Cant open document from Pages

I can't open a document I need from Pages.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Your “invisible” type may be the result of a recent update to 10.6.4. Did you just update via Software Update in the Apple menu? That has caused a variety of problems, including not seeing the type. The remedy is to update with the Combo update available here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048
Also, be sure that you have the latest version of Pages.
Try this and let us know if any problems persist.

Why can't I open documents from Pages ?

I downloaded the new Pages software, but can't seem to open any documents previously created - still is telling me I have to download pages?? Help

The best advice is to exclusively use Pages ’09 if it was installed prior to the Pages v5 upgrade downgrade. The older Pages will be found in /Application/iWork '09. Any double-click on a Pages document will invoke Pages v5.
I would bet that you had Pages ’08 or ’09 previously installed (now moved to /Applications/iWork '0?). Pages v5(.2) dropped support for Pages '08 and RTF documents. Pages v5(.2) document architecture is incompatible with Pages '09 while still retaining the .pages extension — just to keep you guessing.
If you attempt to open this new document architecture in the older Pages application, it will not tell you about this incompatibility, and just remind you to that you need the new Pages version. It is too stupid to notice that the latest Pages v5 application is installed. If you open a Pages ’09 created document with that application, you will get the same warning, because Apple thinks you should use Pages v5(.2) instead.
Pages v5(.2) will be all too glad to open a Pages ’09 document without any acknowledgement that you are entering the Twilight Zone, and that this document has quietly been transformed into a Pages v5 document architecture — no longer compatible with Pages ’09. Although there is an Export > Pages ’09 feature, the significant differences in application feature support means that you likely will not get a 1:1 correlation export compatibility with Pages ’09.

Cant open documents in pages beta

We have updated to Mavericks and as a result have iWork beta
Today we did the pages update on my iPad and now the documents are no longer readable on both the macbook and the iPad. I can see most of the documents on iCloud but they cannot be opened, emailed etc. Get the message "document cannot be opened" please try later.
We have tried the reset of Documents and Data to no avail.
We have not updated the software on my iPhone and all the documents on iCloud are there and can be opened and edited and emailed etc.
The problem is obviously a software problem and Apple appear to have updated something that is not working properly.......!
We have hundreds of documents stored on the Cloud and we really need this to work properly.
We have not tried using numbers or keynote yet - don't want to get too depressed.
Please let us know if anybody finds a solution to this and when Apple might be fixing it.
Thanks in advance.

Could you clarify a bit? iWork beta (this forum) is the set of web apps you can use when you go to icloud.com with your browser. It is totally separate from iWork/iOS and iWork/OS X and doesn't depend on Mavericks, you can use it from earlier versions of OS X too.
When you get the "document cannot be opened, please try later" message, is that when you try to open the doc with the browser web app? Or the others, or all of them?

Have you checked the iCloud Drive FAQ for help:iCloud Drive FAQ

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud. When I go to the mac app store it says pages 5.0 is installed, but Pages says it's running 4.3. I just want to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad.

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud, but the mac app store says its already installed and won't let me upgrade. when I check the version of pages I am running it says 4.3. I just want to be able to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad. How can i get Pages 5.0?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got Pages 5.0, but you still have got Pages 4.3, so Pages 4.3 is being opened instead of the newest version, being this the reason why you get a message telling you to update Pages to the most recent version.
If you don't need the old version, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and delete the old Pages icon or move it to an external drive. I don't recommend you to do this, as users are complaining about the lack of features of the new version.
Instead, what you can do is to put the new Pages icon in the Dock by dragging it from the Finder window to the Dock, so you can open the new Pages version from the Dock and you can open all your documents with it after opening the application

Did you click on the little triangle? Did you select one of the document files before pressing COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window? If the panel is closed it looks like this:
If you then click on that little triangle gadget you get this:
A temporary solution is to CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the document file, navigate to the Open With item, and select from the sub-menu.
The first method makes the association permanent. This method only applies to the currently selected document.

Why does my iPad 1 not open documents in pages from my mac after downloading update on pages on mac?

Why does my iPad 1 not open documents from my updated mac-pro laptop pages since i updated the mac. Have updated latest pages for iPad 1 it could and still not able to open docs as i could before update on mac-pro

The most recent version of Pages that you can run on the iPad 1, running iOS 5.1.1, is not compaible with the newest version of pages on the Mac.
If you had the old version of Pages on your Mac, and off hand I can't remember what version it was, you should still be able to use that version and then it will be compatible with the Pages app on the iPad. I updated to the newest version of Pages some time back but was able to keep the older version as well.

Turn off rich text in your email signature. Delete images too, if any.

Since OS X Yosemite upgrade, cannot share document from pages in word format. Therefore document cannot be opened by non apple user. How do I get around this please?

Since the OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 update to my iMac (27 inch, Mid 2010) , I can no longer "share" a document from Pages in word format via email. It can be sent as an att but then as "Pages" cannot be accessed by a non apple receiver. Please what is the answer, the old method was fast, simple and efficient.
Out of my depth appreciate some help.

Are you using the File > Export function? It will deposit a Word document onto your desktop (or any folder you choose) and then you can attach it to your email.

I can't print my document from Pages...the Print Button is down behind the Dock...and I can't click it to Print....healp!

I can't print my document from Pages...since the Print Button is lodged behind the Dock...What do I do?

Hi Judith,
Your Print button should be accessible, of course, but sometimes we can do things to confuse the system and we have to take some action to get out of that situation. This case sometimes arises if we change the resolution of our screen display since opening the app, or if we change the position of something that is set to "stay on top" of the display.
If the Dock is the problem right now, you could Hide it or Move it to a different edge of the display, to get it out of the way. Settings are in System Preferences, Personal, Dock. I usually have my Dock set to automatically Hide itself, so it's never in the way.
You could also try Saving, Closing and reopening Pages and see if that resets the location of the Print Dialog. Or, you could just hit Return rather than clicking on the button.

How do I copy a document from pages into email (not pdf) and have color and format the same as the document created in pages?

How do I copy an entire document from pages into email (not pdf) and have color and format the same as the document created in pages?

Pages ’09 v4.3 and Pages v5.2.2 are entirely different document architectures. Consequently, copying and pasting a table from Pages ’09 circumvents the customary translation process that would occur if you opened that Pages ’09 document in Pages v5.
Make a backup copy of the Pages ’09 document that has the table in it, and then open this document in Pages v5.2.2. The table is translated into Pages v5 document format and displayed correctly. You can even select this Pages v5.2.2 table, and then copy/paste it into another Pages v5.2.2 document with accurate results.

How can I retrieve my document from pages

I need to recuperare my documenta from pages, from a previos iclou account

Yes it is possible -- but I don't have much help for why it isn't working for you. I just tried saving 2 documents from Pages version 5.5.1 on my Mac and was able to open the document from Pages on my iPhone. The only things I can think of is to insure both are using the same Apple ID and that when you save on the Mac your save dialog is set to save to Pages - iCloud or to iCloud Drive.

Cannot open documents in "PAGES" app since updating software. can anyone help???????

Generally, you are more likely to get an answer if you post in the iWork for iOS forum at

How can I save my document from pages to a flash drive?

How can I save my document from pages to a flash drive?

Locate the file on your Mac, plug in the USB stick (the mac should prompt you to open it, or do this automatically), click and drag the file from the computer (wherever it's saved to) to the USB folder. That's just putting an already saved file there.
To save it TO your USB stick, find it in the Save To diolog on the sidebar. Click it, then save it there.
