Created a new doc in pages 4.3 yesterday now message says i need newer version to open my docs
Created a new Pages doc yesterday with my current version. Now can't open it. Message says I must upgrade to Pages 5.1. If the doc was created in my current version, 4.3, why can't I still open it. Other documnets created some time ago get same message. Reviews of 5.1 are not even that terrific.
Are you using Mavericks OSX 10.9.2, your tag says Mac OSX 10.6.2?
If so are you sure you have not converted your file to Pages 5.1 format using either Mac Pages 5.1 or an iPad version?

Can't open a document I created an hour before with Pages 5.0.1; get message saying my Pages is too old, for me to download 5.0.1
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

When I try to open a document created in Pages, I get an error message saying "[Document Name" can't be opened." I don't want to lose hours of work; has anyone else encountered this?
A few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.

Cant open document I just created. A message pops up saying I need to download the latest update from the Apple store. But I have already done this.
Where did you create the document and where are you trying to open it.

Trouble opening a just created Pages file.....error message says I need a newer version of Pages......Apple Store says I have version 5.0.......opening an older Pages file it says I have version 4.3.......can not find any way to try another upgrade to 5.0........please help......
ThanksPersonally, I would not recommend deleting/removing the iWorks 09 folder for several reasons: one is that the new versions have had several functionalities removed and until you decide that you can work with the new one and do not miss any features the older version had, I would leave the old one in place. Personally, I will not be using the new versions.
The second reason is that you can accomplish what you want using a different approach: simply open a Get Info window of your document and choose which version of Pages you want this to open in - you can also stipulate that all docs like this are opened with whichever particular version.
FWIW: Once you have edited an old document in the new Pages version, you can no longer open it in the older version. However, you can still export it to the old version. -
Sometimes when I send an email with a Pages attachment it is tuned into a zip file and then I am unable to open the atttachment afterwards. I get a message saying I need a newer version of Pages in order to open the attachment. How can I get around this?
Carol,
The message saying you need a newer version indicates that you saved from a newer version and tried to open with an older version. This has nothing directly to do with whether the file was compressed and packaged in a .zip file.
If you have two versions of Pages on your computer, you must take care to note which of them you are using. You may want to delete a Dock alias to the older version and you may need to change the Finder preference for which version is set to automatically open .pages files.

Can CS4 be used (easily) to edit docs created in newer versions?
I have recently created a series of documents for work using the newest InDesign trial version. My trial is up, and now my boss and I are trying to figure out what to buy. We are a small non profit, with a pretty tight budget, and so my boss would prefer we buy an older version (the complete CS4 sells for under $500) and have the whole suite for one price rather than pay yearly for just one product (InDesign). We are currently only using InDesign, but would make use of Photoshop if we could afford it as well. I should note that we are not making anything terribly complicated, but may hire someone down the line with greater skills than I have.
I have three concerns about this:
1. Opening files created in newer versions — since our trial has ended, we now longer have access to the newer version of InDesign to "downsave" our files.
2. My computer is a Mac running on Yosemite 10.10.3, so I don't know if CS4 will work.
3. Will files created in CS4 be able to be opened in newer versions should we hire a designer with access to more updated software?
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks!1. Correct.
2. Maybe…maybe not. CS4 is unsupported.
3. That should not be an issue.
You should note that CS4 has not been sold through any legitimate channel in quite a few years. The likelihood of buying a genuine copy of CS4 is very low. -
I have Pages version 2.1 for the i-pad. I have Pages on my Macbook, version 4.3. When I try to ipen a doc on my Mac it says I need a newer version to open this doc. There is no newer version. I need these docs in a bad way and cant get to them on the Mac. Any ideas?
IOS Pages 2.0 and 2.1 implement an entirely incompatible document format with Pages ’09 v4.3. It cannot open them, and you are then prompted to update to Pages v5+ which is compatible with your IOS Pages.
Unfortunately, updating to Pages v5+ is a bad thing, as it is a brand new application that has omitted over 90+ features from Pages ’09 v4.3. When you update to Pages v5+, it will move your old still functional version of the earlier Pages into /Applications/iWork. Aside from all the missing functionality, Pages v5+ will likely damage older documents that depend on specific Pages ’09 v4.3 features (including AppleScript and custom Templates).
Oh, by the way, the older and new Pages documents have the same filename extension (.pages) making document organization difficult without applying different tag colors to old and new documents.
We are recommending that users remain on their earlier Pages version. You may have to export documents from IOS Pages as Word .docx to avoid the OS X Pages update notice. -
Should I create a new version of my app?
I am upgrading an existing app from "Multi Folio" to "Multi Folio with Entitlement and iTunes Subscription"? Currently, I have created and downloaded the .ipa file. I used the existing Apple ID from Manage Your Apps and can get the new test app loaded, view the library, and download sample issues using a Test User account. But I can't sign in using the entitlement vendor's sign-in page. That could be on my end or on theirs.
So, here is my question: When I get the sign-in process worked out and am ready to upload the binary, will I need to also create a new version of the app in iTunes Connect. Or can I simply use the existing Apple ID from iTunes for the new app in App Builder?
Thanks,
Steve WalburnUse the existing App ID in iTunes Connect if you want to replace the existing app. Create a new App ID only if you want it to be a different app.

After a crash on my iMac, I reloaded iWork 08 from my disk. All the documents I created in this ap will no longer open. Message says I need a newer version of Pages to open this document. I can find nothing on this problem in apple support.
It sounds as you have had iWork09 on your computer. Check that you don't have a iWork09 CD.

64 bit Photoshop CS 5.1 Extended crashes every time I create a new file or open an existing file
I installed the 64 bit version of Photoshop CS 5.1 Extended successfully. It opens fully without issue. However, any time I create a new file or open an existing file, it crashes.
I figured this would have something to do with my graphics card, but it still does the same thing after updating the drivers & nVidia software. Seems like my whole trial will end up expiring before I ever even get to use it!! Please help!!
System details:
Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit
Service Pack 1
AMD Athlon II X2 215 Processor 2.7 GHz
4 GB RAM
nVidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430

How do I create a new profile without opening firefox?
Firefox is not opening for me even after I uninstalled and re installed it, I have been told that often this problem can be fixed by resetting my fire fox account, and while I have been instructed on how to access my profile without opening fire fox there is nothing that will tell me how to reset my profile or create a new profile without opening fire fox. Please help, I don't want to loose my important information and I really really don't want to use chrome... it sucks...

When Aperture creates a new version from a RAW file, no new master file is created. This makes total sense and I understand why.
When I edit a photo in an external editor (Photoshop CS6) from within Aperture, Aperture creates a Tiff file to edit in Photoshop and saves it along with the RAW original once I have finished editing it in Photoshop. I understand why this is necessary too. So far so good.
But if I then ask Aperture to create a new version from the newly created image edited via Photoshop, it creates another new Tiff. I can't see why this is necessary. Aperture should be able to apply further new Aperture edits to the newly created Tiff in the same way that it creates new versions from a RAW file without duplicating the master - by remembering any new 'recipe' changes applied to the Tiff. It only needs to remember the edits made as the Tiff already now exists.
Can I stop it creating repeat Tiff files each time I create a new version from the Photoshoped photos?
Thanks in anticipation.Hello Kirby,
I clicked on the 'Show in Finder' and it revealed a new file called IMG_0961 (1) which goes with the original IMG_0961.CR2 and the edited new tiff created for Photoshop which was called IMG_0961.tiff
I noticed also that a separate version I had previously created using Canon's DPP stand alone software and titled by me IMG_0961 (DPP).TIF (same thing but from a different original) does not form a new master file when I create a new version of that one. I've tried this with a few images but when the original is edited in Photoshop via Aperture a second version of the Tiff is created for the 1st version of the image when I create a new version fo it.
