documents saved with grey heading won't open

You haven't stated what version of Pages that you are using.
The file chooser, the dialog when you first launch Pages, will show you two categories of files: those that Pages can open, are normal appearing icons with black text, and those that it can't open, appear as faded grey.
For instance, if you exported a Pages ’09 document as foo.rtf, it would later appear normal in the Pages ’09 file chooser as a document you could reopen. But, in Pages v5, that foo.rtf document icon will appear grey in the file chooser, because Pages v5 cannot open RTF documents. In either application, icons for PDF, images, and other documents that are incompatible with Pages — remain inaccessible grey icons in the file chooser.

I get a window with grey lettering that says: "Open Itunes to populate this list" or "Open iphoto to see photos from your iPhoto library in this list.  I have tried relaunching programs and nothing appears. Seemed to start happening a while back after one of my system upgrades.

    After a a lengthy conversation with Apple Tech. ($20), my problem seems to be solves. The Iphoto problem solved by trashing the plist file. The Itunes was more involved. We had to create a new Itunes folder and import the files into the new folder; and then import the playlists.

  • Web pages saved with Firefox can't be opened with Firefox

    Web pages saved with Firefox can't be opened from my file manager (Thunar/VectorLinux) with Firefox. Why is this? I can open them with Opera and other browsers but not Firefox.

    What file extension do these files have?
    Does it help if you rename them and add a .html file extension?
    There are other things that need your attention.

  • Grey CC Icon with Spinning wheel won't open

    The CC icon on my taskbar won't open and if I hover my mouse over it there is just the rainbow wheel of death.  I can't use the updater or uninstaller because it says that CC is still running and asks me to close it (which I can't do either).  What do I do?

  • I'm not sure I know how to use numbers 09 after iworks has left. I emailed a copy from my ipad to my pc, saved it  but, it won't open on my pc desktop.  Also, how do I move an excell spread sheet now from my pc to my ipad?

    iWork (no 's') for iOS & iWork for Mac have not gone away.
    iWork.com (beta) (also no 's') is going away the end of July. iWork.com (beta) is/was an online method of sharing iWork files with other users & never moved out of beta in 3+ years. It is a completely different entity than the iWork apps & is not & never has been necessary for the iWork apps to function.
    A Numbers document, as well as Pages or Keynote documents, cannot be opened on a PC. You must first export them to a file that a PC can use. For Numbers that is generally Excel. In Numbers on your iPad tap the wrench & then tap Share & Print & choose Excel as the file type.
    As for transfering a file from a PC to an iPad, I'm not sure as I don't use a PC.

  • My IDML file saved in Indesign CC won't open in Indesign 6

    Hello. I am on trial of Indesign CC, and exported a file to an IDML trying to open it on the school computer since they only have previous versions of Indesign.
    When I try to open my file that I worked on at home in Indesign CC, it won't open in Indesign 6.
    The pop up message I get is "Cannot open the file xxx.idml." Adobe Indesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."
    The file IS saved as IDML
    The file isn't open in another application
    I don't know how I can fix this issue. Could anybody help me out? I've tried both .indd and .idml saved under CC, but it refuses to open in prior versions.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi, I too am having this issue. Did you get anywhere with resolving the problem?
    Many thanks in advance

  • HELP!!!  Saved file in CS4 won't open!!!

    I've been working on a file I created for 4 hours.  Saved properly many times, reopened and resaved with no problems.  Now it won't open.
    Every other file I have opens fine, but this one just freezes up the program.   I tried recovering, deleting the recovery file, etc....
    Job is in jeopardy... any recomendations?

    It sounds like Peter has it hand, but some possibilities are Preflight and SING; you can try disabling them both. What OS?
    What version of InDesign? 6.0.6?

  • Making documents saved with pages 07 work with the new pages app

    I have pages 07 that I have used for years on my iMac.  I recently got a MacBook Air, and had to put on the new pages app.  Now the new pages won't open my documents from pages 07.  I am told that I need pages 09.  Where do I get Pages 09?

    There was no Pages 07 so you have either Pages '06, '08 or '09.
    You can still buy iWork '09 from Amazon, quite cheaply:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=432&mforum=iworktips ntrick
    but if you do have Pages '06 that will not be a solution. Instead export your Pages '06 document to Word .doc then open that in the later Pages.

  • New late 2012 iMac with Mountain Lion - won't open Reader Library

    Everything transferred from my old iMac (2009) to my new iMav (late 2012), except for the READER LIBRARY.  It won't open on the desktop, and it won't open or recognize my Sony e-reader.

    I'm about to attempt the same thing -- migrate everything from my old iMac (running 10.6.8) to a brand-new iMac (running Mountain Lion). 
    Still using FCP7, with no intention of switching to FCP X. 
    Should Migration Assistant work for me?  Would updating my old iMac to Mountain Lion first make a difference?  (I've already purchased it for my laptop, just haven't used it on my iMac).

  • File-type "Firefox Document (.htm)" images saved to the HD won't open

    Images online occasionally default to file-type Firefox Document (.htm) as opposed to the usual jpg. They will not open even with firefox and display as coding.

    Can you describe in more detail what happens when you try to open the saved movie? I don't know what you mean by "main menu1".
    Since you saved your movie you may find it completely intact in the project's Package Contents folder. Right-click on the project icon (the one with the star on it). Select Package Contents in the drop down menu. In the Package Contents folder you should find a file named (project movie title).iMovieProj. Open that file and see if your movie is intact with all edits. If it is, duplicate it and move it to your desktop. Rename and save it as a new project. Don't otherwise mess with the Package Contents.
    Is your external drive formulated for Apple? Should be MAC OS extended or MAC OS extended (journaled).

  • Unable to open HTML documents saved with Firefox 3.0.6

    After downloading complete web pages using Firefox, I am unable to open the html document using Firefox in Linux (it is no problem with Opera). I consistently receive this Firefox error message:

    The file /home/richard/Documents/ . . . cannot be found. Please check the location and try again.
    * Could the item have been renamed, removed, or relocated?

  • Pages Documents created on my iPad won't open on my MBP

    My daughter has a MBP running 10.8.3 with Pages ’09 v4.3. and an iPad 2 running 6.1.3 with Pages  1.7.2 that she takes to Uni.
    Pages documents that she creates on her MBP and saves to iCloud will open on both her MBP and her iPad but Pages documents that she created on her iPad and saved to iCloud will not open on her MBP.
    The error message states-
    "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. Use Softwear Updtate to install the latest version of iWork"
    She has run Software Updates on both devices and everything appears to be up to date.
    Suggestion on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.
    Gary

    Does she happen to have an older version of iwork on her Mac by any chance? I wonder if the document has somehow been attached to an older version of Pages & that is why the error is showing? I had the same problem with a quicken file. when I downloaded the web connect file, I got an error that the file couldn't be opened. I think I had to right click on the file & then choose 'open with' to find the correct application.
    If that doesn't fix it, it might also be worth emailing herself the document to see if the issue is in the export from the ipad, or if it's with the icloud part of the equation.
