Documents stored in iCloud will not open on Macbook applications

None of the iwork apps; Keynote, Pages, or even Preview will open documents that were saved in icloud. They will open on my iPad, but when i try to open them on my mac, it says "the file ' ' .pages cannot be opened."  I have tried closing and reopening the applications on my computer. I have tried opening various documents but none of them will open. Does anyone know why this would be happening?

Found a solution on another thread from back in 2012.  Wanted to give credit where credit was due, so here you go:

    I can use icloud.com in IE10 but the odd thing is that I believe iCloud in not compliant with IE10 and needs to run in Compatibility mode. But for some reason IE10 see's it as compliant. You can go into the Compatibility mode through Compatibility view settings and manually addin icloud.com. As for icloud in my opinion its really forgot about the rest of the world that does not use a Mac, iPhone or iPad. I cannot get the settings to work with icloud with any Android device, or using Chrome browser even though selecting display desktop site gets you a slightly broken icloud.com on Chrome browser in Android. Although many things dont work right. Same goes for IE10 as I have expieienced with crating a email message. It appears as though the backspace after the first line of a message does not work and I could not reposition cursor either. I am so glad I don't have to use icloud for much because I doubt I could deal with it as it is now. I guess another option is to try Chrome on your PC or Firefox?
    Chrome should work as it is a WebKit based browser as is Safari. If iCloud works with Safari it should work with Chrome. But anymore their is no guarantee's.

  • "If you turn off iCloud Drive, all documents stored on iCloud will be deleted from this Mac.

    My wife changed her iCloud password on her iPhone, and when she went to her iMac she changed her iCloud password there to match the iPhone. Then she got the following message:
    "if you turn off iCloud Drive, all documents stored on iCloud will be deleted from this Mac. This appears under her iCloud account. She has Yosemite on her iMac.
    So she's stuck. Any ideas?

    The documents remain in iCloud, but are removed from your mac.  So if she turns it off, they will be removed.  If she turns it back on, the documents would again be available.

  • I just updated to Lion and my Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint will not open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I bought this software from Apple and the store installed it when I bought the MAC. What do I do?

    I just updated to Lion and my Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint will not open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I bought this software from Apple and the store installed it when I bought the MAC. What do I do?

    Buy version 2011 of MS Office.
    Or you can download OpenOffice, LibreOffice or NeoOffice, which all come very close to working with MS files just like MS Office does.
    Or iWord, I have heard, you can purchase.

  • Itunes will not open on macbook.  says requires quicktime 7.5.5 or later.

    Have a macbook and when I try to open itunes it says that itunes requires quicktime 7.5.5 or later.  I try to download quicktime as i have 7.5 and it tells me to manage software through the software update function.  The software update function will not find an update for quicktime.  Help!  Not sure how to get itunes set up

    Hi there,
    I have also just updated my computer via the system updates. I am running OS Snow Leopard 10.5.8, and my iTunes won't open and then prompts me for a Quicktime update 7.5.5.
    Now, I have gone through the Apple support and downloaded the Quicktime update 7.5.5 for OS 10.5 or later (or whatever it was - the second from the top?). Anyways, it says it installed properly and that I need to restart my laptop. Once I have restarted, iTunes still will not open and it still says I need to update Quicktime.
    I have tried a few other solutions and nothing seems to work. Do you have any further suggestions on what I have to do to make this work? I'd really not like to have to use another media player to play music. And I don't really want to have to go out and buy a new laptop.. Although I'm starting to get really frustrated with the apparent lack of support for older versions.
    Any thing you can suggest will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Icloud will not open on iphone

  • JPGs exported from Lightroom 5.6 will not open in other applications

    Recently I have noticed that jpgs exported from Lightroom 5.6 can not be opened in Canon DPP 3.14 and can not be resized using Image Resizer plugin. Both of these I use frequently.
    I have seen mention of this issue re other applications also. Does anyone know if there is a solution?
    I am using Windows 8.1 64bit. 5D Mark ii

    This was an issue with 5.5 (the placement of some of the internal headers of the jpgs was changed and some other applications, including DPP, could not open them), but was corrected in 5.6. I just checked on it by exporting a jpg and opening it with no problem in DPP 3.14.15, Windows 7 x64. Are your jpgs old ones from LR 5.5?

  • Pages Documents created on iPad or iCloud will not open in iWork Pages on Macbook

    I recently purchased the iPad Air and installed the latest version of Pages on it to share and create documents in Pages over iCloud between my devices. Before, I never had any issue creating a Pages document, say on a Windows OS at work, and then opening it up on my Macbook Pro in the latest version of Pages (5.0). Now when I attempt to open a Pages document created or edited on my iPad or through a browser using iCloud, it will give this message on my Macbook:
    "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. You can download the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store."
    I have repeatedly checked and all software is up to date. I have also attempted turning iCloud off and on again on both devices. One of the biggest reasons I bought the iPad was to have my documents on the go, but if I can't edit them later on my laptop, what's the point? Any ideas?

    Jeff,
    In the few moments after answering your first reply, I double-checked the Mac App Store and it revealed an update for Pages 5.1 -- Issue Resolved! I guess it was just cranky software today. Thanks for your patience.

  • Files on iCloud will not open

    I have been using the new iCloud for the past week, now when I try to open any file, I get this message. "The document "filename" could not be opened." I am connected to the Internet. I signed into to iCloud and I can see it in the iWork (which I thought been discontinued.) Is this a server error or a setting error?

    I had the same problem earlier today. iCloud files in Numbers, Pages and Keynote on my Mac all had these issue. The files could be opened regularly on my iPad.
    I re-checked and it is working again. I would chalk that up to intermittent server issues with the just-release document features on the Mac. Lets hope this does not happen more regularly. Scary cloud-experience.

  • TS3988 iCloud is closed. i log in and a keychain requests a password. no known passwords work and icloud will not open.

    icloud is closed. I cannot login. system asks for a keychain password. how can I open icloud?

    Try resetting your password. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.

    I am unable to open word documents as attachments from my 5c. I never had the problem with the 4s. Is it something in the settings?

None of the suggested work-arounds to open the file (such as from within Word) will work.
    Since you didn't describe "the suggested work-arounds" I can only guess whether you've tried this, but in that message there should be a paperclip icon on the left at the bottom of the header. If you drag that icon onto your computer's Desktop, you should see the attachment(s) there. Can you open them by double-clicking?
