Dropbox won't open Pages 5.1 documents in iPhone or iPad

The only way I have been able to get Dropbox to open Pages 5.1 documents on my iPhone or iPad is to create a file in pages, then export it as a Word document and save it that way. Would love for it just open Pages and avoid the extra steps.

Does Dropbox claim to support Pages files?
If not, you'd have to ask the Dropbox developers to consider adding it to the list of supported filetypes.

DROPBOX WON'T OPEN PAGES ON IPHONE6+ ios802

Pages documents created on my MacBook Air use to open on my iPhone. They do not after upgrading iPhone to IOS 802. I can click "More" and then "Open With" and click Pages to work on the Pages document but it now saves to the Cloud and the original document in DropBox remains unchanged.
Apple Genius says convert to the iCloud but I work in a DropBox environment with Windows people and can't convert their docs to Pages.
I must work out of DropBox. The only solution is to drop iWork and go back to Office (Word, Excel). Bummer.

Problem with Pages. I have recently been unable to open Pages, or any documents from Pages on my iMac. Pages seems to be in the Cloud and can open a list of the documents in Pages, but can't open any of those documents.

Recently unable to open Pages or any documents therein. It seems to be stuck in the Cloud. Although I can open a list of the documents I can not open any of the documents.

The answer is simple... If you want to remedy this, then don't save them as PDFs.
Word opens Word and text documents. Not PDFs.

Pages won't open doc or docx documents

I am a professor and my students upload papers to a LMS either as a doc or docx. I then download them and open them in Pages. Suddenly I am no longer able to open any documents in Pages. Can someone please

Yes, I can open Pages and create a new document. I can also open documents I created and saved in Pages. I cannot open documents my students create (presumably in MS Word) anymore. I am using Pages Version 5.5.2(2120). I did not recently update Pages and as far as I know the App Store didn't automatically update Pages. I have tried restarting the iMac and my Laptop.
Based on other forums advice, I am in the process of uninstalling Pages, emptying the trash can (which seems to be a whole other issue since I started this process about 18 hours ago and the trash is still emptying), and was going to reinstall Pages after the trash empties.
Anything at this point will be helpful because I have papers that need grading. I cannot open doc or docx on neither my iMac or Macbook Pro.

Pages 5.0 won't open Pages files

OK, this is weird. Since upgrading to Mavericks with the free Pages 5.0 upgrade last week, all of my Pages files have been opening in Pages 5.0 just fine -- until today. An update dialog opened today November 4 2013 around 3pm saying there was a Pages update. We proceeded with the update and now any document that was opened and saved since the Mavericks update won't open as before. Instead an error dialog box appears stating "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document.". So I click "OK" and then open the document using "Open With" and select Pages 5.0, which is now set as "default" and the file opens fine. I save the file in Pages 5.0. But the next time I go open it, it gives me the exact same stupid dialog box.
If I open a Pages file that has not been opened since the Mavericks update, it opens in Pages 09. If I select "Open With" and select the new "default" Pages 5.0 and save it in that version, the next time I open the file I get that same stupid dialog again: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document."
What the he**? Am I going to have to use "Open With" for every single Pages 09 file that I want to open in Pages 5.0?

I'm having a similar problem.
Running Pages 5.1 on my iMac and my MacBook Pro.
I can't open any Pages document on iCloud from my iMac, regardless of where that document was originally created (iMac, MBP, or iPad). I have tried File -> Open File... from within Pages, as well as by double-clicking the file within the iCloud folder in Finder. However, I can copy the file to my desktop via Finder, and then open it from my desktop. I can create a file in Pages on my iMac and save it to iCloud, but then I can't open it later.
However, I can open any Pages document on iCloud from my MacBook Pro without any problem - including the ones that won't open on the iMac.

Safari won't open webarchives or html documents stored on computer

I occasionally save a webpage to my computer as a .webarchive for later usage, but anytime I try to open them safari takes me to a completely different page. It brings me to my Top Sites page that shows all of my most frequently visited pages. I don't understand why safari would do this since the way the document is created is by saving the page directly in safari (command + S). I noticed the problem initially when Safari wouldn't open an html document that I had created and stored on my computer. I used the page as my homepage because it had links to all of my most frequent websites and because I liked having my own creation as my home page (that doesn’t really matter, though) and then out of nowhere when I opened safari my homepage had been changed to Yahoo (my default engine) and the html document wouldn’t open at all. I thought that maybe the problem was due to a recent update because I noticed that two new tabs were added to the toolbar (ebay and amazon), but I don’t understand why an update would make it so that .webarchive files, created by safari, wont open. I checked my safari version, it is 7.0.3, and if it helps, the html documents that won't open were made with Adobe Dreamweaver. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me what is happening because I do need to be able to open the .webarchive files I have saved in the past. Thank you.

Carolyn, I've told you repeatedly, that site's instructions are crap. They absolutely do not fully remove the Genieo adware. In fact, the uninstaller that site refers you to will actually install components of the adware that were not already present! For the same reason, it makes no sense to rely on Genieo's instructions. I am completely mystified as to why you continue to post these suggestions.
To properly remove Genieo, see:

Cannot open pages 4.3 documents in pages 5.2

Is this a common issue or is it just me? When I search in Finder for a specific document it can't see it. When I open my old Pages icon in Applications then I can find the document. This is great but I still can't open it. I continue to get the message that I need to update Pages to 5.2 and I'm then rerouted to the app store (again), where it tells me that I already have Pages 5.2 installed. I've tried to drag the documents and drop them into Pages 5.2 - it won't let me. I've tried to right click them but only get a quick view or email option - neither of which helps. I've tried to drag the documents to the desktop and open them from there and it won't let me move them there either. This is becoming very frustrating as I can't even open these documents I require for my business to copy them into the new format. Suggestions?

It sounds like they are not Pages '09 files, they are files you have saved in Pages 5.2.
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 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 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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.
Apple has removed 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Pages 5.0.1 won't open .pages!

Hi!
My Pages 5.0.1 won't open some .pages file... created few days ago in this same app!
Couldn't open file 'Arabski ćwiczenia.pages'

Of course also pages 09 doesn't open, this is pages 5 format.

Pages error -1712 won't open, pages error -1712 won't open

Help. Pages suddenly won't open. Shows error -1712. What's happened?

Open Activity Monitor located in /Applications/Utiliites
Select 'View' then 'My Processes' in the menubar across the very top of your screen.
Type Pages in the search field top right corner of the Activity Monitor window.
Now select the application Pages (it should say 'not responding') and click the force quit button that looks like a stop sign with an x in it.
>You should now be able to relaunch Pages.
Force Quitting within Activity Monitor is a quick and efficient way to handle most Applications "Not Responding" or seeming not to open with error -1712.
Just be aware that you may lose any unsaved work by force quitting an application.
It can also work great for an Application that "Freezes" and is giving the spinning beach ball

Mac won't open pages in browsers. Chrome and Firefox won't open any pages - Safari will only open a selected few.

I've had some strange browser issues, with Conduit being added to Chrome (which I've tried to remove via the browser settings). Chrome will open my Gmail account but no ther pages. Firefox won't open anything. Safari opens a few pages (this forum thankfully) but is very selective.
Google is returning results to me via Google.es rather than Google.co.uk
I can use all browsers freely on other devices on home network (although Google.es has popped up on my iPhone now). I've run anti-virus software which hasn't picked up any problems. I've tried uninstalling Chrome and Firefox, but am unable to do so.
Any help or guidance would be really, really appreciated.
I'm running the most recent version of Mavericks on 2012 iMac.

Opening Pages 2.0 documents with Pages 1.01

I cannot seem to figure out how to open a page on my work computer with Pages 1.01 that I saved on my home computer using Pages 2.0. Could there be a possible integration problem with the two different versions? Everytime I click "Open File" it says that it cannot be opened. Help please!?!?

Do you still have Pages 2.0 on your Mac? Even if you still have the trial version of Pages 2.0 which has expired it will allow you to open/view Pages 2.0 documents, but not save them.

Safari won't open page due to certificate error

I incorrectly clicked on something when opening a new page and now the page won't open anymore. The error I get is "the server "shop.rcbs.com" did not accept the certificate". How do I fix this?

The site requires you to have a certificate issued by the site operator for access. You don't have that certificate. Contact the site operator about getting one.

Safari won't open pages

Yesterday Safari simply quit opening pages. Any of them. Even the most common, like Yahoo or Apple.com. I'll get the colored spinning wheel and then it times out. I've added no new software or made any updates to any. I've tried resetting it, clearing all cache, running an ESET security scan, all to no avail. I've since downloaded Opera, which works just fine. Any ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

URL Links won't open pages in browser

Hi, I'm in a Connect session right now, and every time I try to open a link (via a shared powerpoint, or using "Browse To" in a Web Links object, or clicking a url in a chat window) instead of opening a browser page the system tries to download the HTML file and open it for editing. I'm sure this has something to do with a Flash or Connect setting, but I can't find where to look. And I can't use the in-Connect Help, because it won't open! If anyone can help me figure out what's wrong and how I can fix it I'd really appreciate it.

Photoshop won't open or create new documents, works breifly after full windows restart.

Hi everyone,
I am having an issues with photoshop becoming unresponsive. After about 10 minutes Photoshop will not open or create a document.
I've spent hours trying to fix this with no results. I've spent time on Nvidia's forums and tried downgrading the driver back to 275.33 with the same results. I've disabled opengl in photoshop with the same results. This error occurs on both CS5 and CS6 versions of photoshop. I've tried reinstalling photoshop (not removing and reinstalling, just reinstalling).
I can't tell if it's a photoshop issue or a Nvidia issue. I've read countless threads on this forum and can't find any help. Please help.
I've made this video to show you the issues. Thank you for your help

Hi,
I'm having the same trouble as OP: Photoshop opens but will not create a new document or open an existing one. In addition to that, I've noticed that if you hammer on ctrl+n enough times and manage to actually get a document open, PS won't save it but will go through the motions of doing so.
There have been quite a few reports of this issue now over the last year or so and they seem specific to PS CS5 and up. They all remain unresolved. This is actually an easily searchable issue now.

I'm currently working on a big project across the suite and all the other Adobe applications are running fine.
I have tried all the suggested fixes with no result. One other issue that did become apparent, was re-installing PS. After uninstallation, the Adobe installer kept encountering "Exit Code 7" when trying to reinstall PS. The only way around this in the end seemed to be removing all Adobe software from the system and starting again. The original issue remains.
Finally, it's worth mentioning that PS CS5 has worked without any problems on this system for just under a year now. I haven't made any drastic changes to the system so I'm completely baffled as to why this is happening.
Hope this post goes some way to the issue being acknowledged and rectified.
