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.

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 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.

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

    Read up on the changes here:

    One thing Pages does which Pages '09 doesn't do is Right to Left text such as Arabic.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    First of all click Safari/Reset Safari, next click Safari/Preferences/Extensions and turn off extensions. The re-test
    If the problem persists, try using safari in safe mode:

  • 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?
    JT

    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.

  • My mac mini won't open Pages

    Every time I try and open pages on my mac mini. When I try and open it It lets me choose the style of page I want then says there has been an error. What do I do? (I just got my first mac)

    It's still on warranty I assume - you get 90 days of free tech support so would suggest you give them a call and see what they have to say. After the 90 days you still get another 9 months of hardware support. If you go for the AppleCare you can get phone and hardware support for a full 3 years - a pretty good deal as Apple has great technical support - usually rated the best.
    These are user to user support forums, so take advantage of the phone support as long as you can. But use whichever one you prefer - people here are always glad to help.
    Good luck...

  • Mac won't open pages from iPad.

    I have emailed a pages document from my ipad, saved it on my mac and it wont open. It always has before the latest IOS version was installed on the ipad.
    It says i need a newer version and directs me to the app store.
    Software is all up to date on the Mac
    do i have to pay for a new version of pages? or should it be automatic to receive the new version so that the two are compatable?
    help please
    thanks

    As the system is not reporting any new software for my Mac pages, does this mean it won't be compatable with my iPad pages?
    And here is the kicker.... you need to update the whole Mac operating system first.
    You need to be running OSX 10.9, once you have downloaded this 'free' update, then you need to update pages to Pages 5.0
    Once this is done, then you can 'easily collaborate' with the iPad.
    What OS on the Mac are you running? (Check under the Apple drop down menu, then select "About this Mac")
    And What version of Pages are you using (Check under the Pages drop down menu, then select "About Pages")
    You need to be on OSX 10.9 and Pages 5.0
    Sadly Apple decided not to warn iPad users that they were taking collaboration away unless you update every Apple product in one go.

  • IPad won't open pages

    So I have pages documents and numbers documents that were created on my iPhone5s. When I open them on my iPad (1st gen) it says I need to upgrade to open it, however I can't update the app as it doesn't support it.
    Is there any way that I can open these documents on my iPad?

    Dropbox, GMail and other 3rd party network solutions are having trouble with Pages 5 file format which is a modified .zip package.

  • Safari 5.1.9 problems in OSX10.6.8 (won't open pages/tabs-buggy)

    Hi,
    My rig:
    OSX 10.6.8
    iMac Late 2006 Intel Core 2 Duo 4Gb RAM
    Safari 5.1.9
    I have two tabs that are working ok: facebook & Gmail, but Safari fails to open new tabs.
    When I try to open other sites in a new tab, I get the "safari can't open the page because it can't connect to the server" error.
    The internet is working ok as Firefox is fine.
    I've updated the security patches for Snow Leopard.
    I've done the Java updates.
    I've also tried re-installing Safari via download from Apple.
    I've run Disk Utility to repair the disk (does it actually do anything?)
    I've tried repaired permissions via Onyx & Disk Utility.
    All I want is a reliable browser!
    Is this Apple's twisted way to get people to update from Snow Leopard and/or buy a new iMacs??
    I tried Chrome & its a piece of crap - so slow & buggy!!
    Firefox is ok atm but it does crash ocassionally (that's why I ditched it some time ago).
    I went back to Safari (my previous default browser) & maybe it was a bad move!?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Vic.

    Hi,
    I managed to solve the issue by stumbling across a thread on FineTunedMac.
    I was actually about to close the tab then glanced at it.
    In the end the problem was with Little Snitch 2.3.6.
    Somehow it had blocked any connection on port 80 & once I deleted that the world was good again.
    Strange!!
    Thanks for your help.
    Will closing down Java create any issues with web browsing?
    I've checked my extensions & they're set up to auto update in preferences, so I assume they should be ok.
    Kind Regards,
    Vic.

  • Pages 09 won't open .pages document

    Received a pages file from a colleague. When I double click to open it, Pages starts, then I get get the message: The document "xxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx.pages" could not be read. The document does not have a valid format. What the heck does that mean??? How can I open it?

    Prior to pages '09 pages saved its product as packages, not individual files. '09 has the option of saving as package, but that is not the default. Packages can not be successfully emailed unless first archived. You will have to ask the sender to resend it as an archived zip file or if they have pages '09 to uncheck the save as package in preferences. This is the way it is.

  • Pages won't open Pages document created last week

    Having created a pages doc last week in Pages 09, OSX 10.7.5, I find that this week I can see it in Finder, see a thumbnail, open it with Quick Look but cannot open it in Pages for some reason ?

    Thanks, I managed to answer my own question in the end, I had a version of iWorks on the machine and subsequently I got the latest version of Pages from teh App store. What seemed to be happening was that the document was being written in one version but associated with the other version. I removed both and re-installed from the App store and that seemed to resolve the issue. Why this only started happening recently when both versions have been on the machine for some time !
    Anyhow, thanks for your response - maybe this will help others.
