HELP! can't open pages or numbers?!

Hi, I am getting very stressed as my pages and numbers will not open!!! I have a coursework deadline on friday and cannot access my files
Everytime I try and open a pages or a numbers document, or to even open the programs it says
"Pages quit unexpectedly while using the ShareKit plug-in"
Help will be greatly appreciated as I am panicking!!! I have no idea what ShareKit is!!!
Thankyou

It is an app for iOS as the link shows.
Did you get the file from someone else?
Sharkit is for sharing, did someone share this with you?

Help - can't open page to edit in iWeb

I have built a website on iWeb but now when I open it page doe snot open just the top menu bar of iWeb. Does anyone know how I can retrieve the page? Thanks

Rachael ~ Glad that worked. Sometimes iWeb's Domain file becomes so corrupted that it can never be opened again. So always back it up — perhaps via _Time Machine_ or SuperDuper! (or both.) ...Then you can go back to using an old but uncorrupted version — see this Apple doc:
_iWeb: Backing up your Domain file_
By the way, rather than posting again, you can edit a post within 15 minutes of posting — just click on the pencil icon in the post or reply you want to edit. Then make your changes and click on the Edit Message button to post those changes. Each edit re-starts your 15 minute window for re-editing.

I cannot open pages; I am told I can't open pages while updating. I did not know I was updating. I cannot open a new pages document. My menu list is ok, but when I click on a document it won't open. Can you help?

I cannot open pages. The message says, can't open pages while being updated. I did not knowingly update anything.
The program is stuck in this mode. can you help?

Your copy of Pages may have gotten stuck when downloading. This article explains how to fix a stuck Mavericks download; the same procedure should help with any application:

I just upgraded to Numbers 3.0 but can´t open files of Numbers 9 version, help...!!!!!!

I just upgraded to Numbers 3.0 but can´t open files of Numbers 9, help...!!!!!!
Can someone please help me, because those files in Numbers 9 version, are for my work and now I can´t open them

Hi rabg,
I am using OS X 10.8 on a Mac. This may be different if you are using iOS.
Does Numbers'09 still exist in your Applications folder? Maybe inside a new folder? Perhaps you could use Numbers'09 to open your documents.
Regards,
Ian.

HT3159 Can not open Pages. Tried to empty trash, closed programs on dock, then reloaded I Work. All three programs show up in Finder that they have been downloaded; however, Keynote and Numbers programs will only open. Any suggestions?

Can not open Pages. Emptied Trash, closed open programs on Dock, Reinstalled I Work from disc. Finder identifies that the programs have been down loaded, however, only Keynote and Numbers will open. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Eric. I'm not sure what I should be checking using your suggestion--as I said, I'm an utter novice with the iMac. However, I saw a reference to problems with the Library entries, so I checked mine and the iWork files were missing, something confirmed when I checked the crash log. In desperation, I did another software update, and that seems to have fixed the problem completely. Now wondering if I dare upgrade to Lion!

How can i stop Pages and Numbers JUMPING ALL OVER THE SCREEN. MAKING ME SEASICK! PLEASE HELP

how can i stop Pages and Numbers screen JUMPING ALL OVER the place when i just touch my mouse. i have tried and tried to change the mouse settings - but it is the software. especially Numbers. you can't even see what the page size is until you print. i am so SEASICK! PLEASE HELP.

Thanks for the trouble to reply. this problem only happens with Pages and Numbers for me. i have done all the tricks like restarting. the main problem is that the working space is not 'stable' - it has no 'ends' even on full screen. in Numbers - UNLESS I SET IT TO 25% VIEW (which is way too small) - the actual total 'work space' is way off the grid - so every time i move the mouse the table i am working on zooms off to left or right, at the slightest touch. i have set my mouse to no gestures!
the thing is this did not happen before the latest upgrades.
but thanks anyway. SG.
if you are a techy person - i have another prob. in Mail i am unable to set the SORT / VIEW messages to BY DATE.
(it used to be ok, at one time, too). now it continually reverts to BY SUBJECT oh so annoying !
restarting etc does not change it. resetting preferences does not change it.
maybe i need a new Mac ?
mine is a 27-inch, Mid 2011. running latest.

Can't Open Pages

Can't open pages or keynote or numbers.
There is a question mark over all of the applications on the dock, and they don't show up in my applications folder in finder. I tried finding them in the spotlight and they didn't show up there either. I tried updating the software and got this message:
An eligible Keynote application was not found in the location /Applications/iWork '09.
Pages won't let me open any documents that I have done in pages. Please help because I use pages and other iwork applications for everything in school.
Stephanie

I don't know which one it is because he never told me, when I got my computer back I noticed iwork was on my computer and it has always worked just fine until like two days ago when it wouldn't open a pages document that I had been working on earlier that day. He never gave me any information about it so I don't have a serial number and I don't have a dvd. I can't access a serial number if there is one because basically I guess iwork doesn't exist on my computer right now. I'm sorry if this isn't helpful but that is all I know.

I can't open Pages app on iMac

Hi all, I can't open Pages app on my computer. These are the specs:
iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB, 2/3 of a TB free storage capacity,
Yosemite version 10.10.2
Originally I had iWork 09 and since I've been updating from the app store since they are available in there. Now version 5.5.2
I wanted to create a new document and explore the templates available for it but when I click the icon of the Pages app or the name in the Finder apps list, it won't open, instead it opens another window for me to choose what I want to open -see pic below-, and as you can see from the light gray color I can't choose the app from there.
I open the app store to see if I needed to update it and it is already done. So I don't know what to do... Can anybody help please? Thanks

If one clicks that extreme left icon, the Favorites panel disappears, leaving the Application view we see posted. Additionally, the OP has the
Finder Preferences ▸ Advanced ▸ All My Files checked, instead of their login directory (house icon).
This just adds to the mayhem. Once Finder Preferences is fixed, then the OP can click Applications, and from that lengthy menu, select their login directory, or Documents.
Why the OP did not just click New Document and review the bundled templates, is a question mark. Or click Launchpad in the Dock, to launch Pages.

Can't open pages documents I created 3 days ago with Pages 5.2

get the message:
You need a newer version of Pages to open this document.
- I've just updated to the newest Pages and now I can't open documents I created 3 days ago in Pages. Please help.

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.
Previous Pages 5 versions can not open Pages 5.2 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.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in previous Pages 5 versions.
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.
Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Can't open Pages Documents

I've upgraded all my iWork documents and now I can't open things in Pages. I'm stuck on an endless loop of "You need to be using the most updated version .... which you can get in the app store.... blah blah blah" I'm suing the most up-to-date versioin. I'm using Pages 4.3 and the document I'm trying to open was created using the most updated version. HELP.
Thanks
Carrie

You have both versions of Pages on your Mac and are simply opening the wrong document in the wrong version.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages ;'09 can not open Pages 5 documents and Pages 5 will alter/damage older Pages '09 files and not open any other.
Pages 5 is very much a downgrade missing over 90+ features.
Best to go back to using Pages '09:

HT4157 My iPad. Oonnects to other wifi it used to connect to my work wifi but it will. Not connect now what is work I am connected with my iPhone but iPad will. Not connect or it says safari can not open page

I can connect my iPhone to my work wifi but when I try to connect my IPad it will not connect. It says safari can not open page. What's up with that I have used IPad connected to work wifi before

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Cannot open Pages or Numbers on Megapack for iWork , Cannot open Pages or Numbers on Megapack for iWork

I purchased the Megapack for iWork & Office two days ago and cannot open Pages or numbers. I've been on to Apple support for 3 days now. They have told me to delete app and re-download it. Having done that, problem persists. I've also been told to contact Nick Maskill, the app developer, but the link they gave me to do this http://keytemplates.miniurl.org comes up blank.
This is driving me nuts........has anyone else had the same problem? Have you been able to contact the app. developer?
Your help with this would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sinead

I am having the exact same issue as you. I purchased and downloaded SpreadsheetPro and all that shows is a blank black screen. On the advice of ITunes, I deleted and downloaded again. Same issue exists. I have tried to contact Nick Maskill to no avail.
Interestingly it showed up in my Evernote App as a zipfile. Still could not open.
Have you had any resolution at all? I am at a loss and feel ripped off for $30

Yosemity safari https can´t open page

When our users with Yosemity installed try to connect to the internal site https://privat.alecta.se in Safari, they get a timeout and "Can´t open page" message. If the refresh the page they get connected to the site. It works on other operating systems such as Maverick, Windows regardless of browser.

Hi Dan
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Usually "can't find the server" means the DNS codes supplied by your Internet Provider are somewhat lacking (Firefox has its own Network mechanism, so the two are not comparable). The alternative is to add DNS codes from other sources. Here's how to do it in Leopard:
To add the codes, go to System Preferences>Network. Click on your internet connection - either Ethernet or Airport, then "advanced". In the DNS panel enter on separate lines the following OpenDNS codes: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Select "OK", then "apply".
In the Network panel, if Ethernet or Airport (whichever you use) is not at the top of the list, click on the "gear icon" at the left bottom. Select "set service order". When the help box opens drag your connection type to the top of the list. Select "apply" when complete.
Restart Safari.

New motherboard; now I can't open Pages w/out buying it

Hopefully, there's a simple answer for this prob. I recently had to take my iMac in for a new motherboard. Now, with the new motherboard installed, I can't open Pages, even though I could before I had the repair made. (It was paid for when I ordered the iMac several years ago.)
I have no idea where/what my serial number/registration might be. I had received it back in 2006.
What do I do now to access the software I paid for previously?
As always, thanks in advance for any help on this.

Uh, yea. I realize I'm working w/ '06 software, yet the issue is the same regardless of when it was purchased or what forum I'm asking about it in: Purchased software worked. New motherboard installed. Now software doesn't work. What to do?
Sorry to upset your ordered view of the world.
