Help!!! Have corrupted pages file, can't open

Can someone help me open this file? I've looked through the forum and google and can't find any way of recovering this document! Pages crashes "unexpectedly" whenever I try to open it
FYI, it happened when I had to manually force a shut down with the power button after my Desktop Manager application froze the system (before I could save my previous few minutes of work)

nevermind, just going to copy and reformat all the text out of the index.xml file. what a drag

Help! Tampered with files-can't open photos in iPhoto any longer

I was doing some stuff with my Photo folders in the Finder, accidentaly deleted some and even after dragging them out of the trash I can't view my photos in the iPhoto anymore. What do I do? All the pictures are still in the Finder folders but iPhoto says its library is empty and it won't import any pictures from Finder. How do I restore them? Please Help!!

Hi grimus,
See if creating a new library will help get your photos back into iPhoto.
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!

I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop. One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700. How can I get these off of my computer?

I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop. One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700. How can I get these off of my computer?

From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?

I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader ( I had it until recently) and don't have an "edit options"

I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader. (I had it until recently.) None of the "helps" seem to help. I can't even open Adobe Reader now.

Ignore the instructions about "edit options", to install Adobe Reader download the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and run the installer. Alternatively, a direct link for the latest version of Adobe Reader is:

It was tricky sorting out the actual questions in your post. I think the other poster has one question in hand, here's the other:

Pages file won't open

One of my pages files won't open. It has been fine, but all of a sudden a message comes up saying the file cannot be opened. There is no information as to whether it has been corrupted or not. When I try to open it in the mac-Microsoft office program it says the file is too large.
Either it is just too large at 669MB and I need to reduce the size? or perhaps it is corrupted. I can open a preview version from its folder, by going to file and 'Quick Look "file name." But I can't copy any of it from there to paste into a new file...
Could someone tell me how to reduce the file size? Or increase the memory of the Pages application? Or some other way of opening it.
And no, I haven't backed it up like a fool.
Thanks guys

Yvan,
Thanks for the tip on Activity Monitor, I did not know about that! I have a similar problem, and I hope you can help me. I have a MacBook with 2GB mem and early Intel Chip (see SN provided).
I am writing a book with MANY pictures. They are all .JPGs and are fairly big. I have to keep the book in a single file if I want the Table of Contents (TOC) to work (I think... TOC is quirky). The file is 165.4 MB on disk and loads in Activity Monitor as 173.5 MB. With Preview Open and Safari Open, the system memory report says Free 161MB, Wired 296 MB, Active 1.06GB, Inactive 497.4 MB, Used 1.84 GB, Swap used, 41.8 MB. Pages loads the book slowly and functions okay with major hesitations from time to time; but it does take a VERY long time to save and will freeze with a wheel of death from time to time.
The obvious answer is to divide the book; but that would defeat the TOC advantage I'm enjoying.
Advice?

I have a Pages file that I created on my iPad that I used iCloud to store. There are no backups anywhere of this file. The file is stuck on updating on iCloud and on the iPad the file is inaccessible. There is a black bar over it which greys the file out.

I have a Pages file that I used my iPad to create. iCloud backed this file up to its server. The problem is that my iPad somehow locked itself. I had to restore it, the file was lost on the iPad, and when I went back to iCloud to retrieve the file it said it was Updating. The file is showing on my iPad, but it is greyed out with a black bar across the bottom of it. I have been working on this file for months, and I am not about to lose it! Please can someone tell me how I can get my file to download at least to my iMac.
This file has worked perfectly in the past, and what I didn't realise when the iPad was locked down was that the Airplane Mode was on, to save battery. If that had been on it would have synced it again.
Can anyone help me? I'm supposed to be sending this file (completed) off to a company in three days.
Thanks

On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Toggle Documents & Data off then back on then restart your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
On the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Documents & Data then reselect it then restart your iMac.

Pages? Can I open really old Claris Works documents with it? I don't want to spend $20 to find out.

Pages? Can I open really old Claris Works documents with it? I don't want to spend $20 to find out. I saved a bunch of stuff back in 1996, and now i need to open it.

Pages opens strictly word processing AppleWorks v6 files.
The problem with ClarisWorks files were they could contain all sorts of objects from databases to spreadsheets, drawings and paint. the iWork suite is not that versatile.
But you really have little choice as ClarisWorks and AppleWorks are both history. If you are going to switch, the sooner the better.
Just keep in mind what Apple did to ClarisWorks/AppleWorks along with many other of their appliactions and technologies theywill ultimately do to Pages.

Error maximum number of files already open error.No Other files can be opened or printed until some are closed

Hi everyone,
While opening a file in Adobe reader 10 in Windows 7,I am getting the error as
"The maximum number of files are already open.No Other files can be opened or printed until some are closed."
Can Anyone help or suggest a setting for this ?
Thanks in Advance
Omkar

Hello omkar841987,
Could you please let me know how many files have you opened simultaneously.
This count will include files that are being displayed as well as opened (without being shown in the viewer).
Using Reader, you cannot make any setting for the same, but close some of the files before crossing that limit.
It also depends on your OS and memory size as you would need enough memory to open many files at a time.

I close the textedit programme , open Pages, click on the 09 pages file to be opened and the message "The document "7-09 receipts" could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the "Pages document"

What's this??? How do I open the pages doc??? Kalavati

You have obviously not done what you think you have done.
You have tried to open a .pages document in TextEdit which can't read them.
If you are confused which program you are in look to the top left of the menu.
You can either drag the .pages file onto the Pages icon on the Dock, open it from within Pages' Open dialog, double click on it or right mouse click > open with.

Many Thanks, Kurt.
I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)

I recently did an apps update and now the update is locked and I have 15 apps I can't open. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I recently did an apps update and now the update is locked and I have 15 apps I can't open. Any ideas on what may have caused this and to fix it?

If Ralph's suggestion doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.
