Help!  Pages is killing my files: multiple "index.pages" couldn't be opened error messages.*

I have had 4 pages files in the last two weeks get corrupted and come up with the error messafe: "'index.pages' couldn't be opened.  The requried index.xml file is missing."  I have tried several ways to restore the file, but none work.  My bigger question and waht i want to know is how to stop this from happening again. Please Advise.
Macbook Pro
10.8.3
Pages 09

I tried some of the other suggestions on the Forum and none of them worked.
However, I right clicked on the corrupted file in the Finder and selected Show Package Contents. In the subsequent menue, there was an index.pages file.  I opened it in Pages and voilå there was my file complete with tracked changes and comments.
Hope it works for you.

  • Firefox crashes when I try to attach a file. Seems related to second problem, receive error messages when opening a pdf in adobe (which I've reinstalled twice)

    Crash report:
    bp-74bcae4f-7091-4121-a809-5d0a12140616 is the crash report.
    I have a Toshiba.
    When I open my email (gmail, school email) and try to attach a file, firefox immediately crashes and gives me two error messages. first one is a WerFault, i think. I don't know if that's relevant.
    Apart from these crashes in Firefox, I am also having the same problem when trying to view or open a pdf in adobe reader, or even open adobe reader itself. It won't try to open, I just receive the error messages. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it two times now. I did this thing suggested online where you go into the control panel and look at all your plugins. Then, "repair" adobe reader - pretty sure it's just a button that says repair. that didn't do anything, of course I also could have done something wrong.
    I realize this could be a problem unrelated to Firefox, but I'm doing what I can before I take my laptop in.
    Please save me.

    Ok two things based on the crash report and the steps you took right before the crash:
    # Try to disable scrolling acceleration and restart Firefox. Does it continue to crash?
    # Try Safe Mode and do the same task as above with email and the pdf [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    # Also pdf.js may be helpful to read pdfs in the meantime. You can change the default reader in the Preferences/Options > Application menu of Firefox.
    # Try to clear out the downloads folder and update flash to version 14 (that should do it)
    IF it crashes again please also provide the new crash signatures and we can take a look :-) Sorry for the crashing :-(

    Hello:
    I am very much a novice with Final Cut.  I am trying to import some video files from  my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error  1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".  The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1).  Can someone help?  Thanks, Paul

    You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
    Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

    The fact that it's been here for more than nine months without a response suggests not.

  • Iweb 1.1.2 won't open, error message, index.xml file is missing

    i am using version 1.1.2
    i opened iweb and made a very very minor correction.
    i went into 'inspector' and saw that 'make all links inactive'
    was checked so i unchecked. i published and when i opened it again
    it was checked. so i made an extremely minor change on one of my pages....
    changed the angle of a drop shadow 1 degree....then published again.
    now iweb will not open. i get an error message that says
    'index.xml file is missing. none of my copies of the domain file will
    open. none. including old copies that i copied to a disc. all domain files
    whether on the hd or exterior drives get the same error message.
    i'm guessing that some how that file got corrupted.
    how do i install iweb again and if so how do i retrieve all my work?

    I't not iWeb that got damaged but the domain file. The index.xml file is inside the domain.sites file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Do you have a backup of that file you can revert to?  If so then do it.  Otherwise a long shot but try the following:
    close iWeb.
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Page Element within PageDef Files for Nested Pages

    Hello all,
    I have found in the help file of the JDeveloper, information about the <page> element which can be added in a page's definition (xml file) for referencing a nested page definition, but it does not work, I do not know, perhaps I use it wrongly.
    Please any ideas or recommendations?

    Hi,
    nested bindings are not supported in 10.1.3.x. In Jdeveloper 11 the templating mechanism uses pageDef references

  • Raw files (CR2) - Cannot modify IPTC Core fields, get error messages

    I really hope someone out there can help me out here because I'm at my wit's end!!!!
    I have a bunch of raw files in a folder, these are just pictures I took for a bit of general practice over Christmas.
    Now, whilst trying to modify the IPTC Core Fields (basically adding my name and my email address to the pictures), it worked fine for most of the pictures, but for some reason it will not work for the last 20. This is driving me nuts. :(
    The first picture which doesn't work was taken literally 2 seconds after the last one which does work. All pictures work perfectly well in Photoshop, I can open them, modify them, save them as jpgs... no problem. But it just won't let me change the metadata. The pencils on the IPTC Core fields are nowhere to be found, the option File>File Info appears greyed out... etc.
    The error messages I get:
    1. When clicking on any line of the IPTC Core Fields (such as "Creator") =
    i "This property cannot be modified".
    2. When clicking on the keywords tab and trying to enter keywords =
    i "The file Name.CR2 cannot store XMP metadata. No changes will occur"
    I have scoured the web for help, visited multiple forums... to no avail. It looks like other people are having the same problem but no-one seems to have a solution. I haven't done anything different to those 20 pictures, so I just can't think of a logical answer, it just doesn't make sense!!
    I am only starting to catalogue my pictures in the hope of going professional one day and this is extremely discouraging... if anyone out there can help, I'd be ever so grateful. Right now I just feel like pulling my hair out!! :'(
    OK, rant over :)
    Thanks very much for reading and thanks very, very much in advance for any suggestions/ideas!!

    I have run into the same problem. I downloaded photos in raw format ".CR2" from a Canon 40D via a compact flash card reader to my laptop. I labelled the ones I wanted green and then transferred these images via wireless transfer to my desktop. I had not checked any keywords while these were on the laptop. I used the Bridge (CS3)File/Copy to menu selection to effect the transfer. Both systems are Windows XP, SP2.
    I then tried to check a keword in my list for an image and got the error message number 2 reported by Maria Atkins above. I got the same for all images on the desktop system.
    Observations:
    -the green labelled items are correctly filtered on the desktop, but the labels on the images all show white.
    -not all images even have .xmp files associated with them. It appears to be a random thing.
    -although I have checked my preference to have double click open an image in Camera Raw in Bridge it will not do so with these images, always opening Camera Raw in Photoshop.
    -the camera exif data is correctly attached to the images, whether there is a .xmp file associated or not.
    -On my laptop I found I can check keywords and they are stored with the image with no complaints from Bridge, and whether the image has a .xmp file associated with it or not. This is after I had copied the images to the desktop. I was just checking whether the problem was with the original images or just the transferred ones. It appears to be that something was not done correctly in the transfer.
    This is not a trivial issue since it is essential for cataloging images to enable future searches. I hope someone from Adobe is paying attention and will respond with an answer.

  • All my itunes files are visible but none will play. Error message file cannot be found

    All my track file names and other details are visible in Itunes but none will play. single click on a track and an exclamation mark embeds at the front of the track name bar double click or click play and the error message I get says, "The song  could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? A search doesn't find it.
    This applys to every track on itunes but music files in the music folder in Finder still play.  Can anyone Help please

    Is it possible that you moved the iTunes Media folder using Finder (or renamed something along the path)?  The reason this happened is because iTunes cannot find the song files where they were previously located.  However, you know where they are located (in the "music folder," so you can find the files using Finder and play them.
    That you need to do is to put the files back where they were previously located.  If you need to change the location of the files, you can use iTunes to move the files, so that iTunes can keep track of their new locations.  This article provides instructions

  • On loading backup file to new computer, I keep getting an error message.

    I have been trying to move my bookmarks to a new computer using the backup file which I prepared and stored on my external hard drive, but I keep getting an error message.

    What error message do you get?
    Can you attach a screenshot?
    *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
    *Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
    *Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
    Make sure that the bookmarks backup file has the correct (lowercase) file extension:
    * .html for a HTML backup (needs to be imported and merges bookmarks)
    * .json for a JSON backup (needs to be restored and replaces bookmarks)
    You can check the file type via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.
    If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "Firefox > New Tab > Open File" or "File > Open File".
    A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup shows as a web page with clickable links.
    A JSON backup starts with: <b><nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki></b>
    An HTML backup starts with: <b><nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki></b>
    Verify the file type in the Properties via the right-click context menu to make sure that the change has been successful.
    Windows hides some file extensions by default.
    Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
    You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

  • While extracting file during restore, device disappear from iTunes; then error message "device cannot be found" pop up

    After failing to update iphone OS, now iphone is in restore mode
    Device Manager recognize USB is connected to iphone with Location: Location 0 (Apple Mobile device (recovery mode))
    IPhone in "connect to itunes" screen
    After connect to itunes, message "itunes has detected iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes." appear.
    In Device -> iphone screen, after clicking "Restore" button, itunes status become "Extracting software..."
    During extracting software process, iPhone change from "connect to itunes" screen to just "apple logo", then go back to "connect to itunes" screen; but at the same time device-iphone disappear from itunes; once itunes complete extracting software, error message comes out "The iphone "iphone" could not be restored. The device cannot be found"
    Tried again few times with all USB device removed & turn off all the anti-virus software and all other non window / non-apple softwares; but same thing happened.
    so now I'm stuck.... please help.

    after reading loads of forum, I didn't find anyone with the exact issue as mine. But I've followed some of the restore issue solution and now I've fixed my phone. Yeah! maybe not all the steps are necessary, but here was what I've done to fix it:
    1.     update itunes
    2.     Ensure Apple Mobile device driver is updated and work (i.e. iphones is detected in device manager)
    3.     run "msconfig", ensure all other non microsoft / non apple softwares are off
              - Services: only enable all microsoft services, apple mobile device and bonjour service
              - Startup: only enable QTTask & iTunesHelper
    4.    Restart computer
    5     turn on itunes
    6.    connect iphones via USB.
    7.     itunes show iphone in device column, but iphone still stay in "connect to itunes" screen
    8.     Hold Sleep button + Home button until the screen goes dark (iphone disappear from itunes device column at the same time), then just keep holding the home button (without holding the sleep button)
    9.     first time, though itunes showa iphone in the device column again, but iphone screen go from apple icon straight to "connect to itunes" screen and stay there again.
    10.     I repeat step 8, this time though itunes show iphone in the device column again, but the iphone screen stay dark showing nothing (instead of showing "connect to iTunes" screen)
    11.     then I click restore in itunes, this time it manages to finish extracting software without iphone restarting itself during the process; itunes find the iphone and complete the restore.
    12.     As I do backup all the time, now I just need to sync all the files / setting back to iphone, everything back to normal again.
    still not sure what happened to my phone, but now it's fix =>
