You cannot open it on Windows Vista. The only application in the world that opens a Pages document is Pages, and it is Mac OS X only.
Your options:
1. Find a Mac with Pages installed, and save the document as doc or pdf, which you can open on Vista.
or, if that is impossible,
2. Open the files in a texteditor like Notepad.exe on Windows and try to piece text fragments together to get at least part of your original text back. The images should also be available somewhere, even though all formatting is gone.

  • How to open iCloud documents with ios8

    hi,
    i recently updated my iPad to ios8. and when it asked me to install iCloud drive i said yes.
    Now when i open pages on my iPad, there are no documents.
    when i go to iCloud.com on my mac i can see those documents, so they still exist.
    how can i open my 'iCloud'  documents on pages on my iPad?
    most forums say i need to install the beta version of os yosemite, whom installation is not working those days.
    the only thing i can do was to open a document on iCloud.com on my mac and send it to me via email. from my iPad i could read that email and open the document in pages. But this work only with small documents, a document bigger than 20 Mo, cannot be sent via email ( i'm using gmail)
    please help me, i really need those documents, i'm working with them.
    thank you

    View Solution.

    There are a couple ways you can do this, here's one:
    1. On the Windows 8 Start screen, move your mouse to the bottom left corner of the screen.
    2. Right-click in the corner, and a menu should appear. Click File Explorer.
    3. The Computer window appears on the Windows desktop. Click the file location from the navigation panel on the left. (Example: If the file you're looking for is in the Documents folder, click Documents, and browse to the desired file.)

  • Is there a way to open pages documents on Windows?

    My ibook G4 died recently out of warranty, and I'm now without a way to open all my documents, which I created and saved in the pages format.
    Is there a way to open these documents on a Windows XP machine, as that is the only machine I currently have available?

    There are certain data you can save copying a Pages document to Windows, but not much. If you copy a Pages document to a Windows machine, you will see that it is in fact a folder. In that folder you will find pictures you have included in the document. You will also find a file called index.xml.gz. You can expand that one on windows - probably with Winzip - and open the xml file in your favourite browser, and then you will see the text you added among quite a lot of garbled text. Formating will be gone.
    To some of us Pages' Mac-centric format is very inconvenient, but many users are quite happy with it, as they rarerly need the documents on a Windows machine. And when it happens they see no problem first exporting it to .doc, .pdf or .rtf format.

  • Cannot open iTunes 8 with Windows Vista Home Premium

    Hopefully someone here can help me with my problem. I have a new Ipod Touch that needs itunes 8 to work. I have a new HP PC with Windows Vista Home Premium. The problem I'm having is: itunes & quicktime will download successfully onto my computer, but after download will not open. I receive the error message "itunes has stopped working...A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". I have tried to open them from desktop & from programs ...will not work. I was using itunes 7 with no problems, but after upgrade to the new version (itunes 8) I started having this problem. Here are a few of the things I have tried so far with help from just about every tech support I could find: uninstall & reinstall itunes (tried this several times..didn't help, but itunes installs successfully each time)...try installing quicktime & itunes separately (didn't help)..disable firewall & virus protection (didn't help)...turn off Data Execution Prevention (DEP) (didn't help)...tried saving software to discs & installing itunes that way (didn't help)...I have updated all of my software including windows vista...I've run virus checks...& pretty much run checks on anything else I could find. I occasionally get the same error message when I try to open Rhapsody, but not every time. I'm thinking of using my backup discs & restoring my computer to factory settings. To do that would be a last resort, but I am getting pretty close to desperate. Does anyone think restoring it would help? If anyone has any ideas for me to try I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much.

    You need to to check to see if your Quicktime works normally. Itunes will not work if QUicktime doesn't.
    If Quicktime doesn't work, describe what happens with any error message in full.
    Go to your control panel and try to start QUicktime preferences. In XP you need to be in classic view to see it, I am not sure about Vista.
    Give the full text of any error message.
    Have you installed any of the following:
    ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar
    If so uninstall them, they are bad news for Quicktime.
    Report back with your results.
    If Quicktime is OK have you seen the Apple troubleshooting article for launch failure, I guess you have probably done quite a bit of it anyway, but is worth going through it systematically:

  • How to open page in new window while handling event on link.

    Hi all
    I have a requirement where page should be opened in new window when I click on link.My item style is 'link'.Despite of mentioning target frame _blank, I m not able to open it in new window.I m handling event by setting Action Type as fireAction.I hope this might be the reason because of that this happened. Can somebody suggest some solution so that I can open it in new window.
    Thanks,
    Bhupendra

    Hi ,
    though i am not able to answer, i can get some answer for my question.
    How the link item is handled thru the ActionType and event in the Client Action..?
    The reason for this question is that we are trying to extend the customer search page in AR - EBSR12. there the search result page has the Account Name as a link and the Action event says viewAccountName and the action type says firePartialAction. I am trying to understand this so that i can add more parameters to the link so that i can use them in the target page of the link..
    Any help is appreciated..
    Thanks

  • How to? Pages document with movie embeded to pdf

    Hi,
    I have a pages document ('09 version 4.3) with a movie (mp4) embeded.
    But when I export it to a pdf the movie changes to a still.
    But pdf supports movies right? So, does anybody know how to export the pages document into a pdf and still have a working movie?
    Thanks in advance!

    MV,
    That's a Preview/PDF problem, more than a Pages one. I believe that you will be able to add an embedded movie using Acrobat Pro.

  • How to open pages documents in icloud on macbook air

    I have pages on my IPhone, IPad and new MacBook Air.  I have confirmed that my Pages documents are all in iCloud.  However, I dont know how to find them from the Pages app on my MacBook Air.  Any help?

    You need to be using Mountain Lion to automatically have documents in iCloud visible on your Mac. You can go to iCloud.com in a web browser & download the files in an earlier OS.

  • Why can I open Word documents with Pages but can't open Pages documents with Pages? Oh, that's right, I have to PAY EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND

    Sorry, this just upsets me.

    Heaven knows what you are talking about.
    I suppose you might, but probably don't, which is why you are huffing and puffing.
    Probably this is about Pages '08 not opening the later Pages '09. Given that Pages '09 introduced many features that Pages '08 didn't have, it is not too surprising.
    Remind me what it costs to buy Pages '09 from the M.A.S. to use on as many computers as you want.
    Also remind me what it costs for Ms Word, or even lunch. I'm sure you have blown more on a whim than you ever will on something as useful as Pages.
