How to recover templates in pages 5.5

Hi Folks,
I wiped my user folder and need to get my Pages 5.5, Numbers 3.5, and Keynote 6.5 templates back.
My MBP is backed-up via Time Machine, so I recovered the Library folder of the deleted account: however, no entries to be found in Library/Application Support; although I found the templates in Library/Containers/com.apple.iWork.Numbers (open package... navigate to Template), I cannot open them...
The error message displays: "filname.template" cannot be opened. An error occurred while reading the file.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Christian

I had an issue with permissions...

  • How to recover a lost page?

    I created a long letter in Pages, using a text box. I saved most of it as a Pages file. When I reached the end of the page, a new one opened, but I have been unable to get back to the original page. The document with that name is on my desktop but it is only the new blank page. I have searched in several ways to recover the original page. What happened? And how can I get it back?

    Open the document. The name of the document will be located at the top of the Pages window. Hover the cursor over the name. Choose 'browse all versions.'  Older versions are located on the right.  Click on the one you want and choose 'restore'

  • How can one Delete a Template in Pages

    Can any one advise me how to delete Templates in Pages on my MacBook Pro?

    Not sure why one would want to delete a template? 
    You can close out the Template Chooser by hitting the red button.
    If you go to applications>iWorks>Pages> and control click on the app>this opens PackageContents>>Contents>Resources>Templates
    You can delete here. I would not advise it. I would have a back-up of your Pages.app or a system back-up incase something goes awry.

  • How can I add a new Template to My Templates in Pages? I've read most of the discussions on the subject but it doesn't work for me. By the time I reach the Templates folder, I only see templates for Numbers and not for Pages. Need help, please.  Thanks

    Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
    iWork > Pages
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    comme il y a un dossier
    iWork > Numbers
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
    puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
    puis lancez la recherche.
    Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
    Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
    Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
    Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.
    Pour moi il est temps de dormir.

  • How do you save individual pages in a template

    If I create a template it gives me an option of how many pages to capture. Capturing three pages then gives me one item in the menu for managing pages. If I save this as a template when it opens I get three pages.
    What I need in the template is three individual pages, say cover, text 1 and text 2, all selectable from the pages menu - just the way the apple templates appear.
    The user manual gives instructions about deleting pages if you only want them to appear in the submenu but in spite of a number of experiments I've failed to make this work. Any deletions, after capturing a page but before saving the template simply lose the page.
    Can any one provide any insights into how to create templates with a list of pages.
    I've posted a related question on section breaks that may form part of the solution.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    To capture individual pages you need to put a section break at the beginning of each page. Then follow the instructions in the help menu. (See your other post for details.)

  • How can I use Pages 4.3 (from Retail pack) template on Pages 5.2 (from Mac App Store)?

    This is a new machine running on Mavericks bought last year since my old Mac had a hard-drive failure. Installed Pages (part of iWork '09 package), updated to Pages 5.0 from the Mac App Store and no issues. However, now I need to use some of the old Pages template (San Fancisco Letter to be specific) and the new Pages dosn't have that.
    So I had to extract the San Fancisco template from Pages '09 and tried installing under 'My Template' on Pages 5.3. But evertime I'm getting an error while installing. That's when I realised after going through the discussions here, that I can't install a Pages '09 template on Pages 5.3.
    So my question is how to use a Pages 4.0 template on Pages 5.3? Is it possible to install Pages 4.3 while Pages 5.2 is still installed? Is there a workaround?
    Note: I don't need Pages 4.3 but would like to use some of the templates from there, working on Pages 5.2.
    Thanks in advance - Sid

    Due to the huge number of missing features in v5.2 that were functional in Pages ’09 v4.3, many of the older version templates expect features/functionality that simply do not exist in v5.2. You should realize that Pages v5 is a brand new application/design, and not a progressive version enhancement to Pages ’09.
    When you updated to Pages v5, that process automatically moved Pages ’09 v4.3 into /Applications/iWork '09. You can continue to use the older Pages (and associated custom templates) on Mavericks.
    I would resist removing Pages ’09 from your machine, as it is functionally superior to Pages v5.
    Templates that you save with Pages ’09 v4.3 are kept in ~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/My Templates
    Templates that you save with Pages v5+ are kept in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iWork.Pages/Data/Library/Application Support/User Templates
    One of the things that I noticed about the original Pages v5 installation is that it transferred a small subset of My Templates from Pages ’09 into the above User Templates location. These were relative simple templates. The complicated ones did not migrate.
    Be certain to make a backup copy of any Pages ’09 template document. Once you open it in Pages v5+, it can no longer be opened in the older Pages application. Providing the template is compatible with Pages v5+, perform a File > Save as Template... to the default location.

  • How do you delete templates in Pages?

    How do you delete templates in Pages?

    Hi Lilly,
    If you mean "My Templates" they are in a hidden folder.
    In Finder, open the Go menu and hold down the option key (alt) in order to see the user library folder.
    Open the library folder and navigate to:
    Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/My Templates.
    Select a template then drag it to the Trash (or command-delete).
    Having gone to all that trouble to find that hidden folder, single click to select My Templates folder, then
    Menu > File > Make Alias
    An Alias folder appears. Rename it to something such as "My Templates Pages alias" then drag it out of My Templates folder to somewhere convenient (maybe the Desktop will do for now).
    You can now close all those folders that you navigated through because the Alias (double click on it) is a quick way to go there again.
    Repeat this process for other iWork apps such as Numbers.
    Another way to manage your templates is to open one, make changes, then Save As Template with the original name of that template. The new template will replace the old one.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Accessing multi-section templates in Pages 5... how?

    We have some templates created in Pages 4.3 that have multiple sections defined.  (A cover page, various internal Body page styles, and an end page).  We constructed our documents in 4.3 using selections from the various sections in the templates (e.g. get a cover with CC text on it, a two column body and a CC end-page, or a cover with commercial copyright, single column body text blank back page etc.).
    I can create a new document from the 4.3 template in Pages 5, but I can't work out how to access these various internal sections.  Anyone know?

    I've just confirmed that the templates features have been removed - if you 'roundtrip' a Pages 09 document into Pages 5 and then save it back to Pages 09, the resulting document has had all the template section related information removed along the way.
    This is a serious blow for us - we similarly use multi-purpose templates in Pages 09 (e.g. just one for all the variations of invoice we generate).  Initial reports in these fora and elsewhere suggest that there are several other key features that didn't make it through to the latest version of Pages - unclear whether these make the application unusable in our production environment or not.
    What is most frustrating is that the new Pages finally has proper RTL support (which we've been wanting for ages)... aaagh!
    But at least we were just about to create a new set of templates, so maybe we use this as 'final nail in coffin' and invest this time in another app - I guess NeoOffice is the most likely candidate, as MS Office (on OSX) still does not support RTL in any sensible fashion.

    How to create a template in Pages to create camera ready pages for publishing a book?

    Nothing is "camera ready" these days, it is all digital.
    What is it you need to know, a book can take many forms.
    Does it contain color photos, spot colors, purely black ink etc?

  • How do I save a Pages template as a separate document?

    How do I save a Pages template as a separate document? I madea schedule template, and now that it is filled in for Sept/Oct, how do I save it as such?

    The first time you save a document made from a template you will get the new document/save as dialog. A template is a special kind of document that will open a new, untitled document when you choose it, either in the template chooser or by double-clicking in a Finder window. A Pages template has the .template file extension. If your "template" isn't really a template, you will need to duplicate the document & then save it.

  • How does one rename or even delete templates in Pages?

    How does one rename or even delete templates in Pages?

    At the top of this page, click on your name or avatar to go to your profile page. You need to have more than one product listed in My Products and the one you need to edit can't be set as the default. So, add a product if you only have one & set this second as default. Then back to your profile page where you can edit the settings, including your OS version. Then back again to set this one as default. This is just one of many, many things that the current forum software makes very difficult. I have to go "hunting" for the setting each time, it's that difficult. If I were invited to test changes or a new version, this is one thing I'd mention.

  • I have Lion 10.7.4.  How do I delete custom templates in Pages '09 v.4.1?

    Hello,
    I have saved custom templates and then revised them and saved again.  I now have several I need to delete.  Also, how to delete custom templates?  Also, how do I delete blank pages?  I hate sending pdf's with a blank page at the end.  Thank you very much for your help!

    Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. The user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your user Library will appear about halfway down the list.
