Can't open documents created in Pages with macBook pro running maverick

Hello,
I just bought the new MacBook Pro and downloaded iWork. Now when I create a document in Pages and save it to Documents, I can't open it. I get an error messages saying a file is missing. Also, all my old documents created with Pages that I transfered from my old MacBook won't open. It says file too old, need to save to Pages 09.
Tried opening the old documents in Pages 08 and saving them, but still can't open them.
Any suggestions?

Further to my earlier post about this problem, our IT man came in to the office, by coincidence, so I grabbed him and it seems that he has cracked it.
You need to proceed as follows :
Select the document by single click on the icon (i.e. select it but don't double click which will try to open it.)
Go to File Menu and chose "Get Info"
Half way down the drop down menu, chose "Open with" then select Pages 4.0 (i.e. the iWorks 9 version)
This process will open that particular iWorks 8 document.
But, if you also tick the "Change All" box it means that opening with the new version of Pages will become the default and will apply to all iWork 8 documents so you should not need to bother with this ever again.
So far, that seems to work.
(One might have thought it would have been a good idea for Apple to have built this in as a default ?)

Can Use 'any' DVI monitor with Macbook Pro?

I just want a simple 20" or 22" monitor as a 2nd screen for my Macbook Pro 2008 Unibody
Can I use any monitor as long as it says "DVI"? and then get the mini-display > DVI adaptor to run it from the macbook?
For example any from this list here would be ok : http://computers.shop.ebay.co.uk/Desktop-PCs-Monitors-/171957/i.html?trkparms=65%253A2%257C66%253A1%257C39%253A1&rt=nc&_nkw=dvi%20monitor&_catref=1&_ dmpt=UK_Computing_ComputerComponents_Monitors&_sc=1&_sop=2&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14. l1581&pgn=2
Would these work ok? as i dont need the huge 27" Apple display as its out of my price range..

Would a VGA monitor work with the mini display > VGA adaptor? or is this not as good quality?
It might, but VGA is an older analog standard and DVI is digital, so DVI should produce a better picture.
Sorry for all the questions! Also is DVI-D still compatible (whatever that means?)
According to Wikipedia, DVI-A is DVI to analog and DVI-D is full digital. So DVI-D is what you would be using anyway, if you were connecting to a DVI port on a monitor.

Can't pair iPhone 5s with Macbook Pro via Bluetooth

I have an iPhone 5s and Macbook Pro with retina display (running on iOS 8.0.2 and Yosemite respectively). For some reason, my iPhone can never see my MBPr but the MBPr can see the iPhone. Pressing the "Pair" button on in the Bluetooth setting panel in OS X will trigger the pairing confirmation to show up on my iPhone. After confirming the pair request, the devices remain connected for no more than 2 seconds. Then they just disconnect. (The status is "Not connected" underneath my iPhone on the Devices list in OS X)
This has been bugging me for a while, even before I upgraded to iOS 8 and Yosemite. I was hoping the upgrade will solve the issue but apparently not. My iPad on the other hand has no problem in connecting and remaining connected to my MBPr. That's just baffling.
Just some context: the reason why I wanted to connect my MBPr and my iPhone via Bluetooth is because I want to use my my iPhone as the hotspot. Yes, I can use the USB cable, but can't blame me for trying the wireless route (And no, connecting via wifi doesn't work)
Any help is appreciated!

Help with iMessage with MacBook Pro, iPad 2 and iPhone 4S.

Hi all, needing some help please.
I send an iMessage using my MacBook Pro, I receive a reply on my iPad 2 but nothing appears on my iPhone 4S.
Why is this?

in the iPad you are using as acount one ore more e-mail acounts, for example: [email protected] !
in the iPhone 4 or 4S you can use a TELEPHONE acount! for example:   +1 987654321
and !!! you can use one ore more e-mail acounts, for example:   [email protected]
in the mac you are using as acount one ore more e-mail accounts, for example:   [email protected]
So, very important is, that on ALL devices is the same MAIN acount activated!!!
For example:   ipad: [email protected] / mac: [email protected] / iphone 4(s) [email protected]
Your e-mails must be registerd in the appl store, your main acount for example.
iCloud must be con mail activated!!!!
After this doing, sending a imessage from each device apears instantly in the other devices!!
Anathor very IMPORTANT detaill: in the apple store, in your acount you must enter the correct tel. nummber.
Don´t forgett the country code... +1...+41...or so.
Then you can use the tel. acount on your iphone 4(s) also by this way!!
Good look!

Can't print on HP4M with Macbook Pro using Snow Leopard

Hello Everyone,
I've tried everything I know...which isn't much...to avoid having to request your help knowing that many people have had similar problems. However, I still can't get my Mac to print with the HP4M printer regardless of what I have tried. I'm using AsanteTalk (Appletalk to Ethernet) to connect to my computer. It worked great with my old iMac but those days are gone. I'm currently using OSX 10.6.6. I did try a parallel to usb cable but that didn't do it either.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Jim

I recently downloaded HPPrinterDrivers 2-1.6.dmg. It's my understanding that this file is the most current one and is dated 3/24/11. For your info, when I'm using usbtb with the parallel cable, I do get a note saying it sees a usb printer when the HP 4m is connected. Unfortunately, it doesn't contain an HP 4M driver. When I'm using Print Setup withoutt usbtb, however, there are all kinds of Laserjet drivers that can be selected but the old printer always goes into "Pause".
I tried the parallel cable with my wife's Macbook running Tiger this morning and still didn't see the printer. I guess I could try my iMac with the parallel cable and do know that it does work with AsanteTalk. I'm afraid it's about over for the old warhorse but I'll check into resetting the printing system first.
Thanks, again, Greg for all of your help and time!

Cannot sign in to iMessage on Macbook Pro running Mavericks 10.9

Everytime I try to sign in to iMessage I get this message. My Apple ID and password are both correct. I have used them to sign in the multiple apps on multiple devices today. I upgraded to Mavericks not too long ago and have not been able to sign in since. I had iChat before, which worked fine. iMessage works in my iPhone and iPad. If anyone has any ideas on how to resolve this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
In Applications/Utilities open the Keychain Access app.
Make the Login keychain the highlighted item top left.
And the Passwords the item bottom left.
On the right hand pane find anything that relates to iMessages.
Most likely you will have something that starts IDS: yourAppleID-Auth token
Restart the app.

How can I sign into iMessage with a different Apple ID?

I setup iOS5 and got it running. I used all my existing AppleID info.
Once it was running I decided to do some personal housekeeping and went to AppleID.Apple.com to clean up my various emails and to set my appleid to a email address that I actually am using.
I made the change and I was able to update to the new main ID in facetime but I can't login to iMessage anymore. It just keeps asking for the password to my old AppleID and won't allow me to put in the new ID.
How do I get iOS5 to forget the old iMessage ID?
Any advice would be great!
(I must add: This has been the MOST problematic update I've ever done with Apple - I had difficulties with my iPad2, iPhone 3Gs AND my AppleTV Gen2)
Jason

Go to Settings>iCloud and change the email address. You can change the password there, too.
It took me some time to find it, too, but they seem to be two names for the same function.

How can I restore data from my iPhone after sync with macbook pro?

I accidentally syncronized my Iphone with MacBook Pro on iTunes and lost all data from my phone (calendar, contacts, photos, etc.). Is there a way to recover that information? Thank you!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You cannot. However, you can solve this problem by setting the iPhone as a new device and upgrading iOS in Settings -> Software Update.
After upgrading iOS, open Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, Setup Assistant will let you restore the backup.

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:

I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to recover this info? Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addresses.

I tried Peggy's List > Select All > Copy > Paste into an AW spreadsheet suggestion.
In my case, pasting into the spreadsheet lost all text formatting (mostly text set to bold). The results of formulas were pasted, and checkboxes were pasted as "on" or "off". The DB did not contain any pop-up menus or radio buttons, but I expect they would transfer as a number showing the list position of the chosen item.
Pasting the copied List view data into a Numbers table gave a result similar to that with AppleWorks. I selected B2 as the target cell (for top left cell of the pasted data) to avoid any effects of posting into a header row or column. Bold and regular text formatting looked the same as it had in AW's List view.
Based on that, I'd slip the 'paste into an AppleWorks Spreadsheet step, and paste directly into a Numbers Table.
Regards,
Barry

HT1338 What's going on with iCloud (MobileMe)? I'm able to sign in here, but I can't access mail on my Macbook Pro, iPhone, or work computer. I always get an authorization error (user-id or passwork wrong). This has been going on for almost a week now.

The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
- connecting the iPad to your Mac
- selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
- selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
I assume that music and other items sync ok ?
