Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • Im trying to open a pages document I created on my ipad

    When trying to open a pages document I created on my ipad on my mac mini, I get a message that i need a newer version of pages.  But when I look on the app store it says I already have the latest version of pages.. What's the deal?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • I'm trying to open a pages document in land scape format but a window open saying that it only sports documents from iWork '09

    I'm trying to open a pages document in land scape format on my iPad2 but a window opens saying that it only sports documents from iWork '09.
    Also does any one know how to rotate an image in photos or an image that is in a document from pages?
    Thanks

    You could always try turning the Ipad around to landscape after undoing the lock sreen switch on the side.
    Yes you could try using 2 fingers to hold the photo and rotating the picture but it usally goes back to normal. But you try taking a snapshot by pressing the home and the lockscreen button at the same time.

  • Pages crashes when trying to open a pages document.

    Hi there, I'm new to the forum.
    I have been working on a business plan since June and amended it as recently as yesterday. I saved it regularly and I closed the application normally.
    However, on trying to open the document today Pages I get the progress window that tells me the file is opening. It gets halfway and I get the window with "The application Pages quit unexpectedly".
    I have tried the reset option and everything else I can think of. I can open other pages documents it seems only this one is corrupted.
    Is there anything I can do to recover my work. Any help much appreciated.

    You got a corrupted file.
    This is why I wrote many times: don't rely on Save.
    Use Save as so you will be able to check that the newly saved document is OK before removing the old one.
    You may also activate the feature allowing Pages to keep the late version when it saves.

  • Pages somehow vanished off my computer. When trying to open a Pages document it says, "no default application" Any ideas where it went and how can I get it back?

    The Pages program seems to have vanished off my computer. I can't open any of my Pages documents. It says " no default application" I've tried to search ffor it and there's nothing. Is there an advanced search I could try or some other thing I can do to find it? Thanks for any help.

    Hi msmuffy,
    You can re-download it from the App Store: Open the App Store and make sure you are signed on with the Apple ID you used to purchase Pages originally. Click on the Purchases tab at the top of the screen. You should see Pages listed. If it says "Download" next to it, then you can re-download it. If it says "Installed" it means that it is somewhere on the Mac, so go to the Finder and do a Search from there.
    Cheers,

  • Problems trying to open a Pages document

    Have been working on a document on my ipad for a few days now and now can not open the document. I can see the preview of the document, I can duplicate the document (and can not open the duplicate either) but I cannot export or email the document in any format. When I go to open it I get the message "Document can't be opened." and when I try to use any of the conversions in export or send via Mail the wait symbol for creating the document begins but I have let it run for a couple hours and it doesn't seem to finish. The document is only text and only 4-5 pages long.

    I have had a problem like this once, and is now why I export to the shared folder on ocassion to back up my working files.

    Ideas?

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • When trying to open a Word document, I get the error message that PowerPC applications are no longer supported.  What can I do?

    Thanks.

    IMHO the free apps are a band aid fix. If the OP uses Office on a regular basis he will need to upgrade anyway. Personally I have used neooffice and found it substandard however that was just my take. I haven't tried Google's solution.
    We both forgot to mention the OP could also use Pages and Numbers to open their Word and Excel files. If he uses Entourage then Mail and iCal would be viable substitutes.

    Take a look at Apple's document for authorizations -> iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization.
    You can deauthorize all computers from iTunes. All you have to do is click iTunes Store, click your account name in the upper right corner of iTunes, then deauthorize all.

  • Cannot open any Pages documents made prior to upgrading to Yosemie. Pages does not appear in the iCloud list in system preferences.

    Upgraded to Yosemite. Upgraded Pages to latest version. Uninstalled older versions of pages (made with iWork '09). Now I cannot open any Pages documents made prior to upgrading. I keep getting the same redundant message: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. You can download the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store." Not sure if this is relevant, but Pages does not show up in the iCloud list in systems preferences.

    Ok, I found pages on the iCloud drive. But the behavior of Pages is still the same, problem unchanged.

  • Can you open with Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft word for Mac?

    Can you open in Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft Word for Mac?

    Pages '09 will open .doc files from Word 2004. The Mac OS is not what is in question. Pages '09 opens Word 2004 documents and if the same version of Pages will run in Lion and in Mountain Lion ..... Thats all that matters.
    I trust you were using MS Office 2004 and would now like to buy Pages?
