I am unable to get Pages to launch after copying it to my laptop

I am unable to get Pages to launch after copying it to my laptop.  Any suggestions?

Don't copy the application, you're likely to miss a number of essential files. If you purchased it from the Mac App Store, launch the Mac App Store on the laptop & click "purchases" to install it. If you purchased retail disk or license, you need to use the original installer & have a family pack license.

  • I can't get Iphoto to launch after I tried to move it to a seperate hard drive?

    I cannot get Iphoto to launch.  I tried to move the program to a seperate hard-drive to save space, and then deleted it from my mac. Now neither program wants to open!  I have upgraded and tried to re-install it, but nothing works...

    you clone a system to a new and LARGER hard drive, you don't drag application packages.

  • Adobe apps fail to launch after copying via ARD 3

    For several years we have beeen updating our Adobe apps by updating our master image and copying (via ARD v.1, then v.2, now v. 3) the applications and the associated Application Support files to the target machines. (300 Macs running Tiger) Since upgrading to version 3 of ARD. Adobe apps fail to launch after they are replaced, even with the old files.
    I found a post alluding to a known issue with Acrobat from June. It stated it was a known bug that engineering was aware of. THAT was the only mention I could find. Does anyone know anything more about this? This is critical for our publishing workflow - Adobe has two updates that affect us in critical areas that we need to implement, but are reluctant to visit 300 individual desktops (even remotely) and run individual install patches.
    The silent install works great for installation, but does not address updates.
    Anyone?

    Just FYI. I only had problems with InDesign not launching but this was a know issue with Adobe:

  • Unable to get Pages software update as appleid is different to one at purchase

    Recently got a buddy to buy a new mac mini for me in the US. Tried to set it up last night in Ireland but was unable to download the suggested update to Pages as the email address on the machine (my appleid) was different to that provided when purchasing the machine.
    How do I get around this? What when it comes to a serious security update and I cannot install it due to this stupid limitation? Who's big brother now?

    Eventually found the answer. Click on this link: Alerts may occur when accepting bundled applications from the Mac App Store - Apple Support
    Why should I have to "accept" free software on a new machine though!

  • Unable to get page with video to validate and need help getting text to display correctly

    I need advice on getting a page to validate that has a video. I didn't make the video, but all other pages vallidate that don't have it.
    Also, when testing viewing on ie with large font view the navigation bar on the left doesn't display correctly. I've tried all fixes I can think of, but none work.
    As always any advice is greatly appreciated.
    page can be viewed at: http://www.lotusvalleydesigns.com/previewpages/services.html

    Eeeeeuuuuu yuck.  You know, I've never used that setting in IE and I don't think I ever will again.
    Look what happens to CNN's website when you do that.
    http://CNN.com
    I think IE sucks and this is another fine example of MS's zeal to pile on user options that no one should use.  If MS made their zoom feature optional the way Firefox does, nobody would ever need this atrocious "accessibility" option.
    Good luck,

  • I am unable to get 'pages' to open. I have re-installed i-work and i still cannot open 'pages'. Help?

    I cannot get my 'pages' to work. I have re-installed i-work as well as downloaded a newer version of OS-X and still...nothing. I have to be able to finish papers and open attachments from email. Any help?

    I downloaded OS-X '09 yesterday
    Okay, so iWork is version 09 - but I'm not sure what you are referring to with the above - there is no OS X 09.
    Did you download Lion? That would be 10.7. Or did you update Snow Leopard (which is 10.6.x)?
    What needs to happen is: you need to delete any remnants of iWork (including a free trial if there was one on the computer when you bought it) and reinstall iWork 09 from the disk before you update the OS. After updating the OS and before opening iWork, run Software Update to download/install any updates to iWork. Then repair Permissions (Disk Utility in Applications > Utilities). Then try to open iWork.

  • I guess Chrome will not allow me to sign up for Mozilla newsletters after I downloaded FF, unable to get page to accept my email, etc.

    Been having trouble w/Chrome would play audio only of Vimeo videos, fixed that but now will not display photos on Pinterest, only the links behind them. So I thought I'd try Firefox again, used to use it for several years. Downloaded and then thought I should sign up for your newsletters. But (using Chrome right now) I could not get the page to accept my subscription. Tried several times, refreshed, etc. Not sure why, seems strange.

    I'm sorry cor-el. I have not yet installed Firefox, life is way too busy just now. 24/7 caregiving is taking its toll :( I will install soon.
    I guess with my post here my intent was mainly letting you folks know that apparently there is a bug on that newsletter page when it is viewed in Chrome. I could not find any way to report this issue unless I came here so I gave the whole story when I did. I am pretty sure once I install Firefox, I will be able to use that page to sign up for the newsletters, thinking it must be Chrome. Of course, I could be wrong, we'll see when I get to it. Thank you for your patience

  • Unable to get my tabs back after power outage and "restore previous session" doesn't show up.

    Well, I've spent most of my day trying to figure out how to fix this. My power unexpectedly went out overnight and I left my computer on. When I woke up, i saw that the computer was off. So I started my computer, but when I went to get onto Firefox, none of my windows and tabs were there. (and I did have a ton of tabs open.) There wasn't even a "Restore Previous Session" icon to press on the Firefox homepage or a "Well, this is embarrassing" window. I tried opening "sessionstore.js" and "sessionstore.bak", but then a window came up titled "Windows Script Host" and said "Microsoft JScript Compilation Error." Then all there is to do is press "Ok". (By the way, at another time today when I tried opening a .js file, it said "Windows can't open this file" and it wanted me to choose the program I wanted to use to open the file, or use the internet to find a program. I chose Notepad, but then it was just a bunch of letters, words and symbols.)
    I've also tried entering "about:sessionrestore" to get my windows and tabs back and then it says "Well, this is embarrassing." and "Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs." And there are no windows and tabs showing up below that sentence, with check marks, like it is when session restore has worked for me in the past. The only thing that worries me is that I did restart my computer between when I first started it this morning and now, when I'm writing this. I wanted to see if the "Restore Previous Session" icon would bring up my missing windows and tabs from before. But all it brought up automatically were the current windows and tabs that I have open right now. So now I'm wondering if I've permanently lost those tons of tabs that I had open before the power went out.
    The other thing is that when I first got onto Firefox today, I could see all of my history from the days, weeks, and months past. Now I can only see today's history. I know I pressed something when I was trying to fix things but I don't remember what I pressed. Maybe that changed whether or not I could see the previous months' history. I did try "places.sqlite", "places.sqlite-shm" and "places.sqlite-wal" to restore my history, but again it said "Windows can't open this file" and it wanted me to choose a program to open the file. So again I chose Notepad, and it was just a bunch of letters, numbers, and symbols.
    Hopefully someone may have an answer for me. Thanks!

    Yes I can understand you being confused there is an awful lot of information you need to take in and learn as you encounter such a situation. I will try to expand my explanation to cover the points you ask.
    ''right click the file and select "restore previous versions", right?''
    That is correct when using Windows to try to recover for instance files where the working fie is corrupted, but a previous version worked
    If you have no previous versions available from Windows you need to work on whatever you do have. With any file restore operation it is always a good idea to make copies of not only the originals but also the restored files.
    If you restored the ''places.sqlite'' with Windows that could possibly have resulted in a copy overwriting your working file that is even worse than the original file.
    When you restore a file using the Windows OS it restores the files in their ordinary working location and they should function as expected without needing to do anything else. Generally it is probably best to try such restores when the files are not in use and in this instance that means when Firefox is closed.
    For the benefit of any other readers of this thread note : <br />The places.sqlite is in the Firefox profile and easiest to find before closing down Firefox as the ''troubleshooting information page'' (''about:support'') may be used to find it.
    * [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile]]_how-do-i-find-my-profile
    The ''places.sqlite'' database is the only file Firefox itself has with the full ''History'' information in it. The database also contains bookmarks but Firefox should have some other backups of those. If the database is deleted Firefox will restore the database but all it can do is add back bookmarks information from its backups the History is lost.
    There is almost no chance of getting the History back unless there is another copy of that database. Either one Windows is able to recreate, or one that was somehow created by another method, that normally being the user deliberately making a manual backup of your profile or places file in advance. Or maybe having in place other backup procedures.
    '' am I supposed to double-click the file?''
    That is not going to help in these circumstances. There are advanced methods of studying the files but right clicking does not help in this instance.
    Open tabs information is stored in the series of files ''sessionstore.*'' It may take rather a lot of messing about to to get any useful information out of whatever files you have. It would normally probably be a lot quicker just going back to the sites concerned, but that is made more difficult if you have overwritten the History database so you may need to try if the tabs were important to you. I can give more details in another post if you need to try that
    We could have a lot more luck with your bookmarks. Did you bookmark most of the sites concerned ? If so then at least you have a good chance of finding the sites again.
    Have you already got a fairly complete listing of your bookmarks in the Firefox bookmarks library/menu ? If you need to try to get back lost bookmarks that existed in the last few days but not are not present right now make a backup copy
    *Of the profile folder called '''''bookmarkbackups''''' ( With its contents ! )
    * ''places.sqlite'' Remember whenever attempting restoring bookmarks always backup the database file ''places.sqlite'' first.

  • Unable to get Zero Phase shift after filtering PWM

    Hi,
    After filtering the PWM signal i'm not getting the exact shape of Sine wave, i'm using the Zerophaseshiftfilter.vi in the blockdiagram.I've also attached the resulting waveforms that i'm getting. Anybody help me out.
    Thanks

    sayaf,
    Thanks for including the image -- it's a big help. Now I'm not the greatest expert at filtering, but to my eye you're getting a pretty reasonable approximation. I don't know how much better you can get when you only have about 8 PWM cycles for defining a half-cycle of the sine wave you want to see. At least, it looks pretty good if you have to handle a very general case of modulation.
    Can the modulation always be considered a pure sine wave with a constant frequency throughout your sampling time? If so, then you can use that knowledge to your advantage -- for example, pass a few cycles of your filtered signal into one of the tone-extraction vi's that ship with LabVIEW. I'm sure there are other good (probably better) methods as well.

  • Can't get Firfox to launch after download, how can I get back to old system

    was happy with system 3+, notice came for upgrade to four, downloaded, replaced old system, hit button to launch, keeps telling me Firefox cannot be launch because it not supported on this system

    Leonard,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Like Mike said, repairing permissions after an upgrade
    is recommended.
    Also, where are you launching Safari from?
    The Dock?
    or from the Safari icon within the Applications Folder?
    If from the Dock, try the icon in your Applications folder.

  • ITunes won't launch after copied from old computer

    I copied my iTunes folder from my old computer to an external hard drive. I then copied that folder to a new laptop. My iTunes folder is showing two additional folders - iTunes and iTunes media (has all my downloads listed). However, iTunes won't open at all - I don't even get an error message. Any ideas?

    Get rid of Norton's, it's far more trouble than it's worth. This is exactly the kind of thing that happens when you run Disk Doctor or the other parts of the suite, and is why they got out of the Utilities market for the Mac.
    1. Try repair Permissions with Disk Utility
    2. Try Trash the com.apple.iTunes.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder
    3. Try Re-install iTunes. Move the app from the Applications Folder to the Trash, then go to HD / Library / Receipts and trash any pkg file there with iTunes in the name.
    Regards
