I can not open my documents I made last week - I get a message that I need to upgrade and I have the latest download?!

pages is not letting me open my documents I made last week. I get a message that I need to update my software. I am up to date.
What to do?

It sounds like 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 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.
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.
Note: 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.

  • Updated pages today but when I try to open a document I created I get a message saying you need new version, but i have the new version! So frustrating - HELP!

    Updated Pages today - created a document. Went back few hours later to send it as email attachment - got a message saying Pages needs to be updated to open. Went to Mac app page and it said it was updated. Document won't open - what do I do???? Keeps saying to upgrade but it is upgraded - ARGH!

    Here is a possible solution.
    You should still have Pages 4.3, the old version, on your computer in Applications>iWork09. If you have the old Pages 4.3 running when you open the file, Pages 4.3 will warn you that you need to update because the new Pages uses a different file format. You can open the file in two ways.
    Quit Pages 4.3, then open the file.
    Right-click the file and choose to open the file in Pages 5.0.
    I hope this helps.

  • I upgraded all of my iWork apps and now I can't open some of my old files.  I get a message that says I need a newer version.  Same for all three iWork apps.

    I've checked all of the version numbers, and the latest versions are installed but most of my old files can't be read.  Tried restarting, etc, but nothing works.

    Gary,
    Thanks.  After posting that problem, I discovered that my upgrade of iWork did not replace my old versions, and some of my links started up the old versions.  When I looked at version numbers, I saw the new ones.  My links now go to the new versions and all seems to be OK.

  • I can not open pdf documents

    If I want to open a pdf document I get the following error-message:
    "Error during page elaboration. A problem occurred during reading this document (109)"
    I have Adobe Reader V8. I removed the version 8 and installed version 7, but I still can not open the document.

    I can not open .pdf documents unless I save them first.  But sometimes I can't download the file first - I get an error message that says that my version of Adobe can't open a .pdf in a web browser...

  • I downloaded the recent Pages update but now I can not open some documents done last year.  I get an error saying that I need to download a newer version of Pages.  I am running version 4.3

    I downloaded the recent Pages update but now I can not open some documents done in the past year.  I get an error saying that I need to download a newer version of Pages.  I am running version 4.3.  Do I have to purchase an update of Pages?

    You are not on Mountain Lion anymore, right? You are on Mavericks and have downloaded Pages 5 and then created docuemnts in it which can't be opened in Pages 09.
    No, you don't have to buy a newer Pages but you have to be particular about which version you use.

  • Solution manager can not open pdf documents

    What is the reason Solution manager (we have still 3.2) can not open pdf documents (under project documentation).
    Thank you in advance

    Solution Manager is the SERVER, it can't open PDF documents; most likely your PC can't open them.

  • I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens, but I get the error next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions?

    I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens. LR closes on it's own, I reopen it and get that same message next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions? If I click on a different set of photos in the libary before I get that message I might or might not get the message next time it oipens, but I still can not get to those photos, and it is not just one or two but most of my photos. HELP!!!!
    Thanks

    The first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.

  • I was at Apple Store yesterday and they created a pages document for me.  When I got home and tried to open it, I get a message that I need a newer version of Pages.  I see the image when I before I push "open".  The 'kind' is pages publication.

    Just be careful with Pages 5, it is not strictly an upgrade.
    Apple has actually removed over 90 features and some work can be very difficult in the newer version.
    It was all done to make it more interchangeable with the inferior iOS version:
