I can't open a corrupted Pages document

I get "cant open this document' for just one of my Pages document. The longest and most important! It wont email out either. I am using an original iPad. yes they are still around. Any help really welcome. Mike

The truth? That's it, I've exhausted the possibilities.
Simply don't use Pages 5.
I don't enjoy all the hand holding and crying on shoulders of the users frustrated with all the lost features and ultimately lost work.
I've said it before and will say it again Pages 5 is an unannounced beta, and still is at v5.2.2.
If Apple had any regard for its users and their valuable work it would have built in real compatibility with prior versions and the mainstream MsOffice world and released this when it actually worked.
If you have an older Mac, surely you also used earlier versions of iWork which should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • Can't open a new Pages document - spinning beachball of death.

    I have an early 2008 imac, running mavericks.
    I can open an existing document in Pages, but if I try to open a new document, I get the spinning beachball of death.
    I deleted and reload Pages, also reloaded Mavericks. it didn't help.

  • Problem with Pages.  I have recently been unable to open Pages, or any documents from Pages on my iMac.  Pages seems to be in the Cloud and can open a list of the documents in Pages, but can't open any of those documents.

    Recently unable to open Pages or any documents therein.  It seems to be stuck in the Cloud.  Although I can open a list of the documents I can not open any of the documents. 

    The answer is simple...  If you want to remedy this, then don't save them as PDFs.
    Word opens Word and text documents.  Not PDFs.
    Also note that this forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Microsoft Office or your question in any way. If you have issues or questions about Office, it's probably best you post Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products.

  • Pages 5.0--I can't open more than one document at a time.

    Pages 5--I can't open more than 1 document/file.  I can look up files in iCloud/computer, click to open, but the file never opens in Pages 5.  I have to quit Pages, reopen to get another document (but still cannot open more than that first doc).  I still have Pages 4.3, and I can open multiple documents.  Is this a bug, or is there some funky routine I have to go through?

  • I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
    The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
    That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
    SO...
    When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
    Many Thanks!

  • My word perfect documents have been changed to .doc but I can't open them in pages. ugh!

    my word perfect documents have been changed to .doc but I can't open them in pages. ugh!
    they are wpd files from around 2001-2003 that my Dad emailed me and on a PC was easy to simply relabel as .doc but despite this I cannot open in pages or convert to pages.
    Please can you help me?
    cheers!
    DT

    In fairness to Pages, only apps that can handle Word Perfect docs of that vintage can open them, either.  W
    As Viking said, changing the extension does nothing to the file structure & metadata of the document.  At one time Mac people didn't bother with the extensions, because they were simply a visible indicator of the app that made them, and the Mac would get that information from the file itself.
    Since you changed the extensions, some Windows apps may still use those extensions to tell them the file source. When they try to open a .wpd file as if it were a .doc file, they will get very confused.
    You can try to open the files by using the Menu> Open command, with the setting of "all files."  IF and only if the app can handle .wpd files, then maybe it will open it & ignore the extension.

  • Sorry! Something went wrong - I can't open my icloud pages file anymore

    I can't open my icloud pages file anymore. We are two collaborators working on it and she told me the file was freezing. I have said she can reload the file but it didn't work. Then it was my turn. I have tried from desktop but also from Ipad. The Pages app now crash when I want to open this same file. When I load my icloud page, I see the file, it is here, with the last layout, but can't open. I need to recover that document, it's important to me. Is there any assistance @apple to do so?
    Many thanks!

    I have exactly the same issue !! On "Pages", "Numbers", "Keynote"

  • How can i open and edit microsoft documents in macbook pro

    how can i open and edit microsoft documents in macbook pro with retina display? I am a new user to mac book

    You could install Office for Mac. You could install a free Office-like program such as LibreOffice. You could open the documents with a program like Pages. Or you could install Windows and Office on your Macbook Pro.

  • Can't open file "/Library/WebServer/Documents/index.html.en."

    Can’t open file “/Library/WebServer/Documents/index.html.en.”

    You will never be able to open this file with iWeb, because, as it states it is a User/Sites/index.html file and iWeb cannot open this files - anything with html on the end of it is already published and iWeb cannot open this. It is not the same as your domain file.
    Go to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and try opening your domain file, rather than something that is already published. iWeb cannot import - at least not published pages.

  • How can I open a new page (using "Pages") when I already have another page open?  It just keeps reverting to the page I have opened already and won't let me open another one?

    How can I open a new page (using "Pages") when I already have another page open?  It just keeps reverting to the page I have opened already and won't let me open another one?

    To make a new document, go to File > New From Template chooser and choose the type of document you wish to create.
    To add a new page to an existing document go to Insert > Sections > Blank.

  • HT4283 Can I open and use pages on a Microsoft PC

    Can I open and use pages on a Microsoft PC or open word.docx on pages or iPad

    Pages is available for MAC OSX and iOS, it doesn't run on windows at all. You can, however, use the iCloud version from within your browser (www.icloud.com, assuming you have set up an iCloud account).
    Pages will open an MS word document, but converts it to Pages format. It can be reconverted to Word upon export, but some functionality may be lost (going either way).

  • How can i open microsoft office word documents on my ipad 4 and edit it.

    How can i open microsoft office word documents on my ipad 4 and edit it. How to transfer my scaned documents on it

    There are a number of apps that are compatible with Office documents. Apple makes iOS versions of their own iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) that are available free if you purchase a new iOS device and that can be purchased separately for older devices. There are also 3rd party combined suites that cost less than the separate Apple apps. Ones often recommended include Documents 2 Go,  Quickoffice and Office2 HD.
    If you can accept needing a network connection whenever you want to use the apps and have an Office 365 subscription, Microsoft has just released their Office Mobile app, though it has significant limitations. Or a server-based solution such as CloudOn might be an option for you.
    Regards.

  • Can not open any web page in Safari

    can not open any web page in Safari on the IPad.  All other wireless features work fine.

    If this does not work then try a reset ,
    Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad  will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • Can i use iCloud for pages documents iMac?

    can i use iCloud for pages documents iMac?

    Hi lmdavis72,
    It looks like you can.
    From "iCloud: Documents in the Cloud overview"
    You can download a document from icloud.com/iwork to your Mac or Windows computer, edit it, and then drag the revised version to icloud.com/iwork. It’s then automatically updated on all of your iOS devices. You can also drag an iWork ’09 (Keynote, Pages, and Numbers) or Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Word, and Excel) document created on your computer to icloud.com/iwork.
    So it looks like it can go between iOS devices and your iMac.
