I can't open pages

If I open Pages there comes a notification what says that I need to intsal Pages again.
But hee is the problem, I don't know how I'm supposted to do it because I don't have a CD with iLife.
I got it with my iMac. So how can I get Pages back to work?
The same for Keynote and Numbers
Thanks
Levi

In other words you did migrate your system.
iWorks does need to have everything installed where it is supposed to be, with a lot going into System Libraries.
If it is not working now the migration did not work and you will need to reinstall.

If you don't have the installer with the serial number then you will have to uninstall what you have and buy the Mac App store version. which will let you install on as many Macs as you like using the same Apple I.D.

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

I can't open Pages app on iMac

Hi all, I can't open Pages app on my computer. These are the specs:
iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB, 2/3 of a TB free storage capacity,
Yosemite version 10.10.2
Originally I had iWork 09 and since I've been updating from the app store since they are available in there. Now version 5.5.2
I wanted to create a new document and explore the templates available for it but when I click the icon of the Pages app or the name in the Finder apps list, it won't open, instead it opens another window for me to choose what I want to open -see pic below-, and as you can see from the light gray color I can't choose the app from there.
I open the app store to see if I needed to update it and it is already done. So I don't know what to do... Can anybody help please? Thanks

If one clicks that extreme left icon, the Favorites panel disappears, leaving the Application view we see posted. Additionally, the OP has the
Finder Preferences ▸ Advanced ▸ All My Files checked, instead of their login directory (house icon).
This just adds to the mayhem. Once Finder Preferences is fixed, then the OP can click Applications, and from that lengthy menu, select their login directory, or Documents.
Why the OP did not just click New Document and review the bundled templates, is a question mark. Or click Launchpad in the Dock, to launch Pages.

Can't open Pages after upgrading to snow leopard on 10.6.8

Has Spotlight finished its indexing? Check in the upper right. If you get just the search field, it has, if it says its indexing, you have to wait before you can use anything.

Can't open Pages Documents

I've upgraded all my iWork documents and now I can't open things in Pages. I'm stuck on an endless loop of "You need to be using the most updated version .... which you can get in the app store.... blah blah blah" I'm suing the most up-to-date versioin. I'm using Pages 4.3 and the document I'm trying to open was created using the most updated version. HELP.
Thanks
Carrie

You have both versions of Pages on your Mac and are simply opening the wrong document in the wrong version.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages ;'09 can not open Pages 5 documents and Pages 5 will alter/damage older Pages '09 files and not open any other.
Pages 5 is very much a downgrade missing over 90+ features.
Best to go back to using Pages '09:

I cannot open pages; I am told I can't open pages while updating. I did not know I was updating. I cannot open a new pages document. My menu list is ok, but when I click on a document it won't open. Can you help?

I cannot open pages. The message says, can't open pages while being updated. I did not knowingly update anything.
The program is stuck in this mode. can you help?

Your copy of Pages may have gotten stuck when downloading. This article explains how to fix a stuck Mavericks download; the same procedure should help with any application:

HT1750 Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old. To open it, save it with Pages 09 first still can't open pages document

I recently purchased a new Mac and I am having difficulty opening older Pages documents.
Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old. To open it, save it with Pages 09 first still can't open pages document

Either you have access to Pages ’08 v3, Pages ’09 v4, or neither. One of these older, but more functional versions of Pages can open, and export the document in question to Word. Preview on OS X 10.9.5 and Yosemite can view Pages ’08 documents (in my experience). It is not obvious to me that Preview may be using the installed Pages ’09 v4.3 to assist in opening these '08 documents.
Once opened in Preview, you can select/paste text into Pages v5.2.2, or v5.5. If you want the images from the PDF, then export it from Preview as PDF, and then drag/drop onto latest free LibreOffice icon in the Dock, which will open the PDF for editing. Select, copy, and paste the images into Pages v5, or incorporate into Text boxes, or Shapes. When pasted, images will be in their original size/resolution, not necessarily as small as they appear in the PDF.
If the second paragraph is a chore, then follow Peggy's advice above on the sources for purchase of Pages ’09.
In the future, I would not recommend trusting document architecture to Apple, and use a more accessible format (.doc/x) for better cross-platform access, longevity, and application choice. You may find LibreOffice, or Office for Mac 2011 a better choice for features.

HT4157 My iPad. Oonnects to other wifi it used to connect to my work wifi but it will. Not connect now what is work I am connected with my iPhone but iPad will. Not connect or it says safari can not open page

I can connect my iPhone to my work wifi but when I try to connect my IPad it will not connect. It says safari can not open page. What's up with that I have used IPad connected to work wifi before

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Can't Open Pages

Can't open pages or keynote or numbers.
There is a question mark over all of the applications on the dock, and they don't show up in my applications folder in finder. I tried finding them in the spotlight and they didn't show up there either. I tried updating the software and got this message:
An eligible Keynote application was not found in the location /Applications/iWork '09.
Pages won't let me open any documents that I have done in pages. Please help because I use pages and other iwork applications for everything in school.
Stephanie

I don't know which one it is because he never told me, when I got my computer back I noticed iwork was on my computer and it has always worked just fine until like two days ago when it wouldn't open a pages document that I had been working on earlier that day. He never gave me any information about it so I don't have a serial number and I don't have a dvd. I can't access a serial number if there is one because basically I guess iwork doesn't exist on my computer right now. I'm sorry if this isn't helpful but that is all I know.

Can't open pages. Does anyone have an answer?

I can't open pages...
I recently updated to OS X Lion. Does it have something to do w/that.

Some programs need a reinstal after update to Lion. Did you repair the permissions? Try following: create a new user account, switch to it, and try to start Pages. Does it open here?

I am getting Safari can not open page. Server stopped responding. I have tried several things with no luck. Anyone know what to try?

I am getting message Safari can not open page. Server stopped responding. I have tried several suggestions but they have not worked.

This is on an iPad, correct? Are you sure you have a network connection? Is your iPad Wifi or Wifi & 3G? I know these might seem like dumb questions, but we've got to narrow it down to get a solution. If you're absolutely positive you have an active network connection we can move on to other things.

Iphone 4 error message while in wifi "safari can not open page because server stopped responding" after iOS6 update

I am currently using my Iphone 4 in wifi networks only after canceling my cell phone plan. Over the weekend I did the IOS6 update on the iphone as well as updated my macbooks itunes and OS X operating systems updates that were available. Since that my iphone's safara app won't connect. After it trys to connect for a minute or 2 I recieve the message: "safari can not open page because server stopped responding". However ALL other apps that require the phone to be connected to wifi for use work properly, i.e app store, imessage, pinger, facebook, etc. I have checked all network setting and they looked right to me. Anything I'm missing, ideas to try, or am I sol (lol)? Safari worked perfectly before the update so I thought I might have done something wrong or forgot to change some type of setting.
Thank you!

If you can access Facebook while on Wifi at home, but you are unable to access it while away running on your carrier's 2G network, I could phone your carrier. You have already completed the Cellular Data troubleshooting for the iPhone, so any limitations keeping your from connecting to Facebook over cellular will have to be answered by your carrier.

I've got macbook pro 10.5.8. Suddenly I can't open Pages. "system error 1409"appeared. What to do?

I can't open Pages on macbookpro 10.5.8. First it said "system error 409" then "file can't be found". What to do?

1. Are you sure you are using OSX 10.5.8 and not 10.6.8?
2. Have you searched for Pages using Spotlight (the magnifying glass up on the right of your menubar?
3. What version of Pages are you using:
Menu > Pages > About Pages
4. What have you changed?

Yosemity safari https can´t open page

When our users with Yosemity installed try to connect to the internal site https://privat.alecta.se in Safari, they get a timeout and "Can´t open page" message. If the refresh the page they get connected to the site. It works on other operating systems such as Maverick, Windows regardless of browser.

Hi Dan
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Usually "can't find the server" means the DNS codes supplied by your Internet Provider are somewhat lacking (Firefox has its own Network mechanism, so the two are not comparable). The alternative is to add DNS codes from other sources. Here's how to do it in Leopard:
To add the codes, go to System Preferences>Network. Click on your internet connection - either Ethernet or Airport, then "advanced". In the DNS panel enter on separate lines the following OpenDNS codes: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Select "OK", then "apply".
In the Network panel, if Ethernet or Airport (whichever you use) is not at the top of the list, click on the "gear icon" at the left bottom. Select "set service order". When the help box opens drag your connection type to the top of the list. Select "apply" when complete.
Restart Safari.
