I cannot open a document in Pages 5.1?

I have been trying to open a pages document and it's simply juts confusing to know what's wrong with the documents.

How come you can not find the following which I have posted hundreds of times:
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 95 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 cannot open my document in pages 5.0.1 that I created in same. Computer tells me that I need to have a later version of pages. What do I do?

You're running an older version of Pages, perhaps in a folder called "iWork '09" in the Applications folder, or else on your Desktop. Quit it and launch the one at the top level of Applications.

Cannot edit, now cannot open a document in Pages 5.2

I have Pages version 5.2, running on Mavericks. I have been working on a second edition of my book. (First edition was done using an earlier version of Pages, either '09 or the next one thereafter in 2011.) Pages has been regularly updated on an ongoing basis. I have been successfully editing the document on and off for the past several months, until this morning. I got to the last page of the document, and it was oddly locked, as in I could not put my cursor anywhere to edit the content found there. After several attempts, decided to close the document and try to reopen it again. Except that pages wouldn't open if I tried to open the document, kept failing before it even started. The document seems corrupted as even preview won't open it.
If I try to open Pages now it says "the last time you had Pages with windows open, do you want to re-open those windows". If I say yes, it crashes instantly. If I say no, Pages can open. However, and this is the BIG problem, I cannot open my book document, we are talking about a 70,000 page book, with thousands of words of new edits. I have an external backup but not of the changes I have done in the last week.
Any help anyone can offer to recover the document will be extremely appreciated as this is nothing short of a "catastrophe" for me right now.

There was no Pages 2011, there were successive updates to Pages '09 the latest being to v4.3.
I hope this scare has been a warning to you.
If you have the latest Pages 5.2 installed, unopenable files will remain so and the content can not be accessed by any other software due to the obscure file package Apple has used.
You could have by passed the crash by holding down the shift key so that Pages didn't automatically reopen the damaged file.
You are lucky you have a healthy copy on iCloud. Because iCloud synchs files, it could so easily have synched a bad copy. I strongly advise you to create your own backups, personally I don't trust Time Machine, on separate drives. Also use a more reliable and secure software than Pages. One that lets you access the content of files should they go pear shaped, e.g. LibreOffice (free).

Can't open word documents in Pages since updating to Yosemite

Since updating my software to Yosemite I cannot open word documents in pages anymore. I can open these word documents in preview to at least look at them, but this is not very helpful.
Also, is anyone else experiencing a serious slow down. My Macbook is choking, and I wonder if there is anything that can be done to improve the speed.
Thanks in advance for any insight/ support you can offer!

Be sure you are saving your Word documents on the PC for a Word version supported by Office 2004 X. The latest version of Office for the PC uses a file format that is no longer compatible with older versions of Office.
PC attachments have icons that do not carry any information that Mac applications use to determine what application opens a document. Drag the document from the email application to the Desktop. Select the icon and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the section labeled 'Open with' select Word from the drop down menu, then click on the Change All button. This should associate all similar documents to the Word application on the Mac. Word documents on the Mac also use the '.doc' extension. If the transferred file does not have the '.doc' extension then it doesn't hurt to add one.

I close the textedit programme , open Pages, click on the 09 pages file to be opened and the message "The document "7-09 receipts" could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the "Pages document"

I close the textedit programme , open Pages, click on the 09 pages file to be opened and the message "The document “7-09 receipts” could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the “Pages document”
What's this??? How do I open the pages doc??? Kalavati

You have obviously not done what you think you have done.
You have tried to open a .pages document in TextEdit which can't read them.
If you are confused which program you are in look to the top left of the menu.
You can either drag the .pages file onto the Pages icon on the Dock, open it from within Pages' Open dialog, double click on it or right mouse click > open with.

Just updated Pages to version 5.1 on App Store but Pages doesn't show that it's updated and cannot open a document

I just updated the software in Pages to 5.1 on my iMac OS (Mavericks) but the Pages Application is giving me an error saying that I cannot open a document recently updated until I perform a software update!
When I am in Pages and to go About Pages it still shows Pages 4.3 (1098)

You have 2 Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.1 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong one.

I have Pages 4.3 on my macbook and cannot open cloud documents without going to Pages 5; App store says it is already installed and I can't upgrade. Suggestions please.

Have you looked in th Application folder for Page 5?

I had Microsoft Office installed in my Macbook Air by one of the technicians in the store, it was working fine the first week but after that it started popping a notice saying it cannot verify my suscription online and now I cannot open any documents?

I just bought a Macbook Air almost a month now. When I bought it, the technician installed Microsoft Office 365 as they were having a promotion at the time. However after a week of using it, it started popping up a notice saying that it cannot verify Microsoft Office. I still managed to open the word document but as of today, it will not open. I took it to the Mac store last week, and they said that there was nothing wrong with it and they could not figure out any problem.
I don't know what to do and I am in desperate need of help. I cannot open my documents at all and I have my research paper that I need to finish writing. This is very disappointing and extremely stressful for me. If anyone has any suggestions of how this can be fixed, please let me know. I do not want to lose my hard work =(

Microsoft Office 365 is a subscription - based service. You have to pay for it... and keep paying for it... and paying for it... as in 365 days a year... or lose your hard work.
Office Home Premium is a mere $10 a month, but a convenient annual subscription is only $100 a year. This is a substantial discount to Microsoft's Office 365 business products ($150 / employee / year).
Such a deal! Are you not absolutely thrilled?
Here are some slightly more reasonable alternatives, all of which are compatible with their Office equivalents:
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free if you can find it)
OpenOffice (completely free)
Numbers ($19.99)
Pages ($19.99)

Cannot open PDF document in IE8

On a computer with Windows XP, IE8 and Reader XI (11.0.3) we cannot open a document within Internet Explorer. The "add-on" exists in the "run without confirmation" however it will not open the document. I did note that in trying to open the "PDF of Reader XI Help" it did download the document, and listed the size of the document but it would not open it.
Thank You Pat G

Hi, T.
When you import a PDF into Photoshop to get some images placed inside the PDF, there's no need to rasterize the file. This is because the feature is a bit hidden in the dialogue screen of "import PDF". Look in the upper part of the dialogue and you'll see "Select: page". Go into that drop down and select instead "image" (the exact wording may vary as my PS is a Spanish one).
Then, you'll be offered all the image boxes inside the PDF. They'll be imported "as is", no resampling or rasterizing needed.
Hope it helps

Will Lion open Appleworks documents with Pages or Numbers as Snow Leopard does?

Will Lion open Appleworks documents with Pages or Numbers like Snow Leopard does? Or do I have to convert all my Appleworks files before installing Lion?

Functionality of Pages and Numbers has little to do with whether it's runnong on Snow Leopard or Lion. Either way, if they open an AppleWorks document in SL, they'll open it in Lion. Of course, you have to understand that certain file types - particularly, AppleWorks databases - cannot be opened with anything other than AppleWorks, so you'll need to convert them with AppleWorks before upgrading to Lion.

After updating photoshop CS5 to 12.0.4 x32 (windows) I cannot open my documents/files or create new

I had the problem before. Reinstalled Photoshop CS5 and updated again.
Clicking a file starts Photoshop but does not open the file.
If I click "new" to make a new file, nothing happens.
Help....!!!!!!

Hi PE
Yes, but nothing happened.
I was instructed to press some key during startup of Photoshop, and it should reset the program.
However, it did not work.

This is the error you are getting when you are opening the published content on web. This is a bug, but you can use the below fix.
Open the publish/web/index_edge.js and remove the "use strict"; statement at the beginning.
This will fix the problem. We will address this issue in the next release.

After updating on my mac - I cannot open various password protected pages - like my WordPress site. I can open them from Safari and from Firefox on my windows pc.

after updating firefox , it won't allow input of password on various sites - like my wordpress admin page. I can access this page from safari and from firefox on my windows pc.

I cannot open password protected WordPress pages using Firefox. They open using IE
If I remove the password protection the page opens correctly in FF.
I have cleared the FF cache and cookies several times, No change
I have modified the wp-pass.php file several suggested ways related to the referrer and nothing solves the issue.
I tried:
wp_safe_redirect(wp_get_referer());
to
wp_safe_redirect(wp_get_referer() . '?');
NO GOOD
I tried:<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki>$location = wp_get_referer();
if ( $location == '' )
$location = './';
wp_redirect($location, $status = 302);
</nowiki></pre>
NO GOOD
I have upgraded WordPress to 3.3.1. Still NO GOOD
I have deactivated, and also removed all plug-ins. Still NO GOOD.
Anyone have any ideas?
Why just an FF issue?
IE no problems

Without the iPad connected, open up iTunes on your computer. Go to iTunes/Preferences/Devices and delete the backups that you're absolutely certain do not have the documents. Refer to figure below.
iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "NO" to creating a backup. (You don't want to create a new backup that does not have the docs.) You will then be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad. This time, say "yes."
Repeat all of the above as required until you get the docs.
