I cannot open my documents in the latest version of pages
I just updated and downloaded the latest update to pages. I tried to open my documents in the documents folder and it tells me I need the latest version to open the document ! When I click on the app store it tells me it is already installed. I am very annoyed and frustrated Maybe I should return to Windows !!!!
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 90 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.

Hi, hope someone can help me.
I created a music file in my current version of Garageband (2.0.2) but when I try to open the file I am told that I must get the current version of Garageband ?!
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening ?!
Thanks.
PaulWhat have you done, directly before this problem happened? Have you installed any other software, upgraded software, restored your system from a backup?
The error message can occur, if you have two versions of GarageBand, and now your Dock icon links to the wrong version of the program. Search your Mac for other versions of GarageBand. If you find another installation, check if the version is newer, then use that to open your file.
Another reason may be, that your current GarageBand Application is corrupted. To check that, try to launch GarageBand from a different User account - if you do not have one, create a new account from the System Preferences > Users and Groups panel (this panel might have been called something else in 10.4.11, sorry, I am using 10.8.2 now).
If GarageBand also does not launch from this account, reinstall GarageBand from your installation Media and upgrade - a link to the upgrade is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL454

I cannot open a document from an earlier version of pages.
Hope someone has a helpful solution for me. I am trying to access my resume that I did in an earlier version of Pages. I tried to open it today and saw an error saying that the document could not be opened. I have tried researching this and basically have no solution. I need my resume and don't know what to do. Has anyone else figured out a solution other than blowing up their computer?
SharonCopy/paste from TextEdit works. The use of Pages v5 has created more problems than user solutions. Make certain you export to Word format as a backup. Pages v5.5.1 will make a huge 500Kb Word document. You will need to open and save it out from either MS Word, or the free LibreOffice to reduce it down to small double-digits in size.
Sharon, there is a Yosemite community under the general category of MacOS & System Software. Post your Yosemite questions there, and you should get competent answers to your questions. Responders to your question(s) will want to know the year and make of your Mac, how much memory is installed, and if you upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks, or an older OS X installation. The Apple > About this Mac can provide useful info. Be as concise as you can while still conveying the issue you want resolved. If you are running anti-virus software, state that as it is a known performance and stability decrement for OS X.
Yosemite is now one revision beyond the base release. Each new iteration of updates to Yosemite will fix bugs, attend to some usability issues, and improve performance. I am running Yosemite on a 2014 MacBook Air with 4GB of memory. It has been flawless — if not overly art-deco for my taste. -
I recently upgraded to a new Macbook Air running Lion, from my 2007 white Macbook running Snow Leopard. I had Office for Mac 2004 on the 2007, but had to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 to be compatible with Lion on the Air. Now when I try to open my documents on the Air that were saved under Office 2004 on the old computer, I get the following message: Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).
Any suggestions? Thank you.Ha,ha,ha.....I figured it out. But for anyone else who's having this problem, it seems that while Office 2004 allowed dates in this format: 00/00/00, Office 2011 doesn't like it at all. I just changed the format in the document names to 00-00-00 and all is well. Documents are opening beautifully!

In the latest version of Pages (5.0) I cannot find the refresh button to update a chart copied from Numbers (also latest version 3.0). I saved my Numbers document before copying to Pages. Can anyone help?
I think you identified my mistake. I confused tables-charts-graphs. I was wanting a "table" of cells (numbers) to be added to the Pages document. Is there no way to do that and keep the tables linked between Numbers09 and Pages09?
An example would be a Numbers spreadsheet calculating a number (say, a product price) and that number (data) be linked to a product information text in Pages.
I just recently saw the Merge function in Pages, but have not yet learned how that works. I don't use Pages much at all but it would come in handy for creating to information sheets about products --- with the product pricing being updated from a Numbers spreadsheet.
If you have any hints on how that can be done or where I can find info on that I would appreciate it.
Thanks for catching my misunderstanding.

Downloading and saving documents using the latest version of Firefox is problematic.
I am having bad experiences in downloading documents using the latest version of Firefox. When one downloads one is offered the option of opening or saving the document. When you select save it does not give you the option of saving it to a folder on your hard drive. You need to open it anyway in order to save it to a desired location. If you simply hit save its only saved to a temporary or downloads folder - and these can never be found again once you close the doc. Last night I lost many hours of work on a document in this way. It would be great if this could be sorted because I enjoy using Firefox. But I have now lost several documents inadvertantly and there is extra work in saving items - which is beginning to be quite a drag. Kind regards, Howard Varney. .
You are indeed up to date. Firefox stopped using that address as its default start page when 4.0 came out - the page you're using may be (wrongly) assuming that if you're looking at it, you must still be on Firefox 3.6.
If you [[How to set the home page#w_restore-the-default-home-page|restore the default home page]] you should get more up-to-date information. -

Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open? Is this a common issue?
Hi Madhattanite,
Welcome to the Support Communities! When did you purchase your Mac? The first thing I would suggest is to review the information in the resource below for the Up-To-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
Once Yosemite is installed, you should have the option to Accept the Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps in the Mac App Store Purchases pane.
Apple - Up-to-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote
I hope this helps ...

How to open older version of iPhoto from an external drive. It won't let me open or upgrade to the latest version?
With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what fixes have you tried?
how is the EHD where the library is located formatted?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

How come I cannot update my iTunes to the latest version?
How come I cannot update my iTunes to the latest version?
Whenever I click the setup icon, nothing happens.
Or when I click "Check for updates" in iTunes, nothing happens too.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong? And what should I do?Many thanks.
It seems unlikely that McAfee is causing the damage here. But it may be interpreting the installer damage as indicating an unsafe package. (The damage is causing the file to not be properly digitally signed.)
Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file. -

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please expand on things....

What version are you seeking to upgrade to?
How are you trying to upgrade?
What are the exact results of your attempts? Are there error messages?
Please remember the we can't see you nor your device, and so need your complete description so as to understand your situation and hopefully then provide you with useful advice.

Has the latest version of Pages lost graphic design features?
Since downloading the latest version of Pages on my Mac, I have become rather frustrated with the lack of design/layout capabilities.
The previous version of Pages gave the option of design and word processing. Now, if I wish to design on a blank page, my graphics are
limited, the text wrap is a pain, and I don't feel that there's the freedom I once had to manipulate graphics and text together.
Has anyone else experienced this frustration? Is there a tutorial that I can watch to bring me up to date?I do most of my work on my Mac, but occasionally would use an iPad to show someone a document. I no longer open any important documents with my iPad because once I do, the document is converted to the new file format for Pages 5.0 and the file is messed up. For example, linked text boxes are no longer linked. Even if I then export the file back to Pages 09, the text boxes are no longer link-able. The little link buttons are gone from the text box. The only way to get the link feature back is by inserting a new text box and then copying and pasting to the new box. Frustrating to say the least!

I cant believe this little comment has been so helpful!
But yes it is:
I explain, despite my efforts to find, googled it, forums, faqs, etc...
no where it mentionned the manifest.fm file is... INSIDE the .jar!
Your comment "a zip" made me attempt to open it with winrar, and I found a manifest.fm file inside!
So far I was editing the one at the "source" of my project and rebuilding it with netbeans.
I am going to try that now.
Actually.... :( no its mentionning my main class!

Oh and I felt on your comment "dont ask us" as if I was suppose to know... i'm a beginner, I did not know that! And I tried to give you so many infos so you dont lose your time if you want to help, especially as after my own research I found many, many results for this "main class" and I tried a few solutions!

Hi,
Does anyone know how how to add extra pages to template documents in the new version of Pages which carry over the same formatting, borders, styles etc? In iWorks09, all styles, borders etc just used to carry over to the next page. In the new Pages, this doesn't seem to happen. Unless I'm missing something.
Any help would be appreciated.Everything is a matter of degree! (Speaking for myself).
Review and rate Pages 5 in the App Store and if you are interested check out all the changes here:
