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:

  • Sometimes Apple sends emails to me in Dutch.  My language is English.  An Apple employee told me my initiating profile shows Dutch.  He did not know how to change it.  How do I?

    Apple sends emails to me in Dutch to one of my email addresses.  My language is English.  An Apple employee told me my initiating profile shows Dutch.  He did not know how to change it. How do I? 
    (Note:  When I bought my first Apple product, I used a Shaw email address.  This year I changed my primary email address to a gmail one.  The gmail one is apparently on my Apple profile.  Nonetheless, the Dutch messages go to my Shaw email address.)
    Thanks!

    Hi, ruthrr.
    This sounds like your language preference is set to Dutch on your Apple ID.  I would go to My Apple ID, Manage Your Apple ID and change the language and contact preferences. 
    Cheers,

  • I successfully transferred my itunes to another PC, when I click on most (not all) songs, it tells me to authorize the computer, I authorize it, it says this computer is already authorized, but when i click on a song, it tells me to authorize again. help

    I successfully transferred my itunes to another PC, when I click on most (not all) songs, it tells me to authorize the computer, I authorize it, it says this computer is already authorized, but when i click on a song, it tells me to authorize again. help

    Are the songs authorised to the same account? 
    Often people change their e-mail address over time, and also decide to set up new iTunes account names using that e-mail.  You can (and should) continue to use an old e-mail address as your account name.  Then you don't run into the issue of having different songs authorised to different accounts.
    To check the authorised account for the song, click "Get info" on the song name in iTunes.  It will show the account name in the Summary panel.
    If you have set up multiple accounts, log into each one, and burn the songs to CD as audio tracks (i.e. like a normal CD, not a data CD).  You can then re-import the files into iTunes without the authorisation embedded into the song.

  • My question is why does firefox close when I click another window off? I have a new window come up so I have two, but when I click one off it closes all of them.

    I usually have more than one tabs up and ready when I'm searching the web. But when I look at my mail or when a new window is opened if I click the "X" all of my windows are closed. What could be the problem?

    This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.
    '''https://support.mozilla.org/questions/997866''' {web link}
    From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
    issue may be caused by the clear history settings. It was suppose
    to have been fixed in v30.
    Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
    Followed by;
    Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
    Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
    Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
    Then '''Privacy'''.
    The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
    At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
    At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
    '''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.

  • I downloaded the numbers app but when I click on the icon it won't open on my iMac.

    I downloaded the numbers app on my imac and it completed the download, but now when I click on the Icon it wont open.  What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks for the help.

    What a mess !
    The app delivered for iOS can't run under OSX on a mac.
    The app delivered for OSX on a mac can't run under iOS on iPhone or iPad.
    They are different products.
    I repeat that to run Numbers on you iMac you must buy Numbers for OSX delivered on Mac App Store or, if you are running an old operating system (older than 10.6.6) you may download the iWork's 30 days free trial version, install it, update it as iWork 9.0.4 and buy a registration code thru Apple Store.

  • Trying to upgrade from snow leopard to lion. Father already purchased Lion online a few months ago but did not use upgrade (did not know cmp was already running on lion). How can I use his upgrade on my computer without having to buy another Lion upgrade?

    Hi,
    Basically my computer is running on Snow Leopard. My father bought the Lion upgrade to install on his computer, however, it ended up being that his newly purchased lap top already came running with Lion -- thus, he never ended up using the Lion upgrade he purchased. Now, I would like to use the Lion upgrade he purchased but did not use to upgrade my computer to Snow Leopard. The information he gave me for this was the Web Order Number, Part Number, and Content Code for the Lion upgrade. How do I redeem/use his upgrade to update my computer to Lion without having to purchase another copy of the Lion software from the App store? Is that possible?
    Thank you so much!!!

    Unless he controls your machine (same household), you can't. At $30 USD, pop for your own copy.

  • TS4036 I received a message this morning to download new software on my IPhone. I did so but all my contacts were lost! I did not know I was supposed to have backed them up on ICloud

    I downloaded the new apple software and it lost all of my contacts! I am a senior citizen and didn't know I was supposed to download everything to ICloud. Can someone help me restore all of my phone numbers? Oddly, the recently used numbers are there. I called apple support and they couldn't help. How can it not be safe to download an apple update on an apple IPhone?

    You shouldn't have lost them but soz your gunna have to add em again

  • D/l firefox 3.6 went fine but when I click on the icon it won't load

    I followed the directions to d/l firefox and it installed on my computer (vista) It would not load or let me get on the internet. It does nothing. I un-installed it, rebooted and tried again and the same thing happen. Is there a setting I have to change? I had fire fox before and no problem at all.

    If you are not able to find an 'unsubscribe' option, you can always sumbit a request to iTunes Support, as they are the ones who handle your account. They will respond to you via email to follow up until the issue is resolved. I have included a link to this form below.

  • What do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet

    what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

    My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
    You may need to go back and start over.  Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

  • I want to attach a document to send, but when I click "attach' it is blocked. How to get rid of it?

    I want to attach a document to send to the receiver, but when I click the "attach". it appears a sign "block". How can I do to get rid of it?

    The store language detection is totally broken.
    The Swiss store is only available in German and French - English, my system language, won't do. However, in all those years I've never seen an option to choose between German/French, iPhoto always just assumed one.
    In my case it picks French (instead of German) eventhough the preferred language in the Apple-ID account is German. Also, in "System Preferences -> Language&Text -> Language" German is listed below English but above French on purpose. Furthermore, in "Language&Text -> Formats -> Region" I picked "Switzerland (German)".
    I've yet to figure out how Apple picks the effective store. If it doesn't look in either of those three places it's seriously broken anyhow...
