I created a document in Pages 5.2, emailed it to someone, who emailed it back with changes, but I cannot open it now. Why?

I created a document in Pages 5.2.  I emailed this document to a friend through gmail in Safari.  My friend made changes and emailed it back to me.  When I click to download the document, Pages tells me it cannot open it.  I have created 4 documents like this and each one has had the same problem when emailed back to me.  Why?

If you are also using Pages, but version 5.2, then I'm not sure how they read it if they are using 4.3. But for the two of you not to have problems you need to use the same version of Pages because as OS X has changed from Lion to Mountain Lion to Mavericks to Yosemite Apple has changed the version of Pages, but each version of Pages is not fully downward compatible.
If they cannot upgrade OS X in order to use the Yosemite version of Pages that you use, then you should use Word documents. They should be able to Import/Read a Word document as well as Save or Export in Word format. Of course, they could just start using Office for OS X 2011 which would make things better all around.

  • I am using Pages 4.3. I created a Document using Pages 4.3 that is 280 MB (it is 350 pages long). Will I be able to open it in Pages 5.0?

    Hi,
    WARNING
    it´s impossible (for me) to open Pages 5 documents in Pages 4, which is absolutely no go. You can open any f..... word.doc but no pages 4.
    Apple is getting worser every day, it´s a shame. There is no information about this before you buy it.
    So now you have to ask your friends or colleagues to convert a pages 5 document to a word document, so you can open it with pages 4. Hoiw ridiculous is that?
    Pages 5 is a joke. In 5.0 they forgot to manage the task-bar, which came shortly after 4 weeks or so in 5.1.
    The only good: you can run ist parallelly to pages 4.3 but it´s not worth the money.

  • I create a document in pages and then export it as doc or docx file. I then email or place the file in a drop box. When another computer opens the doc or docx the photos in the document are randomly scattered. What is the solution?

    I create a document in pages with photos. I then save it and I also export it as a doc or docx file. I then email or place in a drop box the doc or docx file. The other computer opens the file in Microsoft word and the text remains in place but the photos are randomly scattered throughout the document. What is going wrong? How do I correct this problem? I really don't want to go back to a Microsoft machine.

    That assumes two things:
    1. That Apple would have let Microsoft have access to its file format.
    2. That Microsoft would want to spend the time and trouble to write filters for file formats that Apple can't be bothered doing for its own software.

    Mark,
    Pages documents can only be opened on a Mac, or on an iOS device. If you want your Wndows computer-using friends to be able to see your work created in Pages you must Export your Pages document to either PDF or Word format.

  • I just burned to disc an album of photos I created in Pages but I cannot open the file on the disc because "the format is not valid".  What does this mean and how do I correct it ?

  • I cannot share a document in Pages anymore via email.  Help?

    I cannot share a document in Pages anymore via email. Do I need to update IWork?
    I have OX Yosemite  Version 10.2.

    In Yosemite, Pages '09 v4.3 has dropped functionality for the Share menu ▸ Send via Mail. You will need to export to disk, and then drag/drop into Mail.
    You should be running Pages v5.5.2 (current) on Yosemite. Otherwise, update from the App Store. Whether from the Share menu, or the Toolbar Share icon, I have not experienced Send a Copy ▸ Mail failing to export and attach documents to Mail.

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Help please

    I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?

    In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible.  To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files  Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an applicaiton.
    Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate

    If you had iCloud backup turned on, and it made a backup - yes.  If you didn't have iCloud backup turned on - but were using iCloud for Contacts, calendars, etc.  You will get the contacts and calendars, etc back.
    Purchases made with your appleID can be redownloaded as long as they are still available in the iTunes store.
    If you connected your phone to a computer with iTunes, there may be a backup on there as well.

  • I have a wifi connection but "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet" I have reset everything; I have used Itunes to update and reset. Still no good. It worked until 2 days ago

    I have a wifi connection but "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet" I have reset everything; I have used Itunes to update and reset. Still no good. It worked until 2 days ago

    Reset everything.. did you do this?
    Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings
    If you're already been there, done that, could be a third party app preventing Safari from accessing the web.
    Re sync your apps 5 at a time, then test the iPad.

  • I have created some movies using After Effects but can't open them now because I get the following message:

    I have created some movies using After Effects but can't open them now because I get the following message:
    Ray-tracing on the GPU requires an approved NVIDIA graphics card and CUDA 5.0 or later. For now, ray-tracing will use the GPU.
    After installing CUDA 5.0 or later, restart your computer.
    For more information see: http//www.adobe.com/go/aeraytracedgpu
    HELP. I have a project that needs to be delivered.

    The alert message is just telling you that a specific feature won't use the GPU. This message is innocuous. It only means that the processing of one specific, obsolete feature will use the CPU, not the GPU.
    Are you saying that After Effects won't start or open your project?

  • TS1398 My Ipad email seems to be locked.  E-mails keep coming in but I cannot open or delete them.  I am stuck on the e-mail page so now cannot do anything.  Any suggestion?  Eve

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I created a document in Pages on my ipad and now it won't open up. How can I fix this?

    I created a document on my Ipad and when I finished it, I closed Pages. When I went to re-open Pages and see the document it wouldn't open. I click on the document and it shows the processing symbol but then the entire program closes. All of the other documents within pages open up fine, just not this one. Any help?

    Try resetting your iPad.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for 7 or 8 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    I'm assuming your default is to save Pages documents to iCloud, and that you had a good WiFi connection when you closed Pages the last time you tried to save the document.

  • I created a document in pages and had it saved and then exported to send to someone to edit in in Word and ow it is in Word format.. i need to revert it back to my Pages format. help??

    I created a document in a template on pages.. and i saved it.. then I exported it to a Word document to send to someone to edit for me.. i have never done that before i usually use a PDF..and it changed it and won't go back! HELP!

    Again: What version of Pages are you talking about?
    Menu > Pages > About Pages
    Again: Have you tried to open the Word .docx in Pages?
    Pages doesn't save to Word it Exports to Word .doc so there should be a .pages copy on your Mac.
