I dragged some Word files to iClouds Pages beta hoping to edit them but they won't open.

Probably a simple answer but I am stumped.

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • How can I get a word count in iCloud Pages Beta?

    Apparently there is no way to get a document word count in iCloud Pages Beta.  Has anyone figured out a work around for this?

    View menu > Show Word Count.
    A floating panel will appear at the bottom of your document. Pass your mouse over the right-side of this floating panel and you will see up/down arrows. Click. Choose Word count from the list of available counts. The floating panel now displays word count, until you change it again. You can also move this floating panel with a command+click+drag, in case you want it below your footer content.
    You might want to download the free WordService service solution from the OS X App Store. I provides you with many additional features (e.g. Sort Ascending, Document Statistics, etc.) The act of downloading this application will install, but not activate several services. You activate what you want in:
    System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services : WordService:servicename.
    The WordService application will be in your LaunchPad (on your left Dock). Run it and choose Help. This will launch the Preview PDF viewer and a document showing all the Services available, and their description. Services in OS X act on selected document content. If you want more detail on the number of words, characters, and spaces in a selected paragraph, you would use Pages > Services > WordService:Statistics.

  • Cannot attach with the attachment  button in mail. Can drag them in directly.  But they won't open.  or are corrupted

    At some point, Apple started doing this annoying stupid thing with certain app updates (among them QuickTime Player, and iTunes, and Mail) where if those apps do not reside in /Applications they will not be updated properly.
    Correct. It has always been that way in OS X. Applications, particularly from Apple, belong in the Applications Folder, where update installers can find them and link to associated system files that may be updated as well without you realising it.

    Do you mean the Get Add-ons tab on the about:addons (Firefox > Add-ons) page?
    If that page isn't working then you can visit the Mozilla Ad-ons site directly.

  • How do I avoid importing MS Word file duplicates in Pages for Ipad 2?

    How do I avoid importing MS Word file duplicates in Pages for Ipad 2?

    Hi Cabrinii,
    The sign on the door is a bit misleading, and you're not the first (or even the first in the last hour or so) to come to this Pages (Mac version) forum to ask a question about Pages for iOS.
    Not many of us use iPad, so your question will be better served in the iWork for iOS community. The link will take you there.

  • I've just bought a new mac and I want to transfer the content from my old Macbook to my new. If I have iCloud enabled on both devices, is this simple, or is there a limit to what I can transfer? For example, can I upload word files to iCloud?

    I've just bought a new mac and I want to transfer the content from my old Macbook to my new. If I have iCloud enabled on both devices, is this simple, or is there a limit to what I can transfer? For example, can I upload word files to iCloud?

    iCloud is not the way to do this. You should use Migration Assistant - with this you can transfer your complete User folder from the old Mac including preferences and logins. You will need to connect the two with FireWire or USB depending on the models.
    Ideally you should do this before you set up the new Mac - if you create a user account with the same name than the Migration will have to give the migrated user folder a different name. When you first switch on the new Mac it should ask you if you want to transfer your data, and give you instructions.

    You want to just use Dropbox until the dust settles.  To use it from iWork for iOS (assuming you have the Dropbox app installed on your device), open the document in Keynote (for example), tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), choose Open in Another App, choose Keynote as your format, then choose Open in Dropbox and you will get an option to save it to your Dropbox account.  To open it from Dropbox in iWork for iOS, open the document in the Dropbox app, tap the share icon, tap Open in Keynote (for example).  It's a bit clunky, but works. 

  • On iPad can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages app?

    On iPad, can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages application?  If so how do I perform this activity?

    Yes you can open Word files. If it is an email attachment you can simply tap and hold down on the icon and select "open in" and then select Pages - as long as you have the Pages app on the iPad.
    Where is the file on your iPad or how do you want to move it to the iPad?

  • Why can't I open some of my documents on Pages even though I created them all on the same IPad with the same Pages ap?

    Why can't I open some of my documents on Pages even though I created them all on the same IPad with the same Pages ap?

    I think I know the problem because I've had it myself. I didn't upgrade iWorks on my iPad, but after Apple made changes to iCloud (concurrent with Mavericks) any docs passing through it were modified and made unreadable. Even though, as you say, they were created on my iPad using the previous version of iOS Pages, which I didn't upgrade.
    iCloud is the culprit, if your iPad settings had iCloud>Documents & Data enabled, the docs were modified and disabled in the cloud.
    I made a further mistake. After I saw this happening, I didn't think to turn off auto updates, and Apple pushed the new version of iOS Pages onto my iPad. The result was that ALL my docs disappeared from the iPad, and from iCloud.com also. I have not been able to recover them.
    I've been talking to the Pages engineering team about it. If they come up with an answer, I'll post it here. Meanwhile, get those older files backed up somewhere safe if you can.

  • I created a file yesterday in Pages version 5.1. Today when I went to open the file a box popped up saying that I needed a newer version pf Pages to open the file. Any thoughts??

    I created a file yesterday in Pages Version 5.1. Today I went back to open that file and a box popped up saying I need a newer version of Pages to open that file. Any thoughts??

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 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 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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 almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • How to change indentation iCloud Pages Beta?

    It is really annoying, I can move that grayed out indentation thing on my iPad in Pages, but when I'm on iCloud Pages Beta on the PC at my school (which updates to the most recent version of Chrome or Safari or Firefox whenever it is available), the button is not available.
    Does anyone know if there is a workaround, or is this just Apple being Apple?
    The help article for this question is: http://help.apple.com/pages/icloud/1/#/gil56d107ce4 - but this is worthless help article, it doesn't help me at all and even the IT person who administrates the computer lab could not help me. Anyone who can help will be really really really appreciated.

    And in case anyone wants to know, this is not just because I was using a PC….
    Anyone know how to fix this, if it can be fixed??

    Hey Jean Wood,
    Please let me know whether you are using Adobe Reader or signed up at https://cloud.acrobat.com/.
    Also, try converting any other PDF file to word and check what happens.
    Have you downloaded the file first onto your computer?
    Hope to hear from you.

    It is possible the versions you have are not compatible with your new Mac. Could you please tell us the following:
    1. What OS are you running.
    To get this info, click on the Apple on the top left, then select About This Mac. The OS X version is there.
    2. What are the versions of the apps that are giving you problems?
    To get this info, double click on the hard drive icon and open the Applications folder. Select an application and right click on it. Then select Get Info. The version number is there.
    Version number:
    Not sure I understand your reference to Flip Player - this is not related to the "won't open" problem, is it?
