I have a 16 page document which I was told someone else was working on. Not possible! How do I get permission to open it ?

I am compiling my Ancestry and today I was told I couldn't open it. The reason I was given is written above. I am the only one with my history who has the access to work on my family history. I then tried to get a copy made and WORD told me it was unobtainable. I have the file on my desktop,and all I have to do usualy, is click on it. Please can someone help me here as there are hours of work gone into compiling the document since 2008?

  • Pages somehow vanished off my computer. When trying to open a Pages document it says, "no default application" Any ideas where it went and how can I get it back?

    The Pages program seems to have vanished off my computer. I can't open any of my Pages documents. It says " no default application" I've tried to search ffor it and there's nothing. Is there an advanced search I could try or some other thing I can do to find it? Thanks for any help.

    Hi msmuffy,
    You can re-download it from the App Store: Open the App Store and make sure you are signed on with the Apple ID you used to purchase Pages originally. Click on the Purchases tab at the top of the screen. You should see Pages listed. If it says "Download" next to it, then you can re-download it. If it says "Installed" it means that it is somewhere on the Mac, so go to the Finder and do a Search from there.

  • I don't have libraries. It says the link was deleted for library. How do I get it back

    library for lexmark productivity no media library

    If you re-format it you will lose all the data on it!!!!! So make sure you have backed up the drive or moved all the data on it to another external HD or the internal HD on your iMac.
    Below is an Apple Advice letter that explains how to format an external HD, it's written for Aperture but you can use the instructions to formate any external HD.

    I followed some advice I saw posted somewhere, as follows:
    1) Delete everything that is inside of Library/Caches and also ~Library/Caches; i.e., the one is accessed through "Macintosh HD:Library:Caches" and the other, ~Library:Caches folder is accessed by going to the Finder's  "Go" menu and holding down the Option key. Delete everything inside each of these Caches folders.
    2) Restart the machine and hold down all 4 keys of Command + Option + P + R while starting up, until you hear two bell chimes. After the 2nd bell chime you can let go. This resets the parameter something or other.
    Open up Keynote and open yoru file. Should work. Worked for me.

    I'm not exactly sure what you are seeing and what is happening, but try closing the App Store app, and then reset the iPad. See if that takes you out of that screen and allows you to navigate freely again.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the App Store app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Adding Pages Document which includes a table to Iweb.

    Hello All,
    Im creating a website on Iweb and would like to add a "pages document" which includes a table to it. Doesnt seem to be all that easy?
    Would appreciate any help.
    Thank you.

    Don't confuse the Operating System (yosemite) with the version of Pages.
    It sounds like you have Pages 5.5.3.
    It only works in Pages '09, like 100+ other features only work in Pages '09 and previous.

  • I have read the manual, but as I can see there is nowhere where it tells me how to put my Pages document in iCloud storage, could someone tell me?iDocbackup

    I have read the manual, but as I can see there is nowhere where it tells me how to put my Pages document in iCloud storage, could someone tell me?

    Here is some information on how to get a document from your iDevice to iCloud (which means you need to have the iOS version of Pages installed on your iPad or iPhone:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/documents/
    And here is a slew of other help articles:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&src=support_site.psp.more&locale=e n_US&q=Documents%20in%20the%20Cloud
    And, icloud is not really "storage" - it is meant to "push" a document you create on one iDevice to another.
    FWIW, I assume you are on Lion? Please change your profile - it still shows 10.5.8...

  • I created a Pages document inserting 2 columns using 1) Inspector 2) Layout 3) columns.  How do I decrease the height of the column.  Have tried to use cursor and drag down the top border, but that does not reset the top border.

    I created a Pages document inserting 2 columns using 1) Inspector 2) Layout 3) columns.  How do I decrease the height of the column.  Have tried to use the cursor and drag down the top border, but that does not reset/decrease the top border.

    Set your columns back to one for the moment. In layout mode, insert a Text box. Place it in the upper left corner of your document, and drag down and right to the size of the container for your two columns. Click inside the Text Box, and now bump up your columns to 2. Your two columns are now contained in this resizable Text Box.

  • Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x? If not, what is the alternative? Concrete issue is that I have received a .pages document and need to edit. Many thanks

    Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x?
    If not, what is the alternative?
    Concrete issue is that I have received a ".pages" document and need to edit. I am running Mac Pro with OS X 10.7.
    Many thanks

    It is important that you determine if the .pages document originated from Pages ’08, Pages ’09, Pages v1.7.2 (IOS 6), or was exported as Pages ’09 from Pages v5+ on OS X Mavericks. If it meets one of these criteria, then you can edit the .pages document on your Lion machine with Pages ’09 from the iWork ’09 DVD. Pages documents can not be opened with TextEdit, but can be viewed with Preview.
    On the otherhand, if the .pages document was created with Pages for iCloud beta, Pages v2.2.1 (IOS 7), or Pages v5+ on Mavericks, then your only recourse is to edit the document with Pages for iCloud beta. Since Fall 2013, Apple changed the .pages document format into something even more malevolently proprietary. Apple word processing products since this timeframe, are subsets of the Pages ’09 features/functionality, and will filter out content they do not support.
    A Pages ’09 document is usually a compressed (zip) folder archive that looks like a regular file to the Finder. The newer Pages family of products only write out a package that to the Finder, also appears to be a regular file, but in reality it is a folder. The newer Pages documents must be zipped before placed on non-Apple filesystems.

  • Can I get back a pages document which I closed before saving?

    can I get back a pages document which I closed before saving?

    The answer is no, even if you're using OS X Lion. (You don't mention what version of OS X or Pages you use.)
    OS X Lion and Pages 4.1 autosave documents, even unsaved documents. But if you close an unsaved document, click the Don't Save button, then this document no longer exists.
    Earlier versions of OS X and Pages do not autosave documents. So closing an unsaved document effectively deletes it.

    Hi dip_kinu,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what device you are trying to set up and what is happening when you try to do so. If you are having issues remembering your Apple ID, or feel like you may have set up multiple Apple ID's, you may find the following page helpful:

  • I recently downloaded the iTunes 11.0.5 for Mac OS X and the iTunes store comes up as a blank page. I have already tried re-downloading iTunes and that didn't work... How can I get it to work?

    I recently downloaded the iTunes 11.0.5 for Mac OS X and the iTunes store comes up as a blank page. I have already tried re-downloading iTunes and that didn't work... How can I get it to work?

    I was able to fix mine. I went to software update and updated a few things. I did not update everything, but only what I thought were the essentials, which I believe was Safari, a security update, and a firmware update.
    Then I deleted and reinstalled Itunes yet another time. Now the itunes store is back up again.

    have a subscription to The Telegraph which I purchased before changing my email and apple ID.  How can I get iTunes to change it to current ID

    Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
    Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

  • I want to send a normal pages document as a attachment to someone (non Mac PC). How do I convert the file so they can open it? Silly question but I'm new to Mac.

    I want to send a normal pages document as a attachment to someone (non Mac PC). How do I convert the file so they can open it? Silly question but I'm new to Mac.

    A Pages (.pages) document is only viewable with Apple's Pages application on the Mac, or via Pages for iCloud beta. You should export it to either MS Word (.doc/x) or PDF. The Share menu will let you do this directly into a Mail attachment.
