I'm trying to export a pages document to word, on a mac and keep getting "unknown error occurred" anyone else seen this

Have created a document in Pages and am trying to export to Word, when I do this I get the message "an unknown error occurred" anyone got a solution to this?

This is an old thread, so you have probably given up, but the problem is relatively easily solved.  The issue is apparently bad or corrup, or missing fonts. 
You can try to chase that down, but it is faster to simply try deleting half the document and exporting again.  If that works, restore the deltion and delete half of that section. Keep doing this systematically until you have located the part of the document causing the problem.  Often it is something pasted in from another document. 
You can then export most of the document and then copy and paste the remaining bits over into Word.
This works with Keynote, too, where often the issue is just one slide.
Good luck!

    I am trying to log into itunes and everything I get this message, what do I do?

    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.

  • TS1436 I keep getting unknown error occured(4450) when trying to burn a CD...running Windows Vista, any help would be appreciated

    I keep getting unknown error occured(4450) when trying to burn a CD, running Windows Vista...any help would be apprciated.

    I had this issue to when trying to burn discs recently. I went into the CD creation settings in iTunes and I "unchecked" the option to "Include CD Text" and after I did that, the disc I had been trying to burn several times with error, actually burned without fail. Give that a try and see what happens.

  • When trying to export a pages document to Word, I get  an "unknown error occured" message. Can anyone help?

    Can anyone help with my problem. I have one document that just can't seem to be exported to Word. It doesn't have any special formatting. A footer with page numbers is the only special thing. Anyone have any ideas? I've tested other docs, and they seem to export fine, just this one document. There is nothing special to this document either. i've imported the original from Word, modified it as pages, then tried to export it again. Nothing. i've also copied and pasted the whole doc into a new sheet, and tried to save it again as word, nothing again. I'm running out of things to do on this

    It probably have something that is corrupt. Sometimes one has to try to export to another format (if it can be done) like .rtf and the open in Pages again. Or copy and paste to a textEdit document, save it and open it in Pages. Last resort is to recreate the document.

  • When trying to install iOS 7.0.6 on my iPhone 4 it comes up with "ERROR". Anyone else having this issue?

  • I keep getting "Unknown error occurred 21" while trying to restore

    My iphone 4 will not turn on after being dropped. It wants to restore, I can connect to itunes and it detects my phone but at the end of the process after a minute of itunes saying "preparing iphone for restore" the phone goes back to the apple screen, disconnects from itunes and the error message pops up. Phone goes back to the itunes "plug in" screen. I have tried everything suggested on here, even had the battery removed and replaced because I saw on here that helped some people. I could pay for a new battery but if that doesn't work I have wasted my money. Any ideas?

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • When trying to export a pages document, it say error while printing....

    When trying to export a pages document, it says 'error while printing' when I want to save as PDF. I used to be able to do it but for some random reason it won't let me anymore. Even when the printer is not plugged in or turned on it says it. Is there a setting I can change? Does anyone know how to fix as i can't email any documents and I don't know what else to do. Please help its driving me crazy.....

    thank you, I can't print or save any old pages documents. I will create a new one and see if that helps. I have tried from the print dialog but it says the same thing. I will try something in another application. Could it have been when I updated pages? I only recently got broadband so did a heap of updates that were a bit overdue.

  • I exported a pages document to word, but was not able to edit the new word document.

    i exported a pages document to word, but was not able to edit the new word document.

    I have a OSX IMAC Version 10.8.5.  I got pages at the same time I purchased this computer.  I use a document to write all my passwords. Seems like when I E-mail myself the document from pages, I have not been able to type in the document, it acts like it is locked. I checked all the "lock" and "unlock" fields, and none of them were locked.  I notice the document says PDF.  How do I correct this?  Seems like I've tried everything.  If you can help, that would be great!
