I used automator to rename some pages files, and now they can't be opened

I used automator to remove some text from the filenames of a group of pages files, and now they can't be opened. What went wrong?

Did you by any chance remove the file type extension?

  • Last time I updated pages I lost features I liked and was unable to open some pages files.  Now I see the features I liked are back but I have a lot more files to worry about.  Will I be able to open files created in 5.2 if I upgrade to 5.5.3?

    Within reason, Pages v5.2 documents are forwards compatible with Pages v5.5.3. Apple introduced the single file format document as a default with Pages v5.5.3 which is not backwards compatible with Pages v5 on Mavericks.
    However, they also provided a File > Advanced > Change File Type > {Single File, Package} menu that allows you to change the current Pages v5.5.3 document into the backwards compatible Package type document. You would follow this transformation with a File > Save operation to complete it.

    Before the reset quit Pages like this:
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.

  • I published a website using iWeb.  I began using iWeb to create a second site and now I can't find my original site's work on my Mac.

    I published a website using iWeb.  I began using iWeb to create a second site and now I can't find my original site's work on my Mac.

    If you're publishing directly from iWeb 3 to your FTP server then you'll have the following in your accounts root directory:
    Site 1 folder
    Site 2 folder
    Site 3 folder
    index.html file from last published site directling to the last published site.
    If you want to keep Site 1 as the primary site you'll need to publish it one more time to the server so you get it's index.html file uploaded.
    Now you'll have to publish Sites 2 and 3 to a folder on the hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck, YummyLite or Transmit  to upload only the site folder (and not its external index.html file with it).
    The url to sites 2 and 3 will be:
    http://doman_name.com/Site 2
    http://doman_name.com/Site 3

  • Memory is supposedly Full, deleted some files, and now I can't open Itunes.

    I have a Macbook Pro but I don't play any games, I've never downloaded movies, but I do download music approx. 16GB and pictures...though not sure how to see how much memory these take up. Recently I've had trouble because my computer keeps notifying me that there is no space on the startup disk...which I can't understand why because I don't really have many files or programs on my computer. I've been deleting old files or things I don't really use and now my Itunes won't open saying there's an error (13014). So I have several questions, what is the best way to make space on the "startup disk" whatever that means, and how can I fix the error that's preventing me from accessing itunes? I have a feeling that my pictures might be taking up a lot of the space, how do I know when a single picture is too large and how could I condense them? Also when the memory gets full, my Microsoft Word starts acting all funky, is it because of the full memory? Thanks for your time:)

    Just as a matter of info you have posted in the MacBook Pro (Late 2008 and 2009) > Using your MacBook Pro (Late 2008 and 2009) forums. Not that your issue matters matters so much where it's posted but in the future you would want to post where users have similar hardware as you do, MacBook Pro (Original)

    In any case as F Shippey suggests you may have directory issues. If Disk Utility cannot repair the directory then you may need a stronger disk utility like DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory.

  • Mountain Lion iMovie I deleted files and now I can't log in at all

    I was editing a movie in iMac, but when I went to finalize the project, it told me I didn't have enough memory. I checked and re-checked and I could not find what was using it up. My movie/photos etc totaled a litte over 100 gigs out of 1 TB. I downloaded a couple of programs to see what was taking up the space but finally found out that 719 gigs was being used by a huge file called "bands." I deleted the file and now when I try to log in I am told that file vault cannot log me in at this time. I have been trying for two days to log in. I was connected to Lacie 6TB but upon disconnecting the size of the file did not decrease.
    Am I screwed? Are there any solutions? Apple refuses to even acknowledge my mail, so I assume this is a problem they don't want to hear about. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using OSX Mountain Lion.

  • I moved the project files and now I can't get them back into iMovie 11

    I was working on a project but I ran out of disk space before I could finish it. Now, for this very purpose, I have an external hard drive with plenty of space on it. So I tried moving the folder with all my project files onto the external hd, and now iMovie can't find my project anymore. With iMovie '06 it was as simple as hitting "save as" and saving the project to the external hd, but I guess that's not complicated enough for the new version. Now I can't get into my project. I even try clicking on the actual project file, and it goes to iMovie as if the project was about to open, but nothing happens. So I fear I wasted a lot of time working on that project only to have to start all over because I ran out of disk space.
    Someone please tell me there's a way to get the project files open again. Thanks

    that is a simple one and should be a routine after purchasing a new drive (in a Mac-only environment!):
    • on your Mac, Apps/Utilities you'll find Disk 'Utility'
    • on the left lane, you'll notice your connected hard drive(s)
    • select it, click on the 'erase' tab
    • NOTE: FORMATTING A DRIVE MEANS ERASING ALL CONTENT ON THAT DRIVE!
    that's why you should do it as step#1 after purchasing a new drive

  • A renter used my Apple TV to access Netflix, and now I can't log him out.  Besides calling the renter to ask him to fix this, how do I fix this?

    A renter used my Apple TV to access his Netflix movies, and now I can't log him out.  Besides calling the renter to ask him to fix this using his Netflix.com account, how do I fix this?

    There is no option in Apple TV to log out of Netflix.  The internet tells me to go to netflix.com to "Disconnect from All Devices".  I can't because I'm unable to log in to a renter's Netflix account.
    Why is there no option to log out when using Apple TV?  I can't ask my next renter to reset my Apple TV each time.

  • I saved my document as only .doc but not as a pages file and now I cannot edit anything and half the document looks incredibly screwed up, how did this happen?

    I forgot to save the pages file, I do back up on time machine could a temporary file be in there somewhere? It was a 30+ page custom designed presentatiion that took me two weeks. i cannot believe I only saved it as PDF and .doc! My current theory is that I can only edit the document in pages as a pages file since that is what I had been doing. Please help if anyone has had this problem before or know how I can recover that screen I was working with a few days ago before I saved as a Word doc!!

    Despite what Apple and its employees say Pages is not a 100% replacement for Word.
    Pages files exported to .doc will have minor to major differences.
    You should always have a Pages version. Exporting is only so non Mac and non Pages users may read it, and even there you should use .pdf to keep its appearance as close as possible to the original.
    It sounds like you used a lot of Pages' features which turned out to not have Word equivalents.

  • I erringly deleted some files and now I can't share my photo

    I don't know what I did. I was trying to organize my desktop and I guess I must have deleted some wrong files (DMG?) and now I cannot Send my picture to people (it just comes up blank) and I can't post my pic on public sites. I tried using Iphoto and sending pics to my desktop but same problem. Please help, thanks.

    Will someone please take a moment and answer this question?
    I think I deleted something in iphoto that was needed to post/send pictures in their entirety. How to I make my pictures whole again? How do I fix this problem. Thankyou!

  • Lr Misplaces Edited files and now I can't locate them...

    I have this problem a lot. Lr "misplaces" my files and I can't get them back without getting them one by one. It seems ridiculous to me. Now I'm against a deadline (of course) and can't reach anyone. Can anyone out there help me locate my EDITED files? Even Lr can't locate the edited files and I haven't deleted them from my computer. I'm so frustrated. Thanks.

    Thanks, Jim. Not sure why the insults started coming into play. I was
    asking for help. Simply. Not to be insulted, degraded, put down. Just
    helped. You have been helpful. Thank you. I was formally trained in Ps
    years ago, pre- digital age. I came to Lr 2.5 years ago. It's a great
    program and I use it mostly unless I need some of my preferred more
    detailed features of Ps. I sat down and watched the essential videos from
    Adobe. It's just a filing glitch on my part. I just needed help. However,
    after this overall experience, I will be hard pressed to seek out help from
    the Adobe Forums. I hope people will be kinder and patient with others in
    the future.
    I was not trying to put you down, degrade or insult you.
    The help you are looking for is because you don't understand how LR works. LR doesn't SAVE files anywhere. You can Export files from it and when you do that it asks you, allows you, to select where those exported files will be placed. It also includes those exported file in the catalog no matter where you exported them to, IE which drive connected to your system in some way.
    The edits you do in LR are only for LR until you export images. Then those edits are combined with the original file during the export and placed wherever you select.
    I asked some fairly simple questions.
    1) Are you importing images from a camera directly or a card reader.
    2) Are you importing to only one catalog or are you making multiple catalogs.
    In the years I've used LR, since version 1 (and like Jim I didn't care for it at the start) I have never had to Re-import any images I have made adjustments to and either exported as a jpg, tiff or dng or sent to Photoshop as a tiff to make further edits. They all show in the catalog, they all get saved to the original folder I placed the original in when I copied them to my hard drive. Even if I chose to place them in a different folder on a different drive they would still be included in my catalog.
    Sorry if I offended you.
    Best of luck. I'm out of here.

  • Somehow I got my website page enlarged and now I can't reduce it, please help

    I have no idea what I did. the mouse started to enlarge the page way more than it should and now the page is stuck at enlarged and when I scroll it down small, it's still way bigger than it should be. I know it's simple but I don't know what to do to fix it. Other pages are fine....only the one I was on when it happened.

    If you use the keyboard shortcut Control+0 (zero) it should reset the page zoom.
    Alternatively press either Alt or F10 to display the menus, then in the View menu select Zoom, and then select Reset.

  • I deleted some backup folders and now i can't turn on backup

  • I have windows 7 and have been using Firefox for the last several months and now I can' open it up for some reason.

    I've been using firefox as my principle browser for quite some time. I normally just click on it once and it opens to the home page with google search in the middle of the page. I downloaded some e-mail attachment about a job and that's when it seemed to act up. I ran a scan on my computer and it says there is no problems but I still can't open up Firefox home page by clicking on the fox/world icon.

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
