Something is wrong then.   I assume any other book you download to iBooks opens at the beginning, right?
Have you made any other books you can test?  Try just exporting one of the templates if not.
It's the .ibooks file that goes on the iPad, the .iba file stays on your Mac.

  • My iba files don't open with new ibook author

    I downloaded the new ibook author and my iba files won't open.  How do I open them?

  • Make Word files default to open in Pages?

    Can you set certain extensions, specifically .doc files to automatically open in Pages when double clicked? How is this done to skip any "open with" command or dragging it to the icon?

    Swami,
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    You can easily set .doc files to open in Pages, and it's surprisingly easy: just go to the Finder, single-click on any .doc file, the type command-I (Get Info). Click on the Open With... menu and select Pages (or navigate to Pages if it's not in the menu. To make all .doc files open in Pages, click on the Change All button.

  • Time Machine Backups of Pages file cannot be opened by Pages

    I just restird a backup of a Pages file from my Time Machine backup volume.  It's not a Pages file!  Finder jusy says it's a document and if I double click it, a folder is created with the same name as the file with a number appended.  There are sevarla files in the folder - none of them can be opened by Pages.
    I'm aware of the Preference to save a backup copy but that saves just one copy, not a tru backup.
    Is there some way round this?  I'm not inclined to use a product if I can't back up it's files safely.

    It's what I assumed.
    An iWork document created with the format introduced by iWork '09 is in fact a folder packed with a specific tool.
    If we remove the name extension, the system can't guess that it's an iWork document.
    According to the structure of the file, it recognize it as an archive and it unpack it.
    It's a variant of what I do when I want to study the contents of the index.xml file describing a document.
    In my scheme, I rename wxyz.pages as wxyz.pages.zip
    When I unpack it, I get a document wxyz.pages which is a Pages document in the old structure.
    When Time Machine give you a document entitled wxyz, it's important to add the extension name by yourself.
    If you forget and expand the beast as a folder, nothing is lost. Just rename the folder waxy as waxy.pages and Pages will open it.
    From my point of view, the fact that Time Machine return a document without its name extension is a bug in Time Machine.

  • .pages file cannot be opened in pages

    I've been working yesterday and today on a report for a customer in pages with many graphs. Tonight, I planned to finish the report, but Pages can't open the document anymore. I've tried many things:
    - Open it in Pages via 'open documents'
    - Open it in Pages via recent documents
    - Open via Finder
    - Sent file via mail and open it in mail
    - Open document via Dropbox
    - Open document on iPad via Dropbox
    Nothing works, Pages keeps saying it can't open the document
    I'm working on the same computer as where I made the document and quit Pages (and the document) in the normal way. How can this document be corrupted???
    For the maximum of bad luck: I always use Time Machine, but yesterday the back up file for Time Machine was too large so it was not finished. The back up of Time Machine I've got was made AFTER I saved the document, so Time Machine also has a corrupted version of the file...
    I also use Dropbox, but Dropbox does not seem to be able to restore files in the Pages-format
    Is there anything I can do to restore the document with it's graphs?

    A miracle happened: I was able to restore the Pages-document via Dropbox!
    It was a bit complicated, but I'll explain how I did it for all the others with the same problem:
    1. Go to finder on your Mac and right-click the document
    2. Click on 'Dropbox' and then on 'show deleted versions'. Now you see a package (on the Dropbox in your browser, which will open automatically) with all different files. What to do? Do this:
    3. Click on the little triangle at the right en of the file with the name 'index.xml.gz'
    4. Select 'previous versions' and click on the file of the moment in time you want to restore.
    Now the magic happens: the part of the package will be restored on your Mac. Try to open the corrupt Pages document again on your computer and... it works!

  • Pages '09 .template files cannot be opened in pages 5

    I have an older iMac and just bought a new Macbook. I have been having problems (seems like I'm not the only one) with the new Pages. Mostly, even on my iMac, I've had problems opening files. I always get an error that says, "'X file' can't be opened". Somehow I got to some of my older files, I think by converting them to .docx files. Now, I've purchased some resume templates that came in different formats. I can open the .docx files but the formatting gets screwed up. They came with pages .template files (that I assume were created in Pages '09) that I cannot open.
    Do I have any options besides trying to redo all of the formatting (defeating the purpose of buying templates) in Pages 5 which is a ****** application with ****** formatting tools?
    Can I get Pages '09 back
    Can Apple please stop trying to oversimplify things to the point of making them useless?
    Apple has really dropped the ball with this one. My frustration with pages alone is almost enough to make me wish I had purchased a different laptop. Microsoft Word '98 was a better word processor.
    Thanks,
    Jared
    P.S. the text editor in this forum is better than Pages 5

    We largely agree and have been recommending users stick with Pages '09 until a third party replaces Pages with something like Serif's Affinity Publisher next year.
    If you migrated your Mac over from the old one it should have transferred Pages '09.
    Can you reinstall from original installers? Just make sure to update iWork '09 to v4.3.

    PS Go to the App Store and add your rating review to the mounting displeasure. Where I am the vast majority is giving it one or two stars. ie We hate it.

  • Appleworks cwk files will not open in pages or numbers

    I use AppleWorks 6.2.9.  Since my upgrade to 10.6.8 AppleWorks will not permit the settings in any document to be changed with first quitting AppleWorks, removing the plist, restarting AW, and opening the file a second time.  This is annoying.  So, I am looking into moving to Pages and Numbers for my AW word processing and spreadsheet documents.  Pages '09 trail was downloaded from the network and no document selected can be opened by either program.  I simply get a dialog stating "File could not be opened".
    Nor will Pages or Numbers opened these files that were translated into a different format by MacLinkPlus.  Basically Pages and Numbers can not process and .cwk, .doc, or .xls file on my computer. 
    I am looking for solutions.

    I don't have any Appleworks files but Numbers & Pages users manuals say they will import Appleworks 6 files. I can't say why yours will not if they are Appleworks 6 documents.
    I also don't have MacLinkPlus but it might be doing one of two things: saving in a pre-'97 format of Excel or saving with non-standard header information in the file that Numbers does not understand.
    I'm not being of much help so far.  I've been looking all over and haven't found a solution for you. Sorry.

  • .doc files won't open on pages

    Hi, I'm new to pages from word but using a new iMac with pages preinstalled. When I try to open up a .doc file I get the error message '“XXXX ” can’t be opened.'
    My Mac is running on 10.9.3 and pages is 5.2 (1860) but there are no available updates to try. From reading previous discussions I can see that the location of the file is important, and this is where it was originally installed under applications.
    Any help would be gratefully received.

    An empty .doc file will produce that error message in Pages v5.2. Click once on the .doc file, and then press option+command+i. If it says Zero bytes, game over. Otherwise, what is the Created date reported with the preceding Show Inspector key combination?
    If the MS Word document is too old, Pages v5.2 will refuse to open it. If the .doc icon has text in it with the word DOC at the bottom, it should open. If it is a plain icon with DOC at the bottom, or does not have DOC on the icon, it may be an alien that Pages v5.2 cannot handle.

  • ICloud files won't open on Pages for Mac

    All of the sudden, I've discovered I can't open iCloud files in Pages on my Mac. (Just checked Keynote and Numbers, both of which I almost never use, and the same problem is happening there).
    I CAN open up the files in Pages on my iOS devices and iCloud.com, just not within the Pages app on my Mac. I know I can download files from iCloud.com if I absolutely have to. And while I can't open the iCloud files, I CAN seem to email them to myself. So I have them and can work on them on my Mac if needed...but it's annoying to have to do these workarounds.
    ALL the apps (on Mac, iDevices) are up to date, and so is Mavericks -- so I'm not sure what the issue is? Is anyone else having this problem?
    I also noticed that some of the files, when attempting to open them, have "-tef" attached to the end (like "[filename].pages-tef"). I've never seen that before, and not sure if that's related to the issue or not. Any help on getting iCloud files to open on my iWork Mac apps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • Doc files not fully opening in pages

    Hi experts,
    I am a recent convert from word to pages and I'm trying to transfer my doc. and docx. files to pages.  When I open the doc. files, they only have the first page (it looks like a screen shot) available in pages.  Can anyone help with the transfer process?  Thanks everyone.

    You probably have an images that in Word is spread over several pages. That is something Pages can't do.
    Either select the image and reduce the size or in Page setup change the paper size to a larger paper size.

  • .pages file created in Pages for Mac won't open in Pages for iPad

    Just created a pages document on my Mac, saved it to my google drive and when attempting to "open in" from my google drive the file won't open in pages for iPhone or iPad (mini).
    All versions of Pages are on latest release.
    Messge reads:
    Document can't be imported.
    The file format is invalid.
    I download both the mac app and ios app a week ago.
    Thank you for any info!

    I've been testing file structures via google drive this morning and have yet to find a solution.
    Compressed files will not open in Pages on the ipad and an upload to Google Drive of a .pages document re downloaded to my desktop will no longer open in Pages on the Mac.
    Somewhere in the google ecosystem during upload or download / "open in" (on the ipad) the file is being restructured so that it cannot be recognized.
    An hour call with the team at Google hasn't supplied an answer yet and they have opened a case file to investigate.
    I'll update when I hear back.
    Thanks!

  • File won't open / converting to word document

    An important text file wouldn't open in pages (version 1.0), on my macbook air. I tried converting it to a .doc; this would not open, and now it seems impossible to return it back to a pages document. It is a very important file and I need somehow to get that text back.

    Attach it to a mail and send them to my mailbox.
    I would be able to look at it tomorrow.

  • Pages '08 says "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." when opening a Pages '08 Document

    Created a document 3 years ago with Pages '08.  Got a new Mac last summer, migrated my user account, reinstalled Pages '08.  Upgraded to Mavericks recently.
    Now when trying to open the document I get the message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." 
    Note that I have read a number of the messages here that are similar.  To be clear there is only one Pages (Pages '08) on this system.  Its in the iWork folder.
    Is it the case that this document and all the other Pages '08 documents on my system are lost forever? 
    BTW I have looked at the new version of Pages.  Its just plain awful from UX to quality.  What has gone wrong at Apple and specifically in the iWork group in the past few years???
    Thanks for any help!

    And in trying to post this I got the "You are not allowed to create or update this content"  Changed the Community from what was automatically selected and seems to work now.  Whats with Apple Engineering and QA these days??? 

    I've never had Pages 5 on my system.  Just to confirm I copied the file to a USBDrive and gave it to a friend to try out.  He has Pages 5 on a new MBP with latest Mavericks.  When he tried to open it he got the following message:
    "You document will open in the new Pages for Mac.  If you save it or edit it, you'll need the latest Pages on iOS7 to open it on an iOS device."
    But it did open on his system.  He closed it, no save, and reopened but did not get the above message again.
    We concluded that the file is actually a Pages '08 file because of the above message.
    However we also suspect that when this file was simply opened in Pages 5.2.2 on his system it got flagged and possibly converted which is actually quite offensive!
    Thoughts/Advice?
