It is difficult to open pages

I need one minute in order to open pages, including the other two applications , keynote and numbers, when internet connection is off, 1 second when is on. What's wrong? await yr help on this matter. Many tks in advance. Alberto

Use *Disk Utility* found in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
In Disk Utility:
Select your hard drive from the list, probably "Macintosh HD":
On the right appears a pane in the window with the first button +First Aid+ (this is the English version) hilighted in blue.
Down the bottom are 4 buttons:
+Verify Disk Permissions+ | +Verify Disk+
+Repair Disk Permissions+ | +Repair Disk+
Click on +Repair Disk Permissions+ and let it run.
You can also +Verify Disk+, but to +Repair Disk+ you need to first start your Mac from the installer DVD.
There is a summary of useful information about the state of your Hard Drive along the bottom of the window.
You can also use Disk Utility to change your HD partitions, burn CDs/DVDs and to create .dmg files (virtual drives).

Muse CC 2014 hangs opening page

I am attempting to edit a website originally developed in Muse 7. The site has been successfully opened in Muse 8, saved and I have made some changes on Master pages and the Home page successfully. However, when opening other pages to edit them, I have had Muse either hang while opening the page or simply not open the page at all. The site has both Tablet and Mobile versions and consists of some 20 or so pages I am running Muse CC 2014 on OS-X 10.9.4
1: double-click on a page in plan mode to open it. Muse starts opening the page and hangs "retrieving data", after 10+ minutes I Force Quit Muse. When I re-started Muse, it auto recovered the site and opened the page.
2. I was able to make changes to the page and save the site with a new version.
3: I then attempted to open a couple of other pages to edit, either by double-click in plan mode or right-click and choose the open page option. Nothing happens. Pages don't open at all.
4: Published the site, using changes only option. I see that the changes I made in step 2 do not appear on the published site.
5: Attempt to Quit Muse. It appears to close the muse site file and then hangs, that is, it does not complete the shut-down process.
6: Force Quit again...
Of course now that the site is in Muce CC 2014 format, I don't think I can open it with Muse 7.
Any ideas or anyone else having these problems?
thanks,
David

Hi vega9,
I have read your posts on this forum thread and the other one you noted. I am sorry for inconvenience has cost you. Can you send us the following to [email protected] with
"ATTN: Marc" as the subject and a link to this thread in the body?
Your Muse file

MAC: /Users/ [username] /Documents
WIN: C:\Users\[username]\Documents
Unfortunately it is difficult to say if the issue you are experiencing is due to the same root cause as some of the other individuals on this thread. I will try my best to isolate it and find out if it is.
Can you also elaborate on the issues you are experiencing with importing Edge Animate files?
Thank you for your patience,
Marc

How Do I go directly to Desktop without disturbing the Opened pages? I am using Lion OS

How Do I go directly to Desktop without disturbing the Opened pages? I am using Lion OS

You can tap one of the keyboard Function (F) keys. Without knowing which keyboard you use it 's a little difficult to say. If you don't have a keyboard shortcut to do that, create one in System Preferences - Keyboard. I have my F6 key set to take me directly to the desktop. However the way your question is phrased I'm not positive that is what you are asking.

Open Pages 3 documents with Pages 5?

I'm thinking of updating from Pages 3.x to 5.x.
Is it true one cannot open Pages 3 files with Pages 5?
If so, what is the workaround?

Yes, it's true. The new versions cannot open any iWork '08 or earlier documents or templates. You will get an error saying to open the files in iWork '09 then open them in the new version. I suggest that you buy a retail copy of iWork '09 from a third party such as Amazon or eBay & then update to the new iWork apps in the Mac App Store. You might check this link for the iWork '09 trial. I have no idea if it is still available.
If you’ve already purchased the new iWork apps in Mavericks, you can also use this trick to get Pages 4.3. If you still have access to a Mac running Mountain Lion. It must be Mountain Lion or Lion. Snow Leopard won't work. If the iWork '09 apps are installed, compress them & delete the originals. Launch the Mac App Store & click on the 'install' buttons under the iWork apps. You will get a message that you can't install the new version on this Mac but it will offer to download the previous version for you. Voilá, you have the self-contained apps that you can copy to another Mac.
If you don't want to use iWork '09 to convert the files to a format that the new versions can open you can export them as Microsoft Office documents - Word, Excel, PowerPoint - then open those in the new versions.

Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad

Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad 2. Document succesfully transferred as Pages document to computer, but Pages 2.0,2 wouldn;t open it. Version too old?

Pages 2 is iWork '06, two versions behind what the iOS Pages creates. You need to use Pages '09 which you can purchase from the Mac App Store as a stand-alone application or a retail box of the iWork '09 suite.

Open Pages documents from an older version

I need to open Pages documents from an older version of Pages that I saved to an external drive from a computer that I no longer have access to. My current operating system is 10.7.5 and I can't upgrade it right now. I see that Pages 5.0 requires 10.10 or higher and I can't find older versions to download and from what I've read, it doesn't sound like I'd be able to open the old documents with the new version anyway. I really need these documents. What can I do?

I found it helpful to convert all my old Pages '08 files to .doc files. They can be opened by the new version of Pages.
Since the new version of Pages is no longer back compatible, and so not good for anything you want to keep for a long time, you might consider using an open source word processing application like Libra Office. That's what I had to do. After seven years of being a happy Pages user - archiving thousands of files in Pages -Apple has abandoned us. I no longer think it is wise to use the new Pages and then five years down the road (or sooner) not to be able to open them in a newer version.
If you would like a quick way to convert your Pages '08 files to .doc, let me know.

I downloaded Maverick and now I can't open pages from the Dock. The Pages icon just jumps up and down abut doesn't open. However, I can one pages by clicking on the App. I have an iMac with iWork 08.

Since upgrading to Maverick from Mountain Lion I am unable to open Pages from the Dock. When I click on the pages icon in the dock the icon just keeps bouncing up and down. However, I can open pages by clicking on the icon in the Apps folder. No problems prior to upgrading to Maverick.

Quit Pages. Drag its icon out of the Dock. Create a new one by dragging the application into the Dock. Test.

When I open Pages from the Dock, the page comes up on the screen but immediately hangs up with the rainbow circle spinning. I finally have to force quite to make it go away. It does not ask me to choose a template. This is sporadic, sometimes working, sometimes not. What is going on?

Helo,
Did you try to delete Pages' preferences file(s) in the folder your-user-name/Library/Preferences ?
There are one or more (depends on your OS X version) file like "com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist"
You can also repair permissions with Disk Utility in the folder Applications/Utilities.
Choose the hard drive were Pages is and click the button "Repair permissions".
Or you can re-install Pages.
Hope this will help.

I am having problems opening pages in safari. the rotating wheel at the right end of the address window doesn't stop even after the page has filled up. then if i try to open other pages it gets stuck and won't open them.

I started having problems opening pages today. When first open a page it seems to download the page OK, but the rotating wheel on the right-hand end of the address field keeps rotating after the page is completely filled up. Then if I try to open other pages it becomes slower and eventually stops filling-in the pages, while the rotating wheel keeps rotating.
I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac, or what is going on. Help will be geatly appreciated.

When was the last time you emptied the Safari cache?
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
If that didn't make a difference, go back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
And how much free space on the startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space. Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
If emptying cache or resetting didn't help and there's enough free space on the startup disk, login to another user account, launch Safari. Same problems there indicates a system wide problem. Log back into your admin account so you can check the startup disk.
Launch Disk Utility. /Applications/Utilities
Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac
Nothing should "download" to your Mac unless you initiate the download yourself. You can check the Downloads folder from the Safari > Window menu or your Downloads folder in the Finder.

When I open Pages the template chooser doesn't open even though i have chosen that in preferences

In Pages preferences, I have chosen to open the template chooser window, but for some reason when I open Pages, it continually opens in a finder type window and I have to choose "new document" and then I will get the template chooser window...is this correct?

Thank you so much, Picas! I was going crazy thinking I had corrupted some preference...I am new to Macs!

Abnormal behaviour with Lion. Opening Pages causes my Mac to have a lethargic performance since I installed the Lion OS, anyone has a similar problem?

Since i first installed the Lion OS, my mac has been having performance slowdowns while working on Pages. It appears to affect all functional software and hardware. E.G. when clicking either the dashboard or the desktop button it does nothing, Pages has a horrible lethargic processing, etc.
The strange thing is that Pages does reflect a considerable improvement if working in the fullscreen environment.
If anyone else is having or had this issue could you please give advice.
Thank you

You would be better asking these questions in the Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Discussions area. The Pages Discussions area is just about Pages so we won't be able to help you with general Mac OS X problems.
However, there is a big difference opening Pages/Numbers/Keynote from Launchpad or my previous Dock. If I use Launcpad, those software open now decently quick. Using Dock is much more slower.
Have you tried removing the Dock icons for iWork and readding them?
I also downloaded Lion Disk Recovery Assistant - I am surprised that these were not on my Mac already, though my Automatic upgrade assistant informs that no new upgrades are available.
You may be surprised, but you're not being singled out. The Lion Disk Recovery Assistant was not made available to anyone via Software Update. It's a manual download from Apple's Support web pages.
If you were not aware of the Mac OS X 10.7.1 update being available you should check System Preferences > Software Update and ensure it's set to check for updates as frequently as you require.

Do you have backups of all the data on the startup drive? If not, do nothing else until you've backed up that data, if you still can.

Hi, Joann
JustAnswer has asked me to answer your question -- "I have iPad 2 and I don't see the little box at top in safari with the number on it that I can tap to get to my open pages
On iPad 1 it was next to the little open book

Not with iOS 5 no. A number of other people have made the same comment about it, so you could try leaving feedback like some of them will have done, and maybe in a future iOS update we'll get the choice : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Closing an open page in DW

I created a link to an image in a slideshow that opens a single image in a new _Blank page. The original gallery page stays open and the slide show continues. On the newly opened page, I have order buttons and additional information about the image. Once they are finished viewing that page, I need to learn the command to close the current page which would return them to the gallery page.
I may not use the _Blank page option, but am curios how to exectue the Close This Page command.
Thanks,
M. Jackson

how about this:
function PopupStudent()
javascript:window.open('f?p=&APP_ID.:&DYNAMIC_PAGE_NAME.:&SESSION.::NO.:::','Popup','width=800,height=500,scrollbars=1,resizable=1');

It is difficult to open pages
