IWork '06 trial expired, now .pages 'cannot be opened'
In essence, I was stupid and on my new MacBook actually created some Pages documents. I say stupid because the machine automatically opened the trial version of Pages in the trial version of iWork '06. So now that the trial has expired, all those .pages document will not open in the previous version of Pages.
Is there any way, short of buying iWork '06, which is not currently an option, I can actually recover these documents, or has the fact that my new machine forced .pages documents to open in the trial version completely raked me over?
Only Pages 2.0 can open Pages 2.0 documents with preserved layout.
The best thing you can do without Pages 2.0 is to ctrl-click on the files and choose "show package content". The content is not easy to read, but it contains the pictures and the text in a not easily readable xml-format. There may be some things there you can use.
I would check around with friends, and see if anyone of them had Pages. Then export the files to rtf or word format. If there are some really nice people at your Apple dealer, they may even help you out converting the files, even though it is not part of their job.

I installed new software updates, and now when I try to open up pages it tells me "Pages cannot be opened because of a problem." does anyone know what I can do?
1)Copy this below from --{code} to --{code}
--{code}
set p2l to "" & (path to library folder from user domain)
set the_cache to p2l & "Caches:com.apple.iWork.fonts"
tell application "System Events"
set maybe to exists disk item the_cache
if maybe then delete disk item the_cache
end tell
if maybe then
display dialog "I deleted the file :" & return & the_cache
else
display dialog "The file :" & return & the_cache & return & "was unavailable !"
end if
--{code}
2) Than open Applescript Editor in your applications and paste it
3) Than select "Compile"
4) Than select "Run" -
For days now, a "Reminder" box pops up on my screen every few minutes. It's followed by whatever the date is. It always says that a Web page cannot be opened and to try various things, even though I'm not online or trying to open any page. I can get rid of it by opening the task manager (control, alt, delete), but it comes back in a few minutes. I tried "System Restore" but that's not working, for an unrelated reason. I'd like to stop this annoying reminder. Thanks.
Might be spyware or adware. You could try scanning for that and remove spyware if you find any.

Please elaborate on what exactly you mean by it "won't open".
Do you try to launch it and get an error message from the Finder (for example, something like "This application is damaged and cannot be launched....")? Does an icon for the application ever appear in the Dock when you try to launch it? Does it start to launch and then immediately crashes (Finder will display an "unexpectedly quit" dialog)? Or does it start to launch and never seems to "finish" launching (in other words, it basically hangs and is unresponsive)?
If the application crashes, please post the contents of the crash log here.
Otherwise, if the application seems to be hanging, can you, before attempting to launch it, open the Console.app application (it's in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder), and see if anything is reported when you attempt to launch it? If so, please post it here. -

I Just downloaded Acrobat Pro after trial and now I can't open any files, when I click on icon I get this message: the last time you opened Acrobat, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its window again? If you choose not to reopen windows, you may have to open and position the window yourself. There are 2 options: Don't Reopen or Reopen Either choice leads to a window that pops upend says please wait while we launch Acrobat and then window just closes quickly.
Hi mbt6833,
You may goto control panel and then go to program and features.
Select the Acrobat pro and chose the option change from the top. Fallow the onscreen instruction a windows will pop up where you need to choose repair.

I just updated Safari with version 5.1.10 and now I cannot use "open location". Anyone else having this problem and are there any solutions?
Ok ...
Try troubleshooting extensions and third party plugins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here. -
I am trying to set up my daughter's iTouch. I am connected to our Wi-Fi, and have confirmed this in Settings, but when we try and open any webpage we receive the message that page cannot be opened because not connected to the Internet. I have already re-set the iPod, have shut-down and restarted, and told the iPod to "Forget Network". please help - i am going bananas!
Encryption wouldn't matter except for Wifi.
While 10.2 might help, there's not much you can do on the Internet these days with less than 10.4.11

Cc trial expired now can't open cs6 files
I downloaded indesign cc to use while I was waiting for my cs6 to arrive. Now the files I save from cs6 will not open. I get a message that says my trial has expired, and the icons look like a blank white page. However, I can open the saved files from within cs6. How do I fix the icons and stop gettin the trial expired message? using Windows 7
First thing is to uninstall ID CS6 from control panel. Then download, install and Run the cleaner tool http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html to perform a clean un-installation of CC and CS6. Then go ahead and install ID CS6 again. Alternatively, to skip re-installation, you may try to right click on one of the blank icons InDesign file and then select open with and choose InDesign CS6 as its default program. Doing this should also fix the issue.

Firefox 18.0.2 - only in this newest version - in many cases (but not all) hyperlinks on pages (e.g. search results and also common links on some sites) cannot be opened by simple left-click, Firefox just do nothing at this moment, only refreshes current page.
I mean not opening in a new tab but even in the same tab - link is not opened anyway though link is correct itself, it opens if I do this by right-click or CTRL+click (open in new tab or new window) .
Strange issue which I clearly see now after last update to version 18.0.2 (on Windows XP). Everything have been okay a little ago on previous version.Hello viewfinder
'''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.

Files in Pages cannot be opened on my Mac Mini
When I try to open a file in Pages on my Mac Mini, I get a message that the file cannot be opened. I can open all files on my iPad. And until today, I could open all files on my Mac Mini. The only thing that I did today was to sync the 2 devices. How can I get my Mac Mini to open my Pages files?

LR5 Trial Expired now LRCC/6 Expired - broken?
I was running a trial of LR5 which recently expired, as I was testing out the Fuji x-trans raw file conversion. I decided to wait until LR6 came out to see if the process module had been improved. So I downloaded the update through the CC tool, but as soon as it had installed it said that LR CC's trial had also expired.
Any ideas on how i can use the develop module which is currently disabled?as long as you have your serial number you can convert the trial to the full version. just open lr>click help>click license/activate/something similar.
