IWork documents will not open in Preview or display with Quicklook

I have recently upgraded to OSX Mavericks and updated to the latest version of iWork (including the fresh installation of Numbers and Pages). However new iWork documents are not are not displaying in Finder with a preview thumbnail, or opening with either Quicklook or Preview. I only see the Pages, Keynote, and Numbers document icons.
The issue is isolated to new iWork documents, as iWork 09 documents still work, as well as most other standard file formats.
I have checked the Quicklook folder my Library, and have the latest 3.0 version of iWork.qlgenerator.
I have tried restarting Finder and Quicklook (in Terminal), as well as restarting the machine. However this has not solved the problem.
It’s not the end of the world, but it is inconvenient.
Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks!

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.

  • IWork documents will not open on iCloud

    Hello
    I have Numbers, Pages and Keynote documents saved in iCloud. When I try to access them via www.icloud.com (after a while "loading")I get the following error message:
    "Sorry, something went wrong." This has been the same for a few dates now.
    Any ideas please?

    Hi Nick69UK,
    That error makes it sound like a temporary issue, like a system issue.

  • Page documents will not open.

    Suddenly some of my page documents will not open. I get this message: You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. I have the newest version and it has been opening these documents just fine previously

    Sounds like you have both Pages 5 and Pages '09 on your Mac and are alternately opening them.
    When Pages 5 was installed, your iWork '09 software was moved to your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 .pages files.
    Don't toss Pages '09 however as it has vastly more features and is less buggy than Pages 5.

  • My pages documents will not open?

    My pages documents will not open and I am not happy at all?

    Hi italiancooking,
    This may help. In Finder, right click (or control click) on the document icon and Open With > Preview. If this works, copy the content and paste it into a new blank Pages document.
    Regards,

  • One of my pages documents will not open. the others will

    Hello, wondering if anyone has any answers here. One  (only one) of my pages document will not open. The message says `the document couldn`t be opened` and there is a little yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle of it,  next to the message. I used this document this morning, no problem. Also, I checked other pages documents and there is no problem only with one.
    Kind regards,
    Thank you

  • A Pages document will not open.  Others do, but are slow.  Need this document!

    A Pages document will not open and there is a screen annoucement it will not open.  Other Pages documents do open, but are slow.  The one that will not open now was also very slow.  My last visit to the Apple store the Genius Bar said I needed a new HD.  Is this the final straw and it's time to take it in and let them replace it?  Under warrently.

    Do we know what document won't open?
    Do we also know what version of Pages you are talking about, on what MacBook Pro?
    Something tells me you are not using Mac OSX (10.7), the only thing you have noted.
    If your Mac is running slow, the usual reason is your hard drive is too full. OSX likes 10-15% free space.

  • Numbers documents will not open it says "will not open during numbers update"

    My numbers documents will not open.  I keep getting a message telling me my documents will not open while numbers is updating.  I have the latest numbers update already downloaded.

    open the application "Launchpad":
    then click, and hold, on the icon for "Numbers", once the icons start to shake, click the "X" in the top left to remove.  Now click anywhere on the desktop to exit this remove/adjust mode.
    Open the App Store  (menu item " > App Store…")

  • Iwork numbers will not open

    iwork numbers will not open, despite reinstalling the software. Pages & Keynote work fine. Any Ideas?

    For Lion 10.7.5: Restart holding down Command R. Click on Disk Utility. Select your HD. Select Repair Disk Permissions.
    I haven't had any problems in a long time. I'm running Pages 4.2 & Numbers 2.2.
    I don't think there's usually any need to repair permissions with Lion. There were probably some software updates that fixed the problem. I find it helps to shut the computer down at night instead of just putting it to sleep. This has eliminated some freezes I was having with both newer and older computers.

  • Cloud documents will not open today?

    Local Pages documents on my Mac will open as normal. Cloud documents will not open today. They worked yesterday.
    Does anyone else have this problem? And did you find a solution?
    Many thanks

    OK, I'm replying to my own post.
    I have two documents saved to the Cloud which will not open on my iMac. When I tried to duplicate one in the "open" window, Mac OS brought up a warning that the document was being modified. When I checked it on my iPad the document did not exist. So something went wrong during a sync at some point. On the iPad I could duplicate the document and now I can edit the duplicate on my iMac.
    Summary: at the moment it looks like sync problems with specfic documents and not a general problem.

  • After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

    After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

    The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
    Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

  • Adobe Reader will not open embedded PDFs in Safari with Yosemite

    Adobe Reader will not open embedded PDFs in Safari with Yosemite installed

    That looks like a perfectly good PDF, but since it's trying to open in Microsoft Word, that means your file association for .pdf files is incorrect.  You should change it to point to Adobe Reader instead of Word.
    If you are on Windows, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-file-open-program#1TC=windows-7

  • HT4283 My document will not open on Pages on my iPad.  What do I do?

    I typed a paper on Pages on my iPad and now it will not open. I have tried being online, offline, shutting down, making a copy, accessing it through my phone. I need that paper and do not know how to get to it from anywhere else.
    HELP!!!

    Hi solism,
    Are you working with a WebDav service or is this a document that may be in your iCloud account?
    The article below will help you retrieve the document if you have it saved in iCloud:
    iCloud: About using iWork for iOS and iCloud
    How can I access documents on my iOS device on my computer?
    In OS X Mountain Lion, you can also access your iWork documents directly from iCloud within the applications themselves. Choose Open from the File menu in an iWork application, then click the iCloud button in the top-left corner of the document browser to view all documents for that application that you have stored in iCloud.
    On any Mac or PC, you can also visit icloud.com/iwork to download your iWork for iOS documents in iWork ’09, Microsoft Office, or PDF format (at icloud.com/iwork). You can also upload your iWork ’09 or Microsoft Office documents from your Mac or PC by dragging and dropping them to icloud.com/iwork; the documents will automatically appear on your iOS devices you've set up with iCloud.
    Note: You cannot download a document from iCloud.com in Microsoft Office or PDF format to your Mac or Windows computer until the document has been previously opened on an iOS device. Learn more about Documents in the Cloud.
    I hope this helps ...

  • Double Clicking on a PDF document, will not open

    When double clicking on a PDF document with the default document properties set to Acrobat Professional 8, the document will not launch Acrobat.
    If Acrobat is already opened however it will launch.
    I've tried:
    re-setting file associations
    deleting preferences
    Uninstalling and reloading Acrobat: (solves the issue for a time but after a period of use it reverts to this broken state).
    OS X 10.5.5 is fully updated, as is Acrobat 8.

    Another Utility that will do the same without aid of DVD.

  • PDF documents will not open in Adobe Acrobat 5

    I have one computer with XP running Acrobat 5. I now have a second computer running Windows 7 with Acrobat 9 Pro.  When I take PDF documents from the computer with Acrobat 9 Pro to the one with Acrobat 5, the PDF docs will not open - an error message states the file is corrupted.  Why is this hapening and how can it be fixed?
    Thanks for any assistance - confused.

    #1 - The files were moved using a thumb/USB drive and "Safely Remove" was used.
    #2 - You may be on to something here for some: Some were created by AA9 but some others were scanned in and some were from AA8 that I had no trouble before.
    #3 - The only "special feature" is that the PDF files are searchable and some are a PDF of an image.
    These are basic PDF files.
    Thanks for your assistance
