IWorks documents open new iWork 10 applications by default

Because of the known issues of the new iWork 10 suite I would like to have the old Pages, Numbers and Keynote applications as standard programs which are opened when a document is doubleclicked. When I open the info window of a e.g. Pages document, change the default program to the old Pages and click on "Change all …" the default application settings jumps back to the new Pages version. It seems to me that Apple tries to force us to the new feature-cutted iWorks suite.
I tried to cheat with the preference panel "RCDefaults" but it does not help. Is there a more powerful brute force terminal command to make the iWorks 9 suite to the default?
Oh, deleting the new programs would be the best solution. I don't need them. But they are automatically re-installed. They update themselves even when they already installed.

iWork '09 was the year not the version.
No point making up names, it only confuses the issue. It has a name and a version. Use those so everyone else knows what you are talking about.
Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work:

Iworks 09 and new iWork compatibility

We run our office all with the iWork Suite from apple. However we have some older machines which cannot be upgraded to neighter LION nor Mavericks.
What I have run into now is, that the older machines cannot run the new iWorks suite anymore AND the docs the new Pages/Numbers create are no longer backward compatible.
This is an awkward step I think. I am really not happy with this.

Open document opens new Window in IE which is in front, then back, front

Hello we have here the following Situation.
We have a big XI 3.1 Business Objects Platform running.
Also we have in our company net a portal in which the users can open reports from our BO platform.
This is done by usercustomized open document urls.
That al works fine.
Thing is, when a user requests the report, the Internet Explorer opens a new window which is blank. The Window can be seen for a second. Then the new window goes to the background behind the current window. After several seconds when in the new window the report starts to regenerate itself the window goes back to the front and the report is displayed.
And that behaviour confuses our user quite a lot.
The behaviour can be seen in IE 6 and 8. Firefox does not show this behavior.
IE9 wasn't tested.
So, does anyone know if there is an IE setting, or part of the Open document url which can change the behavior so that the new indow just apears and then stay apeared?
Changing the browser to firefox or IE9 is not an option because we are talking about 30k pc-clients.

Here is an example URL. I have made the servername and parameters in italics.
Im not responsible for the deployment of the war files. But it was seen that after the update of the SP3 old opendoc syntax caused problems in other opendoc calls and was changed. So I assume that the war was deployed.
https://*serverurl*/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?token=*servername:port*@*something-something*&sWindow=New&reportType=FullClient&ls*Parameter1*=*parameterstring*;&iDocID=*IdocID of the Report*&sWindow=Same
Actually after seeing the opendoc-string im surprised of the double use of the &sWindow parameter.

Suddenly double-clicking on a PDF document opens the Acrobat application but the document does not load.

Up until today I had no problem opening a PDF document that I have already saved by double-clicking on it. Now when I do that, my Acrobat application opens, but the PDF document does not. I need to use File/ Open to select the document I want to see, or I need to right mouse click on the PDF document and choose “Open with”. I had this once before and I had help to resolve this, but I am using Acrobat 7 Professional and since it is not supported, I can’t get help when I call Support.

Sounds like a Windows problem. Try the right click and then select the ALWAYS open with feature. That is supposed to fix the link. If that does not work, open the file type menu under the TOOLS>Folder Options (XP view, may be other in VISTA). If you select advanced under PDF, you should get a link under the open>edit something like "c:\adobeapp\acrobat 5.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" "%1". The comment you make sounds like the %1 or the quotes are missing. Bill

When opening new tab, text placement defaults to address bar, any way to change it to the new page (like Google)?

When I click on the plus for a new tab, which automatically takes me to google.com so fine, but the cursor is in the address bar. It looks like the cursor is in the google search field, but it isn't.
When I click "home" the cursor defaults to the search field, which I feel is proper. Is there a way to have FF not default to the address bar for text input when opening a new tab?

I doubt it. Google controls both their search and their browser and they integrate the features. But you can use "Ctrl+K" to place your cursor on Search Bar" within your Firefox toolbars. Pressing the TAB key is pretty much a waste of time since there are a lot of links before you get to the input area.
There might be an extension, if it bothers others, but I can't see a valid trade-off to justify using an extension for something that seems trivial to me.

Fatal error message: unable to open new software application on Tungsten e2

I recently downloaded a new software program onto my tungsten e2- I had to put it on my 1gb memory card of course because I've used up all my internal memory. I already had another software app on the card that works perfectly. And I also still have more than enough space for the new app I downloaded. (FYI the new app is sanford antimicrobial pocket guide for pda, bought it directly off their professional website & downloaded directly to my computer so no problems there). However, when I click on the icon to open up the new program, I get this error message: "Emul68KMain.c, Line:108, divide by zero at address 00861870". Now this is not a language I understand, so I'm hoping some computer/pda wiz can help me out!!
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
Without being familiar with that particular application, I suggest you revisit the developer's support site for help. Even if you were able to install the application to the SD card, the application will still need some room to run in the device's main memory. In other words, applications do not "run" in the card per se...they're just stored there, but when they run, they still require access to sufficient device memory.

Why do I have to go to app store to open new version of Numbers on my computer?

Why can I only open the new version of numbers through the app store?

Hi Arnie.carol,
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you may be trying to open the new version of Numbers, which is installed on your computer, but when you attempt to open it you only see the old version opening. If this is the case, it can be explained by the information in the following article about updating iWork:
About the new iWork for Mac: Features and compatibility - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6049
In the meanwhile, you can continue to use these features by accessing the previous versions of the iWork applications which remain installed on your Mac. The previous versions can be found in Applications > iWork ’09.
You can double check this by utilizing a right-click on the Numbers icon in your dock, and choosing “Show in Finder,” which should take you to the application:
OS X Mavericks: Shortcuts for the Dock
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13718
See an item in the Finder
Command (⌘)-click the item’s icon, or Control-click the icon, then choose Options > Show in Finder.
From there, you can check the version number to see if it matches the updated version number in the App Store. Next, if you wish to always open the new version of Numbers by clicking on the icon in the Dock, open the application from the App Store as you have been doing, then right-click on the active Numbers application (the one that will have a light below it), and choose to add the application to the Dock by choosing “Keep in Dock”:
Add an open app to the Dock
Control-click the app’s icon, then choose Options > Keep in Dock.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

How do I stop office documents from defaulting to open in iWork?

I don't want my MS Office documents to default to opening in iWork. Yosemite is forcing this. How do I turn it off?

Have you tried this?
Select a Word file via the Finder,
Do a get info, and then
Select the Open With
And select your app: MS Word
change all
Use this application to open all documents like this one.
Repeat for Excel and PPT with appropriate app.

Just opened a new blank document in Pages (iWork 2009). When I try to type a letter (any letter of text) the computer just "dings" and types nothing.

Probably you have opened a blank Layout template which requires a Textbox for you to type into.
Open a blank Word Processing template instead. The two types are listed in the Sidebar of the Template Chooser.

I hate the new 5.0, and am having the same issue. Because I created or opened and saved several documents in the new 5.0 before I realized how bad it is, I had to figure out how to make them usable again.
I have both versions of Pages (5.0 and 4.3) in my Dock for now. If a document tells me that it can't be opned by 4.3, I opn 5.0, open the document, EXPORT it in 4.3 with the same name, and overwrite the old document. That usually (big dog willing and the creek don't rise!) gives me access to my work.
Once I am sure I have no remaining 5.0 douments around, I'll take 5.0 out of the dock.
It truly is a pain in the ***. Here's the comment I left for Apple –
I am now attempting to uninstall Pages 5.0 so I can go back to using Pages 4.3. The designers of 5.0 took away (or hid) so many of the functions that I've come to know and trust that I am appalled.
It is now a kindergarten version of the workhorse I knew and loved. IT EVEN LOOKS like a dumbed-down app now, with cartoon buttons that reflect its audience – people who don't need a sophisticated, customizable publishing tool, who just need simple icons they can point at LIKE A FAST FOOD CASH REGISTER.
I'll be using either 4.3 or Word for Mac from here on out.

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.

Opening iWork documents in windows

Can I open documents created in iWorks on my windows machine at work?
Can I print those documents?
Thanks,
Peter

No, you can't open iWork documents with anything on Windows.
If you export to something that can be opened by Windows applications like .doc and .ppt, then, yes, you can open and print them.
If printing is the most important thing, print to a .pdf and, if you have Acrobat on the Windows PC, you should be able to print it successfully.

Application it starts the the last document opened instead a new one

After I upgraded to 10.7.2, When I open an application it start the the last document opened when I closed. This is for all MS Office (Word, Excell, PPT), Safari (opens the last tab and not the home site). Any solution to this?

Doesn't this happen to you too?
Not any more.
I unchecked the dialog in System Preferences.
I properly quit (Command + Q or File > Quit) every application before shutting down. It has always been the default OS behavior that whatever window you had open at shutdown or restart will open when you boot up - that behavior is not new.
I also uncheck the dialog window before/while shutting down.
And, I went a step further (this will stop all):
Open your now hidden User Library folder by holding Option key and going to Go in Menu.
Scroll down to "Saved Application State" folder.
Select all content and drag to trash.
With that folder highlighted, hold Command + I keys.
In the resulting window (you may have to unlock the lock at the bottom and input your admin password), check the box next to "Locked".
Lock the lock at the bottom.
Doing this will prevent any files being written to that folder which means there is nothing "saved". My folder has been empty since I locked it.
P.S. The macworld article works as well.....
