Large pages document won't save

I have a very large pages document - 400 pages, 1.4GB. I have been replacing all the images in the document with edited versions of them, perhaps making the document slightly larger. When I try to save the document it goes to the halfway mark, stays there for ages, and then says that pages cannot save the document. Is there a certain size document that pages simply won't save as I know I have enough space on my computer to store the file.

Well,  Did you save it as Untitled? Where did you save it? On the HD or on iCloud? Is it just this untitled document or are you having problems with more Pages documents? what else haven't ypu told us?

  • Large pages document

    How do I break up a large pages document into chunks that I can e-mail.

    Is this to send to other Pages users or to non-Pages users?
    If it is the first, divide the document into sections, make syure you specify that each section's page numbers are set to begin at their actual count in the Inspector then make copies and delete the unwanted parts in each.
    If it is the later save as a .pdf and drag out sections of the .pdf in Preview .app.

  • HT4942 pages document won't open on ipad or icloud

    I have created a document in pages on my ipad. 
    All of a sudden after switching to another document and then trying to switch back, on my ipad which wasn't connected to the internet at the time, I could no longer open my document in Pages.
    I message popped up saying document won't open.  I tried making a copy of it and the copy had the same error message when I tried to open it. I tried emailling and exporting it in the ipad Pages app but it froze up when trying to do it and didn't work.
    I logged onto icloud and I see the document there but it won't open. I get a message that says "Document Can't be downloaded, please try again"
    Is there any way to recover this document?  It is so frustrating because I can see what I wrote is still there in the thumbnail - but I just can't get the actual document.

  • Icloud synch very slow for a large pages document

    I have just modified a 350 page pages document ( with many photos ) on my mac book pro, and logged into my imac 5 minutes later.  15 min later I still don't have the  current version on my imac
    WHY IS SYNCING DOCUMENTS SO SLOW ?
    Seems that icloud is inothing.
    thankx

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    That will be a result of a large document. You must remember upload speeds are usually only a fraction of download speeds, large documents may take a while depending on their size.

  • Pages documents won't open on MacBook

    I've got a number of Pages documents on iCloud, and all of a sudden, none of them can be opened from Pages (5.2.2) on my MacBook Pro. They all appear, but they either say "zero bytes" or there is just a gray line. If I select any document, the "Open" button remains gray. I CAN open all docs on my iPad, and I can also open them using the iCloud web interface. Meanwhlie, Calendar is syncing new events to all devices without problem, in all directions, so it can't be a problem with the account.
    Any ideas? Very frustrating, makes me want to forget about iCloud.

    I have a similar situation. I write a Pages document on my Macbook Air and save to iCloud, I can see the document on my iMac but it gives the grey bar which eventually becomes "zero bytes", I cannot open it. However, I can see, access and modify this document on my iPhone, my iPad and iCloud via Safari browser and they all sync beautifully together through iCloud. The iMac stays at "zero bytes" and just doesn't want to join in at all.
    I have reinstalled Pages on both machines, I have removed Pages 09 as I thought that it might be the cause of the conflict/problem.
    I am running the most recent versions of IOS & Mavericks on all machines/devices.
    Any ideas what might be the problem? I've wasted way too much time on this already, I do so want iCloud to work .. . . but I am be pushed back to Dropbox. Sigh.

  • Can't find a pages document despite regular saves while working on it.

    Hello. Yesterday I spent a couple of hours continuing work on a pages document I had prepared. I saved the document regularly using both the file>save method and the Command+S method. The file did seem to take an unusual amount of time to save but it did appear to complete the save. I shut down the computer overnight and started it up to do some more work today. To my surprise I can only find the previous version of the file that I saved a on the 18th - not the one I was working on on the 21st. A search of the finder, recycle bin and anywhere else I can think of has come up with nothing. It seems nothing at all was saved while I was working on the document. Time Machine wasn't plugged in. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    …Love to have a beer with Duncan, love to have a beer with Dunc…
    Have you gone to:
    +Menu > File > Open Recent…+ ?
    You have Time Machine so obviously you have a 2nd drive. It is nowhere on that?
    It is also possible that you accidently saved it into your System files which Spotlight does not search.
    Did you Save As… to another format perhaps?
    Download [EasyFind|http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11076/easyfind] (free) and install it. It will search all your drives as long as they are attached, so make sure you have inserted all external drives, USB flash drives etc and anywhere else you may have dropped your file.
    You do need to be more conscious of what you are doing when you save and where you save to.
    If you are new to Macs or computing I suggest you do Apple's introductory videos:

  • Pages Document won't open

    Hello, in need of desperate help. Im having trouble opening a pages document I saved. It's coming up with the following error 'document could not be handled because Pages cannot open files in the “data” format. Is there any way to fix this? thank you in advance

    Hi,
    I also have problem with a presumably corrupt file. My tip is to open the XML document with Safari and then copy and paste the text into a new document. That way you get rid of the whole <xxx> tags in one swoop. However, you also loose formatting and paragraphs that way.
    This just happened to me:
    • Pages immediaately crashes when I try to open a 200+ pages document....
    • The same happens with my Backup files...
    • When I try to open it with the File:Open menu, the same thing.
    • When I try to drag and drop the file into a blank document, it says (among other things) that the file might be corrupted....
    • When I look at the package contents, i can open and read every single file just fine!
    • So what is pages doing? it doesn't even try to recover it!
    Actually, «Apple», it would be very very easy to write a small script to convert this XML file into RTF or even better yet, have an option to read it back (recover) into Pages. Why don't you do this?? Really?
    Thanks,
    Gary

  • Text in Pages document won't italicize

    When I highlight text on a Page document, and select 'i' to italicize the text, nothing happens!  Can anyone help please?

    It tells you in the Fonts panel.
    Tahoma has only Normal and Bold, neither in italics.
    Many applications fake the italic by making it lean on an angle, but that is not a true italic. Check well designed fonts and you will see the the italic takes on different letterforms.

  • Large Word document won't let me work

    I have a very large Word document (322.5 MB) that I need to work on. I think it has a number of pictures or other graphic items in it. I can open it but then Word doesn't respond. It doesn't say the program is not responding, but I can't do anything, even remove the pictures or break up the document into several smaller ones. Any ideas?

  • Saved pages documents won't open

    I have suddenly developed an issue with my "Pages" documents that have been saved.
    I am not able to open "any" of them. All but one is grayed out and will not open.
    This is something that just recently, as in the last few days,  has happened.
    I had several copies of my resume stored on my desk top that had been created and saved on
    a laptop computer using a MS Word program. I had been using them to download to job applications on line.
    They are not able to read the copies saved as a pages document.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Did you create your resumés in Pages '08?
    And have you upgraded recently to OSX 10.9 Mavericks and Pages 5.2?
    Because Pages 5.2 can not open Pages '08 files.
    However Pages '08 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder. Open the files with that.

  • Large cs3 document won't open in cs6

    Good morning,
    I have a 1.3gb catalogue that was created in InDesign cs3. I have now got cs6 and have tried to open the file but it keeps freezing on "converting data".
    On the odd occasion it crashes the pc almost instantly, on others it just seems to freeze or be making small progress for hours before eventually crashing the pc.
    The current scenario has the document being opened for 8hrs and it is about 30% along the progress bar.
    Is there anyway that I can improve the performance of this conversion?
    I am working on a windows pc with vista 64bit (which works with other documents fine), running with 6gb ram.
    Look forward to any advice.

    I can't find anyone with cs3 to open the file, we have a cs4 within the business but again with no joy in opening the file.
    A friend of mine has an old cs3 from their student days but I assume it won't let me activate the licence as it as a student / teacher licence and it probably was not deactivated from their old system, and I guess also it's just not the right thing to do...
    I have the file in PDF which could be a solution, albeit meaning I lose the edit ability of the old pages, but at least I can use these along side some new pages.
    otherwise there's going to be alot of work to replicate this old file in a newer version of ID.
    thanks for all your comments, I will let you know how I fair

  • Packaging large InDesign document - won't copy all links

    I'm trying to Package a 1,000-page InDesign document that has about 375 links for our archive. When I go through the packaging process, however, it only saves about a dozen images or so in the designated folder. Any ideas why it's not taking the time to resave and compile all of the images?

    What operating system specs; OS, RAM, available HDD, network or local?
    Which version of InDesign, are you fuuly patched?
