My mac will not open pages

Why is my mac not opening pages

I wasted last evening trying to open Pages on my MAC. Following the suggestions in these discussions I rebooted, deleated pages, reinstalled pages, removed pages from dock etc... Finally what worked...I emailed myself a pages document and clicked on it to opened it. I think doing that bypassed some problem in the program where it freezes as it first opens. I write this to save others from wasting time.

  • My mac will not open this specific website.

    Ok so I enjoy playing this game called rigs of rods. Very entertaining. Anyway all of a sudden my mac will not open this website no matter what I do. Every time it just times out and says can't connect to server. I know it isn't the website because I can access it on my phone over 4g and over the same wifi network that my mac is on. I have reset safari and logged into the guest account and it still wont work. The only way I have gotten the site to work was by using a IP blocker or booting into safe mode and using safari. I have tried to use 3 different browsers and none will work. I'm almost for sure it has to do with my network settings but I cant figure it out. Help would be greatly appreciated as this is getting very frustrating.

    Since you're running Lion, just try a new system install - it won't affect your data or apps, but you should, anyway, have a backup regardless.
    Boot to your Recovery partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting. At the Recovery window, first repair permissions again, then verify and, if necessary, repair your hard drive. Then quite Disk Utility and elect to reinstall the OS anew - it will only overwrite system files and the like, not touching your data, apps, etc. It may take awhile to complete.
    After completion, reboot and see if the problem still exists. If it does, I'm just at a loss...

  • Hi, App Store tells me I have installed the latest Pages update, yet it will not open Pages docs created on other machines that DO have the latest version . Any tips?

    Hi
    Pages 5.0 and 10.9.
    While App Store tells me there is no update avalable to Pages, which it says was installed Nov. 4, its the old Avatar/logo thingo and, as I say, it will not open the Pages docs created on my MacBook, which definiitely does have the new Pages running smoothly.
    cheers

  • My mac will not open the adobe reader, it shows a foreign language in the response box when I try to open up something from the internet?

    Please help, My Mac will not open when I rtry to download something from the internet, a box with foreign language appears in the textbox?

    I have seen this a couple of times over the last few days here in the forum; the Reader 11.0.7 plugin for Mac displays the message in Japanese.  Here is the English translation.
    Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement then quit and relaunch the browser.
    Do it, and the message will disappear.

  • Mac will not open iCloud "Documents" - No Errors

    Hello,
    Over the past few days, I have noticed that my iCloud documents will not open on my Mac.
    I am able to edit them on my iOS devices. (via Numbers, Pages, Keynote for example)
    I am able to Save new documents to my "iCloud"
    I am NOT able to open the new documents from my iCloud
    I am able to edit the new documents on my iOS devices
    I am able to save new documents to my local machine
    I am able to open the new documents from my locla machine
    I have not made any preference changes to the system.  The only way I am eventually able to OPEN iCloud documents, is by completely restarting the system.  Then it works, at least for the first few times I have tried.
    Any thoughts as to how to root cause?
    j

    I am not sure why this works, but it worked for me.
    The behavior I am experiencing happens when I open Numbers for the first time, I am prompted with the open dialog box.  If I attempt to open a file from my icloud in that dialog, I am unable to open any document, i.e. this is the behavior I am experiencing.
    I opened a file from my local machine
    Left the file open from my local machine
    I then used File- > Open and chose a a file from iCloud
    The iCloud document opened successfully.

  • Pages 4.3 will not open Pages 5.0.1

    Documents from my wife's new MacBook Pro with Mavericks and Pages 5.0.1 will not open on my recently purchased iMac with Mountain Lion and Pages 4.3.  I really don't want to upgrade my iMac to Mavericks and the newer Pages until some ot the Mavericks bugs are resolved. Any way around this problem?

  • Safari will not open page

    i have a page that will not open in safari but does open on another computer with explorer. i created a domain and forwarded it to an existing site. i cannot get the site to open thru the created domain. the site I'm trying to open is www.TexasEnergyPays.com. the site it's forwarded to www.reyr.igniteinc.biz.
    if i type www.TexasEnergyPays.com in the browser, the screen just turns white.
    if I type www.reyr.igniteinc.biz in the browser, it works just fine.
    any idea on what could be the problem. this is really ticking me off.

    thanks for the help. the only problem is i'm a little computer ignorant.
    on the w3c standards, is that for the website itself or the domain i created? I don't have a problem logging in to the website by typing www.reyr.igniteinc.biz in the browser. the problem is with the domain i created and forwarded to that site. i bought the domain from godaddy.com and used their forwarding service provided. i've tried it in both 301 and 302.

  • Will not open pages

    Pages created in mOuntain lion will not open in 10.6.8 on second computer.

    Milton,
    As with many application upgrades, new version's documents can't be opened in old versions of the app. Also as with many application upgrades, there is a downgrade path by way of Exporting to the old format. Pages can downgrade one level, to Pages 4. Pages 3 and earlier formats are not supported via export from Pages 5.

    This can be a real pain in the butt. You best read this, figure out what you did wrong, and don't do it again. Hows that for compatibility eh?
