One of my Pages documents is corrupted and won't open...how to save the file?

We have the new iPad 3, and Pages. My friend was working on adding pictures to a document we're writing, and then the next day (or the same day) we tried to re-open the file and the app crashed, every time. We cannot share, send to itunes, email, or do anything with the file, and any attempt to open it crashes Pages. On iCloud.com, the file fails to download every time, whatever the format selected. And I have most of this file (without the pictures/edits) on her PC from the old Word days, but I'm trying to recover the Pages/iPad version with all the pictures in it.
We have the newest iPad, updated iOS, and the newest Pages update (1.6.1 i think it is).
I have only two or three guesses as to what the problem could be:
-My friend sometimes doesn't remember to delete pictures before adding a picture in it's place (you know, if you add a picture in a certain spot and then decide to replace the picture for a better one), so there may be 8 or 9 pictures stacked on top of each other in one place. Maybe all that rendering is jamming up the app on this particular file. Other files we've worked on with/without pictures open fine.
-The storage is full, so it's acting up like anything else does. We're new with the iPad so we haven't figured out what to do with photos and whatnot. My Mac is configured for my other documents and my appleid/icloud, and this iPad is on my friend's appleid, so I'll have to see about what I can do to back up to her PC.
-There's a problem with Pages 1.6.1 (which I've seen written around the web).
Any suggestions as to what the cause, or more importantly, solutions might be? I'm backing up everything else I can externally so restoring is an option. Also, I'm lucky enough NOT to have deleted the old Pages 1.6 file in her Recycle Bin, so I have that app file on her desktop. I'm not sure whether I should try deleting the app out of itunes/the iPad, and then see about dragging the old Pages back in, or what that will do to the important files (especially the corrupted one).
Any advice would be helpful, even if I have to buy a recovery app of some kind. Advice on how to avoid the issue or report it to Apple would also be helpful!
P.S. I already called AppleCare and they said something to the effect of they'll try something, eventually, they're not sure, etc etc.

Try:                                               
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable       
- Try on another computer                                                       
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I want to use Get Panel Image in Labview 5.0.1 and need details on how to save the BMP data generated

    I am trying to generate an application that saves a copy of its front panel on completion. This is easy to do using an invoke node with Print VI to HTML but this does not work in an .exe format. I have seen elsewhere that you have to use the Get Panel Image method, but no details are supplied in LV 5.0.1 documentation of how to use the "image" data (1-D Unsigned Byte array) that is generated. I want to save this in a format that can then be read as a bitmap in any standard graphics package. Any assistance?

    Hi,
    If you'd upgrade to LV5.1 or 6 you could use the 'standard' vi's for this.
    You need a VI called "Write BMP File.vi". It's not shipped with LV5.0.1.
    This vi only uses 3 subVI's, so perhaps someone at NI can convert it and
    send it to you (sorry, I won't, it's copywrited).
    If you cannot get this VI anywhere, you'll need to figure out the BMP file
    format yourself. It's not too complicated, but still could take some days.
    Perhaps someone figured it out before LV5.1 was released.
    Regards,
    Wiebe.

  • I just wrote over a pages document by mistake and then saved it, can I find the older version somewhere?

    I just wrote over a pages document and saved it by mistake, can I find the older version of the document?

    What exactly do you mean when you say "You Wrote Over a Pages Document"?
    Did you highlight the text in the document and then start typing?
    Did you use some type of Insert function to erase the text already in the document as you type the new text?
    If you dodn't do either of those things more then likely all the text that was original in that document is still there, just on another page.
    If you did do one of the above it is gone, Bye Bye, See you later.

  • Updated mac to maverick and all my files from pages have greyed out and won't open ?

    I use pages and also save a PDF when ive typed a document I updated to Maverick and all my pages and pdfs from before I updated have greyed out and I cannot open them help please

    thank you Eric, but any of those solutions works because on Maverick the options on itunes: "Tap on the Info pane, then De-select the option to Sync Notes" is not longer available.   Also, I have tried all those steps about de-select sync notes on iphone and mac.  I need a solution that consider working on Maverick.

  • I am having problems opening pages in safari. the rotating wheel at the right end of the address window doesn't stop even after the page has filled up. then if i try to open other pages it gets stuck and won't open them.

    I started having problems opening pages today. When first open a page it seems to download the page OK, but the rotating wheel on the right-hand end of the address field keeps rotating after the page is completely filled up. Then if I try to open other pages it becomes slower and eventually stops filling-in the pages, while the rotating wheel keeps rotating.
    I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac, or what is going on. Help will be geatly appreciated.

    When was the last time you emptied the Safari cache?
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    If that didn't make a difference, go back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
    And how much free space on the startup disk?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space. Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
    If emptying cache or resetting didn't help and there's enough free space on the startup disk, login to another user account, launch Safari. Same problems there indicates a system wide problem. Log back into your admin account so you can check the startup disk.
    Launch Disk Utility. /Applications/Utilities
    Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
    I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac
    Nothing should "download" to your Mac unless you initiate the download yourself. You can check the Downloads folder from the Safari > Window menu or your Downloads folder in the Finder.

  • I can't open my work web site it lets me go right to the login page and won't open how can I fix this

    I can't open my work web site it let's me go to the login page then it won't go any further how do I fix this

    To see whether this problem is caused by the new HTML5 parser feature in Firefox 4, you can turn it off like this:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''html5''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''html5.parser.enable''' to toggle it to false (it will turn bold).
    Then return to your work site and reload the page.
    Does that make any difference? If so, you can leave it that way. If not, you might as well switch it back (double-click that preference again to toggle it back to true.)
    If not, and you need to roll back, here's the process:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 4.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
    Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

  • Disc Icon has padlock, and won't open, How do I unlock it?

    I have 4 internal Hard drives and two external drives. I had to re-install my Mac OS 10.6.8. Now on of the Internal drives and one of the external (the one that contains my Time Machine Backups) have a padlock on the desktop icon. I get the message "The folder "___" can't be opened because you don't have permission tp see its contents". In the "Get Info" window, It doesn't matter whether the "Ignore ownrship on this volume" is checked or not. Under "Sharing & Permissions", it says "You have custom access". All of the Account Names say "Custom" under "Privilege", and can't be changed. What is going on, and how do I fix it?

  • My I phone6 is black and won't open how do I fix it

    MMy iphone6 has gone black how do I restart it

    All you need to do to solve this problem is to hold down the lock and home buttons at the same time and count slowly to 15. That's called a hard reset and it should reboot the phone out of the black screen funk. Give it a try - it should work. If it doesn't, bring it to the Apple Store. Good luck!

  • My sister's iPad Mini is not working, she was charging it and two of my niece used it, now it is not working and won't open, how can we fix it?

    We don't know what to do! We are kinda panicking cuz the iPad Mini of my sister is not working!

    When you press and hold the sleep/wake button on the side of the iPad does anything happen at all? Anything show up on the screen?
    Also try the first thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • I dragged my notes from one iCloud account to another iCloud account and they disappeared.  How do I find them?

    I dragged my notes from one iCloud account to another iCloud account and they disappeared.  How do I find them?

    Hello reallilybart,
    Thank you for the question. You can export the calendar events from your previous iCloud account and then import them into your new iCloud account.
    First, use these steps to export your events from your original account and make note of where you save the file to:
    Export a calendar’s events
    In Calendar, click the calendar’s name.If you don’t see your calendars, click Calendars.
    Choose File > Export > Export.
    Choose a location for the file, and then click Export. The events are exported in an iCalendar (.ics) file.
    Next, quit the Calendar application, and log out of your original iCloud account in System Preferences > iCloud.  Then log in with your new iCloud account and open Calendar.  The final step is to import the file into the calendar for your new iCloud account
    Use these steps to import the calendar events:
    Import events into a calendar
    If you want, create a new calendar for the events.Add or delete a calendar
    Choose File > Import > Import.
    Locate and select the calendar file that contains the events, and then click Import.
    Choose the calendar you created or another calendar to add the events to.
    You can also drag a .ics file to Calendar. The events in the file are added to the calendar that’s highlighted in the Calendar list.
