Open Recent function won't work after Mountain Lion updates

I recently did a fresh install of mountain lion (after using snow leopard for years). iWork, which came with my MacBook Pro worked great, until the update. Obviously I had to do a fresh install of iWork 09 from the CD I had. I then updated iWork through the software update. Now running pages 4.3 etc.
However, for pages and numbers I can't get the Open Recent function to work. It's just empty, no matter how many docs I've opened or worked on.
Any tips??
Thanks in advance for any assitance.

Menu > Pages > Preferences > General Preferences > For New Documents: check Show Template Chooser
When you now open Pages it will show you an open dialog with the option to look for those files either in your iCloud folder or on the regualr place on your Mac.
Personally I prefer the File Menu > Recent.

  • Why do gestures stop working after Mountain Lion update?

    I've just installed Mountain Lion on my MBP, and soon after a reboot, gestures stop working.
    Rebooting fixes this, at least temporarily. But soon afterwards I can't switch between screens with three finger swipe etc.
    Yes, gestures are enabled in preferences.
    Any clues?

    Having same issue with iMac and Magic Mouse.
    I found that Mission Control stopped working as well (even with the App shortcut in Applications) and as such found a quicker workaround than login / logout.  Open Terminal and type:
    killall Dock
    This will restart the Dock and Mission Control etc and seems to restore the gestures.
    Cheers

  • Facetime not working after Mountain Lion update

    I have a Macbook Pro. After I updated to Mountain Lion (from Lion), Facetime no longer works. I've tried with multiple people, but they aren't receiving my calls and I'm not receiving their calls. In Lion Facetime worked fine, but now it's not working. I also can't get iMessages to work. This is very frustrating, because I was really looking forward to iMessages. My Macbook Pro is still new, I purchased it in the first week August (2012). It came with Lion already installed. It's only 2 months old now. So I know my computer can support all of Mountain Lion's features. By the way, I'm running on Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Any help would be great! Thanks

    Hi,
    The two may be linked as there is a common support app called IMAgent that helps with both Messages and FaceTime.
    Shut down both apps.
    With the Finder as the Front App > use the Go Menu > Hold down ALT key and select Library.
    In the Library find and open th Preferences Folder
    Find com.apple.IMAgent.plist and drag it to the Trash
    Before restarting the App now go to Activity Monitor in Applications/Utilities.
    Find imagent (it  is in lower case).
    Highlight and use the Quit button.
    Now restart the app(s).
    This will recreate the .plist  from defaults.

  • HT1338 early 2012 macbook air clamshell mode not working after mountain lion update

    Can't make 2012 MBA 13" work in clamshell mode after updating to Mountain Lion.  All peripheral devices are connected, as is AC power.  Closing lid causes external monitor to enter sleep mode (presumably, the MBA is going to sleep as well).
    Power settings are set to stay awake when on AC power.
    Thank you.

  • Microsoft Office 2011 won't work with Mountain Lion update

    I have an early 2011 version Macbook Pro.  Until yesterday I have been running Lion, I updated to Mountain Lion last night and now my Microsoft Office 2011 won't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    When I try to open any MS Office program or file I get an error message that reads "Microsoft Office cannot open because of a problem.  Check with the developer to make sure Microsoft (Outlook, Word etc.) works with this version of OS X you may need to reinstall the application..."  the problem is I bought this Mac used and I don't have the disc to reinstall the application.   I've gone to the MS Office 2011 Mac website and downloaded a service pack and an update (the only two things available to me) but that still doesn't help.  Where would I find the update you are describing?

  • Speakers no longer work after Mountain Lion update.

    After my update of Mountain Lion my speakers in my macbook pro no longer work.  The speaker symbol is grey and the volume can't be moved.  Anyone else have this issue?

    Seems there is no real solution to this problem. If you have a time machine backup you can go back to 10.7.2.
    Since I did the clean install of 10.7.2, I don't have any audio problems. My MacBook Pro now runs smoothly. I guess I stick with 10.7.2 until 10.7.4 is released.
    You can also try some of these suggstions: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3705456?start=15&tstart=0
    Hope you get your audio working.

  • 2010 Mini superdrive has stopped working after Mountain Lion update - anyone else?

    After updating to 10.8 the superdrive on my 2010 mini has completely stopped working. It will not accept any disks. Disk Utility sees the drive as a working drive. Anyone else having this issue? If yes and you've resolved it, how??

    Same thing happened to me with Mountain Lion. It seems that at the moment there's no solution. I've tried to burn a DVD with Toast Titanium, iDVD and the SimplyBurn. All of them failed.
    It's a shame that Apple did this because we pay for a computer with a drive that could burn DVD discs. I´m very, very disappointed with Apple!

  • IPhoto won't load after Mountain Lion update

    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my iPhoto will not open. The error message says I need to update my library in Aperature. I've opened the Library in Aperature but I get the same message when trying to open iPhoto again. Is there a way to reinstall iPhoto? Will that even help? 

    I had the same issue with each of iPhoto, Google Chrome, and the Kindle app.  Saw on another thread w/r/t the iPhoto issue, a recommendation to re-install Mountain Lion.  I did that, and now all 3 of those programs are working just fine.

  • Trackpad click not working after Mountain Lion update

    I updated computer in question, a 2009 MacBook, to Mountain Lion today, and it appeared to work.  It installed, then I was prompted with a log-in screen. I entered my Apple ID and password, but was unable to click go. Easily hit enter instead; this worked.  The next screen, however is a Terms and Conditions one with only the options of "Back" and "Next." I cannot click on either of these.  The mouse moves around perfectly when I use the track pad, but I am unable to choose anything by clicking and therefore cannot get past this screen and to my computer. Any help?? Thank you!

  • My Word, Excel, and powerpoint won't work with mountain lion

    My Word, Excel, and powerpoint won't work with mountain lion.
    Just upgraded, and my icons are question marks.

    Is the upgrade free? That depends, if you have a more recent version of Word, Excel and Powerpoint, then probably yes, but if not, nope, it'll cost you. Try M$ (micro$oft for that). However, might I suggest, humbly, that you try OpenOffice or NeoOffice. I used it to open up a powerpoint presentation and it did fine, plus the price is right

  • After Mountain Lion update, i can't access Facebook and Hotmail websites

    When I was with the OSX Lion, everything was fine.
    After Mountain Lion update, i can't open Facebook and Hotmail websites.
    I already reinstalled the Mountain Lion, but the error still happens. The only way to open these websites is with the private navigation.
    Please, help me.

    From your Safari menu bar (top of your screen) click Safari > Preferernces then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    If you still have problems with Facebook, go to the Facebook page then click the downward facing arrow to the right of Home then click Account Settings.
    Select Security on the left then click Secure Browsing.
    Select the box next to: Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) when possiblle then click Save Changes.

  • SD Card not showing after Mountain Lion Update

    This matter has been discussed for some time now in
    Apple Support Communities > Desktop Computers > iMac (Intel) > Discussions
    SD Card not showing after Mountain lion Update
    Since the update to Mountain Lion, the SD slot does not show up in Finder.
    Someone gave a fix using the killall in Terminal, and that worked only once.  I have not been able to get that fix to work again.
    The only saving grace for me is that my SD Card us is always from my Nikon camera, and Nikon ViewNX 2 software is able to see and read from the card.
    Killall may have worked partially in that I no longer get the error message telling me that I have removed the SD card improperly, and need to dismount it first.
    However, Finder still cannot see it.

    Those are basics ... Been there, done that, first.
    Then you should hava posted all the troubleshooting you already accomplished.
    Does the card show up in System Information? Or is that another one of the "basics" you've already looked into?
    Does it show up in Disk Utility? If so, have you tried formatting it there to determine if it is a formatting problem?
