Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad

Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad 2. Document succesfully transferred as Pages document to computer, but Pages 2.0,2 wouldn;t open it. Version too old?

Pages 2 is iWork '06, two versions behind what the iOS Pages creates. You need to use Pages '09 which you can purchase from the Mac App Store as a stand-alone application or a retail box of the iWork '09 suite.

  • Cannot open, share or download Pages document from iPad or iCloud

    Hi,
    My girlfriend's sister is having some trouble where one specific pages document will not open and we cannot do anything with it (i.e. open, save as PDF, email as word file etc).
    In iCloud you get the error "You need a newer version of pages to open this document".
    On the iPad, error is "Document can't be opened".
    She has pages version 1.7.2 on the iPad which is the latest version in the Apple Store.
    I managed to get a pages file (or package) onto my PC to have a look at it and it is in the form of a folder called "name.pages-tef" and inside are the following:
    If I open Index.db with notepad I can see her notes but they're surrounded by copious amounts of nonsensical code. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

    The following link gets into the real details of the different file formats for Pages documents (there are three versions).  The "-tef" file format is specifically for iOS and is translated to a mac format when using the file on a mac.  One question is how was the file created?  On a mac or on the ipad?
    At any rate, around half way through the article is the beginning discussion of the -tef format.  This may explain some of your issues.

  • Transfer pages document from iPad to iPhone

    I just bought an ipad 2, WiFi only edition. Shortly I will embark on a trip to relatively the middle of nowhere, where I do have Edge (maybe 3G) but no WiFi (and no PC/Mac). I would like to be able to create simple documents in Pages on the iPad, and subsequently transfer that to my iPhone, so I can email this using 2-3G. Would this possible with an accessory, or even bluetooth, with or without a 3rd party app?
    Thanks for any help.

    You didn't say what model phone you have, but if you have the availability of the hotspot on your phone, you may want to turn it on for the trip and then drop it when you return home. Other than that, finding a restaurant, coffee shop etc with wifi is the way to get it done. I can't think of a third party app that will do what you want.....

  • Pages doesn't open (iCloud) documents

    Pages on my iMac doesn't open my documents stored in iCloud. However, I can drag documents from iCloud to my desktop, then open them with Pages and save them in iCloud. Then I can't open them again..
    My Macbook Air doesn't have any problems, it just works
    I tried deleting some .plist files and reinstalling Pages, but no luck.
    I'm getting sick of this problem and it's ruining my productivity. I hope someone knows the solution to this problem.

    I have Pages ’09 v4.3 on OS X 10.8.4.
    I just created a new blank document in the beta iCloud Pages. I then launched Pages in OS X and opened some boiler-plate latin text in a local Pages document. I copied and pasted this from OS X to the open blank document in the beta iCloud Pages. Next, I opened the Media tool in Pages v4.3 and dragged an image from there onto the iCloud Pages document and dropped it. I was then able to resize and position it with latin text flowing around it.
    As there is no save/save as... ability in the iCloud Pages beta, I clicked on the blank icon and it updated. I then clicked on the name and changed it from Blank to another name.
    Back in Pages v4.3, I chose the open dialog and switched it to iCloud. There was the document that I had created with the beta iCloud Pages. I selected it and was immediately opened in Pages v4.3. Then, locally in Pages v4.3, I selected another image and dragged and resized it in Pages v4.3. I saved it and watched it immediately update in the beta iCloud Pages document panel.
    I was able to create a PDF in beta iCloud Pages and email it to myself. I was able to download the Pages document created in beta iCloud to my hard drive without dragging and dropping it.
    I do not appear to be having issues creating, interacting, saving, updating, or emailing content from beta iCloud Pages, or between my version of OS X Pages and the beta iCloud version.

  • Open Pages documents from an older version

    I need to open Pages documents from an older version of Pages that I saved to an external drive from a computer that I no longer have access to.  My current operating system is 10.7.5 and I can't upgrade it right now.  I see that Pages 5.0 requires 10.10 or higher and I can't find older versions to download and from what I've read, it doesn't sound like I'd be able to open the old documents with the new version anyway.  I really need these documents. What can I do?

    I found it helpful to convert all my old Pages '08 files to .doc files.  They can be opened by the new version of Pages.
    Since the new version of Pages is no longer back compatible, and so not good for anything you want to keep for a long time, you might consider using an open source word processing application like Libra Office.  That's what I had to do.  After seven years of being a happy Pages user - archiving thousands of files in Pages -Apple has abandoned us.  I no longer think it is wise to use the new Pages and then five years down the road (or sooner) not to be able to open them in a newer version.
    If you would like a quick way to convert your Pages '08 files to .doc, let me know.

    Pages crashes when opening any document on iPad 3 Latest version. I tried everything I could find on the net and finally deleted Pages from my device and reinstalled it. Still when I try to create a new document or open a document it just crashes out.

    Try this:
    Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • How do I open a Pages document from a newer version?

    I have an iMac and MacBook Pro.  Apparently the Pages program I'm using on the iMac is older though I'm sure I updated it.  Pages documents from the MacBook will not open on the iMac.  Can anyone help?

    Hi Peter
    Please, don't play the fool this way.
    You perfectly know that the "Save a Copy as…" is available in Lion.
    It was described here several times

  • When I try to open a document from my file on Mac OS X the following message appears, with the Bluetooth logo: 'SELECT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE ....Select a device to send file ...' I then have to go to the source of the document, e.g. Pages, to open the file.

    When I try to open a document from my file on Mac OS X the following message appears, with the Bluetooth logo: 'SELECT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE ....Select a device to send file ...' I then have to go to the source of the document, (e.g. Pages), to open the file. Please could someone help?

    The Get Info dialog should look something like this:
    The "Change All" button should be at the bottom of the "Open With" section.  This is how it appears in Snow Leopard.  Other OSX versions many be slightly different.
    If something is changing the setting back to something else you may have a deeper problem than I am able to help you with.  What is appearing in the Open with area before you correct it?
    If the problem is still persisting, instead of double clicking on the file to open it, try right or control clicking and then select Open With and choose the proper app from the list.

  • Getting Pages document from Mac to Pages on iPad

    I have been trying to import Pages documents from my Mac to my iPad throughh iTunes and I'm having no success. I go to apps in iTunes and under file sharing Pages shows up. I click add and navigate to the file. It seems to do something but when I go to Pages on the iPad it isn't there. However in iTunes I can still copy it back to my computer from the iPad even though it couldn't be found on the iPad itself. Also I thought that the tutorial document should be visible in iTunes as well where the file sharing is but it doesn't show up either. This situation also occurs with Numbers and Keynote as well. Any ideas?

    On the iPad open Pages and go to the screen where all your Pages document are... You will see a folder in the upper right. Click on that folder you should find your imported Pages document. Click on the document and it will import to Pages. The same holds true with keynote and numbers.
    You can delete the document from that folder if you don't need to import it again...this will save space on your iPad.

  • What di I need on a Mac Mini to import Pages documents from an iPad-mini

    What do I need on my MacMini to import Pages documents from an iPad-mini?

    Plug in your iPad mini to the Mac mini. Open iTunes on the Mac. Select your iPad from the sidebar on the left. At the top, where it says "Summary," etc. choose Apps. Scroll down until you see a section for File Sharing. Find Pages. Select the document on the right. In the bottom right corner, select "Save to..." and choose where on your computer you want to save it.

  • How can I retrieve a Pages document from iCloud onto my iPhone?

    I create Pages documents on my computer, and then store them in iCloud Drive. (I don't use Pages for iCloud beta; I create them with Pages on my Mac, and then upload them to iCloud Drive.) I would like to be able to retrieve those documents on my iPhone. Is that possible? I think I have all the settings right in Settings: iCloud Drive is on. Within that, Pages is on. When I go to the Pages app on my phone, all I seem able to do is create documents (which then appear in iCloud in my Mac, which is good.) But I cannot get to the documents that I have stored in iCloud by using my computer. Maddeningly, I cannot seem to find an answer to this anywhere. Is it not possible to do what I want to do?
    Thank you very much.

    Yes it is possible -- but I don't have much help for why it isn't working for you. I just tried saving 2 documents from Pages version 5.5.1 on my Mac and was able to open the document from Pages on my iPhone. The only things I can think of is to insure both are using the same Apple ID and that when you save on the Mac your save dialog is set to save to Pages - iCloud or to iCloud Drive.

  • How can I retrieve my pages documents from another account in the iCloud

    I was using pages in my ipad. Then I bought a Mac Pro and signes with a new iCloud account. In order to sync it with my ipad I deleite the previous iCloud account from the divise and started it with the new account. I previously choose to keep all the documenta before deleten the account.
    Now when opened pages I can not see any of my previous doccuments

    You'll need to copy the Pages documents from the old iCloud account to the new one.  To do this, go to iCloud.com from your Mac and sign into the old account.  Launch Pages beta and confirm that your documents are still there.  Assuming they are, select them, then click the gear icon on the menu bar and choose Download Documents and choose the Pages format.  This will download copies of the documents to your Mac.  Drag the downloaded documents to your desktop and double-click on them to extract them from the .zip files.  Next, sign out on iCloud.com and sign back into your new iCloud account.  Launch Pages beta in the new account, then drag and drop the documents from your desktop to the Pages beta window to upload them to the new account.  You can now access the documents from devices signed into your new account.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
