Well, standard things to try include testing: (1) in a different User account (e.g., Guest), (2) after starting up in Safe Mode.

Pages is being updated won't open on Mavericks

Hello everyone
I have a MacBook Pro and just updated to mavericks.
everything works accept Pages, it give me a nice error message saying
"Pages can not be opened while it is being updated"
that's all fine but it's been like that for weeks (since I don't use it often)
but I have a need for it and now I'm stuck.
the error box has the App logo on it -but in the ap store there is no sign up updating or need thereof
I bought it installed whil the computer along with numbers and keynote
numbers launches and Keynote Does the Same Thing!
I just discovered that.
and here is a strange happening:in the iWork Folder there are 3 programs: Keynote Pages and Numbers.
in the icons they show that little X in the top left corner like I could delete them from my iphone
and in the list form it has its size as a load bar where the size of numbers is 89.4 mb
ok that's a lot
anyone have any ideas?
thanks ASC! or AppleHeads?

Glad that fix worked for you, but I'm in a bit more of a pickle. Pages isn't paused, it's "installed" but with an "error" (see screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/0a1M3L0E0I1q).
The App Store says the app is installed, and there's no obvious option to uninstall it. I'm off to start manually removing bits and pieces. Seriously, Mavericks and the Apple suite of "work" apps is the biggest joke since Windows 95.
I'll update and reply once I've muddled thru a fix.

Pages 5.0.1 won't open .pages!

Hi!
My Pages 5.0.1 won't open some .pages file... created few days ago in this same app!
Couldn't open file 'Arabski ćwiczenia.pages'
OK
Of course also pages 09 doesn't open, this is pages 5 format.

Read up on the changes here:

One thing Pages does which Pages '09 doesn't do is Right to Left text such as Arabic.

After updating to yosemite aperture, pages, keynote and numbers won't open. tried to update via app store and it says apps not authorised on this account. apps were bought with the mac and have never missed an update before so why now?

You aren't likely to get an answer with that type of attitude. BTW, you are not contacting Apple on these forums. We are all volunteer end users just like you. If you want support, then call AppleCare and you can get one-on-one assistance.

Firefox just won't open! I tried reinstalling but with to no avail. It worked well until yesterday so I downloaded new ver.5 but still it won't open. :( Please help.

See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

Pages 8 launches but won't open files

I've purchased the family pack iWorks 8 and installed it on 3 of my macs. Two work flawlessly but my older G4 desktop is a problem. Numbers and Keynote work so far, but Pages doesn't. When I launch the program, it won't open a new file or any existing files; the "open" dialog box appears for a split second, then closes. It just sits there looking at me--useless and taunting. Any ideas?
I have a 1.4 GHz Sonnet processor upgrade: Might that be the problem?
After looking through more than 60 pages of topics without seeing anything similar, I'm not holding out much hope.

I just opened Console.app and then tried again to open Pages 8. One of the many strings of info regarding the opening of Pages reads: 12/7/07 2:30:20 PM Pages[614] * +[NSString stringWithCString:]: NULL cString .
This is clearly a problem and one for which I haven't the technical skills to manage. Any suggestions?

Pages 09 (4.3) won't open iCloud Pages 5 docs

Hi all. I'm running Pages 09 (4.3) on my MacBook Pro and Pages 5 on my iPad. The Mac won't open documents created on the iPad: it tells me I need a newer version. When I open the App Store, it says 'installed' and there's no option for a newer version (is there one?).
Any ideas? Thanks,
Aidan

If you are running the newest iOS version of Pages on your iPad, then only Pages 5.0 (Mavericks) can open those documents on your Mac.
Apple designed it this way.
Your only option is to EXPORT from your iPad version of Pages into a format from which you can then IMPORT on your Mac running pages 4.3.

Pages, Numbers and Keynote won't open

Trying to use Pages - latest version - on my Mac, but it won't open. Neither will Numbers or Keynote.
Tried to reinstall, but the computer said no go.

Applications that can store documents in iCloud include Preview, TextEdit, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, GarageBand, and some third-party software such as "DayOne," "iA Writer," "MindNode," and perhaps others. If some or all of those applications are suddenly not working well, there may be a problem with iCloud synchronization.
Back up all data.
Open the iCloud preference pane in System Preferences and uncheck the box marked Documents & Data. See whether there's any improvement. If there is, continue.
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. From the folder that opens, move this folder to the Desktop:
Mobile Documents (or any other item with a name beginning that way)
and move this folder to the Trash:
Application Support/Ubiquity
Re-enable Documents & Data, log out, log back in, and test. The folders should be recreated automatically. If the issue is resolved, delete the folder you moved to the Desktop.
If you continue to have the same problems, I suggest you contact iCloud Support.

After Effects splash page show loading but won't open

I have been using After Effects 7 for the last year and a half. Today it decided it didn't want to open. The splash page will come up and show everything loading but then the application itself won't open. I used it a couple of days ago and it was fine, so I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Your prefs got hosed. Yeah, it sucks, but deleting them should revive your AE. Stop by at
Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Adobe\After Effects\7.0
Application Data is by default an invisible directory, so check your Explorer folder view options first to show you all hidden files.

Pages App on Mac won't open documents created on iPad

My pages app on my mac wouldn't open documents created on my iPad, it said that I needed to down load the newest version which I belive I had. So I put it in the trash hoping I could re install but now I can't open it at all :-(

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 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 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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 removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Pages Version 4.1 won't open on ipad 2.1-HELP???

I am a pastor and have just completed my sermon for our FIRST CHURCH SERVICE SUNDAY...I have e-mailed the document from my MacBook Pro with Pages 4.1 to my ipad which latest version is 2.0.1 Freaking out right now, I see no way out, can anyone help me, PLEASE?!?!

I was unaware that Pages for iOS v2 doesn't open older Pages '09 files.
If you use iCloud it should convert the Pages '09 to Pages 5 which it does read but will unfortunately make it impossible to open on your Mac.
Have you tried eMailing it as a Word docx?

Pages App on iPad Won't Open Document

After yesterday's update on the Pages App, I'm unable to open up new documents on my iPad. Is there a bud in the update or what? Is there a solution?

try closing the pages app
double tap home button to reveal task bar
swipe screen till you see large icon image of pages app. Swipe up and off screen to close
tap home button to return
open pages again and see if that helps
or try this
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 (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).

Mac app store won't open in mavericks OSX

I had a power outage and it seems that since then, my OSX Mavericks on my iMAC won't open so I can't update my OS to Yosemite. Can anybody help?? I have tried running permissions check and repair and still no luck. I even did the safe mode bit and tried to run the upgrade or do the disk permissions and still no luck. I don't have time machine so I can't restore.

If you haven't done so already, make a backup. Then, boot into your recovery volume and repair your startup disk. Don't attempt to update until your Mac exhibits zero problems.

Mac,
Nothing shows up here?

With CS5 you must have registered, hopefully under your present Adobe ID.
I am afraid the chat and phone support are off until the beginning of January.
