Pages 5.0 will not save documents created in Pages 09

I have hundreds of important documents I created and saved in Pages 09. I got a new Mac Mini running Mavericks 10.9.5 with the new Pages 5.0. The new Pages will not save my Pages 09 documents. Pages 09 will not save them either. Help!

1. Is it possible you installed from a demo installer and your 30 day trial period is up, when it goes into Read Only mode?
2. Where and what was your purchased disk?
3. Where are you saving to?
4. Have you tried saving somewhere else eg an external hard drive and see what happens then?
5. The auto-saving issue with Pages 5.2.2 could be problems with iCloud and online access.

My hp 100 mobile printer will only print one page then quits. will not print all of the pages.

my hp 100 mobile printer will only print one page then quits. will not print all of the pages. i have rebooted, new install, and reset. still the same thing. when i look it shows that it is printing but there is nothing happing. i use this with my lap top.

Hello colt1,
Are you using Bluetooth or USB cable to connect to the printer? Did you install from the disc, or from the online program? When it sits there and doesn't print, does it eventually give error messages, lights flashing, etc.?
Thanks,

For some reason my 09' pages will not view documents created in Word 10' any suggestions?

For some reason my 09' Pages will not open any documents from 10' Word. It simply opens up blank. Any suggestions?

I updated my pages and os. I am currently running 09' pages and os 10.6.7. The link I gave you earlier was not correct. I have attached one I just opened up with microsoft word on another computer. My pages opens up but is blank. The link is below:
https://www.vendorportal.ecms.va.gov/FBODocumentServer/DocumentServer.aspx?Docum entId=191194&FileName=VA-255-11-RP-0197-0004000.doc
The only other thing is that word opened it up in compatibility mode and said that the document originated from the internet. Could this be something that is causing pages to not open? Thanks for all of your help.

Java script will not work after creating new page

I am using dreamweaver cs3 and have a java script to rotate a banner in a template. This script has worked fine in the past when I created pages in Dreamwever. Now the script works fine only when I test it in a template but when I try to upload to my ISP the script will no longer work. At first I thought it was the ISP made changes but the person who sits next to me running the same version of Dreamweaver can create a page and the java works. The java is placed in a template, tested by viewing in a brower and it works, however once I try to create a new page using the template the scriipt will not work. To get around this I have the person sitting next to me save my template and then I can create pages. Also if I save the template with my pc and it updates the pages created by the template the java will no longer work.
This is very frustrating as I cannot create or modify my template on this pc. What would prevent this from working?

OK - now we are on to something ..... the script on the template only contains:
function randomImages(){
if(counter == (imgs.length)){
    counter = 0;
MM_swapImage('rotator', '', imgs[counter++]);
setTimeout('randomImages()', delay);
However when I create a new page from the template with this javascript in it the code changes to:
function randomImages(){
if(counter == (imgs.length)){
    counter = 0;
MM_swapImage('rotator', '', imgs[counter++]imgs[i]);
function randomImages(){
if(counter == (imgs.length)){
    counter = 0;
MM_swapImage('rotator', '', imgs[counter++]);
setTimeout('randomImages()', delay);

Pages 4.9 will open Appleworks Documents, but I Pages 5 will not. What am I missing? or is the software just not as good as 4.9?

Pages 4.3 will open Appleworks Power PC Documents, but I Pages 5 will not. What am I missing? or is the software just not as good as 4.3?

"Some users have reported" is a mild way to put it. To answer your question "or is the software just not as good as 4.3?" more directly... it's only better in transparency between platforms. Everything else is pretty gutted. Dozens of features deleted, as listed occassionally in this long thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5468056?tstart=0
Oh, one other improvement- it DOES run faster, but then of course it would since it's so much more lightweight.

Clicking "page from template" does not allow me create new pages

I stared designing a site with the trial version of CS4. Of course it involved a lot of trial and error, creating a page and canceling it again etc. At last I was able to design the index page and a few other pages, but suddenly just about 7 days into the trial period, the template started looking different; not displaying the images and displaying the home page article in an improper way. I also discovered that I could not create new pages by selecting file\new. When the new document dialogue page opens and I select "page from template" and then select a site I am working on, nothing shows in the items list. I only see the message "no items". Moreover, the "create" (new page) button is no more a click-able area.
I even tried it by proceeding as if I wanted to design a new site. I click file\new\page from template\the site, but when it comes to the stage where I should select "2 column liquid, left sidebar, header and footer" after clicking “page from template” I don't see anything in the items column. It only tells me "no item."
I thought this problem was due to the fact that I was using the trial version and that the trial version was limited in the number of new pages I could create. So I bought the full version. Alas! I discovered that changed nothing. Right now am stuck. Do you have any suggestion?

I think you're are confusing DW Templates with CSS Page Designs and Starter Pages.
Templates are a DW proprietary device. They permit you to have sitewide elements such as common menus, headers and footers on all your pages along with Editable Regions for page specific content (i.e. the stuff that changes on every page).
DW Templates looks like this (notice the Template Editable Comments):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Latest version of pages (5.1) won't open documents created on pages (same version).

Just a week ago I worked on my documents with no problem.
Today, I can't open the documents anymore. I keep getting an error message requiring a newer version of pages.
I have removed and re-installed pages - no luck there.
I have only 1 version installed so the documents are not looking for an older version.
This is a new Macbook Pro Retina which is 1 month old.
I need to submit my work today.
Please help!
Thanks

1. You really should read the reviews, basically they warn you off Pages 5.
2. The whole story about the problems with Pages 5 are posted hundreds if not thousands of times in this forum.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 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.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
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 (OSX 10.9 & iOS7) and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 95 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.

IWeb will not let me create any pages after installing.

I had a hard drive crash and upon reformatting and reinstalling iLife iWeb opens up, but the new page "+" is grayed out. I've tried closing and creating a new site, but I can't add any pages or see any templates. Disk Utility repair permissions was done and it came up fine so there's something wrong here and I'm not sure what.

OK the tips in the other posting didn't apply as the website did not exist anymore and I could not create a new website at all. I tried the iPhoto tip and that didn't work so now I'm trying the manual download of the update, but iWeb has already been updated so I'm not sure that will work either.

You should be able to Save as: iWork 08, but i don't know how it works on Mountain Lion. On my Snow Leopard the Save as window has a part looking like this
Or you can send me the document if you are in a hurry and I save it as iwork 08 for you. Click on my blue name and you'll find my address.

Hi lv,
This may help. File > Export > PDF or Word or RTF.
At least that will save your work.

Document created in Pages 06 will no longer open with it!

I have a document created in Pages 06. I have the trial version of Pages 08, but it's run out of it's trial period. I just opened the document briefly to read it, and 08 opened it. I wanted to see it in 06, as I needed to change it and save it, but, once closed, if I try to open it with version 2, I get a message saying it needs a newer version to open it! Get Info makes it appear that I can open it with version 2 by selecting that, but in the end, I get the same error message. It's looking like I'm being forced into upgrading here! Any help? P.S. In Get Info window, I see that version 3 is marked "default." Perhaps if there were a way to change that, I'd be OK. But "changing all" in that same window does not fix the problem.

It would appear that you saved that document at least once with Pages 3/'08. Unless you marked the box to save in iWork '06 format, it will save in the current version. Changing would require opening it in Pages 3 & saving as iWork '06.
If it is only that one file, you can send it to me (zip/archive it first) & I will save it as Pages 2 & send it back. Click my name in blue next to this post. My public e-mail address is in the biography section. Just replace (AT) with @.

How do I save a document created in pages in iphoto?

How do I save a document created in pages in iphoto?

Thanks, I will try that process.
I used to be able to convert Pages document easily to iPhoto before I upgraded to Lion. Used to be able to go to: File > Print> PDF (bottom left corner of print dialog box)>Save as PDF to iPhoto.
Now if I do that I have option to save as PDF to iTunes but not to iPhoto.
The advantage of saving Pages to iPhoto was that it was very easy to send email of collages of photos created in Pages.

I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
SO...
When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
Many Thanks!

Safari it will not advance past the first page of a PDF Document

Running Safari 5.1 under Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a d MacBook Pro when I try to read a PDF document in Safari it will not advance past the first page. I get the first page of the document in the browser window. No navigation in the toolbar, the up, down, right and left arrows do nothing nor does the return/enter key.
