Pages 5.1 error when trying to open documents

Hey everyone,
So I'm running Pages 5.1 and today, for the first time and seemingly out of nowhere, Pages has decided it will not open any files I have stored in iCloud or saved to my desktop barring one exception. If I send a document from iCloud via iMessage to myself (on my iPhone) and open it on my Mac, Pages opens it. Any other .pages file will not open and provides the error "The file "Document Name" could not be opened" with no explanation. It appears there are more than a few of you experiencing the same issue. Anyone have any luck?
Now, PeterBreis0807, before you paste in your form response that I've seen all over the discussion forums I would like ot say that I am aware of the difference between Pages 5.1 and Pages 5 and Pages '09 and all of my documents are updated to the current standard and open and are editable on my iPhone and iPad and up until this evening were openable and editable on my iMac too. The only way I can get Pages 5.1 on my iMac to open a .pages file (one that has been opened on my iMac in Pages 5/5.1 previously and recently) is to send it to myself in an iMessage (or possibly an email, I haven't tried that) and extract the file from the .zip that iOS houses it in when sending via iMessage before opening it in Pages 5.1. Then the document is editable and and I can save it and everything. As soon as I close the document and try to open it again, "The file "Document Name" could not be openend".
What. Gives?

I was not going to post that because you made it clear what you were dealing with. For most people it is the 2 versions problem (amazingly they don't notice the obvious differences).
You have given a work around which we can suggest to the next person to have the problem.
Beyond that, all I can say is Pages 5.1 is extremely buggy and I would not trust it for any real work. I just play with it and answer posters' queries.
I have no doubts as to what the root of the problem is, and that is the complexity of what both Apple is attempting to do and the file format with which they are doing it. They are not meet their own KISS standards and inevitably the house of cards topples every time someone opens the door.
Why are you persisting with Pages 5.1? That's inviting trouble.

  • C020 errors when trying to open documents after Mass Document Operation

    I am in the process of changing security rights (adding a user to all
    documents) using the Mass Document Operation, the following is now
    occuring:
    - A user tries to open a document in the Library that was in process
    of MDO.
    - User gets a C020 error and is unable to open the document.
    (note - Document can be viewed with a R-Click on the
    Doc Reference)
    - The backend POA agent (version 6.5.7 by the way) shows the following

  • File not found error when tried to open Document ID settings page

    Hi
    when i open sitesettings>site collection administratin >Document
    ID settings
    it shows
    file not found error
    adil

    Hi,
    first we need to figure out the error. change the web.config so that you can see the error on browser
    1) Obtain the complete call stack instead of the default error page:
    <SafeMode MaxControls="200" CallStack="false"/>
    to
    <SChangeafeMode MaxControls="200" CallStack="true"/>
    2) CustomeErrors mode value (in the system.web section) is set to Off:
    <customErrors mode="On">
    to
    <customErrors mode="Off">
    Change these value in "c:\inetpub\wssroot"  CA dirctory web.config and
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\web.config .
    now again try to do the action. you will get the error on screen.

  • On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document created from MAC

    Hi all,
    On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document in INDD format created from Mac. Error received "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by other application". I am currently using Adobe Indesign CC 9.2 Trial version.
    Kindly advise how can i open this document on windows platform and allows me to edit the document.
    Thanks!
    With Rgds,
    Fiona Choy

    Normally there is no problem to open any INDD opening on Windows, when created on the Mac.
    But Mac user are often not aware on the naming limitations. A file name must not contain /, \, |, :
    It should not contain any extended character, it is not a primary problem but will be, if something links to that file, so avoid also: ÄÖÜäöüß+&
    You can use all other non A-Z a-z, 0-9 and - and  _
    I personally would also recommend to avoid spaces.
    This is valid for the INDD file itself but also for all linked content.

  • I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

    I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

    I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
    I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
    I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

  • I just agreed to a update of iTunes and now I get a "language" error when trying to open it.

    I just agreed to an update of iTunes on my imac (running OS-X 10.8.4) and now I get an error when trying to open iTunes.  The error is: "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the English version."  What? 
    I'm not a tecchie and could really use some step-by-step instructions on how to get my Itunes working again!  I've never changed the language on my Mac...have no idea where this language error came from.
    Thanks!

    Check if this make sense to you
      Why, when I try
         to run a self-service application I see an error similar to "oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException:
         Application: FND, Message Name: FND_NO_REGION_CODE. Tokens: REGION =
         WFNTFWORKLISTFNPAGE; REGIONAPPLID = 601"?
    This can occur when the OS locale is set
    differently from the database locale. For example, if the OS locale setting is:
    LC_CTYPE=en_UK and the
    Oracle locale setting is: NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
    then you may see this error. To get around this error, in jserv.properties add
    the following line:
    wrapper.env.copy=NLS_LANG
    Though this is from the note related to 11i, it may help in you in getting to problem

    Did you change your JDK path by any chance? Also you are getting a strange error message. It is trying to point to both D:\OracleBIData\jobmanager and C:\OracleBIData\jobmanager. Is there anything that you changed prior to doing this?

  • Internal Server Error When Trying to Open Flex Builder Tutorials

    Anyone know what I need to set up to run the tutorials in
    Flex Builder - get an internal error server (500) when trying to
    open up the tutorials listed on the start page.
    I can open, compile and run projects .
    Thanks

    well thats a real vague error that IIS can spit out and it
    could mean anything. If you are using a server side script in
    conjunction with the tutorials for some reason that i would start
    by commenting it all out. If you are just getting that error when
    just trying to access a static html file that resides whithin your
    web root then i would open up IIS and check you permisions under
    your default web site for that folder.
