Pages 5.1 won't let me open any of my documents

When I try to open any document in Pages 5.1, it says I need a newer version of pages to open it, even if I created the document in Pages 5.1.  When I go to the App store, it says Pages 5.1 is installed. How can I open my documents?

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 5.01 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 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:

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
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.

    Hi,
    Shut down and reboot your iOS (press and hold the wake/sleep button and when prompted, slide to poweroff and then press and hold the wake/sleep button to reboot).
    Go look what had happen with your apps.  Maybe it's ok.  If not, tap and hold its icon and then tap the X to delete it from your iOS device and redownload it from the app store (no charge for that).
    Juste to let you know, your description state iPad2 but you are in the forum for iPod.

  • Everytime I open Firefox, I either get a not responding page or a new tab page that won't let me open any website.

    I am starting to get tired of not being able to use my Firefox web browser because everytime I do, it either opens and doesn't respond or it opens but it doesn't let me access any website or even my bookmarks.
    I am having to use Google Chrome (which I do not like) but I can't update anything because I am not using Firefox or Internet Explorer.

    Hi akadeejay,
    probably your Internet security software (firewall or/and antivirus, antispyware) preventing Firefox from connecting to internet, see:

  • HT202879 since updating pages 8 to pages 9 it won't let me open saved files saying they are too old ?

    I updated pages 08 to pages 09 but now if i have saved a document and try to open it it tells me the file can't be opened as it is too old. Does anyone know how to fix this ?

    You have tried to open a Pages 09 document in Pages 08. You have to be particular about which app you use for which document. Pages 09 will always try to be tha app to open all your Pages documents. The Pages icocn looks the same for both apps.

  • Firefox is not working for me. Specifically, my home page is my hotmail sign in page... and it will let me sign in & log out, but it won't let me open any messages, compose a message or switch between folders. Thanks.

    I tried downloading updates several times, several different days but I got a message saying it was up to date when I tried to install it. I've had problems for about a week on 2 different computers. I tried checking different features (on my desktop) but haven't had any luck getting it to work. IE will allow me to read messages on the same computer, so help.
    Actually today firefox won't pull up any website. I downloaded an update for adobe flash player today, hoping that would help but I think it made things worse.

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
    Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

  • My pages app won't let me open a password protected document on my ipad even though I'm using the correct password. Help?

    I've tried everything... Turning it off and on, rebooting, opening the document on iCloud... It continues to tell me the document "can't be opened". Help!! This is a really important document

    I'm not sure if this will help, but I had the same problem. My password was correct.... I was going crazy. One time I typed the password and automatically touched the space bar after the word before I hit " Done" and it worked. I'm not sure why a space is part of my password but that must have been how I set it like typing a sentence it's just automatic. Good luck!

  • Firefox won't let me open any other windows even my trusted sites what can I do to correct this?

    When I check my email there are bills and work sites I go to I know that they are trusted but each time I click on the link a message comes up saying Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. What can I do to stop this? It just isn't certain pages it is all of them I have to click the allow button on the right side of the page just to open the page. Because some of my game sites have pop up windows for the game I have unblock the pop up windows I have check everything else on my computer and all is working fine.

    Hello WhiteDove2043, try to UNCHECK the '''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page''', go from : Tools > Options > Advanced > General tab > Accessibility > Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page [ ]. Don't forget to click OK to save it.

  • My firefox won't let me open any tabs at all. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

    This happened a few weeks ago. I opened Firefox and hit command t and no tab opened. I then hit the little plus button and still no tab appeared. Finally, I went to the menu and clicked on new tab and still nothing appeared. I've never had this problem before. I've reset my computer multiple times, the application multiple times, and even done permission repair on my computer. It's interfering with my work so I really need to know how to fix this soon please.

    We have seen reports about a Community Toolbar extension causing this issue with not being able to open a new tab.
    So you can check your extensions: Tools > Add-ons > Extensions

    There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].

  • Pages won't let me print, save or export documents and tells me I need to buy I-Work

    I purchased Pages and it won't let me print, save or export documents. It keeps telling me I have to buy I-Work because my free trial is over.

    You have to delete the iWork trial first. Then install iWork or Pages again.
    You cannot completely delete iWork by moving the iWork '09 folder to the Trash. Instead, use Yvan Koenig's script:
              •          Go to http://www.box.com/s/00qnssoyeq2xvc22ra4k
              •          Choose public_YK > for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items
              •          Click on uninstall iWork '09.zip, decompress it, open it in AppleScript Editor and click the Run button

  • Ack! Finder won't let me open anything!

    Hey guys! I am having problems. Hope someone here can help!
    All of a sudden, the Finder won't let me open any folders. I click on the Hard Drive or folders and the desktop just kind of flashes (the icons disappear) and then it goes right back to normal. I tried opening things from the "Go" menu at the top and restarting the computer. It's still doing it. I can get to the documents through Safari if I "browse" for something, but I can't just double click on anything. It's weird. It just started today. No weird downloads or updates. It just happened.
    Any suggestions??

    Yep, I created a new account and the same thing still happens. What's going on? I don't have a backup yet. I've been looking into external hard drives, but haven't gotten one yet. Are you telling me I'm going to lose my stuff?
    don't panic just yet. You do have a more serious problem than I thought if it affects all accounts. BTW, have you repaired permissions? I should have asked that first. repair permissions and verify your hard drive. Once that's done, try booting in safe mode and see if the problem persists. to do that restart and at the chime hold the shift key. boot up will take longer than usual but it should boot you in safe mode eventually. see if finder works normally there.

  • How can I open a new page (using "Pages") when I already have another page open?  It just keeps reverting to the page I have opened already and won't let me open another one?

    To make a new document, go to File > New From Template chooser and choose the type of document you wish to create.
    To add a new page to an existing document go to Insert > Sections > Blank.
