Pages 5.2 doesn't want to open new documents

I've had Pages for several versions.  When I got this iMac last year it was updated with the new Pages and I'm on version 5.2.  I have some new documents done with this version but when clicking on a document in Finder to open them, I get the box that says I need to upgrade to Pages 5.2 which I already have done.  I can right click on the mouse and do an "Open With" and choose the default program which is Pages 5.2. 
How do I go about telling the computer I already have 5.2 and these new documents were written with that?  I checked any updates on the App Store and it says 5.2 is already installed.
I even created a new document in 5.2 and did a cut and paste from the older one, deleted it and renamed the new document and it still says I need 5.2

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:

    Zabanya,
    One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any, of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
    Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

    As far as I remember, the first one is for Win and the second one is for Mac, while the third one should be for both.

  • My upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12 was deleted by accident. The 2nd download doesn't want to open?

    In Aug I upgraded to Photoshop Elements 12. It worked fine but this week someone worked on my PC and deleted it by accident. Now I downloaded it again but it doesn't want to open?

    Alan
    If your program is Photoshop Elements 12, you have posted in the wrong forum. Somehow you thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum.
    Please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.
    Photoshop Elements
    While you do that something to think about....putting on my Photoshop Elements 12 hat for the moment...
    If you have Photoshop Elements 12 and are in its Elements Organizer 12 and you want to edit of of the Elements Organizer 12 photos in the Photoshop Elements 12 Editor, I do not
    find any right clicks in that maneuver. Have you tried...
    1. Select the Elements Organizer 12 thumbnail for the photo
    2. Look to the bottom of the workspace to where it shows an Editor button. Click on the tiny triangle to the right of the work Editor in the button.
    You should then get a pop up menu with choices of External Editor, Photoshop, Video Editor. click Photoshop. Does that work to get
    you into the Photoshop Elements 12 Editor workspace to edit that photo?

  • My iphoto froze...doesn't want to open. What do i do?

    My iphoto froze...doesn't want to open. What can i do?

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

  • I downloaded the recent Pages update but now I can not open some documents done last year.  I get an error saying that I need to download a newer version of Pages.  I am running version 4.3

    I downloaded the recent Pages update but now I can not open some documents done in the past year.  I get an error saying that I need to download a newer version of Pages.  I am running version 4.3.  Do I have to purchase an update of Pages?

    You are not on Mountain Lion anymore, right? You are on Mavericks and have downloaded Pages 5 and then created docuemnts in it which can't be opened in Pages 09.
    No, you don't have to buy a newer Pages but you have to be particular about which version you use.

  • Everytime I send an email in Outlook 2010, I get a message asking if I want to open Firefox Document E9B557DD-DAE3-4088-988A-9123DAC2AAC7.html. There are brackets around the number. It's extremely annoying.

It's extremely annoying. I had an issue with the latest version of WinZip, which I mistakenly downloaded and installed--it automatically zipped my files, which is not what I want it to do. I removed WinZip and reinstalled the older version, and then I started getting these messages. It also seems to be interfering with Outlook 2010 help--I get another message about downloading a Firefox document and it won't load.

  • Illustrator CC - CRASHES when creating/opening new document.

    My Illustrator CC crashes when:
    - when I open any *.ai file saved on my disk
    - when I try to create new file
    I can open the Illustrator (blank, without any document) but as soon as I want to open some document or create (File/New) it crashes immediatelly wit "Illustrator stopped responding" and it closes.
    I tried to reinstall it but it didnt help.
    I have brand new (got it for 10 days)  PC with Windows 8.1
    Yesterday Illustrator worked without a problem. Today it just can not run.
    Please help. Thank you

    Pablo,
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

    CS4 When I open new document I get a swatch pallet full of colors. Is there a way to open a new document with no colors in the swatch pallet?
    Thanks

    Search for New Document Profiles. Open each file that you regularly use and from the Action panel run the default action Delete Unused Panel Items. Save the file. You should now have empty swatch panels.

  • TS2430 my iphone shut down. it doesn't want to open. what do i need to do?

    iphone 4s shut down while my son is playing. i tried to on but it doesn't want to work. i need help.

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until it begins to start. Usually takes about 10 seconds. If still nothing, connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes. It may turn ON itself, if still OFF, keep on charger and Reset, it may take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.

  • I want to open a document in a link without having to save it first.

    When reading an email or looking at a web page I always have to save a document before I can open it. I used to be able to click on the link and was given the option to open or save the file. I no longer get the option. I do not want to save all these things to my computer first. How can I get the option to open a document whose link I have clicked on without having to save it first?

    Just be sure that feature is enabled first.
    Settings / General / Keyboard / Enable Caps Lock.
    When capslocked, the arrow turns blue.
