Pages and Number documents are blank

I believe this was a problem earlier for others, but any Pages or Numbers document I open appears to be blank. The data is still there, so I can select a cell in Numbers and the contents are still shown in the bar above, but no text, images or rules are shown in the page.
This is a huge issue - most of my business proposals are Pages docs.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
Mac OS X (10.6.7), iWork '09 (Pages 4.04 and Numbers 2.05)

In addition to using the combo update for Snow Leopard, you should have the iWork apps updated to 9.0.5. I'm not sure how you updated Numbers without updating Pages as well.

  • Downloaded pages and all documents are in Latin or French. Language setting is on English. How do I switch everything to English?

    Just got a new iPad Air -downloaded "pages" even though the language setting is defaulted to English, all the templates are written in either Latin or French. The headings are in English - no the body content? I have deleted the app and downloaded it a second time with the same results?? I would really like all the data to be in English.

    It is placeholder text in Latin. You have to replace it with your own text. Placeholder text is for giving you an idea on what the document will look like.

  • Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free?

    stevejobsfan is correct; iwork for ios is free only for new purchases of new ios devices. A good work around (if you have wifi connectivity) is going to the icloud website on your ipad, and working on your document.
    A word of caution (the real reason I am responding to your post). If you do a lot of 'formatting' of a document on iwork for mac, and then save it in icloud; you will probably loose most of the formatting you have done (this will be true if you oppen the document in iwork for ios; also) It happened to me, and I did not duplicate the document before saving it to icloud; I lost at least an hours worth of work.

  • All old pages documents are blank

    Did the update to Pages 4.0.3. iWork '09. Running 10.5.8. MDD Dual 1.44
    Now all old Pages documents are blank.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Rich

    Kensey,
    Have you recently begun using Lion? Has it been more than 2 weeks since you last opened those documents?
    Did you notice a button marked "Unlock" in that dialog that informed you that the document was locked?

  • I have completed a software update as prompted. However, all "Pages" and "Numbers" files are completely blank. Please advise

    I have completed a software update as prompted. However, all "Pages" and "Numbers" files are completely blank. Please advise

    Hi... Sorry for delay. I've been away working.
    I have just completed another software update as prompted again, and I'm still having problems.
    Nearly all my software won't open. It doesn't matter if it's relatively old software I brought over from my last Mac or new software I've purchased from the App store within the last year or two. It always says whatever software I'm trying to open has "quit unexpectedly"
    My Mail, App store, Stickies and Safari seem to work, but most other things won't.
    I've run a verify disk permissions and a repair disk permissions, but this message appears... Maybe it is a clue to the problem if you understand these things:
    Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Please advise...
    Best wishes

  • HT204053 how do i move page and numbers documents from one icloud login to another?

    how do i move page and numbers documents from one icloud login to another?
    I had to change my email address whcih meant new apple login.
    I have a number of docs in iwork/pages and iwork/numbers.  How do I transfer them to my new login?

    There's a couple of ways but my tip backing up your documents in the cloud is as good as any.

  • Should Pages and Keynote documents sync in the background?

    I am using iCloud to sync Pages and Keynote documents between my iPhone and iPad. The documents sync fine when the apps are open but I was wondering if these changes are supposed to be pushed when the apps are closed. This way, when I disconnect say on the subway, the files are there and up to date. I can't seem to find an answer. If i recall documents used to push when the apps were closed but now they don't. Any advice on how I can remedy? Photo stream and Reminders are syncing in the background.

    How can you be sure that reminders and calendars sync in the background, events/reminders will take up perhaps just a few kB and can transfer in fractions of a second after opening the calendar, documents may well be several MB or more and are more obvious if you are looking when you open an app.

  • Updated iPad 2 last night.  All movies (9) on my iPad can no longer be viewed.  The movie plays but the photos and scene selection are blank. How do I fix this

    Updated iPad 2 last night.  All movies (9) on my iPad can no longer be viewed.  The movie plays but the photos and scene selection are blank. How do I fix this

    Quit the app and restart the iPad.
    In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Try the videos app again.

  • I don't understand why I can't download for free the apps designed by Apple, such as Pages and Numbers, which are free with iOS 7. Can anyone help me?

    I don't understand why I can't download for free the apps designed by Apple, such as Pages and Numbers, which are free with iOS 7. Can anyone help me?

    The apps are free with iOS 7 if you purchased a new device after September 2013. The apps do not come free just because you are running iOS 7 now. Did you purchase or receive a new iPad recently?
    If you did, are you using the same Apple ID to get the apps that you used to activate the iPad? If you are, sign out of your ID, restart your iPad, sign in again and go back to the App Syore and see if the apps show up as free.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and go back to the settings and sign in again.

  • HT201272 I had Pages and many documents associated with it on my generation 1 ipad. I just got an ipad Air. I downloaded Pages to my new ipad but all my documents are gone. How do I go about getting them back. My old ipad was backed up to my computer.

    I am trying to locate my old documents from my generation 1 ipad. I downloaded Pages to my ipad Air but my documents are gone. I did back up my old ipad to my computer but I didn't restore my back up to the new ipad. I wanted to start fresh. How do I go about getting just my Pages documents from that backup and by the way, how do I access that back up?

    You will need to restore the backup - just downloading the app from the store won't give you its contents from a preivous device, you will need to restore the whole backup onto your new iPad (which will replace its current contents) to get the app's content.
