Pages and numbers won't open

whenever i try to use pages or numbers nothing happens, i can't get them to open.

There are new versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote -- you probably need to upgrade them first? Let me know whether this works, I didn't upgrade to Yosemite yet, and I won't if Keynote doesn't work...

  • Pages and Numbers won't open existing documents.. Any clues?

    Hello!
    I noticed yesterday that Pages and Numbers won't open existing documents.
    I've tried to reinstall software, but no luck.
    I've done no changes to my system, other than installing updates that have been made available.
    I run iWork '09 on a MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2010, with OSX 10.7.3.
    I can view the documents in preview, but I really need them to work as they are work-related.
    What to do?

    Look at the threads to the right. One of them is this https://discussions.apple.com/message/13147694#13147694 and it might help you

    You aren't likely to get an answer with that type of attitude. BTW, you are not contacting Apple on these forums. We are all volunteer end users just like you. If you want support, then call AppleCare and you can get one-on-one assistance.

  • I have my i cloud on my ipad, iPhone and Mac pro book but my two apps I downloaded pages and numbers won't connect to my ipad and iPhone. How do I get theses apps on ipad and iPhone?

    How do I get pages and numbers on my iPhone and ipad after it was downloaded on my Mac book pro?

    Pages and Numbers on a Mac are Mac Apps and are downloaded from the Mac App Store. iOS devices use a completely different operating system and the version of Pages and Numbers for that are quite different programming - you can't move Mac applications to an iOS device. The programs will have to be download from the App Store on your devices, and you have to buy them separately from the Mac versions.

  • Installed iWork 09' on Mavericks but Keynote and Numbers won't open. Pages opens fine

    When I bought my Mac years ago, I purchased Pages on the app store. Pages and the rest of iWork has since been completely changed for the worst. I think we can all agree that it is a complete DISASTER. It's very dumbed down, templates were cut out, and stripped of its functionality. I'm not quite sure what Apple was thinking but fortunately for me and anyone else who purchased Pages 09' before the big switch, Pages 09' still exists on our computers and works fine. Unfortunately, I didn't download Keynote or Numbers when I bought the computer. Now that I want it, I thought I'd outwitted Apple and I decided to purchase the old iWork software on ebay. It installed "successfully" but when I went to open Keynote, it gave me an error message saying "check with the developer to make sure Keynote works with this version of OS X". If the old software for Pages 09' works, why wouldn't Keynote and Numbers? Please help!

    I am getting the same exact error message, but I do not have Time Machine, so I cannot restore my system. I noticed that Pages would not load after I updated OS X to 10.7.4 on my MacBook Air. I also have an iMac at home that  has Pages installed. I had not updated the iMac to 10.7.4 yet, and I was able to open Pages. I next tried to open the version of Pages on my iMac while accessing it remotely on my Air. It gave the same message. Do you have any idea how I can fix this?

  • My Pages and iPhoto won't open.. updating?

    So I bought a new MacBook Pro yesterday, and right as i opened it, it said that some of the applications needed to update. So I did.
    Now I can't open Pages or iPhoto, because it says that it can't open while it's opdating. Though, I updated it yesterday so it really should be done.
    Also when I try to open them, it opens App Store and it says that "all updates are up to date", and when I search for either Pages or iPhoto, it says that it's updating. But I can't cancel it or anything?
    So what should I do to get my iPhoto and Pages to work?

  • Pages (and Keynote and Numbers) won't open after restore from Time Machine.

    Hi, I tried to open my iWork suite tonight and kept getting an error message 'Pages cannot be opened because of a problem' followed by the text, below. Has anyone got any idea what I have done? What I need to do to get them back working?
    Recently I did have a big clean up of my Mac Pro - which included drive renaming/home drive rename and relocation - all seems to be working fine for a few months until I've tried to use these applications for the first time tonight. Even restoring them from my Time Machine hasn't helped).
    I'd be so grateful if someone can give me some useful advice.  Thanks.

  • Please Help! My Pages, Keynote & Numbers won't open

    Updated Keynote (6.2.2) , Pages (5.2.2) & Numbers (3.2.2) August 25th
    Updated to Mavericks 10.9.4 September 10th.
    K, P & N would not open before or after system upgrade. When I open the app, it takes me to my Documents folder. I can't even download them again because they say installed. If I deleted them, can I re-add K, P & N for free? They came with my computer.

    Hey Jen127,
    Thanks for the question. When you open Pages, Keynote or Numbers, an “Open” dialog appears. This dialog allows you to choose to open a document (defaults to showing your Documents folder) or open a file from iCloud. In the bottom left corner there is also a “New Document” button:

  • Lost al .pages and .numbers docs , iphoto and office programs won't open after changing: auto startup in: startup with password. all personal settings are also gone

    After i changed this setting: autologin. into login with password i restarted the computer.
    it started up with a blank personal surrounding. also my .pages and .numbers documents were gone, personal settings gone, iphoto won't open and office programs wo'nt open.
    in finder i can find several .doc documents and i can see that all my pictures are still on the system, But i can't open them.
    i was so stupid not to use time machine. But is there way to recover the system with my documents or something??
    please help.
    System Imac i5 intel 21.5 inch
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b)

    Nope, without any backup they're probably gone for good. If you want you can purchase some data recovery software such as Data Rescue. I hope this may be a lesson why it's critical to backup your system, Time Machine is a good place to start.
    BTW when posting please use proper grammar, it's difficult to read a post when no caps are used.
    Good luck!

  • Numbers won't open but pages and keynote will

    Hi,
    I brought iWork as a download (serial number sent by email which I have misplaced!) and was working fine until about 1 month ago. I can still use Pages and Keynote fine, but Numbers won't open. I click the icon on my dock but it just comes up with a transparent ? over the icon instead of opening.
    Anything I can do?

    download iWork 9.05 and it will make your Keynotes happy again.
    For some reason it is not included in the "update software"
    (1) are you sure that Software Update is supposed to deliver iWork's updates ? I'm not
    (2) the OP's problem is not related to Keynote (with no S) which behave flawlessly (as well as Pages) on his machine but it's a Numbers one. It's logical as he asked in a Numbers dedicated forum.
    So, I'm afraid that what was useful for you would be useless for him.

  • Mac won't open pages in browsers. Chrome and Firefox won't open any pages - Safari will only open a selected few.

    I've had some strange browser issues, with Conduit being added to Chrome (which I've tried to remove via the browser settings). Chrome will open my Gmail account but no ther pages. Firefox won't open anything. Safari opens a few pages (this forum thankfully) but is very selective.
    Google is returning results to me via Google.es rather than Google.co.uk
    I can use all browsers freely on other devices on home network (although Google.es has popped up on my iPhone now). I've run anti-virus software which hasn't picked up any problems. I've tried uninstalling Chrome and Firefox, but am unable to do so.
    Any help or guidance would be really, really appreciated.
    I'm running the most recent version of Mavericks on  2012 iMac.

    Hi,
    First of all click Safari/Reset Safari, next click Safari/Preferences/Extensions and turn off extensions. The re-test
    If the problem persists, try using safari in safe mode:
    Use this link to see how to do this:

    If Safari works ok in safe mode, then your problem points to something 3rd party related.

  • I installed Firefox and it won't open any web pages at all, why?

    No matter what web address I type in nothing comes up. Even have tried clickig on the 'Getting Started' button and it won't open either.

    Hi robertoberlin,
    Could you give me some extra information and I'll try to help.
    * Does safari work/load pages?
    * What error do you get?
    * What kind of connection are you on? Wifi? At home? At a school / university?

  • I downloaded the new Pages and Numbers through my app store but when I open my old documents, it still tells me my 30 day trial is over. How do I get the computer to automatically recognize the new applications?

    More information: I have a 3 year old MacBook and had been using "Microsoft for Mac" until last week when I took my MacBook in for some upgrades- including the operating system Lion. I have been unable to use the Word, Excel, etc. programs because they are not supported on the new operating system... and I already used my 30 day trial of iWork when we first purchased the computer. I decided to buy Pages and Numbers through the App Store icon. When I open the Pages and Numbers under my Applications, I can get them to work. However, when I open old documents saved on my computer, they go into the 'old' iWork messages of that my trial has expired. How do I get the computer to automatically recognize that I've purchased Pages and Numbers?

    You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

    Mike,
    Any document left open when you Quit the application reopens when you restart the application. Rather like the jacket that I neglected to hang up when I came home last night. It's still lying on the chair by the door.
