Pages: Can't open document on iPad

Dear,
Yesterday i started a big document on my iPad using pages.
After finishing it i could send PDF to an email address.
Today i try to edit something but i cant use the document anymore. i dont see an icon of my text but an icon of pages and when i try to use it i get an error messages like: "Can't open document". iPad, iPhone and iCloud cant reach the document anymore.
Any idea how to get my document back?????
TIA !

It seems to be hit or miss if this works or not, but try opening Pages on the iPad, then before you select a document, on the very first screen, hit the "Edit" button, then select your document. Then click the arrow coming out of the box in the upper left corner & email the document to yourself. Try opening the email on a computer, selecting the file and adding the pages file type (.pages) to the end of the name. Then try reopening it in Pages.
I don't know if this is what happened in your case, but it seems like sometimes iWork documents lose that file type indicator & then Pages (numbers/ Keynote) won't open them.

  • Since I updated my pages to 5.01, I can't open documents created on my iPad today. It says you need a new version of pages to open document.  (My computer says it is installed).  Has any one encountered this?

    Well, here's what I found out that works for me...
    I had a Pages icon on my dock, and launching it brought up version 4.3.  But I went to my Apps folder and found the new updated icon there and when I launced that it brought up version 5.01.  So apparently the Apple update process left two versions launchable on my iMac.  Weird...

  • Can not open document pages ipad urgent

    Hello everyone, I have the application pages on ipad go to open a document and tells me can not open document help me as I urgently

    I created many documents using Pages and imports other documents into Pages. Now, many cannot be opened while others kept prompting me to choose between two versions -- one from my iPhone and one from my iPad. The weird thing is that I don't even u pages on my iPhone. The app isn't even installed there.
    How do I get my documents back?

  • Can't open documents "you will need a newer version of pages..get upgrade at app store" App store says I have the current version.

    Can't open documents some as recent as yesterday. "you will need a newer version of Pages...you can upgrade from the app store" The app store indicates i have the current version, upgrade not appropriate. A relatively new problem.

    You have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
    Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

  • IWorks has disappeared. How can I open documents saved as Word 97 from Pages stored on Dropbox?

    iWorks has disappeared.  How can I open document saved as Word 97 through Pages stored on Dropbox?

    Thanks but I don't think this will help. Like I said, all of my add-ons were working fine and compatible until after running a previous version of FF. I am sure they are still compatible, but they are not working at all.
    I even checked my profile folder and all of the extensions' data is all still there but FF5 is just not reading it correctly. (like adblock plus... I see the folder for it but FF5 doesn't have it on the add-on manager page when I run FF5)

  • Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, why?

    Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, it is a problem with the text font Futura T-Bold. How to open it on Illustrator?

    I downloaded the file, and:
    It is not a Photoshop PDF.
    I get the same result attempting to open in Illustrator; mangled font substitution. That's because I don't have one or more of the exact fonts used in the document installed on my computer, and I suspect the same is true of yours.
    The fact that it opens without issue in Reader and Photoshop is essentally meaningless, (or at least it's not an inidication that it also should open without issue in Illustrator, which is what your original post seems to imply). Reader displays the correct fonts because subsets of them are embedded in the PDF for use by Reader. Photohop just rasterises the whole page, so there is no font data needed.
    If you had the fonts, you wouldn't get the substitution in Illustrator. It works that way for any PDF.

  • Latest version of Pages won't open documents created in previous version.

    Pages won't open documents created before update.

    I got the same issue, here is what it says now: "My document" can’t be opened."
    iOS Mavericks 10.9.2
    Pages 5.1
    What I did to get this issue:
    - My file was created a month ago in Pages 5.1
    - Today, I opened the file normally
    - I clicked "duplicate" in order to make a back up from the current version
    - The loading wheel kept running for a few minutes...Maybe my cache memory too busy?
    - so, I "forced to quit" Pages
    - I try to open my doc again in Pages 5.1, now it's a failure!!
    - Then i tried to open on another Macbook with Pages 5.1 = Failure
    - I updated Mavericks latest updates = Failure to open my doc
    - Try to open in pages 4.3 = It says: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document..."
    I need a fix asap, it's terribly important to get my document back

  • Pages won't open documents

    I just made about 15 documents that are cards printed on half sheets of photo paper. I print a photo on one half of the page and then fold it in two and have a beautiful thank you note to use.
    I made and printed many of them. I opened them again as documents, and they opened fine. Today, in trying to open them, I get the message, "Pages can't open this document"!
    any idea what might be going on? Would it be have trouble locating the photo in iPhoto?
    Thanks for your help.

  • I'm can't open documents in iword, and the program also won't shut down properly.

    I have been having trouble with pages for a couple of weeks now.  When I try to shut it down, it won't close.  I've tried force quit, but that doesn't work either.  Then, I can't shut down my computer properly either.  Finally, which seems related to me, I suddenly can't open documents that I've typed into word.  Any suggestions?

    Did you try a Force Quit?
    Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time.
    Wait. Force Quit window will appear.
    Select Mail and click the Force Quit button
    Wait. Mail will quit.

  • Document Creation error - "We're sorry. We can't open document name because we found a problem with its contents"

    Morning Friends,
    I have created a SharePoint 2010 "Site Workflow" that is designed to take information from a form and create a Word doc with the gathered information and store this Word doc in a document library.
    I am using Sharepoint 2013 with Office 2013 
    I understand there are a lot of steps (19) outlined below and I can provide more information as needed but the bottom line is this, workflow successfully takes info from an initiation form, uses the info to create a Word doc. Places this Word doc in a library.
    When attempting to open / edit doc, receive error
    "We're sorry. We can't open <document name> because we found a problem with its contents"
    Details - No error detail available.
    Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated. 
    Very high level view of what I have done:
    1 - Created content type called "Letters"
    2 - Added site columns " First Name" and "Last Name"
    3 -  Created and saved to my desktop a very basic Word document (Letter.docx) that says "Hello, my name is XXXX XXXX"
    4 - In the advanced settings of the "Letters" content type I uploaded this "Letter.docx" file as the new document template.
    5 - Created a new document library called "Letters"
    6 - In Library Settings - Advanced Settings, clicked "Yes" to enable the management of content types.
    7 - Then I clicked "Add from existing content types" and added the "Letters" content type
    8 - Back in the advanced settings of the "Letters" content type I selected "Edit Template" and replaced the first XXXX with the Quick Part "First Name" and the second XXXX with the Quick part "Last Name"
    9 - Created a new 2010 Site workflow called "Create a Letter"
    10 - To the workflow I added the action "Create List Item"
    11 - Configured the action to create Content Type ID "Letters" in the document library "Letter" 
    12 - For the "Path and Name" I gave it a basic name of "Letter to"
    13 - The next step was to create the Initiation Form Parameters and added to form entries "First Name" and "Last Name"
    14 - I then linked the initiation form fields to the data source "Workflow Variables and Parameters" to their respective Field from Source parameters
    15 - Went back to the "Path and Name" and modified the basic name of "Letter to" to include the first and last name parameters.
    16 - Saved - published and ran the work flow.
    17 - As expected, Initiation Form prompts for First and Last Name. ("John Doe") Then click "start
    18 - Go to document library "Letters" and see a new Word document created titles "Letter to John Doe" 
    19 - Go to open / edit the Word document and receive the following error
    thoughts? Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated. 

    See this MS support article for SP2010 workflows and generating Word docs:
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2889634/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
    "This behavior is by design. The Create
    List Item action in the SharePoint
    2010 Workflow platform can't convert Word content type file templates to the correct .docx format."
    I've had success in using SP 2013, Word 2013 (saving a .docx as the template instead of .dotx for the document library content type), and an SP 2010 workflow using SP Designer 2013.

  • Can't open 'Documents' in Finder

    I cannot open the 'documents' files in finder for last couple of days . Every time I am clicking on "documents" in the 'finder' sidebar, finder crashes and stops working and I need to relaunch it.
    Therefore I have to use 'all my files' tab which is time consuming.
    My Device Information: Macbook Air 11 inch (mid 2013), OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10)

    Assuming you can, click on your home directory (it is the one with the 'house' icon so you can see all the folders in your home directory - including Documents. Can you open Documents from there?
    If so: drag the Documents icon from the sidebar until you see a little cloud icon and release it. That deleted Documents from the sidebar. Now drag the Documents folder from your drive space into the sidebar to create a new alias of it. Test and see that it works.
    If not: your drive directory is damaged. Restart while holding the command & R keys to enter Recovery mode. Select Disk Utility and your hard drive icon. Select Repair Disk.

  • Can't open documents

    Hi there. I can't open documents or files from the internet that I download, because I don't have Word. But I'm using OpenOffice, and I thought OpenOffice also could open files and so on, but I just learned that I couldn't. I don't know how to do it, if there's a solution of it. I searched all over the internet, but couldn't find something....
    What should I do?

    drag the files onto OpenOffice (I prefer another office clone called LibreOffice).  Or launch OpenOffice then use the menu item "File > Open" to bring up the open dialog that will allow you to navigate to, and select the Word file you want to open.
    Finally you can associate OpenOffice (or what ever app you like) with .doc and .docx files by right clicking the file then selecting "Open With > Other…":
    The navigate to, and select, the application you want to use to open the file.  Be sure to select the "Always open with" checkbox if you do not want to have to go through this everytime.
