Pages can't open my .pages document

so i had a document that i needed for a presentation i was going to do, and i had it open beforehand to review it. i noticed that it had been edited because i accidentally pressed the tab button, so i undid the change. however i noticed that the little cirlce in the close window button was still there, meaning that it was still different than the original that was saved. i closed the document, and it asked if i wanted to keep the changes or revert them, and i chose to revert them. it froze up for a second, and then it asked me the same thing again, but it said something about having been edited by another program or something. not really paying attention, i clicked the revert changes option. it then told me that the document coud not be opened (or something to that extent) and then gave me an option to close the document. i was never able to open it again, ater that it just said that it couldnt be opened. i looked through the packages contents to see if it was different when compared to a working .pages file, but nothing was amiss. is there a way to recover this? if so, that would be great. Thanks!

When i try to open a numbers document on numbers 3.2 i've got the following log:

HT202879 how can I open a Word document in Pages 09?

How can I open a Word document using Pages 09 please? I am trying to open Word documents from a CD using both trying to open in Pages, nd dragging and dropping into the Pages icon in the dock. It tells me, every time, thast the document cannot be opened.

What happens if you open it in TextEdit or LibreOffice [free]?
Does it open where you got it from?

Can you open with Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft word for Mac?

Can you open in Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft Word for Mac?

Pages '09 will open .doc files from Word 2004. The Mac OS is not what is in question. Pages '09 opens Word 2004 documents and if the same version of Pages will run in Lion and in Mountain Lion ..... Thats all that matters.
I trust you were using MS Office 2004 and would now like to buy Pages?

Can you open a word document in pages 08

Quick question however stupid it is
can you open a word document from a pc in pages 08?
sorry in advance if i have posted this in the wrong discussion area
cheers
Message was edited by: Lama323

The answer is as above wrote yes. Does it do it perfectly, the answer is no. Opening a .doc/.docx in Pages'08 will generate a frame warning message I find. I find text and symbols are preserved well, but formatting is not perfect. An example of my own is in the screenshot below. Same page 28 on a .docx but formatting of the document is not exactly preserved as you can clearly see. Where preservation of formatting is critical Pages is good, but not perfect alternative to Word '08.

Help!..Pages now is a disaster, crashes and I can't open any important documents!

Hello, I am writing from Italy...HELP!!!!
I have this problem: I can't open three important documents because Pages crashes. I can't use Icloud (if these documents are not opened in Pages, Icloud does not download documents!!!).
I worked on these documents for months and now it is a disaster.
Please apple, new update is necessary.
How I can solve this problem?
I can't return to the previous version of Pages because it is impossible but this is the one solution that I have read in Internet.

I haven't had this exact issue, so I can't tell you exactly how I fixed it, but I can give a couple of guesses that might help.
Definitely, if you haven't, restart the ipad by pressing and holding the power button on the top of the ipad until it turns off by itself, then wait a minute, then restart it. This has solved a ton of different random iPad issues for me. I'm not sure why, but when I first learned this trick, it was hold down the button on the front at the same time as the power button. For some reason, with iOS 6, this seems to do some kind of quick restart that doesn't turn off the device in the same way.
The only other thing, I can think of is to use a second iDevice to try to download the files. If you also have a second apple iPod touch, iphone or ipad, try to download the most recent version that has synced to that device. Then I'd export it via email so that I at least have a copy to work from, in case the issue with Pages doesn't get resolved.
Good luck!

Can't open old Pages documents in new system

I bought a new MacBook Air with Maverick OS X 10.9.4, but now I can't open my old pages documents. What can I do? My old MacBook was pre 2008 so everything is iworks 08

The new version of iWork can only open iWork '09 documents. I had more than a few documents that I had to first open and save using iWork '09 before the newest version could be used.

I can't open any pages document

My associate hasn't executed an apple update in some time. I typically do. For over a month, he can't open any Pages doucment I send him.
Last night, I did an apple Update for pages that Apple had been requesting I do for about a month. Now, I can't open any of my own pages documents in 4.3 or 5.0.1. Documents I created yesterady I can't open. I'm infuriated with Apple as every recommended update seems to trigger something else to not work as intended. I'm constactly playing IT guy trying to simply keep thinks working as they're supposed to. Can anyone help? Thanks

Since you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, 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.

I can't open a pages document.

I can't open a pages document. It says I need a new version of pages. I searched for upgrades but can't find any. Am I being forced to re-buy the program in order to access my documents? I looked into upgrading operating system, but Mavericks says I can't - my machine is too old? Seriously? It is starting to look like upgrades are breaking what otherwise worked fine, then charging to upgrade to make it work?

Pages 5 requires Mavericks.
If you can't upgrade to Mavericks you will need to Export your Pages 5 file to Pages '09 or Word .doc/x format then open it with whatever Pages version you have (you didn't say).
You can open Pages 5 files inside Safari using iWork for iCloud beta and Send a Copy in Word format to yourself.

I can´t open any page document. Please help

i can´t open any page document. Please help

You do need to give more information. What version of Pages, what version of OS X, have you ever been able to open Pages documents, have you made any changes to your Mac? Please be specific with versions, don't just say "I have the latest." Our crystal balls don't work over the internet.

When trying got save a document I get a message saying "can't open untitled.page" and it doesn't save or if it does i can't open it. why.

I think I found out how to solve this - I turned off iCloud documents and data, and now I can save and don't get the "can't open untitled.page" and am now able to properly save!
Hope it works for you.

Pages will not open a Pages document

I made a Pages document on my computer at home (iMac 10.4.8) and I am wanting to open the same document on my computer at work (eMac 10.4.10). I get a message simply stating that the document "could not be opened." Why will my document open in Pages on one computer and not on the other? I have iWork on both computers. Any help will be appreciated!

There shouldn't be a problem opening a Pages document with the same major version number but different sub-numbers. But, you can't open a Pages 3 document in Pages 1 or 2 or a Pages 2 document in Pages 1. In Pages 2 there is an option in the Save dialog to save as iWork '05 (Pages 1) & Pages 3 has the option of saving as iWork '05 or iWork '06.

Since upgrading to Yosemite I am getting frequently "safari can't open the page (blank) because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection this sometimes occurs when the server is busy. wait and then try again"

Since upgrading to Yosemite on my iMac I am frequently getting "safari can't open the page (blank) because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection this sometimes occurs when the server is busy. wait and then try again". This is with both a WiFi and Ethernet connection. The server is working fine from other devices using WiFi onto it such as iPhones, iPads, MacBook (which is also on Yosemite) so don't believe its an issue with the server.
I am also noticing page load very slowly when this problem is not occurring.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Pages downloaded, but I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac

For my Mac Pro, after I downloaded the new Mavericks OS, I downloaded the new pages. However, I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac.
Please help.

It appears that you are launching the old version, probably using an icon in your Dock. That icon is an alias & is not updated. You will need to go to your Applications folder & find the new Pages 5 icon & double-click it. Once it is launched, you can right-click on the icon & choose Options > keep in Dock from the contextual menu.
