Pages can't open Pages09 documents from MobileMe

I have a number of files created with Pages '09 on my iDisk.
When the files are downloaded with GoodReader they appear as Folders, and Pages-iPad can't open them.
Is there a way to open Pages documents stored on iDisk with iPad?
Regards

One theory I've heard is that it would require true multi-tasking as the iDisk app & Pages/Numbers/Keynote for iPad is another. The current iPhone OS does have that, but iPhone OS 4 will so we may see it then.

Pages can't open docx documents from Dropbox

I am new to MacBook Air and Pages having just moved from a PC. I have an ipad2 and iphone and create documents on Quickoffice Pro HD and store them in Dropbox. I have been unable to open any .docx documents on my MBA. I have tried opening Pages first and selecting Dropbox from the application. I seem to be able to open .doc documents but saving them back to Dropbox is awkward and they don't end up in the right folders. Other than installing Microsoft Word on my Mac, what can I do to make this work better? I was under the mistaken understanding that Pages played better with MSWord. Is there an app like Quickoffice Pro for the Mac?

Pages opens MsWord doc files but you need to Export files back.
Pages will save where you want it to, it is not an issue with the application.
Try LibreOffice [free] which is available on most OSes, as an alternative to MsOffice. There is also an Office for Mac if you want the greatest degree of compatibility.

Can't open Office documents from network share

Dear,
I have a user named X that can't open Office documents from two specific shares. We call this shares T and U.
When the user X opens Office documents the error message is "...xlsx can't be opened". The problem is not client specific because when I login on the same client I can open the documents without any problem. If you copy the file to your desktop it
opens fine.
Any idea?

Anybody?
We have a problem with a customer that they can't open Office documents(Word,Excel etc.) on Windows 8 image on a network share. The error message is just that they can't open the document. The documents are on a sharepoint site and we can open the documents
within the site and also we can open the Office documents on a Windows 7 image.
I think there is a group policy for Windows 8 for this but I don't know for sure?
Anybody?

Can't open Office documents from share on Windows 8

We have a problem with a customer that they can't open Office documents(Word,Excel etc.) on Windows 8.1 image on a network share. The error message is just that the document can't open.
The documents are on a sharepoint site and we can open the documents within the site and also we can open the Office documents on a Windows 7 image from the networkshares.
Also can't open the documents if i copy them to the local desktop.

Hi,
As I understand, the issue is that customers can’t open office documents on windows 8.1 on a network share or copying them to the local desktop.
Per my test, I can open documents on windows 8.1 on a network share.
1. By default, Word doesn't trust files in temp directories from your browser. You can add the
network address and local address to the trusted list. From Word 2010/2013: Click File > Word Options > Trust Center->trust center setting->add new location.
2. You can create a shortcut on the desktop using the network address and then open the documents by that way.
3. To narrow down the research scope that you can create a new document library->Download a problematic file (an Excel workbook or a word document) to your local->Upload the local file to the new document library->do the same option to check if
the same situation will occur.
There is a similar case:

Hi Sara Fan,
Thanks for your reply.
I have added the profile to the trusted locations but without success. Also a shortcut is not working. I still can't open any Office document on that location(Error message: location ***.xxxx can't be opened). The problem occurs on every client.
1. Opening Office documents under local administrator account, domain admin account is working fine
2. Re-image the machine is not a solution
4. All locations use the same Windows 8.1 image through SCCM
3. When the user logon to another location(site) it's working fine and they can open Office documents so it seems site-specific
4. The problem is specific from 2 sharepoint shares. We can open office documents from other shares.
5. Can't open Office documents from the library on the sharepoint site(browser), but on another location it's working fine.
Problem only occurs on Windows 8.1 image with domain users. Other locations of this company do not have the problem. Note, every location have their own OU for users/clients.
Any other suggestions?

I can't open word documents from Finder

I can't open word documents from Finder

If you mean "I can't double click a *doc file and make word open" then you highlight the file and do a command-I (or get info). When the window comes up, change the "open with" parameter. You can also right click and select "other"

Pages can't open a document, what to do?

Hi,
Since a couple of days Pages won't open any document for me. This includes documents I open immediatly from an e-mail, documents that I open via Pages or documents that I open via Documents. I get the message Pages has stopped immediatly then, including a large error screen. I'm also unable to open a template or a blank page. The message I get is for example 'The document 'Blank Canvas.template' can not be opened'.
Is there anyone who can help me fixing this problem? I found out Pages does work in a guest account, but I have all the documents that I need on my own account.
Thanks a lot!

Tim
Click on your desktop so FINDER appears in the upper left corner.
While clicking the GO menu tab, hold down the OPTION KEY, and LIBRARY will suddenly appear in the menu selection.
While holding the OPTION KEY still, click LIBRARY.
From the folders in the library, open the PREFERENCES folder. (make sure you VIEW as List, so it is easier to find, since the list will give in alphabetical order)
Scroll down to
com.apple.iWork.Pages.LSSharedFileList
com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
Tim, I tried draging the preference files to the trash, but did not work for me. Hopefully it works for you. I even had a very nice Senior Advisor from Apple try to help me last night and we still got no where. Even he could not open the Pages 09 document file on his own computer, as I had emailed him a copy.
Just alittle note of what happened to me (21.5" mid-2011 iMac, 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5, 16GB ram, OS 10.7.5 :
Jan 25, 2013 downloaded Pages 09 (v4.3) from App store to my computer.
By Jan 29, 2013 I had typed a 58 page document using the research template within Pages (5 sections: Cover Page, Table of Contents, Chapter Page, Text Page, Bibliography).
On Jan 29, 2013 from 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm while typing research paper I had no problems "saving a version", at 5:36pm I selected the Bioblography from the section pull down menu and then "saved a version" of the document and planned to 'fill in the Bibliography' after eating dinner.
I came back from dinner and Pages 09, gives me an Error box..... that the document cound't be opened.
I can View the document in Preview, unlike others that said they had the same problem, but could not view their documents in Preview.
But I noticed last night while discussing the matter with the Apple Advisor, that the last page (page 58) is actually blank, rather than having the standard "Bibliography title" at the top, like the template selection has on Pages 09. So something happened within the software when I made a selection from the "sections" pull down menu.
Also, the only other program I had running at the time was iTunes (v10.6.3).
The Apple Advisor even remotely accessed my computer last night but found nothing remarkable and took a copy of the document and hopefully Apple will have an answer and possible something to prevent it from happening to anyone else.

Can't open Word documents from Macmail

I use MS Office since I am in publishing and have never had this problem before. But about 50% of the time, I can't open .docx documents that are sent to me by email. Again, this is only some .docx documents. Any ideas on why this might be happening?
Also, it gives me an error message saying that there is not enough disk space to convert this document, but I have about 175GB available.

Try http://www.neooffice.org/ instead of Microsoft Word.
As for disk space, see my FAQ*:

I am trying to open a pdf file through documents to go on my Centro (verizon). I received a this message: An unexpected error occured! Error number: 0x7371803.
What does this mean?
I saw on another thread there is a palm pdf software that works. I went to the site; it said this program is not compatitable with Centro. Has anyone else found a workaround or another program?
Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
The error could be caused by the particular file you are trying to open, the way it was created, etc. Have you tried opening other .pdf documents?

IPad Pages: can't open ONE document!

my wife has an ipad bought new in 2013... currently running 7.1.2. she uses pages regularly and has a major speaking engagement this weekend. she was working on her ongoing draft as usual through late last night, then this morning, went onto the ipad and pages says "document can't be opened". all other documents open fine. i've been reading scores of other similar forums on here and have not found any help. document icon still looks like all the other document icons. unable to send/share or do anything with the document on the ipad... when i try and send via email, share etc, the pages app freezes on "creating document" screen. logged onto icloud from my mac (all of this is under my apple ID) and again, document icon is perfectly viewable like all the others, but icloud says it "can't be opened at this time, try again later." and again, no success email / sharing / downloading in any formats.
have already closed and restarted pages, standard off/restart ipad, and hard restart of ipad. nothing has changed. any help?? would be grateful for ANY way to simply even retreive the text of this document!!!

I'm not sure that I would say that they are commonplace, but I've seen this occur more often that it should. I have spent some hours over the last couple of years trying to help users retrieve files like this and I have spent time trying to retrieve a couple of my own files. I'm sorry to say that I never had any luck. I do NOT trust the cloud - anybody's cloud for that matter. I use iOS file sharing to move the documents to my Mac and I backup the Mac with Time Machine on my Time Capsule, and another external drive.
There are third party apps that claim to be able to retrieve a lot of iOS lost content, but I don't know that any of them will restore Pages files. I cannot recommend any apps because I have never used one. You can search the internet for them. "apps to restore deleted files on iPad". Use that as your search entry and you will come up with an number of websites.

Can't Open Word Documents from my School's Website

I am in a class that requires me to download & print off worksheets from the school's online "blackboard" website. My teacher also has a Mac, and she uses Microsoft software for Mac. Since I use Pages instead, can I not open these documents? I also can't open PowerPoint presentations on my MacBook, I am sure this for the same reason.
If anyone could help me out with this, I would really appreciate it.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Two things you may not have done.
First, use the Mac OS 10.6.2 combo update. This fixes a problem with the Hoefler Text font that is not fixed using the delta update (10.6.1 > 10.6.2).
Second, make sure your iWork applications are updated. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. iWork '09 has since had update 3. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

Can't open pdf documents from mail attachments

Have Adobe Reader free version installed. IPAD2 using latest IOS 7
When trying to open a pdf attachment from mail attachments, there is a quick flash screen that displays and the attachment doesn't open.
Is there a fix for this?

Will it open other PDF attachments? Perhaps that particular attachment is corrupt?
A few things to try...
1. Remove apps from the Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
2. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
3. Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

I have been working on a document in Pages 4.3 and now it tells me I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. When I look up Pages 5.2 the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button.

My OS is 10.9.3.I've been working on a document in Pages 4.3. Now is says I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. The Pages 5.2 page in the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button. How do I get Pages 5.2?

If you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, you may be trying to open the file with a previous version of Pages. If this is the case, 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.

Can't open a document I created an hour before with Pages 5.0.1; get message saying my Pages is too old, for me to download 5.0.1

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 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 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud 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.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
