Pages: Cant open file as Attachment

I recently downloaded the new version of Pages. I can create documents on my MacBook Pro, close them and then re open them on my machine. However if I attach them in an e-mail I cannot open them from that attachment on my computer nor can the people I am sending the attachment to. The recipients have Pages as well. I recieve the following error prompt.
“Test Pages (1).pages” can’t be opened.
Thank you

The new Pages 5 uses an oddball compressed bundle that gets screwed up on most servers other than Apple's own iCloud.
It is incompatible with GMail, Amazon, Dropbox etc.
Apple in its infinite wisdom has created new files which have exactly the same file extension as all the other .pages files whilst being totally incompatible with everything else.
Apple has also stripped off over 90 features and made many of the others buggy.
You should still have your old Pages in your Applications/iWork folder.
Best to trash/archive Pages 5 after Exporting any Pages files to Pages '09, then rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.

Cant open file in photoshop from lightroom

I installed portraiture yesterday in PS and now for whatever reason I cant open files from lightroom to photoshop?

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like exact versions.

"could not be handled because Pages cannot open files in the "data" format."

I cannot open some files from at least two different friends. the message that I get is "could not be handled because Pages cannot open files in the “data” format.”.
I have OSX 10.9.2
I have the latest version of Pages 5.2
Any help is appreciated. I'd like to be able to open files. Thank you.

Could your friend possibly be using a Mac running OS 9?
Or one of the early versions of OSX?
They are the only Systems I know of that don't have file extensions on the files, because they used data forks in the file, something Apple eventually abandoned, in the interests of compatiblity with Windows and UNIX generally.
I had a look AmigaOS also had a form of file and resource separation, in which the main file does not have an extension.

After updating to Mavericks, I can't seem to open files to attach to gmail messages.

After updating to Mavericks, I can't seem to open files to attach to gmail messages. I can still drag and drop into them, but I'm unable to click on my documents through the paperclip icon on the bottom of composing my message. Anyone else know a solution or facing the same issue?
Thanks!

When downloading, why do I get a message saying "Safari cant open file because the file has moved since it was downloaded?" I just attempted to download the file from a website. Thanks.

When downloading from a website, I get a message that says, "Safari cant open th file--- because the file has been moved since you downloaded it. How do I correct this problem. It wont let me open attachments from yahoo email either. Thanks.

EDIT:
After posting I see this question has the tag of "windows". I don't know if this applies to the Windows version or not.
The only time I see this message is if I download something, trash it, AND empty the trash. If I don't empty the trash, it finds it there. It will find it wherever I move it to, unless it is was in the trash and emptied.
Using Finder, is the downloaded file in your Downloads folder?
Maybe if you go to Safari/Preferences/General and change the location for downloads to something else then change it back to Downloads it might correct it.

Cant open files into PS CC

I have Adobe Bridge CC as well as Photoshop CC and Windows 8
Every since I did the switch i cant open my files into CC.
I,ve gone to preferences and tried to change file type extensions but all i get is an error message that says Windows cannot find C:\program files\adobe\adobe photoshop CS5.1(64bit)photoshop.exe. make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.
This happens whether i try and double click or when i click on open with.
I havent had PS5 for a long long time so not sure why this happening.
Prior to this i had CE6 and everything worked beautifully,
How can i get Bridge to open my documents in the correct location?

What JJMack says, with the additional remark that it's not unusual for me to see the scratch file exceed 200 GB. I also use Macs, but I don't go beyond Lion 10.7.5.
Here's some boilerplate text I use in this respect:
The rule of thumb I follow to figure out scratch space says to figure on 50 to 100 times the size of your largest file ever multiplied by the number of files you have open. I have seen the scratch file exceed 800 GB once, an admittedly rare occurrence, but it often exceeds 200 GB when stitching large panoramas and the like.
As an example—and stressing that I'm aware that others have even more scratch space than I do—I keep two dedicated, physically separate hard drives as my primary and secondary Photoshop scratch disks and a lot of GB free on my boot drive for the OS. I also have 16 GB of RAM installed.
Additionally, if you only have a single HD, i.e. your boot drive, you'd need it to be large enough to accommodate both the swap files of the OS as well as Photoshop's scratch.

IPod Shuffle Help - Cant open files on ipod (blank screen)

I'm sure it's already been covered here, but I couldn't find anything that helped.
I have a iPod shuffle, and iTunes recognises it but wants to re-format it (not my biggest problem), and Windows only partially recognises it.
In My Computer it is listed as an iPod (E:), but when i open it, which it does, it displays a blank screen. It doesn't recognise any files in it AT ALL. But recognises how much free space i still have on my ipod. I can open my ipod files (Songs) on friends and school computers, just not mine.
It just seems that i'm missing a file of some sort, which is able to read the files on my ipod shuffle, but i just don't no what it could be.
I have tried every available solution, reinstalling iTunes/iPod, with no luck. I also just added service pack 2 for my windows xp pro and thought that would have solved my problem.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried syncing it again? There might be some error during the last sync.. If nothing's wrong, on the left panel, there's your iPod, click on the arrow beside the icon and there's everything..

Cant open pdf documents attached to an email

Hi All,
Since updating Adobe reader to Version 9 I am unable to open any pdf documents attached to emails (outlook express). If I want to open the documents I have to first save the attachments to a different location eg My documents, and then go to that location to open them. If I try to open the pdf in the email the following message is displayed "Do you want to open this File?" after clicking yes the following message comes up "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this function. Create an association in the folder options control panel"
PDF is already in the folder options
Any ideas?
Toni

Thanks. I disabled Protected Mode, and I was able to open the pdf attachment. Just to make sure, I enabled it and then disabled it again, and when I tried to open the attachment, it did as before – Adobe Reader (Not Responding) and Internal Error message. Tried it several more times, (enable and then disable Protected Mode) and each time, Adobe Reader wouldn’t launch (Not Responding, Internal Error).

I grasp that you are unable to open files off a USB from your old computer.
Do you have the program that they were created in installed?
What format are they saved it?
What type of files are they? ( text, pictures)
Have you tried opening them in compatibility mode?

Illustrator CS6 cant open files on win 8 machine

Sats something like "file cant be opened/file cannot be found".
is doing that on hebrew titled folder, when i change the folder name to english it opens, why ?

@risepureog ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. So that I can help you out with our issue could you please check out the following link.
Advice for asking the "Very Best Question"
As well when you post back can you include the file type you are trying to open. For the most part you need software to open files. .pdf requires adobe PDF reader. .doc would require a word processing software like microsoft word.
It all depends on the file you are trying to open will depend on the software needed.
Thank you again for posting and have a great day.

Office 2008 produces only blank page when opening files

Under Lion, Microsoft Office 2008 products -- specifically Word and Excel -- will produce only "blank" pages when I open files I saved before I upgraded to Lion. These are valid files which will open using Windows, or even using Preview.
I put "blank" in quotes because the content is still there. It is displayed, however, using the background color --- no matter what I set the foreground text color to, or highlight the background, it will never display my text! So the default seems to be white text on a white background. Setting the foreground text color to red or blue will have no effect; it will still be white.
A workaround I'm currently using is to open the files in TextEdit, "Select All", copy & then paste into a new Word document, but the formatting doesn't always carry over.
I posted a message on a Microsoft site and they said (go figure) "it's an Apple problem, not a problem with the software."
Anyone else having this problem?
How/when can it be fixed?

I saw another post regarding font mismatches and I've learned that that is the problem in this case!
If I open any of the documents I was having trouble with, do select-all, and then change the FONT (not the style, not the color) -- e.g. to Times, or Times New Roman -- suddenly all my text appears!

Still cant open files

when i open an email and try to open the PDF file attached it comes up in a crazy language like I don't have the convert program. DO I have to manual open every single document?

What is your operating system? In what program is it trying to open your PDF attachement, e.g. in Microsoft Word instead of Adobe Reader?

Hi,
I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues. Which tablet is it exactly that you are using?
Which Android version do you have on it?
It would be good if you could give us a screen shot of what you are seeing.
Would it be possible for you to share the file that you cannot open?
You could send it to me privately.
Could you also please let us know what you were doing before the file got corrupted?
From which version did you upgrade by the way?
Thanks,
Ignacio
