Pages crashing AND disappeared!

My iOS pages on both iPhone and iPad are still in their respective docks but will only open for a
brief moment and then crash (on both devices). I was going to re-download it but when I looked in my
"Purchased Apps" it was gone. Any suggestions anyone? Thank you.

Daisy,
I bought a brand new iPad mini retina recently and Pages did the same thing as soon as I enabled iCloud for Pages in Settings. I tried reinstalling, rebooting, and could not get it to work. Apple phone support had me Reset All Settings in Settings> General > Reset. That did the trick. I did not lose any data.
As far as it not being in your purchased apps, I am not sure what to make of that. Pages appear in my Purchase Apps. But you should be able to go to the App Store and download it again. It is now free.

  • Rman instance crash and disappear

    There is no any information in the log like alert log as I search
    before already.No any log information certainly.

    Any adviceWhat does it mean by "rman instance"? I believe you mean that your db got crashed and is terminated. If so, did you check for any process crash or something like that? If there is nothing reported in the alert log, I don't think that its possible that anyone over here would be able to tell why your instance got crashed? I can't think of anything that you can enable on the instance for this in a proactive manner. So just restart and see if it happens again.

  • When I extract pages from a PDF and go to "Save As", Acrobat completely crashes and disappears. Why?

    I work for a remote desktop hosting company, and am having an issue with Adobe Acrobat that we have installed on one of our customer's terminal servers.
    The OS running on the customer's TS is Windows 2008 R2 Standard. The customer is running Windows 8.1 on their local PC.
    Basically, the customer will open up a PDF within Adobe Acrobat, extract a couple of pages, and go to "Save As" within the new window. At this point, the software will crash and close immediately.
    Going through the same process on another Windows 8.1 PC, logged on as the same user onto the TS, the problem does not happen.
    It seems that this problem only happens on the customer's PC. We have tried logging on as other users on to the TS from this PC and get the same crashing and closing problem.
    Is there an obvious answer to this that I seem to be missing?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Hi
    It shows just 4 always as an option in the "open with" lsit. Also I haven't downloaded any apps for a while so why would it start now?
    Do you know how I can estabilsh how many apps are counting toward this 10 and what they are?

    Let's start with the machine. Did you add RAM to the machine yourself? If you did, this could be a problem with a bad memory chip. If you did this, you can run a hardware diagnostic on your machine to check your memory and other hardware. Restart your machine from the Macintosh OS X Install Disc 1, and hold down the "D" key. You will come up in hardware diagnostics. Run the full tests, and see if any problems are reported.
    Next, let's look at the application. You said you tried reinstalling it. After running the reinstall, run the application called Disk Utility in your Utilities folder inside the Applications folder. When this comes up, selecte your startup drive and click on Repair Permissions.
    Still a problem? Make sure you have the latest and greatest of QuickTime and iMovie. Run Software Update from your System Preferences. Again, when this completes, run Disk Utility and repair permissions.
    Which Sony camera are you using? If it is a digital camera that shoots video as well, check out this article:

  • Application crashed and disappeared

    Can someone help me?
    I was trying to find my Ajoiner application and realised that it was missing. I think this happened after the application had crashed.
    I tried to download the application again from the internet but it will not download.
    I deleted the .plist file relating to Ajoiner, and after doing a search on my hard drive using the word "Ajoiner", the only thing that comes out now is this crash log:

    Hi merissaquek, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Hmmm, missing APP, I think we have some Disk corruption to deal with first of all.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Please report outcome of these.

  • Pages crashing when undo

    Pages crashes and stops running when i try to tab undo, so i cannot turn back previous work.  Would you please show me how to solve this problem?

    You need to update your Pages to version 4.0.3. You also have to Update Macos X to to 10.6.2 WITH the COMBO update. This is for getting a functional Hoefler font.
    Here you find the Comco update _http://support.apple.com/downloads/_

  • Charged 3 Times(Web page crashed)

    Hi, and welcome to the community!
    If you check your subscriptions page you should find the renewal date is in 3 months time.
    If it is not, you can submit an online contact form; someone at Spotify can sort this out for you.
    Once you get an automated reply; make sure to reply to it directly (even if it's from a no reply); and it will be sent to the Spotify staff.

    My credit card was charged 3 times but I only made 1 account the other two I never finished. I got to the college verification and then the Web page crashed and I had to start over. So I don't know if the other 2 accounts finished and they will keep charging me month to month. I would like to make one account and get charged for once. Is there anyway to fix it and get refunded or make that my next 2 month payments.

  • IWeb crashed - all 'disappeared' and would not load.

    iWeb crashed - everything 'disappeared' and would not load. I purchased 09, and have the files for the original iWeb site (which is still active) because I published them to a domain. What is the best/easiest way for me to put all the pages back into iWeb on my laptop so that I can update them. Because iWeb is so easy and I'm stumped when anything starts HTML-ing me!

    What is the best/easiest way for me to put all the pages back into iWeb on my laptop so that I can update them
    There is no best or easy way to get webpages back into iWeb because you cannot import webpages.
    Copy/paste the text and objects from your existing pages is the only way.
    But just to be sure, check the domain file in this folder:
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    (where ~ is our Home directory) and see if it still there. Double click the file to open it in iWeb.
    If it fails, then you're out of luck.

  • Firefox crashes and all website pages loose their formatting and pictures, and links are broken

    I’m currently running Firefox 18.0.1 on a 13” 2011 MacBook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8GB or RAM that is running OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. I have been living with this problem for over a year and this same computer has had this problem while running OS X 10.7 and I think even 10.6. The problem also existed with earlier versions of Firefox including versions 17, 16, and possibly 15, it’s been so long I can’t remember.
    The problem is that Firefox crashes (or something within Firefox crashes) and the screen “goes white” and by that I mean all the graphics and layout of a page like YouTube disappears and even though the links are there, none of them work. The page is just made up of text and broken links. Reloading the page does nothing so I have to close Firefox and restart it. (No reboot) On relaunch everything is back to normal and may last a few minutes, or it may crash again right away. Generally if I launch Firefox and use it and then go use some other programs, when I come back to Firefox it will then crash. Is this a Java problem? Is this a javascript problem? I really don’t know what it is but it has persisted through several operating systems and different versions of Firefox running on different operating systems. I’m stumped and can’t find anyone who’s ever seen this problem. Any help or clues would be greatly appreciated.
    I should add that this problem is present on ALL webpages, not just one or a few. Safari works fine on the same machine and visiting the same websites. I have screen caps of the crashed pages but I don't know how to post them here.

    Please type about:crashes in the URL bar and provide us with the latest crash ids. Please do not make a screenshot but instead copy and paste. Thanks!

  • I have just updated my iPad to IOS 8.1.3 when I now try to open the emails nothing comes up and then the app crashes and returns to the home page. What should I do?

    I have just updated my iPad to IOS 8.1.3 when I now try to open the emails nothing comes up and then the app crashes and returns to the home page. What should I do?

    Since yesterday morning about 11:00 I have been having TERRIBLE email problems on this iPad 3G. Email comes in (I hear the sound) but nothing displays -- no folders, no content, no nothing in e-mail. The blank email screen shows up and then disappears after about 10 seconds, taking me back to the Home Screen.
    Right now, the only way I can see email on this device is to log onto AOL via the AOL app.
    I have been doing a lot of online reading about the problem. It has to do with iOS 8.1.3 and it affects older iPads and iPhones. I'm having no problems on my iPod touch, which -- fortunately -- is so old it cannot update its iOS 6.
    I waited to update the iOS on this iPad until iOS 8 was "mature." That was about 2 weeks ago.
    Anybody know know if Apple is aware? working on a solution?

    Looks like your webkit framwork is broken, or is now broken in relation to iTunes. Calls and classes may have changed since version 7.1, which is what you are using. Try updating to the latest version of iTunes and see if this fixes it.

    Pages crashes when opening any document on iPad 3 Latest version. I tried everything I could find on the net and finally deleted Pages from my device and reinstalled it. Still when I try to create a new document or open a document it just crashes out.

    Try this:
    Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

    I can go to Time Machine and find the document, even read it in Time Machine, but when I try to restore this version I get the same crash. I cannot open with Text or RTF. Preview opens a fuzzy version and can save out as a .PDF, but when I try to convert the .PDF to Word I get a bunch of unusual characters. Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated

    OK, I've tried all these tips. Here's what I finally have to do: I open Time Machine. I click on the Pages file and open the Pages file in the Time Machine window. (Restore does not work; nothing works).
    When the Pages file opens, I begin taking screenshots using shift-command-3. I take shots of all 200+ pages of this document. The screenshots are saved to my desktop.
    I then move all 200+ screenshots into one folder, because, face it, that's too many icons to work with on one desktop screen.
    Then I select all the screenshots in the folder at once and open them all in Preview. Then I crop every screenshot using command-K, and save using command-S, and then close that image using command-W.
    When I have cropped all 200+ screenshots, I go back through the folder one by one and adjust the color on each one, moving the mid-range color up to about 75% and the sharpness filter up to about 75%, in order to compensate for the fuzzy image of the screenshot. You can't create a searchable PDF with an image that fuzzy. I do this one by one.
    I make sure everything is saved.
    Then I open all 200+ edited screenshots in Preview and print them out.
    Then I take the 200+ pages of this ****** Pages file and run them through my scanner, making searchable 600 dpi PDFs.
    Then I go to each of the 200+ PDFs and highlight the text, copy, and paste into a NEW word processing document.
    If I'd had 300 pages like the last manuscript, or 700 pages like the one before that, I would have created an Automator program to do all that, but hey, this is not the kind of **** you expect from Apple. Really.  It's taken all week.
    So thanks for your help guys, but no other suggestions worked. I tried to force a download of the file from Dropbox, but got the same result. Besides, my Dropbox folder is saved locally on my harddrive, so it's not their fault. In fact, there is no data in the Dropbox folder under this file name, only preview files. Somehow the Time Machine will open the complete Pages file while in Time Macine, but will not import the saved Time Machine version to the working desktop because it is a preview (i.e., not Preview) image. This is a Pages problem, not a Dropbox problem. Pages did not save the full file.
    If anybody knows a better way to do this, I'd like to know about it. If anybody knows whether I will ever be able to trust Pages again, I'd like to know that too.

  • My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files).

    My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files in it at all - not sure what it would be useful for then).
    Any suggestions?

    Question asked and answered several times.
    If you didn't save, nothing is recoverable.
    iWork apps don't create temp files so, as far as you on't save something, Time Machine can't archive it.
