Pages crashing despite fixes

Having an issue with an i5 iMac 27", no iWork 09 apps will launch.
Have tried:
removing and reinstalling
removing prefs (user and system)
NO user fonts active
It's updated current via software update once the reinstall was done.
I have the crash logs, but nothing looks amiss, or at least different from what I've seen others discussing here:

Actually I did that after my post. Thus far it seems to be working, but I haven't attempted to open any older Pages '09 files yet..which were not opening, and possibly related.
Once I finish my work for the day I'll try opening one and see if it causes issues.

Has Pages crash been fixed yet?

This will probably be umpteenth thread started on the Pages app iPad crash, but I've looked at a bunch and still no progress.
Can someone please tell me if the tech gurus at Apple have fixed the iPad Pages application so it won't crash when iCloud is turned on?
Here's what I've done so far:
Deleted Pages
Redownloaded Pages for reinstall
Started Pages with iCloud turned off
Turned on iCloud with Pages running
Pages immediately crashes
TOTAL RESET of iPad
Initialized as New
Re-downloaded Pages
Installed as new
CRASH
Deleted all documents and folders on iCloud with my MacBook Pro
Reinstalled Pages
CRASH
I am at my wits end... Android is starting to look pretty good about now.

Okay... I think I've sorted out the problem. Hopefully this will help someone else.
First: DO NOT reset your iPad as new. My poor wife lost a lot of data for no good reason.
Analysis: On the MacBook Pro when saving documents it's not always perfectly clear where the document will be saved. When using any application that saves "documents" it's possible to get them splattered all over the place without knowing that's what you're doing. In the meantime, Pages - on both the mac and the iPad, when set to use icloud, will save documents to iCloud. Combine the saved documents from Pages from two devices with various and sundry other documents from other applications and get the directory structure totally messed up and you have the conditions necessary to cause your iPad to crash when using Pages and icloud.
THE Answer: Clean up your directory structure on the Mac and make the icloud directory structure the same. Once that's done - on your iPad turn off the icloud syncing feature in settings for all documents and Pages. Then turn off icloud syncing in Pages. Shut down your iPad. Turn your iPad back on, start Pages with all icloud syncing turned off. With Pages running, go to settings and turn on all the icloud syncing features. Make sure Pages is set to use icloud.
That solved it for us. Basically: Clean up your directory structure and make sure there's no nonsense there.
I know this isn't very technical - but it worked. Pages no longer crashes.

Mac Notes won't connect to iCloud; system preferences crash despite fixes tried

I am on 10.8.5, have not updated to Mavericks yet. My Mac for notes doesn't want to connect to iCloud so that my notes will sync between all devices.
I have tried all of the solutions that seemed to work for others, like deleting cache, rebooting, making sure all devices are set to iCloud, typing a new note. I think I remember telling iCloud not to sync notes many years ago but now I do want it to sync and it won't allow.
Here is the error message I get when I click on 'notes' after going to accounts/icloud.

Pages crashing when printing to PDF

I have a pages document with Chicago Style footnotes. Pages put the footnotes in automatically when I put footnote numbers in my text. When I try to print or export to pdf, Pages crashes. It creates the pdf file, but it is empty. It does not do this with other files, so i am assuming something in the footnote formatting is causing the error.

Check the fonts used.
The last few System updates have installed faulty fonts including Hoefler Text and Franklin Gothic which have caused problems in Pages.
Update your system with the downloaded [Combo OSX 10.6.4|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048] updater to fix the problem.

Pages crashes since Yosemite update

I have two computers, a 15" MacBook Pro and a 11" Air. Since I updated to Yosemite, pages crashes overtime I try to use it.
There are no other updates to fix this if it were a bug and all other programs are running perfectly. What can I do?

It certainly would help if you told us what version of Pages and what the message is you get when it crashes.

Pages crashes when opening AppleWorks

Pages crashes when opening an AppleWorks document. How do I fix this?
Regards

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

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.

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.

Pages crashes when I try to open particular files

I'm having a problem with Pages quitting unexpectedly. It first happened when I resaved a pages file as a second file (.pages format), renamed it, did some editing and saved it. Then I tried to re-open the original file. This was when Pages first crashed. Now it crashes whenever I try to open either of these two files - although it seemingly has no problem with any other files.
There was loads of work in these two files and I desperately need to retrieve them. I cannot seem to open them with any other program either - are there any other programs that will open .pages format?
I have tried several things advised in various forums to deal with crashes. I tried trashing youraccount > library > preferences > com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist, then restarting. I tried verifying then repairing the disk permissions. I tried logging in as a different user. I tried uninstalling then reinstalling iWork. None of these things have made any difference.
I can't seem to contact Apple directly (where is the Technical Support, guys?), so this forum is my last hope.
Can anyone help me? Pleeeeeeeeeease......

Pages crashes with me all the time. I'm resorting to breaking my book into 6 page documents...a major pain. Also sometimes I have to reopen the document before all the photos show up in the layout. What an ustable app.
I even bought a new Mac Pro tower thinking that it was the power pc chip. Can't be fonts since they all crash again even after multiple fresh installs and reinitialize drives.
Tech support says it's because I'm using too many photos.
I may have to go back to Quark. This app is HORRIBLE.

Pages crashes on start-up every time - please help!

About an hour ago Pages crashed (spinning beach ball) while I was working on a document. I had to force-quit. When I tried to re-open, the splash screen didn't appear and it became unresponsive. I had to force-quit again.
These are the troubleshooting steps I've followed:
1. Restart
2. Delete Pages preference files
3. Repair permissions and clean system, local and user font caches
4. Check for corrupted fonts (I use FontExplorer X Pro, a professional font management program, for these last two steps)
5. Completely delete iWork (using AppDelete) from my computer, and reinstall from disk
After all of those steps, Pages still hangs at start-up. I'm out of ideas.
Keynote and Numbers work perfectly, as do other word processing apps like TextEdit and MS Word.
Can you help?

I restarted in Safe Boot mode and opened Pages. It seemed to work fine. After restarting to my user account, Pages opened without a problem. I guess some caches that were corrupted got recreated.

How do you recover a pages document when pages crashes before you can save it for the first time

Pages crashed unexpectedly before I had a chance to save it for the first time. How can I recover that document? It must be out there somewhere!!
Thanks

If it wasn't saved once it is gone.

Pages Crashing

When I close certain documents, Pages crashes. If I save the document immediately before I close it, this seems to be avoided. Occasionally, though, it crashes anyway. I teach piano, making assignment pages in Pages and printing them at the end of a student's lesson. I use one document for each student, creating a new one each September. So these documents do get kind of long (26 pages this week) and contain colored text and some small graphics. I also have a document for each student on which I note lesson plans and other info. These are smaller documents of only text, not more than 4 or 5 pages long, but some of them contain document links & bookmarks. The crashing only occurs when I close the assignment page documents. Does anybody else have this kind of problem?

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but at least you know what to do to keep it from crashing. And maybe someone will come along with the answer you want.

Pages crashes or not responding

I use Pages importing doc and docx files, editing and saving them back and forth between Pages and Word formats. My issue is that Pages crashes frequently (spinning wheel of death) and I must force quit and restart sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. What is going on with this program? I have a MacBook, the current OS, about 120 G of free hard disk space, 2M RAM and use a portable drive for most of the work I do. The files I develop are primarily text files with minimum graphics.

How much RAM is Free (green in the pie chart of Activity Monitor)? Check it just after a restart of the computer and again during typical daily operation with all apps that you normally use running, and a typical Pages document being edited. If the green slice of the pie ever gets to less than 25%, you're a candidate for more RAM.

Pages Crash: Possible Document Recovery?

Hey, as I was inserting a table into an extensive lab report I was typing Pages crashed.
I selected relauch from the crash window and was not greeted by a recovered version of my document. The last time I saved was a about and hour ago, and I would really prefer not to have to retype this all out again.
I went into console and pulled this out:
3/13/08 3:13:35 AM com.apple.launchd[73] ([0x0-0x28028].com.apple.iWork.Pages[391]) Exited abnormally: Segmentation fault
Does pages offer ANY kind of recovery? Does it dump the document on crash into some sort of crash report? Anything at all?
Thanks,
Ron

Welcome to the club.
This question was often asked and responded.
The response is NO .
As with all computer, the b.a.ba is to save regularly when we are working on a long document.
As I know that many users are reluctant to do that, I wrote an Autosave script which is available for FREE on my idisk.

Pages crashes after first synchronization

Hi, everyone.
Last night I synchronized for the first time my home and office Macs using Leopard and my .Mac account. Since then, my office copy of Pages crashes shortly after I start using other programs. The screen simply dissapears. The program is apparently still running but there's nothing on the screen. The only way for Pages to work again is restarting the computer, and again it crashes when I start using other programs.
I tried restoring Pages using Time Machine. I also tried deleting iWork and reinstalling from the disk. Even tried updating the program. The same thing happens... Pages is fine until I start opening programs.
I use Pages all the time, so this is really frustrating. Your help would be truly appreciated.

Lost is lost.
Buy it from the Mac App Store. It is not that expensive and you will then get all updates automatically and be able to install it on several Macs so long as you use the same Apple I.D.
In future I suggest you protect your investment in software by buying an installer USB drive and adding all your installers along with purchase records and serial numbers on that.
