'Pages' docs created on iPad1 won't open with iPad3

I use my iPad with my band for notes and occasional lyrics. I created 'Pages' documents on my iPad 1 and my MacBook Pro. Now that I have an iPad 3, previous documents will not open. Why?

Why? Hard to say. Are you using iCloud on the new iPad and is it setup on the new iPad?
You can try quitting Pages completely and then restart the iPad. If that doesn't work, reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Pages docs created on iPad won't sync with macbook pro

    When I create a Pages document on my iPad version 1... it appears on my MacBook - but remains permanently in 'updating' status - I have some on there that were created several months ago and cannot be downloaded.  If I create a doc on my MacBook, upload it to iCloud.. it syncs within seconds to my iPad.... but if I then edit it more on my iPad it appears edited on my MacBook, but again in permanent 'updating' status.  Can anyone help...or will I have to make the trek to the Genius bar?

    Try saving any documents that you can and then deleting them from each device where possible. Go to System preferences> iCloud> manage and delete any iWork documents that you see there. Then go to each device and turn off iCloud documents & data syncing on each.
    Once everything has been removed, you can then re-enable document & data syncing on each device. Add back a couple of documents (do not add any documents that used the same name as any documents previously) and see how it goes. Once it appears to be working correctly, you can then add back all your documents.
    Whilst it won't help you recover documents that have already become corrupt, can I suggest you get into the habit of backing up your documents in the cloud regularly.

  • How can i setup pages to automatically open when double clicked.  Currently when I double click it creates cpgz file and does not open.  The only way to open pages doc is to manually ask to open with pages.

    Hi Karen,
    Sounds like OS X has lost the association between Pages and its files.
    Start by quitting Pages, then going to Finder.
    In Finder, locate a .pages file. Click on it (once), then press command-I (eye, not one) to Get Info.
    In the Info window that opens, expand the Open With section.
    In this section, click on the pop-up menu and choose Pages (even if Pages is already shown).
    Click the Change All button to associate all files with the .pages extension with Pages.
    Close the info window.
    Double click any .pages file to check that Pages will now launch and open the file.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Pages docs created in iPad do not synch with macbook pro

    I have updated all software on macbook pro, ipad and iphone.  Pages docs. synch on iphone and ipad but not on macbook pro.  I have set up cloud on all.
    Additionally, I REALLY liked iwork and was able to collaborate with colleagues on documents.
    NOW WHAT?

    Try saving any documents that you can and then deleting them from each device where possible. Go to System preferences> iCloud> manage and delete any iWork documents that you see there. Then go to each device and turn off iCloud documents & data syncing on each.

  • Hi, App Store tells me I have installed the latest Pages update, yet it will not open Pages docs created on other machines that DO have the latest version . Any tips?

    Hi
    Pages 5.0 and 10.9.
    While App Store tells me there is no update avalable to Pages, which it says was installed Nov. 4, its the old Avatar/logo thingo and, as I say, it will not open the Pages docs created on my MacBook, which definiitely does have the new Pages running smoothly.
    cheers

  • I was sent a .pages doc.  When I try to open it with pages I'm told "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have the newest version of pages on my computer. What should I do?

    I wonder if you are running an OS earlier than 10.9.x?  If so, you cannot run the *latest* version of Pages, which is 5.1.  Apple is trying to get you to update your OS to 10.9 Mavericks and then get you to update (but defintiely not upgrade) your Pages version to 5.1.  5.1 is, in everything but name, beta software. It not only has many bugs, it also lacks more than 90 features that are present in version 4.3 ("Pages 09"). One workaround that is to open the file with Pages for icloud (this is explcitly beta) and click tools|download a copy in Word format.  Pages 4.3, which is probably the version you have, can open Word documents.  Get a cup of coffee or a glass of wine before starting Pages for icloud: it is s-l-o-w.

  • How to get pages docs created on a macpro to show up on iPad and iPhone both with ios5

    Yesterday (October 19, 2011) I updated to the latest OS's and pages app on my macpro and ipad2 and iphone3gs. When I create a pages doc on the macpro and save it I do not see it appear on the ipad2 and iphone3gs at all including within the pages docs window. Yet my iCalendar updates beautifully across all three devices. My question is what are the steps to get a pages doc created on a macpro to "automatically" become available and thereon update automatically in pages on my ipad and iphone?

    on Mac OS X there is no icloud enabled apps at this time. iWork09 for Mac wont sync your data to iCloud.
    To get documents to the cloud and thus to your IOS5 devices you need to visit www.icloud.com/iwork and manually upload your files  ( or use drag and drop from Mac Desktop to the browser ).
    This is no joke. Spreaded all over this support forums you find people that wondered how to do it until it was found out that iwork syncing is only enabled on iOS but not on OSX.

  • PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader

    I consider Preview to be a swiss army knife when it comes to working with PDF and graphic files. Lately (since the last OS update?) PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader. Reader either crashes or just becomes unresponsive. I've been able to open the files in older versions of Adobe Professional but Reader 8 or 9 can't open the files. Anyone else experiencing these problems?

    Yes. We noticed this problem after upgrading to 10.6.7. When we made a PDF from Word 2011 or even Text Edit through Adobe's "Save as Adobe PDF" it would hang. When we made a PDF using Apple's "Save as PDF" it would lock up Acrobat Pro 9 and also Acrobat Pro X. NOTE that this only happened using Adobe OTF fonts.
    I posted this problem on Adobe's forum and received a message from admin there that this was caused by a change in font handling with Apple's 10.6.7 update.
    As of yet, no solution has been posted. I also received a message from Adobe's Tech Support that it was forwarded to their engineers.
    Still waiting.

  • Pages cycles through documents and won't open any of them - what do I do?

    Pages cycles through documents and won't open any of them - what do I do?

    Thanks for replying -
    my operating system is OS X Lion 10.7.5
    Pages version 4.3
    What I mean by 'cycles through documents" is that when I attempt to either open a document or just open the application - it looks like the application begins to start - I see the first page of a bunch of documents very quickly going from left to right on my screen but then I see a bar in the middle of the screen (I'm not sure what its called but its the one that tells you to wait while the computer does something) - and then it just stays there, never opening the documents.
    My version of pages has always had the "cycling" effect at the beginning but it always ended quickly and I could begin working on my documents - now.... I can't begin working on anything and the only option I have is to force quit.
    Thanks for any advice you can give me!

  • I am trying to get pages docs created on my iPhone onto my iMac

    I am trying to get pages docs created on my iPhone onto my iMac. I have iTunes 10.5 and the help docs says that in iTunes the Pages app should automatically list the docs on my iPhone. I am using the 'send to iTunes' option in the 'share and print' menu but no files appear in iTunes (the iPhone is connected and recognised by iTunes). Any ideas? The docs don't mention that I need a particular version on Pages on my Mac.
    Any help gratefully recevied.
    Andrew

    Dear Peter,
    Thank you for the suggestion. I have looked at the discussion you highlighted. Unfortunately, it does not really deal with the issue I am experiencing. The discussion concerns problems with iCloud. I am not attempting to use iCloud to transfer files.
    The discussion does mention using iTunes to first back up the files. However, the correspondent does not mention the problem I am experiencing. I understand from the help docs that when I after I have synced my iPhone, then the files I have created using Pages should be listed in the Apps part of iTunes. However, this does not seem to be so on my computer. The files do not appear even when I use the 'send to iTunes' option.
    Is there something I am missing?
    Any further help gratefully received,
    Andrew

  • I just started using the Pages app on my iPad2. Two questions: Do I have to buy the Pages iPhone app separately or will the iPad version sync to my iPhone 3GS? Am I able to sync Pages docs created on my iPad2 for viewing/editing on my iPhone 3GS?

    You can use the File Sharing feature at the bottom of the iTunes Apps pane when you connect to iTunes. Transfer the documents to your computer, and from there to your iPhone.

  • IDVD won't open with OS 10.5.8 -can't record on to blank DVD discs

    When I attempt to open iDVD application, message says it won't open with this OS. Also when I insert a blank DVD (Verbatim) disc am unable to record a film on to it as I get this message: "The disc can't be burned because the device failed to calibrate the laser power for this level of media." I've seen this message on a previous post on this forum but could not see any solution posted. I have recorded onto DVD discs in the past (different make of disc and before I upgraded to Leopard).
    I can record on to blank CD audio discs without any problem however.

    The first thing to try (IMO important) is not to import directly from your camera. Get a Firewire-connected card reader (USB works also but is slow on Macs) and use the Mac's Finder to copy images from the card to a folder on the Mac hard drive. My description below describes a CF card, but the workflow is the same for an SD card or whatever.
    I feel pretty strongly that camera-to-Aperture handling of original images puts originals at unnecessary risk. I suggest this workflow, first using the Finder (not Aperture) to copy images from CF card to computer hard drive:
    • Remove the CF card from the camera and insert it into a CF card reader. Faster readers and faster cards are preferable, and Firewire is much preferable to USB2.
    • Finder-copy images from CF to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive.
    • Eject CF.
    • Burn DVD copies of the original images (optional backup step).
    • Eject DVDs (optional backup step).
    • From within Aperture, import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location."
    • Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing).
    • Reformat CF in camera, and archive DVDs of originals off site.
    Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media.
    Good luck! The camera-to-Aperture workflow may or may not be the cause of your specific problem this time but in any event card-to-finder long term will provide a more solid workflow.

  • Recovered CR2 files won't open with CS3

    Hey, I need help with this!
    I worked in a photoshoot with a Canon EOS Rebel XSi and SD memory; then I had troubles trying to download them because the memory wouldn't let me do it, so I used the 'PC Inspector Smart Recovery' and I recovered all my CR2 files indeed. BUT! some of them won't open with Photoshop CS3, most of them do, but there's just some others that won't open and I really need to get this job done
    My camera files always worked perfectly with photoshop CS3, plugins are installed, I really don't know what went wrong.

    I am having a similar problem.  I downloaded CR2 files from my camera to my computer and CS3 Bridge will not recognize the files, allow me to open in Camera Raw or open in CS3 Photoshop.  I also stuck the same memory card in a Lexar mem card reader and attempted to download to my Mac in CS4 Bridge and that version of Photoshop and Bridge won't recognize the files either, however the CR2 files do appear, where I can view the thumbnails, in iPhoto.  All original files are still on the memory cards (4 cards worth of wedding photos!).  I've downloaded Camera Raw updates for both cs3 and cs4 on my windows pc and my mac and still no luck.  I'm at my witts end! Help!
