Pages- Documen't can't be opened in iCloud for iOS

Wondering if anyone else had this issue on their ios devices using icloud to store documents in pages. One of my documents, when i tap on them on the app simply says 'document can't be opened', but i opened it before and it was fine but now i simply cannot open or download it, not even on icloud.com. tried deleting the pages app on the ipad and reinstalling it but still that one document cannot be opened :/ it's really annoying as it's my only copy and its really important so is there any way to retrieve it? has anyone else had these issues?

I had this same problem and this is the workaround that I found. However you mjust have a copy of Acrobat and Word on your computer to get it to work.
1. Open the document in Preview
2. Export as PDF
3. Open that PDF in Acrobat.
4. Export as Word doc
5. Open in Pages
Although I have to reset my images, my formatting is still there. Possibly saving me hours of work.

  • HT1750 Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old.  To open it, save it with Pages 09 first          still can't open pages document

    I recently purchased a new Mac and I am having difficulty opening older Pages documents.
    Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old.  To open it, save it with Pages 09 first          still can't open pages document

    Either you have access to Pages ’08 v3, Pages ’09 v4, or neither. One of these older, but more functional versions of Pages can open, and export the document in question to Word. Preview on OS X 10.9.5 and Yosemite can view Pages ’08 documents (in my experience). It is not obvious to me that Preview may be using the installed Pages ’09 v4.3 to assist in opening these '08 documents.
    Once opened in Preview, you can select/paste text into Pages v5.2.2, or v5.5. If you want the images from the PDF, then export it from Preview as PDF, and then drag/drop onto latest free LibreOffice icon in the Dock, which will open the PDF for editing. Select, copy, and paste the images into Pages v5, or incorporate into Text boxes, or Shapes. When pasted, images will be in their original size/resolution, not necessarily as small as they appear in the PDF.
    If the second paragraph is a chore, then follow Peggy's advice above on the sources for purchase of Pages ’09.
    In the future, I would not recommend trusting document architecture to Apple, and use a more accessible format (.doc/x) for better cross-platform access, longevity, and application choice. You may find LibreOffice, or Office for Mac 2011 a better choice for features.

    Ok, this is a mac question: With the order changed so that the ethernet comes first, why is it still showing my connection to the neighbor's wireless? Am I reading that wrong? OR am I connected to both at the same time? If so, why would it connect twice to the internet?
    Probably because you neighbor has no security on his network. Does his network show a lock like
    If it does he's got security turned on, if there is no lock showing he hasn't turned it on.

  • Pages error: document can't be opened.

    I use my pages app for most of my writings.
    I Have a lot of important documents in there that I use every day. Every time time I finish editing one of them, I always sync it to iCloud, to make sure it's backed up safely.
    I also have pages installed in my iPhone and Mac.
    Today I tried to open one of my documents using the iPad, but a little message appears: "The document can't be opened".
    Naturally, I've tried opening using my iPhone, Mac and iCloud website, but they all display the same message. The website says it can't download the file.
    I opened all the others documents to make sure they're all working. So the problem seems to be with this specific document.
    I also tried emailing it, and was successful, but the document won't open. When I try deleting it from my Mac an weird message also appears:
    “Document” cannot be converted. Please install a newer version of iWork.
    I have no idea how to fix this problem.
    The only thing which I can think of that may have cause the problem is that, sometimes after uploading to iCloud, I also open pages in my iPhone just to download and keep it safe there also. Maybe during this transfer the file got corrupted somehow.
    It's an important document that I need to recover.
    I appreciate any suggestions.

    I agree with weathertx.
    What in the h*** are they doing?
    I hit the ALL STOP butting on upgrading to Mavericks when stuff started going sideways - this is just the latest.
    Trying to use iWork for the first time - and same issue.  Created a document on my iPad in Pages (I will check for update to pages but there is none indicating I need to in my App store)....and sent that pages file to my Mac Air in DropBox - tried to open "missing XML file" error and when I open the package - there really is NO XML file.  I am not a programmer and should not have to be - to create or complie a missing system file that it needs. 
    Wait a sec.. WORD works but I import a file made in Pages App to Pages and is does not on my Mountian Lion MacAir..?  What?  *pinches self*
    This cannot be fixed by us.  I know that I am making far too many trips to the bug page these days - this is all starting to remind me of days gone buy when I left the PC world for this same reason.  I don't want to be a beta tester.  There is no money in this for me.
    In fact it's the reverse - this is costing me $$.
    This is not very encouraging.
    Pathetic.  Apple should be looking over the fence at this type of thing.  Thier users are the ones that you want to keep, shoudl be your greatest testimonial. 
    This is not a testimonlal in the right direction.

  • Spreadsheet can't be opened from iCloud

    It will not open on any of my devices (iPhone, iMac, MacBook Pro, or iPad).  I have the latest OS and iWorks installed on all devices.  Seemed to start with a conflict message stating that the file hadn't been sync'd on another device.  I made a selection of which to use (the latest) and then started to get the "Spreadsheet can't be opened" message.  It seems odd that there would be such a conflict since I hadn't accessed the file

    Any updates?  I ran into this issue today with Pages, so I restored my iPad from backup.  It did NOT fix the Pages issue.  In fact, it ruined Numbers as well.  Over 50 documents with very important data have been wiped out.  These documents are no longer in iCloud, nor are they accessible from my iPhone anymore.
    When these products first came out, I was like "Great! I'll never lose any of my work again!"  Yeah, right...  This one issue has lost more of my work than all of my previous computer problems over the last 20 years combined......

  • Why can I not open Numbers documents in iOS

    I have a problem with Numbers on iOS and Mac OS X (Mountain Lion (version 10.8.2) that I have seen asked before, but to which I have yet to see an answer. I've been using iWork on iOS devices since it was introduced for the iPad and iPhone, and I use it on a MacBook. Across an iPhone 5, iPad, iPad mini, and the MacBook, I am unable to open numerous documents created last year. The most recent spreadsheets open alright, but the vast majority won't open, generating the error "Spreadsheet can't be opened." I have all the lastest system software updates on all of these machines. It appears it is the same documents that cannot be opened on each of the machines. None of the documents have the "uploading" indicator (up arrow), but some of them have the stock Numbers icon (a bar chart in black and gray), while some have a document preview. It's unclear if this is related, but several of the documents on the iPad mini appear to be in a perpetual state of downloading, with progress bars running through their stock Numbers icon, and never filling up/completing.

  • I don't have any files in pages but i can see them online in iCloud

    All files from pages missing from Pages how I can sync them from ICloud?

    Hey CristiRizea,
    You can download your documents from icloud.com and go to the Pages app. From there, select the document and click on the settings icon that looks like a gear and you will have an option to download your document with a few different options like Pages and Microsoft Word. Take a look at the link below for more information.

  • Can we Select Open Item Management for Recon Accounts??

  • Where can I find the filename list for iOS image Default.png ?

    I have a really hard time finding where information is scattered on Adobe. Does anyone know the definitive list of supported Default image filename for iOS publishing?
    Here is what I was using previously to support up to iPhone5 in portrait orientation:
    Default.png
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    Default-Portrait.png
    [email protected]
    I'd like to add iPhone 6 and 6+
    thanks

    Up until now, I would include these images for a landscape only app:
    [email protected]
    Default-Landscape.png
    [email protected]
    Default.png
    [email protected]
    The Default-Landscape.png would appear on non Retina iPad, and would be correct whichever way you held the device. Likewise [email protected] would do the same for Retina iPad.
    According to your article, Default-Landscape@2x doesn't exist any more, and Default-Landscape is now specifically for Landscape Left.
    Is this correct, or can we continue to only have Default-Landscape & Default-Landscape@2x?
    My guess/hope is that the article is wrong, and that there is both a Default-Landscape@2x still, and a Default-LandscapeLeft, and that Default-Landscape is not specifically for Landscape Left.

  • Can I create albums in iPhoto for iOS

    My albums in iPhoto on my MacBook are imported to my iPad. But I can't add photos to the albums, I guess because they were created in iPhoto, not iPhoto for iOS. So I thought I would create the albums on my ipad in iPhoto for iOS, and import the old photos to is, and add new ones. But it doesn't appear that you can create albums in iPhoto iOS.  Can this be true?

    You create (tagged) albums in iPhoto iOS by tagging. If you want a new album, you create a custom tag with the name of the album you want, and all photos with that tag will appear in your custom album.
    Or create regular albums in the Photos.app. All albums created in the Photos.app are visible in iPhoto for iOS:

  • Saved pages 09 documents can not be opened

    For the last week, I have not been able to open documents created and saved in pages 09 in my mac.  When I try to open I get a message indicating that I need that I need to pupdate to the newer version of pages - though I never used this version to create the document as I do not have it.  I have thought about updating but have hear so many negative comments about the new pages.  Questions:  Does anyone know the solution to this problem WITHOUT having to update? and, is anyone having a better experience with the new version of pages than what I am reporting?

    My guess is you have been syncing your documents with iCloud, which has been altering them.
    Try turning it off in
    Menu > Apple > System Preferences > iCloud > uncheck Documents and Data

  • How do I save a copy of my web page so I can show it to my boss for corrections

    I have CS3, I have done the updates to our web site now I need to email it to my boss for his corrections and I would like it to look just like it does on the web page.
    Thanks

    Thanks
    I'm assume the old pages are uploaded on the web and the new updated pages are in your local site root folder on your computer?
    If that is the case create a new folder in your local site root folder.
    Window>Files
    In the files widow click on the tiny small arrow up in the top right corner select file>new folder.
    You can use the shortcut on Mac by control clicking in the window itself, not sure of the short cut on a PC, probably command click. Might actually be the same as the Mac.
    That creates a new folder in your site folder. Name it 'updates'
    Next select the page that you have updated and duplicate it by selecting the tiny arrow at the top right of the files window. Choose Edit>Duplicate
    Now drag the duplicate file to the newly created folder whilst in the files window. You'll get a promt to update all the links.
    Once this has been done it is probably best to rename the duplicated files to get rid of (Copy of aboutUs.html). Rename it something like aboutUs_updated.html  and then upload the new folder to your webserver.
    Provide links to the new updated pages in an email to your boss.
    www.whatever.com/updates/aboutUs_updated.html
    IMPORTANT: Make sure you move/drag files within the file window otherwise all the links will be lost.
    Once your boss has made the amends you can correct the original aboutUs.html file.

    ■ Easiest method, if you allow firefox to tabs you used then on restarting I believe it also retains the zoom settings
    * '''Tools -> Options -> General -> Startup = use current pages'''
    ■ There are also extensions that can be used, some allow individual sites to have individual settings. Look at the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/772884 this thread] which also discusses related matters.
    ■ The best method if you need the same effest accross all sites is probably changing one of the preferences within the config files, it is discussed in the above linked thread and also in this MozzillaZine article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Layout.css.dpi

    Thanks for your reply.
    Anyway, here is what I am trying to do:
    It is for a context sensitive display. I am going to sprinkle command links throughout the system and each link will query the database for a specific string and bring out the results in a pop up window.
    I have a backing bean that does the query and a JSF form (that I am trying to pop up) that uses this bean to display the results.
