Pages document will not share via email

After completing a document in Pages and then want to email it, I click Share via email and then Word. Nothing happens. Not even an error message.
Any ideas about why?

When you attempt to send an IOS Pages v1.7+ (older Pages ’09 format) document via gmail, it arrives with the file extension .pages, and if Pages v5 is installed, the attached document acquires the new icon style.
Within Apple Mail, you can hover over the horizontal line and with selection of the paperclip icon, you can open the .pages attachment with Quick Look. Again, if you have Pages v5 installed, the Open with Pages button in Quick Look will use that as a default version with the following cautionary dialog. If you press and hold on that Quick Look Open button, it will appear as the Finder's open with menu and you can choose to open in Pages v4.3.
When you originate the .pages document from IOS Pages v2+ (new format compatible with Pages v5 on OS X), and choose to send it via Gmail (or iCloud), it will arrive as filename.pages.zip. This is a compressed file format that Pages v5 cannot access without first uncompressing it.
If you revisit the original second paragraph above, Quick Look will show you a large compressed icon dialog. However, there is an uncompress button in the upper right that will open a new Finder window with the original .pages and .zip files within it. You can then select the .pages document and click Open with Pages. By default, this document will open in Pages v5 if installed, or fail in Pages v4.3 with the following warning dialog because of a document format mismatch. Anything Pages v5 opens is poisoned for subsequent Pages ’09 v4.3 access, unless first exported as Pages ’09 from within Pages v5.
And intuitively, it is pointless to send a .pages document via email to anyone without the proper version of Pages installed.

  • New pages documents will not load as email attachment

    For some reason I cannot send any pages documents as an attachement in the updated pages app? Anyone else having this problem?

    I  am having the same problem, and zipping doesn't help. .pages docs are not even listed as part of what gmail rejects, but it must see something executable in the files.

  • A Pages document will not open.  Others do, but are slow.  Need this document!

    A Pages document will not open and there is a screen annoucement it will not open.  Other Pages documents do open, but are slow.  The one that will not open now was also very slow.  My last visit to the Apple store the Genius Bar said I needed a new HD.  Is this the final straw and it's time to take it in and let them replace it?  Under warrently.

    Do we know what document won't open?
    Do we also know what version of Pages you are talking about, on what MacBook Pro?
    Something tells me you are not using Mac OSX (10.7), the only thing you have noted.
    If your Mac is running slow, the usual reason is your hard drive is too full. OSX likes 10-15% free space.

  • Page documents will not open.

    Suddenly some of my page documents will not open. I get this message: You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. I have the newest version and it has been opening these documents just fine previously

    Sounds like you have both Pages 5 and Pages '09 on your Mac and are alternately opening them.
    When Pages 5 was installed, your iWork '09 software was moved to your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 .pages files.
    Don't toss Pages '09 however as it has vastly more features and is less buggy than Pages 5.

  • My pages documents will not open?

    My pages documents will not open and I am not happy at all?

    Hi italiancooking,
    This may help. In Finder, right click (or control click) on the document icon and Open With > Preview. If this works, copy the content and paste it into a new blank Pages document.
    Regards,

  • One of my pages documents will not open. the others will

    Hello, wondering if anyone has any answers here. One  (only one) of my pages document will not open. The message says `the document couldn`t be opened` and there is a little yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle of it,  next to the message. I used this document this morning, no problem. Also, I checked other pages documents and there is no problem only with one.
    Kind regards,
    Thank you

  • Pages 09...Share via email

    Trying to share via email in Pages 09. This option is grayed out.
    Operating Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
    Is there a compatibilty problem?
    Thanks

    Bad user interface design by Apple.
    The greyed out item is actually a heading for the choices below them.
    Apple should have made the choices a pop out menu, but I think this was done by the unpaid intern.

  • Specific Pages document will not sync to iPad?

    I have a document which I created in Pages on my iPad, which is using iCloud for document storage. When I updated to Mountain Lion and the latest Pages for Mac, this document - and another I had imported from a Word document, both in the same iCloud folder - did not initially appear, though both could be in iCloud found when using the search function within Pages for Mac. I edited the document on my Mac.
    Afterwards, I found that folder did not appear in Pages on either my iPhone or iPad. After editing that document and moving it to another folder with older documents in it, it reappeared on my iPhone, but not on my iPad. I have tried everything I can think of short of restoring the iPad from backup: editing various documents or moving them, both from the iPad and my other devices, to try and provoke a refresh on the iPad; turning iCloud usage off and back on, so that all doucments are downloaded again; removing Pages from the iPad altogether, then reinstalling it; even temporarily turning off iCloud backup of Pages on the iPad before reinstalling it, to make sure it's downloading an outdated backup of the files instead of accessing what's currently on iCloud.
    No matter what I do, that document - of course the one I most need to work on - appears in iCloud on icloud.com, my iPhone and my Mac when looking at Pages docs, but not on the iPad. It does appear in the list of Pages documents if I go into "Manage Storage" under iCloud -> Storage & Backup in Settings on the iPad, but I cannot access it via the Pages app.
    Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Given everything else I've tried I have a hard time believing it will be fixed by restoring to a backup,and I'm worried about versioning problems if I try and import it on the iPad (by emailing it to myself or similar).

    If you are able to move the document to your desktop on your Mac, you should do so. Then delete all references to that document in the iCloud on your mobile devices, at iCloud.com and if necessary from system preferences> iCloud> manage.
    Once you are sure it has been removed from all locations, try adding it back using a slightly different filename, from your desktop.

  • Pages document will not open, it says I need a newer version of Pages.  I have already installed and created this document in the new version of Pages

    I just created a document in Pages.  Now when I try to open my document in Pages I am given a message that I need a newer version of Pages to open it.  When I go to the Appstore it shows that I have already downloaded the latest version.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Pages document will not open unless I buy a newer version

    I wrote a document only a few days ago using Pages v. 4.3. Now, when I try to open the document, it says that I need to buy a newer version of Pages if I want to open the document. How do I get access to my document? This is the only item that I have found so far that I can't open with my current version of Pages (the same version that I wrote the document with).

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.

  • Why Photos will not send via email?

    Why can't I send photos via email any more?

    Not enough information to know, but you might try rebooting your iPad.  Press and hold both the home and power buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (hold past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  Try emailing a picture and let us know if this worked for you.

  • How do i save a PDF document sent to me via email to Pages on my IPad

    Hey All,  I have a document that i want on my IPad.  How do i save a PDF document sent to me via email to Pages on my IPad?

    You can't. You can export Pages files as PDF documents but you cannot save a PDF into Pages. It does not support that feature.
    There are tons of PDF apps in the App Store aside from iBooks. Adobe Reader makes a pretty decent PDF app that will store, annotate, rename, highlight, use form fields, sign pdf's, and organize in folders. It is free as well. There are other apps, you just have to Serach for them.
