Pages Documents created on iPad or iCloud will not open in iWork Pages on Macbook

I recently purchased the iPad Air and installed the latest version of Pages on it to share and create documents in Pages over iCloud between my devices. Before, I never had any issue creating a Pages document, say on a Windows OS at work, and then opening it up on my Macbook Pro in the latest version of Pages (5.0). Now when I attempt to open a Pages document created or edited on my iPad or through a browser using iCloud, it will give this message on my Macbook:
"You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. You can download the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store."
I have repeatedly checked and all software is up to date. I have also attempted turning iCloud off and on again on both devices. One of the biggest reasons I bought the iPad was to have my documents on the go, but if I can't edit them later on my laptop, what's the point? Any ideas?

Jeff,
In the few moments after answering your first reply, I double-checked the Mac App Store and it revealed an update for Pages 5.1 -- Issue Resolved! I guess it was just cranky software today. Thanks for your patience.

I have an iPad 2. Safari will not open any web pages.

I have an iPad 2 which I have had for almost a year. I have never had trouble with my WiFi before and now Safari is not working. It will not open any web pages. All of my apps (like Facebook and IMDB) that require an internet connection are working. Safari on my iPhone is working with my WiFi. I have tried resetting my WiFi and my iPad and that has not helped. I took it to an Apple store and they told me nothing was wrong with it because Safari was working in their store. When I brought it home it worked for a day and is now not working again. Any ideas?

From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
Press the red to delete the Safari app from this list.
Press the home twice button when done.
Restart Safari.

Firefox will not open to home page as directed in options and settings. Opening in safe mode makes no difference, either. Any ideas?

Firefox will not open to home page as set in the settings. Even in safe mode, it still will not open to home page as directed. It seems to want to open to last set of tabs, even though that is not the way it was set in settings. It seems as though the settings do not have any impact on the way it behaves!!!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

HT204150 icloud will not open any applicatons on pc. Contact, calendar etc.

icloud will not open any applications on pc. contact, calendar, etc.

I can use icloud.com in IE10 but the odd thing is that I believe iCloud in not compliant with IE10 and needs to run in Compatibility mode. But for some reason IE10 see's it as compliant. You can go into the Compatibility mode through Compatibility view settings and manually addin icloud.com. As for icloud in my opinion its really forgot about the rest of the world that does not use a Mac, iPhone or iPad. I cannot get the settings to work with icloud with any Android device, or using Chrome browser even though selecting display desktop site gets you a slightly broken icloud.com on Chrome browser in Android. Although many things dont work right. Same goes for IE10 as I have expieienced with crating a email message. It appears as though the backspace after the first line of a message does not work and I could not reposition cursor either. I am so glad I don't have to use icloud for much because I doubt I could deal with it as it is now. I guess another option is to try Chrome on your PC or Firefox?
Chrome should work as it is a WebKit based browser as is Safari. If iCloud works with Safari it should work with Chrome. But anymore their is no guarantee's.

Pages died today. Just downloaded the latest update 2 days ago. Last night shutting down my very new MacBook Pro, Pages stopped shut down. Today Pages will not open, all my Pages docs cannot open. Help please! Anybody have a fix?

You probably have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 in your Applications folder, will open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them. It can not open Pages '08 files.
Pages '08/'09 in your Applications/iWork folder which can not open Pages 5 files.
When you were shutting down you probably had an unsaved document open.
You probably are opening the wrong versions of Pages to open the wrong document format.
Pages 5 has had over 90+ features removed.
Most users are going back to Pages 09 whilst Apple sorts this out.

Safari will not open to home page

I down loaded Lion and now Safari will not open to home page and preferences are set for home page?

Thanks, At least I know I am not the only one. I have had nothing but problems down loading Lion. First I did not have enough memory so I spent $128 for up grade to 4 GB. Then I down loaded Lion and it crushed my disc and spent another $181 to up grade to a T1. Then down loaded Lion to find out a lot of bugs with it. For what was to cost me $29.95 end up costing me $339.
You would think I would learn by now not to up grade at once. I am one of the dummies that spent $699 for the first iPhone for them too drop the price weeks later.
If I figure out answer I will post for you asap.

My wi-fi connection is enabled, however Safari is telling me the server stopped responding. My laptop is working fine on the same wi-fi network. I have reset the network settings and still Safari will not open any web pages. Help!

Ralph..........Did as you suggested and I am still getting the message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". I am not able to connect with anything on the Internet. Frustrating since I am able to connect with my laptop. Thanks for the suggestion.

My iPad camera iris will not open?

My iPad camera iris will not open and camera will not function

Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I need to install iWork 9 on my new mac that has Pages 5.2 that will not open my older Pages docs. How do I ensure that the 9 will open them instead of the 5.2

I need to install iWork 9 on my new iMac that currently has Pages 5.2 which will not open my older Pages docs. I do not want the 5.2 to interfere with the opening of my docs in the 9. How do I ensure this without removing the 5.2 (that might improve with age)? If I rename the 5.2 for now, will that work? Thank you for any assistance.

Just install iWork '09 and make sure you update it to the latest v4.3:

You can run both Pages '09 and Pages 5.2 but will need to right click on your files to open them with the right version, because all Pages files have the same file extension: .pages.

Firefox only shows untitled page and "done" in the lower left, will not open any page.

When I open Firefox I only get an untitled tab and "done" in the lower left. It will not open any web page. I have XP. I think this started when I installed AVG 2011. I have uninstalled the avg and still can't get it to work. My internet connection is work as I am getting my email through Outlook. I recovering to before this all happened and that did not help. Also, IE won't open, so I have no web browsing available.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.<br />
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.<br />
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls<br />
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_websites
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Pages documents created on ipad 2 don't show up in icloud documents

I have an icloud account that I can access on my ipad2 and pc with windows 7. I have created pages documents on my ipad, but when I access icloud on my pc, there are no pages (or any other) documents stored on icloud. Can anyone help?

First check that all your settings are correct, that reminders syncing (calendars on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the reminders you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device by tapping the icon with three lines in the top left corner of the screen, or the right side panel by clicking on the small triangle to the right of the word 'Reminders' in iCal on a computer), non iCloud reminders will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your reminders are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking reminders syncing (calendars syncing on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

Pages will not open a downloaded .pages document from iCloud because index.xml file not found?

New to using iCloud. I created a large pages document on Mac Air and saved it to my iCloud account. Found it at home on desktop Mac and downloaded it. No problem. However, it will not open due to the index.xml file not being found. What should I do to open this document? I've tried several things and no luck yet. Thanks for any tips! :-)

Options posted here: The required index.xml file is missing.

Try this. It worked for me:
1. Single click on the document. This will "highlight" the document icon, but not invoke the error message.
2. Click on "File" in the menu.
3. Scroll down to "Open With".
4. One of my choices in the "Open With" selection is Pages (default) (5.0.1)
5. Click on that choice and the document should open.
In my "Open WIth" selection there is also a Pages (4.0.4), but that didn't work for me.
Now, here is a caveat. If before you open your document you instead first click on an open Internet window, then the "Open With" selection disappears from the File menu. In that case just single click again on the document icon again and the "Open With" selection returns.

Try this:
1. Make a duplicate of the file (cmd D), just to be safe
2. Select .pages on the copy and change to .zip
3. When the System asks if you really want to do this, click Use .zip
4. Double click the new .zip file
5. It will now appear as a folder with no extension
6. Append .pages to the end of the folder name
7. Again click on Use .pages
8. Double click on this file to open it in Pages.
What you have done is extracted all the Pages resources from the .pages "package" and reconstructed it.
