Pages Documents created on my iPad won't open on my MBP

My daughter has a MBP running 10.8.3 with Pages ’09 v4.3. and an iPad 2 running 6.1.3 with Pages  1.7.2 that she takes to Uni.
Pages documents that she creates on her MBP and saves to iCloud will open on both her MBP and her iPad but Pages documents that she created on her iPad and saved to iCloud will not open on her MBP.
The error message states-
"You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. Use Softwear Updtate to install the latest version of iWork"
She has run Software Updates on both devices and everything appears to be up to date.
Suggestion on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

Does she happen to have an older version of iwork on her Mac by any chance? I wonder if the document has somehow been attached to an older version of Pages & that is why the error is showing? I had the same problem with a quicken file. when I downloaded the web connect file, I got an error that the file couldn't be opened. I think I had to right click on the file & then choose 'open with' to find the correct application.
If that doesn't fix it, it might also be worth emailing herself the document to see if the issue is in the export from the ipad, or if it's with the icloud part of the equation.

  • .pse multi-page document created in Elements 6 won't open in Elements 12.

    Recently upgraded to Photoshop Elements 12 from version 6 (Mac). When I try to open a .pse multiple page document created in 6, I get the error message "can not open this multiple page document".

    The only workaround i can think of offhand is to open the individual files that make up the pse into photoshop elements 12.
    Right click on the pse file and click on Show Package Contents
    Then in the finder window that opens you should see a folder with the individual psd files inside.
    Those psd files should then open in the pse 12 editor.

  • Pages Document created on Macbook Air cannot be opened on Ipad Mini. I get a message that reads, "only documents saved in pages '09 may be opened." These devices are one week old and I just downloaded Pages for each.

    I just got a Macbook Air running 10.8.2 and an iPad Mini. I downloaded Pages for both. I created a document in pages on the MBair and tried to save it to the iPad Mini so I could work on it while commuting and the file does not show up on the mini. I have tried to saved the file through iTunes app page and the message keeps telling me I can only transfer files saved in Pages 09. What gives? I can transfer files made in Microsoft word no problem, but files made in the same program do not work. Any help?? Very frustrating.

    You are aware that Pages for Mac and Pages for iPad /iPhone/iPod are 2 different program?
    Looks like you have Pages for Apple mobile devices but not for your Mac.
    If that's the case

  • Since I updated my pages to 5.01, I can't open documents created on my iPad today. It says you need a new version of pages to open document.  (My computer says it is installed).  Has any one encountered this?

    Since I updated my pages to 5.01, I can't open documents created on my iPad today. It says you need a new version of pages to open document.  (My computer says it is installed).  Has any one encountered this?

    Well, here's what I found out that works for me...
    I had a Pages icon on my dock, and launching it brought up version 4.3.  But I went to my Apps folder and found the new updated icon there and when I launced that it brought up version 5.01.  So apparently the Apple update process left two versions launchable on my iMac.  Weird...

  • 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.

  • Ipad won't open Word documents without .doc appended

    My ipad won't open word documents attached to emails that don't have .doc appended, however my iphone does this flawlessly. Is this normal?

    Mine won't either. I was wondering if it had something to do with installing the pages app. My attachments with .doc are showing as pages docs.

  • View pages documents on iphone and ipad

    I have documents created on my iPad 2 in Pages, and cannot view them on Pages on my iPhone 4S.  I have been through all the instructions online, and can't find a way to get them to show.  Can someone please help!?!?

    Yes.

  • Can not add function to pages-document created with Applescript

    If I create new document using the GUI (New document) I can place the cursor within any table-cell, type "=" (equal sign) and f.e. "2+2" which will result in a cell showing a "4".
    If I create a document with Applescript, I can not add new functions (neither by typing = nor by using Insert >> Function (may be different, I have German version here). Already existing functions (which already were in the template) can still be used and work as expected but can not be altered.
    Any idea?
    I use Pages '08, Version 3.03
    Code I used to create the document:
    tell application "Pages"
    launch
    make new document at front with properties {template name:templateName}
    # Angebotsnummer ins Dokument schreiben
    tell body text of front document
    make new paragraph at after paragraph 1 with data angebotsNr
    set paragraph style of paragraph 2 to "Überschrift"
    end tell
    # Datei abspeichern
    set dateiName to missing value
    repeat until dateiName is not equal to missing value
    set dateiName to text returned of (display dialog "Datei Name:" default answer angebotsNr & "_" & kundenName) as text
    end repeat
    save front document in angebotsOrdner & dateiName
    end tell

    I apologize but the given script can't run.
    The variable templateName is undefined.
    The variable angebotsNr is undefined too.
    About the described behavior, it's a bug which I never discover before.
    It's always striking in Pages '09.
    Here is the report which I filed :
    Bug ID# 8704270
    Summary:
    +Odd behavior of tables in Pages documents created by a script+
    +Steps to Reproduce:+
    +Run this huge script+
    +tell application "Pages"+
    +make new document at front with properties {template name:"Blank"} (* "Vierge" on French systems *)+
    +end tell+
    +Insert a table+
    +try to insert a formula+
    +Expected Results:+
    +I assumed that I will get the formula editor which I get when the document is created by hand+
    +Actual Results:+
    +There is no way to get the editor, no way to insert the equal character.+
    +This odd behavior strike in all versions of Pages '09 and Pages '08+
    Regression:
    +None to my knowledge+

  • I set up my new iPad, then deleted the Pages documents on my old iPad, but this had the effect of deleting them on my new iPad too because they are synced. How do I retrieve the deleted documents?

    Sorry no. That's how it works.
    Check if you still have an old backup and do a restore otherwise it's gone.

  • Pages 5.1, tried everything, file won't open. Need it to open or my MA is gone

    Ok.. so I created a document using Pages like 1 month ago and saved it on iCloud...
    Then I started typing... and typing... and typing... (and saving obviously).
    Everything was OK until a couple of hours ago - and the I panicked...
    The file didn't open... Around 60 pages gone...
    Tried everything and the darn thing always says "[NAME] can't be opened"
    I have no idea if I created the file using Pages 5 or 5.1... right now I have Pages 5.1 because I'm guessing it auto-updated when it got released.
    I took the file off iCloud, I have it now on my Desktop - still won't open.
    Created several copies and started messing with the Package Contents - still won't open.
    Uploaded it again to iCloud - still won't open.
    Took it off iCloud (again), erased all my files from iCloud (using the Systems Preferences) - still won't open.
    Sent a copy to my iPad, updated my iPad's Pages, tried to open the file - still won't open.
    Uninstalled Pages, re-installed it again - still won't open.
    To be honest I really don't mind re-typing the entire thing... therefore, is there anyway that I can (somehow) open the thing or export it to PDF or JPEG or whatever?????... I just don't wanna do the entire analysis from scratch.
    Or is anybody there that can help - maybe you can somehow open the file, export it to PDF and email me the PDF...???
    // Help :'(
    Cheers

    Thanks Ricardo
    I got the file. It is unopenable in Pages 5.1.
    I opened the package and did a bit of research on the Net as to the problems/solutions (basically none) for the .iwa format.
    I tried to disassemble and reassemble the package but it still wouldn't open.
    1. I take it you are fine with the images which I had no trouble opening.
    2. The preview file is just the cover as 3 sizes of .jpg
    3. I was able to get into the Document.iwa file inside the Index.zip and recognised snippets of Spanish and numerical bits probably from your tables/charts. If you want to do the same, and might be able to recognise some of it, use TextWrangler or similar Texteditor.
    I couldn't find much in the Tables .iwa files or other files.
    You didn't by any chance password (encrypt) the document?

    My iPad won't open some of my apps says it's not connected to the internet which I am because I'm using it right now. I ant listen to music I can't update I can't do anything

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
    http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • My iPad won't open itunes. I have software update iOS 7.1.1 trying to download for days. Is this the problem or something else?

    My iPad  won't open itunes. Wifi ok safari working. Software update trying to download for days 7.1.1. Is this the problem? How to fix?

    If Safari is working otherwise and you can log onto other websites, try clearing Safari and reset your iPad. That might help with the Twitter app as well.
    Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    Reset 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
