Pages documents snet by email cannot be opened

Having used IWork08 successfully for the past 8 months, I was dismayed to find out that a colleague of mine who had just downloaded the trial version could not open the files I sent her (Pages, Keynote or Numbers).
She could send me a basic template and I could open it. My I could not resend it to her or to myself. It would be either not-recognized as a pages document or it would be recognized as corrupted.
I know that the issue has been addressed in other postings within this forum but it might be worth addressing it again.
A Pages document is organized in a package. To see the content of the package: Go to directory where file is located. Right click (if mouse) and select "Show Package Content".
Most of the time such packages will not go through email applications, not only web-based but also IMAP-POP email programs such as Mail, Thunderbird or others.
The following doc is part of the Help Doc in IWork08. Although it addresses earlier versions of Pages and Keynote, it is still relevant in Pages 3.0.

All right peoples.. I have found the solution to this extremely annoying problem. Lately for me, the index pages were opening at an ever increasing pace; until I found the solution. After trying with all malware and antispyware programs to no success. I finally learned how to fix this.
It seems like the #@&%er creating this problem is a rootkit. I found my computer was regularly trying to communicate with several IPs, which include: rollangarr0s . com and other websites belonging to a guy from India named Nmajjd Nbvjaa . If anyone knows how to report and stop this person and his activities, please do!!!
The info on his whois:

To get rid of the rootkit go to the following website, and download the utility TDSSKiller. Run it in your computer, and voila! after rebooting, your computer is clean. No more of the annoying index windows and creepy calls to this guy's websites..

  • Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail.  Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

    Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but PDF worked only in Mail.  Word worked in nothing.  I also tried copying and pasting the document but lost all formatting when just copied and pasted in email.  Is there a way to do this?

    Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
    What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

  • I can open some pages documents, but others I cannot.

    I can open some pages documents and others I cannot. This just started. I have a mac os x 10.9.4. It says I don't have any updates available.  I have no idea why this is happening. Please advise. Thanks!

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2.2 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 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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.
    Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
    You can add the icon of the missing Pages on your Dock or open Pages from the Apple menu > Recent Items list.
    Or you can archive Pages 5 so that it doesn't automatically open.
    If you are unhappy about this mess that Apple has created, review/rate Pages 5 in the App Store.

  • Sending a Pages document as an email but not an email attachmentt

    using iwork '08 and a pages newsletter template, is there a way to send a pages document as an email without making it an attachment? for business a newsletter is better for clients if it arrives in the email as the body of the email instead as in the form of an attachment. how is that possible with Pages?

    Hi J,
    Copy the contents of the Pages document and Paste into the body of the email. Try this and see if the formatting remains satisfactory.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • I'm trying to send a pages document as an email attachment to pc users.  They can't access the document.

    I'm trying to send a pages document as an email attachment to pc users.  They can't access the document.  When I try go to the "file" menu, there is no "save as" option.

    Hi Shelly,
    Command-P (Print)
    In the Print dialogue, click the PDF button at lower left, choose Mail PDF
    The result should be a new email document with the pdf file attached.
    Address and send.
    The procedure applies to any document which may be printed, not just Pages documents.

  • I have a Pages document in iCloud that will not open. I have Time Machine. How do I get to the version of the document that is not corrupted?

    I'm in a bind. I tried to open a Pages document that I saved from the current version of Pages on my iMac this morning on my iPad, which has the current version of Pages of the iPad. It would not open on the iPad. Now it also will not open on the iMac, or on the Beta of iCloud Pages.
    If it were on my hard drive, I could use Time Machine to recover the most recent version, but it's in iCloud. I've been told that implies that there is a local copy, but I don't know where that is.
    It's a book manuscript I've been working on for months. I'm not happy.
    Thanks for the help.

    Your opinion of Apple products seems unusually harsh. I know how iCloud works and I'm generally pretty happy with it. I also like Pages a lot more than MS Word, and somewhat more than NeoOffice. Word is overripe with so many features Microsoft keeps radically changing the interface in the desperate hope that somehow they will make it easy to use again, but instead, they just confuse everybody with the unnecessary changes.
    They had menus, until there were too many options to fit the screen, so they added submenues, until that wasn't enough, so they added dialog boxes, until that wasn't enough, so they added tabbed dialog boxes, and realized that a lot of commonly used features were too hard to get to, so they added the Toolbar just as a shortcut to the more common features and then came up with the unforgivable decision to eliminate the menu interface entirely in the Windows version of the product and replace it with The Ribbon, which took me so long to interpret that I stopped using Word altogether.
    NeoOffice is simpler and quite useful, but it was iCloud that sold me on Pages. It's great being able to review and edit documents on iOS devices in addition to automatically synchronizing across Mac OS X devices.
    I have options for synchronization with Box and DropBox, and I have a network share I can use, if having a local copy isn't important, but I find that having a local copy (like with Box, DropBox and iCloud) is great because each computer I use has Time Machine, so I don't have to rely on the service to restore a file. I can get it, myself. It's easier to browse to the version I want in Time Machine than it is to estimate the time I want to restore from and hope that someone else can find the right version of the file from whenever they made a backup to restore it for me. I have unhappy experiences from this kind of request to restore stuff.
    I find Box and DropBox to be somewhat crude compared to iCloud. I like Apple's new attitude toward saving files. When I edit in Pages and exit, the file is saved. If I edit a file and the power goes out, I generally lose a sentence or less. In traditional apps, I can easily lose hours of work, unless I remember to manually save as I go.
    iCloud is not a general remote file storage facility. At it's root, it is a roaming version of whatever you have on iOS devices. So, if I want to access a file from multiple devices and not have to worry about versions, I use iCloud.
    This problem I just had was the first problem I've had with iCloud, and with Time Machine, and I use them a lot. Having someone tell me where the local copy of the documents are fixed the problem.
    I love Time Machine.
    For myself, when I upgraded from Bento 1 to Bento 2 on several computers, one of them choked on my data file. I followed Bento's directions to recover the data file until it said to reinstall Bento 1 from original medium. I couldn't find my disc. Yes, I had bought it. I don't steal software. But I couldn't find my disc.
    So, I used Time Machine to restore Bento 1. Just try restoring an older version of an app in Windows from any backup software available to Windows and see how far you get.
    I helped someone else recover a couple thousand email messages using Time Machine instead of dealing with the email service because we could open Mail, go to the folder where the messages had disappeared when she had a power glitch, and then browse back until we found the backup just before the messages disappeared. The restore took about 20 minutes, but again, this verges on magic.
    I've used Time Machine to restore an older version of OS X when someone discovered that a crucial app wasn't ready for it yet. The glitch was that she hadn't backed up for a month. She kept ignoring the warning prompts. So, when I showed up, I had her do a current backup before doing the restore. We then restored to the old OS, restarted in the old OS and opened Time Machine to recover all her documents, pictures, etc. from the current backup, so she didn't lose a month of work. This is another thing I can't do with other backup programs.
    So, I'm generally pretty happy with Apple. Once someone told me where the local copy of my iCloud documents resides, I could take care of this most recent problem.

  • In Pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to an email it gives me 2 folders and 4 files ???  How does one email a pages document.

    How does one email a pages document? In pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to a gmail email it gives me 2 folders and 4 other files to choose from. 

    Sounds like you are using Gmail.
    Pages 5 uses a zipped package of files as its format. 3rd party servers don't understand the format and show it as the component parts.
    Use Mail toenail the file or zip the .pages document before sending.

  • Pages documents in iCloud can't be opened

    I stored some Pages documents in iCloud last fall, and now—even though they are visible in the Pages "open" window in Mountain Lion—I can't open them on either my Mac or iOS devices. When I click or tap on these documents, they appear to "zoom open" (in Mac OS) but never actually do.
    Has anyone else run into this issue, or does anyone have any advice?

    Restart fixed this, but still—not reassuring.

  • My att.my.yahoo email cannot be opened fully to read or scroll through older emails. I get an Opps page from Mozilla.

    I use att.my.yahoo.com for one of my email accounts.
    When I am traveling I use my netbook with Windows XP. I can log in fine and see only a "quick view" of the email with the first few sentences.
    When I click on the read or reply button Mozilla shows an "Opps, this link must be broken" message or a "Page not found" message. I also can only see a few of my emails
    When I use my iMAC it opens fine. But I cannot carry my desk top iMAC when I travel.
    Sorry for the delay. I was testing both computers.

  • One of my Pages documents is corrupted and won't open...how to save the file?

    We have the new iPad 3, and Pages. My friend was working on adding pictures to a document we're writing, and then the next day (or the same day) we tried to re-open the file and the app crashed, every time. We cannot share, send to itunes, email, or do anything with the file, and any attempt to open it crashes Pages. On iCloud.com, the file fails to download every time, whatever the format selected. And I have most of this file (without the pictures/edits) on her PC from the old Word days, but I'm trying to recover the Pages/iPad version with all the pictures in it.
    We have the newest iPad, updated iOS, and the newest Pages update (1.6.1 i think it is).
    I have only two or three guesses as to what the problem could be:
    -My friend sometimes doesn't remember to delete pictures before adding a picture in it's place (you know, if you add a picture in a certain spot and then decide to replace the picture for a better one), so there may be 8 or 9 pictures stacked on top of each other in one place. Maybe all that rendering is jamming up the app on this particular file. Other files we've worked on with/without pictures open fine.
    -The storage is full, so it's acting up like anything else does. We're new with the iPad so we haven't figured out what to do with photos and whatnot. My Mac is configured for my other documents and my appleid/icloud, and this iPad is on my friend's appleid, so I'll have to see about what I can do to back up to her PC.
    -There's a problem with Pages 1.6.1 (which I've seen written around the web).
    Any suggestions as to what the cause, or more importantly, solutions might be? I'm backing up everything else I can externally so restoring is an option. Also, I'm lucky enough NOT to have deleted the old Pages 1.6 file in her Recycle Bin, so I have that app file on her desktop. I'm not sure whether I should try deleting the app out of itunes/the iPad, and then see about dragging the old Pages back in, or what that will do to the important files (especially the corrupted one).
    Any advice would be helpful, even if I have to buy a recovery app of some kind. Advice on how to avoid the issue or report it to Apple would also be helpful!
    P.S. I already called AppleCare and they said something to the effect of they'll try something, eventually, they're not sure, etc etc.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • When I paste a Pages document into an email it looks totally different.  Even when I export it too Microsoft Word the Word document looks different.  Apparently this does not happen if you have Word on your computer.  Does anyone have experience?

    I need to be able to copy/paste documents into the body of an email and have them look exactly like the original document.  I could always do this on my PC using Microsoft Word.  And all writers submitting work to agents do this.   I just tried it with Apple's Pages and when I pasted it into the body of the email, the document looked totally different . . . no double spacing, no paragraphing  etc.  Even when I exported the document to Word, I copy/pasted it into an email and it looked totally different.  I suspect Apple's version of Word does not perform like the real Word in all circumstances . . . Before I go out and buy Word and put it on my Apple, I would like to know if anyone else has had this issue and how they may have dealt with it.  Thanks.

    Drag and drop the file into the email, the formatting will be retained when it is opened by the recipient.

  • Excel document is encrypted and cannot be opened.

    Just tried Numbers for the first time. Launched it. Tried to open my main spreadsheet that keeps all my financial information (I'm self employed) and I get the message Numbers cannot open it because it's encrypted.
    Steve Jobs said Numbers could open nearly all Excel documents. Does that mean that nearly all excel documents are not password protected?
    I was really looking forward to using Numbers. Fallen at the first fence.

    They don't want us (the dealers) to edit the spreadsheet, but they do want us to read it. It's their pricelist, they wouldn't sell a lot of equipment if we couldn't see how much it costs! The point is that Numbers won't even open a spreadsheet that is edit protected, not read protected. This is a major issue, it should at the very least tell me I can open or import the sheet as a read only.
    Excel will always open the spreadsheet, it just can't make changes to it.
    For right now, when I need to get information from the pricelist in Excel, I have to copy and paste the info from the edit protected page to another blank sheet. This is a royal PITA because the Excel pricelist has 50 plus pages. I have been officially told to do that by my manufacturer. But they won't give anyone the password to unprotect the edit function of the sheet. Go figure.

  • Pages says its updating and cannot be opened, but its not.

  • HT1338 Pages edited on my iPad cannot be opened in Pages on my MAC Book

    I created a document on my Mac Book opened it on my iPad and then when I tried to open it again on my Mac Book it would not open. Pages on my Mac Book says I need to update my software which I did earlier this week.
    Any suggestions?

    Pages 5.2 is the latest, it was applied to my App Store just 2 days ago. It can only be used on Maverickes though. Since you are in the Mavericks forum, I assume that Mac OS X is no longer 10.7.1 as your profile states.
    Double check your Pages' version to make sure it's 5.2.
