Pages doesn't open old files.

Every file created before this version of Pages doesn't open.
is there a solution for that?

Hallo Again,
Thanks for the tips.
It seems, that al lot of discussions going around about the less quality of the new Pages.
One more:
If you have upgrade the old Pages 4.x to the new 5.0...in my case the old one can not be opened again...i am asked about my licence-number of  iWorks 09, which i bought 3 years ago in an computer shop....and i loose the package....
For all cases i have still the old pages on my old iMac and it still works.
Anyway....I can not export the Pages 5 Document to the old Pages 09, because before exporting it, you have to open it....and with opening, i loose the picture-contains in the charts...
This is raelly bad.
Next step I will try is, deleting the complete new versions of pages, numbers and  keynote, restart my mac and clone the old Pages from my old machine to the new, or ( second try ) go to TimeMachine and  recover my old version...?
What do you think of that?

  • I need pages 09 to open old files on my new iMac

    I have a new iMac and cannot open old Pages files that were transferred to it. I have Pages 08, but need Pages 09.
    Any ideas?

    Open the Mac App Store and update your iWorks apps.
    You haven't bothered to tell us anything about your system so we have no idea what version of OS X  you run. However assuming you have ML 10.6.6 or later you have access to the Mac App Store.

  • Quicktime doesn't open AVI file with Perian installed

    I have installed Perian but Quicktime X doesn't open AVI files for a week. I have repaired permissions. But Quicktime only plays the AVI file if I reboot the Mac. VLC always plays the file. The AVI codec is XVID. Quicktime doesn't play other formats such as FLV. I have deleted .plist files, com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist. I have found other files(com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.0GH3f31, com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.0h9MBzV...) that I deleted also. Any idea? Thanks

    And now ... surprisingly I view AVI files in Quicktime without Perian.
    QT has very limited AVI support (file type and a few older codecs) built in. Most common codecs use by Windows users, however, require the additional support provided by Perian. If the AVI files are now playing in QT without Perian, then simply check the Inspector, Properties, or Info window to see which codecs are in your AVI file and you should be able to tell if they are among those supported "natively" by QT. Also note that this regaining of the ability to play your files may indicate a component conflict of some sort may have existed previously.

  • How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?

    How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?
    I have files I made with Pages and exported as PDF but I can't open them with pages to edit?
    Also, where are the recent files created by pages located? Can't find those to open either..

    Hi Tom,
    I was delighted when I signed up for Pages. Clunky yes, but it worked. I've been a graphic designer on a Mac for 25 plus years and have logged too many horror stories of "upgrade" wars which cost me massive lost time, data and money forcibly extracted just so I could finish a project.
    When I first used Pages in April of 2012? or there about, I was able to open Word documents exported to .pdf format, emailed to me, which I then dragged into Pages. I could make the changes I needed to make, export as a .pdf, return it back to my client which they could then edit on whatever it was they were using. I'm not a neophyte with this. I've had Original Photoshop as a stand alone, Quark (which locked users out 6 months after I purchased it.) Quark again, Freehand, Pagemaker, Illustrator, Photoshop again, Creative Suite for several upgrades, Acrobat Pro. 2 years ago I lost 6 years of Quicken data and had to and "upgrade" start over. This last go around I  had to "upgrade" my Apple ID - yes I had 2 on purpose, lost my Pandora One and my ability to get into the Tulsa County Library website.
    At this point, I'm retired and feel like what I've paid for in the past should WORK today. I have a 100+ page cookbook in Quark which I was able to export as a .pdf, that I've lost the tags too, Easier to start over. I have artwork that is hundreds of megs in Photoshop. Not the least bit interested in anybody's "cloud".
    Thanks for letting me vent. I'm determined to keep my equipment and software up to date so I can enjoy the skills I've acquired, but I completely cringe at Apple's antics. I truly hate it when I have to respond to some new "tip" or product offer. BooHiss. Happy Turkey Day. Pages is a "turkey" program.
    Best regards, mbd

  • Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. Error: 213:11.

    Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. It's written Error: 213:11. Details: laptop with Windows XP, Adobe Reader X

    Are these local or online documents?  If online, in what browser?  If local, does the documents folder and docs themselves have sufficient permissions?
    Is there anything else beside the number 213:11?

  • Help- Flex Start Page doesn't open the Start Page

    Help -> Flex Start Page doesn't open the Start Page.
    I see multiple bug entries regarding this resolved, but no description of what I can do to fix it.
    I'm running Flex Builder Professional on Windows XP

    I've heard this can be caused in IE when the pop-up blocker is enabled. Disable it so pop-ups are allowed, and the Flex Start Page may load.

  • Installed iWork '09 on MacBook running OSX 10.7.2 and Pages won't open .doc files. Why?

    I just recently installed iWork '09 on MacBook running OSX 10.7.2 and Pages won't open .doc files.
    I did a search looking for a solution in the forums and here are the actions I've taken:
    1) Made sure the files were't read/write protected.
    2) Restarted the computer.
    3) Made sure all the program files were in the correct folder.
    4) Reinstalled the program.
    Pages won't read .doc files that were originally Pages files and exported as .docs
    It also won't read .doc files that were created using a relatively recent version of Office.
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
    Please help.

    If it's a doc created with the late Office 2011, it's not really surprising.
    The importer embedded in iWork application was delivered in january 2009 and didn't evolve.
    For this reason, it's unaware of new features delivered with Office 2011.
    Better try with LibreOffice.

  • Just downloaded iOS 7.0.4 Pages doesn't open iCloud docs

    just downloaded iOS 7.0.4 Pages doesn't open iCloud docs

    You said the documents don't open, but do they actually appear in Pages in the iPad? There is a difference between the two issues.
    If the setting will not stay on, try signing out of your ID, reboot the iPad and then sign in again and see of the setting stays on.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store. Tap your ID and sign out.
    Reboot 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.
    Go go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign in again. See if the setting will stay on for iCloud. 
    No docs appear on the iPad in Pages (I have them in iCloud (on my Mac))
    The option still gets turned off... in Settings>Pages>iCloud

  • Can't open old files in Pages. Don't want to upgrade. Help please

    I am happy with my old Pages program ... some files I created on the old Pages open fine, as normal. However, some files I created on the
    old Pages (created in Dec. 2013) will not open. I get a pop up from Apple saying that I have to upgrade.
    I would be delighted to upgrade and pay the $20 but I read horrible reviews about the new Pages upgrade. So I would like to stick with my old
    Pages but how can I open these files that are closed to me unless I purchase the new upgrade. Inexplicably, I can open some files that I created this month on the old pages. But some will not open.
    Is there a trick to opening these Pages files ?
    Or should I go ahead and get the new download and take a chance. I only mix text with photos ... no footnotes.
    Please help.  Many thanks ..

    Hi Jerry ... you were absolutely correct ... I must have downloaded the new version since I found Pages-Applications in Spotlight. Then I dragged it from Application to the dock where it now sits next to my old Pages. I tried to open up my file but still could not. How can I export it back to Word 09 (my old Pages) if I cannot open it. And this file will not open now, even when I have my new Pages in the dock. Or should I just give up on opening this file.
    Also, I think I prefer the old Pages (Word 09) ... how can I make sure that I am creating documents in this program. I assume that I can keep it and continue to work with that. I guess the only way to prevent this from happening again is to check if I am using the old Pages before I start a document ?? 
    Many thanks again, Don

  • Firefox home page doesn't open when I click on Firefox. Have to go to File and click on New Window to get into Start Page.

    Firefox doesn't open when I click on it. I have to click on New Window under File to get my bookmarks and a search page
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == No way to know. Nothing new has been done to Firefox.

    If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]].
    BTW, you really should upgrade to the latest version. See [[Updating Firefox]]

  • Pages won't open ANY file, old or new

    Pages '09 won't open previously saved documents (.pages or .doc), or open a new document from template. When attempting to open a previously saved document, I get the error message "The document "document-name.pages" couldn't be opened." Pages, as a program, however, stays open. When attempting to open a new document from a template, the progress indicator simply spins forever and does not open a document.
    Keynote and Numbers work just fine, both being able to open old and new documents.
    When opening an old document, Pages creates these Console messages:
    5/25/09 7:10:01 PM Pages[211] Assertion failure: Method: markerOfType:forRulerView:atLocation:listLevelActive:
    Object: <SFWPRulerMarker 0x2d10800>
    File: /SourceCache/iWorkShared/iWorkShared-408/sfwordprocessing/SFWPRulerMarker.mm
    Line #: 202
    we should have had an image or an image resource name
    5/25/09 7:10:01 PM Pages[211] Exception opening document: * -[SFWPRulerMarker initWithRulerView:markerLocation:image:imageOrigin:]: no image given. NSRulerMarkers must have an image.
    5/25/09 7:10:01 PM Pages[211] Failed to open document, but no unrecoverable error
    I have tried deleting user, system, and font caches, deleting iWork preference files, and reinstalling iWork, but none of this has worked.

    Well I finally got it to work. I uninstalled and AppTrap grabbed a few preference files that belonged to Pages and I allowed it to delete them all. I rebooted and installed iWork again, but I got the same issue, again. I was attempting to select a blank document style from the Template Chooser, but it wouldn't open any, just spinning the wheel in the template preview in the Template Chooser window. I went into preferences and told it to create new files using the Blank template, and that worked. However, it wouldn't let me use the Template Chooser to open a new document.
    I saved the new document, created from the Blank template in Template Chooser, to the desktop. I double-clicked on this document and it said it couldn't be opened? However, I could open it from inside Pages, just not by opening the document and having it use the default application (Pages) to open it with.
    Lots of odd stuff going on here. I came to the idea that something residual was sitting on my HD, and decided to try a better cleaning. I opened Clean My Mac and dropped Pages on the Applications window. Clean My Mac did a scan and identified a ton of items pertaining to uninstalling Pages, nearly 900MB of misc documents, caches, and other stuff. At this point I wasn't too worried about deleting the wrong thing, as I am nearly ready to wipe and reinstall, whatever it takes to straighten it out.
    After removing everything, I did a reboot just to be safe. Then in reinstalled iWork 09, and attempted to open documents using Template Chooser. SUCCESS! However, I remembered that it worked just fine until I applied the 9.0.2 update to iWork, so I was cautiously doubtful that I would be able to work this time once I applied the update. Well, it seems CleanMyMac pulled something off that was complicating things, possibly from the old iWork '08 version, or the Trial Version? I'm not really sure.
    Anyhow, thanks for the help and suggestions. I've got a bunch of errors showing-up in the Console, and slowly, little-by-little, I'm working on trying to research and solve them all. I wish I could find a good source for referencing all of the errors that are showing-up, as this seems like it'll take a long time.
    Thanks again!

  • Safari doesn't open PHP files

    If i try to open a PHP file in safari, it shows the code. If the PHP file isn't local, for example, on a local website (using air sharing on my ipod touch and adding php files to it), it will download the file. If I open it there, it will only display the codes like it does on the original file on my mac. I'm trying to use wordpress but it doesn't work. Once I think i saw some of the page working (it was the login page and it was PHP). But i've tried everything i could do but it never worked again. Please help me! Thanks!

    You don't open PHP files in Safari.
    Safari doesn't know how to run PHP code so it just displays the file content.
    You need to run them under a web server - the web server runs the code and outputs the appropriate content.
    By default, on Mac OS X you start up the built-in web server (System Preferences -> Sharing -> Personal Web Sharing) and should place the files in /Library/WebServer/Documents/
    You then access them in Safari via something like:
    http://localhost/my.php
