Pages file 'could not be opened' message, HELP!!

I was working on the pages file until an hour ago but then I got kicked out while I was doing copy/paste. Ever since, I cannot open the file. The message I get is 'The document “xxx.pages” couldn’t be opened.
Please help!!!

I just received a document behaving this way.
The Index.xml file is available,
I may open it with Text Wrangler
but Pages is unable to use it.
It seems that a xml descriptor is wrongly built.
It's one more file which will be sent to Apple's Bugs Hunters.
I'm extracting the text components but, as it is written in Japanese, every character is stored as an entity which is this kind of beast:

"The file could not be opened" message

I'm a windows pc user with Lightroom 1.1. Today for the first time some of my library folders are in red font, and when I try to work on other images in develop mode I get a "The file could not be opened" message over the image.
I recently exported many of these images and then renamed some of the jpegs. But some that are inaccesable in lightroom I haven't exported or renamed.
Why did this occur and how can I get the files to open again so I can continue working on them?
Thank you!

If the folders show in red, it means that they have been moved or renamed outside of Lightroom. If this is the case right-click on the red folder name and choose "Locate missing Folder". You can then browse to the folder.
If a file has been moved/renamed outside of Lightroom, the frame around the thumbnail will show a "?" at top right. Click on the "?" and click locate on the screen that pops-up.

"pages document could not be opened" Message

I've been experiencing a problem with Pages lately where the application will not open documents previously created in the same program. When going back to the file at a later date and attempting to open, I get a "pages document 'xxxx.pages' could not be opened" error message with no other information. Trashing preferences and repairing disk permissions does not help. Anybody else experiencing this problem? Any solutions?

There shouldn't be a problem having more than one version of Pages on your Mac. I have both Pages 3.0.2 & 2.0.2. It may be that OS X is set to open all Pages documents with Pages 2. Highlight a known Pages 2 document in the Finder, highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose Pages 3. If Pages 3 is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the Pages 3 application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with Pages 3. You can then double-click the Word documents & they will open in Pages 3.

New Pages file could not be opened after Yosemite installation

I recently updated to Yosemite, but I'm using Pages 2009 version 4.3. I installed all iWork updates after installing Yosemite. After working on several Pages documents, after closing the documents, I was not able to open the files. The error message read,
(name of document).Pages couldn't be opened.
The required index.xml file is missing.
How can I open these files and fix this problem.
Thank you--

I found the solution to my query at this discussion:

"File Could Not Be Opened"

Hello!
My issue: I upgraded my data drive last week (which held my photos and LR catalog) and apparently created a problem. I'm able to open the catalog which shows the thumbnail image, but I get an "File Could Not Be Opened" message when viewing individual images. I suspect that this has something to do with the LR database not being able to locate the image file itself (I moved some things around). Without reimporting all my image files (which I fear might set me back to square one with any changes I've made to images already), is there an easy way to have LR sync the catalog with the new locations of my images?

Hi Junk95. I just had the same problem returning from a trip, copying over all the new files from a laptop (where I had used Lightroom, but with a different catalog). I probably should have imported them using LIghtroom, nevertheless...
Look in the folders section on the left side of the Library screen. You should see some folders highlighted in red. These would be the files Lightroom can't find. Double click and a dialog will say "Locate". Pick the folder location on your system that matches the missing folder. Lightroom should synchronize the images in the database with the files in the new location. Just worked like a champion for me. Voila!

Hi ckary,
Thanks for your post. It looks as if your computer is not seeing the driver
calls and thus it gives the error saying it cannot complete that task. Does
this happen with any other example programs you run using DAQmx? What version
of DAQmx do you have? I would first recommend getting the latest DAQmx driver
version, 8.7.1. You can find this at the following link below.
Drivers and Updates
Please post back if installing the latest driver does not
fix the problem.

That makes sense. You already have a Sync account with that email address, so it's already in use. If you want to use that same email but you can't remember the sync key follow the steps provided [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20Sync%20is%20not%20working?s=sync&as=s#w_ive-lost-my-sync-key-what-can-i-do here].
The other option is to delete your account in the following address: https://account.services.mozilla.com/account/delete and start from scratch.

Message in Develop "The File Could Not be Opened"

My photos are in an external 500 gig hard drive. I am using a new iMac. In Lightroom when I go to the develop module and select an image I get a message saying The File Could Not Be Opened. I can not do any editing. I can open photos from the hard drive in other programs and edit them but not in the Develop module of Lightroom. I have 1.2 version. I have had this happen before when for some reason the computer could not find the external hard drive. But it is finding it fine.

"Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the movie file could not be opened."

I'm using Photoshop CS5 extended.
I've been using that to make gifs. It was fine when I import video frams into layers with the video formats of .mov or .avi. But After I installed OSX 10.6.8, this message comes up everytime I want to import videos: "Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the movie file could not be opened."
So I installed my old OS back which is 10.6.3 but the problem is still there.
May I know what to do to solve this problem because all along I've been fine with making gifs and importing videos until now.
Please help, thank you.

The computer deities may be trying to say something to you. GIF is not a video format.
Are you opening video with the same codec that was successfully opened before?

System synchronization failed--Protocol Error: Handheld file could not be opened. (4004)

I have reviewed Palm Support Page and the forums and recognize this is an old story but the solutions offered haven't worked for me. I have had my Tungsten 2E for over a year and an earlier version before that. It has been working well for me until I had a problem (out of the blue) with the HotSync. I reinstalled the Palm software after checking cables, etc. I was able to relink and get updated info from my handheld to the desktop but with a few blips in DocstoGo where I had to delete documents and add them back to the desktop and resync with the handheld. All the info is on the handheld but see the log below to see the message "System synchronization failed". A suggestion by other users is to delete the "PmTraceDatabase" to file C:\Program Files\Palm\N\Backup\PmTraceDatabase.PDB but I cannot find the named file on my desktop program files for Palm.
Does anyone have an explanation other than "live with it" since I believe I'm getting all my info synced?

Identify missing files ("The file could not be opened")

Hello,
I purposely deleted photos outside of LR. The photos are still in the catalog. When I attempt to develop a photo in the catalog which I forgot was deleted outside of LR the message "The file could not be opened" appears after a short delay.
This raises the question of how to identify ALL photos in a collection where the source files have been deleted (or otherwise cannot be found) and to mark those items for deletion from the catalog, and subsequently delete them.
Basically I want to assure ONLY those photos that exist (on my drive) are in the catalog.
(I realize there are many instances where on wants to maintain items in a catalog that are archived on other media and not readily available, but that's not what I want here.)
I have LR 1.1 on WinXP Pro with ample memory and disk space.
Thanks in advance for all tips and pointers.

Did you try synchronize folders? Right click on the folder name and select. I haven't done this, but the help says it's supposed to deal with missing files as well as added files.

Every time I try to create a new project it says "The File Could Not Be Opened," how do I fix this?

Handheld file could not be opened on sync

After reading Pm Trace Database Error I was able to download fileZ and fix this problem with this file but I have two more files with the same error, (4004) handheld file could not be opened, syncerr_file_not_open. They are multimail messages and midataidcache. I could find multiimail using filez but not midataidcache. I found midataidcache in a backup folder and put it back on the handheld. I am not that "great" at this but will try and fix this with your help. Thank you!
