I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. However received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately. Ideas?

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. It opened normally. However, after editing, received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately and presumed they would work without a hitch. Am I missing something?

It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

Pages file from iPad won't open on Mac

My iPad has Pages version 2.0 (1058). It uses iCloud and runs iOS 7.0.3.
My Mac has iWorks 09, bought as a hard package with disc, not from AppStore. The Pages included in that says it's version 4.3. Running under Mavericks on an iMac.
Wrote a file on the iPad today. Trying to open it on the Mac yields a message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document". So I looked at the support pages and found a recommendation to download an update of iWorks to version 9.3. The support page said "iWork Update 9.3 adds support for iWork for iOS 1.7 apps." Whatever that is.
Did this and installed. My Pages still claims to be version 4.3 and will not open the document in iCloud, written on the iPad. Same error message. This is a bit annoying. Does it mean I need to buy a new iWorks version for the Mac in order to get it to work with the iPad version?

iWork 9.3 includes Pages 4.3, but Pages 2.0 for iOS requires Pages 5.0 on a Mac. Pages 5.0 needs OS X Mavericks, so you have to upgrade Mac OS X.
Open the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
After upgrading, open the Mac App Store, go to Updates tab and download the most recent Pages version free of charge

Mailing Pages files from iPad 2

I want to send files from my iPad 2 to my laptop and destop Macs. Both are older, still running Snow Leopard. My process was to go to the document in Pages on the iPad, choose Send a Copy, choose Pages as the format, and then mail it to my account and open it on one of the other machines. The attachment, even a very short pages file, appears as a zip file but can't be opened with Stuffit expander or simply by clicking. There is an error message saying that the file can't be opened because the required index.xml file is missing. Can it really be true that you can't share a file in the same program between two Apple devices? I can send a Pages document TO the iPad and open it with no problem, but not the other way around. I thought I had been able to do it before, but maybe not, or else something has changed with updates to the OS.
I discovered that if I choose to create a PDF file, I can open that and then copy and paste the text into a Pages file. That's a workaround, but it still seems wrong that I can't simply send and open a Pages file. Is there a trick?

Do you have "use iCloud" turned on on the iPad? (in settings)
And on your computer, If you open iCloud and turn on Documents and data?
This will auto sync your Pages documents between the devices each time you open pages.
I can work on a document on one device. Open and print on another. Each time I open pages the documents all update.

Can't open Pages files from iPad in Word 2010 on PC

I have not been able to open any files created on my iPad (iOS 6.0.1) with Apple Pages in Microsoft Word 2010 on Windows XP Pro and hope someone can suggest a solution.
I am emailing the files as attachments (.docx files) When I try to open the file on my PC, I get an error message when I open them in Word that says:
Word was unable to read this docuemnt.
Try one or more of the following:
* Open and repair the file.
* Open the file with the Text Recovery converter. (C:\Users\...\name of file.doc)
In addition, I tried to open the .docx file in Openoffice.org 3.4.1 and it got a read error.
Any suggestions? Is there any kind of plug-in/add-in for MS Word 2010 that would correct the problem?
Thanks,
Rich
Additional: Pages was purchased today from the App store; iPad is Gen4 a couple days old

So...I have played with it more. Simple documents work most of the time. But if I take a more complex doc to Pages, edit it and save it as a Word doc then trasnfer it back to PC or Mac it will fail to open.
Would be nice if I could trust the App. WIll mess more with it but it is very frustrating.

How can I transfer "Pages" files from my IPad to my Mac?

How can I transfer "Pages " files from my IPad to my IMac, I cannot use ICloud because I have Mountain Lion installed on the IMac?

Actually, you can use iCloud and the way that you so it is to log into iCloud.com on the Mac (use Safari for best results) click on the Pages icon and then drag the Pages files into the browser window. It works the other way around as well. Log into iCloud.com on the Mac and download the files from Pages (that you created on the iPad) in iCloud onto your Mac. You can click on the file in the documents window and select it to Download by clicking on the Gear icon or right click upon the file and select download.
The files will then sync to the Pages app on the iPad - assuming hat you have use iCloud tuned on in Settings>Pages>Use iCloud>On. I have an iMac running Tiger 10.4.11 that I can still move Pages/Word files back and forth Iike this.
Also, File Sharing with iTunes is a great way to move the files back and forth.

when i send a pages file from my ipad to my mac, i can edit the file but if I try to print it shows blank and will not print anything

Is there a reason you are not storing your Pages documents in iCloud? That would work for both your MacBook and iPad if you choose to use it (assuming your MacBook is new enough to support an OS X version that supports iCloud).
If you choose this method, any updates you make on one device would immediately be made available on the other (once you close the file).

Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad

Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad 2. Document succesfully transferred as Pages document to computer, but Pages 2.0,2 wouldn;t open it. Version too old?

Pages 2 is iWork '06, two versions behind what the iOS Pages creates. You need to use Pages '09 which you can purchase from the Mac App Store as a stand-alone application or a retail box of the iWork '09 suite.

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

I can't get pages 5.01 to open pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.

I can't get Pages 5.01 to open Pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.
I am using the most up to date version of Mavericks and Pages and can log into iCloud without any problems. Is this just a glitch? The files all behaved properly under previous versions and the initial release of the new version of Pages.

Pages for iCloud beta is a weird beast and as it says "beta".
I think it is the least compatible of all the many different .pages files floating around out there.

I deleted a very important pages file from my iPad and I need it back

I deleted a very important pages file from my iPad and I need it back pronto! I just updated my iPad without a computer and it had the file there. I need to know how to get back the file very quickly.
thx in advance

Thne unfortunately, your document is gone. You can restore lost or deleted documents from backups if you have backups - and as long as the backup contains the document - but if you did not copy the file to your computer - or backup the iPad, the document is gone.
You really should start backup up your iPad. You can sign up for a free 5GB iCloud account right on the iPad and then you can use iCloud for backing up. You can do it right on the iPad.

Hi, can I upload Pages files from my iPad to Google Sites? More specifically, a File Cabinet page?

Hi, can I upload Pages files from my iPad to Google Sites?
I set up a File Cabinet page, and when I touch "Add file," it only allows me to select files from my Photo Stream. I'd like to be able to select files from my Pages documents.
I am trying to use Sites for my students' ePortfolio, and the only way I can manage to get files onto the file cabinet is to export it to an app which will, in turn, save it as a photo. This process will be a monster when I'm trying to get a bunch of freshmen to upload their portfolio artifacts from Pages.
iPad implementation has been very frustrating for my school--I wish they had laptops!
Thanks!

PS -- I really did search the community for this topic. I apologize if it's a repeated question.
