Pages files that are emailed to me - cannot open

When someone emails me a pages file, I am getting an error message:  "filename.pages” can’t be opened.
Sender and myself both using Pages 5.0.1
Thanks!

The new .pages file format for Pages 5, iCloud and iOS 7 is an odd bundled archive which is misread by most non-Apple servers, such as DropBox, GMail, Amazon etc.
Try sending with Mail.

  • I cannot open pdf files that are emailed to me. Can anyone help?

    I cannot open pdf files that are emailed to me. Can anyone help? I have adobe reader XI.

    What operating system?  Email client?  What exactly means "cannot"?

  • I cannot ope PDF files that are within a web link.  Neither Safari nor Firefox will work.  If I receive a PDF file as an email attachment, I can open it with either Adobe or Preview.  I'm running 10.6.8 on an iMac.

    I'm going to re-state this.  Several weeks ago, I had installed Security Update 2012-004 on my iMac.  I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  Immediately afterwards, my Mail 4.6 was GONE.  Mail 4.2 was there, but the system would not open it.  The Apple Support Communites quickly solved my problem.  The problem lay within the Update.  Now, I cannot open PDF files that are contained within a website, i.e. a lunch menu that is on a restaurant website.  This happens on both Safari and Firefox.  If someone sends me an email with an attached PDF file, I can open the file with either Adobe or Preview.  This is happening only on my iMac.  My MacBook Pro, also running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 has not experienced either the first or second problem.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Does this help with Firefox?

  • Why can't I open/see PDF files that are embedded in an email or sent through the internet?

    I can read/see PDF files that are attached to an email, but I can't see/read them if they are embedded in an email or sent through the internet.

    I have a similar problem. I can open, read, and save PDF files, but I can't view my online bank statement on my Mac. The statement opens automatically if I use a PC, but on my Mac the page says I need Adobe Reader to view my statement. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader. The problem seems to be that that the plugin only goes to the Libray. It doesn't get installed into Safari or into FireFox either.

  • SAFARI 6.1.3 update to Reader 11.0.07 - cannot open pdf files that are presently on my computer. Previous version had no problem. Any ideas?

    SAFARI 6.1.3 update to Reader 11.0.07 … cannot open pdf files that are presently on my computer. Previous version had no problem. Any ideas? (Here is the message: Adobe Reader could not open 'Digital_Holiday_Cookbook.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

    Thank you Pat!!!

  • HT1351 Whether or not I sync items on iTunes to my ipod, I cannot eject the ipod because a message keeps coming up and saying that my ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are being used by another application. How do I fix this?

    I just got an ipod classic 7th generation a couple days ago and I'm having a heck of a time with it. My latest problem is that with media on iTunes, I cannot eject the ipod because it says that it cannot be ejected because it contains files that are being used by another application. What application is this, and what do I do about it?

    Hi newipoduser,
    Here are some possible solutions:
    Do you use musicmatch jukebox on your computer? If you do, you have to go into task manager on windows and end process mim.exe. It interferes with disconnecting ext devices
    Empty your "trash/recycle bin."
    If that doesn't work, try quitting all your programs, especially music-type programs, basically things that look for mp3's etc.
    if that doesn't work, "log off" then "log on" and that should refresh/purge your OS system.
    Finally, you can restart your computer.
    Hope one of these helps!
    Cheers,

  • Ipod cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by an

    My fifth gen/30 ipod is a mess since I installed itunes 7.I can't update or eject the little guy .The message reads"cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by another application"or "cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application" Any help would be very appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem. I had to uninstall 7.0 and install 6.0 and was able to restore OK. I'm back using 6.0, but just got a second generation ipod nano, so I have to go to 7.0 or greater. My only words of wisdom are DO NOT SET ANY LOCKS until you are really sure you want to. Also with 7.0 I could not eject my ipod unless I went to the "safe to eject ipod" command. Apple has some problems to work out and I hope soon. Clumsy as best...............

  • Cannot update ipod due to files that are in use by another application

    Uploaded iTunes version 7 onto my PC on Friday. Ever since my fifth generation video (30GB) ipod cannot be either updated with version 1.2 software, syncronised or restored due to the error message "The ipod cannot be updated becuase it contains files that are in use by another application".
    Not sure the issue is related to the itunes upgrade but it is a strange coincidence.
    Also having a problem becuase my pc runs outlook 2002 which is not compatible with itunes 7 and my calender cannot be syncronised. Don't know whether the two issues are related.

    Kudos to Randy. Thanks a lot; this worked for me. I simply opened itunes (and minimized it) with my ipod connected, opened "My Computer," right-clicked "IPOD" and ejected it. As soon as the icon in My Computer showed that it was ejected I quickly maximized itunes, clicked IPOD, and clicked the update button. Wah lah! iPod updated. Hope that helps the rest of you out there with this problem! Thanks again!

  • "The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use..."

    My iPod (20 gb, 4 gen) syncs fine, but when I go to eject it a window pops up saying "the iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."
    Unfortunately, there are no files on it (that I know of) that are being used by another application.
    I can't use the eject function on the task bar because I have Vista and it will corrupt the iPod. I've just been unplugging it with out ejecting, but was hoping there was a solution. Any advice?

    Are you running any anti-virus or spyware detection software in the background? Start closing programs located in the taskbar next to the clock and try ejecting the iPod.

  • The Ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by ano

    When I want to eject my Ipod i get this message:
    The Ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application.
    After I had put some songs on the ipod, i got that message. I thought maybe the new songs were the problem but de computer still doesn't want to eject my Ipod and there are no programes in use other than itunes.
    Does anybody know what to do???!!!
    greetings Mandarijn

    hi Mandarijn!
    The Ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application.
    by any chance, do you have McAfee ActiveScan security software on that PC? i've seen that implicated a few times with this message.
    if you do have McAfee, as an experiment try switching that off prior to doing a sync. do you still get the message then?
    if the McAfee thing doesn't-help/isn't-relevant, let's try using the following techniques to see if we can identify if some other program is causing the message. (the article is actually about installation errors, but the techniques are relevant to this sort of investigation.)

  • The ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application

    I am using my crusty but trusty 5G iPod with my new rMPB, and things have been working as expected for the month or so that I've had the new laptop. But "recently," (past few days?), when I go to eject from iTunes (current - 11.1.5), I get the error message, "The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application." The iPod is then ejected but the "Do not disconnect" message remains on the iPod screen. I can continue using the iPod as normal after all this.
    If I eject the iPod from the Finder, I get no error message but the iPod screen still remains at "Do not disconnect."
    I tried plugging it into my Windows 7 PC (did not reformat of course!) and then ejected it, and the iPod screen returned to its proper state after a proper Windows disconnect.
    I have of course restarted my Mac and reset the iPod (Up + Center buttons held for ~5 sec) but no change. I don't remember changing the OS that would cause this - any suggestions as to the problem here?

    Hello, cgtyoder. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Try resetting the iPod and power cycling your Mac to see if this message disappears.  If the issue persists you may need to restore the device to factory settings.  The article below will walk you through both these steps.

  • I cannot open any pdf files that are saved to my computer. Keep getting error 507:507

    Every time I try to open a pdf file from a website or through an email it will not let me opne the file. I can open files that are saved to my computer but that doesn't do me much good in some scenarios. I run IE 10 on Windows 7 Home with Adobe Reader XI 11.0.04. I have tried unsinstalling and reinstalling. It works fine for a few days then the errors start again. HELP!

  • I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file.  I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix

    I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file.  I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix issues I had fixed in the single files. I need suggestions on what else can be done if any. Using Acrobat pro XI.

    Out of habit, I tend to combine PDF files in the Page Thumbnails pane by right-click then "Insert Pages" -> "From File". For me, this preserves the tags from both documents, although the tags may have to be moved into the right location (if I recall correctly the tags for the inserted pages get put at the end of the tag structure, regardless of where the pages are inserted), If I first put the tags for the document to be inserted inside a container tag like Section, it makes the process easier. Moving that set of tags to the right place is the only re-fixing that I recall having to do. What behavior are you experiencing?

  • How can i separate 4 files to individual files that are on 1 email?

    How can I separate 4 files to individual files that are all on one email?

    Export your images as png, jpg or tiff. As most users can see these formats. Tiff would be the largest format so it will take up more of your email limit and will be slower to send and receive. But will keep most of the features editable.
    Png like tiff supports transparency, whereas jpg lacks majority of the features found in the other formats but can be highly compressible. However it does so by throwing away data. So each time the file is opened and saved more data is thrown away, if repeated enough times the file is no longer usable.
    Png and jpg are great for viewing inside a web browser or email program. Tiff can be viewed in a image viewer normally associated when accessing the file from windows explorer or mac's finder.
    Once the files are exported, most email programs can select the images as attachments.
