Pages freezes when opening a document or starting a new one
Hi Forumfolk,
I'm having a new issue with Pages downloaded from the App Store onto my iMac 3.06Gz core duo.
It's worked fine in the past, but today it's freezing up when either I try to open an existing document or start a new document using the template chooser.
I tried deleting the application and having the App Store reinstall it, but the problem persists.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Many thanks!
OK
Now we know that the problem is somewhere in the global part of the system.
It will be difficult to guess what is wrong because I bought iWork '09 in january 2009 so I don't know for sure what is installed when Pages is bought from App Store.
May you check that the folder :
<startupVolume>:Library:Application Support:iWork '09:Frameworks
exists on your machine and has the contents displayed on the screenshot :
Don't worry, in English, Bibliothèque is spelled Library.

Pages crashes when opening any document on iPad 3 Latest version. I tried everything I could find on the net and finally deleted Pages from my device and reinstalled it. Still when I try to create a new document or open a document it just crashes out.
Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings -

Pages freezes when closing a document
When I click either the red dot or the "close" from the dropdown, I get the rainbow circle of death and I have to Force Quit. Any solutions?
YES! I had never made this connection before because it was so rare that Pages didn't crash on me that I didn't believe I could replicate instances of "non-crashing" window closing. But I opened eight or ten documents and closed them just fine as long as I didn't print or open the print dialog box. However, when I ran through jaydisc procedure, I experienced crashes EVERY TIME. I almost always print the document I'm working on so that's why it seems like it happens all the time.
So why is this happening and how can it be fixed? Is it a particular printer? Obviously not everyone is having this problem. What is the common denominator? Have you had any help from Apple's iWork team on this? I have sent them logs and documents but still haven't heard back from them. -
Adobe Acrobat Standard/Pro freezing when opening large PDF documents
Ok, I have a tough one. Adobe Acrobat X Standard/Pro keeps freezing when opening large documents that exceed approx. 50 pages. These PDF documents contain large images and graphs for mining purposes, but no links. The issue impacts multiple users on multiple laptops/desktops. We have tried the following:
- Uninstalling/re-installing Adobe Acrobat
- Disabling Enhanced Security in Acrobat Preferences
- Resetting local user profiles
- Changing Reading Preferences to view current visible pages only
- Installing Adobe Acrobat XI
This issue has only occurred after upgrading users to a Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit Operating System.
The only possible solution I have managed to find is changing a registry key that permanently disables the Enhanced Security options in Acrobat. This solution however, only worked on brand new user profiles. Resetting user profiles throughout our entire company is not something we are even going to consider.
If anyone would like more information that I have missed, please feel free to ask.Another possibility to check is the free space in the TEMP folder. I believe Acrobat uses the TEMP folder for temporary storage. You might even consider increasing the size of the TEMP folder. At least this is something else to check.

Pages 5.5.1: When opening a document created with Pages '09 (Version 4.0) with Pages 5.5.1 the page header and the page footer are deleted. How can this be prevented? Or is this a bug in Pages 5.5.1?
Same problem here (no graphics in header or footer) and the problem has been reported months ago. It is another bug/feature lost when Apple moves from 09 to the iCloud-compatible versions. Complain to Apple, you may have better chance than me and they may finally listen to their users....

I have a problem: Documents I created in Pages 2009, when opened in the new Pages I get "objects in tables were removed".
This makes all my documents useless !
Is there any way to get the objects (images and tables mostly) to load into the tables across all my documents ?No, there isn't. Use Pages 09 with your old documents and Pages 5.0 for creating new ones. Do you really need Pages 5.0 is the question you need to answer. If not, don't.

Why do I keep getting an error "insufficient data for an image" when opening a document
why do I keep getting an error "insufficient data for an image" when opening a document in Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06
I am also having this problem, especially with scanned documents. Since I need to download scanned documents in my work this is a big problem!Sometimes I can read but not save the document, sometimes one or two of the pages will be blank from the start. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader XI (11.0.10). I tried reducing the page zoom, a suggested workaround on this page: Acrobat: “Insufficient data for an image” error after updating to 10.1.4 or 9.5.2, but that did not help at all. FWIW I use a Windows 8.1 PC with 4 GB RAM. I usually download PDFs from the internet using Firefox.

I updated to Safari 6.1 and now it freezes when opened
Yesterday I updated to Safari 6.1 and now it freezes when opened, although the overall system stays up. I updated to the latest Java and iTunes 11.1.2 at the same time. When I open Safari now, it pauses for a few seconds without going to the home page and then I get the spinning beach ball. I get two messages: One says that the plug-in for SplashID Safe has not been tested with this version of Safari (a message that I had been getting before the update and never caused a problem). The other message says, "Crash Protection It appears that Safari didn't quit properly. Do you want Glims to re-open your tabs anyway?" It gives me a choice to click "Cancel" or "OK". I have tried clicking them (before the beach ball appears) and it makes no difference. The version of Glims I am running is out-of-date.
The only available crash report is almost a month old and therefore is of no help.
I made a back-up with SuperDuper just before updating and can reverse the update if I do it soon, but I would like to get this working.
I would appreciate any advice.
Bill>>The version of Glims I am running is out-of-date.
How do I uninstall Glims? -
When I click on the tab with a + on it, located next to the active tab a new page does not open. If I click on "New Tab" in the File menu a new tab does not open.
Hi jcatx2013, we don't really have enough information on your system to make specific suggestions...
Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)

InDesign cs3 crashes when opening CS2 documents
ID cs3 crashes when opening CS2 documents, not when open dialog appears, but after I choose file and it "starts" opening it. (core duo, xp, clean install, all updates)
If i open ID by opening file, it crashes with standard windows dialog, if I open ID first, it does not crash, but rather behaves strangely, nothing is opening, if I move a mouse it turns to sand clock.
Same thing happens on all machines with ID cs3 in my office.
All other apps works fine. I did read every single forum about ID crashing and nothing helps. Files resaved in interchange format opens well. There must be something in the files that ID cs2 did and what id cs3 cannot open :( Any ideas?1. Is there any reason to use eps? Avoid it use AI, PSD or PDF instead.
2. Are all used fonts ok? What kind of fonts du you use?
3. Which Mac OS X do you use?
Does it crash with alwayst the same files?
What does the file history tell you? Hold down the command key and got to InDesign > About InDesign… Does it tell you somewhat more specific, like missing plugins, severly damaged files and restored files, when (in which version) the files have been created first (helps often to export to IDML and open this again and save it as INDD and work with the new file.), has the problematic file been converted from another application (Quark Xpress or PageMaker), etc. -
Firefox freezes when opening an adobe acrobat (PDF) file from any website
Firefox freezes when opening an adobe acrobat (PDF) file from any website. This only started happening after the latest update of Firefox was installed. Do you have a fix?
Hi Susan,
The Adobe plugin in Internet Explorer is a bit different from the one in Firefox, however they're all made by Adobe and they usually come with Adobe Reader.
When you open a PDF file in Firefox, it "calls" Adobe Reader to help it read the file. In this case, the Adobe Reader takes over, and it is responsible for freezing your browser.
I suggest you try the last 4 solutions presented on the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] (start with "Re-install the plugin" through "Re-install Adobe Reader").
Good Luck :D -
Pages can't open a document, what to do?
Hi,
Since a couple of days Pages won't open any document for me. This includes documents I open immediatly from an e-mail, documents that I open via Pages or documents that I open via Documents. I get the message Pages has stopped immediatly then, including a large error screen. I'm also unable to open a template or a blank page. The message I get is for example 'The document 'Blank Canvas.template' can not be opened'.
Is there anyone who can help me fixing this problem? I found out Pages does work in a guest account, but I have all the documents that I need on my own account.
Thanks a lot!Tim
Click on your desktop so FINDER appears in the upper left corner.
While clicking the GO menu tab, hold down the OPTION KEY, and LIBRARY will suddenly appear in the menu selection.
While holding the OPTION KEY still, click LIBRARY.
From the folders in the library, open the PREFERENCES folder. (make sure you VIEW as List, so it is easier to find, since the list will give in alphabetical order)
Scroll down to
com.apple.iWork.Pages.LSSharedFileList
com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
Tim, I tried draging the preference files to the trash, but did not work for me. Hopefully it works for you. I even had a very nice Senior Advisor from Apple try to help me last night and we still got no where. Even he could not open the Pages 09 document file on his own computer, as I had emailed him a copy.
Just alittle note of what happened to me (21.5" mid-2011 iMac, 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5, 16GB ram, OS 10.7.5 :
Jan 25, 2013 downloaded Pages 09 (v4.3) from App store to my computer.
By Jan 29, 2013 I had typed a 58 page document using the research template within Pages (5 sections: Cover Page, Table of Contents, Chapter Page, Text Page, Bibliography).
On Jan 29, 2013 from 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm while typing research paper I had no problems "saving a version", at 5:36pm I selected the Bioblography from the section pull down menu and then "saved a version" of the document and planned to 'fill in the Bibliography' after eating dinner.
I came back from dinner and Pages 09, gives me an Error box..... that the document cound't be opened.
I can View the document in Preview, unlike others that said they had the same problem, but could not view their documents in Preview.
But I noticed last night while discussing the matter with the Apple Advisor, that the last page (page 58) is actually blank, rather than having the standard "Bibliography title" at the top, like the template selection has on Pages 09. So something happened within the software when I made a selection from the "sections" pull down menu.
Also, the only other program I had running at the time was iTunes (v10.6.3).
The Apple Advisor even remotely accessed my computer last night but found nothing remarkable and took a copy of the document and hopefully Apple will have an answer and possible something to prevent it from happening to anyone else. -
