Pages icon won't dock

Pages application icon will not stay on dashboard dock. I also get "Pages cannot be opened  - 1712" message.

Correct. The App Store does not provide upgrades for old versions of iWork applications. You can purchase the new versions from the App Store provided you have Mavericks installed. And, yes, there are issues with new files from iWork applications.

  • Keynote and pages icons disappear from dock

    Although I tried to fix the icons for Pages and Keynote to the dock by dragging the apps from the application folder to the dock, everytime I restart the computer, the two icons have disappeared. I did repair disk permissions, but it still happpens!
    Anyone who's got a clue?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello bdy:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    The most probable reason is that you accidentally dragged the icon out of the dock. I have done this myself when I "opened" a program and dragged the pointer from the dock instead.

  • I downloaded Maverick and now I can't open pages from the Dock.  The Pages icon just jumps up and down abut doesn't open.  However, I can one pages by clicking on the App. I have an iMac with iWork 08.

    Since upgrading to Maverick from Mountain Lion I am unable to open Pages from the Dock.  When I click on the pages icon in the dock the icon just keeps bouncing up and down.  However, I can open pages by clicking on the icon in the Apps folder.  No problems prior to upgrading to Maverick.

    Quit Pages. Drag its icon out of the Dock. Create a new one by dragging the application into the Dock. Test.

  • Pages icon dock keeps hopping

    I did the pages update yesterday on my iMac (10.9.1). Today, the pages icon in the dock keeps hopping. Always twice, then stops. Then after a while it hops twice again, then stops. More distracting than anything. Anything I can do to stop it? 
    BTW, I did shut down computer overnight, which should be the same as restarting  it, right?

    Sorry, here's why I learned from a discussion, "Why does app icon keep jumping?"
    "Broke down and called Apple.  After dragging the Numbers icon to the trash and then dragging the one from the Applications folder back to the dock, it stopped jumping."

  • Pages Icon in Dock

    I have a new Mackbook Air which I ordered with "Pages" which does not appear in the "Dock" or in the "Launchpad" however, when I enter "Pages" in the search box it will appear and when I click on it "Pages" will appear in the "Dock". How can I keep the "Pages" Icon in the "Dock" so I can just launch from there instead of going to the search mode.
    Thanks in advance for any input

    Otherwise, when You see the icon in the search box click on it, then with the three fingers gesture drop it in to the Dock.

  • Pages '09 won't open my AWK or DOC files

    I've bought iWork '09 to future proof myself against the day I finally have to abandon a computer running Snow Leopard + Rosetta (I can still run AppleWorks and Word 2001 on my present machine but that won't always be the case).
    However, now I'm beginning to regret it. Every document from AppleWorks 6 or Word 2001 (or Word 97 onwards ".doc" saved by TextEdit) will not open in Pages. I get a message, "The document __________ cannot be opened". I've tried both dragging the files onto the Pages icon in the dock, and by using Open in Pages.
    Yet Pages will open a Simple Text document (albeit with a lot of "garbage" where the formatting was), and it opens TextEdit RTF documents, and I can grab and insert any jpeg into it.
    But I bought the suite on the grounds that it will open AW6 and Word .doc files ... yet it won't! What has gone wrong?

    Consider continuing to run Appleworks in Lion or Mt. Lion with Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) installed into Parallels:

  • Have upgraded to Snow Leopard. Pages icon still there but wont open, and i cant open my pages docs. Any ideas

    Have upgraded to Snow Leopard. Pages icon still on dock but wont open. Also I cant view my documents. Do I have to buy Pages from ITunes? Thankyou

    Good, use the disc. Also do the software updates. You can download from here http://www.apple.com/support/pages/
    and you don't need the Pages 4.1/ iWork 9.1 I downgraded from iWork 9.1 to iWork 9.0.5.

  • "x" over pages icon?

    While my "Pages" program works fine, along the bottom of my macbook, there is a circle with a "/" through it atop the pages icon.
    What does this mean?  As the program works, I haven't paid a lot of attention to it, but it certainly means something negative.
    Any experience with this?

    Very odd experience.
    Summary:
    After saving my Pages document, I attempted to remove Pages from the Dock and I was never allowed to do so. When I dragged the icon to the trash (and got a "Remove from Dock" prompt), it would not allow removal.  The icon jumped back on the dock.
    When I right-clicked on Pages in dock, selected 'Options', my only options are "Keep in Dock", "Open at Login" & "Show in Finder".
    I went to Finder, Applications, iWorks (to see if I had more than one Pages application therein and found only one).
    When I closed Finder, the Pages icon no longer had the circle and slash image atop it in the Dock.
    For whatever reason, this symbol no longer sits atop the Pages icon in my dock.
    Thanks for the assistance, though I don't know how it disappeared!

  • Pages icon keeps jumping on my mac?

    how do u fix this?

    Hi falfad,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Are you asking about the Pages icon on the Dock of your iMac?   Check your Dock preferences in System preferences for your Mac.  You may have your icons set to bounce when you open an application.  Icons on the dock will also bounce when there needs to be some action taken in the application.

  • Hi, I was importing pictures into iPhoto from my sd card and suddenly iPhoto quit.  Now it just won't open.  When I click on the iphoto icon in the dock, nothing happens!  Does anyone have a solution to this problem please?

    Hi, I was importing pictures into iPhoto from my sd card and suddenly iPhoto quit.  Now it just won't open.  When I click on the iphoto icon in the dock, nothing happens!  Does anyone have a solution to this problem please?

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
    If it does then your current library has been damaged and should be repaired: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Icons won't stay in dock

    Some icons won't stay in my dock when I drag them from the applications folder, but others will.
    I have tried the following without success:
    -gone to library/preferences and deleted com.apple.dock.plist then done a restart
    -gone to library/preferences and deleted com.apple.dock.db then done a restart
    -gone to library/preferences and deleted com.apple.DiskUtility.plist then done a restart
    -used disc utility to repair permissions
    -opened an application from the applications folder then whilst the icon is in the dock used right click.options/keep in dock
    -deselected dock synchronisation from mobile me sync
    None of these measures work though iPhoto & iTunes are not affected by the problem.
    The only workaround I have found is to create an alias of an application and drag this to the dock where it does stay put.
    Can anyone suggest anything else?

  • I couldn't find the "Reload Page" icon and went to "Customize" found it and moved it to the top tool bar but when I clicked "Done" it dissapeared. It won't stay visible. How can I keep it there for my use?

    I have V6 of Firefox and never had to worry about the "Reload Page" icon before so when I upgraded to V6 I was sorry to see that it was gone. Also the "Page Back" arrow isn't lit up and won't work. I have to go to the history and go back using that.. what happened to the back arrow? Now there are 2 clicks instead of one?
    I went to the "customize Toolbar" and moved the "reload Page" icon back to the top and it disappeared when I was done. How can I keep the "Reload Page" visible and useful?

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).<br />
    If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
    You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the Menu bar is hidden.

    I use picasa for my photos..currently there is a question mark imposed over the icon on the dock and it won't open...what does this mean?
    Thanks for any help.

    The icon in the dock is a shortcut to the app itself.....for some reason the icon has lost contact with the app.......go to your Applications folder and drag Picasa back to the dock....a new alias (shortcut) will be created.....

  • I updated to OS X Mavericks but I now have two Pages and two Numbers icons in my Dock.   Both contain files and folders.  I am not convinced that Mavericks installed correctly, but what should I do?

    I updatd my MacBook Pro to OS X Mavericks, but I now have two icons in my dock for Pages and two for Numbers, both of them contain files and folders.   If I click the original Pages icon it says that there is an update available, if I then click to update the Itunes pages says no updates available.   I am not convinced that Mavericks updated correctly.  What can I do please.

    There are new versions of the iWork apps, but they have been completely re-written for Mavericks / iOS / iCloud integration. They are feature limited at this time, so Apple left the original versions on your Mac. They are in an iWork folder in the applications folder.
    Along with changes to the programs themselves, the file formats are different. Some things like Google and Dropbox think the file formats are viruses and blocks them (I don't know if that is still the case as I don't use either). So, you may want to continue to use the old versions.
