Pages is telling me that I need a newer version before I can open my document. I have the latest version and I am able to open older versions. Whats up?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

I can not get several apps to load on my i-pod touch and I even restored it back to factory. The message I get is that I need iOS 4.3, but i-tunes tells me I already have the latest version.

You can't install any application which requires iOS 4.3 or newer on a first or second generation iPod touch. If you still have a copy of that application compatible with iOS 3.1.3 or 4.2.1, import it into the iTunes library and sync it.

I have downloaded and installed the latest version of numbers on my mac. Everytime I save and then try to reopen that document, I receive a message telling me that I need a new version of numbers. Also, when I try to sort the date column, it sorts out of order. The last version sorted fine.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you install the new iWork version, the old iWork version is kept, so it looks like you are opening your old version.
To fix this, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and drag the new Numbers version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly. Open all documents from this version. I don't recommend you to delete the old Numbers version in case you need it.
Respecting to the second question, you will get better answers in the Numbers for OS X forum

I have old Macintosh LC that recently passed on, anyone know where I can get this repaired or have the data transferred into something else?

I have an old Macintosh LC that recently went down. I am located in the Portsmouth, NH area.
Anyone know where I can get this repaired or have the data transferred??

How much $$ do you care to spend to transfer the data on the LC's 40 or 80 MB hard drive? The original LC is now 21 years-old and has little if any market value (I know - I have an LC I and an LC III), so professional repair will easily exceed that. It's considered "obsolete" by Apple's authorized repair shops, so parts are not available. Was it starting up normally before it stopped working, and if so, were the date & time always correct after it had been disconnected from an electrical outlet? If not and if startups have been hit or miss for a while, your LC undoubtedly needs a new PRAM battery installed. It's a 3.6-volt ½AA lithium battery and is installed in a black plastic holder w/retainer cover clipped over it on the LC's motherboard. The battery can be purchased at battery specialty retailers for about $8 or less, as well as from a number of online merchants. If you don't mind paying 2-3 times the value of the battery, Radio Shack carries it. If you need directions for installing the battery, post back. It's the least expensive thing to try and a new battery has brought many a dead Mac back from the dead. As for the internal hard drive, it could be removed and installed in a slightly newer, pre-G3 Power Mac having an internal SCSI bus. If there are any thrift stores in your area, you might find a suitable Mac for this purpose. This would involve removal of the hard drive from the LC and installation in the newer Mac, with a slight change in the LC's SCSI address jumper placement. Once installed in the newer Mac, the files could be copied. If this is more challenging than you planned on, you might check your area for a Mac User Group, where you might be able to take your LC and have someone transfer the files for you. After the files have been transferred to another medium, you may have problems trying to open them on a newer Mac running a newer OS version than the LC's (System 7.0, 7.1, 7.5.x, or 7.6), if the programs aren't compatible.

Dialogue box says I need a later version of Pages to open file, but I have the latest.

When I try to open a document from icloud on my imac which I opened earlier on my ipad, the dialog box says:
"You need a mewer version of Pages to open this document. You can download the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store."
When I go to do this, I am told it is already installed. How do I open this document?

You have both your older version of Pages in your Applications/iWork folder and Pages 5 in your Applications folder.
Make sure you are opening your iPad document with Pages 5.

When I click on the Firefox icon to get to the internet I get a message saying that Firefox still has a window open and that I need to close it before I can open another window even though there is no window open.

I have not been able to get onto the net through Firefox for several weeks. Each time I try to get on, I get this exact message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." If I restart I get the same message. I really like Firefox so I'd like to solve this situation.

See these articles for possible solutions:

My Imac needs a new hard drive. Can anyone help ensure I get the right one?

I have an Imac from around 2008-09. IMac8,1
It's running Mac Os X ver. 10.5.8 and has the stock hard drive in it.
2gb ram
Running a 2.8ghz Intel Core 2 Duo and I think has like 250 gb
I'd like to get something bigger and also upgrade the operating system. Don't need multiple TB's nor can I afford it but want to ensure i get the right thing for my needs.
It won't install adobe photoshop 6 because operating system is too old but don't want to spend money on new operating system with hard drive that keeps failing.
Error code: 4hdd/11/40000000 SATA (0,0) !
Got this error code about a year ago. downloaded a manual fan program that has helped but every third day or so it crashes and when i try reboot i get the dreaded question mark. usually if i let it rest for an hour or two it fires up but i don't want to risk anymore.
any help greatly appreciated.
cheers

I suspect a failed HD, in that case I'd recommend Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode at least 3x. You will need the original install discs that shipped with the computer, if you do not have them any longer you will need to order a replacement set from Apple by calling AppleCare. You will need a credit card and the serial number of the machine. The cost should be nominal.

IPhoto is saying I need to update it in order to open it but I have the latest version?

iPhoto says to do a software update but the software update is saying that everything is up to date.
Is there a way for it to open and not lose any pictures? I stupidly didn't back up the pictures onto a seperate harddrive.
My computer is relatively new (about 6 months) and am very frustrated.
Please help and thank you in advance.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

How do i sync my ipone 4s to my computer when it is telling me that i need itunes 10.6.3 or later??

How do i sync my ipone 4s to my computer when it is telling me that i need itunes 10.6.3 or later?? i currently have the latest itunes.

Have you move iTunes from the Applications folder?
Moving applications from the spot that they were orginally installed can cause the install to go back to the original spot with the old version still in the new place.

If you mean Ethernet, your computer already has it. If you're referring to something else, what is it?

My ipod touch is saying that I can't connect to itunes because i need the latest update but when i hook it up to my computer it says i have the latest update. where do i go from here?

i just got an ipod touch secondhand. when i try to go to itunes its says "request cannot be completed" then when i search for apps on the internet and try to download them it say I need to update my itunes, but then when I sync my ipod to my computer its says I have the most recent update.

I think that the message is telling you that you need a newer version of the iOS on your iPod. If the computer has iTunes 10.5 installed then your iPod is maxed out.
- A 1G iPod can go to 3.1.3 and you get that here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
- A 2G to 4.2.1
- A 3g and 4G to 5.

Charging not supported with this accessory shows up on my iPad. The cable seems to be broken at the connector. Could it be that I need a new USB cable?

Yes, but should be covered under the warranty of your device (or any device under warranty using that cable) just bring it into the store.

Numbers tell me I need an uptodate version to open a file created but I have the latest version so I am unable to open the files. I see others are having the same problem. Is there a solution?

I just switched to FF3.6.4 from IE. While my gmail pulls up fine, the Calendar does not load. I get an error page telling me that I need to enable cookies, but they are enabled. On the google website other people are documenting this problem as well.

I am having this problem on Windows 7 running Firefox 3.6.6. Gmail opens fine, but when I click calendar I get an error page open in a new tab which says:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

Hello Wyodor,
thanks for your reply on my question.
You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)
greetings Lasource
