Pages, Numbers and Keynotes doesn't allow me to save documents

I created a new document in pages, numbers or keynote and, when trying to save it to my documents folder, it shows me "Couldn't auto-save document".
I've tried with different folders with the same results.
There's no problem when saving to iCloud.
I had installed iWork'09 and moved it to another folder.
Versions are: Pages 5.2.2, Numbers 3.2.2 with OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks in a iMac 27-inch late 2009

Are you running any anti-virus, anti-malware on your Mac? If so, disable this a/v software.
If not, I would suggest the following:
Boot into Recovery (hold command+R at the chime)
Run Disk Utility (verify/repair permissions, and verify drive) on your boot drive
Reboot normally
Boot into safe mode ( you can do this during the above reboot)
At boot chime, press and hold shift key until horizontal progress bar appears
At login prompt, press and hold shift key, after your password, but before clicking right arrow to log in.Press and hold shift key until your Desktop appears
Reboot normally
Re-evaluate if Pages auto-save failure dialog gone.

  • Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?

  • Pages numbers and keynotes not working on handoff, but everything else is?

    Pages numbers and keynotes not working on handoff, but everything else is, map, mail etc. Am I alone?

    Really appreciate your help with this. I am a bit of a novice here.. but.. After some more searching on this issue I notice your comments (cut/pasted  below)  with respect to this router and bridging mode. You mentioned that I should update my firmware on this router and that this would (if I am interpreting your reply correctly) facilitate my LAN to LAN connection and of course using this router simply as an access point and more to the point -  having the use of the guest network. So my question is even if I did update firmware,  seems I would still require 3rd party software to make this work? (re your last sentence in your comments below)  Just need to understand the process and determine whether or not it is worth it (or maybe I should upgrade the router) but I don't want to change the configs of the network wired router at this time... and need to use the E2500 or facsimile as  simply an access point with  guest network functionality,  Thanks much appreciated.
    "Again: some E series routers already support wired bridging in firmware, i.e. to use the router as simple access point.
    This is and was always possible using a LAN-LAN setup instead.
    The problem with the LAN-LAN setup is, however, that you have some limitations accessing the network storage or network printer, e.g. the router doesn't have the correct time and you cannot access the storage from remote using port forwarding through your main router.
    These limitations have been overcome with the wired bridge mode (internet connection type = bridge mode).
    But again: this has absolutely nothing to do with wireless bridging. That's something completely different and is not supported on Linksys routers in any firmware version so far. To do wireless bridging (i.e. the Linksys routers connects wirelessly to another main router) you need 3rd party firmware."

    If you own the Magic Mouse, I guess that it's a problem with gestures settings.
    Thirdly why does Safari always open at the last website ooked at and not at the selected pref Google as the Homepage?
    If you are asking about the app opening when you start the machine, you are describing the behavior of the system's feature named Resume.
    It's designed to reset the apps in the state in which we quitted them.
    On my machine I apply brute force.
    I switch off thru a script which delete the Saved Applications State files then issue a Quit command.

  • I have pages, numbers and keynote on my macbook pro, but when i try to use the apps on my new iMac it will not let me save

    I purchased Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my MacBook Pro and iPad last year.  I just purchased a new iMac for my wife and it came with iWorks.  When I try to save a document on the iMac it tells me I must buy an iWorks serial number, but the App Store shows the applications as installed and will not process the request.  How do I correct?

    Did you pay for iWorks to come preinstalled on the iMac? Because it sounds like what you have is a trial version, which is why it is stating that you need to buy a serial number.
    I suggest that you delete the entire trial iWorks suite. Once they are safely in the Trash where the Mac App Store can't see them, you can sign into your account on the MAS and download the MAS versions that you own a license to use.

  • How to install Pages, Numbers and Keynote again in iPhone ?

    Hi,
    I bought an iPhone 6 plus and it comes with pages, numbers and keynote with it.
    2 days ago those I accidentally deleted those apps
    Now when I wanted to download the Apps again it says $9.99
    Given that in my Apple ID I haven't bought those apps.
    But I bought the iPhone that comes with those apps
    So I thought I should be able to re download it
    Is there a way to restore those apps without purchasing them?

    Did you ever back up our phone to your computer? if yes, those app should be part of the iTunes library. Sync them again to your device.
    You could also try to set your device back to factory settings and see if the apps are installed during this process.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

  • Any recommendations on how to upload pages, numbers and keynote to my 08 macbook with mac os x 10.5.8

    I bought a used macbook recently; when I turned it on, it needed some updates. I do not have Office, but I would like to upload Pages, Numbers and Keynote to be able to work with some of the Office documents.
    Can anyone help??

    The App Store version of iWork ‘09 programs (Pages, Numbers & Keynote) will only work with 10.7 or 10.8. You can get the Work ’09 DVD which will run on 10.5 or 10.6  on eBay or Amazon.com fairly cheap

    I have the same problem. For about 1 month ago I extended my iCloud storage account (+20 GB) in order to maintain my backups for iPHONE and iPAD as my account would expire 14/10. In spite of this, I got an email 15/10, which said that iCloud was reduced to 5 GB. 2 hours later I received a new email with comfirmation on the purchase of +20 GB storage plan. However, I only have access to 5 GB on my iPad and iPhone. Called Apple Support but they couldn´t help me. Did you find any solution ?

  • Yesterday taking consierable time, effort and money I upgraded Pages, Numbers and Keynote and now I can't get "SAVE AS" in pages!  Help!  What to do?

    Yesterday, having taken considerable time, effort and money I upgraded Pages, Numbers and Keynote.  All because I have just bought an iPad and couldn't transfer files unless I got a newer version of Pages!
    Now I can't get "Save As" in Pages.  It will only show "Save a Version".
    Haven't a clue what has happened and would like to get Save as - as in the past.
    Help!  What to do?

    I don't think you lose anything going from Lion to Mountain Lion. Lion just seems "unfinished" to me. I don't have Lion on any Mac. I do have one running Snow Leopard & a couple of PPC Macs running Tiger.
    The only way to upgrade to Mountain Lion is to purchase it in the Mac App Store.

  • HT5051 iCloud updates for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote?

    When will the option to save to iCloud in pages, numbers, and keynote appear? As of 8/16 I still have the option to save to iDisk, it then I'm informed that iDisk is discontinued and I have a button that sends me here.

    The option to save in Pages, Numbers and Keynotes has been around for some time now. It happens automatically on the iPad. There is no "Save to iCloud" option in the apps themselves. You turn it on in the settings.
    I have Pages on my iPad and every document that I create or edit on the iPad - is available to me in my iCloud.com account. Did you turn on use iCloud in all three apps? You have to turn on Use iCloud in the settings for those apps. Settings>Pages>Use iCloud>On.
