Pages on iPad won't import Pages from my computer

This makes me cross !
I have bought Pages for the iPad so I can open and edit Pages documents that I create on my office Mac.
However my iPad version will not import them because it will only import from files that are created with iWork 09 ! - my office Mac runs 08 and I'm perfectly happy with it.
I can see that the import screen on the iPad has correctly read the document I'm trying to open but it still refuses to actually import it.
What ??
However it will open Word documents from software that is 10 years old.
This seems like a very cynical piece of marketing.
I am obliged to buy another copy of iWork to get my Mac to communicate with my iPad ??
What are they thinking ?
Actually this makes me very cross

David,
Use the Pages > Feedback menu item to let Apple know how you feel. We're just here to try to help you You have options:
Export from Pages '08 to Word and open on the iPad
Part with 20USD and put Pages '09 on your office computer.
My preference would be the second option. You've gotten your money's worth out of the iWork '08 purchase.

  • Itunes won't import files from my computer c drive

    I click on
    'File'
    then
    'Add file to library'
    then files on my C drive show up and I select one or several, then click on
    'Open'
    and nothing happens, no error, no file imported, no message, just nothing.

    Well, there are two reasons I can think of why it's not adding them and you get the red slash-circle.
    1) Operating system permissions are not letting you do this. However your profile says XP, and this is more common with Vista and WIndows 7 - permissions suddenly changing with no notice to you. Even ifyou'rethe only user, and using an admin account.
    2) The files are mp3 and somehow the headers have gotten damaged/corrupted. Other players (like windows media player) will play them but itunes is too fussy. You can use MP3 Validator to fix the headers. Try it only on ONE file to start.
    More info is on this webpage

    Yes, I know the article says "fix for songs not playing", but it is the same fix if they will not add to itunes.

  • Copying iweb pages from one computer to another

    I have iweb pages operational on a G5.
    I want to transfer them to iweb on my macbook instead.
    I don't want to re-create them from scratch.
    I have a .mac account.
    Both iweb programs are the same version.
    This is a mac! There must be an easy way to copy the web pages from one computer to another!
    I explored the domain file route, copied the file from my G5 to the macbook, and did not get the pages I wanted. Instead I got the start page template. My information was not there.
    Any help out there?

    All your information is in a single file called "domain"
    By default it should be located in your
    user/library/application support/iWeb/ folder.
    Find it, copy it, and move it to the new computer.
    The first time you use it on the new computer double click the newly moved "domain" file to start up the iWeb application. Once you do that iWeb will remember that that is the file to open on start-up.
    I use multiple computers to edit iWeb and to avoid confusion as to which "domain" file is the most recent, I just keep it on a flash drive. Be sure to keep "domain" backed up safely on your computers and off (CD disks, external hard drives, etc) because if you lose that one file, you've lost all your work. iWeb cannot edit published pages.
    The reason you got blank pages is that you have to double click on the newly moved "domain" file to start up iWeb. Otherwise iWeb will start from the blank "domain" file that is already on the computer. You can have many "domain" files on the computer, If you start the iWeb application by clicking the iWeb icon, it will open the last "domain" file edited on that computer, which isn't the one you just moved. There is no other way to access your work.
    Good luck, David

  • Photos won't import images from my Canon camera.  When connected, program sees the images, tells me it will import the new ones, then freezes once import starts, not allowing any other operation to happen.  MacbookPro 15" 2012, OSX Yosemite 10.10.3.

    Solution discovered.  Faulty connector cable.  Tried a different one and it worked.

  • IPhoto says it won't import photos from my Fujifilm Finepix S1000 camera because it's the wrong format (jpeg).  It always has before... but I upgraded to Lion then went back to Snow Leopard and now it's not working.  Suggestions?  Thanks!

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5.  Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgraded application.

    iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5.  Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgrader application.  Repeatedly says it can't locate photos even when told to cancel.  I think the photos in question are in Nikon RAW format.

    iPhoto 9.5 immediately tries to "upgrade" my library using the upgrader.
    iPhoto 9.5 asks you to run the upgrader to prepare the library for 9.5. It then will update the library to its format.
    You need to do the following:
    1 - go to your Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application. 
    2 - select Choose Library, navigate to your iPhoto library, select it and let the upgrader do its thing.
    3 - launch iPhoto 9.5 to open and finish the conversion of the library.

  • IPhoto won't import video from a Samsung HZ15W digital camera.

    iPhoto won't import video from a Samsung HZ15W digital camera. What's the easiest way to get the video imported. Also, didn't prior versions of iPhoto accept this format?

    As you don't mention the version of iPhoto, I can only guess that you've been caught in the gap between Apple and Samsung. Somethign changed with iPhoto 11 and it's quite rigid about how timecode is handled in video and there's something not quite standard in the Samsung timecode. Google around a bit for more.
    And, as Larry say, try iMovie

  • Can the ipad reminders app import tasks from the calendar app so I can enter items once?

    Can the ipad reminders app import tasks from the calendar app so I can enter items once?

    Depends on an account. The Tasks in Exchange will populate Reminders, and you can use Reminders in iCloud, but natively entering something in Calendar does not reflect in Reminders.

  • I want to transfer iWeb pages from my computer to a friends computer. How do I upload the pages to them?

    I want to transfer iWeb pages from my computer to a friends computer. How do I do this?

    What is the friend going to do with the website?  If he's to edit and publish it follow Wyodor's links on moving the Domain.sites file to the other Mac.  If it's just so he can open the site locally you need to publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and move that folder to his computer.

  • I bought a book on itunes on my pc. I want the book on my ipad.  When I plugged in my ipad to sync it moved all my apps to my pc - useless. how do i get my apps back on my ipad and get the book from my computer to my ipad?

    I bought a book on itunes on my pc. I want the book on my ipad.  When I plugged in my ipad to sync it moved all my apps to my pc - useless. how do i get my apps back on my ipad and get the book from my computer to my ipad?

    Instructions on syncing your iPad can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12311
    and in the accompanying documents linked from that page. Syncing your iPad with iTunes copies items, it doesn't move them. The only way apps would be actually removed from your iPad during syncing is if you had iTunes set to remove them on syncing, so check the appropriate settings in iTunes, set the book to sync as well, and then sync the iPad again.
    Regards.

  • I can't import music from my computer into Itunes

    I've been trying to import music from my computer into Itunes, And it isnt working
    I have the latest version of Itunes
    When I try adding the files by clicking add file in Itunes or by dragging, it does nothing
    I know it means that the file is incompatible with Itunes, But I have put the same type of file into Itunes before with no issues (MP3)

    Hey Haley.1182,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having trouble importing music into iTunes. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article should help get the music imported. The second article shows what formats are compatible with iTunes.
