Pages opens to blank screen

I have the new Pages, 5.5.2 and OS 10.3.3 on a late 2012 iMac. When I open Pages, the screen is blank. All I get is the menu bar. I can go to File > Open Recent, and nothing displays. If I select 'Full Screen', it appears. I can then go to the Window tab on the menu and anything listed, when selected appears. All would now seem to appear as it should be. Then quit Pages. Open Pages, and I am back to square one, nothing visible. If I look under the Windows tab, there are documents listed, one of them even has a check mark. But until I select "Full Screen", the window is blank. I often leave three or four documents open that I am always working with. And previously, when I quit Pages, and later reopened it, those four documents would be there. Now when I do that, those four documents are listed under "Windows", but none and nothing is visible until I select "Full Screen" view. I can then toggle back, exit full screen and it is fine.  But it seems that entering full screen view is the only way to get anything to be visible.  All of my other apps work normally: Safari, Messages, Mail, Numbers, iTune, Photos, etc.......
BUT NOT PAGES.

How many displays do you have?

    You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at one of these extensions:

  • App Store says there is one update available. But the Updates page shows a blank screen. Have tried syncing with iTunes on mac

    App Store says there is one update available. But the Updates page shows a blank screen. Have tried syncing with iTunes on mac as well. But nothing seems to work. Am using Iphone 5 6.1.4. Help

    Next time that happens while on WiFi, turn WiFi off in settings, wait about 30 seconds or so, then turn WiFi back on. Sometimes you have to do this two or three times, but this fixes that issue as well.

    Publish your site to a local folder and launch it in your browser by double clicking the index.html file to see if the problem exists there.

  • ITunes preferences opens with blank screen, HELP!

    Alright so I was getting bored of the Windows Media Player interface, so I decided to go back to iTunes.
    The installation went fine, but when I wanted to change my options/Preferences, it comes up with this weird blank screen.

    I've searched on google and only found 1 thread about this with no answers. So I decided to come and ask here.
    So I would REALLY appreciate some help because I've always liked iTunes better than WMP.

    What version of iTunes do you have installed? Do you have any iTunes plugins?

    Hi,
    I'm publishing my projector from flash cs3 (embed flashplayer 9.0 r115).I burnt my cd-rom but it doesn't work.
    It opens a blank window, in Windows 7 and Vista.
    Not always, I mean ... It works in most of computers I try to execute, but I get this problem in a few cases.
    I can't get the solution, please anyone can help me?...
    It is a fullscreen projector and uses actionscript 2.0.
    Thanks a lot

    Ok,
    This is normally a setting in a modem or router about DOS or SPI protection.
    Turn it Off if you have it.
    Also Check Internet Sharing is Off.
    Your log suggests that you are using a Airport Base Station of some sort (or one end is)
    If it is your end you will not fond DOS or SPI there it will be the modem.

  • GET URL opens a blank screen

    I have a flash site that I have some PDF's attached to using the Get URL function opening a blank window.
    My client is saying users are clicking on the window and it is timing out. This happend once to me and I got a time out. I think this was from the server and a DNS error.
    The links are correct. On my computer it is fine however I have experienced this once or twice.
    does anyone know why this might be happening?

    Try disconnecting and letting the battery drain completely.
    I've had this a few times and has resolved it every time.
    Though It Really shouldn't happen..

  • Web page opens as blank

    I have been trying to open a web page on a site I have visited with no trouble before, but all I get is a blank, white page instead of the news article that it linked. Others are able to get the article, but I just get a blank page. I've tried using Safari, Camino, and Firefox, and all give me the same non-result. Could this be something to do with the Safari update I installed this morning??
    Any suggestions? It's just the one website that won't open for me (www.broadwayworld.com) -all its pages come up as blank...

    Hi finniii, I had the same problem until I found this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
    I tried the OpenDNS solution that is suggested in the article and it solved my problem.

    Try a reset, then restore.  If that doesn't work, Apple will do an out-of-warranty exchange for $300 + tax.

  • Open to a blank screen (NOT blank document) - Can it be done?

    Is there a way to open to a blank screen (like when you click close on the document template screen)? I'd like to be able to be able to choose to open recent items without having to close the dialog. This is what I do most.

    Hi Timothy,
    It might not be possible to open to blank screen, but here's a workaround:
    1. Go to Finder > File > New Smart Folder.
    2. In the first row, select Kind as the first search criteria and then "Others..."; type "pages" into the box (or select "Pages Publication")
    3. On the second row, choose Last Opened, Created or Last Modified, and then the time frame you want (last 2 weeks, for example).
    4. Click on Save (top right corner of the window).
    This will create your own document launcher for Pages. Rather than using the "Open Recent" submenu from Pages use this smart folder to launch the docs you want. The folder can also be saved to your sidebar for easy access.
    Not exactly what you wanted, but hopefully a helpful workaround.

  • Safari home page opens to a page with ads. How do I correct this?

    Safari home page opens to a screen withers. I do not want this to happen. How do I correct it? Thanks.

    Open the General tab of Safari's preferences and check the homepage as well as what new windows and tabs open with.
    If the issue persists, click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • IPhoto blank screen error message

    iPhoto opens with blank screen and error message "Your iPhoto Library is in use by another application or has become unreadable". Not in use by another application. Tried repairing, doesn't work. Reopened while holding down Option and Command, didn't work. Any suggestions?

    Start with the troubleshooting basics:
    1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.
    Regards

  • (When I have several pages open, if I move the cursor over a firefox page it automatically takes me there.

    When I have a Firefox page open filling the screen, and open an IE page in a smaller form, when my cursor happens to go over the Firefox page, the IE page is minimized.

    Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    Check and tell if its working.
    Not related to your problem but some of your Firefox Plugins are out-dated
    * Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
