Pages says its updating even though there are no updates

My macbook pro won't open pages or numbers.  It says they are updating but there were no updates available.
Restarting doesn't help.

Hello Nancy,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Pages and Numbers on your iMac.  I have a couple of suggestions to get this working. 
First, I recommend checking to see if the update was interrupted.  Use the steps in this article:
Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4485
If you do not see any updates to resume, I recommend force quitting the Mac App Store and then trying to open Pages and Numbers.  Use these steps:
Press Command-Option-Esc, then select the unresponsive app from the Force Quit window that appears, and click Force Quit.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • HT201302 what should i do if it says there are no photos found on my device even though there are?

    What should I do if when trying to import pictures from an ipad it says there are no pictures even though there are?

    This information should help
    Issue or symptom
    iTunes may display a message that it could not update iPod because the firmware file was corrupt or not found.
    Products affected
    iTunes 7 or later
    Any iPod
    Solution
    The message does not indicate that there is an issue with the iPod but that iTunes was unable to read the firmware file it uses to restore or update your iPod. You can delete the folder containing the firmware files so iTunes can download a useable (non-corrupted) version.
    Here are the steps to take if you get this message:
    Eject iPod and quit iTunes.
    Use Disk Utility in Mac OS X or run chkdsk in Windows to verify there are no other issues on your hard drive.
    Locate the iPod Software Updates folder:
    In Mac OS X, the folder is
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates (~ represents your home directory)
    In Windows, the folder is
    C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
    Note: If you don't see the files in Windows, turn on the Show hidden files option.
    Open My Computer.
    From the Tools menu, choose Folder Options.
    Click the View tab.
    In the Advanced Settings pane, select the "Show hidden files and folders" button.
    Click OK.
    Drag the iPod Software Updates folder to the Trash or Recycle Bin.
    Connect iPod and open iTunes. You will need to be connected to the Internet to download the files.

  • HT201302 Even though there are over 200 photos on my ipad, after trying both methods of importing and connecting with a lead, a message appears saying that there are no photos on this device. Any ideas?

    Even though there are over 200 photos on my ipad, after trying both methods of importing and connecting with a lead, a message appears saying that there are no photos on this device. Any ideas?

    Did you connect your iPad to your computer then open the application on your computer that transfers photos from a camera? Your computer should recognize the iPad as a camera. All photos in the Camera Roll on the iPad should then be seen and you should be able to copy them to the computer using that application.
    Photos that were synced to your iPad by connecting to your syncing computer cannot be copied back this way as the master file for those photos are on the syncing computer.

    I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
    iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
    My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
    I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
    My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
    Did you ever find anything more to this?

  • HT3412 The preview of my hardcover book as iPhoto laid it out is 62 pgs. even though there are only 82 photos in my album.  That seems like a lot of pgs. for so few photos.  Is this a full 62 pgs or 31? How much is 62pgs?

    The preview of my hardcover book as iPhoto laid it out is 62 pgs. even though there are only 82 photos in my album. 
    The auto layout used mostly 1 photo, full pages.  Obviosuly I can manually re-layout the pages as multi-photo pages and reduce the number of pages.
    However, that seems like a lot of pgs. for so few photos since a blank Photo Essay book layout appears to use 73 photos?
    I'm not sure I know why iPhoto did not the default layout to fill those photo frames.  I expected the 82 photos to use approximately 23-24 pages max.
    Is this a full 62 full pgs or 31sheets?
    If it is a true 62 pages, what is the cost?
    Thanks for the help.

    What does the book look like in iPhoto in the All Pages window?  Are there photos on all pages? Books are printed on both sides of the page so that would be 31 pages.
    This book has 48 pages or 24 sheets.
    To find the cost click on the Buy Book button and check the price that is presented to you.  You can always cancel out of the purchase process.
    Happy Holidays

  • My nano 6 plays the same few dozen songs even though there are 1000 songs.

  • My voicemail alert wont go away even though there are no voicemails

    my voicemail alert wont go away even though there are no voicemails, i have tried turning notifications off and restarting the phoe. the little red circle above the phone icon wont dissapear on the home screen, and the red circle above the voicemail icon wont go away either.

    Make sure you tap on Recent in the Phone app. I've found that when the red badge shows up for a missed call/voicemail it means I need to go to the recent calls view as well to clear out that notice.

  • What do I do when the rebuild function doesn't work on my email? It still saying I have 108 emails left on one of my accounts even though there are no emails being shown...

    I have Lion 10.7.5 and it says that I still have 108 emails on one of my accounts (Microsoft outlook live) even though there aren't any email being shown. And when I try to access my account on the Outlook Web App, there aren't any emails there either. I've tried the rebuild function and it doesn't do anything...what's my next move?

    Here, let me explain the way you use the word "crap" in a sentence like this, especially when I'm asking for help from a total stranger such as yourself. It's rude, obviously I know now not to do something like download something like that to my computer. It's not the difficult to figure out, and obviously I'm suffering the consequences for it now. So are you planning on helping me? Or should I not reply to your next reply if it has the word "crap" in it? I'm sure this whole discussion board was created to be used in a professional way, which is how I would like to keep my responses.

  • Static library is always rebuilt even though there are no changes

    I'm using Visual Studio Express 2012 to build a solution containing several projects including two EXEs, one DLL, and a recently added static library. The static library is used by one of the EXEs and soon the DLL as well.
    Ever since adding the static library I get the following pop-up message every time I use the "Start Debugging" or "Start Without Debugging" to start the EXE:
         This project is out of date
         library - Debug Win32
         Would you like to build it?
    This happens even when there have been no changes to any of the source files in the static library.
    If I click "Yes" I see in the output window that it is starting a build of the static library but no files are recompiled and the library manager is not run.
    I had a similar problem with one of the EXE projects a couple of years ago and was advised to delete all of the files from the Debug (or Release) directory for the project and allow them to be rebuilt. That solved the problem with the EXE project but I've
    tried to do the same with the static library project and it does not olve the problem. The EXE
    is not rebuilt as it should be if anything had changed in the static library.
    Any suggestions?

  • DO NOT show the DEPLOYMENT SUMMARY page even though there are warnings or errors in it when MDT finished

    I put SKIPFINALSUMMARY=YES in my cus.ini
    But the page still shows at the end of process.
    I don't care what's in it,but just make this page hidden automaticly

    Having MDT display the wizard in case of a error (red/salmon) is by design.
    Better to figure out which steps are failing in your task sequence and/or marking the failing steps with "Continue on error" in the Task Sequence Editor. That will suppress errors that are really warnings.

    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • "no music" light error even though there are plenty of tunes!

    Hello! I have three different ipod shuffles that will not play music synced from my apple laptop yet they will play songs when synced to my roommate's PC. From my computer, the songs appear on the ipod, but when I try to play them, nothing happens. The orange and green lights flash. I'm running itunes 7.7.1 and I've been through the trouble-shooting forums posted by apple. I've reset ipod to factory settings. I've checked for software updates. any advice? much appreciated!

    Memory errors have nothing to do with actual lack of RAM. The file is damaged or references a potentially critical external component like a specific printer driver whose info has been stored in the file, a font, a color profile, a linked image or whatever. You need to figure out those problems instead of blindly throwing more resources art the program. As a start, try to open the file on another system. If it works you can limit the investigation to the specific machine and even if it doesn't it may give you a more meaningful warning that helps to diagnose the error.
