Pages Suddenly Not Reopening Its Files

Using Pages 5.5.2 (w Yosemite)
Just recently (in fact not long after doing a complete clean re-install of Yosemite for an unrelated issue), I've noticed that Pages sometimes does not reopen the documents I hadn't closed the time I last quit the app. (And these are just plain old Quits, not Force Quits or a "Quit Unexpectedly"-on-its-own situation.)
Does the newest update have some sort of "restore previous session" command (a la some browsers)? Or a new Preference I need to activate? (Can't find any sign of either.) I know that Pages 5.x HAD been reopening files in the way you'd expect, so is this new "absent minded" behavior more likely a system issue than an application one?
The docs I want to use are generally all in the Open Recent list, but having to go to that list and select them one at a time is annoying. Would just like to get back the default behavior of when I close Pages with five docs on the go, those same five docs reopen right where I left off the next time I launch the app. Any suggestions on how to make that happen would be welcome.
Thanks,
John B

Hi John,
OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, Pages 5.5.2
End of session with all open documents saved
System Preferences > General > Untick Close windows what quitting an app
Quit Pages, relaunch Pages. Five docs reopen
Regards,
Ian.

Pages 5 not opening earlier files

I have just received a Pages 5.0 file which will not open in my Pages '09.
Why is 5.0 not backward compatible within Pages, while Pages '09 can easily manage to open Word docs? What an insult to Mac devotees.
Blackmail to get me to upgrade or what?

Ask whoever sent you the file to:
Menu > Export > Pages '09 or Word .docx
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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 removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Dreamweaver suddenly not loading jquery files

I've been working on customizing a website and everything was working absolutely perfectly. All the jquery files were being loaded and all the effects were working as they should. I purchased a template that already had all the jquery.js files properly scripted, as I've never written javascript or anything like that. I can edit html and css, but other types of code are very unfamiliar to me.
Anyway, a few weeks back, I closed up dreamweaver for the night with every element of my web page functional. The next morning, I installed an update to the Dreamweaver software, and that's where the problems began. I changed absolutely nothing about my previously functional files, but when I went to edit my site after the update, my drop-down navigation bar, my automated roundabout, prettyPhoto effects and nivo-slider were no longer working. All I get is a string of images with no css applied and no functionality for the roundabout and nivo-slider, only the titles for the drop-down nav, and the prettyPhoto simply opens the image in a new window with no formatting or functionality.
I wrote regular Adobe support first, but they said they couldn't help me because it's a scripting/coding issue, and I've tried reinstalling Dreamweaver from my original install disk, but the problem persists.
I really need some assistance addressing this issue and will gladly provide the code or anything else anyone needs to look over in order to diagnose the issue.
Thanks!

You need to make sure ALL the relevant files (css and js) are uploaded to the correct places on your remote web server:
This one (jquery.cycle.css) is not where the link says it is:
http://birkeloart.com/_include/css/jquery.cycle.css
Whilst this one (jquery.roundabout.css) IS where the link says it is:
http://birkeloart.com/_include/css/jquery.roundabout.css
There's a lot of scripts and css files so you'll have to go through them one by one.

Why won't Lightroom 2.3 suddenly not import RAW files?

Why can't I import RAW files into Lightroom 2.3? I've imported them for years, until today, after I installed a Canon Pixma MX860 multi-purpose printer. Would this affect Lightroom? Now I get a Lightroom message: "The files could not be written." Tried to import from Canon 5D on a CF card and from a Panasonic Lumix on an SD card many times. Same result. I can pull the RAW files individually off the cards into Photoshop CS3 RAW window and adjust them, but can't on Lightroom. It won't automatically import the files and won't take them manually. Am using a PC with XP Professional. Any thoughts?

Are you sure it's the same problem as that user had?
What error message are you getting when you try to import a raw file?
What camera?
What version of LR?
What computer and operating system?
Did your ability to import raw files just suddenly stop, or have you never been able to import them?

Premiere CS6 suddenly not supporting .VOB files

Hey guys...
Been working on a reel on Premiere Pro CS6, wherin most of the footage comes straight from ripped DVD footage. Was working FINE for weeks, could drag and drop the VOB files and preview/edit them in premiere NO problem...
However, one day I noticed that the vast majority of my footage had gone offline. I tried to link the media back up, but to my suprise, whenever I try to link media or drag and drop new VOB files into the Project Panel, I get this message:
Error Message
File format not supported.
Premiere suddenly no longer accepts, previews or lets me cut VOB files. I have no idea what went wrong...I vaguely recall accidentally disconnecting my harddrive while the project was open one time, and that seemed to be around the time the problem started. But I'm not sure, and even further still I'm not sure that an event like this would cause such a drastic change in the program. It's like the codec got erased or something.
I've tried uninstalling Premiere completely and re-installing again, probably 4 times now but to no avail. Today I caved in and wiped CS6 Master Collection COMPLETELY from my computer, even going so far as to erase any remaining folders w/ the word 'Adobe' on it, and re-installed everything fresh. Unfortunately, same result. When I open the project, all of the VOB files on the timeline are still dead and it still wont let me drag new VOB media into the Project Panel. I have no idea what is causing this.
The closest thing I found to someone else having this problem is here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4648006
It seems his problem suddenly--an inexplicably fixed itself. Discouraging...
I read somewhere else of someone's VOB files not working, and someone recommended using Encore to rip the DVD's and it should work. I used MacTheRipper, but those files were working GREAT in the beginning, so I don't see why now suddenly they would shut off like that. Im not against trying encore, but I've already returned some of the DVD's to the guy who shot the footage, and it will be a pain to get them all back and re-burn them in encore.
Can anyone think of a solution for this? I would worship you for eternity, even build a statue in my closet and feed it every night.

My sequence pre-sets are the same exact as this image:

Does this look like some presets are missing, and could this be the cause of my problem?

WRT300N QoS web page suddenly not working

I have a WRT300N router. I have been able to set QoS settings successfully and have added some MAC address before.
Suddenly, when I'm about to add one more, the Category selection is not working anymore. and there's no initial selection for the page when it first load on my browser.
Also, a weird thing is that the summary of my MAC addresses that I have added before were all gone.
Tried it on all browser (IE,FIrefox, Safari, Chrome) and still the error occurs.
Rebooted my PC and my router and still the problem occurs.
I inspected the problem on Firebug and shows me the ff: javascript errors:
1.) missing ) after argument list
2.) init is not defined
3.) to_submit is not defined (when I hit the "Save Settings" button)
Hardware:
WRT300N V1
Firmware Version: v1.03.6
Software:
Windows 7 Ultimate
Firefox 3.6.13
IE 8.0.76
Chrome 8.0.55
Safari 5.01
Need help.
Thanks.

^quack,
he said that "Tried it on all browser (IE,FIrefox, Safari, Chrome) and still the error occurs."
can you still see other settings saved on the router? like the set-up page?
have you tried upgrading lately?
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift.

Web page does not see SWF file

Hi, I am wondering if anybody can point me in the right direction?
I have created a web page with Indesign which includes some animation.
When I export it to SWF format it creates seperate HTML and SWF files.
I have moved these two files, together with every other file I used in creating the document to my web host (Hostmonster). I have read on other threads that I probably should have a RESOURCES file, I don't have one.
When I go to my home page, I get a grey screen, which Hostmonster inform me is because the HTML cannot find the SWF file.
Anybody got any idea what I may be doing wrong.
Thanking you in advance.
Warmest regards
Peter

Hi Bob,
Thank you for taking the time to try and help.
I uploaded the files and folders using Filezilla.
The above image was a screen sho under Hostmonster that shows that my files are indeed there.
I also came across a folder for SWF which I believe belongs to the main website (cliveread.com) and put my file in there, it does not make any difference.
As you will see in 3 both my HTML and SWF files are there.
As a novice I hope you can help.
Warmest regards
Peter

How do I transfer over my Pages program and all its files to my new mac?

I recently bought a macbook air and would like to continue to use my Pages program that I have been using on my old Macbook pro. Does anyone know if I can redownload it from the Apple store without having to pay or if there is another way I can access the program and all my old files?
Thanks!

The Apple Store is not the same as the Mac App Store, which is what I think KarenSelena is referring to when she says "Apps store." So, the question is, did you buy a retail box or a license for a downloaded trial of iWork '09 or did you buy the individual apps from the Mac App Store?
If you did buy Pages from the Mac App Store you can go to the "purchases" section of the App Store.app & download it again using the same Apple ID as before.

Lightroom 5 suddenly not recognizing CR2 files...

I plugged in my card reader today to import some raw files, and lightroom said they could not be imported because the files weren't recognized. I opened them just fine in photoshop so I know the files are okay. I also tried copying to my desktop and importing from there, but I got the same message. Any idea why this would be happening? It happened with two different memory cards as well so I don't think it's a card issue.

Hmm - it's taking me to my copy.com account, instead of your file - somethin' not quite right (and I think it's the link you posted - format looks wrong to me..).
Will this link take you to a file for download at copy.com?
https://copy.com/0p79pFlggJoV
I think the copy.com download links always have the same format:
https://www.copy.com/{12-char-code}
I could be wrong.

Pages does not open .docx files that were created by Windows Mobile 6

Pages can read .docx files created from Windows (Vista Office). But for .docx files created in Windows Mobile devices, Pages cannot open them. It show up as blank. If I use microsoft office for Mac to open, it can open them. If I save the opened file from office Mac, I can open it Page.
I hope that there is a fix to this problem.

There is a converter that might help you.

Pages will not open .doc files

Good morning everyone. Read through some older threads about this problem and I have not yet found a solution, so I hope some fresh eyes can help me out with this situation. Recently upgraded to a new 27" iMac and decided NOT to install MS Office. Going with iWork exclusively. Been an iWork user since it came out and never really had any major problems. However, now I cannot open any .doc files at all - I am simply prompted with an error that the document could not be opened. It doesn't matter how I try to open the file or where the file originates (mail, desktop, etc) it simply will not open, or what the file even is - as I have tried multiple, different .doc files.
Any idea as to what is causing the problem? This is a new one for me and I am growing more and more frustrated by the day. Thanks for any suggestions

Have you read this thread ? _http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10339184_
Go through the suggestions and do come back and tell us what worked.

Last session tabs suddenly not reopening

For months now, when I opened FF, all of the tabs I had open in the previous session automatically reopened. When I started FF 6.0 today, all of my tabs were gone. I look at my history, and it shows lots of pages I have visited. That tells me that it wasn't that the history was deleted. Any ideas?
