Pages will not allow me to retrieve documents any longer. No update available, but the message tells me to update in the App Store!

I'm completely updated, except for two unimportant apps that seem to have some sort of glitch, and no new update is showing up for Pages, yet when I try to retrieve my documents, the message says, "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document". The only thing that I see when I go into the App Store is a new version for $19.99. How can I update without paying? I just want to print my documents for safety and then never use Pages again.

Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud 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 not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

EA4500 would not allow web GUI mgmt session any longer?

Hi everyone,
The strangest thing -- EA4500 would not allow web GUI mgmt session any longer?
It worked just fine for 6 moths; now if I try to manage it using the web gui it would authenticate fine but right after correct password is entered it will sit with the little spinning wheel forever:
Remedies that did NOT work:
1. Rebooted several times
2. Flashed firmware using the tool FW_EA4500_2.1.39.145204.SSA.zip
3. Tried several different browsers
4. Same as number 3 above but from another laptop
Otherwise the router's functions are 100% operational; both wireless and hard-wired; works; performance is as expected in terms of speed; port forwarding works; lights work as expected.
So what's left? I really would like to avoid reset to factury configuration as I have ton of settings which I didn't ducoment back in the day when it was installed.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

Hi bbiandov,
You may disconnect your modem from the router and try to access the user interface again. If you can't access the page still, you may need to reset the router and reconfigure it.

Photoshop CS6 stops responding. Will not allow saving of a document.

System is Windows xp pro 32 bit with 3GB ram. Cannot save or even close out photoshop. Need to end task and start over again. Sometimes documant will be recovered sometimes not.

I scoured through the event viewer and have seen nothing in terms of error messages or warnings. System overall is quite stable which is why I have been slow to upgrade OS's. With regard to programs, processes and services, I have reexamined this list to ensure nothing was shut off inadvertently. Over the years I have tuned this OS to run quite efficiently eliminating unneeded resource hogs. Thank you so much for providing ideas and suggestions.
What I find quite odd is that when the program becomes unresponsive or maybe unstable is more accurate, some filters still function while others do not. Usually it's the larger filters like liquify and others that refuse to show up when called. It’s also that time when the program refuses to save, save as etc. but I can still do small tasks within the program like paint, add layer etc. There seems to be adequate resources available yet if I either try to save through the menu or through key stroke nothing happens. You can’t even close a document by X’ing out. It just ignores the request.
Thankfully, I can work around the issue by saving frequently and closing and restarting. But this is quite annoying.
Thank you to all for offering tips and suggestions.

TS1398 I have been having network problems on my Ipad and I reset all network settings as advised in the article about problems connecting to networks. Now my Ipad will not allow me to sign onto any network....it will not accept the passwords for any net

My ipad has been a little glitchy for the last couple of weeks....not able to load pages because of DNS lookup failure and really slow loading...some of which has to do with the DSL service I have, but I followed the directions on one of the Apple wi-fi issues pages to reset network all connections..which I did, and now the Ipad cannot connect to WiFi because it will not accept (or cannot resolve..or??) password. I am sure I am typing the password correctly and have tried it on several routers..and it cannot cannect to any router properly even with the correct password. My laptop is connected just fine and it accepts the password and I have confirmed the password with the ISP and tried other routers.
So the question is what should I do if I am entering the right password and the Ipad can't sign itself on to the Wifi network?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

TS3212 im trying to reinstall but will not allow, due to an error 7, itunes helper not installed correctly,i have tried several times, but will not allow me to install, i have used itunes for years but now cant use it, can you help

i have tried to reinstall itunes because it is saying i cant use my itunes due to an error 7, itunes helper not installed correctly, please reinstall, i have tried several times but still not allowing me to use, ive never had this problem before in all the years i have used itunes, i have gone through all the troubleshooting but still no access, can you help

Many thanks.
That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

ITunes U will not allow me to subscribe to any course, why?

So I have an iPhone 4 with the latest iOS. I recently wanted to try out Apple's iTunes U app. I downloaded the app just fine but when I go to "subscribe" to any particular course, it allows me to press it and basically confirm it and then...nothing. Nothing downloads, and nothing happens. I have a similar problem with iBooks 2 where I can't sign on to use the service. I'm a bit perplexed. By the way, I've already gone through the typical steps. Uninstall the app, reinstall, restart iphone, etc, etc.

I am having the exact same problem, have vista/hp media center also, sometimes if I double click it will open after all, the arrow keys do navigate however, any suggestions?

Trying to update my addons but addon page will not list my adons. It act like it is searching but never gives me a list.

I understand that you have tried to update plugins but there is a never ending loading.

Where are you pasting from: the system clipboard or something you copied in photoshop elements?
To paste something from within the elements program one needs to make a selection first, Edit>Copy
then Edit>Paste. Is that what your doing?
Also what operating system?

How come version 3.6.3 will not allow me to access my online banking while version 3.6.2 can when they are both exactly the same setup?

I have two computers. Both had Fire Fox 3.6.2. I then upgraded one to 3.6.3. I then tried to access my online banking and I was unable to with the Version 3.6.3. I then went to my other computer and I had no problems accessing it with the one that has 3.6.2. On the computer with 3.6.2 that was upgraded i did not change anything. It has the same add-on, settings, etc. This happens to some other sites as well. I have read and looked through all the help files and nothing helped. I've done everything except uninstall Fire Fox and reinstall 3.6.2 (if i can find it) to see if that will work. I really don't want to do that but if i must then i shall.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded my fire fox from version 3.6.2

Ever since I upgraded to FF 16.0.2 Gmail will not allow me to click on any message. I get this error "Oops- the system encountered a problem (#405)-Retrying"

Google Chat still works on the page, but I cannot access any message and the window does not refresh to show new messages. I am on Windows XP SP3 and have not seen any issues until the upgrade to FF 16.0.2 last week. I also have not installed any new software nor have I made any changes to my internet security software. I can access Gmail through IE8 and on my phone so it is not a Gmail issue.

If it happens again then try these steps:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (MAC)

Fireworks CC Will not allow me to open/import any TIFF files

Any time I try to open or import a TIFF file I get an error - "Could not open/import the file. An internal error occured. I have tried to unistall and reinstall 2 times now and the exact same thing. I am first opening the file in LR5 then moving to PS CC for fine tuning then if I wanna add text or what not I try to move into fireworks but to no avail. Any suggestions on what I can do to correct this issue? Thanks in advance.

If you click on the "down" arrow in the Google search box and then move your cursor to the desired term in search history while still left-clicking on your mouse, and then hold the cursor over the desired search term for a couple of seconds, it works.
Clearly a bug that I hope they will fix.

Web pages will not download in html format, just a long listing of items on the page. How do I correct this?

Firefox was working as normal. I downloaded the Password app from Firefox and all my web pages stopped downloading properly. I deleted the app, no change. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. Nothing. This happened once before & I had to take it to a computer repair store to get it fixed. That time, it was caused by a program that I had downloaded. I tried restoring my system but that did not work either.
