Pages will not open now that I installed it over a trial

I have been perusing the previous posts, but cannot find the exact problem I am experiencing.
I entered the serial number when I click "Buy" and all seemed dandy. Problem is, when I try and open Pages, there are no templates under "New", the projects I created when I had the free trial will not open, and there is no Pages help. In short, it seems like it is there, but it's not there.

When you deleted "everything" did you delete the receipts for Pages & Keynote? When the trial first became available I wrote the user tip that's at the top of this forum, Peggy, "iWork: Can’t install iWork after using the iWork trial", 07:38am May 20, 2005 CDT. It has since been amended, but the original info is in the section "Should the above not work" & details all the pieces that would need to be deleted before reinstalling.

EDIT: The installer is finding something that you didn't that tells it iWork is installed.

  • PPro CS5 will not open now that 5.5 is installed and I need it (Mac)

    I installed premiere pro 5.5 and now the previous version 5.0.4 will not open on my Mac.
    What I really need is the title templates and title font style presets I created in the CS5 version, but I can't find the location to import those. They don't appear to be in /Adobe Premiere Pro CS5/Presets/Templates or /Styles, just the standard ones.
    Where are the user created styles and templates (ones that get customized in premiere not photoshop or anything like that)?
    Why can't I open ppro cs5 anymore?

    I'm not sure how it works on a Mac, but on Windows, styles are saved to a file called "workingset.prsl" unless you specifically create a new style library. You could try searching for that file, and then copy it into the similar path for CS5.5.

  • How can I get back my Word docs now that Pages will not open them?

    How can I retrieve my Word docs now that Pages will not open them in Mavericks.  I have a brand new iMac with my evolving manuscript for a book transsferred from my now defunct MacBook Pro by external drive.  Pages tells me that "PowerPC apps are "no longer supported" and Mavericks will not open Microsoft Office, though it is still in Applications.  Would really appreciate ANY help!

    You will have to have an app that will open them first, you can upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 which is an Intel based app then open the docs and retry. Your docs were created with extremely old version of Office for Mac, version 2004!
    Another possiblity is  using a web based compatible MS Office for Mac app and see if it will open your doc and then save it, then attempt to re-open in Pages.

  • Pages will not open any of my word documents.  The I works documentation states that it will open them.  What don't I know

    Pages will not open any of my word documents.  The I works documentation states that it will open them.  I have tries using the open under the file menu and I have tried dragginh the file to the pages 09 icon.  Either way I get the following Message "The document “*****.docx” couldn’t be opened.What do I need to do to open them?

    hello, the most likely cause is a firewall/security program preventing firefox from accessing the internet. see [[Firewalls]] for information on how to configure them correctly.
    also make sure that firefox is set to directly connect to the internet in firefox > options > advanced > network > connection - settings... in there "no proxy" should be selected for normal use cases.

  • Website pages will not open without refresh everytime

    website pages will not open without refresh everytime

    website pages will not open without refresh everytime
    That can be a symptom of a poorly performing DNS.  E.g. IE tries a lookup but doesn't wait long enough to get the answer; meanwhile the lookup proceeds, gets cached, etc.; so now when you try your "refresh" it is all there ready to go.  Unfortunately,
    I don't think there is any way of tuning your TCP to avoid this symptom.  A workaround would be trying a different DNS.  (A related workaround is to avoid a DNS relay to your router and make the OS aware of your real DNS.)  A way of changing
    the symptom is to always do enough in a cmd window to ensure a complete lookup is cached before you make your first request using IE, (e.g. using ping -n 1 because you don't care at that point if there
    is connectivity for ICMP).  But there may be problems doing that, depending on aliases and redirects and short Time To Live values.
    Post some details for a specific publicly accessible example, if you would like to see how these ideas could work with it.

  • Pages will not open from iCloud since Maverick update

    Pages will not open from iCloud since Maverick update

    I have a similar problem.  I upgrated to Maverick a couple weeks ago and at that time I saw a very different appearance to my Pages documents, especially my book lists.  Numbers appeared at the left side of the pages.  All seemed well.  Now the last few times I've tried to open those documents, I get the message that "YOU NEED A NEWER VERSION OF PAGES TO OPEN THIS DOCUMENT.  YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION OF PAGES FROM THE MAC APP STORE".  I can't figure out how or why the version reverted back to the way it was.  That message doesn't always come though.  Some documents I can open but some I can't open at all.  If I click LEARN MORE, I am directed to the APP STORE where I can buy Pages 5.0.1 for $19.99!!!!!  What the heck is going on?????  Am I going to have to pay for pages where Maverick was FREE. 

  • How do I uninstall iPhoto and reinstall from the APP Store? I already own it, but it will not open now.

    I have the latest version of iPhoto installed, but it will not open now. An earlier error message prompted me to update to the latest version, which I have. How cna I uninstall and reinstall this APP that I aleady own?
    Thanks - David

    Fixing that does not require reinstalling the iPhoto Application - it requires correct library issues
    What exactly happens? What version of iPhoto do you have installed (in teh finder select it in the Applications folder and get info)?
    If it iPhoto '11 version 9.5.1 then Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

  • Pages will not open at all?!?

    I'm really frustrated because Pages will not open at all, nothing happens when I click on the icon it's not until I click on the Force Quit to find out it's not responding. I am running Mac OS X 10.8.4. I have tried restarting my mac, deleting and uninstalling Pages. Please help, school is starting soon...

    That is Pages '09.
    Then you have damaged .plist (preference) files.
    Delete
    User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWork09.Installer.plist & com.apple.iWork09.plist
    You may have to hold down the option key as you click on the Go menu in Finder to see your Library.

    I am trying to figure out why some pages will not open.  I've tried proxy settings and it does not allow me to check boxes.  Certain pages--like groupon stuff--will not open.  Is there an easy fix?  Will you hep?  Thanks

    I am so sorry to hear that you cannot open some web pages by typing a URL.

  • App update page will not open,help.

    When using the app's store update in which it says there is 3 updates, the update page will not open, just a blank page, can anybody help?

    There is a problem with Apple’s servers that only they can fix. The problem has been going on for several days. You can try rebooting first and see if that gets the apps to show up in the updates tab.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    This is a workaround only and not a fix. If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    Select update on the Apps
    Hopefully the red notification number will go away after the updates are applied.
    Another option is to update your apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the updated apps to the iPad.
    1. Launch iTunes
    2. Click on Apps in the list under the Library heading in the left Sidebar.
    Click on Updates at the top in the window on the right
    Update all of the apps
    Connect your iPad and Sync with iTunes
    If you do not see the sidebar in iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu at the top.

  • Pages will not open after update

    Pages will not open at all after I updated to Yosemite.  Can anyone help out with this? Thanks.

    Can you see my screen, because I can't see yours.
    What version of Pages are you talking about?

  • Pages died today. Just downloaded the latest update 2 days ago. Last night shutting down my very new MacBook Pro, Pages stopped shut down. Today Pages will not open, all my Pages docs cannot open. Help please! Anybody have a fix?

    Pages died today. Just downloaded the latest update 2 days ago. Last night shutting down my very new MacBook Pro Retina, Pages stopped shut down. Today Pages will not open, all my Pages docs cannot open. Help please! Anybody have a fix?

    You probably have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 in your Applications folder, will open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them. It can not open Pages '08 files.
    Pages '08/'09 in your Applications/iWork folder which can not open Pages 5 files.
    When you were shutting down you probably had an unsaved document open.
    You probably are opening the wrong versions of Pages to open the wrong document format.
    Pages 5 has had over 90+ features removed.
    Most users are going back to Pages 09 whilst Apple sorts this out.

  • Pages will not open on iPad

    Pages will not open on iPad. Icon just flashes and then nothing. Numbers works great. Pages works on iPne great.

    The app is crashing for some reason. Even though it is only flashing and will not open, it may still show up in the task bar. So try quitting Pages and then restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps.
    Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • I have Acrobat XI on a PC and have received a Fatal Error message indicating that "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE Server."  Acrobat will not open now.  How do I regain access to the program?

    I have Acrobat XI on PC.  After trying to convert a webpage to PDF, I received a Fatal Error message indicating that "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE Server."  Now, the program will not open.  How do I regain access to the program?

    I have Acrobat XI Pro and have been experiencing all sorts of "freeze ups" with it ever since Adobe released the new Acrobat DC the other week.  I see that an automatic update was pushed down to my Acrobat XI Pro at the same time.  Is this the first issue you have encountered with your Acrobat XI, or have you been having other issues suddenly as well??  Just wondering ...
