Pages won't let me move my document out of the cloud

The instructions for moving a Pages document out of the cloud is to go to the menue at the top of the screen, choose. "File>Move to". BUT... Move To is not a highlighted option. I cannot choose it. What is wrong?

You have to open a document before the Move To option is available.

PLease help: pages won't let me save a document

My problem: I type a text, hit 'save as' , name the file and trouble starts:
A window pops up saying it is a locked document or file in use. Of course after
checking it, none of it is the case, well, theoretical yeah the file is in use as I want to save it (!!!)
Does anybody know if SL has an issue with the application of pages ?
I thought there would only be an issue with apple works in that respect.
I'm not a computer person but appreciate any help with this. I tried to save anything but it won't let me save a document at all...the same window pops up.

It might be better to post over at the Pages forum.

Have you purchased or registered iWork?
If not your trial period of 30 days may have expired.

1. Upgrade your system to OSX 10.6.2 using the Combo downloaded updater ( not the Software Updater version):

Pages won't let me open a document, says "unable to open document"

Pages for my iPad 2 is preventing me from opening one specific file. I reaaally need that file back but I can't open it or transfer it anyway. Every time I click on it it says "unable to open document." Pleaaaase help!

Hey mate, do you already have iCloud enabled? If not, then do as RickHanson-Sacto mentioned about and see how you go,
If iCloud was already enabled, then you've possibly run into the same issue I just had. I opened up Pages & Numbers on my iPad, and all the icons were black. Clicking on any of them gave me the 'Document can't be opened' message. If I signed into iCloud.com, I wasn't able to download the documents either.
After a lot of messing around, it seems like it was something to do with file conflicts, and maybe they caused problems when I updated to iOS 5.1 or the new Pages/Numbers App updates? I don't know, but somewhere along the line, the file conflicts were blocking all documents from being accessed.
The way I fixed it was to fire up Pages & Numbers on my iPhone. It showed me my documents, but when I clicked on them, they told me there were conflicts in the files, and presented me with two options, one a black icon, the other a normal document icon. I clicked on the normal one, and the document seemed to open and load. Additionally, with Numbers at least, the files all updated on the iPad too, and all the documents could now be downloaded via iCloud.com. I had an issue with Pages on the iPad, in that it wasn't updating the documents as I was fixing them on the iPhone, so I simply uninstalled Pages on the iPad, and then re-installed. Once iCloud was enabled, all the documents loaded up properly.
I really can't say if this is the same issue you are experiencing, but I figured I'd mention it.. just in case!!
And another tip.. until iCloud gets fixed-up good 'n proper, for your own piece of mind, whenever you edit a document in Pages/Numbers/Keynote, just before you finish-up, hit the 'wrench' icon, choose the 'Share and Print' option, and then click 'Save to iTunes'. Choose the first file type, and it'll save a copy in a different location on your iPad. That way, if a file gets corrupted by Pages or deleted/corrupted by iCloud, you can simply click the + button on the Documents page, and select 'Copy from iTunes'. This will show you all the documents you saved. They also show up in iTunes should you want to pull them off the iPad quickly.
Sorry if this is no use to you, I hope you manage to get something back!

Pages Won't Let Me Open a Document?

Hello~
I've been working on a document (on pages 08) for a while... and a couple months ago, i tried to open it, and a window popped up that said "the document '________________' could not be opened"
i tried many different ways to try and open it, and i got the same message over and over, so i gave up and started over with a really rough copy i had on google docs..
but just now, i went to try and open the second document, and i got the same message.
Whats going on, and is there any way to retrieve the documents and prevent it from happening again?
Thanks...

Try to open the doc from an alternate user account and let us know what you got.
Check also the version num of the running Pages application.
If itsn't 3.0.3, you must update iWork.

For some reason pages won't let me save a document from using a template?

the save button doesnt even show only save as. does anyone know how to solve this please?

What save button are we talking about? There is none.
A template is always Save As… otherwise you would overwrite the template.
A template is a template, it is the start of another document but set up as a good starting point.

Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?

You must be signed into the Apple Store with your Apple ID or it won't work.

The nano won't let me move ahead or backwards listening to a lecture. It only will go to the start point. How can I move along gradually, forwards or backwards?

You'll want to read about the playback controls on page 21 of your iPod's User Guide, specifically the fast forward and rewind controls.

You can run the 10.8.5 combo and 10.8.5 supplemental installers, instead of going through the frequently wonky App Store:
OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo)
OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 Supplemental Update

Macbook Pro won't let me move files to HD without authentication. Also when I try to move files from the HD to the desk it just copies them.

My 2013 Macbook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.5 won't let me move files to the HD without authentication. So I have to keep putting my password in. Also when I try to move files from the HD to the desk it just copies them. This just suddenly happened last night. Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Thanks

See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229?viewlocale=en_US - I doubt that it will solve your problem, though. You may want to post on the iPhoto forum - that's where all of the iPhoto experts hang out.
Good luck,

Mac won't let me move files into a folder bc it THINKS there are duplicate files - but they're not

Mac won't let me move files into a folder bc it THINKS there are duplicate files - but they're not. There are hundreds of what it thinks are duplicates. How can I get it to let me put them all into a folder and create unique names? If I do one file at a time, it gives me the option to keep both files. But not when I am moving hundreds at a time.

A reply to an old problem, but I couldn't find this solution anywhere. I had the same problem when I moved my iTunes library to an external drive. As Apple recommends, I used File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to copy my music files from my overstuffed hard drive to the external drive. Copying went fine for a while, adding about two-thirds of my files to the new drive without incident. Then I got the big stop sign with the error message: "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
This turned out to have nothing to do with either the hard drive or the external disk. I had a bad file in my music library that was shutting down the consolidation process. Unfortunately the error message says nothing about which file may be the culprit. All I could think to do was to go back to my original library in iTunes and sort by Artist, select all cuts with artists beginning with A, right click and select "Consolidate Files". Then do the same with B artists, etc. Proceeding this way, files resumed copying but when I got to the "S" selections, the consolidate process failed again. Then I selected smaller and smaller batches until the problem file was identified. Removed it from my library and then Consolidate worked fine through the rest of the library. Problem solved.
I spent several days working through this; hope I can save someone else the time.

How do I uninstall an application. It won't let me move it to trash as it says it's open. How do i close it

How do I uninstall an application that I downloaded by mistake? It won't let me move it to trash as it says it's open. How do I close it?

Launch the Activity Monitor in /Utilities and sort by name. Select any that refer to the app (shame you didn't indicate what it was), click on the Quit Process button, and click on Force Quit. When all are gone, empty the trash.

Pages won't allow me to save document, can't gain permission to documetns

Pages won't allow me to save documents, as it claims I don't have permission to access Documents or any other folder I try save anything in. I have gone to file info, made sure documents and all other folders are unlocked, and on the file I have permissions to read and write. Yet despite this, Pages keeps insisting I don't have permission. What can I do?

I have also tried the Disk utility repair function but that did nothing.
