*** Pages won't open after system re-install

I had to re-install OS X since it was acting funny and after doing a full time machine back up, I can't open Pages or Numbers from iWork '09 anymore. They launch and then immediately crash. I purchased the SN online and don't see where I go to get that number again. I realize I probably need to download iWork '09 again but don't want to buy it twice.
Can anyone help point me to where this SN is? I didn't see it in any email correspondence...
Thanks in advance!

Since you bought it online you can get the serial number from the list of online purchases in your Apple Store account. Go to the Store tab at the top of this page, click Account (small, faint gray word next to the cart icon in the upper right), click on Downloadable Software Purchases & sign in.

    Pages won't open after I downloaded some Apple Updates

    First, we are all just users like yourself so it's not "your" updates. Which updates have you applied & in what order?
    Quite a few users have had problems. From what I've read of those who have had success, this is what I suggest. It all depends on how you obtained Pages in the first place.
    If you bought Pages from the Mac App Store:
    Delete the Pages.app from your Applications folder. You will need to enter your password to do so.
    Launch Mac App Store  & click on Purchases. You should now see an INSTALL button. Click that, enter your password, if necessary, & you should now have the latest version.
    If you installed Pages from a retail box or purchased a license from the downloaded trial:
    First, you must make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. All three applications must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
    Now, choose Software Update from the Apple menu, from System Preferences or launch the Mac App Store & click Updates. You should get a window similar to this screenshot. Now click the Update button next to iWork 9.2.

  • Pages won't open after installing new HD

    I have a 2009 intel iMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8).  After installing a new hard drive, the OS, and all my programs, none of the iWork 09 programs (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) will open.  (All other programs work fine.)  For example, when I click on the Pages icon, it says "Pages could not open because of a problem... Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."  When I click on Report, it says:

  • Pages won"t open after upgrade to Snow

    Should"ve known there were going to be problems...now after installing snow leopard, my pages will not open, my mail will not open, keynote, numbers. ical...a huge number of issues, and now with schol starting I cannot use my computer to do any work.......Any helpful thoughts would be greatly appreciated
    Tom

    Hi Thomas
    The issues most people seem to be having are
    1. Duplication of fonts and some wonky fonts. Check these and fix them in *Font Book.*
    2. That they did not correctly transfer iWork. You can't just simply drag the software over, nor will it work if you had changed the names of the folders they were in. You should have done a full migration or possibly reinstall if you can't get out of the problems.
    3. You need to have upgraded the software to the latest versions.

  • IPhoto won't open after Archive and Install

    Recently, my macbook won't boot up so I had to perform and Archive and Install. Now iPhoto won't open and therefore, I have no access to iPhoto Library. Does anyone know why this is happening? I don't have iLife '08 with me and my restore CDs would have the previous version of iPhoto on it. Would it be impossible to revert to an older version of iPhoto? If I delete the Previous Systems folder, will it affect this problem more (as I have only 5 gb of free space)? (Btw, I am update to date on Tiger updates)
    Thanks,
    munky11
    Message was edited by: munky11

    My guess is that there is part of the iLife install in the Previous System Folder and you're going to need to re-install iLife 08.
    Yes you can re-install v6 (or whatever is on your System Restore disks) but v6 will not open an iPhoto 08 library. You would need to create a new v6 library and that would entail losing all your edited versions, albums, books, keywords etc.

  • Itunes won't open after 10.6 install

    I can no longer open itunes after a fresh install of 10.6 and a migration of settings/files from a back-up.
    Now when I open itunes I get:
    "The itunes library file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file."
    My itunes library is on an external HD. I've repaired permissions and removed the itunes preference file, still no luck.
    Any help would be great.

    I don't pay any attention to updates, but last week my entire itunes library vaporized. I used my back-up disks to get my stuff back, but all the playlists are empty and itunes is crashing constantly. Just trying to click on another song or playlist causes it to "spin" and I end up force quitting. Oddly enough if I use my remote control it works better than from the desktop.
    I'm really disappointed with this whole thing, as I had never had problems with my macs like this. And someone mentioned antivirus software. Should I have that on my macs???

  • Itunes won't open after system restore!

    Recently I ran into some problems with my computer and did a system restore, ever since I did that itunes would not open and kept saying "itunes has encountered an error, application is shutting down" after I double clicked the icon on my desktop. This was also the case with Windows Media Player and every other application on my PC.
    I set my PC away to be re-formatted. It turns out there were 17 viruses on there, it's now working fine except I can't open itunes!!
    I've tried uninstalling it and re-installing it. It all goes fine until the very last second of installing when I get the "itunes has encountered an error, application is shutting down" message. The shortcut appears on my desktop though and when I double-click it I get the very same error message!
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I've spent £150 on sorting my computer out and this is the final straw! I'm tearing my hair out!!

    iFOUND the Solution!!!
    Go to Add/Remove Programs under Control Panel and for every program that is Apple - iTunes - Quicktime related RIGHT click on it and choose "Repair" and repair it. May take some time for each program.
    Then, I got an error message saying:
    "the file "itunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes."
    Here, from the Start Menu, search "Apple Software Update" and update every program it says needs updating. I recently this week updated Quicktime to its latest version, but did so anyway. So I updated Quicktime and iTunes...restarted computer...and it worked.
    That's how you do it. iTunes 10.5 works fine now. Hope it does equally well for you.

  • IMovie won't open after iLife 08 install

    I just recently purchased iLife 08 and installed it on my computer. iMovie was working fine before, but now I just get a message that says that it quit unexpectedly. It won't even open. When I clicked on report it said EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) along with a bunch of other stuff. Am I doing something wrong or do I have a bad copy. I have tried installing it 3 times, but same thing each time.
    Thanks

  • ITunes won't launch after system re-install?

    I had to reinstall Snow Leopard after my finder disappeared (I'm assuming some corruption to finder but who knows).  Anyhow, I've spent all day re-installing Snow Leopard and bringing it back up to 10.6.6.  Many of my third party apps needed to be re-installed as did major apps like FM Pro 11.  But the Apple app. that won't launch is iTunes 10.4.1.  Anybody with any thoughts on why this is happening and how I can resolve it?  Thank you.

    I re-verified permissions, shut down and removed all power (inc battery)- restarted and itunes started when launched from doc. I don't know what the difference was, but it seems to be working.

  • Desktop files etc. won't open after botched software install

    Dear New Best Friends:
    (a) My new mac mini is just up and running since yesterday. I'm not new to Mac but AM new to setting up, installing, etc., and to being the one responsible. (My brother-in-law used to do everything for me, but he moved, the heartless you-know-what.) Anyway,after a few false starts, a "mini" nervous breakdown and one complete reinstall, things were humming. I was so happy with the Mini -- and, I admit it, with myself. But pride goeth before a (downloading) fall...
    (b) Since I successfully installed an old copy of MS Office 2001 (after installing OS 9), I decided I could be trusted to install a old copy of Photoshop 5.0 (used previously on my G3/OS 9.2). The disc icon appeared on the desktop, but nothing happened when I clicked it. So, freaking idiot that I am, I remembered recently reading about the "drag to the hard-drive" Mac method of installation...
    (c) I dragged it, alright, and it disappeared into that cute little hard-drive icon... and, just like that, i-life as I knew it was over. (Remember when Kevin Bacon flips that fateful switch on board Apollo 13? Everything had been going so well...) Now, none of the desktop icons -- the hard-drive, the printer, various Word files and folders -- will open. (They highlight with one click but don't do anything with 2 clicks.) I can't seem to get into them any other way, either, but again, I'm new to OS X, and to being the one in charge. SO, I have no access to MS Office, or to my Word documents or to numerous folders of art and photos.
    (d) I've searched as best I know how through these Discussions for a similar problem but have had no luck. I've never posted to a forum in my life, but I've admired you all from afar. (I figured out what display to buy from reading here.) I hope I am posting this right; I don't really know how this topic/thread stuff works. (Be gentle on me -- and educate me --if I'm in the wrong place.)
    And finally, MY QUESTION: Can my downloading error be reversed?
    Thanks so much in advance (you deserve much more just for reading this). Peace and love!

    It's happened again. Desktop icon freeze.
    Add to that frustration the fact that I just described the chain of events in long detail, and when I posted it earlier this morning, I got an Apple Discussions alert that they're, oh, doing some housework or something, and anyway, the posting got lost and only my computer info was transmitted (which was no longer accurate, because I did NOT reinstall Classic OS 9 after performing a complete erase and install Sunday.....)
    So let me start over, outliningg this depressing chain of events:
    After successful OS X reinstall mentioned in previous post, I:
    --Re-installed AOL, setting aol preferences
    --Responded to iTunes prompt to download newest version; downloaded and left icon on desktop for later install
    --Did first Apple Software Update check (remember, have only had this Mini a few days); it told me I needed about ten or eleven updates. I selected eight of them, notably OS X. Figured that getting the latest stuff would, you know, eliminate the glitch that caused first meltdown. Ha. (Downloading of the 8 selected updates took --get ready-- eleven hours and 49 minutes; I use AOL dial-up. In those hours, my internet loading was very slow on both aol and safari, but I figured that was because of downloading going on.)
    --Opened desktop Hard Drive icon numerous times throughout day to set preferences, look around apps, and read cute little tutorials about how fun it is to use the Mini .
    --Created first Text document; placed icon on desktop.
    --Twelve-hour download extravaganza finally ended. Expected to have to install stuff, but I gather it does that automatically in these Apple software updates?
    --Noticed that even though downloading was complete, internet loading was still slow; hmmmm; figured AOL was having one of its numerous bad days.
    --Double-clicked the iTunes installer desktop icon mentioned above, and installed the newest version.
    --May have re-calibrated my display afterwards, or may have been just before. (It's a new Dell 1704 FPT, if that makes any difference. Maybe Michael Dell is sabotaging Steve J.)
    --Put Mini to sleep; he and I had had a hard couple of days...
    --Put myself to sleep; dreamed of Fun Mini Days Just Ahead.
    --Woke up this morning like it was Christmas, excited to begin new and improved life with Mini. Woke Mini. Double-clicked Hard Drive icon. NOTHING. Double-clicked Text icon. Nothing. Same problem. Different day. (Only this time, it IS a weekday, per previous posts...)
    --Got online, went to Discussions, read AndyO's recommendation about Finder, File, find p.list, trash it, etc. Did so.
    --Double-clicked Text document icon. IT OPENED. Wow! Wanted to buy AndyO a NanO.
    --Double-clicked Hard Drive icon. NOTHING. Gulp.
    --Closed Text document. Double-clicked Hard Drive icon again. Nothing.
    --Double-clicked Text icon. This time, Nothing.
    --Re-performed p.list steps. Didn't work this time.....
    Please note major differences between this freeze and the last:
    (1) Classic OS 9 wasn't installed this time. (So neither was MS Office 2001, of course, nor any old software.)
    (2) Updated ("improved"!) OS X is running, along with updated QuickTime and other Apple-recommended updates.
    (3) New version of iTunes is installed.
    But in spite of these differences, the problem's effect is the same.
    One of AndyO's messages (2.1.1.1?) said something to the effect that if I encounter such problems again there are troubleshooting steps I can take to identify the specific cause and resolve it.
    Please, dear readers, what are those steps? I am discouraged, and not just a little worried.

  • My apps won't open after system restore.

    So I had some flash problems with my computer. the logical decision (after tinkering around on chrome, firefox, etc. and having nothing worked) i did a system restore to a few days back. nothing really changed, one app was removed. but when it finished,
    I was in for a huge surprise. None of my apps, except firefox worked. Not chrome, not my calendar for windows 10, not my x-box music player  thing from windows 10, not even the start button responded. I re-dowloaded chrome, so that's working. How can
    i get the rest to work?

    Hi Alsbadals,
    For Windows Store Apps, you can run this following command in PowerShell to re-registry them:
    Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

  • When I enter my user name and password for my e-mail account, the page won't open

    My e-mail account page won't open after I enter my user name and password on the log-in page. I have vcrified with Suddenlink that my user name and password are correct.

    Thanks Peter.
    Partial success in that I have been able to get mails onto the iPad  - however....
    Progress from a previous 'rumage' on problem discussions.    I have succeded in setting up the iPad so that it receives emails from the sky address under 'MAIL' on the iPad.    However trying to open in the 'usual' way   -  safari - then sky  -  then email  -  enter user name and password  -  I get the same result  -  it just returns to the log in menu for sky email with user name and password blank. 
    I had a previous problem with the sky mail ceasing to show recent mails, frozen in time on the iPad.   Somehow by trying some reset instructions I was able to 'unlock' the iPad and all was OK until it 'froze' again.    This time I clearly screwed up attempts to unlock, resulting in not being able to access email accounts via the Sky site !!
