Pages won't open and same with all the previous documents. How do I fix this?

When I went to click on Pages in the dock it created a barely visible circle around it and wouldn't open. I took it off the dock and afterwards could not get it back on. None of the documents will open and they all claim that it could not be opened because the file isn't in the correct format. I'm not sure what to do to get it to work. Any suggestions?

KR,
Exit all Apps and Restart Computer.
With only Pages app running, if still Pages still won't work, Create a new User Account and see if the new account has the same problem.
If new account works ok, problem is most likely in .plist user files of the original account. If that's the case, we'll help you locate and delete them.
Also, Using Disk Utility, check HD and Repair Permissions. Try again.
Now, if things still don't work, it's time to consider a reinstall.

Hi there dworthen,
It sounds like you are experiencing issues when trying to rotate your display. I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

Hi,
The quickest way to do this (tested with OS 10.8.2, MS Word 2011) is in one line:
tell application "Microsoft Word" to close every document whose name begins with "book"
The reason why your script doesn't work is that you aren't specifying to Word which document you want it to close.
So, changing one line ought to do it:
close document incrementvalue -- instead of "close document"
But... when you close a document, you change the document count. Document 2 becomes document 1, document 3 becomes document 2 etc. So eventually you'd get a message saying "The object you are trying to access doesn't exist".
Because of this, if you want to do it in a repeat loop, you have to work backwards:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
set doc_count to count documents
repeat with x from doc_count to 1 by -1
if name of document x begins with "book" then close document x
end repeat
end tell
Hope this helps.

New Computer- XP to windows 7 and I transfered my music with an external hard drive and will not locate the music. How do I fix this?

I just copied all my itunes mucis folders onto my external hard drive and copied them over to my new windows 7 computer and I itune cannot "locate" the music. How do I fix this?

I suspect your library has been transformed from the old layout into the new one. See make a split library portable for details. The empty but for artwork folders you're seeing are likely to contain orphaned artwork and .ini files generated at some point by Windows Media Player. iTunes doesn't move these when it shuffles things around. Once you've made sure you can move the artist folders sideways or down into another folder, make sure nothing else has been affected, then remove.

HT203697 My mac mini (late 2012) won't fully shut down, this happens all the time. How do i fix this?

My Mac Mini won't fully shut down. How do I fix this?

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

My purchased songs won't play all the way through. how can i fix this?

I purchased a few albums from itunes and now when i play them, they cut off a minute into the song. Can anyone tell me why and how i can fix this problem?

Solved (copy and pasted from my post) For others having this problem, delete the songs you have just purchased from itunes. Then, go to the store and in quick links click on "Purchased". Then find on the top right "Songs not on this computer" (or something similar) and you will find them for download. It's best to download them one at a time and wait for one to complete before moving on to the next one.

Battery does not charge all the way . How do I fix this?

My battery will not charge overnight. I've had it to the Apple Store and they worked on it for a couple of hours, backing up data and then resetting the iPad. This seemed to help for a couple of days, but then it started doing the same thing. It's still under the extended warranty, but when I call in, tech support tells me that they can see that the battery is fine. How do I fix this?

Hello karen1944,
I think in this situation based off the previous troubleshooting that we need to start isolating the issue to either hardware or software. What I recommend doing is restoring the iPad as a new device, and NOT restoring your backed up data to it for a while. This article named iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 shows how to do that. Start at step 2, and make a current backup of your device to iTunes.
2. Back up
Back up your device before you erase it. Review the steps below, depending on your backup method, to ensure that you have a recent backup in case you decide to restore your device from a backup
iTunes
iTunes backs up your device automatically when you sync. If you have previous backups of your device in iTunes when you select Set Up As New, a sync occurs. This sync creates a new backup indicating the time the device was backed up.
To back up your device:
In iTunes, check Preferences > Devices to check the date and time of your latest backup.
If you do not have a recent backup, create one by right-clicking the device in the source list and choosing Back Up.
For more information on backing up your device, see iOS: How to back up. If you wish to copy your backup to another folder, disk, or location for safekeeping, see this article in the section titled "Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer." For more information about what iTunes backs up, see this article.
That way you can monitor the device and see if the issue re appears or not. If it does not re appear within a few days, then you should restore your data from the iTunes backup using that same article, at the bottom there is a section about restoring from an iTunes backup:
To restore your device using a previous backup
iTunes
To restore your device using a previous backup, connect your device to iTunes. When your device appears in the source list, right-click your device and click "Restore from backup…". iTunes will ask you to choose the desired backup from the list provided.
All the best,
Sterling

TS1717 itunes store won't open to matter what I do! HELP how do I fix this?

Ever since I got a new computer with windows 7 my itunes store would not open, so I couldn't buy anything and more importantly I couldn't get updates.
It claimed there was something wrong with my internet connection, but there's nothing wrong with the wifi connection.
a blank screen with 'itunes store' on it is all I get when I try to get to the itunes store.
It hasn't updated with ANY of the ios updates for my phone hasn't been updated in over a year.
I reset my phone a few nights ago to get rid of old photos and videos so I could just get new ones instead of manually going and deleteing them all, but now it won't connect to my itunes. So I can't sync it and get my phone back to use.
It's just show a blank screen that says 'iphone'. I don't know why it won't connect or is rejecting our wifi signal or whatever crap is preventing it from loading properly if at all.
I have tried running it in safe mode, making a new account, turning off the firewall, uninstalling then reinstalling itunes, getting another drive,
going command prompt and typing in one thing (says it worked, but itunes still wouldn't open) and another thing (again still wouldn't open/load itunes store at all)
and several more things, if I click itunes store the bar will say "accessing itunes store" but not matter how long I wait or how many times I try it never accesses or opens or loads the store.
I use my phone a lot, for working and personal family whatnots, and daily tasks, but since itunes store won't connect and it can't get any connection my phone is unusable, the only thing I can do with it is call emergency numbers.
what am I supposed to do?

a blank screen with 'itunes store' on it is all I get when I try to get to the itunes store.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

My home button only works occasionally when the iPod is llocked, and not at all when unlocked. How can I fix this?

I just got this iPod 36 hours ago, and it is already broken. I'm really frustrated because this is the fifth time a replacement device has broken right out of the box, and I have to reboot to switch between apps. once i get in an app, I'm stuck there. I think it's a software issue, because the home button works inconsistently when the device is locked. Please help ASAP!

Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears (Nothing will be lost, this is just a "Hard Reset")
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!

On my Yahoo emails and certain websites I get an error message. I download and install Flash Player and I still get the error. How can I fix this? It's very annoying because I have to use IE instead.

When I use IE I don't have this problem. It's only with Firefox.

Update your Flash Player which is way out of date, even your newer one won't work well with Firefox and many security updates have occurred since..
* http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
The current Flash is Shockwave Flash 10.3.181.26 You have both Shockwave Flash 7.0 r19 and 10.0 r45 -- you will probably have to uninstall the 7.0 version through the control panel, do that first. Use the Adobe page to update as you are less likely to get crapware install suggestions from that page.
Afterwards run a plug-in update type in about:plugins into location bar and hit enter at the top of the list is a link for for plugins test which you should check out<br>
http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/
When installing updates, watch out for crapware installs, the checking and the updates are supplied by the plugin makers -- not by Mozilla.

You are on Windows 7, which means you've got decent hardware and software, you should be on Firefox 4. www.mozilla.com to get the latest version.
Next week Firefox 5 comes out, your toolbar changes changes to Fx4 will still work in Fx5. Then ...
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic

If you install "Adblock Plus" extension with a filter subscription such as "EasyList US" which you can subscribe to from the extensions options options once installed. That will eliminate many flash ads, and help somewhat with news sites which have a lot of Flash pages but possibly only the ads start automatically.

My add-on bar is beneath my Windows Taskbar, making it impossible to get to and hiding part of the webpage. How do I fix this?

I also can't see the bar that comes up when I use ctrl+f.

Hi,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
