Pages won't open at all! Help!!

For a while, I was getting the same message as everybody--that Pages 5 wouldn't open my documents.
Now it's worse: I can't open ANY documents, and I get a pop-up window saying "The application Pages cannot be opened. -1712."
What does this mean? What can I do? Please help! I've just reached a level of despair that has let me to order Word, which I loathe...but meanwhile I need to get to my docs! If I uninstall and reinstall, will I lose anything?

You should have Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder.
This comes under the category, "Nobody told me!"

  • Itunes opened only once, now won't open at all HELP

    just bought an ipod 30g video, shuffle and installed itunes as per directions. had trouble from the get go. managed to open once, put some songs on ipods, shut down and haven't been able to open since. NO ERROR MESSAGES. help please....

    some preliminary questions (i'm checking on the two most common causes of error message free launch failures).
    do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
    or are you seeing a brief "flash" of the itunes license screen (and then nothing)? if so, do you also see similar behavior when you try to launch your QuickTime?

  • IPhoto won't open at all! Help!

    I wonder if this has anything to do with the latest OSX and QT updates? I don't know, but the thing is iPhoto all of a sudden won't open at all. The icon bounces only once and then nothing happens, HELP PANIC!
    Very gratefull for any ideas, Magnus

    iPhoto is missing bits of itself and you need to reinstall it.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Pages won't open after I downloaded some of your updates. HELP

    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.
    Alternatively, you can download the standalone update here. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563

  • ITunes won't open  at all... only error messages

    hey guys,
    no idea what's going on with my iTunes its really annoying though here's the scoop i got a lot of bad crap on my comp. so i had it formatted by a guy at work came home installed itunes opened it up it worked great all the sudden it closes itself and now it won't open at all i've redownloaded it at least ten times... nothing works... soon as i click on the iTunes icon it says iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close i sent the error report and it said Apple had a solution to my problem.. but after hours of searching i have found nothing so i'm just going to post this up hoping someone knows whats up (um just for some info i went to my add/remove hardware and quicktime wasn't in there... that's not right i think someone let me know lol)
    any help would be much appreciated really wanting to update my new songs on my iPod

    No thats not right, iTUnes uses parts of quicktime to play audio and video. You need to go here and download the stand alone version of quicktime. Now apple has recently changed this page to include quicktime with iTUnes and then qwuicktime only. get the one WITHOUT iTUnes,

  • My games app in ipod touch version 4.2.1 (8C148) won't open at all!

    I have my ipod touch version 4.2.1(8C148). At first, I wanted to save more music in my ipod touch so I installed the latest version of itunes(10.6.1.7). I followed the rules on how to save music from forums in the internet. I made a playlist on itunes, and from my Music file I dragged my mp3's on my itune's playlist. I plugged my ipod touch and it appearred on the left side as Device. And from my playlist, I selected all and dragged them into my ipod touch.. and then click Sync below. (example: http://www.technipages.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/iTunes-Sync-button.png). After that, I also saved videos. The same procedures I did like on how to save musics. After Syncing all... when i opened a game app, it won't open. All of the game applications won't open! I don't know why. Help me!:)

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
    The maximum iOS version for the second generation iPod touch and the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1.
    The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
    The maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS is 6.1.6.
    If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

  • TS1702 Pages won't open!

    Pages won't open, downloaded from a friends iTunes account, worked until synced with computer, now won't open, help!!!

    No the files will not transfer, if you download the app. I'm guessing that the files might be gone anyway now if the app will not work, but I'm not sure of that.
    What I'm wondering about is how the app worked at all unless you were signed into your friend's account on your iPad. Is that how you were using the app?

  • Installed iWork '09 on MacBook running OSX 10.7.2 and Pages won't open .doc files. Why?

    I just recently installed iWork '09 on MacBook running OSX 10.7.2 and Pages won't open .doc files.
    I did a search looking for a solution in the forums and here are the actions I've taken:
    1) Made sure the files were't read/write protected.
    2) Restarted the computer.
    3) Made sure all the program files were in the correct folder.
    4) Reinstalled the program.
    Pages won't read .doc files that were originally Pages files and exported as .docs
    It also won't read .doc files that were created using a relatively recent version of Office.
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
    Please help.

    If it's a doc created with the late Office 2011, it's not really surprising.
    The importer embedded in iWork application was delivered in january 2009 and didn't evolve.
    For this reason, it's unaware of new features delivered with Office 2011.
    Better try with LibreOffice.

  • Certain pages won't open

    For the past 2 days facebook and other pages won't open on safari. I have tried software updates, clearing history and trash. I am not sure what else to try, this is the first problem I've encountered with Mac ( I converted in June). I also need to mention that all of the pages that will not open on my computer will open on my boyfriend's pc.

    No changes whatsoever (updates, apps, etc...). The only difference is that 2 days ago I came home from a 2 wk visit with my parents. While there, my mac was working fine opening all websites. Before my visit my mac worked fine at home, too. I am very baffled. I have now cleared my cache as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Safari won't open at all

    When I try to open Safari the icon just bounces a few times and the rainbow wheel spins for a bit and then nothing happens.
    Safari doesn't open, the icon stops bouncing and everything just goes back to as if I never clicked on the icon to open Safari. I don't know what is going on. Safari has always worked fine and this just started sometime yesterday out of the blue.
    I've read some of the other posts and I tried to open Safari via a different user account and that did not work. I did the cache/library suggestions from my user home and that didn't work. I also did the 4.2.2.2 suggestion in the DNS Server and that didn't work either. Safari just won't open at all. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried to repair the permissions? This is usually the first thing I do when something is not working right. If you recently installed a new application, sometimes the permissions can get messed up for other applications. Run Disk Utility which is in your Utilities folder to do this. You can find out more at http://www.learntomac.com/index.php/2006/10/15/repairing-permissions/
    Hopefully this will work for you!
