Pages won't open with iCloud setting checked on, iPad or iPhone

This has been a nightmare.  I've posted on another forum and they thought I might find better luck here.
The ongoing discussion is at:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24415785#24415785

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    Turn off iCloud for Pages on your mobile device at Settings > Pages > Use iCloud > Off.
    2.    Open Pages on your computer and move any documents in iCloud to your desktop for safe keeping.
    3.    Navigate to system preferences > iCloud > Manage and check that Pages documents are not taking any space in the cloud, delete them if they are.
    4.    Enable iCloud syncing for Pages on your mobile device and launch the App.
    5.    If Pages now opens properly, start to add back documents from your desktop one at a time (or in small groups if you have many).

  • Master pages won't open with double click

    What am I missing? I've used Indesign for years. Have CS6 now. When I double click on a master page, it won't open. This happens with old documents and with new ones as well.
    Barb

    I realized that I can't open anything with a double click, not just InDesign. In searching for an answer, I found an answer. When I installed a new mouse, I turned the speed on everything to high, fast, super speedy. When I slowed down the double click speed, I could open anything. Whew!
    I solved the problem.  If you go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse and Trackpad -  You can set the speed of the double click to be much slower.

  • New PC with ADE 4 activated with existing adobe ID, all books won't open with Error! Check Activation

    Hi
    I have recently bought a new PC with windows 7 and have installed Adobe Digital Editions v4.0.3
    I authorized the computer using my existing adobe ID, the same one used on my old PC that ran windows XP.
    I cannot seem to open any ebooks (files with the .acsm extension) or add them to the library. I get this unhelpful little error dialog:
    Error! Check Activation.
    I have tried to deactivate the computer (in order to retry activation), but that fails too with the error:
    Unable to Erase Authorization. Please try after some time.
    Please Adobe.... why does nothing work????

    Ok so, I finally managed to remove the failed activation and then I reactivated after which I could read the ebook.
    I used this method here: I can't de authorize my computer. It just keeps saying to try again later.
    to deactivate, and then repeated the activation process.
    Adobe, surely many many people have this problem with a new install, and to have to resort to editing the registry in order to fix it is just madness.
    Why does the activation fail the first time, and why then does deactivation also fail? PLEASE FIX YOUR PRODUCTS.

  • The page won,t open I get the settings were changed by another application message. It keeps appearing to I can't work with the diagnosics

    The page won't open when I click on the firefox icon I go to system preferences for dianostics and "the settings have been changed by another application" I can't close that message to keep on working.

    Are you referring to a wireless router, such as an Airport Express? If so, and you bought a different router, you will need to set up the new router according to their instructions. With my Netgear, I had to go to their online website (they should have the URL listed in the instructions) and set it up there because the software that comes with routers is not compatible with Macs.
    If you're talking about something else, then please let me know - I've just never heard of an Airport modem.

  • Why won't some of my numbers spreadsheets from my iPad open with iCloud on my Mac (Yosemite)?

    Why won't some of my numbers spreadsheets from my iPad open with iCloud on my Mac (Yosemite)? When I look at the files in FiNader there's a grey bar next to the files that won't open.

    I am having the same problem. Created new spreadsheet on iPad with fresh iOS and Numbers installs (3/2015) and am unable to open this spreadsheet in iCloud in Safari on MacBook Air (all current). I get the following message:
    "Sorry, something went wrong.
    This spreadsheet can't be opened right now. Please try again later."
    Tried reopening on Mac from iCloud and resaving; still cannot open.
    Quick fix: Copying the spreadsheet content from the iPad spreadsheet to one created on the desktop recovers the ability to open it in iCloud in Safari.
    Thanks.

  • 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 !!

  • How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?

    How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?
    I have files I made with Pages and exported as PDF but I can't open them with pages to edit?
    Also, where are the recent files created by pages located? Can't find those to open either..

    Hi Tom,
    I was delighted when I signed up for Pages. Clunky yes, but it worked. I've been a graphic designer on a Mac for 25 plus years and have logged too many horror stories of "upgrade" wars which cost me massive lost time, data and money forcibly extracted just so I could finish a project.
    When I first used Pages in April of 2012? or there about, I was able to open Word documents exported to .pdf format, emailed to me, which I then dragged into Pages. I could make the changes I needed to make, export as a .pdf, return it back to my client which they could then edit on whatever it was they were using. I'm not a neophyte with this. I've had Original Photoshop as a stand alone, Quark (which locked users out 6 months after I purchased it.) Quark again, Freehand, Pagemaker, Illustrator, Photoshop again, Creative Suite for several upgrades, Acrobat Pro. 2 years ago I lost 6 years of Quicken data and had to and "upgrade" start over. This last go around I  had to "upgrade" my Apple ID - yes I had 2 on purpose, lost my Pandora One and my ability to get into the Tulsa County Library website.
    At this point, I'm retired and feel like what I've paid for in the past should WORK today. I have a 100+ page cookbook in Quark which I was able to export as a .pdf, that I've lost the tags too, Easier to start over. I have artwork that is hundreds of megs in Photoshop. Not the least bit interested in anybody's "cloud".
    Thanks for letting me vent. I'm determined to keep my equipment and software up to date so I can enjoy the skills I've acquired, but I completely cringe at Apple's antics. I truly hate it when I have to respond to some new "tip" or product offer. BooHiss. Happy Turkey Day. Pages is a "turkey" program.
    Best regards, mbd

  • Pages won't open on ipad 1

    I am trying to access an excel file in my dropbox, but pages won't open on IPad 1. Any ideas? I shut it down, then turned back on. No difference.

    Double tap Home button and delete Pages from multitask-bar.
    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.
    Try again with Pages.
    If no joy, delete Pages and redownload again.

  • So just the document I was last working on in pages won't open. I can't email it either it just sits preparing the document no matter what format I try. I can copy it, but the copies don't open either.

    So just the document I was last working on in pages won't open. I can't email it either it just sits preparing the document no matter what format I try. I can copy it, but the copies don't open either. I tried deleting documents in pages as well as the app and reinstalling it, but nothing has helped.

    Try quitting Pages and then reset your iPad.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
    Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Latest version of Pages won't open documents created in previous version.

    Pages won't open documents created before update.

    I got the same issue, here is what it says now: "My document" can’t be opened."
    iOS Mavericks 10.9.2
    Pages 5.1
    What I did to get this issue:
    - My file was created a month ago in Pages 5.1
    - Today, I opened the file normally
    - I clicked "duplicate" in order to make a back up from the current version
    - The loading wheel kept running for a few minutes...Maybe my cache memory too busy?
    - so, I "forced to quit" Pages
    - I try to open my doc again in Pages 5.1, now it's a failure!!
    - Then i tried to open on another Macbook with Pages 5.1 = Failure
    - I updated Mavericks latest updates = Failure to open my doc
    - Try to open in pages 4.3 = It says: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document..."
    I need a fix asap, it's terribly important to get my document back

  • 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?

  • InDesign files won't open with double click

    InDesign files won't open with double click on my MacPro with Snow Leopard although they do open from external hard drives when I double click.

    Thank you very much,you were correct, it appears the mouse clicks were set too fast. Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to answer my question.

  • 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.

  • My iphone calendar won't sync with icloud

    I just set up iCloud for the first time.  Everything seems to be working however the calendar on my iPhone 3GS (w IOS 5.0.1 update) calendar is not syncing with iCloud.  What am i doing wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    When you say it won't sync with iCloud, do you mean with iCloud.com or iCloud on a mac.
