Pdf pages won't open

I took MacWorld's advice and downloaded Schubert's pdf browser plug-in. I followed the directions exactly, but then i couldn't open pdf pages in either Safari or Explorer. I then took the pdf browser plug-in out of Library/Internet Plug-in folder. Now I can open pdf files in Safari, but Explorer still gives a message:"Explorer doesn't know how to open this file". Any suggestions?

Jeffry,
Based on your requests, you're in the "File Helpers" section (under Receiving Files). Instead go under "Network Protocol" >> "Protocol Helpers". Then you can just select an application or plugin.
Note, that Adobe Acrobat 7 is optimized for Safari; but AFIK, it is not for IE.
As I was going through the motions to see what you might see, IE would not let me select either Acrobat reader 6 or 7. But I could select Acrobat 5 from my OS 9 apps. Nevertheless, Preview opened it anyway-- lol. But at least IE now has an app to open it. You might try selecting Schubert's app, when asked. Or follow my steps and let Preview open it.
The drop down menu you are speaking of, is when IE doesn't know how to deliver the requested MIME type, and it shows you the "Library/Plugins"; is that correct? (It was the same for me.) What IE shows you is your {USERNAME}/Library/Plugins; but what you want to locate is your Mac HD/Library/Plugins -- which is where all of your internet plugins should be, unless you're on a multi-user computer in an office, where it may be desirable to keep separate plugin libraries.
I hope that answers your second question.

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

Pdf sent won't open beyond cover sheet? how to allow click thru of all files?

pdf sent won't open beyond cover sheet? how to allow click thru of all files?

That's handy, because I can run gmail and Chrome too.
Ok, I sent myself a PDF attachment. I'm going to go step by step through what happened
to me, and you can tell me where your experience becomes different.
1. The email shows a preview of the top part of page 1 for the attachment.
2. I hover over the preview and I get two icons, "Download" and "Save to drive".
3. I click Download.
4. The attachment downloads and I see it in the status bar.
5. I click on the document in the status bar. It opens to page 1, but I can use the
scroll bar to read all of the pages.
6. I hover in the bottom right of the page, until Chrome's PDF toolbar appears.
7. I click the save icon.
8. I save the file to my desktop.
9. I open the file from my desktop. It also has all pages.

Please elaborate on what exactly you mean by it "won't open".
Do you try to launch it and get an error message from the Finder (for example, something like "This application is damaged and cannot be launched....")? Does an icon for the application ever appear in the Dock when you try to launch it? Does it start to launch and then immediately crashes (Finder will display an "unexpectedly quit" dialog)? Or does it start to launch and never seems to "finish" launching (in other words, it basically hangs and is unresponsive)?
If the application crashes, please post the contents of the crash log here.
Otherwise, if the application seems to be hanging, can you, before attempting to launch it, open the Console.app application (it's in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder), and see if anything is reported when you attempt to launch it? If so, please post it here.

Pdf files won't open in Safari running on a Mac

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard in preparation for Lion and ever since the upgrade, pdf files won't open in Safari. I have Reader 9.4.5. It opens documents that are on my machine, it just won't open in Safari, nor do the documents download.

MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.
See this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3252667?start=0&tstart=0 for further solutions.

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.

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.

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

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 !!

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?

PDF file won't open after saving it from the web. get error message file is damaged.

My PDF files won't open after saving them to Docs from the web. I get error message file is damaged. Can someone help me correct this problem on Mac Air w Mountain Lion?

I wonder if the image is being embedded somehow and there is not enough scratch disk space to render the file. Just a hunch. Check your hardrive to see how much free space is available. Also, check your RAM and see if you can upgrade ( install more, install much more ) to max out as much RAM as possible. At a minimum, check for fragmentation and do a "Correct Permissions" via Apple's Disk Utility.
But, weird things start happening when a font becomes corrupt. Not that one is, but it may be in your best interest to acquire a font management utility like Font Agent PRO ( if you don't have one already ). A good font management program can detect and disable corrupt fonts.
CS1 and OSX10.4 should be fairly compatable with the 7500, but you may have gone as far as you can go. Think about upgrading to a G4 or a G5. I believe the 7500 was pre G3 ( which I think is the minimum requirements for CS1 ).
