Please Help! My Pages, Keynote & Numbers won't open

Updated Keynote (6.2.2) , Pages (5.2.2) & Numbers (3.2.2) August 25th
Updated to Mavericks 10.9.4 September 10th.
K, P & N would not open before or after system upgrade. When I open the app, it takes me to my Documents folder. I can't even download them again because they say installed. If I deleted them, can I re-add K, P & N for free? They came with my computer.

Hey Jen127,
Thanks for the question. When you open Pages, Keynote or Numbers, an “Open” dialog appears. This dialog allows you to choose to open a document (defaults to showing your Documents folder) or open a file from iCloud. In the bottom left corner there is also a “New Document” button:

Thanks,

  • Pages and Numbers won't open existing documents.. Any clues?

    Hello!
    I noticed yesterday that Pages and Numbers won't open existing documents.
    I've tried to reinstall software, but no luck.
    I've done no changes to my system, other than installing updates that have been made available.
    I run iWork '09 on a MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2010, with OSX 10.7.3.
    I can view the documents in preview, but I really need them to work as they are work-related.
    What to do?

    Look at the threads to the right. One of them is this https://discussions.apple.com/message/13147694#13147694 and it might help you

  • Apple iWorks - Pages/Keynote/Numbers - can I open these in MS Office?

    Hi all
    can someone please be so kind and let me know if there is a possibility to save Pages/Keynote/Numbers documents in a format thatI can open in MS Office and vice versa?
    Thank-you
    Magz

    The response is yes but it would be more logical to ask this question in one of the iWork's dedicated forum.

  • Pages and numbers won't open

    whenever i try to use pages or numbers nothing happens, i can't get them to open.

    There are new versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote -- you probably need to upgrade them first? Let me know whether this works, I didn't upgrade to Yosemite yet, and I won't if Keynote doesn't work...

  • Numbers won't open but pages and keynote will

    Hi,
    I brought iWork as a download (serial number sent by email which I have misplaced!) and was working fine until about 1 month ago. I can still use Pages and Keynote fine, but Numbers won't open. I click the icon on my dock but it just comes up with a transparent ? over the icon instead of opening.
    Anything I can do?

    download iWork 9.05 and it will make your Keynotes happy again.
    For some reason it is not included in the "update software"
    (1) are you sure that Software Update is supposed to deliver iWork's updates ? I'm not
    (2) the OP's problem is not related to Keynote (with no S) which behave flawlessly (as well as Pages) on his machine but it's a Numbers one. It's logical as he asked in a Numbers dedicated forum.
    So, I'm afraid that what was useful for you would be useless for him.

  • Please help!  My IPod touch won't recognize the digits I enter for my password and won't put a "dot" in the password squares.  It also speaks the numbers I enter, very, very fast!

  • Latest Keynote update won't open file. Says I need Keynote update! Why?

    I'm working on an urgent Keynote presentation for work (yes, on Sat night!) from my boss's MacBook at home ... or, rather, I'm trying to. Keynote just won't open the Keynote file I created yesterday on a different MacBook (reading from USB key). It says I need the newer version of Keynote in order to open this file. I checked ... the version installed was the latest version, but just for good measure, I've just re-installed the update from the Apple site (with boss's permission, lol). No joy ... still returning the same error message. Insists the file version is newer than the version of Keynote I'm running.
    Help, anyone?

    You are alternating between the two versions of Pages:
    Pages 5 and Pages '09.
    Pages '09 can not open Pages 5, and Pages 5 alters/damages Pages '09 files.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.

    Then the next step would be to restore your phone.  My advice is that prior to restoring you import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or to a supported program on your computer using iTunes) as a number of users report losing these when restoring their device.

  • Please help with page numbering!

    Right, so I'm writing my thesis and need to insert different types of page numbering (note: I'm using Pages '09 4.3)
    I've split the document up by inserting sections:
    Section 1: Glossary of Abbreviations, List of Figures. These must be numbered, but on a Roman numeral system. This section begins on page 4, but page 4 should actually read page 'i', page 5 'ii', page 6 'iii', and so on.
    Section 2: Main body of text. This must also be numbered, but using Arabic numbers. This section begins on Page 8, but I want page 8 to read page '1', if you see what I mean.
    My problem: while I've succeeded in inserting  Arabic numbering at Section 2, I cannot do the same for Section 1. Each time I try to insert the Roman numerals using 'Insert > Auto Page Numbers...' it just numbers the WHOLE document that way! I can't manually type in the numeral at the footer of each page either, because when you change one footer it changes all the footers within a section!
    I've gone on every forum, tried everything I've read, but it STILL WON'T cooperate. This should be the easiest thing in the world but I can't seem to do it! I'm going insane. I beg you, if I can't solve this soon I'll overheat and throw this stupid computer out of the window. Please, PLEASE help!

    I tidied all that up and added it to the iWorkTipsnTricks forum.
