Preview not opening new pages documents after Yosemite upgrade

Just upgraded to Yosemite and also upgraded Pages to 5.5. Created a new Pages document and now, in Finder, the preview does not work. If I control click on the pages file and select open with Preview I get an error "The file “XXXXX.pages” could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." Existing (previous version) Pages documents do open in Finder. Does anyone else have this problem?

Yes this has been reported by others.
No solution, so far.

Pages will not open a Pages document

I made a Pages document on my computer at home (iMac 10.4.8) and I am wanting to open the same document on my computer at work (eMac 10.4.10). I get a message simply stating that the document "could not be opened." Why will my document open in Pages on one computer and not on the other? I have iWork on both computers. Any help will be appreciated!

There shouldn't be a problem opening a Pages document with the same major version number but different sub-numbers. But, you can't open a Pages 3 document in Pages 1 or 2 or a Pages 2 document in Pages 1. In Pages 2 there is an option in the Save dialog to save as iWork '05 (Pages 1) & Pages 3 has the option of saving as iWork '05 or iWork '06.

Firefox not opening new pages in new tabs

Just updated to FF 5.0 on OS 10.6.6. Got my pref set to open new pages/bookmarks in a new tab, but it just loads them into the current window.
I disabled all of my extensions (Download helper, web dev tools, Firebug, TinyURL generator, Yahoo mail notifier) and no dice.
Arg! What happened?
I appreciate any suggestions.

If you left-click a link then that link is always opened in a the current tab.<br />
You need to middle-click a link or use command+Left-click to open the link in a new tab.<br />
The setting in Firefox > Preferences > Tabs only makes it possible to divert links that specify a target window to open in a new tab instead.
You can look at these extensions:
*Open Bookmarks in New Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-bookmarks-in-new-tab/
*Open Link in New Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-link-in-new-tab/

ICloud deleted my Pages documents after Yosemite

I'm having a bit of a issue.
Yesterday i updated my Mac to Yosemite from Mavericks. Everything went fine except some of my Pages documents were missing. I can't see why this should happen, they're just gone right away.
I've a little background story:
Earlier, like maybe 3 weeks, I logged into my iCloud account on iCloud.com, to access a Keynote presentation. To open it I was forced to upgrade to iCloud Drive - bear in mind this was before iOS 8 or Yosemite were released. So I upgraded to iCloud Drive and everything went fine after that. Although every time I had to access or create a new document on my Mac in Pages, I got this message which said something like: "iCloud Drive isn't supported for Mavericks. You will need to upgrade to Yosemite, to keep all your documents up to date across all devices."
I just closed it every time it showed, didn't gave it a simple thought. Because of this every document that were created AFTER upgrading to iCloud Drive, got this little label under it saying: "Waiting". I know that it means it is waiting for syncing to my iCloud account, but again I just thought it would sync after upgrading to Yosemite.
Well... I didn't. All the documents with that little label, were deleted upon finishing the update to Yosemite. I can't access the documents on any device, iPhone or iCloud.com, apparently I've been deleted from all devices. I tried accessing the documents on a Mac running Mavericks, with my iCloud account logged in, but that didn't even showed any document.
So I'm kinda screwed as of right now.
Any help would be great, honestly.

Your backups are inadequate, but you can try the following procedure.
View your documents in iCloud by selecting
File ▹ Open
from the menu bar and then clicking iCloud in the upper left corner of the dialog.
Enter Time Machine. Scroll back to a snapshot of the dialog that predates the unwanted changes. Select the documents you want to restore, the click Restore in the lower right corner of the display.

HT202879 Can NOT open my pages documents.

Pages is holding my documents hostage HELP!!!!
Message reads:
You need a newer version of Pages to open this document.
BUT I ALREADY HAVE installed this. please help

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

I can"t open any pages documents after failure occurred while trying to close a document

I noticed that I am not the only one with this problem. I think it's an apple glitch. It is telling me that I need a newer version but I already upgraded it with OS X mavericks download. Come on apple fix this problem I do school work on my computer and if I did not save it in a DOC file I can not retrieve it. This is major problem, I have deadlines.THANKS!

Since you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, you have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.

The new 5.0.1 version does not open new pages in new tabs when the feature is checked in options\tabs. How do I fix it?

When I check the feature in Tools\Options\Tab
"Open new windows in a new tab instead" it does not do so. New windows are launched in the existing tab.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
* Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
* Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
* Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
* Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Please help, I can not open the word document after I have exported from a PDF

Please help, I have bought this programme to convert PDF documents to word documents. All I find at the moment is that the document is not being converted and will not open once I have saved. It asks which programme I would like to select to open the saved file, and them does not work.
Please let me know where I am going wrong?
Ko

Good day Ko,
It sounds like the file extension may have been dropped when you saved the file to your computer.
Does your converted file have the .docx or .xlsx extension on the end? If it doesn't, try renaming the file and appending the file extension. You should be able to open your saved document in Word or Excel then.
Kind regards,
David

Freehand can't convert EPS files into editable vectors. I
usually run
EPS files through Illustrator and then into Frehand. If you
don't have
Illustrator you can convert the EPS into a PDF and that
Freehand will
sometimes convert into editable vectors (though it does
involve a lot
more clean up than going through Illustrator.)

"Update not available for this id" after Yosemite upgrade

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) 2,53 GHz Intel Core i5.
I upgraded O/S from Maverick to Yosemite. Now I try to perform latest update, and iMovie, Numbers, Keynote, Pages are listed in the Update list.
However each time I try to update them, AppStore refused with the error "Update is not available for this id..."
I did not change Apple Id since a long time, and performed latest update on Maverick before doing the upgrade. I checked the "Purchases" tab, these applications are not listed, not sure they were listed before the upgrade. I tried to sign out / sign in with my apple id, still same issue.
Anyone encountered same trouble ? What is the solution to fix this ?
Thanks,

My previous post should read...Could this be because my iPhone is now linked to the Mac and is recognising that ID?

Adober Reader 8.1.2 will not open new page links to .pdf file

Since upgrading to version 8, I cannot open a pdf file (from IE) if it opens in a new window. It opens local files, and links on pages that go directly to the pdf file, but not if the link opens the file in a new window. This means that I cannot open such things as my VISA statement, etc. What now?
I have Windows XP on a Dell desktop. If it makes any difference, I also have Adobe Pagemaker 7.0 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 loaded on this computer.
I really need this to work.
Thanks.

Nothing showed in the Event Viewer log. However, just to be thorough:
1. I uninstalled reader 6.0.1 and rebooted. (all pdf became unassociated)
2. I deleted any acr*.tmp anywhere on my computer.
3. I deleted The 6.0 folder from the application updates path
4. I deleted the 6.0 folder from my install path.
5. I deleted the Adobe folder from my temp directory.
6. I ran CCleaner, cleaned app files and registry and repeated.
7. I rebooted and repeated step 6.
8. I opened Event Viewer, backed up and cleared all events from the log.
9. I installed 8.1.2 (all pdf became associated with Acrobat Reader)
10. Under Event Viewer/Application the event log displays: Product: Adobe Reader 8.1.2 -- Installation operation completed successfully.
11. Under Event Viewer/System the event log displays: The Windows Installer service entered the stopped state.
12. I tried to launch: the shortcut, a pdf and the exe file.
13. There are no additional events added to any level of the event log.
14. There is no indication of activity from Reader in the Task Manager: Applications or Processes. It never appears in either.
As a final note, I know the 8.1.2 install file is not corrupted because I copied it to another computer where it installed and runs just fine.

Time Capsule does not appear in AirPort Utility after Yosemite upgrade

Just upgraded to Yosemite and the Time Capsule appears as a shared device in Finder, but does not appear in AirPort Utility. Any solution to this so I can manage my Time Capsule again?

I'm having the same problem. Did you reset your Time Capsule to factory settings or simply restart it?

Preview not opening pdf documents

Why would Preview not open a pdf document?
I double click on a document and Preview starts but the document does not open. I can open the document in Safari. I have other user accounts and the same document is working properly in all of them. The sharing & permissions looks like it is correct showing me to have Read & Write privileges.

Thanks, slug. I might have been born at night but it wasn't last night. I tried that and it still isn't working. When I did the repair permissions I did notice though that there were, literally, pages and pages and pages of "ACL found but not expected" lines in tons of System and hidden folders. I mean, repair permissions took almost 3 hours!! What's up with that?
