Problems opening files in pages and keynote from iCloud. Other IOS-devices show no problem

I have problems in getting files opened on computer from Icloud. For both Pages and Keynote. Happens when they have been opened on Iphone og Ipad

I had this problem this morning also - couldn't open a Numbers file on my mac. It hasn't been used on ipad or iphone but was shared with another mac user who accessed yesterday. Now I also can't save a text edit file. It is sitting on my screen but when I go to save it I get a message saying "the file untitled.rtf couldn't be opened". My other numbers files (not shared) in icloud also get the same message when I try to open them. I think this is an icloud server problem. Hopefully they will fix it quickly. I can open the files by going to icloud.com and using the webapps.

I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. Some contacts have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel. A real Mac **** up !

I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. And some contacts occasionally have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel Mac. A real Mac **** up ! Any ideas ?

Can you drag and drop the attachments visible in the email to the Desktop OK or does that fail ?
Re the sending: Are these recipients on Mac's or PC's as the file type could be an issue, if on Mac's then try setting the Mail Preferences Composing setting to Plain Text not Rich Text and see if that improves things.

Problems opening files in QT and Preview

Don't know where to put this as it doesn't appear to be a problem with QT or Preview alone. When I double click a file Preview would normally open, Preview opens, but the file does not. I can open the file manually by using the file menu in Preview and navigating to the file, but again, double clicking opens the program but not the file itself. QT, same exact situation except that in addition many movies which played fine in QT a couple days ago will no longer play. Instead I get the following error message: "QuickTime cannot open the file: "_____.mpg" a necessary data reference could not be resolved (-2000)." Don't know if it's related, but at the same time these problems started I also found I couldn't import movies into Toast -- "unsupported formats" -- even though I'd just burned copies with the same version of Toast 2 days earlier. Oh yes, I'm using QT 7.0.4, but problem started with 7.0.3 installed.

Do you have a second user? If not create one, then log on as that user and see if files will open by double clicking and if Toast works correctly. If that user also has the problem, then it is a system level glitch. If not, then the problem is some file in your home user folder. Oh, put some test files in the Shared folder, and change their permissions so everyone can use them, with GetInfo. And be sure to make your test user an admin user.

Open file for reading and allow access by others

How can I open a file for reading and still allow others to access (read and write) the file? I plan to keep this file open for the duration of my program and close it at the end. However while my program is running another program will need access to the file so it can write to it. I may be wrong, but I dont think that setting the appropriate permission will solve the problem... Thank you for your time.

hi jmcbee,
I think as long as "readers" open a file as "ReadOnly", then the OS (at least Windows) will allow another process to open and write to the same file without a problem. It's been a while since I've done this - maybe 7 years - and I may have opened the "writer" first, though doubt it makes a difference.
Have you tried?
Cheers!

Why don't pages and keynote work since mountain lion was reinstalled?

I just had Mountain Lion reinstalled to fix a problem with reading DVD's. That problem was fixed but now I can't use Pages or Keynote. When I try to open them I get a message saying "files that need iwork are missing" and it says to use the iwork installer to reinstall iwork. So I downloaded and installed iwork 9.2, but pages, numbers and keynote still don't work. Help! I need my documents for work!

Plus when I tried downloading updates to pages and keynote from the Apple support site, I got a message saying they couldn't be installed because they were from an unidentified developer, not approved by Apple. Huh?

How do i return pages and keynote and possibly get a refund?

I recently bought pages and keynote from the app store, the program is fine, but i prefer word. Is there anyway i could return both programs and get a full refund?

Hi Dale
Applications from mac App Store are entirely dematerialized. There is nothing to open before installing them.
You are right that the official policy is "no refund" but from time to time Apple accept to reimburse. They did for Final Cut Pro X.
If the customer explain that he can't work with the new features Versions and AutoSave, I assume that they will accept to reimburse.

I have an iPad 2 with iworks, in pages and keynote I noticed it cuts the first letter on the right when I open an imported doc or ppt or even paste text from an email. I type in Hebrew (right to left language).

How to solve?pages and keynote cut the first letter when opening an imported file from doc or ppt or even when pasting text to a new pages document.
I write in Hebrew, which is a right to left language.
Never got a warning that this apps do not work In my language. They are available in my country's AppStore and that was the reason I bought the iPad.
Thank you,

All iWork apps, both for iOS and OS X, have always had bugs that make them unsuitable for RTL scripts for most purposes. The only solution is to use something else.

This problem appears after opening 4 a 5 files, rebooting helps another 4 a 5 times and appears again.

I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
Good luck.

My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them (or download and open them) from an email. I do I get this to stop? It's really aggravating.

My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them from an email. Downloading them and opening them doesn't help. How do I make this stop? I don't use iLife and don't want to; my clients are using Office and it's easier for me, except when I have to copy and paste everything they send me from an iLife file back to Word and Excel. Help!!! It's like Apple has become Microsoft, forcing us to use their apps.

Do you have Word & Excel installed, if yes, navigate in the finder to an example of each, right click and select 'Get Info' scroll down to 'Open With' and select the appropriate program, check the box that says 'Change All'

So, iDisk (great with MobileMe) is closed! Ok. I got the most expensive iCloud Plan and LOVED storing files online. Is that REALLY OVER??!! (besides Numbers', Pages', and Keynote's docs sync).. Will I REALLY have to downgrade to "free" on iCloud?!!

So, iDisk (great with MobileMe) is closed! Ok. I got the most expensive iCloud Plan and LOVED storing files online. Is that REALLY OVER??!! (besides Numbers', Pages', and Keynote's docs sync).. Will I REALLY have to downgrade to "free" on iCloud and PAY for "DropBox", "Google Drive" or "Microsft's Sky Whatever.."?!!
I could not log in to this Support Community with my UPDATED Apple ID (and this is another issue I can't believe Apple just says "NO, you CAN'T!" - deleting other (old) Apple IDs we've created by mistake or a long time ago and being able to have it all on ONE SINGLE UPDATED Apple ID - ALSO saving Apple's storage servers, etc.).
Anyway, my Apple ID for better communication is [email protected] (but I really couldn't log in here - it kept saying that the e-mail is already registered, etc. I know it, I'm trying to use it here, that's all...
So, really. Of course a lot of people don't care about the iDisk issue. That's fine, we all love and hate specific apps or software.. But why has Apple just shut it down, since it was so EASY to use (as DropBox) on all our Apple devices?!! So, we really can't upload/store any kind of files anymore and that's it?!
I used iDisk when MobileMe was still alive, and it was great to have my files from work, home, any backup (whatever we want) uploaded and synced and used in our Macs, iPhones and iPads. If we have the OPTION of an iCloud Plan (the top one, for example), but we just don't like the automatick backups for the iPhones and iPads, nor the Pictures' sync function.. Why can't we just have the SAME simple and efficient/great service of the iDisk installed in each device?!
Do we really have to go back and downgrade back to the free iCloud Option (just for keeping the e-mail) and paying extra for DropBox, Google, Microsoft, any other services?! I have nothing against them - I actually have DropBox and it works great because it REMINDS me of iDisk!! But WHY NOT just keep it simple and closed with 1 company/platform/option - Apple's iOS, OSX, etc.
That's why I decided to have a Macbook Pro, an iPhone 4S and an iPad 3rd. Generation (for example, along with other products and services such as Apple TV).. I know I'm CHOOSING to stay with 1 world, that's fine. And that's why I didn't (yet) go for a Samsung phone or another tablet.. I wanna stick with 1 pattern and I have chosen Apple's..
Just can't understand such an innovative company make such decisions (such as shutting down iDisk or not letting us just DELETE Apple IDs we do NOT use anymore).. Please, just some guidance or confirmation if that's correct: No way of uploading files others than Numbers', Pages' or Keynote's!!??
Thank you very much!!
Peace.

Thank you Roger.
That's exactly what I was afraid of...
During all the time I have been a loyal customer of Apple's products and services, these have been the only 2 issues that I really can't understand (specially when we look at Apple's strategies and management)...
1) Not being able to DELETE (simply delete or deactivate) old or duplicated Apple IDs... I have 3 different Apple IDs but only one is the real Apple ID I use for everything, with all my purchases and services (such as e-mail) related to it (Why won't Apple jus let people delet, deactivate or - at least - merge Apple IDs?! That would help everyone, including Apple when we think about costs, storage, database maintenance, etc.) - Actually, even when I gave up on trying to delete other Apple IDs, I tried to have the one I really use and have organized to use my @me.com address as the Apple ID itself (as Apple asks us to do - and makes sense, of course). But never worked. Just because I created that Apple ID with a @hotmail.com account (since it asks for a valid e-mail when you create an Apple ID, it NEVER lets me now change my Apple ID to my @me.com e-mail address - I mean JUST having my @me.com e-mail address as my primary e-mail and my Apple ID (for example, having that old @hotmail.com e-mail address out of it, cleaned..)!
2) The other issue was this one, about iDisk. Of course there must be reasons for having it shut down, maybe the apps used by iPhone and iPad, along with the folder on Mac OSX, is way too complicated, expensive, full of bugs, I don't know. But if we decide to pay for 50GB of online storage, why even THINK about different options for files we use?! I have Dropbox, I've read about Google Drive and Microsoft SkyDrive, etc. But I just wanted to STICK with a single ALL-APPLE solution.. That is.. Pay the annual fee for the 50GB and just still keep any file I want on the cloud with iDisk. So, what Apple tells me is that if I have other files than iWork or PDF (and some few exceptions), I should actually downgrade to "free" iCloud and decide to PAY for another solution (organization), such as DropBox, Google Disk or Drive (I don't really know), Micrsoft's SkyDrive..
Of course there's the strategy of getting more and more people to use Pages, Numbers and Keynote (buying them for iOS and Mac OSX, as I already have and love them). But "killing" iDisk and just telling users to look for other storage solutions doesn't really sound like Apple.
I have seen so many questions here about both issues (deleting or merging Apple IDS + iDisk back since we pay for storage) that I really believe Apple should reconsider these issues or, at least, open the issue and let us know what would be the best "partner solution" for iCloud...
Thanks a lot!
All the best...
