Problems trying to open a Pages document

Have been working on a document on my ipad for a few days now and now can not open the document. I can see the preview of the document, I can duplicate the document (and can not open the duplicate either) but I cannot export or email the document in any format. When I go to open it I get the message "Document can't be opened." and when I try to use any of the conversions in export or send via Mail the wait symbol for creating the document begins but I have let it run for a couple hours and it doesn't seem to finish. The document is only text and only 4-5 pages long.

I have had a problem like this once, and is now why I export to the shared folder on ocassion to back up my working files.

    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.

  • Im trying to open a pages document I created on my ipad

    When trying to open a pages document I created on my ipad on my mac mini, I get a message that i need a newer version of pages.  But when I look on the app store it says I already have the latest version of pages.. What's the deal?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • I'm trying to open a pages document in land scape format but a window open saying that it only sports documents from iWork '09

    I'm trying to open a pages document in land scape format on my iPad2 but a window opens saying that it only sports documents from iWork '09.
    Also does any one know how to rotate an image in photos or an image that is in a document from pages?
    Thanks

    You could always try turning the Ipad around to landscape after undoing the lock sreen switch on the side.
    Yes you could try using 2 fingers to hold the photo and rotating the picture but it usally goes back to normal. But you try taking a snapshot by pressing the home and the lockscreen button at the same time.

  • Pages crashes when trying to open a pages document.

    Hi there, I'm new to the forum.
    I have been working on a business plan since June and amended it as recently as yesterday. I saved it regularly and I closed the application normally.
    However, on trying to open the document today Pages I get the progress window that tells me the file is opening. It gets halfway and I get the window with "The application Pages quit unexpectedly".
    I have tried the reset option and everything else I can think of. I can open other pages documents it seems only this one is corrupted.
    Is there anything I can do to recover my work. Any help much appreciated.

    You got a corrupted file.
    This is why I wrote many times: don't rely on Save.
    Use Save as so you will be able to check that the newly saved document is OK before removing the old one.
    You may also activate the feature allowing Pages to keep the late version when it saves.

  • Pages somehow vanished off my computer. When trying to open a Pages document it says, "no default application" Any ideas where it went and how can I get it back?

    The Pages program seems to have vanished off my computer. I can't open any of my Pages documents. It says " no default application" I've tried to search ffor it and there's nothing. Is there an advanced search I could try or some other thing I can do to find it? Thanks for any help.

    Hi msmuffy,
    You can re-download it from the App Store: Open the App Store and make sure you are signed on with the Apple ID you used to purchase Pages originally. Click on the Purchases tab at the top of the screen. You should see Pages listed. If it says "Download" next to it, then you can re-download it. If it says "Installed" it means that it is somewhere on the Mac, so go to the Finder and do a Search from there.
    Cheers,

  • When I try to open a pages document on my mac book pro it says "The file 'thesis.pages' couldn't be opened." But i can open the same file on my iPad and iPhone without a problem.

    Thanks very much for the instructions.  I encountered this problem this morning myself and the recommendation fixed the problem immediately.  When things like this happen with iCloud and Pages it makes me wonder if I might be better off using something else, having just recently had to fix the problem that the current Pages can't read documents I created with a much earlier version until they were "upgraded" by an interim version.

  • Excel service and OWA - getting ERROR while trying to open/edit Excel documents

    Hi All,
    We have configured SharePoint 2013 with Excel Service and OWA (Office Web Apps).
    After configuring, we are able to view/edit Word or PowerPoint documents from the browser (as OWA is configured). But we are getting errors while trying to open/edit Excel documents.
    We are not able to view/edit the excel workbook from the browser (through OWA).
    To open the excel in the browser, decision has to be taken at the farm level on what to be used – Excel Service or OWA Server? Is it possible to do setting at site collection level?

  • After I updated Firefox to 33.1, I haven't been able to use it. I open it and it tries to open a page and crashes immediately. I have already tried to reinstall

    I updated Firefox to 33.1 like a dutiful Firefox user. Since then, I haven't been able to successfully use Firefox. It tries to open a page and crashes immediately. I can't access any Mozilla support through Firefox. I have uninstalled Firefox and redownloaded Firefox multiple times in an effort to solve the problem. I always send the Crash report but it seems to do nothing to solve the issue.

    We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing when you open it. Please do the following to give us crash IDs that will help us understand more about the crash.
    #'''(OS X 10.6 or previous)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. Your home folder will be selected. In the right side of the window, click the Library folder to open it. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.<br>'''(OS X 10.7 or above)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. On the menu bar, click the '''Go''' menu, hold down the '''option''' or '''alt''' key and select '''Library'''. A window will open containing your Library folder. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.
    #Open the 5 most recent files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
    #Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!
    You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

  • On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document created from MAC

    Hi all,
    On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document in INDD format created from Mac. Error received "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by other application". I am currently using Adobe Indesign CC 9.2 Trial version.
    Kindly advise how can i open this document on windows platform and allows me to edit the document.
    Thanks!
    With Rgds,
    Fiona Choy

    Normally there is no problem to open any INDD opening on Windows, when created on the Mac.
    But Mac user are often not aware on the naming limitations. A file name must not contain /, \, |, :
    It should not contain any extended character, it is not a primary problem but will be, if something links to that file, so avoid also: ÄÖÜäöüß+&
    You can use all other non A-Z a-z, 0-9 and - and  _
    I personally would also recommend to avoid spaces.
    This is valid for the INDD file itself but also for all linked content.

  • I have tried to save a Pages document to a Word document but it does not work. Plse advice !

    I have tried to save my Pages document into a Word document but I keep on running into trouble = it does not work ! Anyone can help me ?

    I'm afraid that your choice if names is the problem. Try "RoomSched2X", or similar, and let us know how it goes. If that works you can try some other names of your own choosing.

  • 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.
