Re: Pages persistent failure to respond

For the past week I have been experiencing a huge problem with Pages, the program fails to respond; at times numerous pages docs are "open" in the dock at the bottom of the screen, but when I click on them to access them, after displaying on the main screen they remain unusable as the widget whirls endlessly, other times Pages is even less responsive, namely no "open" docs even appear in the dock.
There are no viruses or worms, all other programs are responding normally, only Pages is capput!

Peter, thank you for your helpfulness and expertise.  I apologize for not including the necessary system info. with my request: OS X Version 10.8.4 (12E55); MacBook Pro, Early 2011; Pages '09 Version 4.3 (1048); Apple programs were up to date; I manually updated Intego Virus Barrier X6 software (which is set to automatically update) after experiencing the protracted problems, then updated to VirusBarrier 2013; I also did a full system scan after updating.
I have not had the extreme problem today and have been going into documents to remove fonts and links that may be problematic, taking smallest steps first.  Prior to this Mac, I only had used PCs and consequently am a long way behind the curve.
I don't know whether the problem is resolved yet, but if everything is working ok within a week's time, I will check off "This solved my question."
Thanks again,
Brad

    Hi, I’ve recently bought an iPad2 and can’t get connected with AppStore or iTunes, when I tap on these icons a grey page pops up saying is loading but never opens the page, no failure message is displayed, it just keep saying is loading.
    Apparently it is not an issue with wifi since Safari, You Tube and Maps work well, I’ve tried some of the tips, e.g. log off/on my Id, change password but no one worked.
    Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Luis.

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

  • Am not able to use facebook on my Iphone 4, softwareversion:iOS7.1, also tried to access through safari and chrome that i have installed it gives an error message saying: "safari could not open the page because server stopped responding",

    Am not able to use facebook on my Iphone 4, softwareversion:iOS7.1, also tried to access through safari and chrome that i have installed it gives an error message saying: "safari could not open the page because server stopped responding", i tried network reset, reset the whole device, rebooting , changing airplane mode rebooting nothing fix the issue, but i can access other sites and google , am using Vodafone as my carrier with 2g network, when at home able to access facebook.com through wifi in safari requesting assistance thank you

    If you can access Facebook while on Wifi at home, but you are unable to access it while away running on your carrier's 2G network, I could phone your carrier.  You have already completed the Cellular Data troubleshooting for the iPhone, so any limitations keeping your from connecting to Facebook over cellular will have to be answered by your carrier.

  • Safari couldn't open page because server stopped responding

    i keep getting this error when i try to open a page on safari
    SAFARI COULDN'T OPEN PAGE BECAUSE SERVER STOPPED RESPONDING
    It happens whether on wi-fi or cellular data -

    Are you able to use other apps that require internet access?
    If so:
    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
    Clear the browser cache: Settings App > Safari > Clear History + Clear Cookies and Data.

    Unfortunately, most of my advice is in the "hindsight is 20-20" category.
    First off, I would never have purchased the peripheral accessories until the 14 day return period had expired. Second, you learned the hard way what the "14 days" really means.
    Too bad you didn't do any homework, reading this and other forums and tech sites. Even word of mouth from others. That, more than anything could have steered you towards different phone choices from the get-go and I will leave that there with no further comment other than to say most of the issues you described have been discussed in this forum, ad nauseam.
    Once you got into the refurbished phone exchanges, that is where things really went haywire. What someone tells you over the phone is a sketchy proposition, and when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs.
    I think Verizon tried to make it right, though. Remember, they don't make the phones. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
    You stated yourself you were a satisfied Verizon customer before this. Had the first two phones performed as they should, you would still be a satisfied Verizon customer.
    Doubt any of that will make you any happier, but after you went through the effort of writing such a long post, I thought I'd try.

  • I am getting Safari can not open page. Server stopped responding.  I have tried several things with no luck.  Anyone know what to try?

    I am getting message Safari can not open page.  Server stopped responding.  I have tried several suggestions but they have not worked.

    This is on an iPad, correct? Are you sure you have a network connection? Is your iPad Wifi or Wifi & 3G? I know these might seem like dumb questions, but we've got to narrow it down to get a solution. If you're absolutely positive you have an active network connection we can move on to other things.

  • Re-occuring "failure to respond" error.

    Hi!
    I have recently sorted out an issue with SIP port binding (thanks ralph), with immediate results - for details see: WAH1040, "another "failure to respond"" #34, 07:09pm Sep 21, 2005 CDT
    However one week later, the problem occured again. I guided my parents through the same procedure as last time (unbinding of port 5060 through telnet), and they were prompted with a message which basically said that the port was already unbound. AV Chatting did not work immediately, but after quite a few tries it eventually started up.
    Now two weeks later we tried again, and this time we had no luck, and gave up.
    The error message has always been the same "x failed to respond", where x is me at my end, and them at their end.
    It would seem that the SIP port unbinding is not enough to fix the problem.
    Any Ideas?
    Cheers,
    craig jonathan.

    Hi Matt,
    A DHCP server is a device that can issue IP addresses to other devices connected to it with out the need of the users intervention.
    Some IPs use this type to enable end users to just plug in and get a Public IP address. When you disconnect and reconnect then you may get a new IP address. This is no good if you are running Myhomewebpages.com from your computer (rather than a server somewhere "out there")
    Dometic modems that route and routers also have the option of doing this and by default it is normally on.
    So you can connect a router which is doing DHCP and issuing IP addresses to ALL devices downline from it (and in some cases Up-line as well) to a modem the is Issuing IP addresses to ALL devices downline from it. As your computer is downline from both your computer gets two IP addresses (one for each subnet).
    The important thing with subnets id to make sure the previously issued IP addreses stop at that router. Static IPs will do this.
    Modems have to be "told" to pass the Public IP address on inn "Bridge" mode.

  • Iphone 4 error message while in wifi "safari can not open page because server stopped responding" after iOS6 update

    I am currently using my Iphone 4 in wifi networks only after canceling my cell phone plan. Over the weekend I did the IOS6 update on the iphone as well as updated my macbooks itunes and OS X operating systems updates that were available.  Since that my iphone's safara app won't connect.  After it trys to connect for a minute or 2 I recieve the message: "safari can not open page because server stopped responding".  However ALL other apps that require the phone to be connected to wifi for use work properly, i.e app store, imessage, pinger, facebook, etc.  I have checked all network setting and they looked right to me.  Anything I'm missing, ideas to try, or am I sol (lol)?  Safari worked perfectly before the update so I thought I might have done something wrong or forgot to change some type of setting.
    Thank you!

  • 8.3 causing issues with safari, "Safari could not open the page because server stopped responding"

    Since my upgrade to 8.3 there are several issues with many apps when they are trying to download information.
    When I go to Safari and open i.e. msn.com.  it tries for over 60 seconds.  then I get the error:
       Safari could not open the page because server stopped responding.
    I have a iPhone 6 plus with 113 gig  and 65 gig available
    This same issue is causing problems when downloading articles on facebook and instagram app.
    We also noticed this same issue on Macbook Air, and iMac, iPad 2, and iPhone 5s.
    I also have the Mac Pro without these issues but it is connected by ethernet instead of wireless. 
    Is wifried back and now plaguing all devices?
    I selected mac because, I was tried of all the PC issues with new updates.  It seems mac is now lowering its quality to that of PC.
    We need a fix for this ASAP!

    I have tried resetting my Iphone 6 Plus by holding both the off and select buttom.  This did not help. 

  • Safari could not open the page because server stopped responding on my IPAD3

    As a Novice can some one please tell me, in detail, how to resolve ' safari could not open the page because server stopped responding' on my IPAD3

    I am having the same issue. Its says that the server has stopped running. THis has gone on for three days straight. First time it fixed it by powering down the unit, the next time it worked resetting the network settings. Now its happened again and these two options do not work either. What do I do or what could be wrong??

  • I don't understand why recently with the new "pages" my computer stops responding. When I go to fix some grammar all of a sudden the little colored circle begins to appear and won't go away I restart my computer.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

  • Firefox4 keeps haning on first page , and shown not responding at top of page.had to install 3.6.16 to get firefox to work.(no virusses/mall/adware etc. found, amd explorer worked fine) how can i get ff4 to work properly again (like it did for two weeks)

    When i open FF4 the first page opens(google search).
    the when i go to, lets say gmail, it will open but when i try to look at an e-mail, it won't load.In the bar at the top of the screen a msg shows (in Dutch) saying" firefox reageert niet" (firefox is not responding).
    All I can do is close FF and when I start it again it opens with a window asking me to start a new session or open the latest session.
    No matter what choice I make the outcome is the same. I can open 0ne page , and then get the same msg as before.
    I ran several anti virus programs as well as Mall and Spy-ware killers,restarted the computer, started the computer from a point in the past, nothing helped.
    As this went on I was able to use Explorer.
    As a last resort I re-installed FF3.6.16
    Now everything seems to work again.
    But in the two weeks I worked with FF4 it worked really nice, therefore I'd really like to be able to to use FF4

  • Pages 5.1 not responding after updated from AppStore

    I've update my Pages app to v.5.1 in my MacBook Pro and I can't open it after updated. When I open it, it still not responding all time. I've replace Pages app with older version and it can open but I can't open my newer version document that I've edited on New iMac. Anybody can help me? I have to use an iCloud beta now. Thank you

    In Pages 5 .plists are now stored within the application bundle.
    I will resist telling you to trash any because I am not sure if there are consequences doing so. With Pages '09 it was fine, but they weren't part of the application.
    You can validate fonts in Font Book:
    select all the fonts > Menu > File > Validate Fonts > turn off or remove those that report errors etc
    Also try starting PAges holding down the shift key in case it is simply a damaged Pages file.

  • Another "failure to respond"

    I have been reading about all the others that are experiencing problems with this... and find that none of the solutions are working.
    I have been using ichat av perfectly before upgrading to tiger, and now i get the message that I am not respodning, even though it me that initializes or responds.
    No change of hardware, or network or ISP has occured. Tiger is the only new element.
    This surely must be a bug with iChat. This is extremely frustrating!!!
    Help Apple!!!

    Hello Dan,
    You still do not say whether you are also using a ZyXEL. If you are, try Ralph's suggestion.
    I am at version 10.4.2 ...Your system info still says that you are at "Mac OS X (10.4)". You can update your Discussions Preferences to reduce the confusion to those trying to help. The link you need is immediately below the "Logout" link at the upper right on this page.
    ... still am having problems.Test with other users to determine which end of the connection is causing the trouble. Both of you should test.
    If you each do not have multiple buddies that can test with you, you can find info on test sites and people willing to test with you in the Want to Test your iSight With Another Person?FAQ.
    Then, the person who needs to trouble shoot further can try the suggestions in Using iSight with iChat AV.
    You and any chat partners also using 10.4.2 can try the additional suggestions for Help for iChat AV 3 Problems.
