Saving iWork Document in Mavericks: "** Couldn't be opened"
When trying to save a file from the dropdown menu or when closing a document the following message appears: The file “Untitled.pages” couldn’t be opened.
Also the same problem with Keynote and Numbers. Has happened since upgarding to Mavericks and the new associated iWork.
Only a problem in my iMac. Macbook is coping fine.
Can work round it by using the dropdown on the title bar, but thats not ideal.
Help!?

Error: The document "filename.pages" couldn't be opened.
I got a new Mac Mini and put 2009 iWork on it and immediately ran the update. I can't open any documents!! All I get is "The document “filename.pages” couldn’t be opened." What is going on? I have a legitimate iWork disc and DO not want to have to buy anything again!
It is ALL documents I have made in ANY iWork program previously. I have included a couple.
I have also discovered that I cannot create any NEW documents. The template window comes up but is a black screen. If I hit "New Document" from the open window nothing comes up.

Is it possible to delete iwork documents off my Mac but keep them saved in iCloud?
Hello,
Is it possible to delete iwork documents off my Mac but keep them saved in iCloud?
Thanks in advanceIn Finder preferences > General, I changed New Finder windows show: from All My Files to my short login name. This reduces the confusion in presented files.
You can control where you retrieve or save iWork documents via the open and Save.../Save As... dialogs -- or with drag & drop -- be that local or iCloud. I have Pages documents in iCloud that do not reside on my local disk. I can always retrieve them from iCloud to local storage as needed. You certainly can remove a local copy of a document that you already have saved in iCloud.
The act of saving a document to iCloud does not create a duplicate (backup) copy on your local storage. -
iWorks has disappeared. How can I open document saved as Word 97 through Pages stored on Dropbox?
Thanks but I don't think this will help. Like I said, all of my add-ons were working fine and compatible until after running a previous version of FF. I am sure they are still compatible, but they are not working at all.
I even checked my profile folder and all of the extensions' data is all still there but FF5 is just not reading it correctly. (like adblock plus... I see the folder for it but FF5 doesn't have it on the add-on manager page when I run FF5) -
IWork documents will not open in Preview or display with Quicklook
I have recently upgraded to OSX Mavericks and updated to the latest version of iWork (including the fresh installation of Numbers and Pages). However new iWork documents are not are not displaying in Finder with a preview thumbnail, or opening with either Quicklook or Preview. I only see the Pages, Keynote, and Numbers document icons.
The issue is isolated to new iWork documents, as iWork 09 documents still work, as well as most other standard file formats.
I have checked the Quicklook folder my Library, and have the latest 3.0 version of iWork.qlgenerator.
I have tried restarting Finder and Quicklook (in Terminal), as well as restarting the machine. However this has not solved the problem.
It’s not the end of the world, but it is inconvenient.
Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks!I don't have any Appleworks files but Numbers & Pages users manuals say they will import Appleworks 6 files. I can't say why yours will not if they are Appleworks 6 documents.
I also don't have MacLinkPlus but it might be doing one of two things: saving in a pre-'97 format of Excel or saving with non-standard header information in the file that Numbers does not understand.
I'm not being of much help so far. I've been looking all over and haven't found a solution for you. Sorry. -
Cant open iWork documents on iCloud
Hi guys,
I am running mountain lion 10.8.2, I put a few documents up into iCloud when 10.8 was released and they were working just fine, now cannot open a few numbers & pages documents.
I have 5 pages documents saved in iCloud, 2 docs I can open (the doc preview has the text) and 3 others I cant open (these have the pages icon as the preview) I have found the same issue in numbers.
I have unticked the documents option in the settings, let all the documents delete and then reticked it with no success.
I also went to the iCloud website and tried to download it from there and it says "Document cant be downloaded, please try again"
Tried dragging it onto my desktop from pages and get this “Document name” cannot be converted. Please install a newer version of iWork. I'm on pages 4.2 the latest version according to the app store.
I also logged onto my MBP at home and couldn't open the documents either.
I certainly hope this is fixable!!!!Any progress on the 'copy your Time Machine backup' version of this issue? I started getting these errors 12 hours into a 24 hour copy… and eventually the copy failed.
Funny, I had the same symptoms, 12 hours into a 24 hour copy, too. (example below)
“D705B42B-AB04-4C16-9887-922B8A083A8E” cannot be converted. Please install a newer version of iWork.
The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.
The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062).
What I noticed was that, despite following HT5096 correctly, I was not asked to enter Admin password at the beginning of the copy. I run in Admin all the time, and Disk Utility asked me for Admin password and Finder asked me for Admin password when I unchecked ignore ownership.
I'm VERY interested in why the copy process believes it's CONVERTING these iWork documents. And naturally I'm running what App Store tells me is the latest iWork.
Previously, I'd always just started another backup on new drives… I guess I'll be doing that in future too, as the well meaning HT wasted 12 hours. Sadly, I don't seem to be able to submit feedback on the HT, either.
I posted these comments to a newer discussion, more specific, but not much activity.

IWork documents disappearing!
I have a couple dozen iWork docs saved in iCloud. Recently I had toruble opening a few, and when I look at the open doalog, some files have a greyed out file size.
For example, in Mountain Lion, when I launch Keynote and open a file, one Keynote presentation will say 25MB in white, and the file opens, saves and syncs correctly. Another presentation will read 37MB, or whatever, but the size is in gray, and the file doesnt open.
In mavericks, the fire sizes show up as 0 bytes, and still won't open.
If I try to drag the file out of the iCloud window onto my desktop, an error mesage will tell me the pfile can't be converted, please download a new version of Keybote. This happens in Mountain lion and Mavericks, with Keynore 09 and 13. This also happens if I try to drag the doc out of the ~/Library/Mobile Documents folder.
The same thing is happening i Pages. In Keynote, its 7 of my 25 files. In Pages, its 2 of my 10 docs.
Even Time Machine backups are giving the same errors!Welcome to the Apple Community.
It sounds like the files have become corrupted. Moving forward, get into the habit of regularly backing up your work by saving to iTunes from your iOS device. -
Can I choose which iWork documents to store on iCloud?
Hi,
I was wondering if I can choose which iWork documents to store on iCloud? I have a lot of iWork files on my work Mac but I don't want them all on iCloud, just a couple that I'm currently working on, so that I can easily access and edit them when I'm at home or on the road.
Thanks!You are free, if you want to store your iWorks documents in the cloud or locally on your mac. The file choser dialog, when you are saving the document, will let you save it either in iCloud or in a folder on your mac. If you later change your mind, you can move the document between your local storage oand the cloud.
Regards
Léonie
The file choser when saving a document. iCloud is the default, but you can select any of your favorites. -
The document "fine_name" couldn't be opened
Has anyone had the pleasure of working on a pages file, printing it, saving it, closing it and when you go back to open it, it says "The document "fine_name" couldn't be opened"
It is a .page file format, I have tried opening it up in text edit and changing the filename to word doc. I have also tried opening it on another machine and nothing works. Apple seem to think it is corrupt. I wouldn't normally mind, but it is a very important pages file and I need to recover it.
Any advise would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
GavstarsGavstars,
welcome to Apple Discussions.
Renaming the file will not work because Pages files are folders (or packages). Ctrl-Click (right-click) on the file name in Finder and choose "Show Package content" from the contextual menu.
Inside of the package you'll see different folders and files (e.g. images) belonging to your document. Maybe one of these files is missing. If there's a file called index.xml.gz, you could at least try to get the text of your document.
Copy index.xml.gz to your desktop and double click on the file. It will be extracted to index.xml. You could open index.xml in Safari (shows only text but difficult to read) or in Internet Explorer or some decent XML editor. IE and the editor will show xml tags surrounding the text.

I have a macbook. This has never happened before. I 100% saved my document. I tried clicking on "revert to saved" with no luck. Please someone help me, I cannot write all of this again.
While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use Pages. There's a Pages Support Community where everybody uses Pages. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages

Using iWork-09 with Mavericks doesn't allow you to open a blank file immediately, you must go through the time chooser window first--is there a workaround to this problem?
You always have had to open your file via the Template Chooser, unless you choose a particular template to open with:
Menu > Preferences > General Preferences > For New Documents: Use template > Choose…

Is it possible to add an extension/add-on/plugin to iWork document?
Is it possible to add an extension/add-on/plugin to iWork document that gets called at the time of opening a document and saving a document? This add on will basically see the file type being opened and for specific file types,this add-on will convert the file being opened to iWork format when opening and convert to the custom format when saving.
Numbers has not built-in facility for plugins. It does support Applescript and can, therefore invoke Applescripts from a menu or be included in performing task in an Applescript.

I have adobe editions 4.0 and I've been trying to get library books on my kobo for over 2 hours! The book goes onto my Kobo fine, but when I try to open in on my kobo it says, "Oops! The document couldn't be opened. It's protected by ADRM and is not currently authorized for use with your Adobe ID." It does it with every single book. I've never had this problem before. I've tried everything! Please help.
