Since switching to the new pages, my old documents will not open, saying the index.xml file is missing

When attempting to open a file that was created prior to up-grading to the new "pages" it says "cannot open file the index.xml file is missing??"  What can I do to fix this??
Thank you!

Reopen these documents with the correct version (5) of Pages. Only Pages '09 documents contain an index.xml, and when you try to open a Pages v5 document in Pages '09, you get that dialog box.

  • I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
    The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
    That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
    SO...
    When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
    Many Thanks!

  • Hi, App Store tells me I have installed the latest Pages update, yet it will not open Pages docs created on other machines that DO have the latest version . Any tips?

    Hi
    Pages 5.0 and 10.9.
    While App Store tells me there is no update avalable to Pages, which it says was installed Nov. 4, its the old Avatar/logo thingo and, as I say, it will not open the Pages docs created on my MacBook, which definiitely does have the new Pages running smoothly.
    cheers

  • A Pages file will not open due to index.xml not found, what is up with that?

    I recently saved a file on Pages 5.5.2. on my IMac hard drive.  Now I find that on attempting to open it the file will not open due to index.xml not found.  Hoe do I correct this?

    I have this issue, as well - although perhaps in a different content.  When I try to open a file I created in the previous version of Pages, I will frequently (but not always), received the "index.xml not found" message.  I am very concerned that I may lose access to some of these files.  The old Pages icon is still on my dashboard, although I've downloaded the new Pages (that icon only appears when I open a new document).  I thought I needed to upgrade the old documents to the new Pages, but this didn't work.  Does anyone have any ideas?  And, I'm not a techie - so you'll need to break it down for me. 

  • Since loading the new version of Firefox it will not open. When I try to download Firefox 4 or older versions I get a messase that says I must close Firefox first. Everything else is closed!

    A new version of Firefox downlaoded the other day and now Firefox will not open at all. I tried to redownload version 4 and an earlier version (3.6) but I get a message that says that "Firefox must be close first in order to continue". There was no other box open at that time. What can I do to get Firefox to work?

    Hey, thanks for the info. Upon further reading into the help section, I realized that I had to uncheck spybot tea timer to get the downloads to save & open. Wish I had read that a couple of months back... Works fine now anywho, thank you for your response.
    Have a good one!

    I have tried 8 to 10 times to uninstall and reinstall Firefox 4. I have since checked my firewall settings and firefox is allowed. It simply just will not open for me. I previously have had firefox and it was simply an update from the 3.6 version. I have websites i need to used saved under my bookmarks and cannot access them in internet explorer

  • Cannot open pages documents "index.xml file is missing"

    Working on an iMac Mountain lion and using pages 3.0.3.  Just today, none of my pages documents will open.  I haven't stored anything in the cloud, I haven't changes anything, just working on the pages documents  simple text.
    The last thing I did with it was to print the file, as I have so often before.  I have a MacBook with the same pages app, but running on Yosemite -- bought a new version of pages.
    The MacBook will open .pages files stored on that hard drive, but files taken from the iMac will not open on the MacBook.
    I'm in a tight.  I have a vast number of documents as I've been using pages for years.

    By default, Pages v5.5.2 on Yosemite saves out a Single File format document, which is a compressed renamed zip folder that the Finder allows us to believe is a document. When you attempt to open that document from within Pages '08, or Pages '09, you get the following dialog:
    The Pages v5 generation documents do not use an internal index.xml file. Pages v5.5.2 also allows one to change that single file format document into a package file format document, which is not a compressed, renamed folder. When you open one of these package format documents in the older Pages applications, you now get a different dialog message. The index.xml file is still missing, but…
    If you are using Pages '08 v3.0.3, or Pages '09 v4.3, there are no newer versions of these applications available. This is an Apple attempt to steer users to a Yosemite update, and then downgrade to the latest Pages applications that now require Yosemite. They could have just said, “we made a document format that is incompatible with older Pages applications.”

  • One of my pages documents will not open. the others will

    Hello, wondering if anyone has any answers here. One  (only one) of my pages document will not open. The message says `the document couldn`t be opened` and there is a little yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle of it,  next to the message. I used this document this morning, no problem. Also, I checked other pages documents and there is no problem only with one.
    Kind regards,
    Thank you

    Hi italiancooking,
    This may help. In Finder, right click (or control click) on the document icon and Open With > Preview. If this works, copy the content and paste it into a new blank Pages document.

    Ian.

  • Verity Credit Union site will not open with the new Firefox. How can I get the old Firefox back?

    I want old Firefox back. My credit union, Verity, will not open with the new version of Firefox I have downloaded.

    @glennhaste, the public pages I visited seem identical in IE8 and Fx10, but you may be referring to a part of the site that requires logging in (impossible for non-customers to view).
    Since the problem is so recent, can you recall any changes you made in Firefox, or are you aware of any changes your CU made on its site?
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    Firefox > Preferences > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    While viewing a page on the site, "right-click" and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies" (''Sorry, I don't know how you right-click on a Mac'')
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
