The application "Pages" can't be opened

I click on the Pages application and it will not open.

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 and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to launch Pages. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

  • Just installed os x maverick and updated my version of pages now when I try to open a document stored in pages format from old version get message "The Application "pages" can't be opened -1712  What is wrong?

    Just updated to new version of pages.  Now can not open stored documents created under al pages.  Get message "the application pages can' be opened -1712"  hat do I do?

    Apple released Pages 5.0 to run on Maverics only. They completely rewrote the program for Maverics and 64 bit compatibility. They failed to explain that this version is missing much of the previous version's capability and that it cannot read older Pages files. When they install it they leave the older Pages 4.3 in place because it is the only way to read the older Pages files and upgrade them to a level that can be read by Pages 5!
    If you still have Pages 4.3 on your computer it will tell you what to do. If you do not then go into your backups and retrieve it.
    Because of the deficiences of Pages 5 I have removed it from my Mac and gone back to working with Pages 4.3. I have also removed Pages 2 from my iPad and found Pages 1.7 in the Time Machinew backups and brought it forward and droped it onto the iTunes icon to restore it and then synced the iPad to get the Pages 1.7 running again - it is compatible with Pages 4.3 on the Mac so all is back to normal for me.
    Apple say that they will fix many of the deficiences in Pages 5 in the next six months. I suggest you wait until then and keep an eye on these communities beforte considering the "upgrade".
    Incedentaly Pages 5.0 writes files that cannot be read by anything else including Pages 4.3 - better hope no one sends you one! It does not save RTF either - what where they thinking!

  • Error message "the application APPLICATION_NAME can't be opened. -10810"

    All of a sudden I started getting the error message "the application APPLICATION_NAME can't be opened. -10810" whenever I attempt to open an application. Sometimes all of the applications will work, but then all of a sudden one or two applications will turn unresponsive and I will get the above message whenever I attempt to open any application. Does anyone know what this error might be, and how I might go about fixing it?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Error Msg: "The application iTunes can't be opened. -1712"  How can I open the application?

    Error Msg:  "The application iTunes can't be opened.  -1712"  Spinning Wheel from ****!  How can I open this application?

    Try downloading and reinstalling iTunes.
    Does iTunes start normally in Safe Mode by holding down the Option and Command keys when starting iTunes?
    If it works normally, take a look at this Apple doc -> iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins

  • " the application iPhoto can't be opened"

    mac book pro 15inch mid2010 OS X yosemite version 10.10.2 recently did digital camera RAW compatibility update version 6.03 then backed up all iPhoto libraries to WD passport (external hard drive ). First time logging back on since update and back-up and when trying to open iPhoto window pops up " the application iPhoto can't be opened"
    any suggestions?

    That's it? Nothing else? No buttons to click?
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • MacBook Pro The application "Preview" can't be opened. -1712

    Hello community,
    My MacBook Pro
    Processor 2.4 GHz
    Memory 4 GB
    Storage capacity 19.31 GB free out of 249.2 GB
    OS X.9.4
    The application "Preview" can't be opened. -1712
    I have gone on line to look up possible fixes.
    1. I did: Go to Applications: Utilities: Disk Utility and ran: Verify Disk Permissions, Repair Disk Permissions. Both fine.
    2. I did: Finder: Go: Library: Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist and deleted that file. I tried to relaunch preview and it is still not working.

    Try deleting the com.apple.preview folder from the Containers folder in your /Home/Library.
    Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
    Pick one of the following methods:
    A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN.
    B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
    C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
    ~/Library
    Press the Go button.

  • The application Safari can't be opened -1712

    Has anyone seen this error message when trying to open the Safari application?
    The application Safari can't be opened.
    -1712
    Thank you

    Thanks Carolyn!
    Force Quitting within Activity Monitor is a quick and efficient way to handle most Applications "Not Responding" or seeming not to open with error -1712.
    It can also work great for an Application that "Freezes" and is giving the spinning beach ball
    Just be aware that you may lose any unsaved work by force quitting an application.

  • Hi,  I cannot access Finder and get the following message. Can anybody help? The application Finder can't be opened -10810

    Hi,
    In the last couple of days I have found that I can't shut down. When trying to open Finder I get the following message... The application Finder can't be opened - 10810.
    Everything else seems to be OK. However I do have to sign in to Google Mail every time, where in the past it opened up automatically.  I am a really novice at fixing problems, so any help would be great.

    The application Finder can't be opened -10810
    "A number of people are having a problem where the Finder will hang or crash, followed by a Finder error message saying "The application Finder.app can't be opened. -10810." The general agreement among affected users seems to be that this is spurred mainly when accessing external drives, but there could be a few other related reasons."

  • The application "Finder" can't be opened. -600

    I found tons of forums talking about the -10810 issues but never found one talking about -600
    I had recently clean installed mountain lion, soon after that I got this 'the application "finder" can't be opened" issues. Some says it happens after the lateast 10.8.2 update. A forum says the solution is delete the finder prefs file. I did and everything was fine for 2 weeks then it happened again just now. When I search for answers online again, I noticed everyone's discussing the problem -10810, but my macbook pro pop up -600 instead:
    The application "Finder" can't be opened.
    -600
    So I don't know if the -10810 solution will be the same as -600 issues
    I can open folders by double clicking it. However when I click the Finder.app dock icon, it will not switch to Finder, but if I use Command + Tab, it'll switch to Finder.app
    Also if I click "open in finder" on the dock's stacks, the above -600 error message pops up, so Finder still works but cannot open from dock actions.
    I can forced quit Finder but it cannot be open again from the dock icon, it doesn't solve the issue even if I reboot my Macbook Pro.
    Is there any solutions? or I just need to keep deleting the finder's preps everytime this happens?

    This happens to me on various apps. Firefox, Calculator, really any app. Randomly. The -600 dialog can not be focused though it is always on top. So I can't click "ok" ... I can't find the process in the terminal to kill it either. Fortunately I can save my work... But the only option I have is to restart the machine. It has to be the most annoying bug I think I've ever seen and nearly renders OS X useless.

  • Big trouble with "The application 'Firefox' can't be opened

    Hello
    I have a big problem. I cannot use firefox, either quit it or use this application. If I want use firefox than I get the Information "The Application firefox can't be opened -600". And also I cannot close my macbook Pro (alas it is a Retina) or trying reboot. It still stands and nothing changing on the desktop from the macbook. I have red some some problems with the probably solutions how can fix it, but I'm afraid about, that I would make a big mistake and destroy the macintosh Marverics System that I have.
    Please. I need help !
    Thank you!
    Canno92

    This Step failed a lots of time. I tried everything in my mind. I tried to do this step you suggest me now, and nothing (some tries before) happened. What can I do to not have the message "the application firefox cannot be opened - 600" ? Its really **** that that happened now..
    I tried to reboot - nothing changed
    I tried quit the application - nothing changed
    I tried to hold he "shut down" button - nothing has changed or has shut down
    I tried go to system preferences/application/ and tried to trash the application - nothing changed, because the application is still working/or in use. And this s*** is really confusing me. Therefore I can not use firefox, not trash the application because it is in use, or either close the application to shut down or restart/reboot my macbook Pro.
    Any other suggestions? If possible, than it would be very kindly.
