The Pages app is stuck, won't move, in  my ipad....what to do??

i was writing in pages and somehow it is stuck. nothing moves. i have  no idea what happened, although i think it happened when i was closing down the ipad.
thanks for any ideas about what to do here.

First thing to try is to force Pages to quit. Double-tap the "Home" button (bottom center of iPhone) so you get the icons of the open Apps. Press and hold on one till they start "shivering" and you get the red "-" sign. Press the red "-" on the Pages App to close it. Press the Home button again, then reopen Pages. That should work for you.
If not, try a reset of your iPhone, press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Once it has finished restarting, try opening Pages again.
Good luck.

  • TS1702 My Pages app is stuck in the update mode

    My Pages app is stuck. It is trying to do an update, but is stuck. Tap on the app icon and it says it is unable to download the app (update). I don't know how to get the app restored. The iTunes index in the help just gives me about 96 options. HELP!  Thx
    I have tried all the usual things such as a restart. Can I just delete it and reload without haveing to go thru the hastle of not having to pay for the app a second time?
    I have done all system and app updates on a regular basis.
    Thanks, Wetlandstom

    Hello, try this...
    First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • I have several very important school related documents on my iPad in the Pages app. Ever since i updated to iOS5, i can no longer open any documents in Pages that I made before I updated. Please help

    Without the iPad connected, open up iTunes on your computer.  Go to iTunes/Preferences/Devices and delete the backups that you're absolutely certain do not have the documents.  Refer to figure below.
    iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "NO" to creating a backup.  (You don't want to create a new backup that does not have the docs.)  You will then be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad.  This time, say "yes."
    Repeat all of the above as required until you get the docs.

  • How can I recover documents that were stores in the pages app?

    I have an original iPad. This evening, as I was using it, I got a message that an update was available for pages. I selected "update". It attempted to install the new pages and froze. I connect to iTunes to try to get it back to old version of pages (the new versions won't work on the original iPad) by restoring to back-up. That resulted in deleting the pages app.
    Ahhhh!!!! I need my documents! They had been backed up to iTunes and it was recently backed up to iCloud.
    Someone please help me figure out how to find my docs!!!
    THANK YOU

    Basics of File Recovery
    Files in Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location.  OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone.  Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

  • How can i save and download word documents on my ipad without the pages app

    Need to know how to save documents on my ipad so i can share the same version of documents between my computer and my ipad on the same network. I do not have the pages app. and Most of the documents are either pdfs of word docs. so need to be able to save them on ipad and retrieve them when i am on the move. Pls help?

    You have to have an app on the iPad that is compatible with the particular file type that you want to save, edit or share. You can look at any of the word processing apps - Pages is one, Documents to Go, Quick Office Pro - but you have to have one like that in order to save and edit Word files.
    With pdf files - iBooks will work to save them - but that's all. Other apps like GoodReader will let you annotate them.
    You have to decide which app will serve your needs best and them download them in order to save, edit and share those file types.

  • I recently updated my iPad now I can't access all the documents in the pages app, any advice to to get them back on my iPad?

    I recently updated my iPad now I can't access all the documents in the pages app, any advice to to get them back on my iPad?

    I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6.  That's the latest version.
    Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them.  And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore.  Sorry about this.

  • How can I access docs on a frozen Pages app? The Pages app froze up after attempted repair at the Genius bar last night.  The IPAD was having significant memory errors, and staff backed it up to the ICloud, then wiped the IPAD clean and restored the apps.

    How can I access documents on a frozen Pages app? The Pages app on my IPAD does not function after the IPAD was backed up on the ICloud, and then restored. I synced the IPAD, but this did not solve the problem.  Other apps are working, just not Pages.  Please help! These docs are badly needed for work.  Thanks so much!

    Have you tried closing the Pages app completely and seeing if it works ok when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Pages 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Pages app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Is it possible to have different headers for each page for the Pages app?

    I just purchased the Pages app for my ipad and it happens to be one of the best apps i've ever bought.  However, I'm having trouble figuring out how to have different headers for each page of the same document.  Is this possible to do?

    Tommy,
    One of the limitations of Pages for iOS on your iPad is that Pages can't create sections per se. The best you can do is insert page breaks and then assign different columns to that page. The problem comes with the headers and footers - in iOS Pages, the headers and footers apply to the whole document, not the individual sections as you would find in Pages '09 on OSX.
    The workaround is to create your document on OSX, insert the needed sections and headers, save, then transfer the Pages document to your iPad either as a working "blank" or as a new document. The headers and footers will reflect the sections you created in OS X, but you won't be able to add any new ones or new sections on your iPad.

  • I'm running Pages version 5.2 on a Desktop Mac version 10.9.2. with the Pages app open how do I use the Time Machine to go back five hours to see the work?

    I'm running Pages version 5.2 on a Desktop Mac version 10.9.2. With the Pages app open how do I use the Time Machine to go back five hours to see my page? Can I access Time Machine within an app like Pages? How do I enter Time Machine within the application? It always takes me to the Finder. I apolgise for the mumbo jumbo. I simply do not know how to use Time Machine. It makes sense when I follow the Tutorial but then I lose it.

    OK. You've kind of skipped over the reason why you want to go back five hours, but my assumption would be that you've made changes to a Pages file that you want to revert.
    There are two ways to tackle this. From Pages itself, open the current version of your document, and from the File menu, click Revert To, and Browse All Versions. You'll then be in the Time Machine interface for that file, and can browse back to the version you want.
    Or, outside of Pages, you can select the file (or the folder it was originally in, if you've since deleted it) and enter Time Machine from the TM menu (it sounds like you've already tried this?)
    best

  • How do I attach multiple files from the pages app to my email

    I'm trying to attach multiple documents from the "Pages" app to my email.  I'm using an ipad.  It is only letting me attach one at a time and send each document as individual emails.  I would like to be able to send one email with all 4 documents at the same time.  Any suggestions?
    Another thought- When I go to my gmail app to compose an email, I have the following to send:
    to:
    cc:
    subject:
    But there is not a paperclip to click to attach any documents either.  Is this all connected and something in my ipad settings needs to be adjusted?

    You can only attach one file at a time to email in the Pages app
    You cannot attach files in the mail app. If you want to email a file, you do it from within the app where the file is saved such as what you did with Pages.

  • Had to uninstall iWork trial since I bought the pages app and it wouldn't let me print or save.  Now the app store says I have pages installed but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it.  I'm not very computer savvy and am getting frustrated!

    Ooops, guess I didn't need to post everything in the title - sorry!  I bought the pages app - but couldn't save or print so with some online searching found that I had to uninstall the iWork trial which had expired.  I did that - but now I can't figure out how to re-install the pages app!!  The app store says it's installed, but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it.  I'm not very computer savvy - and am a first time Mac user and am getting extremely frustrated!  I e-mailed some help center and they can't seem to help me either.  I would appreciate any help/advice that can fix my problem - thanks in advance!!

    OK Apple has stuffed up the demo version upgrade process so the first thing you need to do is get rid of the demo.
    That includes getting rid of the files in the system.
    The instructions how to do that are here:
    Note That where you see / that is the sequence of folders, each nested inside each other.
    User/Library/Preferences the com.apple.iwork.Keynote.plist
    Means the User (you, the little home icon, whatever you are called on your computer) then the Library folder inside that and then the Preferences folder inside that.
    Lion initially hides the System folders from you so you have to go to the Finder > Menu > hold down the option key and click on GO > Library to see it.

    Thank you.  That helped in the first step.  I was able to copy text onto multiple pages.
    Now I can't get the pictures to copy.  How do I get my pictures to copy?

  • Is it possible to retrieve deleted items from the Pages App please?

    IIs it possible to retrieve deleted items from the Pages App? Thanks

    From within the Pages app, no. If you have an iTunes or iCloud backup that would have contained the file, and you are backing up Pages, it could be received via a restore using that backup (this would wipe out any newer data however).
