Trouble opening a document in pages, Trouble opening a document in pages

Opening documents in Pages has not been a problem until yesterday when the last two documents I tried to open failed with the following message.
The Required Index.xm1 fils is missing.
Also to re download pages dod I have to trash and then remove the program from trash in order to re download
Operating on iMac 2.7 with Mavericks
Thanks

Ask in the ID forum. You may simply be using a feature that didn't exist in CS4 and thus is not compatible.

Trouble opening documents in word that were created in pages (even though i saved as word doc)

I know how to save documents in pages to word format, I've seen the tutorials and read things over and over again about this. However, I am creating some documents in pages, saving them as word docs, emailing them to other people who are opening up on PC with word, but the formatting and the paragraphs are all messed up. I really need help so I can get my work done and my documents I create at home in pages will open up correctly in word by others.
Thanks.

So, an update of sorts.
Turns out it's not a total hang—if I leave the ball spinning (for 30+ minutes), the open dialogue finally pops up... but it's in an empty home folder.
We seem to have some sort of corruption of the home folder file hierarchy (there's an odd folder called "99" that appeared on the root of the server's main drive—I can't get access to it, and I don't want to monkey with the permissions until I can figure out what it is) that dates from the same time that our problem popped up. The only thing that I can think of that I changed at around that time was to add a new group home folder. Might I have mucked up the file system? (Shouldn't be that easy, should it? But hey, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!)
Any thoughts or suggestions? Could the problems (the phantom folder and the spinning ball of almost-doom) be related? Or am I simply dealing with a pair of peculiarities that are unrelated, or that are both symptoms of yet another problem, rather than cause and effect?
Thanks to everyone who's chimed in so far for you input!
But, to reiterate, help!

Trouble opening a recent Pages 5.0 document.

Hello there, any help gratefully accepted.
I've been working on a story in Pages for several months now. I've stored it in iCloud so that I don't have to worry about losing it. Everything's been fine for months. Yesterday, after finishing my work, shut down machine for the evening (normally I leave pages open and just put the mac to sleep each night). This morning, tried to get back to work after restarting machine. Can't find my document in recents in pages. When I navigate to it from a Mavericks tag, all I see is a series of files, (index, data and metadata). Any idea how I can open the original file and get back to work? Thanks, Nye

It's just one of the many, many features that have been eliminated or changed. Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu.

Trouble opening Pages documents

Help! I can't open any of my Pages documents. I get this message: The required index.xml file is missing. I don't use the Cloud. Anyone know what's causing this? I'm not using an I-Pad or anything. I just started having this problem on my Mavericks computer this evening. I understand how to move Pages '08 documents to '09 and then to the current version. This is actually not happening with those documents alone. It's happening even with new documents I create in the current version of Pages. I've wasted hours and hours on two documents I now cannot open!

Thanks for the help and feedback, folks! VikingOSX, your answer was completely over my head, but I tried replacing (pages) with (.docx) and in the process realized what my problem was. I had created a new pages document in Pages 5.2.2 and saved it. Then when I tried to open it later, I had the Pages '09 application already open, and that application couldn't read it. I closed Pages '08, '09, and the newest version, then changed the ending back to (.pages) and double clicked on the document. It automatically opened using 5.2.2.
So, short story is, if I create something in my newest version, I have to make sure all old versions of the application are closed, otherwise they'll try to open my document and give me the message that it needs an xml file.
VikingOSX, thanks for making me walk through a process that eventually led to the answer, even if it wasn't exactly the answer you provided! MUCH APPRECIATED. YOU SAVED ME HOURS OF WORK.

Trouble opening a just created Pages file.....error message says I need a newer version of Pages......Apple Store says I have version 5.0.......opening an older Pages file it says I have version 4.3.......can not find any way to try another upgrade to 5.0

Personally, I would not recommend deleting/removing the iWorks 09 folder for several reasons: one is that the new versions have had several functionalities removed and until you decide that you can work with the new one and do not miss any features the older version had, I would leave the old one in place. Personally, I will not be using the new versions.
The second reason is that you can accomplish what you want using a different approach: simply open a Get Info window of your document and choose which version of Pages you want this to open in - you can also stipulate that all docs like this are opened with whichever particular version.
FWIW: Once you have edited an old document in the new Pages version, you can no longer open it in the older version. However, you can still export it to the old version.

I'm having trouble opening pages through javascript.

Whenever I try to open a website that requires javascript, a warning message pops up: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (javascript) isn't associated with any program."
However, when I went to options to see if javascript was enabled, it was checked.

I am having trouble viewing iStore. It appears as if its a Flash issue, as several minutes after logging in to iStore I get a non-flash page of iStore in my iTunes window. I have re-installed everything and tried opening all ports in router....any ideas?

I am having trouble viewing iStore. It appears as if its a Flash issue, as several minutes after logging in to iStore I get a non-flash page of iStore in my iTunes window. I have re-installed everything and tried opening all ports in router, and used msconfig to bring up each service individually to see if there is an effect.Flash and iTunes have been re-installed ...any ideas?

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

Firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page. What can I do?

After opening certain websites, pogo, firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
I have had this problem before and had to reinstall an earlier version of firefox.
The error console has a long list of errors, many of them end with: does not implement nsIObserver. Is there a way to send the information on the error console to firefox support?
Redownloading Firefox 4.0 will fix my problem until I either close firefox or turn off my computer. The problem recurs when I open firefox again.

See:

It is also possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."

Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." My friend made sure that the files in question opened without issue on his computer (a PC). Further, I was able to open one of these "damaged" files on my Android phone, but I cannot open them on the Macbook Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

I have trouble opening PDF documents with Firefox. They will open using IE8 and with the older version of Firefox but not with the new version of Firefox.

Specifically, I am trying to open brokerage statements with Charles Schwab. I go to the link using Firefox and click and all I get is a blank box with ABOUT: BLANK in the header at the top. Yet, I had no trouble viewing the statements with the older version of Firefox and I also have no problem viewing the document using Internet Explorer. Any help you can offer is appreciated. I would rather continue to use Firefox as my browser and not have to use IE.

Hi cheperrumps,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Uninstalling or reinstalling the iTunes application won't affect your music (data) -- but it's always a good idea to have a backup!

MacPro 2.5 GHx, Intel Core 2 Duo, running snow leopard 10.6.7 --Firefox asked me to upgrade, that's when troubles began -- when I open FX, get my default page, then it freezes, disallows any page changes, links die, no page scrolling.

Please, I need help! Working on a MacPro 2.5 GHx, Intel Core 2 Duo, running snow leopard 10.6.7 --
Last week, Firefox asked me to upgrade, that’s when my troubles began -- Now when open Firefox, I get my default page, and then it freezes, disallows any page changes, the links die, no page scrolling --
The only unusual aspect to my previous Firefox configuration, was that I installed a NO SCRIPT thing to get past the New York Times paywall — and I don’t understand how to un-install that, assuming that’s the issue --
Have downloaded and re-installed Firefox, don’t think this has helped in any way, HELP please?!? Thanks, george.

That would at least partially explain it.
These MacBook Pros drew more power than the power brick could readily supply, and so would only run at top speed when the power brick was supplemented by the battery.
Though the applicable tech note has been removed, it stated:
"If the battery is removed from a MacBook or MacBook Pro, the computer will automatically reduce the processor speed. This prevents the computer from shutting down if it demands more power than the A/C adapter alone can provide."

Hello guys. I'm having trouble opening Instagram pages with Safari.

Hello guys. I'm having trouble opening Instagram pages with Safari. I try to open them and it seems to be loading for one second, but then it's all blank, there's nothing on the screen. Funny thing is, when I try to open an Instagram page that doesn't exist, it opens the Instagram NOT FOUND page. I don't know what's going on. I've tried everything, from software updates to restarting my Mac etc. Please help.

Is this the site you are referring to > http://instagram.com
Because that site refers you to apps for smartphone devices. Not for your Mac.
Regardless of the Instagram website, v10.5.4 is an outdated version of Safari. You need to update your system software.
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
Restart your Mac after the updates are installed, then try Instagram on Safari.
