Unable to open .doc in Pages

Recently I had my laptop fixed at Apple. From this, they wiped everything out and upgraded all of my software. I came home and updated all of my iWorks programs - pages, numbers, keynote. When I typed up a document in Pages I exported it and saved it as a word document. Normally I can open the document back up after it was converted to a word document however, now I am unable to open up any of my documents which have been saved to a .doc. With this being said, I basically cannot open up any of my work which needs to be edited. What can I do to fix this problem?

An immediate remedy would be to download Libre Office, then you can work while investigating Pages issues.

    After updating to Maverick on my Mac - unable to open numbers or pages docs on iPad or iPhone any suggestions or info?

    I Just found it on the apple site, it arrived on a cd a few days later and worked just fine again.
    i would recommend backing everything up just in case. Better safe than sorry, trust me. I've lost so much when i didnt back up once when re-installing the system.
    IT shoulldnt erase everything, bt it might, so back up just in case
    should you loose everything, then i have some tips on moving stuff fromyour iphone/ipod to the computer

    Not sure, but MacKeeper is trash and could be the source of it, among any other problems you may be having.  I suggest you uninstall it immediatley: http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/

  • Can't open doc in Pages iWork 9 / SL 10.6.6

    Hiya,
    Already read dosen of similar topics but can't find my case.
    So I installed iWork for work with doc files and the first one I can't open. It writes Unknown Error/ Invalid import. I've tried another, light doc - it was successfully opened. Maybe the first one can't be open because it has a lot of graphics, tables, etc?
    What do you think, lads? Any solution?

    Thanks, I got it. Cyrillic makes the document coded to me .
    OK, Pages can't open it but TextEdit can, but then I tried it in LibraOffice and found out that it had pages in both portrait and landscape orientation. That is probably the reason to Pages being unable to open it. It also had these typical long tables with cells spanning over several pages but that wouldn't give the error message.

  • Can't open .doc on Pages anymore...!!

    I have Pages 2.0.2 which I used to open and send .doc files...recently...after I was told by someone in this forum that it was OK to get rid of an old 'Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive' folder since I didn't buy it after the trial period, I have found that when I create a Pages flyer and export it to Word, it doesn't show any text or graphics anymore....
    Since I have already flushed the trashed Office folder I sincerely HOPE that I wasn't misinformed and have lost this capability to translate Word in and out of my Mac....
    Comments....??

    The fact that the .doc icon 'has even changed' is a consequence of deleting the Word folder. The finder used to have an association between those file types and the Word application that is no longer present.
    When you installed Word, part of that process was to associate .doc file types with the Word application so that the Finder would automatically open files of that type with Word. Hence the message about the trial expiry.
    A standard part of OS X is that you can take any file and drag it to another application. If the application will open that file type (which Pages will in this case) it will open it.
    If I understand you right, you are exporting a file from Pages as .doc and then trying to re-open it in Pages. My questions remain.
    1. Did you ever try that before with this particular document that is giving you trouble?
    2. Have you tried another Word document maybe created on a PC to verify the import into Pages is working?
    3. Have you tried exporting something different (maybe simpler) from Pages as a .doc and opening it?
    I'm not 100% certain but I thought that there was an uninstall program that came with the office test drive. It might be worth installing it again and running that uninstall to properly remove all traces of Office. I'm sceptical of the possibility that this is causing you problems but it's worth trying.
    I'd also recommend that now is a good time to do a backup.
    Finally if all this doesn't yield anything, reinstall iWork.

  • "Unable to open" WhatsApp download page, or download Appworld

    Hello,
    I have a Blackberry Z10 device.
    My problems began earlier today when WhatsApp prompted me update it because the application is too old. When I pressed the "Update WhatsApp" link within WhatsApp, strangely nothing happened (it has always worked previously). So I thought I would instead download WhatsApp from the WhatsApp website, http://whatsapp.com/download . To my surprise, when I entered this URL in the browser it said "Unable to open appworld://content/2360?" I then realized that maybe my Blackberry Appworld has been accidentally deleted at some point because I can't find it on my phone.
    So my next step was to reboot the phone and then try to download Appworld again from this link: www.blackberry.com/appworld/download
    The page opened and told me "Visit www.blackberry.com/appworld/download from your smartphone to download." Of course, I already had this very page open on my phone, so that was a dead end. I went for the second option, to enter my email address integrated with my Blackberry smartphone and have a download link sent to me.
    The link that arrived in my inbox was: http://mobileapps.blackberry.com/devicesoftware/en​try.do?code=appworld
    When I pressed this link from my smartphone, I was taken to a page that said, "Downloads via a USB connection are not enabled for this product. Please visit our mobile download site using the browser on your Blackberry." But I WAS on the mobile download site using the browser on my Blackberry. Nevertheless, even when I pressed the link to this mobile download site it brought me back to the same page about the USB connection. My phone was not plugged in with a USB cable at the time.
    So I'm now at a loss as to how to proceed with re-installing Appworld and, subsequently, WhatsApp. Assistance is appreciated!

  • Unable to open an '08 Pages document

    Up until today I had no trouble opening Pages documents submitted to Blackboard, the college academic suite. I could open them, and return them with annotations for correction. But this semester one student with Pages '08 had difficulty, because being unaware of the student's version of Pages, I would return the annotated document saved as Pages '09, and the student was unable to open it. In Pages '09 there is no notification that a Pages '08 document is being opened.
    Now the student submits Pages '08 documents in a way that I cannot open them at all. If I attempt to open the student document with Pages '08, this message appears:
    +You need a newer version of Pages to open this document.+
    I tried opening the same student document with Pages '09 and this message appears:
    +The document "---- .pages" could not be read. The document does not have a valid format.+
    Opening the student document's Information window, Pages '09 (version 4.0.3) is the default application. Under "more info" the "where from" details are as follows:
    http://bb.grcc.edu:80/courses/1/SP101.4784.F09/attempt/29502701/s/(student name).pages?bsession=11755035&bsessionstr=session_id=11755035,user_id_pk1=37601,user_id_sos_id_pk2=1,one_timetoken=, https://bb.grcc.edu/webapps/blackboard/assignments/instructor/gradeassignment.jsp?course_id=_92633_1&outcomeDefinitionId=_312408_1&courseMembership Id=_23108551_1&cancelGradeUrl=%2fwebapps%2fgradebook%2fdo%2finstructor%2fviewGra deDetails&source=cp_gradebook2_view_grade_details&attempt_id=_29502701
    Does anyone have an idea what I need to do?

    I notice you say you have something on iOS 7.1 which does not work with Pages '08.
    Peter
    As I recall, the dropdown menu had no option for os 10.6.8. The sending computer works on os 10.7.5 and the receiving computer operates on 10.6.8. Both iMacs. The Pages app was downloaded from the same CD some time ago. The CD purchase was for three computers and has worked well until recently. No recent upgrades. Are the OSystems above compatible?  Frank

  • Open .doc with Pages

    I am trying to make Pages the default app when opening .doc (MS Word) files. I try selecting a .doc file in Finder, Get Info, and select Pages from the "Open with" drop-down list and Pages is displayed. When I click "Change All...", then "continue" on the confirmation dialog, the drop down box immediately switched back to Microsoft Word and nothing is changed.
    Any Ideas on this would be much appreciated!

  • Unable to open documents in pages for iPad

    I use iWork for work on a regular basis. All my documents are organized in folders. Some of my documents show inside their respective folders but I'm unable to open them. For example in one folder I have 12 documents raging from January thru December and I can see all of them, but when I click on December to open it doesn't do anything. Clicking on edit doesnt let me highlight it either. I can't delete it or open it. When logging in to iCloud the documents dont even show on there. Fortunetly I can recreate the damaged documents but I can't get rid of them. Anyone having the same issue who has successfully deleted these? Thanks

    Hi Ankit,
    Thank you for your advice, but Im still having problems.
    Back to the OP.  To avoid the threads getting confused, I suggest the other user starts a new one?
    I have tried ensuring that PDFs are automatically opened by Adobe.  I used the path you suggested.  However, I'm still having the same problem.
    When I went to do this, Adobe was listed in the "recommended" list of products with which to open PDF files.  However, I ignored this and followed your guidance.  Once I had done, nothing happened (i.e. Adobe icon was not added to the 'Other products' list below the 'Recommended').
    To me, this speaks of either a bad installation or bad association in which something is causing Adobe not to recognise itself.
    What else can you advise?
    Is there, for instance, a way to have a clean removal of Adobe, and then reinstall?  I don't even know if this will work. 

  • Unable to open a new page  with transparent background.

    I must have hit something (or maybe several things), because suddenly I can't open a new page in Photoshop (CS2). I can see it's picking up  the white background color (from the lower left corner of the tool menu), but I can't figure out how to change it. Also  noticed that  my camera is suddenly automatically savings  pix  as jpgs (instead of tiffs) which I think I read somewhere prevents removing the white background color . . . but even if I start by trying to create an empty transparent background and  pasting my graphic into it (which is what I usually do), it still loads as a white one.
    After fighting with the software for the past 2 hours, maybe I'm just too confused to see the obvious. I  do know how to get a transparent background  when all is running smoothly. (Have been doing it for years, without running into problems.) It's figurng out what the problem is tonight that has  me running in circles. The answer probably is staring me in the face, but  if it is, I can't see it. I need  help . . . PLEASE!

    Yes. When I select  all and edit/clear  the screen stays white.
    Unfortuantely, it alsois not allowing me to grab a screen shot. I've tried both keystrokes and "Grab" (in  Application Utilities.)
    But the  image in the layers panel is easy to describe.
    1) When I open a new  PS document and click on transparent, the icon is a small rectangle with a double line border that has a white space midway on each side.
    Whether it is active or hidden, the  box next to it just says "layer 1" (i.e., not background.
    In this mode, the Transparency & Gamut settings  show the following:
    Grid Size    Medium
    Grid Colors  Light
    Below that are 2 empty boxes
    In the bottom section, Gamut Warning shows a darkened out  Square. A both ends of the Opacity bar (1% and 100%) it remains unchanged.
    When I add an image, it does not add a layer. The icon just changes to a thumbnail of the image.
    If I don't change them, the  Transparency  & Gamut  pane remains unchanged.
      point, I'm running out of time, so would switch to  that other Adobe  Application  (with fewer options and tools, which came on the same disk as another Adobe  graphic program ), but can't search for  it on my computer because I don't remember it's name.  But since it's not in the application folder, if it was not compatible with  System 10, I may have removed it. By any chance do you know which  application I'm referring to?

  • Unable to open docs from server on iPad using IOS6 and iWork

    Since upgrading to IOS6 in ipad 2, when I log on to my work network and try to open Excel, Word or Powerpoint files in Numbers, Pages or Keynote apps respectively, nothing happens.

So I can't access any of my work files.
