WARNING - Saving file in Pages 09 format may corrupt your file - WARNING

I used Pages '09 to create and maintain a test log covering some 16 hours of testing effort.
Now that I want to open the file Pages reports: The document "Parallels Test" couldn't be opened.
I was still able to QuickView the document in Finder.
Renaming the .pages to .zip and looking inside I was able to retrieve the Preview.pdf file and print it.
(Thanks to KOENIG's instructions to another thread in this forum)
Lucky for me I use Time Machine and save frequently so I was able to retrieve an earlier version of the document that Pages '09 could open.
So the lost work was minimal.
However when I save the file with my updates Pages 09 is not able to open it.
So I now save the document in Pages 08 format and everything works fine.
I'm gonna stop using Pages 09 format until Apple have fixed this issue.

Re reading your first message I'm not sure of what was available in the 'corrupted' file.
If there was no index.xml file, I can't help.
I may report the fact but without precise infos about what was done, it would be inefficient.
If you kept a copy of the 'corrupted' document, may you send it to my mailbox.
Click my bluename to get my address.
I will look in the internals and if the index.xml can't be read I will send a report with the doc to Apple Bugs Hunters.
Are you storing the doc on a Hard disk or are you storing on a network?

  • After updating os to 10.9.1can't open pdf files.  I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email.  Any help would be appreciated.

    After updating os to OSX 10.9.1 I can't open any new pdf files.  I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email.  Also can't attach a pdf to an email to send out.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 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.

  • Hello.  May I ask:  I am using Acrobat 6.0.2, and having trouble formatting a PDF created from multiple (jpeg) files.  Each page is formatted to A4 size, portrait.  But when I create the PDF, each sheet appears as tiny, in the middle of a huge white page.

    Hello.  May I ask:  I am using Acrobat 6.0.2, and having trouble formatting a PDF created from multiple (jpeg) files.  Each page is formatted to A4 size, portrait.  But when I create the PDF, each sheet appears as tiny, in the middle of a huge white page.  I cannot seem to find any controls to adjust this.  Any advice appreciated.

    Thanks CtDave, for the further info.  Unfortunately, those suggestions are not working, which is strange.
    ....Until last week, I used to make multi-page PDFs straight from Photoshop: File > Automate > Make PDF.  One simply choses the files, orders them, and creates a PDF.  (Resolution doesn't matter; 300 DPI is no problem.)  However, my new Photoshop CS5 does not have the option in Automate.
    What I've done, seeing as Acrobat is letting me down, is use Bridge (new to me) to create the PDF.  It worked without a problem, but seems like more work than the old PS method.  I will download a newer version of Acrobat to see if that makes any difference.
    .....Also, thanks Test Screen Name:  I agree with you that jpeg is irrelevant, and that one can make a PDF from Photoshop (Print > Save As - pdf).  But that only works for SINGLE PAGE pdf, not multiple pages as far as I can tell.
    Kind regards,
    Prince Nuada

  • File-Save window(saving the html page by clicking a button)

    Hi,
    when I click a button, a window should open which is same as the one which appears when we click File-save.
    This should happen to save the data that is displayed on the internetExplorer, when the user clicks the submit button on his page.(ie,Saving  the html page in his desired location).
    Thanks in advance.

    Refer FileDownload and FileUpload tutorial.
    If the idea is just to save the html page, I am not sure if it is possible.
    If the idea is to save the data in the html page then you can save it as xml format or csv format. Refer to the following tutorials:
    a) FileUpload and FileDownload
    b) Web Dynpro Binary cache

  • Are there any problems saving files in Pages for iPad?

    I have a new iPad, and I need to chose a wordprocessing App. Friends have advised me that there may be a difficulty saving files from Pages. If so then is there a recommendation for a different wordprocessing App ?

    I use Pages every day on my iPad. I have had great success with it.
    I use it with iCloud, and I use it on my Mac. I have created documents on the Mac, saved them to iCloud, opened them on the iPad, edited them there, saved that back to iCloud, opened them in the IOS Beta in iCloud.com, downloaded them to my Mac at work, and so on and so on...
    I have used Pages every way that you can possibly use it with iCloud, iCloud.com, and locally on my Macs. No problems whatsoever.
    Pages documents are saved automatically on the iPad as are all documents in all apps - at least as afar as I know. You do not have to actually save them on your own... no Save As... no Save commands at all in tha app. They are saved automatically with the last set of edits that you make in place.

  • I am unable to retrieve spreadsheets.  Numbers displays the "Welcome To Numbers" page but does not allow saved spreadsheets to be opened.  It offers the "Open Recent" choice and displays saved file names but does not allow these files to be accessed.

    I recently upgraded to Numbers 3.5.2.  I have an older Macbook Pro (2009) and I run Yosemite 10.10.2.  I am unable to open any saved files that were created with earlier versions of Numbers.  When I open the Numbers app, I am offered the Welcome To Numbers page.  When I choose the 'Open Recent' option, I am offered the greyed names of files that I had recently used, however, I am unable to open any of these files (no error message is displayed).  Welcome To Numbers stays on the screen.  I tried opening the app by clicking on the file name but it produced the same results.  I am having a similar problem with Pages.   I suspect a compatibility problem between the new OSX and the new iWork offerings.   Has anyone else encountered this problem?  Does it require a setting change or is it a bug?

    I managed to download and install the iWork '09 apps.  However, when I attempt to open the app, I receive this error message:
    Numbers cannot be opened because of a problem.
    Check with the developer to make sure Numbers works with this version of OS X.  You may need to reinstall the application.  Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X.
    Problem Details and Configuration:
    Process:          Numbers [39838]
    Path:               /Applications/iWork '09/Numbers.app/Contents/Mac OS/Numbers
    Identifier:          com.apple.iWork.Numbers

    Code Type:     X86 (Native)
    Parent Process:  ??? [1]

    Any thoughts as to what has to happen next?  I am running the latest OS X available (Yosemite 10.10.2)

  • Pages (iWorks '09) version is hanging on opening files as well as saving files.  On opening it eventually opens but on Saving it will never save.

    All of a sudden today, Pages has developed a problem on opening and saving files on my Macbook Pro 13.  I tried updating to the newest version of Pages weks ago but it really messed with the formatting of documents I had already been using so I am working from the iWorks 09 version of Pages.  I can't use the newest version.   To complete my background, I use Pages every day sometimes several times a day and that has been true all along up to yesterday.
    When opening any saved Pages files, to include a blank pages document, the program hangs up for over a minute with the spinning wheel.  I have no other programs running.  Once the document opens, I can work as usual and nothing is slowed.  Upon saving, the spinning wheel comes up and the program will not save.  I have had it open for 10 minutes or more with the spinning wheel and Pages refuses to Save.  I have to Force Quit Pages.  Now when the spinning wheel comes up on Save, I can do anything else with my computer I want.  The other programs on the laptop are not affected.  Saving is not affected on other programs.
    I read on another forum to try Keynote to see if there is a problem with all of iWorks 09.  I did that and Keynote works perfectly with no problems opening and saving files like a champ.  I have turned my laptop off and then on and the problem continues.
    I also read to delete the plist files in Preferences and let Pages rebuild.  I did that and the problem continues.  I then read to use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.  I did that and the problem continues.
    I have not reloaded Pages from my purchase disk but I've also read that that doesn't necessarily eliminate problems that might be elsewhere.  Thank you in advance for your help.

    As the day progressed, all other files quit being able to save to the desktop.  As I tried to diagnose the issue, I went through the Repair Disk in Disk Utilities and was told by that program to close and use the disk repair from Recovery HD (CMD + R upon reboot).  I did that and was eventually told the HDD was too far gone to repair.  I reformatted and restored from Time Machine following the instructions given.  All is good now after 24 hours of work.  I have no idea what happened but I'm not feeling real safe about my mac today.  I have an SSD on order.

  • I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file

    I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

    Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
    You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X  or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

  • Getting error "Cannot open the file "*****.INDD". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."

    How to fix this problem
    "Cannot open the file "*****.INDD". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."

    When I have seen this message it is either when I try to open a document with an older version of Indesign E.g. an indesign 2014 document with Indesign CC.
    The other time I have seen it is to open an Indesign CC document with Indesign 2014 which does not have Mindsuite - a plugin I use. Mindsuite, as yet, has not upgrade the plugin for Indesign 2014 therefore it recognises that a the document was created withe a plugin that the 2014 version does not have installed.
    I believe your problem will be something like that.

  • Will files saved on an external HD, formatted for Mac, be readable on a Windows machine?

    Will files saved on an external HD, formatted for Mac, be readable on a Windows machine?

    Only if the Windows computer has software such as MacDrive installed or the drive is hooked up to a Mac or AirPort Extreme and shared over a network.

  • Saving file format - suddenly having problems

    Hi all,
    I have been using PSE9 on my Intel iMac (OS 10.5.8) for a couple of weeks, and yesterday I started experiencing the following problems:
    (In Full Edit Mode)
    1) When trying the "Save As" command after working on an image, I was getting a message saying that my user account was not authorized to make changes, yet there is only one account on this computer.
    2) Shift-Command-S brings up the Save As window, but no matter what format I choose, it stays .jpg! I tried on a couple of different pictures, same results.
    Initially, I was able to save in PSD format when I moved the new file to a different location, i.e. instead of saving the new file in the original folder, I copied to desktop, but that's not working now.
    I opened PSE Preferences for Saving Files, and checked off append files with extensions "always" and "OK", but when I go back to the same Preference Panel, it has reverted to Never, which is the default position. I am wondering if this is the source of my problems.
    I have tried:
    placing the Preference files for PSD and Organizer in the trash and re-launching PSE9.
    Trashing Preference files, then restarting the computer and re-launching PSE9.
    Uninstalled PSE 6.
    Uninstalled PSE 9 and performed a reinstall off the CD. I was able to Save As a PSD file for a day, now back to the same situation, also still getting an error message if I try to save a JPG file in the folder of origin for that image.
    What should I do next?
    Martin

    Yes. It is a known bug. Your options are to trash the prefs again and never, never, never open the Saving Files preferences pane again (just going there causes this), or to add the file extension in manually when saving. (The default position is Always, but merely opening the saving files preference sets it to Never.)

  • Pages crashes when saving files in mavericks

    I have a 17" macbookpro and have installed mavericks on it about 2 months ago.
    It has become extremely slow and when I am using the new pages it crashes frequently. Usually, when I duplicate a file in order to rename it and then try to save the original, pages crashes everys ingle time.
    I just got back from a genius bar apptmt and was told that I probably need to erase and reinstall.
    I would like ot just solve the pages issue, as it will take me forever to do an erase and reinstall of mavericks.
    Anyhelp is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    What version of Pages?
    Have you Validated your fonts in Font Book?
    Also make sure you have at least 10-15% space free on your hard drive, OSX likes lots of elbow room to write temporary files.
    Are you using Time Machine/ and/or iCloud? That can also slow your work down dramatically.

  • Garbage characters in begining of Mac saved file

    I'm new to the Mac environment and Dreamweaver so please
    excuse me if this is a simple issue to solve. I've been having
    issues with Dreamweaver inserting garbage characters in the
    beginning of a file created and saved. In IE6 and 7, the pages do
    not format correctly due to these garbage characters. When I save a
    new file in Dreamweaver and copy it over to a PC, the garbage
    characters show up in any editor . Is there a setting in
    Dreamweaver to correct this issue?
    Below is the saved code..notice the garbage in front of the
    Ôªø@charset "UTF-8";
    /* CSS Document */
    body{ margin: 0; padding: 0;font-family: "Lucida Grande",
    Lucida, Verdana, sans-serif; height: 100%; font-size: 12px;
    background-image: url(../images/cmt_talentapp_bg.jpg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;}
    a { text-decoration: none; color: #109cd9; }
    a.hover { text-decoration: underline; }
    #pageContainer { width: 945px; height: auto; border: 0px
    solid green; float: left; padding-left: 5px; padding-top: 0px;
    margin-top: 0px;}
    #headerContainer { padding: 0 10px 0 10px; width: 920px;

    #contentArea { width: 710px; padding: 20px 0 30px 0; border:
    1px red solid; float: left; height: auto; }

    It's just a shoot in the dark. Deending on your settings, DW
    may insert a
    BOM:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_Order_Mark
    At the beginning of UTF-8 encoded files.
    You may check your settings and try to change them to suit
    your needs, then
    see if the problem goes away.
