When I open Pages, Numbers the template chooser doesn't open, some other finder type window opens.

Any way to turn it back on after ML install? In preferences the template chosser is selected and can't be unselected.

I assume you've applied the iWork 9.2 updater as well as upgrading to Mountain Lion. By default, ML & iWork assume you want to open a file on iCloud. If you don't have an iCloud account you can turn this off by unchecking Documents & Data in System Preferences > iCloud. Otherwise, the easiest way would be to type ⌘ ⇧ N to bring up the template chooser.
Or it could just be that the preference files are corrupt, but it does seem odd that they would both do it at the same time.

  • When I open Pages the template chooser doesn't open even though i have chosen that in preferences

    In Pages preferences, I have chosen to open the template chooser window, but for some reason when I open Pages, it continually opens in a finder type window and I have to choose "new document" and then I will get the template chooser window...is this correct?

    Thank you so much, Picas!  I was going crazy thinking I had corrupted some preference...I am new to Macs!

    When I open Pages from the Dock,  the page comes up on the screen but immediately hangs up with the rainbow circle spinning.  I finally have to force quite to make it go away.  It does not ask me to choose a template.  This is sporadic, sometimes working, sometimes not.  What is going on?

    Helo,
    Did you try to delete Pages' preferences file(s) in the folder your-user-name/Library/Preferences ?
    There are one or more (depends on your OS X version) file like "com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist"
    You can also repair permissions with Disk Utility in the folder Applications/Utilities.
    Choose the hard drive were Pages is and click the button "Repair permissions".
    Or you can re-install Pages.
    Hope this will help.

  • How do you open a new document from the template chooser?

    Hi There,
    Since upgrading to Yosemite, I can't find the option to open a new document from the template chooser. When I type in "template" in the help box it shows it under "file" But when I click on "File" I don't see that option.
    Basically, I'm trying to ask how do you access the templates in the new pages?
    Thanks so much

    Check your preferences and make sure Show Template Chooser is selected:
    Then just choose New from the File menu.

  • I'm a Dropbox user and I migrate between my iMac and a Toshiba notebook.  Is there Apple software that will work on the notebook allowing me to open Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents that I've placed in Dropbox?

    I'm a Dropbox user and I migrate between my iMac and a Toshiba notebook.  Anyone know if there is Apple software that will work on the Toshiba that will allow me to open Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents when I access them in Dropbox? 
    Maybe I should just always export from Pages into Word  (and likewise for the other types) before I upload to Dropbox?  I hope not!!

    If you don't want to export files and consider the Microsoft formats to be your basic working format, then you need to consider either using MsOffice for Mac or LibreOffice instead of the iWork suite.
    You could always run a virtualised OSX on the Toshiba, but I don't think Apple will appreciate me telling you how to do that.

  • TS1398 my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to the internet(wi-fi) with full signal strength but freezes when browsing and says "Cannot Open Page, Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding".

    my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to wi-fi with full signal(3 bars) strength but freezes when browsing and says
    "Cannot Open Page"
    "Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding"
    I already reset the iphone to its factory settings and erase all contents but still the browsing speed freezes or not searching at all. Sometimes it will work and fast but then the problem uccors every now and then. Iv'e been using iphone 4 for two years and I still have it and works fine compared to this IPHONE 4S.

    Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
    IF that does not work -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Finally - if problem still present -
    Go to Settings>General>Reset
         Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
    The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network

  • Any way to turn off errors when updating pages from the template?

    I'm using Dreamweaver MX. My site is huge. It's an intranet
    spanning dozens of departments. Some of those departments have
    subsites that don't fall under the intranet's control, although
    they are embedded within our site's folder structure. When I make a
    change to the template and update pages, every time I hit one of
    those subsites I get tons of errors, from "template not found" to
    "unmatched body tag". The errors that pop up each have to be
    clicked on before the updating can continue. I get hundreds of
    these.
    Is there any way to make errors not pop up while updating
    pages from the template? Or even to exclude certain folders from
    being checked? (Cloaking doesn't do it.)

    > I'm using Dreamweaver MX. My site is huge.
    Both of these are problems, I'm afraid. Combining that with
    templates is
    really trouble.
    > "unmatched body tag".
    Errors such as this are definitely caused by errors in your
    page itself.
    Can you show me a page where you would get this?

    Valid code will not produce these errors. Unfortunately, the
    only way to
    avoid them is to remove any validation hiccups from your
    pages.

  • Open Number document with template chooser

    Hi
    I have written a script that merges an address book group to a numbers document. I would like it to automatically open a Numbers document preferably with a chosen template (this would help with a label script).
    If Numbers is not set to open through the template choser, Yvan Koenig's new document script works great (thanks Yvan). But it does not work with the template chooser activated. Is there a way to script the template chooser?
    MIke

    Unfortunately, no. Pages will always open up with something, either a blank document, a document you create, or an Apple template.

  • I downloaded Maverick and now I can't open pages from the Dock.  The Pages icon just jumps up and down abut doesn't open.  However, I can one pages by clicking on the App. I have an iMac with iWork 08.

    Since upgrading to Maverick from Mountain Lion I am unable to open Pages from the Dock.  When I click on the pages icon in the dock the icon just keeps bouncing up and down.  However, I can open pages by clicking on the icon in the Apps folder.  No problems prior to upgrading to Maverick.

    Quit Pages. Drag its icon out of the Dock. Create a new one by dragging the application into the Dock. Test.

  • Can't Open Pages, Numbers or Keynote through iCloud on my PC

    Went to my PC this morning and logged into iCloud. I noticed a new ICON for iCloud Drive. Never saw it before. I tried to open Pages to update a document and couldn't open Pages, Numbers or Keynote. I was greeted with the picture below.Without any warning Apple is telling me if I want to ever see these documents again on my PC I must update all my devices to IOS 8 immediately and then activate iCloud Drive on all devices. Not something I wanted to see on a day I needed my presentations for a client. How can we ever trust Apple again with significant documents? Have any of you experienced this?

    For those of you who woke up this morning and tried to access Pages, Numbers or Keynote on your PC running Windows XP. Sorry the party is over and it ended without warning from Apple.
    Here is an update just confirmed by an Apple Senior Advisor.
    This is what Apple did without warning.
    1. Took Pages, Numbers and Keynote documents and moved them to iCloud Drive making them NO LONGER AVAILABLE on a PC just by logging into iCloud.com.
    2. Gave us an option to view them on a PC only after you upgrade all your devices that use those apps to IOS 8.
    3. You then must activate iCloud drive on your devices and PC but only if you are not running WINDOWS XP because iCloud Drive is not supported on a PC running XP.
    Conclusion, if you have a PC running WINDOWS XP hurray up and purchase WINDOWS 8 and upgrade your PC, then upgrade all your iDevices to IOS 8 then activate iCloud Drive and you may be able to once again see your documents on a PC. I don't know who will pay you for the day off to do all this but that's not Apples concern. They are to busy hyping the new iPhone to worry about keeping you in business. It's only their business that counts.

    I cannot open pages, numbers or keynote on iCloud?

    Hi..
    Try this support article > iCloud: Troubleshooting Documents in the Cloud
    If nothing there helped, and you are using Safari to access iCloud.com...
    With Safari open, press Comand + Option + E on your keyboard to empty the Safari cache.
    Quit and relaunch Safari, try iCloud.com
    If that didn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Then quit and relaunch Safari again, try iCloud.com
    If that doesn't help, on your Mac, open System Preferecesn > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Documents & Data then reselect it. Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data then try iCloud.com.

  • Finding the template chooser

    I've set my preferences so that a new document opens the Blank template rather than the Template Chooser (I was getting tired of the TC popping up for every new document). There are times, however, that I would like to access the TC, but there's no separate access point. (On other apps you usually find an "Open From Template" menu item.)
    Am I missing something? Is there a way to access the TC without always switching out the Preferences?
