Why can't I open a Pages document produced yesterday?

Four days ago upgraded Pages 4.3 to Pages 5.1. Yesterday I produced a Pages document with no problem Today I can't open it, and get a message saying that I need a newer version of Pages to open it. Going into Software Updates, there is a clear meassage saying "0 upgrades available" and below it is an Icon for Pages 5.1 under which it says "Installed". Strangely, the Pages icon on my Dock opens to Pages 4.3, so I'm not too sure what has gone awry with the installation. I've shut down and restarted the computer several times since yesterday. Any advice on what to do to correct this situation would be much appreciated. Thanks very much.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.1 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong file with the wrong version.

  • Why can't I open my Pages document that I created on my new iMac, saved to the iCloud and want to open on new 4th gen ipad??

    Fresh out of the box, totally updated MacOs and iOs and I can't find my Pages created documents on iMac, inside the iPad.
    I can, however, see the reverse.  I can see a document I made on my iPad in Pages (cloud) tab on my iMac.
    Help?

    You have 2 versions of Pages (or Numbers, or Keynote) on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Hi,
    Based on my understanding, your issue is you cannot create folder in Windows 7, right?
    Did you fix it?
    This issue might be caused by corrupted system file.
    If I am right and you haven't resolve your issue, we could try the following method:

  • Why can't i open a word document on my pad

    why can't i open a word document on my pad?  I used to be able to but now I can't.  Is there a setting that I can change?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

    why can't i open an attached document (most often pps) with firefox when i can with internet explorer?

    Perhaps if you change your setting here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Applications tab
    In the search box, type '''power''' and then pause until the list is filtered. If you have these, try changing the action to "Always Ask":
    Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation<br>
    Microsoft PowerPoint Slide Show
    It's possible that if you don't have Microsoft Office installed, you might not have those listed.

  • Why can't I link one Pages document to another Pages document?

    You'd think this would be a basic functionality in Pages: to be able to create a hyperlink in one Pages document that opens another Pages document.
    Currently I'm using iWork 2008, and I can't do this.
    Can I do it in iWork 2009?
    Until I can, iWork, in my mind, will be "iCan'tWorkTheWayiNeedTo".

    Tom in London wrote:
    right- so I can stop hunting for the "make coffee" feature in iWork 2008
    seriously though - features that were available in AppleWorks, I foolishly thought would also be available in iWork.
    I perfectly agree with the used adjective.
    Why would Pages offer the same features than AppleWorks ?
    Different teams made different choices.
    So I'll wait for Apple to do this. I'm not going to spend £60 for iWork 2009 just so as to be able to link to other Pages documents.
    I wrote several times that, as we are in october, it would be a good idea to wait until end of january 2010. Often it's the date of major upgrade delivery.

  • Why can't I open my Pages doc on my desktop?

    I created a flyer last week and put it on my iMac desktop. I tried to open it this morning to print it out but a window came up saying I needed to update to the latest version of Pages. When I clicked Learn More, it took me to a page where I would have to buy it for $19.99. Yesterday I updated to the latest OS on my iPhone. I'm pretty sure it is synchronized with my Mac. Would that have screwed this up?
    My techie told me to check for more than one Pages in Applications but only one is there.
    Any help is very much appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • Why can't I open my pdf document in Pages?

  • Why can't PC open a PDF document ?

    Many people using PC told me that they can't open a PDF document I sent them by email, from my MacBook Pro.
    I created the document on Pages and exported it in PDF, but when people try to open it, there is incompatibility.
    It's very bothering because I use it for work, and it happens almost all the time.
    What can I do ?

    I tried with my Live (= hotmail) one, I must try with my Gmail one. I'm really sorry but I don't understand the rest of your sentence "If Apple Mail, do you have Send Windows-Friendly Attachments checked in the compose attachment (paperclip) dialog? That will make a difference on the PC end." (i'm not a fluent english speaker).
    I don't know if the problem is related to Adobe, everyone reported to me that they can't open the file, so it would be weird if no one had Adobe on their computer.
    EDIT : I'm just thinking that I attach my document by sliding it from my desktop to the email, I don't know if I tried it by clicking the "attach files" icon. Is it what you meant ? If not, could it make a difference ?

    I was trying to open an existing Numbers document saved to my desktop. It took me to the App Store, but I didn't have access to a Wireless network. If it needed an update, why does it require the update to open an existing/previously saved document?  Very frustrating and completely embarrassed in front of my audience!!!

  • Why can't I open folders or documents on desktop?

    I did nothing unusual. Was working on a document using Appleworks, saved it on desktop. Went to open folder where I planned to place it. Nothing happened. Went back to that document. It won't appear. Tried other items on desktop. Nothing. HELP. I need to print document by 12 hours.
    Several days previously, I had trouble with iPhoto and posted a question about it. Similar in that selected picture would not come forward when I clicked on it. Wondering if problems are related. Is this a hardware or software problem?

    Hi Karen,
    I didn't see that you reported back if the iPhoto suggestions worked or not!? Everybody is kinda hanging on that one.

    mac,
    Yes, Word can open a Pages document. But first you have to use Pages to Export it to Word format. Not a big deal. Just know that the more complicated the Pages doc is (i.e. text boxes, graphics, weird stuff), the less faithfully it's likely to be rendered in Word. But simpler docs do well.
