Why can't I open all my Pages documents in Mavericks?

Ever since upgrading to Mavericks my Pages upgrades will not allow me to open my documents!! Is there a better way around this than using my old version of Pages? this is very very inconvenient and not the way I'm used to working on my iMac.

It sounds like you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09 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 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them.
Pages 5 can not open Pages '08 files at all. You will need to Export the Pages '08 files to Word .doc/x or use Pages '09 to open the Pages '08 files and resave them.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 older Pages files can not be opened in previous Pages.
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.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

I have iWork's 9 that inludes pages 4.3. I created a document that I saved. When I tried to open the document today, I was advised I needed a newer version of pages to open the document. Why can't I open an existing pages document?

I have iWorks 9 that includes Pages 4.3. I created a document and saved it as a "pages" file. When I tried to open the document the next day, a dialogue box told me I needed a newer version to open the file. The information provided stated the new app would cost $19.99 and the customer ratings are quite low. Why can't I open a previously created document in iWorks, regardless of the version. This is the first time Apple has demanded that I pay for a new version to open existing documents.

I am with Peter on this issue. Additionally, if you installed the latest IOS Pages (v2.01) on an iPhone or iPad and opened a .pages file on iCloud that was created by Pages ’09 v4.n, or IOS Pages v1.7.n — that document is now in the new .pages file format and only Pages v5 on OS X can open it.

Why can't I open some of my documents on Pages even though I created them all on the same IPad with the same Pages ap?

I think I know the problem because I've had it myself. I didn't upgrade iWorks on my iPad, but after Apple made changes to iCloud (concurrent with Mavericks) any docs passing through it were modified and made unreadable. Even though, as you say, they were created on my iPad using the previous version of iOS Pages, which I didn't upgrade.
iCloud is the culprit, if your iPad settings had iCloud>Documents & Data enabled, the docs were modified and disabled in the cloud.
I made a further mistake. After I saw this happening, I didn't think to turn off auto updates, and Apple pushed the new version of iOS Pages onto my iPad. The result was that ALL my docs disappeared from the iPad, and from iCloud.com also. I have not been able to recover them.
I've been talking to the Pages engineering team about it. If they come up with an answer, I'll post it here. Meanwhile, get those older files backed up somewhere safe if you can.

Why can't I open all my emails, open attachments or send photos on my ipad anymore

Why can't I open all my emails, open attachments or send photos on my ipad anymore. Sometimes it takes awhile for an email to open, other times they open without any incident. I can't seem to be able to email any photos anymore.

Why Can't I open the support page (manuals or tech support) on apple website. I can't use the westjet website either? help??

Do you have any anti-virus running. I've seen some reports on here where av software can sometimes prevent connections to certain sites.

Why can't I open a lot of documents since yosemite. They are in grey

Since I installed the last version of OS X on my Ipad, I could not open a lot of documents on my Mac. I thought this problem would be solved when I would install Yosemite on my mac but this is not the case.
Why are so many documents in grey and why can't I open these documents on my mac with yosemite ?

Tell your friend to go to bit.ly to create a 'short URL' for that address.
They can send you that & you shouldn't have to worry about the SMS or any other messaging size limitations.
NOTE: there are many other URL shortener services…

Why can't I open an adobe acrobat document 1.xls. sent to me.

Why can't open a pdf file sent to me marked adobe acrobat document 1.xls ?

Mylenium is correct you will want to look at utilizing a program which lets you open Microsoft Office spreadsheets. This is not something that Adobe currently offers.

Opening up older pages document in mavericks

I am having a difficult time opening up any Pages, Numbers or Keynote files created in iWork '06 or '08 in the newest version of Pages. We are currently running Mavericks on our school district machines. We have recently purchased new laptops. Now anything that anyone created in our older software cannot even be opened. We simply receive the message that the files need to be opened up in iWork '09. However, we did not put any older versions of the iWork software on the machines. Is there a simple work-around for opening up older files in the newest software? Help!

I suspect that the priority is on cross-platform compatibility and use of iCloud Drive. I understand this is a critical part of the OS/X-iOS business strategy and I don't begrudge the effort, but I think this has undermined the focus on important features.
No ability to do endnotes? That should be easier to implement than footnotes. Advanced search for invisible characters (line breaks in particular) was a feature of great value and shouldn't be hard to implement within the current find&replace system. A lot of effort is going into Pages 5 as a common tool for three environments, but little seems to be going into rebuilding its feature set. And retaining the presentation of facing pages imported from 4.3 but not being able to change the settings is just frustrating.

Why can't I open files from pages and numbers on my mac, I can open them on my macbook air

When I try and open a file from either numbers, pages and keynotes on my mac I get a message telling me "The file “Essential Skills Module 10 Presentations.key” couldn’t be opened." I am still able to open them on my MacBook Air and iPad. Can anyone help me with this?

Why can't I open several foxfire pages like I used to?

I have just reinstalled Norton 360 Premier and still have a "Error:"8504, 104" warning on my Norton Product. Since the reload & ensuring that Norton's Live Updates were current, I can only open Firefox as a single page. Is this a firefox problem or is it a Norton 360 problem?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Why can't I open "new" in Pages suddenly?

No response when I click on "New " in Pages immediately after I open it. If I open "Files" it lists my documents, but I am trying to simply open a new document to start typing. Never has happened before. It is like frozen. I was working on Photoshop CS5 a few moments ago and wanted to create a fresh document to put some info in. I have relaunched computer with no success. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do you mean when you look at File you do not see the menu content like this?

Why can't I open the single page through css11151

The css11151 and ce560 worked in transparent cache. But there is a url "www.people.com.cn" can't access. and other url is right. My computer is connected with css111151 through proxy server. what can I do

could you place a sniffer trace between the CSS and the CE.
Then capture the connection to the site that has problem.
Once you have the sniffer trace, just let me know and I will help you understand what is wrong if necessary.
Could you also send me some data regarding your configs.
Like 'sho run' from the CSS and 'sho tech' from the CE.
My email address is [email protected]
Regards,
Gilles.

Why can i not open my documents?

why can't I open any of my documents?

You will have to check to see if opening and saving in a .doc or .docx format is permitted in AppleWorks. Since AppleWorks is legacy software it probably is not supported.
