Why can't i open my document?  I have the latest version but it is telling me I need the latest version.

I have Pages, created a document in it LAST NIGHT and today it will not open, advising that I need to have the latest version of Pages to open.  I have the latest version and it STILL won't open!  Help!  Thanks!

You leave us to guess what you think is the "latest version".
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 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 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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 removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • Why can I not open this now I have updated to version 5

    I updated to version 5 and promtly lost my google toolbar which I understand may be rectified later but today I could not open mozilla firefox at all either by icon or going into programmes

    I would suggest using the Quick Launch instead with Firefox being one of the first so it shows on the task bar. No preloaded or anything just ready to use.

    I think IE is a browser interface to Windows, Firefox is self-contained and runs on any system.

  • Why can't I open a document with the password

    why can't I open a document with the said right password!!!! !

    Hi Anthony,
    What problem are you facing in opening the document? Is there any error message?
    I would recommend you to try again and as passwords are case sensitive so please make sure that you type the password in exactly same case sequence as you did when you set the password.

  • Why can't I open a document in Adobe Reader?

    Why can't I open a document in Adobe Reader?

    I have been having the same issue since January. Oddly, I can read the docs that I scan as pdf on my iPad but not on my Mac or PC. I receive the following message:
    "Adobe Reader could not open '_____.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
    It doesn't matter if I use Safari, Chrome, etc.
    I have the most up to date Adobe products.

    Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4? I use a Canon 5d mark II, which is supposed to be supported, and I checked for updates, but none were found.

    You cannot open files directly with Lr.
    You have to import them.

  • 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.

  • Why can't I open html documents in Pages 3.0 but could in v2.0.2?

    We used Pages v2.0.2 to open html exam documents to reformat the exams before sending to the printer. We recently upgraded to Pages 3.0 via iWorks '08, and we can no longer open html documents. Does anyone know if this is just an oversight in Pages 3.0 and will be fixed in future updates or has Apple intentionally abandoned html support in Pages?
    We need to find a workable solution. We prepare exams for 1000s of students each semester.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Rick

    Pages 3.0 (that is iWork '08) doesn't have an HTML entry in the CFBundleDocumentTypes of it's Info.plist file. Pages 1.x and 2.x both DO have an HTML entry in their Info.plist files. Thus Pages 3 won't open HTML while Pages 1 and 2 both will.
    So the questions are:
    Why did Apple remove HTML as a file type for Pages v3.0? Was it a mistake? Was it intentional? Will it come back in a quick update to Pages?
    And then again for you Allan Eckert:
    How are you able to open HTML documents in Pages v3.0? By rights, any ".html" file shouldn't be openable in Pages v3.

  • Why can I not open Numbers documents in iOS

    I have a problem with Numbers on iOS and Mac OS X (Mountain Lion (version 10.8.2) that I have seen asked before, but to which I have yet to see an answer. I've been using iWork on iOS devices since it was introduced for the iPad and iPhone, and I use it on a MacBook. Across an iPhone 5, iPad, iPad mini, and the MacBook, I am unable to open numerous documents created last year. The most recent spreadsheets open alright, but the vast majority won't open, generating the error "Spreadsheet can't be opened." I have all the lastest system software updates on all of these machines. It appears it is the same documents that cannot be opened on each of the machines. None of the documents have the "uploading" indicator (up arrow), but some of them have the stock Numbers icon (a bar chart in black and gray), while some have a document preview. It's unclear if this is related, but several of the documents on the iPad mini appear to be in a perpetual state of downloading, with progress bars running through their stock Numbers icon, and never filling up/completing.

  • Why can I only open DAQ assistant properties using the windiws profile I registered labview on?

    I have Labview 7.1 installed on Windows 2000. When generating block diagrams for codes, the properties dialog box for the daq assistant can only be opened when logged into our system on the profile originally used to install the software or when logged in as administrator. All other properties dialog boxes open under any user profile.

    I do not use Windows 2000, but I expect that the folder in which this function is held does not have a 'Full Control' access setting for all users.
    See if you can change the folder profile to allow access and full control to all users.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can I not open a new tab in the new Firefox? (via the + sign or Ctrl T)

    In the new interface on Firefox (which started for me today ... May 2 ...), I cannot open a new tab via the "+" sign along the top or by using Ctrl + T. If I want more than one thing open at the same time, I need to open a "New Window", which doesn't make much sense. I don't necessarily want a bunch of windows but may need a few tabs open at the same time.

  • Why can't I open google documents anymore?

    For some reason it just completely freezes up and gives up whenever I try to open a google document now. It never did this before, on the very same documents.
    This is driving me crazy.

    You really don't provide any information...
    What is your operating system?  Email client?  Reader version?
    How exactly do you email?  And what means "can't"?

  • Why can't I open my document?

    I have InDesign 5. I worked on a document two days ago and now I get a pop-up saying "Missing Plug-ins," "SharedContent.InDesignPluin" and "The document "Newsletter.indd" uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?"
    Then I click OK and I get a second pop-up saying "Cannot Open File." In the box it says "FormField.InDesignPlugin, XML.InDesignPlugin, Generic Page Item.InDesignPlugin, Text.InDesignPlugIn..." are missing. Then it says "Cannot open 'Newsletter.indd'. Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest verions, or upgrad to the latest verions of Adobe InDesign."
    Can someone explain what's going on. It was working fine when I worked on it the other day.
    Thank you.

    I didn't realize that CS5 and CS5.5 save files in different formats. I remember updating it from home the other day and it worked fine. Now I'm trying to open it in CS5 and I'm getting these errors. I'll remember to save it as IDML tonight. I could see a major file format change between CS 4 and CS5 or CS5 and CS6, but the differences appear to be so small betwen CS5 and CS5.5. (Now if I could only get my office to buy me the upgrade to CS5.5. Fat chance.)
    Bummer. What an interesting way to force people to upgrade.
    Thank you for your speedy response.

  • Why can't I open Pages documents transferred from iPad?

    I am unable to open Pages 09 documents transferred via iTunes and USB cable to my iMac (OS 10.6.8), error indicates  "index.xml" missing. Where does that come from?

    Pages 2 on the iPad uses Pages 5 file format, but even that can vary as Pages 5 and Pages 5.01 on the Mac can't open Pages 5.1 files.
    Yes you are right, the whole thing is one ginormous mess, thanks be to Apple.
    Far from getting painless round transfer between iOS, OSX and PCs we are getting in practice very limited compatibility even between Macs and iOS devices and reports of files that abruptly refuse to open anywhere and can not be rescued because they are in an overly complicated file format.
    Go to the iTunes Store and the App Store and rate/review the latest Pages.
