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:

  • Pages will no longer let me open files that I have previously downloaded, worked on and then saved on my mac. However it will let me open pages documents that I have started from new. I need the other documents to open and can't figure it out. PLEASE

    I just got my mac a month ago so go easy on me but I was just working with the pages that was already on it, and then today I know it updated, and now I am unable to open a lot of my documents!:(  Idk what you mean by the icloud version lol sorry! As for the version, when I open pages from my apps and click 'about' it says version 5.1? And when I open the document it just goes grey and kind of blinks and doesnt open? No error message or any indication of why it will not open now when I for sure have opened it in the past! Andddd for the OS X I think it is 10.9.1 ??

  • Can you open with Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft word for Mac?

    Can you open in Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft Word for Mac?

    Pages '09 will open .doc files from Word 2004. The Mac OS is not what is in question. Pages '09 opens Word 2004 documents and if the same version of Pages will run in Lion and in Mountain Lion ..... Thats all that matters.
    I trust you were using MS Office 2004 and would now like to buy Pages?

  • Why can't I open facebook videos on my ipad and iphone?

    Why can't I open facebook videos on my ipad and iphone any more? I used to be able to open most but now I can't open any.  Now it just comes up with a message 'unable to play video.Check your internet connection and try again' There is nothing wrong with my internet connection. I am on wifi and full signal strength. This is happening on both ipad and iphone. It's not the problem where sometimes a video wants Adobe to open it. This message comes up as soon as you try to click on the video play button in the video. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this please?

    Thanks for this Griff but it's not the app that isn't responding.  I am in the facebook app (on both iPhone and iPad) and the app is working fine but if people post a video I can't look at the video on the iPhone or iPad.  i always used to be able to but now it keeps coming up with the message I mentioned above.  So I can no longer watch videos from facebook on either my iPad or iPhone.  Here is a screen shot of my phone of what is happening.  As you can see I have full wifi so there is nothing wrong with my internet connection. This is really annoying as I used to be able to watch videos on both phone and ipad out of facebook.  now I can't.  Hope you can help.  regards and thanks Vicki

    Try a soft reset - press the home and power bottons and keep them pressed until the Apple logo comes on.  Then see if you can access Settings.

  • 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".

    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.

  • Pages doesn't open the Pages document that I created

    Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem? Is my document gone forever? I have never experienced this.  I created a Pages document and didn't open it for a long time. It's probably been a couple of years ago when I created it. Now I need it but it won't open it. Any ideas on how I can get my document to open?
    Thanks

  • Why can't I open my Garageband on my ipad

    Garageband don't want to open, it instant close

    Mybe some bits are "out of place". You can try this.
    Export the Song (the GarageBand Song, not the Audio mix). For this you don't have to open the project, you do it from the "My Songs" window. Once you have the .band file synced to your iTunes File Sharing window on your computer, rename the file and sync it back to your iOS device. Try to open it.
    If it was a minor "confusion" this could have straightened it out.
    Good luck
    Hope that helps

  • How can I rescue a single Pages document that is not showing on any of my devices connected to iCloud?

    I have done the updates on all 3 products (iPhone, iPad and iMac) but I have one single document that is not opening.

    Try opening it in TextEdit. It might work to save some text.

  • Let me first say the DW CC SUCKS!!!  Why can't I edit templates in CC that I created in DW CS6?

    When I try to edit templates, ANY template, that I created in CS6, I can't.  The tool bars are grayed out.  The properties panel is grayed out.  It acts as though it is in LIVE mode, but it isn't, or not that I can see.  I'm trying to edit a link in my footer, but every time I try to place the cursor on the link to select it, the cursor is a pointing finger.  I can't select it to edit it, unless I go edit the code.  This brings up another question about editing templates.  This involves the same link in the previous question.  In CS6, I edited this link with the new link to a page.  When I SAVE ALL, I get the box asking if I want to update all pages that use the template, I say yes.  The code reflects the change, but the link doesn't change in LIVE view or Preview in a Browser.  It still tries to load the old page, which I have deleted.  This happens in DW CS6 too.  I want to use CC because I am paying for it.  But I have found it fights me every inch of the way.  Luckily I have CS6.  But it isn't very good either.  Any ideas?

    See screenshot:  If you can, switch to Design view.
    If you can't, you must be using Templates based on Fluid Grid layouts. See link below:

  • The iOS 8.1.2 update bricked my 4th gen iPad. I can't even do a DFU mode restore - error 4013. The iPad worked perfectly before the update and is 16 months old. Any suggestions anyone - except to shout loudly at the Apple support line?

    I set my iPad to do the latest iOS update as per usual - over the air and while on charge. When I returned to it, it was non functional the screen was blank. I reset multiple times and at one point got a red screen. I connected it to iTunes on my Mac and tried to force a restore, but this didn't work - even in DFU mode. I have gotten a 4013 error every time. I've tried different cables and different USB ports etc, but no success. It's a brick.

    I have multiple Macs around the house and have tried all of them - all with the same results alas. I've restarted, ensured iTunes is up to date etc too.
    On DFU mode - yes - that's it. I have no idea what DFU stands for, but it this mode is often referred to as this. I get the 'connect to iTunes' picture and can begin the restore, but the process times out waiting for the iPad. Apparently, 4013 is associated with a cable problem,, but I know the hardware is all fine.
    What I want to avoid is just being told to buy another iPad. That would be totally unacceptable for an error caused by an update to a 16 month old device. There has to be some solution!
