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 support page on my Imac

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

    Is it this page you cant log in to? http://www.apple.com/support/
    Do you have any anti-virus running. I've seen some reports on here where av software can sometimes prevent connections to certain sites.

  • 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 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:

  • Why can't I open new tabs. I can only have one tab at a time for when I hit the + button nothing happens

    Since the last update (about a month or two ago) I have been unable open new tabs unless I find a webpage that takes me to a new link and therefore opens a new tab. It is highly annoying as I need to open multiple pages at once.

    Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.

  • Why can I not open documents in Pages that were created in Pages?

    I am using the most recent update to Pages.  Unfortunately all the documents that I had within the previous version of Pages will not open within the new Pages. Equally, I cannot open any documents that I have just created with the new Pages either. Is there an obvious solution to this? Very frustrating!

  • Why can't I open new tabs in 3.6? I had to ditch Firefox 8.

    Running Win 7 on a Compac. I updated to Firefox 8, but it was so quirky that I downloaded 3.6.24, but now I can't open tabs. I have to open new windows.

    You would also be better off without your Conduit Engine

  • Why can't I open new tabs?

    When I click on a new tab, or go to 'File', 'New Tab' nothing happens. If I click on a link a new tab will open up, but I cannot get a blank one to open so I can type in a new website.

    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.

  • Why can't I open new tabs in firefox 4?

    I upgraded from firefox 3 to firefox 4 when it asked me to do so. The upgrade has not gone right - I have a mixture of the two versions, with the menu across the top as in 3 but the toolbar as in 4. There isn't a button to open a new tab (I can use ctl-t but would rather not). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the same thing happens. It seems firefox does not really uninstall since on re-installing it remembers all my add-ons and settings.

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.<br />

    If you can't find that new tab or plus button then see:

  • Why can't I open new tabs in my browser?

    When I click on the + symbol next to the tab I am working in, Firefox should open a new tab. However, this function no longer works in my Firefox browser. What do I need to do to open new tabs again?

    This was very helpful: go to browser options in the General settings tab, at the bottom is the Manage Add-ons click on that link, look for the ASK toolbar add-on and uninstall. Then restart browser.
    I was elated the tabs work again.

  • Why can't I open new PDF files into iBooks

    I cannot open new PDF files in iBooks, they flash really quick in PDF folder then disappear. I'm really frustrated

    I am running Safari Version 5.1.5 (6534.55.3) on my iMac 10,1.  After my last Adobe update, my pdf files are nothing but a black window.  Have tried reverting to an earlier version of Adobe, but still getting a black window.  What next steps should I take?  Thanks.

  • Why can't I open documents from Pages ?

    I downloaded the new Pages software, but can't seem to open any documents previously created - still is telling me I have to download pages?? Help

    The best advice is to exclusively use Pages ’09 if it was installed prior to the Pages v5 upgrade downgrade. The older Pages will be found in /Application/iWork '09. Any double-click on a Pages document will invoke Pages v5.
    I would bet that you had Pages ’08 or ’09 previously installed (now moved to /Applications/iWork '0?). Pages v5(.2) dropped support for Pages '08 and RTF documents. Pages v5(.2) document architecture is incompatible with Pages '09 while still retaining the .pages extension — just to keep you guessing.
    If you attempt to open this new document architecture in the older Pages application, it will not tell you about this incompatibility, and just remind you to that you need the new Pages version. It is too stupid to notice that the latest Pages v5 application is installed. If you open a Pages ’09 created document with that application, you will get the same warning, because Apple thinks you should use Pages v5(.2) instead.
    Pages v5(.2) will be all too glad to open a Pages ’09 document without any acknowledgement that you are entering the Twilight Zone, and that this document has quietly been transformed into a Pages v5 document architecture — no longer compatible with Pages ’09. Although there is an Export > Pages ’09 feature, the significant differences in application feature support means that you likely will not get a 1:1 correlation export compatibility with Pages ’09.

  • Why can I not open new tabs?

    I can not open a new tab no matter what I do. The only time a new tab will open is if I click a link that takes me to a different site & then a new tab will open, but I can not open another one just by clicking on it or using the menu from it.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
