Why can't I open Pages 5 documents on my iPad

Both are running Mavericks or OS7

Have you updated Pages on the iPad? The iWork for iOS apps are free for anyone who has activated an iOS device for the first time since September 1, 2013. If your iOS device is older than that you will have to purchase the apps or a new device.
If your iOS device was activated for the first time after September 1, go to the App Store on your iPad which should open to Featured. If not, tap on Featured at the lower left of the screen & scroll down to Collections & tap on New to the App Store? then scroll down to Apps Made by Apple & tap. You should now see the iWork & iLife apps as "FREE."

    I recently accepted an automatic update(January, 2014) for Pages on my MacBook Pro. I can no longer open Pages or documents created with the prior version. Any suggestions as to how to correct this problem?

    Open Activity Monitor. Select All Processes instead of My Processes at the top and then reorder everything by highest CPU usage. Take a screenshot and post the image here.

  • 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 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.

  • Why can I not open some previous documents in Pages?

    Help! I can not open previous documents in pages.  It is instructing me to download the latest, when I do try, it tells me the most current has been installed?  I still can not open the documents?

    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'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 ?

  • Why Can't I Open Pages App??

    I just updated pages and now the app wont even open.  I can't even open specific documents. What can I do to fix this issue?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Why can't I open a Numbers document saved to my MacBook Pro desktop?

    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!!!
