Why do Keynote and Pages freeze when I open them?

I have tried everything but I get the spinning wheel whenver I try opening them.  I have even uninstalled and reinstalled from the App Store.  I have also tried deleting their respective .plist files in the Library>>Preferences folder and emptied trash after doing so.  I also tried uninstalling and restarting holding shift, then repairing disk permissions in Disk Utilities. 
These both worked last week and I haven't installed anything on this computer since then which leads me to believe it could be an iCloud issue?
I have a major presentation in a few days and need to fix this asap.
Thanks!

  • I am having a silly problem with Keynote and Pages. When ever i open a file, it opens the same file twice ?

    When ever i open a file using key note or pages. The files opens up two times. I the ave to close one version of the file and only then can begin work.
    Could you please help me how to get rid of this ?

    try routine software maintenance:
    1 - shut down the Mac
    start up the Mac again with the shift key pressed, release when Mac logo appears, let the Mac boot up it will take longer as it will be repairing the software
    2 - Applications > utilities > disc utility > select the system drive > disc first aid > repair permissions
    reboot normally and see if that helped

  • Just installed iTunes and it freezes when I open it

    I just downloaded the current version of iTunes (4-8-09). when I open the program it just freezes. I use Firefox as my default browser. WMP has always been my default music player although during the installation i checked the box for iTunes to be the default. I also have Real Player installed (but I never use it). is there any reason iTunes freezes with these conditions? I am so lost. I have already uninstalled it and re-downloaded and re-installed it twice just to be sure I had a good file. PLEASE help me!

  • Why are my book pages enlarged when I send them to be printed?

       I have created a 40-some page iPhoto book that looks fine when I scan the pages prior to sending it to be printed. However, I get an email from Apple saying that the book is unreadable or unprintable. Upon looking at the PDF version of the book, I see that each page has been slightly enlarged, so that part of the image is not shown because it is outside the boundaries of the page. I assume that is why it is unprintable. I am trying to print a 13" by 10" hardcover book using iPhoto 11. Each of my pages is a single jpeg containing multiple photos (which I have assembled in Photoshop Elements) and each jpeg is 13 by 10 in Photoshop Elements.
       One more thing: on my final scan of the pages, prior to sending the book to the printer, I usually find one or two pages that have automatically been slightly increased from from the minimum size. Each time, I have manually set such pages back to minimum size.
        Can anyone suggest a fix for this problem?

    That's due to the bleed settings for the pages.  You can edit the iPhoto preferences with Pref Setter to change the bleed amount or turn it off entirely.

  • Pages freezes when I open up a project

    I purchased Pages off the Apple site back in March.  I am working on a project that involves several images.  I tired to back up to a usb and when I did the usb said no image files.  Pages froze and would not let me continue to work on it. I have deleted all big images off my computer.  I can't back up to google docs as it freezes.  everything is causing my computer to freeze.  Now I am left with a computer that is running very slow and none of the images I need.   Help, my project is due tomorrow and is worth a huge part of my mark

    Sounds like hardware problems, probably the Macbook's hard drive.

  • Keynote and Pages show as not purchased

    Upgraded laptop to new Pro. Why would Keynote and Pages not show up as previously purchased?

    Robert...
    Make sure to sign to the App Store first. Then it should say Installed.
    And check to see if the purchases are, "hidden" > Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

    keynote and pages are now free, but why do i need to pay for them still when there now free?!?

    Users can obtain the iWorks and iLife applications free, if they purchased a Mac after the beginning of October 2013.
    Older Mac purchases require a paid purchase of these applications.

  • Slow keynote and pages

    Why does it take 2 seconds to move an object in Keynote and Pages?

    Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. One backup is not enough to be safe. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with Disk Utility. Preferably both.
    Erase and install OS X. This operation will destroy all data on the startup volume, so you had be better be sure of the backups. If you upgraded from an older version of OS X, you'll need the Apple ID and password that you used, so make a note of those before you begin.
    When you restart, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process in Setup Assistant. That’s when you transfer the data from a backup.
    Select only users and Computer & Network Settings in the Setup Assistant dialog—not Applications or Other files and folders. Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled.
    After that, run Software Update.
    If the problem is resolved after the clean installation, reinstall third-party software selectively. I can only suggest general guidelines. Self-contained applications that install into the Applications folder by drag-and-drop or download from the App Store are usually safe. Anything that comes packaged as an installer or that prompts for an administrator password is suspect, and you must test thoroughly after reinstalling each such item to make sure you haven't restored the problem.
    I strongly recommend that you never reinstall commercial "security" products or "utilities," nor any software that changes the user interface or the behavior of built-in applications such as Safari. If you do that, the problem is likely to recur.
    Before installing any software, ask yourself the question: "Am I sure I know how to uninstall this without having to wipe the volume again?" If the answer is "no," stop.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

  • I cannot open Keynote and Pages in iPhone/iPad iOS 7

    After updating to iOS 7 and iWork for iOS, I'm no loger able to use iWork for iOS when iCloud is turned on.
    I've two apple accounts, one for Mexico store and another one for US store. A couple of yeard ago I purchased Numbers for iphone/ipad using MX account, and Keynote and Pages for iphone/ipad using my US account.
    Before updating to iOS 7, I was able to use iCloud for keynote, numbers and pages without any problem. All my documents were backed up on the MX account in iCloud. My iphone/ipad was logged into iCloud using my MX account all the time.
    After updating to iOS 7, I keep using my MX account for iCloud, but I'm no longer to open Keynote and Pages (which were purchased with my US account) when iCloud is activated for them.
    What's going wrong with apple?! I think iOS 7 is very buggy and it is the worst OS they have ever make available for users!!! Can't believe the amount of errors I keep finding in most of Apple apps!!!
    Please advice! Regards,

  • Keynote and Pages files on Ipad

    My Videos app is crashing after renting a video on iTunes - so I want to restore settings.  Will I lose Keynote and Pages (and Goodreader, etc.) files when this happens - or will I get them back when I sync?

    Not if you restore from a backup you've made on iTunes.  All the settings, etc. will be the same.  Of course, there may be corrupted files in the backup that are causing your crash.  Give it a try and see what happens.

  • Keynote and pages stopped working after update

    i had older versions of keynote and pages. they were fine but obviously outdated. i downloaded the updates (2.0.1 for pages and 3.0.1 for keynote). now both programs don't work.
    upon clicking either icon in finder window, the dock icon appears, bounces a little, then poof disappears as if I never opened it. no menu bar appears on top also. really just the icon for a few seconds.
    what's wrong here??

    When you say older versions, do you mean Pages 1.0.x and Keynote 2.x? If you do, the updates do not work for those versions, you have to buy iWork 06. Cheers!

  • Low-quality copy (to the clipboard) in Keynote and Pages

    Hello,
    I am running Keynote 6.5 under OS 10.10 on MacBook Air. Just after updating to Yosemite I have noticed that if I copy (command-c) something from Keynote (say, some text, or a graphic) and try to paste it outside (in Preview, or in Word) I get a low-quality image (bitmap rather than vector). It was not like this before. Also, I have verified that this problem is limited to Keynote and Pages; i.e., copying something out of (e.g.) Powerpoint works perfectly (vector image).
    Anyone can help?

    I can confirm this is also a problem with Numbers. Anything copied out of the iWork apps appear to lose the ability to be pasted as a .PDF, even in applications that can accept the higher quality .PDF format. (In looking into it, there's additional weirdness I'm seeing related to iWork and the clipboard, but that's for elsewhere).
    At this time, the only possible thing you can do to get high quality output from Keynote is to Export as a PDF, then open that and crop it.
    Just to help a bit more, when you check Preview for how to crop a PDF, the help is incorrect. The command you're looking for is not
    Choose View > Show Edit Toolbar,
    it's
    Choose View > Show Markup Toolbar
    However, I haven't tried to see if you can get PDF's without backgrounds... checking now
    I've also confirmed that Keynote '09 can still produce .PDF's from copied content. And, I am using a MacBook Pro.
