Why does pages 5.0 quit on launch

Along with updating to mavericks i updated pages to version 5.0 but it wont open. All that happens when i select the application is a welcome screen appears for second and then it comes up saying pages quit unexpectedly. I cant get it to progress any further, there is a continue button on the welcome thing but it quits before i have a chance to click it. The same thing is also happening with Keynote and Numbers, since updating them all to the new versions none of them are working.

You are not alone but not everyone is having the problem either.
As noaliase says all the new iWork appliactions are severe downgrades. In the case of Pages over 90 features ahve been removed.

Whilst it is an exageration to say they have nothing going for them, it is so little as to be no compensation for the bad file handling and conversion and general clumsiness.
You should still have your previous iWork folder inside your Application folder.
Make sure to rate and review Pages 5 in the App Store.

  • Why does pages suddenly refuse to save a document back to our server after editing?

    why does pages suddenly refuse to save a document back to our server after editing?
    and can i specify a default save-as location?

    The default save location is the one used to open the document.
    The default save_to location is the last used one.
    Both are stored in memory and written in the application's preferences file when we close it.
    It's quite easy to change the defaults in the preferences file but we must do that before opening the app and if we use an other location once the app is open, we will lost the defined default location.
    From my point of view, the best scheme is to use an Applescript to save.

    Why does my FCX program quit suddenly when I try to capture from my camcorder?
    When it opens it says "no codec found". I used HDV Apple intermediate codec 1080i60. What codec should I use?

    Do you mean Final Cut Express or FCP X?
    These are two different apps.

  • Why does pages prompt the save dialogue every time i save?

    Just like every other word editing program, I should be able to just click save or push COMMAND S to save easily without getting the Save dialogue, once I saved for the first time.
    Why does Pages insist on bringing up the Save or Save As dialogue box every time I want to save a version of the document?  Once I saved for the first time, name the file, and save it to my hard drive, I should not have to deal with this anymore, unless I specifically click Save As....  I should be able to click Save or push COMMAND S and have it save in the background as with every document editing program.
    Is there a way to change this?

    You are obviously confused in thinking that Pages is a MsWord substitute which it is not, it is its own program.
    When you export to .doc you are doing exactly that, making a copy in a different format to the one you are working in.
    TextEdit can save to .doc and Save to it as can several other applications, but none of those are MsWord either.
    If you want to work in MsWord, why not use MsWord itself?

  • Why does iPhoto always open/appear at launch?

    Why does iPhoto always open/appear at launch? Someone used my computer under another account, and now my preferences seem to be changed. How do I fix it so iPhoto must me opened manually?

    Some possibilities: 
    Right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock. Is Open at Log In Selected?
    Check your System Preferences -> Accounts -> Log In Items
    Is there a camera or anything that your Mac might think is a camera (flash drive, USB Hard Disk formatted to a FAT format, phone) attached to your Mac. If so, disconnect it. If you don't want to disconnect it, set iPhoto to "Do Nothing" when a camera is attached. You do this in the iPhoto Preferences.

  • Why does my iPhoto keep quitting while i'm trying to create a calendar?

    Why does my iPhoto keep quitting while i'm trying to create a calendar

    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.
    Step 1
    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.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. 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.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

    Why does my contacts unexpectly quit when I open it.  I am using OS X 10.8.3....  This has been happening for the past two weeks.....

    Try moving the com.apple.addressBook.plist to your Desktop and start Contacts.
    To get there, hold down the Option key and select Library from the Go menu in Finder. Then, navigate to Preferences folder.

  • Why does Pages app have no 'labels' template?

    Why does "Pages" have no 'labels' template?

    That bug was introduced in Pages 5.1. This workaround:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24857600#24857600
    ... gets rid of the com.apple.MediaLibraryService process and also brings memory usage by Pages itself back in line. Involves removing (should archive them and restore prior to applying a software update) a number of plug-ins, may or may not affect functionality (I have not noticed anything, apart from making the computer usable again).
    Current version of Numbers is also affected; without this "fix," a second com.apple.MediaLibraryServicelaunches, also consuming more than 1 GB of real memory, and Numbers itself uses multiples of the memory it should. Removing the files described also restores Numbers to normal functionality.

    Why does iTunes crashing on iPhone after launch?

    Hey
    First, try force closing the Music app, which you can find out how to do here:
    iOS: Force an app to close

    And if it still doesn't work when you try to re-open it, I would then reset the device:

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Why does pages 09 keep opening a new mail message

    I'm using pages 09 now (was using 08; tried the new 5.0 but it is useless based on backward compatability)
    When I click on a name in a document it immediately opens a new email message with To as the contact  I clicked on. I've tried turning off all the auto complete, etc I can find but it still happens.
    Specifically,
    if I go to the footer, the next time I land on a name in the body of the document it opens up a new email.
    Once I close the mail message I can continue typing, editing etc.; but the moment I go to the footer and then return to the text box it jumps to a new mail message when I click on a name.
    How do I turn this off?
    George O.

    More on this and a correction-
    there is a part of this document outined in blue- whenever I go into this part from the footer it initiates an email to me;  it doesn't matter where I click. My earlier question said when I click on a name this happens; but actually anywhere in the outlined area.
    some of the document does not have thin blue outlines; when I go there I'm ok- no new email.
    so, what are the blue lines about?
    and why does it send me an email when I move into the outlined area?
    thanks for any help !
