Why won't keynote, pages or templates open?

Since my original purchase of the iWork pack in September I have not once been able to open pages, keynote or templates. I'm very frustrated, everytime I try to open any one of them it tells me there was a problem and they are unable to open. Does anyone know what the heck is happening? I have a late 2010 MacBook Pro

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 shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Why won,t some self created templates open

I have in the past created files in numbers, saved them as templates and retrieved them for use later with out any troubles. I can still do this but some templates iv'e created will save as a template but will not load up and get the message The document "nnnsheet.nmbtemplate" could not be opened. Yet I can save it as a numbers file and it works fine.
Whats the problem and how to fix it please

Try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod again. However, this time redownload the apps directly to the iPod. Do not sync them. Do it one app at a time. Maybe the apps in your iTunes library are corrupted. If you are signed inot the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps you will not be charged again.

Why won't safari 7.0.2 open pdf files

why won't safari 7.0.2 open pdf files

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Why won't keynote always open to the newest update?

I recently updated keynote; however, i am having trouble with it. Whenever I open keynote, it will occasionally open up the new version but most of the time, it opens in the older version. How can I get it to always open and be on the newly updated version of keynote?

Is there anyway I can obtain the older version of keynote, namely Keynote '09?
Because this version is able to open keynote files of 5.3 version format. The only other way I can think of opening old, important presentations is to use some file format migrator - which I haven't found any. App store seems to only allow the download of the latest keynote software.

Why won't my external hard drive open

So I downloaded mavericks when it came out and now one of my external hard drives will not open but disk utility Will recognize the hard drive but I cannot access the lights on the hard drive work you can feel it spinning but it just won't access I've tried everything I know the hard drive fine why won't my Mac read my drive?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Why won't Garage band let you open more than one project a time..

Why won't Garageband let you open more than one project a time???? If thats the way its is set up...that is really lame. Even the worst audio programs allow you to run a few projects at a time.
I recorded a gig the other night... then I dumped the whole set on to one track. When I wanted to copy and paste individual songs into their own project it made me close the current project. Is there a way around this???
Joe

Heh, heh. Yes, this is true. Alas... BUT, if you want to compare one project with another, it can be done.
There is another advantage to making another copy of GarageBand. I created a copy and call it "GarageSymphony" that contains all my instrument specific icons for orchestral packs. This way I do not mess up the GarageBand application.
I would not be surprised to find multiple windows become available in GB4. I was more than pleased to find this change in iMovie 6.

Why won't my pages documents open?

So recently I tried to open up pages. If I click on the icon on the bottom, it won't work. It also has a weird black ring around the top. When I try to open up any other pages documents through Finder I get a message saying "the document "____" could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format."
How do I fix this??? Help please!!!!!

If you bought it on disk then it was installed inside the iWork folder inside the Applications folder. If it is no longer there and Pages documents no longer open then you have apparently managed to trash it.
Reinstall from the DVD is probably the fastest way to get it all back working, make sure you update iWork after the install, the DVD version will not be the latest.
It sounds also like you need to learn more about using your Mac. There are classes at the AppleStore and also tutorials in the general Support section of Apple's website, the one you see before you get into these communities.

Why won't my pages 08 open on my upgrade to pages on new Macbook fall 2013

Apple made all my old documents unusable with an upgrade to the free pages(2013). I bought a new computer because the old computer could not upgrad the old software. Apple says transfer to pages 09 first. My old computer was a first generation Macbook core duo, and I don't believe it supported iwork 09. So, I am stuck in upgrade ****. I cant upgrade to iworks 09. I cannot download the old software to make my free upgrade work. Does this mean I have to find a difficulty way to salvage all my hundreds of documents made over many years of being a Pages loyalist. I am very disappointed with this lack of attention to detail and zero warning about problems with the upgrade. Hopefully Apple makes things "just work" for loyal Apple customers, so they can be "delighted" with their Apple products. Do I sound bitter. I have never had a major issue since OS7. That is a long time ago.

The update is available for those using iWork '09. Even if it were possible to update iWork '08 to the new versions, you would have many, many problems. The new versions cannot open any iWork '08 or earlier documents or templates. You will get an error saying to open the files in iWork '09 then open them in the new version. I suggest that you buy a retail copy of iWork '09 from a third party such as Amazon or eBay & then update to the new iWork apps in the Mac App Store. You might check this link for the iWork '09 trial. I have no idea if it is still available.
iWork '09 will run on your MacBook. I have it on a G4 iMac running Tiger. You can see the tech specs for all versions of iWork on this page.

Why won't my pages open after 2.0.2 update?

I wanted to update my pages and Keynote... I tried to update first to pages 2.0.1 and keynote 3.01, but the file path that it looks for is Macintosh HD/Applications/iWork '06/pages.app, however my iWorks '06 cd had not put the ('06) in the folder name. So I manually added the ('06) so that the update could see the file path. after that update I updated again to 2.0.2 and 3.0.2 but when I went to open the file nothing happens... I went back and tried to change the file path back to just iWork with out the '06 but it didn't change anything? Any ideas....

3 questions :
1. I have already bought iWork'05. Can I use the same serial number with iWork'06 or do I have to buy a new one?
2. Can I update to Page 2 (iWork"06) from Page 1 (iWork'05)
3. Can I update just Page or do I have to update iWork too?
Thank you.

Why won't Google Chrome show template page updates to a site I created?

I made template updates to a client site, but Google Chrome will not show the simple update. All other browsers show the update. I've tried clearing cache and reloading page, but still no luck. The website is at:
http://www.donnellycommunications.com
The update that should be showing is in the upper right of page where the "procoresolutions.Com" link is...the "C" should be lowercased.
Can anyone help me figure this out?
Thanks.
