Why won't Pages open my .Pages file?

Today I tried to open 5 important .Pages documents I created in March 2014 using the latest version of Pages that was then available, and I keep getting the message '"x.pages" can't be opened.' with no further explanation. I've tried opening the files on both my iMac and my Macbook Pro, and exactly the same thing happens. I'm using Pages 5.2 on both computers. I know absolutely nothing I can do to fix the problem.
Any suggestions? I really need these files for my study - they are lecture notes for an important project I'm working on this week!

You created your Pages documents with a version of Pages older than v5.2 (Apr 1 update), and by latest available, that would imply v5.1.
Sign into iCloud dot com and use Pages in the iWork for iCloud beta. See if this Pages can open your documents. If it can, I would Send a Copy as Word document back to your Mac for lecture note resurrection.
I have had intermittent issues with .pages documents created in v5.1 that resist opening in v5.2 — but eventually do open on subsequent attempts.
If you had Pages ’09 v4+ already installed on your Mac prior to the v5 upgrade, it will be located in /Applications/iWork '09. Drag/drop that version of Pages to your Dock, and avoid using v5.2 for critical work. It just isn't ready yet.

Why won't FireFox open local .html files (when using "open file")?

I teach hand coding and use FireFox to grade my students work. I also tell them to use this browser to review their own work. If they cannot navigate to their files on their desktop I will have to switch to another browser. I know it is something from the latest version... as I have been using FireFox for the last 5 years as my classroom browser of choice.

Firefox should still be able to open files using open files.
I use Windows so things may differ slightly but the option to open files is available but not visible by default, I can get the option to browse for files using: keyboard keys'''Alt , F , O'''
My directory structure and path may differ slightly but I am also able to key directly into the location bar something such as '''''file:///C:/'''''
A third option would be simply to click on the relevant HTML file and use the option to open, or open with Firefox. Such files may also be bookmarked.

Why won't my printer print page numbers in a document? The page numbers show in print preview, but will not print on document.

Perhaps you have set the margins so tight to the edge of the paper that you have gotten into the non-printing area for your printer. Most printers have a dead zone.
What are your margin settings?

Why won't excel read my csv file created with the powersell out-file automatically.

I wrote a PowerShell script that creates a CSV formatted file. The script simply creates a comma delimited string for each entry and adds it to a collection. Then the out-file command write it to a file.
When you open it with Excel each line is put into one cell. If you import the file and specify the "," as the delimiter, it imports just fine. If the data is saved out again as a csv file, the file is about half the size and opens
just fine with excel.
If you open the original file and the file created by Excel with notepad, they look the same.
So the files are different in size, contents look the same, but Excel won't automatically open the original file.
Any ideas of why this happens? Also PowerShell and Excel are both running on Server 2012 R2. Excel is a remote app.
If I do an export-CSV, I get some kind of information about the object.
Here is the script:
foreach ($group in $groups)
   $header += '"' + $group.name + '",'
   $CSVdata = @()
   $CSVdata += $header
   # Create a user entry
   $users = Get-ADUser -filter * |select SamAccountname, Name | sort SamAccountName
   foreach ($user in $users)
      $Groupmembership = Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity $user.SamAccountName
      $userentry = '"' + $user.SamAccountName + '",'
      $user
      foreach ($group in $groups)
          if ($Groupmembership.SamAccountName -contains $group.SamAccountName) { $userentry += '"X",'}
          else { $userentry += '"",' }
       $CSVdata += $userentry
      $CSVdata
      Out-File -inputobject $CSVdata -FilePath c:\batch\GroupMembership.csv

Ok the script works exactly like I want it. Thank you very much.
I am trying to understand the script but I am unable to figure out what the line "$keys=$t.Keys|%{$_}"
does. I figured ".keys" was a method but my search for it comes up blank. Do you have a reference you can point me to?

Adding javascript to page open and page close in acrobat 8.1.2

Reading the Acrobat Javascript Object Specification on page 22 it says that you can add javascript to the "page open" and "page close" events of a document.
It then says that under the menu "Document -> Set page action" you can add scripts for those events
I am using Acrobat 8.1.2 and under the document menu there is no "Set page action". And there is nowhere where I can find any "set page action" menu...
whats the deal?
How can i set the page open and page close events in acrobat professional 8.1.2?????????????
Marc

- open the Navigation Panel 'Pages'
- select the page and open the page properties
- in the actions tab you can set the page actions

Why i can't open my raw file in adobe photoshop cs6... and i use camera Canon 650D

why i can't open my raw file?

You probably need to update your Camera Raw plug-in for CS6 to something new enough to understand the 650D raw files.
The usual way you’d do this would be Help / Updates in PS.

Why can't Bridge open my raw files from Canon PowerShot 120-S? Using PS/5

Why can't Bridge open my raw files from my new Canon Power Shot 120-S camera? I'm using PS-5 and had no problems with other Canon cameras. I downloaded Adobe Camera Raw 8 but this has not resolved the problem.

1. you need cr 8.3+ for the Canon PowerShot S120
2. ps cs5 can only update to cr 6.7
free solution: use the dng converter: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694
integrated solution: upgrade to ps cc. here are the options (but especially note the photographer plan for 9.99/mo) - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/buying-guide.html

Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4? I use a Canon 5d mark II, which is supposed to be supported, and I checked for updates, but none were found.

You cannot open files directly with Lr.
You have to import them.

Why won't elements 12 download raw files from Nikon D810?

Why won't elements 12 download raw files from Nikon D810? I got a message saying that the camera model is not supported by installed version of camera raw. How do I fix it?

Photoshop Elements questions should be posted in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. Somehow your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
You can re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.
My opinion on this....from the Photoshop Elements perspective...
Nikon D810 is supported by Camera Raw 8.6 and higher (latest version of Camera Raw is 8.7)
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
At the same time, the Camera Raw version needs to be supported by the Photoshop Elements version.
Photoshop Elements 12 appears to support Camera Raw up to 8.5 which does not support the Nikon D810.
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Solution...
a. switch to Photoshop Elements 13 (comes with Camera Raw 8.6 and can be updated to 8.7).
b. use the DNG Converter in Photoshop Elements 12

Why can't I open up xls files?

Why can't I open up xls files? I'm new with the mac so please help?

Another possibility... If you have an older version of Excel, and the file you are trying to open is a new version with an .xlsx extenstion, then you need a converter to open it. (Sorry, I don't remember where to get it, because it didn't work for the first year that I tried it before I upgraded to Office 2011 at work.) Weird, since I'm able to open them on my iPhone, but not on my iMac. I've asked friends to save as an older version; some know how to use "save as".
It can also happen cross-platform. If your file is from someone using a new version on a PC, and you don't have the equivalent version on the Mac, it might not open. On the PC, the extension doesn't show, so they may not know what version it is. But when they pen Excel, it will say as it opens.
