cant open documents

HI dilbenfield,

What version of Pages? (Pages menu > About Pages)

Is the version of OS X listed still correct? (Apple menu > About this Mac)

Can you launch Pages?

Can you create a new Pages document, Save it, Close it, then re-open it?

Do you get any messages when you attempt to open an existing Pages document?

Have you restarted the computer recently?

Have you started into Safe Mode?

A restart triggers some 'housekeeping routines, and is often enough to cure some issues.

A start into Safe Mode causes a more thorough housekeeping session.

To startup into Safe Mode:

• • • Shut down the computer.
    • Startup using the power button.
    • Immediately on hearing the startup chime, press and hold the shift key.
    • Keep the shift key pressed until you see the Apple logo on the screen and a progress bar below it.
    • Allow the startup time to complete.

    As more routines are called, you will notice that this startup takes longer than a normal startup.

    You will also see a degradation in video performance (this is normal)

• • • Can you launch Pages in Safe Mode?
    • Are you able to open any of the previously unopenable documents?
    • Do a normal restart (Apple menu > Restart)
    • Any improvement?

The above are general troubleshooting processes, which may not fix this specific issue.

Regards,

Barry
