Pages 10.0 not working in Catalina 10.15.4

I have recently upgraded my computer to Catalina 10.15.4 and tried to use Pages 10.0 but it is not responding. Is there something I can do to make it work?


Many thanks.

Hello pppariseau,



Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to open and use the Pages app on your Mac. First, try running First Aid on your hard drive with the built in Disk Utility tool, as this can correct simple issues like you're experiencing.

Next, use safe mode to start up your Mac as it does the following things:



  • Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
  • Loads only required kernel extensions
  • Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
  • Disables user-installed fonts 
  • Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files



Log in to your user account and test the issue while in safe mode and then restart normally and test the issue again.
