Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I have version 10.0

The problem is that I can't even update the version. When I update I get a message saying that I cannot update the application. Something like this

"The application cannot be updated

Pages cannot be updated with your Apple ID, either because the item has been refunded or because it was purchased with a different Apple ID."

I've attached a screenshot the message I get when I update. Sorry it's in Swedish.

Pages v10.1 (required) treats iBooks Author documents like any other document that it knows how to open — if there is content in the document that Pages gets confused over how to handle, or if the document is damaged, Pages may simply reject opening the document. See Tom Gewecke's link in his response.
