Hi, all. I have just updated to Big Sur and Pages will not open my old Pages documents. Pages will open and create a new document, but it will not open documents created in Catalina -- UGH!!! I found a way around it for the moment, until they make an update. I share the old document by sending it to email, then open the email attachment, copy it, and paste it into a new Pages document. I hope they put out a new Pages update soon that fixes this bug!
here is my problem and holding **** helped to open app but i cant open .pages files. App flashed on the screen for nanosecound and new error showed
this is the error after trying to open .pages . My Mac is iMac (21.5-inch, 2017). Help! I'm in the process of writing my BA thesis :C
And you are using the just updated Pages v10.3.5 on a the released Big Sur, not a beta of Big Sur?
I have a few minutes left on a migration from Mojave to Big Sur, and then I will update Pages and see what I can discover.
I just tried Numbers again, and it is crashing without opening for me. Keynote seems to be working for me -- SHEESH!
Yes, but mine starts with Pages: (967) -- the rest looks the same, but I didn't read all of it! I'll try to get a screen shot.
I installed the previous version of pages and numbers from my backup; they work fine. I'll stick with those until this is fixed.
Hi, thinkingray -- I might have to do the same, but for right now I'm getting by with TextEdit to create new documents -- it is sufficient for what I need at the moment, but that won't last long!
Same problem here solved copying files to another volume (a USB key, for example) and open the file there.
Looks something iCloud related, if you sync Documents / Desktop and so on
I think so, it looks something iCloud / sync related
Hi, Nickhut and all -- I tried duplicating a Pages file and moving it to the Downloads folder, but Pages crashed while trying to open it -- didn't work for me -- just reporting in!
It is really frustrating, I have the same issue in Numbers and Keynote as well. Hoping Apple cotton on to this quickly and push out bug fixes for these essential apps pronto!
Greetings from France!
Mine's a Mac Mini from late 2014 and other than Recent Files incorrectly reporting "file doesn't exist" when I try to open them in Pages I haven't had any other trouble with Big Sur so far.
I had the same problem! After turning off iCloud in settings, Pages magically started working again without issue. Hope this helps!
