I'm trying to save—save!—a Pages document to my local drive, and I'm getting this error message:
The file “Untitled.pages-tef” couldn’t be opened.
Strangely, it is possible to save my document to iCloud, but not directly to my local drive.
Any advice?
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion
Restart fixed this, but still—not reassuring.
Same problem, started this week. Happening over and over and over. Sometimes quitting Pages and restarting works. Sometimes now. Get it together Apple.
Better tell Apple about this prblem. The people in the forum are just end users like you and can't do anything about it.
Thanks for supplying that link to give direct feedback to Apple!
What worked for me was going in to "Settings", unchecking Documents & Data, rechecking it and restarting Pages.
It took some time for all my Pages Documents to reappear, but this has cured it for over a week!
I'm having the same problem. Very frustrating. Closing and restarting Pages didn't help.
Kreklo: Where in 'Settings' did you uncheck documents and data?
Sent the info to Apple. Thanks for posting the link.
Sorry for not clarifying. System Preferences-iCloud-Documents & Data. Uncheck and re-check solved my problem. Have had zero issues since.
Thank u so much! Great Help! thumbs up!
Thank you Kreklo---that solved my issue as well. Much appreciated.
THANK YOU, Kreklo!! Solved my problem, as well.
Your are welcome!
Thank you Kreklo! Also a very happy Pages user now on this end too :-) Great work!
This solved my problem too. Thanks Kreklo!
Just an FYI - Another work around if you need to save the document before quitting is to click on the name of the document at the top of the page and select rename, and then type whatever you want and use the regular save function as opposed to "Save As..."
It's a little annoying that a year later and this problem persists. I hope you get on this Apple. It seems the cloud is still quite buggy. I have had years of issues with iMatch not working correctly, ever since it came out, though a recent work around fixed my issue finally.
About to try your fix now Kreklo, if I don't repost then it worked. Thank you, ;-)
I've had the same problem when I bought a new MacBook Pro. So many things didn't work from iCloud, including all my Numbers files that were somehow saved as .tef extensions, Mail, iChat, etc. When I checked the AppStore I saw my previously purchased Mountain Lion App waiting to be reinstalled on my new Mac. After reinstalling, everything came back just fine.
The file “Untitled.pages-tef” couldn’t be opened.
