pages will not open.
when I click on the app it just pops up with the little bar as if it is loading a document, but nothing happens. I've tried force quitting the app and restarting my laptop but nothing works.

Hi Biancak,
Possibly Pages is trying to open a large (or corrupted) document that was open when you last quit. Try starting Pages while you hold down the shift key.
If that works, best advice is to close all open documents before quitting an app. Or let the system do it for you:
System Preferences > General > Close windows when quitting an application.
Another useful setting:
System Preferences > General > Ask to keep changes when closing documents.
Regards,
Ian.

Thank you very much!! This completely solved my issue and I know what to do next time to avoid this. Thanks again!
Hi Biancak,
Glad to help, and thanks for the greenie. Another useful setting:
Apple Menu > Shut Down (or Restart) > untick Reopen windows when logging back in

Hello, I have this same problem. i tried the solution given to Bianca (holding the shift key while opening Pages), but it don't work. Actually, it stopped working whale I was working on a document, no long, no images... Thanks for any help.
