Pages keeps crashing after new update, Pages keeps crashing after new update

I too am finding that since I have updated to Mavericks and the updated pages, that it will not open past the New details page. It keeps on closing saying Pages closed unexpectedly press relaunch....which then just keeps looping round.

Please I like pages and I love apple mac but ........

Not working for me either, Pages, Numbers and Keynote all the same across all of my ios devices.

Apple please sort this out!

Same problem here - also use it for work. I'm having another issue too - I open a new document when I'm in the office to enter client details, take my ipad on a site visit where i am not connected to the net, open Pages to access the document I created and it opens for a few seconds before giving me the message "This document was deleted from another location" and it disappears! Frustration abounds.

Same problem here, Pages, Numbers and Keynote crash upon start when iCloud is enabled on my iPad mini after the update to iOS 7. I moved all documents to local storage on a Mac to start from scratch and the problem persists. This is unacceptable since it impairs usage of iPads and iWork for business applications. Apple, please prioritize it solution of this serious software fault.

after last night's update, Pages app doesn't work at all on iPad or iPhone; once opened it crashes, if I disable iCloud it just remains frozen.

Similar here. Pages suddenly just closes after the very first moments of opening on my iPod Touch 5th gen. My new iPad Mini Retina is due to arrive in 18 minutes (courier just called), and I am disappointed that it looks like I won't be able to use it at work until this Pages problem is fixed.

Same problem

One solution I stumbled upon is to go onto your iCloud account on a Mac, and delete any empty folders that you see. I went to make sure I had not lost anything after the app crashed, and came across a few empty folders that I didn't create. I deleted them, and have not had any crashes since then.

About 5pm today mountain time this iWorks/iCloud sync was solved for me. Maybe Apple fixed it. However, their senior engineers had not solved it by 3pm. I am using Mavericks and iOS 7. Deleting/installing the iWorks apps on my iOS devices did not solve the problem. What may have solved the problem was:

(1) quit the iWorks apps on my Mac and turn off iCloud syncing for the iWorks apps on my iOS devices

(2) copy/move the Pages/Numbers/Keynotes folders from the Mobile Documents Folder (MDF) on my Mac to the Desktop

(3) restart the iWorks apps on my Mac when no iWorks Folders were left in the MDF

(4) restarting the iWorks apps on my Mac created new empty iWorks Folders in the MDF

(5) copy the iWorks files from the Desktop back to their corresponding folders in the MDF

(6) restart iCloud syncing for the iWorks apps on my iOS devices

(7) the iCloud documents started appearing again on my iOS devices

My thought was that these iWorks Folders were corrupted in the MDF and must be backed up to my Mac and deleted from the MDF. Anyway, the problem seems fixed.

Since the latest updates, Pages and Numbers started working fine with iCloud/document sharing switched on. Still had problems with Keynote however.

I tried removing everything from the Mobile Documents folder but still had same problem of Keynote crashing. It did get me thinking though.

I removed ALL old Keynote '09 presententions from my iCloud and left new presentations or convereted ones only.

This did the trick so I have gradually converted all old '09 presentations to new Keynote (which has also meant some reworking of the presentations) and Keynote now works fine from all of my IOS devices with document sharing through iCloud switched on.

I hope this helps and works for some others if not everyone as it has been a real pain for me and my work.

Well, amsg's trick solved it (see above). Pages iOS is no longer crashing and it is running much more smoothly. Apple really needs to fix this as this takes a little bit of "know how" to fix on ones own and I'm certain there is a large group of people out there who can't do it on their own and now cannot use their Pages App. Thanks amsg.

I will try amsg's solution as my pages has been crashing on iPad, iPhone and Mac since update. It is very worrying.

Solved my issue...

I had almost 100 Keynotes in iCloud, some of which were created with iWork 08.

I used my Macbook to move all of the Keynotes to the desktop and then deleted all of the files in iCloud so that iCloud was empty.

I then reinstalled Keynote on my iPad (deleted and then re-downloaded)

The updated Keynote opened with no problem.

I then uploaded only a few recent Keynote files. No problems. Keynote on the iPad is now running smoothly.

I'm guessing the crashing has something to do with older Keynote files hanging up the new Keynote and iCloud.

1. So the suggestion would be to remove all of your Keynote files and save them locally.

2. Re-install Keynote on the iPad.
