Pages died today. Just downloaded the latest update 2 days ago. Last night shutting down my very new MacBook Pro, Pages stopped shut down. Today Pages will not open, all my Pages docs cannot open. Help please! Anybody have a fix?

You probably have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.


Pages 5 in your Applications folder, will open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them. It can not open Pages '08 files.


Pages '08/'09 in your Applications/iWork folder which can not open Pages 5 files.


When you were shutting down you probably had an unsaved document open.


You probably are opening the wrong versions of Pages to open the wrong document format.


Pages 5 has had over 90+ features removed.


Most users are going back to Pages 09 whilst Apple sorts this out.
