Question

I recently upgraded to Yosemite. Now in my Pages documents I cannot select/edit any objects or images. Help Please!

I just recently updated my MacBook Pro to Yosemite 10.10.2

I also updated my "Pages" when asked to.

Now when a open any of my Pages documents, I cannot select/edit any of the objects/images in those documents.

I have gone through the "Pages" help but still cannot solve the problem.

There used to be a "make background objects selectable" button, but I can no longer find it.

I have tried the "arrange tab" > section masters > make master objects selectable, but nothing happened

Any suggestions

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

You may need to first Import your documents saved from a prior version of Pages.

Thanks for replying...

How do I import previous documents? Do I need to import each individual document as I use them (I have hundreds) or can I import all documents?

This may help: iWork for Mac- Importing and exporting iWork '09 documents. I don't use iWork, so I'm afraid I cannot be of much more help.

You would need to import each document as you use it. However, one you re-save it from the current version you won't need to import it again. I don't know if anyone has released a batch imported. You might check at the App Store.

Hello Kappy,

I checked out your link and I remember the import box popping up when I upgraded from iWork to Pages a few years ago. My problem is with all files (even documents created with "pages" last week. The documents open fine, I just cannot select/edit the objects/images in the background of my documents. Yes, I have tried going through all of the tab menus and layout options and tried "pages" help.

So my problem is that I cannot open documents and adapt them to my next lesson, etc.

Anyone else have any suggestions?

Perhaps your installation or download of Pages is corrupted. You may want to delete it and re-download then re-install it. Does anything change if you reboot the computer?
