jeffsqartan Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 When I double click on a file to open in Pages or Photoshop (I'm not sure if other programs in those suites are having the same problem), if the application isn't already open, then it will start, and give me an error "The document “X” couldn’t be opened" (Pages) and "Could not load default menus because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop" (Photoshop). However, if the program is already running then it has no problem opening the exact same files. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffsqartan Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 I fixed Photoshop by reinstalling. I have reinstalled Pages multiple times, but with no luck.

TH3L4UGH1NGM4N Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Don't worry I know what it's like to post in a topic and completely forget about it >.> You have QE enabled right and if so I'm hoping it isn't that pages file that you have that is corrupted. If you can create a new pages file and save it then it might be that sspecific file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffsqartan Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 I looked up how to check if QE is enabled, got this page http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/Enable_Quartz_Extreme_and_Quartz_2D_Extreme I did the: sudo -s defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver GLCompositor got 256x256 so from what it says, QE is enabled. And I'm pretty sure ALL of my files aren't corrupted. I mean, I don't see how. And it's not that they can't be opened at all, just if Pages isn't already open they won't open and it gives me that error. So, first double click on the file (pages is completely shut down) and I get error message. Second double click on the file (pages is open in background) and it opens right up no problems. This is on any file that I try to open with Pages. .pages, .rtf, .txt, .doc. Pretty much everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TH3L4UGH1NGM4N Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'm honestly stumped on where to go from this these seem like odd cases it could be due to hardware or software related issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
