What makes you say that?

Not sure what that has to do with JPEG files, but okay.

What message? You have yet to post a message.

Is asking for help here or elsewhere out of the question?

It seems like you are talking about changing the default application for
JPEG files. If you want to do that for all of them:
1. Select one of the JPEG files in a Finder window.
2. Choose File > Get Info from the Finder menu bar.
3. In the Open With section of the Info window, set the application you
want to use to open that type of file.
4. Click the Change All button just below that to set the same
application as the default application for all files of that type.
Since you haven't even explained what exact steps you are taking, it's
going to be hard for anyone to help you without pulling teeth.

What exactly is this so-called "foto page" to which you refer? How have
you tried to open it, and how has that failed?

Preview will add text to images. So will Pixelmator, Affinity Photo, and
numerous others, both free and commercial.

Pages would be one of the *last* applications I would use to add text to
images.

Nah, you can do that for all files of that type easily, as described
above. That functionality has been around for ages through many OS X
releases.

Ah, now it sounds like you want to add images to a page of text. That
sounds more like the job for a word processor. Pages may be overkill for
that, depending on your needs, though, since it's more geared towards
page layout type stuff.
Have you tried TextEdit? It's included with OS X and can do simple
things with images and text.
Have you tried Bean? It's a free nice word processor:
