HT202879 iWorks '09 won't work on OSX 10.8.5, even after the update.
Recently, I updated my MBP to OSX 10.8.5, Mountain Lion, and none of the iWorks '09 applications will open, e.g. Keynote, Numbers, Pages. I used a an iWorks '09 version that I had on my iMac, OSX 10.6.8, Snow Leopard. After migrating the software from my iMac onto the MBP, I ran the update right away. It is now updated to 4.3, the latest version. However, I am getting the same error I got before running the iWorks update. The error reads as follows:
Keynote (or any of the other iWorks applications) cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure (Keynote) works with the version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates from the application and OSX. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iWorks '09 several times, but to no avail. I have also read other Apple forum postings about the subject, but none of them seem very clear on how to fix the problem. Is there anyone, who could help me with this?
Thank you in advance!
Donkey,
I think you may be leaving out some details that would be helpful in determining what has gone wrong.
iWork apps seem to prefer being reinstalled from the original media when being put on a new computer, rather than using migration tools or simply copying them to the new machine.
Apple applications are updated via Software Update, and if version the only problem that may fix it.

I have updated my laptop too on windows update just so you know but not sure what else to do ?
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

I phone 4s won't charge anymore only 8 wks old and after the update we just got to do
My I phone 4s is 8 weeks old. I did the os update a few days ago and today when i went to use my phone it said it was low on charge. I tried plugging it in to the computer no help. I used my wifes cord from her I phone and still no good. My wifes phone charges on both cables and she also did the os update at the same time. I called verizon an after some trouble shooting with them they passed me over to a different tech support. They told me that about 2 out of every 10 I phones get this problem and they will have to send me a new one in the mail. Wow 20 pct of the I phones have this issue. So now i'm assuming that I'm not going to be able to get my contacts or pictures out of this phone. I'm just wondering if it was caused by the os that I upgraded too but all the post i see on line are of the battery draining faster than before havn't found a post about this issue
You can call Verizon to replace it or go to an applestore to replace it since it won't even power on with multiple chargers.

Have you tried all three or just restart? -
Isight won't work in OSX, works in boot camp (XP SP3)
Hi everyone,
Within the last few weeks, my iSight camera stopped working. I went through every troubleshooting step recommended by Apple with no luck. I gave up hope and was ready to take it to the Apple store, but decided to see if it would work in windows... strangely enough it works great, but still won't work in OSX. I'd like to avoid taking it to the store, so any help is greatly appreciated!Welcome to Discussions, bluejayDDS
... I'd like to avoid taking it to the store ...
You can the following three things (listed in order of increasing effort on your part) before seeking professional help:
(1) Apply the latest (10.5.7) Combo Updater using the following procedure:
• Backup all your important files.
• Use your Mac's Disk Utility to Repair disk permissions (different from repairing the "disk").
• Download and apply the Mac OS X 10.5.7 Combo Update.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate
• Repair permissions again immediately following the restart that completes the install.
(Don't worry about corrections if Disk Utility reports that all repairs have been completed.)
• Launch only the OS X app you are trying to use with iSight and test to see if iSight works correctly.
Using the above process to apply the Combo Updater sometimes solves problems that occur after using your Mac's Software Update... to update Mac OS.
(2) If your problem still exists, reinstall OS X using the "Archive and Install" options explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
Be certain that you have backed up all important files before you reinstall OS X.
(3) If your problem is not resolved by Archive and Install, you can completely Erase and Install all your Mac's software.
Erasing your iMac's hard disk and reinstalling all software as described in the Erase and Install section of http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1545 might correct a problem that remains after an Archive and Install.
Erase and Install is a lot of work, but sometimes it is the only way to get rid of something on the disk that is causing problems.
(4) If none of that works, see your Apple Service Technician for professional help.

I'm having all kinds of problems since loading Lion and I really wish I hadn't bought it yet. Even after the software update today, 1. my modem still won't work, 2. Photoshop Elements produces muddy photo prints, 3. View preferences in windows don't hold, etc. Anybody at Apple listening? Anybody else out there having these kinds of problems?
10.7 was horrible unstable so I waited until 10.7.1 and tried it again. Well I have to say that it is still a defective OS. I am reverting to Snow as we speak from my carbon clone copy.. This is really the worst OSX I have ever used. It gives me random Kernel panics for no reasons, unstable airport and hundreds of small issues that are just not necessary. For instance I can't use QuickTime in Lion to trim a videoclip ( the UI goes mad and the trimslider becomes inoperable and hangs the Player window ) while in Snow it is no problem. Itunes gives me crackling sound when the equalizer is turned on, Graphical glitches in Photoshop, games crashing, Preview.app not working with some pdfs, so I need Adobes reader which I never used before.. It is definately not ripe for mass usage. Might 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 fix it, but not yet.
* and just for the records : the hardware is absoltely ok. Because in Snow it works as it should. ( So many Lion fanbois are talking : "your Ram is defect", defintely NOT. - Lion is defect! ).
Shame on you Apple.

I just updated my Iphone 3G and now it won´t work anymore. It wouldn´t even boot. It was just working for 3 sek. after the installation and now it shut itself down. Any help, please? Thankyou
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
You also said: "It also will not let me download any music onto it." What happens when you try to sync music to the iPod? -

Hi Hal,
One possibility, is a strange occurence when applying the big 10.5.8 combo, most people have to Repair Permissions twice in a row, then reboot. -

Your home button must be damages somehow. i know that you can use your phone without it using an accessibility feature called assisstive touch. It is a little icon that will always be on your device's display and can function as a home button. This is only a temporary solution. Eventually you should see if you qualify for some kind of replacement.

my sound won't work on my ipod 5. I plugged the speakers in and it works fine. When the headphones aren't plugged in and I turn the volume up it says that they are plugged in. Please help !
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. (this was already sugested) There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

I just transferred my garage band songs from my iphone to my mac. Why won't garage band open them? I just upgraded to ilife '11. Still won't work. Garage Band cannot open files in the "data" format.. Any Ideas?
Are you trying to transfer the GarageBand projects or the rendered audio files? What version of GarageBand do you have on your iPhone?
I do not think you can share your GarageBand projects from your iPhone to GarageBand on your Mac, unless you have iCloud, afaik, only the audio files.
How did you transfer the song?
To share from an IOS device the Projects or audio files, see: Share GarageBand songs
