Mavericks and Pages '09

Haven't upgraded to Mavericks and this is why -- I'm in the process of moving a lot of written text from the old '09 Pages to Scrivener.
Somewhere I got the idea it would be best not to upgrade until that move is completed. Could some kind person who's doing or better still done the same thing please tell me if this is correct?
Thanking you . . . Fortes

    How do I open an Appleworks file now that I am running Mavericks and Pages?

    Word Processing documents can be opened directly in Pages 4 (AppleWorks 6 only) but this is no longer available - the newPages 5 (Mavericks required) does not open AppleWorks documents. Panergy Software's docXConverter v3.2 ($19.95) can convert Appleworks 5 and 6 Word Processing documents to RTF (though it has been reported that it can only handle documents which contain only text, not those which include images or frames). The latest version of the free LibreOffice has announced that it can open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents and an ability to open ClarisWorks documents has been reported: it does appear to be able to handle at least some embedded images.
    Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store, and you will need v4.0 'Retro' not the most recent version) or Intaglio (though this appears not to be able to handle very complex drawings). LibreOffice will open simple Draw documents but I found it very unreliable with complex ones.
    Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in the older versions of  Numbers - the new version for Mavericks will not do this. The old version is no longer available.
    Presentations can be opened directly only in the older versions Keynote; again, the new version for Mavericks will not do this. The old version is no longer available.
    To use other programs, or open Database documents at all, you must export from AppleWorks first, which means you need a way to run it.
    If you have upgraded to Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks and have AppleWorks documents you cannot open, then you should be able to install Snow Leopard on an external hard disk and start from that (provided that the Mac did not come with anything higher than Snow Leopard originally installed); and success has been reported in running Snow Leopard Server under emulation in Parallels - the method is described here: Snow Leopard Server is available in the Apple Store (by telephone) at a reduced price (at the time of writing) and is preferable to using ordinary Snow Leopard which is quite tricky. I haven't tried this myself: use at your own discretion. You can then run AppleWorks as an emergency measure.

  • Can't open Pages '09 Document (Upgraded to Mavericks and Pages 5.0))

    There is one Pages '09 file that I can not open now that I have upgraded to Mavericks and the new Pages.  Of course it is an assignment that my son needs for school!  When I double-click on it I get the message that the document could not be read, that it does not have a valid format.  I tried opening it with the 4.3 version of Pages, but get the same result.  I also tried to pull the document from the time machine, and same problem.
    Any suggestions/work-arounds?  I tried simply renaming the file format--no luck.  Do I need to repair permissions? 
    I am on a 3-week old iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 with 8GB 1600 MHz DDr3, 1GB old school drive.

    Maybe try what was suggested here:

  • IPad 5.0 and Pages 1.7; Maverick and Pages 5.0

    Recently, I upgraded to Maverick and the latest version of Pages.   I have been using my iPad I with iOS 5.X., and saving documents to my iCloud.  This allows me to work on documents either on my desktop or iPad.  This is no longer true.  Now, documents created on Maverick using Pages 5 I cannot read on my iPad because it requires the latest version of Pages (5) which requires iOS 7.   Of course, my iPad stopped at iOS 5.X.
    I suppose the only work around is to return to an earlier version of Pages.  I perform timed backups, and I could do this.   Is it possible to return to an earlier version of Pages in order to have the capability of viewing and working on documents created on my Desktop on my iPad?     You would think all documents created in Pages are readable by all versions of Pages.  This is not so. 
    Is there anyone else with this the same setup with a better solution?  
    iPad1 iOS 5.1.1, Pages 1.7.2; and Maverick 10.9, Pages 5.0.1

    YES!
    I took a while to figure this out after I got into the same mess. The new iWorks is a very bad downgrade. I have deleted Pages 5 from my Mac and gone back to Pages 4.3 (it is still there and was not removed when you updated to Pages 5.)
    I then removed Pages 2 from my iPad and from iTunes.
    I used TIme Machine to go back to ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications in September and found "Pages 1.7.2.ipa" and brought it forward to my desktop. I then droped it into the iTunes icon in the Dock and it reinstalled.
    Hope this works for you.
    Apple can now take as long as they need to correct all the mistakes they made with the current version of iWorks - I will not be upgrading again until they do.
    Apple - Are you listening?

  • Mavericks and pages '09 (4.3)

    I upgraded to Mavericks and when completed first of all checked several book files all created in pages
    Text in these books had been created with the font Garamond - but something has happened and the font is completely different almost elongated completely changing all the layouts  - and yet it still says its Garamond in the inspector
    I have pdfs of all the book files and it looks completely different
    I am totally perplexed and rather anxious
    see screenshots below
    Any idea as to what has happened and how I can rectify to bring the files back to the originals?
    Gary

    It looks like font substitution in your example.
    In Mavericks, I am using an elderly ITC Garamond Type 1 font. The Garamond OpenType TruType font installed by Mavericks has some Font Book complaints about bold and italic. To duplicate your example layout in this T1 font, required a 13pt book face with 4% character spacing, and line height of 1.2. When I switched to the Mavericks supplied OT TT Garamond for the same block of text/margin settings, I had to increase the 4% character spacing to 7% and reduce line height to 1.1. — just to maintain the same layout. The OT TT Garamond Regular appeared to be lighter than the T1 book, and actually quite close to the T1 Garamond Light typeface.
    Pages ’09 v4.3: ITC Garamond Book (T1), 13 pt, 4% spacing, height 1.2
    Pages v5.2: ITC Garamond Book (T1), 13 pt, 4% spacing, height 1.2 (unchanged from above)
    Pages ’09 v4.3: Garamond Regular OT TT, 13 pt, 7% spacing, height 1.1
    Pages v5.2: Garamond OT TT, 13 pt,  13 pt, 7% spacing, height 1.1

  • I downloaded Maverick and now I can't open pages from the Dock.  The Pages icon just jumps up and down abut doesn't open.  However, I can one pages by clicking on the App. I have an iMac with iWork 08.

    Since upgrading to Maverick from Mountain Lion I am unable to open Pages from the Dock.  When I click on the pages icon in the dock the icon just keeps bouncing up and down.  However, I can open pages by clicking on the icon in the Apps folder.  No problems prior to upgrading to Maverick.

    Quit Pages. Drag its icon out of the Dock. Create a new one by dragging the application into the Dock. Test.

  • How can I open files from Appleworks and Pages 4.3 in Mavericks?

    I have documents I created in Appleworks and Pages 4.3 that I can't open in Pages 5.1 using Mavericks.  How can I open those files?

    Mavericks is the Operating System (OSX).
    LibreOffice [free] may be able to open your AppleWorks files but probably not perfectly.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them.

    THE use of the apple support is a mess also.
    I want to be able to use my MAC fully and easily like I used to with Snow Leopard. 
    What is wrong with this maverick OS?

    The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
    You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

  • I downloaded Mavericks and now when I google a topic and select I then cannot scroll back to the original google page?

    I downloaded Mavericks and now when I google a topic and select one, I then cannot scroll back to the original google page if I wish to try a different answer?

    Sorry, I'm not very good at describing the problem.   If I had multiple browser pages open, prior to downloading Maverick I could swipe the mouse to go back or forward as required.   Now if I google a subject and the page comes up with all the choices and I pick one, I now cannot swipe back to the first page , I have to re-open google each time, type in my seach and start from scratch.  

  • Just upgraded to Maverick and can't get my opening page to stay on GOOGLE. it keeps opening in SITES and then I have to click on GOOGLE.

    I just upgraded to Mavericks and can't get my opening page to stay on GOOGLE. IT keeps opening in SITES and then I have to click on GOOGLE to begin searching. I would rather not hav to go through 2 steps to start everytime. I entered google's address in preferences but it ignores my preference.

    You don't say which browser you are using so I will assume it's Safari. If so then open Safari - Preferences - General tab and look for where you set the home page, just set it to www.Google.com
    If this fails for some reason then  open Safari and reset it (look in the Safari menu) and choose all options for the reset. The re-try setting the preference. Post back with your results.

  • I run Maverick and need to uninstall my pages, keynote and numbers and reinstall them. Are they free on Maverick?

    My Mac Mini was set up by someone else who used his login to install Pages, Keynote and Numbers. Now I cannot update these.
    I need to uninstall these and reinstall them with my login. Are these apps free for Maverick users?

    They are not free unless you purchased them in the past on the App Store. However, if the following applies then you can get them free:
    The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.
    iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.

  • Just installed Maverick, updated Pages. Lost power to computer and now Pages crashes on opening every time.

    I've got an imac 27inch, just installed Maverick and updated Pages. Power went out in my house and now, when I open Pages, it flashes a brief recovering screen (do you want to reopen?) then crashes completely. Need help. Thanks.

    I have the same problem. I have never had a problem with Firefox before, and use it as my main browser. However recently, after updating to 3.6.8, its been crashing all the time. Up to 20 times an hour. Usually it occurs when I click a link from a Google search, or in Yahoo. Even if I send in a crash report and restart Firefox, it crashes as soon as the same page is brought back up, or the same link is clicked. I have also had it crash when completely idle. Its very frustrating as it is my favorite browser. I've resorted to using Google Chrome for the time being.

    thank you Eric, but any of those solutions works because on Maverick the options on itunes: "Tap on the Info pane, then De-select the option to Sync Notes" is not longer available.   Also, I have tried all those steps about de-select sync notes on iphone and mac.  I need a solution that consider working on Maverick.
