The App Store says I have Pages 5.0 installed, but I only have 4.3.

The Apple App Store says that I already have Pages 5.0 installed, and my Pages app is up to date. But when I look in my "about Pages" it says I only have 4.3. This is a problem because I can't open any of my documents that I put in the icloud, because I have to have Pages 5.0. But I was able to put them there using 4.3. Please tell me wha the heck is going on.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

    The App Store says I have updates for I-Photo and Garage Band.  When I try to update I get the following message: You have updates available for other accounts  To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."  Both apps came with my computer and as far as I know I only have one Apple account.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.

    Thanks for you reply.  I'm 99% positive that I'm using the user id and password that I used to set up my computer.  That's why I'm stumped.  I read the solution someone else suggested (type your user name without @gmail and create a new password.  When I tried it, I was asked for my birthday.  It didn't recognize it.  I know I got my birthday correct. Oh well...

  • The App Store says I have 3 apps that need to be updated but when I go to update no apps show up

    The App Store says I have 3 apps that need to be updated but when I go to update no apps show up

    I have a similar problem and have had this before.
    I rang Apple the first time and they said because I had 2 Apple ID's this can happen so I cancelled one Apple ID (which is another problem and drama in itself) and that resolved the issue.
    I now have the problem again with only one Apple ID so I've transferring purchases from my iPhone and iPad to iTunes. Then I synced again and hoped for the best. Unlucky! Didn't work. Time to call Apple support again...

  • Had to uninstall iWork trial since I bought the pages app and it wouldn't let me print or save.  Now the app store says I have pages installed but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it.  I'm not very computer savvy and am getting frustrated!

    Ooops, guess I didn't need to post everything in the title - sorry!  I bought the pages app - but couldn't save or print so with some online searching found that I had to uninstall the iWork trial which had expired.  I did that - but now I can't figure out how to re-install the pages app!!  The app store says it's installed, but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it.  I'm not very computer savvy - and am a first time Mac user and am getting extremely frustrated!  I e-mailed some help center and they can't seem to help me either.  I would appreciate any help/advice that can fix my problem - thanks in advance!!

    OK Apple has stuffed up the demo version upgrade process so the first thing you need to do is get rid of the demo.
    That includes getting rid of the files in the system.
    The instructions how to do that are here:
    Note That where you see / that is the sequence of folders, each nested inside each other.
    User/Library/Preferences the com.apple.iwork.Keynote.plist
    Means the User (you, the little home icon, whatever you are called on your computer) then the Library folder inside that and then the Preferences folder inside that.
    Lion initially hides the System folders from you so you have to go to the Finder > Menu > hold down the option key and click on GO > Library to see it.

  • I just bought 2 $15 iTunes cards to buy Lion and the App Store says I have insufficient funds.

    In the app store it says Lion costs 29.99. is there some taxes that I'm not aware of? I have never had a problem redeeming cards for iTunes or the App Store before.

    If there isn't sufficient credit from your iTunes card then the balance is charged to your credit or debit card. If you don't have a credit card setup in your iTunes billing payment information then the purchase will not go through. Yes, taxes do apply depending on your residence.
    Click Account under Quick Links right side of the Mac App Store window.
    Click Edit to the right of Payment Information. If you update your billing info make sure and click Done when you are finished.

  • Why does the App Store say I have no space on my MacBook Air?

    I have 26.3GBs free on my new MacBook Air. I am trying to buy/download RAGE from the App Store (12.x)GBs and so I have more than enough space for it.
    Every time I try and buy it, it tells me I do not have enough disk space to purchase the application! What in the world is going on?
    Thanks

    Ds store is NOT correct. I don't have Java installed, and I never get those Java updates in the App Store. They will only show up if you have Java installed.
    However, you say you REMOVED Java. There's really no good way to remove all components of Java once installed, so you still have some parts of Java installed somewhere, and that's triggering the updates.
    Don't worry about removing Java, just disable it in any web browsers you use. See:

  • The app store says I have an update available, but I never purchased or downloaded this app. How do I get rid of the notification.

    I have a app update notification for an app that I never purchased, nor did I download a free one. It wants me to sign in as someone else. I also tried to download the app so I can update it, and it won't allow me to.

    same discussion in here..

  • The app store says i have Angry birds but do not, how do i get read of it?

    This is not my email, how do i get read of this app?

    Do a search in this Mac App Store forum for pirated apps and you will find instructions about how to locate and remove your pirated app.

  • I have been working on a document in Pages 4.3 and now it tells me I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. When I look up Pages 5.2 the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button.

    My OS is 10.9.3.I've been working on a document in Pages 4.3. Now is says I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. The Pages 5.2 page in the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button. How do I get Pages 5.2?

    If you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, you may be trying to open the file with a previous version of Pages. If this is the case, you have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
    Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

  • App Store says there is one update available. But the Updates page shows a blank screen. Have tried syncing with iTunes on mac

    App Store says there is one update available. But the Updates page shows a blank screen. Have tried syncing with iTunes on mac as well. But nothing seems to work. Am using Iphone 5 6.1.4. Help

    Next time that happens while on WiFi, turn WiFi off in settings, wait about 30 seconds or so, then turn WiFi back on. Sometimes you have to do this two or three times, but this fixes that issue as well.

  • Can't open documents "you will need a newer version of pages..get upgrade at app store" App store says I have the current version.

    Can't open documents some as recent as yesterday. "you will need a newer version of Pages...you can upgrade from the app store" The app store indicates i have the current version, upgrade not appropriate. A relatively new problem.

    Actually, there seems to be a bit of a bug.  Encountered this with a couple of files my wife made.  The files were set to "open with" the new Keynote, but clicking the file brought up this error.  Right-clicking and selecting "open with..." worked correctly.  I can only assume the OS was attempting to open the file with Keynote '09 despite the file property setting.
    Probably requires a Launch Services DB reset (although I haven't actually tried it on my wife's MBA yet...since she's still "working on stuff".  So I can't confirm if it will solve the problem).
