Asking for a new version of Pages...which I already have

I am running Mavericks
When I tried to open a Pages doc this morning I got a message saying I needed a newer version of Pages to open it. I already have Pages 5 and was able to open this document yesterday.
I went to Applications and opened Pages 5 from there  and the document then opened.
I did a search and discovred I still have Pages 4.3 in iwork on my Mac so I assume that, for some reason, the Mac was trying to use 4.3 to open the doc.
How do I make the Mac use Pages 5 as a default? Can I just delete Pages 4.3 from within iWork?

You can just delete the Pages 4.3 app, BUT you may not want to. There is a lot of negative feedback from users about the new version 5.0 as many functions and features have been removed - much to the horror of many.
Apple announced this week that some of the deleted functionality would be re-introduced to the iWork apps over the next 6 months. If you rely on iWork for anything other than the simplest of use you may want to hold off deleting the older version.
There are quite a few threads on these forums discussing the new, unimproved iWork.

  • It says i need to download the new version of pages but i already have. What do i do!?

    my mac pages wont let me access any of the documents i have editied on my ipad with the new update. Every time i click on a document it says u need to download the new softwhere, but i already have! So why isnt it working! i need to access those files asap

    Are you sure you're trying to open these files in Pages 5? Installing the updates does not remove previous versions of the iWork apps & if you have a Dock icon for the previous version that will also not be deleted.

  • ICloud asks for a new .me account.. but I already have one!

    Hi,
    I just updated to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and I noticed that, in order to sync notes with iCloud, you need to use a .me account.
    iOS prompts me to create a new .me account but what if I already have a .me account? It does not allow me to use the old one.
    For the instance, my account @ Apple is with a GMail address and the .me address I have was created more than a year ago in order to test the old mobileMe.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks in advance,
    M

    i am having the same problem.  I already have a .me account and when switching to icloud it keeps asking me to create a new one. 
    any suggestions?
    thanks

  • How do I add extra pages to template documents in the new version of pages which carry over the same formatting, borders etc?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how how to add extra pages to template documents in the new version of Pages which carry over the same formatting, borders, styles etc? In iWorks09, all styles, borders etc just used to carry over to the next page. In the new Pages, this doesn't seem to happen. Unless I'm missing something.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Everything is a matter of degree! (Speaking for myself).
    Review and rate Pages 5 in the App Store and if you are interested check out all the changes here:

  • My Roboform passwords did not transfer when I downloaded the 4.0.1 version of FF. I downloaded and paid for a new version of Roboform which should have shown up as a toolbar but didn't. Can't seem to solve this problem.

    Windows XP on Dell Dimension 4600. Updated Firefox to 4.0.1 successfully but Roboform didn't transfer. Help told me I needed to update Roboform. I did and paid for a new version(7.?)which was $9.95. Roboform wants more details but I can't tell what they want. I'm baffled and frustrated since all my passwords are hidden somewhere. Wish I'd never upgraded FF.

    Nothing is working and I can't find the Roboform toolbar. Your lack of direct support is really irritating- a live chat at least would be helpful.

  • Version 9,0,3 (15) of iTunes asking for a new version of Safari !

    I uploaded the new version of iTunes but since I can not connect to the Store, iTunes is asking for Safari 4.0.3 when I have Safari 3.1.2. I am on Mac OS 10.4.8 and when I upgrade all the software, this version 4.0.3 of Safari is never proposed.
    Is 4.0.3 linked with Leopard that I never installed ?
    Can I go back to the version before of iTunes ?
    Is 4.0.3 compatible with Mac OS 10.4.9 ?
    Thanks for your help
    Arnaud

    i believe if you upgrade to 10.4.11 (use the combo updater http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_4_11_Combo_Update__Intel), you will be able to install the current Safari and use the new version of iTunes.

  • Why do my numbers documents not open and ask for a newer version

    trying open numbers docs, told need newer version to open them, go to apps search for updates and none exist, *** Apple??? please tell me how to commence and open my business docs to do my work?

    Hi Kiwi Wodner,
    This is confusing to a lot of people. When you downloaded the new version of Numbers (this would have happened automatically unless you turned off 'Install app updates' in System Preferences > App Store) the old version remained on your Mac. The new version is in Applications. The old version is in a subfolder within Applications. The icons look similar so it's easy to think you're trying to open a document with the new version whereas in fact the old version has been activated and is trying to open it.
    If you tend to open documents from Finder then right-click and Open With ... Numbers.app (3.0).
    Or you can open Numbers 3.0 (the one in the Applications folder, not the iWork '09 subfolder) and open the document from there.
    Any icons you had on the Dock before the upgrade are of course still pointing to the old version.

  • Why can't I install the newer version of Flash when I already have the older one?

    My virus software is turned off. I have Flash currently on my computer. In the troubleshooting page I can see the clouds in the picture so I know my current flash is working.  I went into the internet settings for add-ons and the flash is currently enabled.  Why can't I install the newer version of Flash? I tried the run and save option and it still didn't work. I can see the installer in my downloads folder. But, all I get is a black blank box that does nothing. What else can I try to get the installer to actually install the updated version of flash?

    Try the offline installer(s)
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Flash Player for Mac OS X

  • I have updated my numbers app on my desktop, but now I can't open files I have saved to my desktop. It tells me that it can't be opened and there is a newer version of numbers. I already have that. What to do?

    Does anyone have an answer? I can't get apple support. I have files that I need that I can't open because I get an error that there is a new version of numbers, but I have already downloaded it.

  • When I try to email a photo from my iphone it ask for my id and password then says you already have an account?

    When I try to email a photo from my iphone it ask for my id and password, then it says you already have an account?

    I figured out that I could use the message selection it gives and just type in my email address and it worked.  I dont know why the email selection never worked, it just kept asking me to enter id and password and then telling me I have an account?  I will be getting the newest phone so I can be rid of this ancient one: )

  • Current version of Flash CC installed, but getting error message asking for a newer version?

    With the latest download of Flash Professional CC, I'm trying to install the toolkit for CreateJS but getting the following error:
    "this extension can not be installed, it requires Flash version in range of inclusively between 12 and 12"
    I have installed all the current versions of Flash Professional CC, Adobe Extension Manager CC and the CC itself. Restarted the computer and installed all updates that it found. I have the most current versions of the applications, but I'm still getting the above error - what can I do?
    Thanks for your help!

    Flash Pro CC is version 13. It appears to need Flash CS6 to function. If you have CC then CS6 is a download in your cloud membership.

    Please give some advice about this question. Thank you.
