Can I delete iWork '06?

I have installed iWork '08 on two intel macbooks - I did not have any previous versions of iWork. On the new macbook, with Leopard pre-installed, only iWork '08 was installed but on my older "Tiger" macbook the same procedure resulted in both i Work "06 and "08 being installed. Can I delete iWork "06 from my "Tiger" macbook or does it need both for some reason?
Thanks for your help.
Adrian

Adrian,
No, there's no reason you must have two versions. Just open up your Applications folder and drag the iWork '06 folder to the trash. Make sure you're not also trashing any of your personal files with it.

Can I delete iWork '06 once i've installed '08?

I bought the family pack of iWork '08 after installing and using a trial version of '08 and previously had iWork '06 installed. '06 is about 2 gigs while '08 is about 0.7 gigs and I'm on a gig diet. I'm concerned about doing thsi because my hunch is that '08 is using the (unchanged) resources of the '06 version and they are thus necessary. It looks like the trial version has already been converted or written over.
Can I delete '06 without a problem or just stay put?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I am repeating myself, but some time ago I wrote this in another post about the size of iWork '06:
The historic aspect is fascinating. On my first computer I had a perfectly well working word processor on less than a 720k diskette. Let's assume I bought a new one of those diskettes every day Monday to Friday every week for one year. If I placed them on top of each other in a pile, they would reach about the same height as a three year old child.
The amount of data I then would have is roughly the same as what Pages spends on one single picture in one single template in one single language - the guitar in the Lesson Flyer template. If that one had been removed from the templates in all languages, Pages would have been 160 Megabytes smaller. If it had been compressed to high quality JPEG instead of non-compressed TIFF, Pages would have gained 150 Megabytes.

Can't Delete iWork Documents

Whenever I try to empty the trash with an iWork document inside, it says they're in use, but I didn't open them at all.

When they've been in the trash for a while, they can be emptied. I think it's answered.

Can I delete iWork'06 after iWork'09 retail install ?

I see that my iWork'06 folder at Applications is ~1.95Gb which I would like to free from the HD. Is there any problem if I do that? I've already installed the retail version of iWork'09

KeyNote '09 can no longer save to Flash.
Other things have changed as well. Some for the better.

I can't delete apps on my iPad does anybody knows how to fix it. Also I can't open any iWork apps ,they open but won't show anything.

I can't delete apps on my iPad does anybody knows how to fix it. Also I can't open any iWork apps ,they open but won't show anything.

If the whole iPad freezes then something else is going on. Try this next. Close all apps in the recents tray and restart your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

I have Microsoft Office 2008 and only use Word and Excel. It takes 980 mb. I am considering replacing it with Apple iWorks 2013. If I do, can I delete Office, and still access and modify my Word and Excel documents?

Just adding to what CSound has said.
Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.

Can i delete songs from ipod touch once i upload them to icloud, can i delete songs from ipod touch once i upload them to icloud

once you upload songs,photos or documents fron ipod touch to icloud, can you delete them from ipod touch to free up memory from ipod touch and can you access them from icloud without downloading to ipod?

You can't upload music to iCloud unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber, and if you are the songs are uploaded or matched from the iTunes library on your computer, not your device. Photos are only uploaded to Photo Stream temporarily (30 days), for up to 1000 photos so it's not meant to be a permanent storage option. The uploaded photos are also generally of lower quality than the originals on your device. Also, only photos taken on your device after turning on Photo Stream are uploaded. Finally, when you turn Photo Stream on, uploaded photos will be streamed back to your device in a Photo Stream album (so it actually uses some of your memory rather than saving it). As for documents, only iWork documents are uploaded.
If you really want to free up storage on your device consider more permanent cloud storage services such as DropBox (which will handle photos and all documents).

How can I delete an unwanted template from 'My Templates'?

How can I delete an unwanted template from 'My Templates'? I created this in error and cannot find a way to remove it. Thanks for all help.

Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. The user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.
I suggest you update your profile to show your current version of OS X. Click on "Your Stuff" at the top right of this page & choose profile (bottom of the list) then click edit.

I can't delete my templates in iPages now that I am running Lion.

Any Suggestons? There is no Application support or Library folder in my home file.

These folders are hidden because many users did odd things with them.
Here are three ways to get rid of that.
(1) go to to the menu "Go to" (Aller in French) and type :
~/Library
(2) press option and go to the menu "Go To". The item Library will be available
(3) run this AppleScript
--{code}
do Shell Script "chflags nohidden ~/Library"
--{code}
This one unhidde the folder so you need it only once. Keep the script because maybe an update may reset the hidden flag.

Pages 4.3 (332MB) and Pages 5.0 (455MB) are both installed on my macbook, can I delete Pages 4.3 from my application folder?

Pages 4.3 (332MB) and Pages 5.0 (455MB) are both installed on my macbook, can I delete Pages 4.3 from my application folder?
I recently (after upgrading to Mavericks) installed Pages 5.0 (iWorks ’09 with Pages 4.3 was already installed on my Macbook). When I try to open a pages document, I sometimes get the message 'you need a newer version of Pages to open this document.' When I ctrl-click the pages document and select the program Pages 5.0, the document opens in Pages '05. Other Pages documents open in Pages 4.3. How do I select Pages 5.0 as default program to open my documents? And how do I do that, since pages preferences do not give that possibility? And can I delete pages 4.3 after making pages '05 the default. Or is there another way to solve this?
kind regards, Sadrach

Using Get Info to change all documents to open with Pages 4.3 doesn't work. It will work on individual files, but that could be a lot of files to reset.
This is what works for me. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "other applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This should also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update. Others have renamed the '09 iWork apps & set them as default.

Is it possible to delete iwork documents off my Mac but keep them saved in iCloud?

Hello,
Is it possible to delete iwork documents off my Mac but keep them saved in iCloud?
Thanks in advance

In Finder preferences > General, I changed New Finder windows show: from All My Files to my short login name. This reduces the confusion in presented files.
You can control where you retrieve or save iWork documents via the open and Save.../Save As... dialogs -- or with drag & drop -- be that local or iCloud. I have Pages documents in iCloud that do not reside on my local disk. I can always retrieve them from iCloud to local storage as needed. You certainly can remove a local copy of a document that you already have saved in iCloud.
The act of saving a document to iCloud does not create a duplicate (backup) copy on your local storage.

Can I install IWorks 9 on my new MacBook Pro along with the free version now included ?

I have IWorks 09 for my Mac desktop. I'm purchasing a MacBook Pro shortly and would like to have the same version of IWorks on both PCs. Can I install IWorks 09 on the MacBook which comes with the new version of IWorks pre-installed ? Or, can I delete the free version and install the 09 version ? I'm relatively new to Macs so this is probably a beginner question.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
New Macs don't come with iWork preinstalled. You have to download it from the Mac App Store.
What you can do is to use Migration Assistant to transfer the files you want, and include Applications, so your iWork apps will be transferred. You will be asked to transfer files from another PC or Mac during the setup of the MacBook Pro.
Then, open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases and download the new iWork applications versions free of charge. By doing this, you will have the old and the new version

When is it advisable to delete iWork 08

When is it advisable to delete iWork 08 if I'm running iWork 09?

Unless you're really pressed for hard drive space, keep iWork '08. In addition to being able to save documents as '05 or '06, you can export to Flash from Keynote (a feature dropped in '09).
