Can't install iWork free trial!

Help! I have downloaded the free trial as per instructions but am stuck at a window which tells me no application is specified to open the application. Any advice?
I'm used to apple software being very easy to install...this has never happened before ... maybe I'm spoiled...

It would seem your Mac/OS X is confused about which program to use. A couple of possible causes are that you did not use Disk Utility to repair permissions after an update/upgrade &/or you have deleted the Installer.app. Deleting the application would be difficult since it is buried in the System.
OS X confusion is easy to fix. Highlight the iWork installer package in the Finder, highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose Installer.app. If this is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the Installer.app located in HD > System > Library > Core Services. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with Installer.app.

  • Can't find iWork free trial version

    Hi
    I've been looking for the iWork free trial version download without success.
    I found Aperture's.
    TIA
    Nick

    Hi Kyn
    Thanks for the tip. I installed it and could start evaluating it.
    One of my issues is that the iMac display dimensions are non-standard and hence by default a presentation in PowerPoint of Keynote doesn't use the complete width. I found by chance the way to adapt the presentation proportions to the monitor.
    Regards

  • 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

    On how many computers in the household can we install iWork, is it 2, and then move on to Family Pack?

  • I bought my first mac in May. Can i get iWork free now that i have Mavericks?

    I bought my first mac in May. Can i get iWork free now that i have Mavericks?

    Hey ItsaJimThing,
    Great question. Apple announced that qualifying Mac purchases after October 1st, 2013 would be eligible for the Up-To-Date program. Unfortunately, from the information you provided, it does not sound like your Mac qualifies for this program.
    Apple - Up-to-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote
    http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/
    On October 22, 2013, Apple announced that its Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps are available free with every qualifying new Mac. If you purchased a qualifying Mac on or after October 1, 2013, that did not include Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, you can download them free by following the steps below.
    You can still enjoy all of the great benefits of the new iWork suite by purchasing it from the Mac App Store. Or, if you had previously purchased iWork ’09, feel free to update to the new versions by visiting the updates section:

  • Want to install a free trial

    I downloaded a free trial for Adobe InDesign today on my Mac (OS X 10.9, Mavericks). I wasn't able to install the free trial as it only gave me a perpetual beach ball. I trashed the file and now I can't download the free trial for Adobe InDesign at all. I need to try it before I decide whether to buy/subscribe. Can you help?
    Katherine

    No, I login to my Adobe account and downloaded free trial directly. Is it my OS 10.9.4 the problem?

    SOrry, but this is pointless. You have not provided the exact system specs, so we can't tell you anything. Just claiming they would be sufficient doesn't really mean anythin here because we can't verify them. There clearly is a reason why you get those warnings...

  • I am trying to INSTALL the free trials of AI and PS when I click on the link to install it goes to another page says installing but nothing is happening. I have the FREE TRIAL Creative Cloud Membership.

    I am trying to INSTALL the free trials of AI and PS when I click on the link to install it goes to another page says installing but nothing is happening. I have the FREE TRIAL Creative Cloud Membership.
    I am getting very frustrated with this. When I try to install the Creative Cloud thing it asks me to pay even though it says try for free.

    Hi Mirrormonolith,
    Please try the following steps assuming its a MAC:
    1) Open Activity monitor and Force quit Adobe CEF Helper, Creative cloud, Adobe IPC Broker & Crash Deamon if available.
    2) Try to open, if doesn't work then go to Applications>> Adobe Creative cloud>> Right click>> Get Info>> Click on the Add sign>> Select the user you are logged in>> Give Read and write access.
    3) If that doesn't work then enable the root user and launch to update there, check this link on how to enable/sign in to root user Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
    Please let me know of that worked.

  • I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!!

    I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!! Why is this? Does anyone have this problem?

    When you report a problem you should always try to include as much relevant information as possible. Saying "it doesn't work, help me!" is not very helpful to us, because there could be a million reasons for it not working... What exactly happens when you try to convert a PDF to Word? Are there any error messages? How exactly are you trying to do it? Also, what operating system do you use? What version of Word? What exactly version of Acrobat? etc.
