Cannot upgrade pages 4.3

I am trying to open a document from the cloud on my imac, but it says i need a newer version of pages. When I go to the app store there are no upgrades available.
How do I open my document?

Probably you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 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 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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 removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • Upgraded to mountain lion, cannot upgrade pages

    Cannot upgrade Pages App after downloading Mountain Lion

    Quite a few users are having this problem. From what I've read of those who have had success, this is what I suggest. It all depends on how you obtained Pages in the first place.
    If you bought Pages from the Mac App Store:
    Delete the Pages.app from your Applications folder. You will need to enter your password to do so.
    Launch Mac App Store & click on Purchases. You should now see an button. Click that, enter your password, if necessary, & you should now have the latest version.
    If you installed Pages from a retail box or purchased a license from the downloaded trial:
    First, you must make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. All three applications must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
    Now, choose Software Update from the Apple menu, from System Preferences or launch the Mac App Store & click Updates. You should get a window similar to this screenshot. Now click the Update button next to iWork 9.2.
    Alternatively, you can download the standalone update here.
    I hope this helps anyone still having problems.

  • Cannot Open Pages Doc after upgrade

    I upgraded to pages 5 on 11/25/13.  I created a pages document on my mac, saved the doc and now the message I get is that I need a newer version of pages to open the document.  Suggestions?

    When you upgraded Pages, the old Pages version was kept. In this case, you are opening the old Pages version by mistake.
    To fix this, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and drag the new Pages version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly. Then, every time you want to open a document, first open Pages by pressing its Dock icon.
    Another option would be to remove the old Pages version, but I do not recommend you to do that. Most users have complained about the lack of features of the new Pages version. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • I have the ipad2 with the latest Os upgrade.  On certain websites, I get the following error message: cannot open page. Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost. I have rebooted, turned off wifi and reset the password.

    This is happening to only certain websites.  Unfortunately, the work ones that I need to access.  I appreciate any help.
    Error message:
    Cannot open page
    Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost
    I reset the wifi and the password, I also rebooted several times.

    Do you have any other browsers on your iPad? If you don't have one, why don't you try downloading one of these free browsers - they will all be "lite" versions (not full featured)  - but if you can access these websites with one of those - then I assume that we can point to Safari as being the culprit. That will not solve the Safari problem, but it will give us another point from which to work.

    I have Mercury, iCab Mobile, Opera, Dolphin and Atomic. iCab Mobile - the paid version is great.
    BTW ... have you tried to access these sites from another WiFi connection - like a library, a friend's house - any other WiFi network?

  • I am just about giving up!  I have upgraded Pages to 0.9 4.3.  Now when i copy text from an incoming email and paste it it pastes in as an Object and I can't work on it.

    I am just about giving up!  I have upgraded Pages to 0.9 (4.3).  Now when I copy text from an incoming email and paste it into Pages it pastes in as an Object and I can't work on it.  It has a border round it and corner markers.  I have never had this problem before.  I have looked at every conceivable thing but cannot find how to get rid of this Object and just paste in the wanted text.  If I fiddle and fiddle within this text I can eventually get a cursor and work on the text - but how on earth can I get rid of the surrounding box?  
    I don't know if this is at all clear but I can't think of any other way to describe this - but it looks like this in Pages with corner and top, bottom and side markers.

    Peter hello - I have been copying and pasting for as long as I can remember and it has NEVER done this before - so why now!? Anyway, Jerry has told me about Paste and Match Style --- yet another new thing! 
    I have also discovered that I don''t need to hold down Option when I go to Save to get Save As -  I can hold down 4 keys (shift, option, command and S) and it will bring up Save As!! 
    Thanks for your response.

  • Cannot upgrade to iWork 9.0.3 running os 10.6.8

    Greetings all,
    I cannot get iWork ’09 to upgrade using Software Update.
    I am running 10.6.8.
    iWorks is installed in /Applications/iWork '09. I have changed neither the name or location of the initial install.
    My specific problem is that pages will no longer open the word documents it once would (.doc, docx).
    I had a hard drive fail, and had to reinstall the os and applications. So, basically, before hard drive fail, running os 10.6.8, I had no problems reading word documents with Pages 4.0.3. Now, after rebuild, I cannot get pages to update from version 4.0.
    Initially, I updated Pages to 4.0.3 under os 10.5.8. Then I upgraded the os to 10.6.8. But after the rebuild, starting with 10.6.3, I’m having problems...
    Help appreciated.

    The fix was to manually upgrade to iWorks 9.0.4. Problems solved.

  • I cannot open Pages files

    After upgrading to Pages 5, I cannot open Pages files sent to me by other people.  It does not matter whether they were created in Pages 08, or Pages 5; if they were created on another computer, I cannot open them. Any thoughts?
    (I use a MacBook Air, OSX 10.9.2 and Pages 5.1)
    Thanks!

    The Pages 5 fiile format uses a complex zipped package that is not understood by anyone outside of the Apple employees responsible for it.
    This creates problems when they are transfered by anything other than iCloud or Apple's server software.
    Pages 5.1 is the particular culprit. Astonishingly the point release is incompatible with Pages 5 and 5.01 files. Something that does not bode well for the future as Apple very, very slowly tries to dig its way out of the hole it has made for its users with the New Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
    The increasing number of Pages 5.1 users who are reporting they can not open Pages 5.1 files with Pages 5.1 is eliciting no visible response from Apple. Certainly no warning to its users to avoid the fatal consequences of using its software.
    Since all Pages file formats are essentially incompatible and proprietary, with virtually every other system out there, it is actually an improvement using Pages '09 because it is a settled format and parsable to a certain degree where the Pages 5 file format is obviously not.
    Pages '09 works, so why not use it where Pages 5 does not?
    If the whole change is disturbing you, as it should, then it would be wise to seek an entirely different solution. We are recommending looking at LibreOffice [free] which is maturing nicely, is available on all leading paltforms and uses open, parseable formats with a degree of confidence totally absent for Pages.

  • Cannot upgrade or delete existing versions of iTunes and apple software

    I keep getting an error message:
    Error getting file security:
    C:\ProgramData\3BE82C4-E596-4e99-A191-52C6199EBF69\GetLastError:5
    I cannot upgrade or delete existing versions - the Apple software installer seems to be the problem, but I can't find the file above and delete or uninstall it. I've tried uninstaller programs.
    Can anyone help?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    I would try manually deleting the folder: C:\ProgramData\34BE82C4-E596-4e99-A191-52C6199EBF69

     I'm not some sort of expert but i had the same problem so i see what i can do for you.
    I was using windows 7 and firefox when doing the update thingy btw
    Update using BlackBerry Link
    Make sure you have the latest version of BlackBerry Link installed.
    Connect your BlackBerry 10 device. Once it's recognized by BlackBerry Link, click the gear icon to access the settings page.
    From here you should see the option to reload device software. Click the button to start the process. Your device may reboot a time or two in between.
    If any new software is found, you'll see a prompt and can begin the installation. As above, make sure you backed up your device first and you have some time to kill as the update will take a while.

  • TS1702 Hi. I recently had my iTunes account hacked and £1500 worth was stolen. Since then I have changed my password several times and put a completely new ID in. Apple have disabled my account which means I cannot upgrade all my existing apps. Help !

    Hi
    I had my iTunes hacked recently. My account has been disabled. Changing passwords and ID I cannot upgrade all my existing apps purchased on my own pad! Help please.

    Did you create a completely new account or update the existing one ? If you created a new account then any
    content bought/downloaded via the old one will remain tied to that old account, and it can't be copied or transferred to a new account, so you will need to get your old account re-enabled in order to download updates to its apps.
    You might be able to get it re-enabled it via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    If you've changed the password on the old account but the iPad isn't recognising it, then try logging out of your account on it by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' it on the iPad.
