Decided not to buy iwork '09 after downloading trial version, now what?

I downloaded the trial version and decided it was not worth $80 (call me cheap, but I'm a student, thats a lot of money). Anyway, during the 30 day trial I created many documents (some over 100 pages). I thought I was saving them as pages 08 docs, but obviously I did something wrong because none of them will open in the 08 version.
While this is probably obvious to most, I have only recently switched to a mac. The only way I can edit/save is to open up the (read only) version in pages 09 and then copy/paste it to a new 08 document.
I have about 200 documents I created in the 09 version and the whole copy/paste routine would not bother me, except when I paste the text, the formatting gets so messed up. So, the question now is...if I were to delete the 09 version, what is going to happen to all of my documents?? Right now, I have to run both versions at the same time in order to find anything, clearly an inefficient system.
I am getting really frustrated and hope that someone can figure out what I am talking about. I never would have tried the trial version if I knew this would happen. I feel like apple is coercing me into purchasing their software.

Hi wmlaw2011,
Welcome to Pages '09 discussions.
If Badunit's suggestion doesn't work for you then you have two choices, purchase iWork '09 or, find someone that has iWork '09 then for all your files ask them to do File > Save as Pages '08.
Student from the beginning of time complained about finances however, they always found the money to do the important things that needed to be accomplish; parties, games, dates, eating out, shopping, etc.. So in my opinion $80 isn't a big deal
These Discussions are enduser helping enduser, not Apple employees answering questions. Apple provides these discussion forums for endusers however, Apple neither monitors nor engages in discussions. Enduser such as yourself when they have extra time answer questions.
Again, welcome to Pages '09 Discussions, have fun here.
Cordially,

What do I do after downloading trial version of Phooshop elements 12?

What do I do after downloading trial version of photoshop elements (I have already downloaded the Assistant) as it has not run automatically?

KerryH have you ran the installer? By default it is saved to your User folder. Once the software is installed you will then open it as you would other applications on your computer. Which operating system are you using specifically?

Using iwork '05 after using trial version of iwork '06

As a teacher, I do lots of lessons in Keynote 2.0.2 A 30 day trial version of iwork '06 (including an updated Keynote) came with my recent purchase of ilife '06. Now that the 30 days has expired, I can't open Keynote files I used during those 30 days. The message is: "The document was created with a later version of Keynote."
I had assumed that a trial version would not make my current files inaccessible. Can I convert these files back to Keynote 2.0.2 ?

You can't save back to K2 without having a working version of K3. If you were using K3 all along, then why don't you just buy it?

Why did the installation not start after downloading trial version of PS Elements 12?

Looking for a low price photo editor to touch up old photos that I have scanned from snapshots. My last software was the free Photoshop that came with an older version of Windows. I am currently running Win/XP on a Dell Vostro 1500, I know I should be upgrading but this machine still works for me.

Thank you Ls29_GP40 I would recommend reviewing your PDApp.log file for the exact error. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the PDApp.log at Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-install-using-logs-elements.html.

Can anyone help with this - do I have to uninstall Reader and then reinstall?

I have had a trial version of Acrobat X1 Pro - I have decided not to buy at this stage - for some time it has been conflicting with opening PDF docs after "saving as" from word 2007 - I uninstalled Pro X1 and now when I "save as" PDF from word 2007 to PDF it will save the document as a PDF but will not open the document to display after publishing - I have to got to where the file has been saved to view the new PDF document - this is really annoying - do I have to delete adobe reader and reinstall it - adobe needs to look at this conflict with acrobat pro as I have even gone it to properties and tried to have adobe reader as the default PDF program - the main issue is that I cannot view the PDF after publishing it from word 2007

Hello !
I have a second hand HP Scanjet 3770 scanner.
After downloading and installing driver there is only 1 icon on my desktop - Image Zone.
There is not icon of HP Director software, neither on desktop nor in C:\Program files\HP folder
Windows XP SP 3 does not recognize HP Scanjet 3770 after downloading and installing driver (Image Zone software)
There is another scanning HP device installed on the same computer - all-in-one HP Photosmart C 4280
What I have to do ?
Thank you !

Some things that pop in my head- your CD/DVD drive may need cleaning (laser eye). There are discs to do this or you can use a cotton swab sometimes to wipe the laser. OR- the last recovery may have been the last fatal strain on the CD/DVD drive and it is now not functioning. Maybe you could borrow the drive from the other Dv4 and try it- or borrow/buy a USB CD/DVD drive to try.

If you have set this phone up, then there would not necessarily be a solution here until you have been verify with the provider that everything is provisioned correctly on their end. Since the 3G comes from your cellular provider, if the settings are correct on the phone, then you should work with the carrier next.

Just downloaded trial version -- don't see iPhoto library in Aperture and need to import selected photos-not entire library!

I just downloaded trial version -- don't see iPhoto library in Aperture and need to import selected photos to edit, not entire i Photo library! I read manual and it says:
Browsing and Selecting Images in Your iPhoto Library
You use the Aperture iPhoto Browser to review iPhoto images and import specific images into the Aperture library. The iPhoto Browser gives you a handy way of looking for certain images without having to import your entire iPhoto library.
So, where do I review the iPhoto images...there is nothing in there that says "iPhoto Library" Everything I see pertains to Aperture Library which of course is empty since I haven't imported (or dragged) any photos in there yet.
Also is tech support available for Aperture? I have Apple Extended Support and I sure would love it if I had individual help. I have a deadline --3 days to edit 300 photos and I'm a complete amateur. iPhoto doesn't have the capability to erase parts of a face (I need to contour the neck of a mannequin to make it proportionate to the separate head I put on top of it. I'm sure Aperture must have a tool to help me do that! At least I hope so.

where do I review the iPhoto images
File -> Import -> Show iPhoto Browser

Sounds more like a job for Photoshop to me
if I decide to import entire iPhoto library into Aperture will it delete my iPhoto library?
No.

After downloading new version of Firefox 4 I am unable to use touch pad for scrolling. I have tried installing and uninstalling the new version but this problem has always been occuring.

after downloading new version of Firefox 4 I am unable to use touch pad for scrolling. I have tried installing and uninstalling the new version but this problem has always been occuring. I do not know how to fix this problem so I always return to the old version.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

Whatever you read about iTunes is wrong unless you're actually referring to feature movies, not videos. Videos, apps, music and iBooks you can re-download:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Download to your computer and then sync to your iPod touch whatever will fit.
And no, I can't say with certainty that they won't give you a refund, but it's unlikely. The most probable outcome, if you do indeed mean movies, not TV shows or other videos, is that they would set up an additional download. For other content they'll probably just direct you to the same instructions on re-downloading I just posted.

Question: I have just taken delivery of my LR5 disc. I had already downloaded the trial version. I just tried entering the serial number from my hard copy to authorise my downloaded trial version and it did not recognise the serial number. So, I loaded the hard copy, and the instructions said that it would just overwrite the downloaded version. And again it will not recognise my serial number! I am not wanting to uninstall the trial version as I have already got quite a lot of personal preferences entered etc. Help please. I am on a macbook pro with latest OS
