Does erasing my hard drive erase pages, keynote and numbers (bought separately)?

Hi,
I would like to erase my disk, and reinstall it, but i'm afraid i would lose Apps such as pages, numbers and Keynote which i bought in a seperate Cd that i no longer have. Whta happens in the case i erase and reinstall?

Erase is just that, yes if you erase you will lose everything that isn't backed up. This is an ideal time to develop a backup strategy.

    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When its download finishes, close the installer and open Lion Diskmaker to create a bootable USB drive with Mountain Lion.
    2. Press Option key while your Mac is starting, select the external drive and open Disk Utility.
    3. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and erase the drive.
    4. Close the window and install Mountain Lion

  • Does 'versions' work with microsoft word, ppt and excel or just pages, keynote and numbers?

    Does 'versions' work with microsoft word, ppt and excel or just pages, keynote and numbers? I tried to do what the videos say but the little icon for versions is not there on word. Does this mean it only works for pages etc... or do i have to activate it somehow? If it is only for pages then this ***** and should be better advertised!!!

    Each application will need to be updated to work with Versions, Full Screen, and other Lion-specific features.

    Normally you have to get these from the App store.  Open the App Store application in your Applications folder. Have a look at the category Apple Apps.

  • My ipad air was bought and activated AFTER September 1st and I downloaded pages, keynote and numbers. I then changed my Apple ID as the password no longer worked, these apps were also deleted I order to be updated. Now I cannot get the free version. Help?

    My ipad air was bought and activated AFTER September 1st (activated December 25th) and I downloaded pages, keynote and numbers. I then changed my Apple ID as the password no longer worked, These apps had to be deleted as I needed to update them. Now I cannot get the free version on my ipad. I have searched the internet to see if there is a solution, and I found a few but unfortunately none have worked. I desperately need these apps as my iPad is used for school. Is this an issue I should take up with the apple support centre or something? Please help! Thanks

  • IWork export to Office error "The file format is invalid" in pages, keynote and numbers.

    I am running iWork 09 (latest versions in all cases)*. When I try to export files from all three of the applications Pages, Keynote and Numbers into the relevant Office formats, I get the error "The file format is invalid." It works fine with PDF or RTF export.
    I am able to open the same files in the iPad versions of thess iWork apps, and then export them. While this workaround will do for now, I'd like to be able to just export correctly.
    Anyone have any suggestions on what might be wrong?
    Thanks,

    * Note that I needed to manually remove iWorks as the For_iWork:iWork '09:iWork9Update5.dmg.zip file wouldn't work on the latest version of iWorks. This involved deleting the iWork folders in the Applications and Library directories.

  • Why Pages, keynotes, and Numbers are not free? I bought my mac Oct 14, 2013

    Why Pages, keynotes, and Numbers are not free? I bought my Mac at Oct 14, 2013. With the new OS X Mavericks relaeaed, Apple said that these three Apps are free to new buyers, I bought Macbook Air last week. Why I didn't see these three Apps free after I logged in the Mac App Store?
    Please, Help!

    ***For those that purchased iWork 09 not on the app store but as a retail disk copy you can get the update for iWork even though it may show $19.99 for all the apps:
    You can reupdate to iWork 9.3 by going here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563
    then after it is updated close the app store if opened then open it again and sign out then sign in and then all the iwork 2013 apps should show as update rather than $19.99 cost each. This worked for me. I bought iwork '09 on disk but it showed 19.99 each after I upgraded to Mavericks so  followed the above steps and it worked. I am now updating all my iWork suite I bought on disk, NOT on the Mac app store and now I have a Mac app store set!
    Apple sure has a problem that needs to be fixed otherwise iWork will eventually be free for everyone...
    Someone at Apple forgot all of us old retail people before the Mac App store existed!

  • I bought "Pages" "Keynote" and "Numbers" Apps for my iPad and iPhone

    I bought "Pages" "Keynote" and "Numbers" Apps for my iPad and iPhone and now I have a new iMac but the Apps didn't install? I thought when you bought an App that is on one device it would be available on all other devices? The App store is now wanting me to pay for the Apps again? Is this right? Do I have to buy another  version of these Apps for the iMac?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own.

    That is determined by what type of disk that it is. It may be a disk that only allows you to install Windows on your Dell computer and would not allow Windows to be installed on a Boot Camp partitition or as a virtual machine in an app such as VirtualBox on your Mac. If that is the case, you would need to purchase a retail Windows install disk.

  • Saving Pages, Keynote and Numbers files so they're compatible to open on PC

    How do I save files from pages, keynote and numbers so I can open them on a PC?

    I would have to think that most PC's are running Office, so that would be a safe bet.
    If you really want anyone to be able to open and read, PlainText or pdf would be even better. PDF for reading and plaintext if you want them to be able to edit.

  • I run Maverick and need to uninstall my pages, keynote and numbers and reinstall them. Are they free on Maverick?

    My Mac Mini was set up by someone else who used his login to install Pages, Keynote and Numbers. Now I cannot update these.
    I need to uninstall these and reinstall them with my login. Are these apps free for Maverick users?

    They are not free unless you purchased them in the past on the App Store. However, if the following applies then you can get them free:
    The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.
    iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.

  • Why do mac that were purchased on or after october 1st qualify for getting pages, keynote and numbers?

    I've got a mac and i upgraded to mavericks, hoping i would get pages, keynote and numbers but then i checked on the apple website and it said only people who bought a mac on or after the 1st were eligible. Why can't i get it for free?

    Because that wasn't the deal when you purchased yours. Apple will often provide compensation for those that buy a product (hardware) within a month of a large policy change such as that.
