Don't want iWork 08

Gave the iWork trial version a go, decided I don't want it. can't get rid of the trial version and can't get back into my into the old version. help!

Go to your Applications folder and drag iWork to the trash. What did you do with your old version? If you trashed it, and haven't emptied the trash, drag it back. Or else reinstall it. You do have the disc, don't you?

How can another user on my system share their document if they cannot access a public drop box, do not have an email account setup on the system and we don't want to use iwork?

Please help. My DS created a document under his login on my PowerBook and now, I cannot seem to access it. He doesn't have an email account of his own, I can't seem to save it as a public document in a drop box like I can from my own login and we do not want to use iwork. Is there a way to save it so that I can access it from my login to email to his teacher. I don't want to have to retype it into Pages under my login.

Save the document from his account to an external drive or thumb drive.
Set the permissions (using Finder > Get Info) for "Everyone" to Read and Write.
Your DS will likely be the owner of the file, so you may need his login password to change the permissions.

Don't want the updated iWorks.

Software updates keeps pressing me to update to the new iworks and I don't want it. How can I say no thanks and keep it from forever bugging me again?

Download, install, then delete might work.
The app store would have a record of your 'purchase', but there'd be nothing on your Mac to update.
It's an off the top of my head suggestion that I have NOT tested, so wait a while for any suggestions regarding possible negative results before going ahead.

I don't want to buy iWork again!

I have my iWork 09 Serial # but I lost the install files when I did a clean install of Mountain Lion. I don't want to have to buy Pages, Numbers and Keynote again through the Mac App Store. Can can i get the trial version so I can reenter in my serial key? Help!

I am having the same problem and this really can't be true. I don't have a problem with Apple dropping support for older versions of iWork and other software but I purchased the current versions from Apple. Apple sold me downloadable versions (saving them the cost of pressing a CD and printing a package and helping to save the earth's resources) and now Apple is telling me sorry you need to repurchase them after you just spent $3,000 on a new Mac laptop. If I had insisted on a CD, I wouldn't be having this problem. If this is true, I might just switch to MS Office and Lightroom.

Pages? Can I open really old Claris Works documents with it? I don't want to spend $20 to find out.

Pages? Can I open really old Claris Works documents with it? I don't want to spend $20 to find out. I saved a bunch of stuff back in 1996, and now i need to open it.

Pages opens strictly word processing AppleWorks v6 files.
The problem with ClarisWorks files were they could contain all sorts of objects from databases to spreadsheets, drawings and paint. the iWork suite is not that versatile.
But you really have little choice as ClarisWorks and AppleWorks are both history. If you are going to switch, the sooner the better.
Just keep in mind what Apple did to ClarisWorks/AppleWorks along with many other of their appliactions and technologies theywill ultimately do to Pages.

How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents.

How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. Everything I can find is about wiping everything out and restoring everything. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents (and numbers and keynote that also locked up during updating).

What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

I don't want to use microsoft products on my mac!

Dearest Apple,
What can I say, I am a massive fan of your work. I have totally bought into your brand....
My problem is I don't want to use microsoft software on my gorgeous shiny mac, or any of my apple products for that matter. The issue is I don't appear to have any choice if I want to communicate professionally with the rest of the business world.
I love the new mac mail in OS X Lion, but when I send an email to an outlook user it looks like Johnny age 5 composed it.
I'm not asking for much from you IT giants, why can't you get together and agree on a code/platform/whatever it needs to make emails (which in my opinion don't appear to be the most complex of documents) backward compatable. Nearly everyone has an email signature with some text and a small graphic, what's so hard about having the end user display that correctly?
Then there is iWork, again a lovely product to work in, you could argue not quite as powerful as excel, but it works. Albeit you can't lock documents etc when sending them to 'PC users'
When are we likely to see a change?
All I want is to use my mac and software specific to it without having to subscribe to the awful giant microsoft.
Thanks
B
P.S dam you make some fine products ; )

Don't Want To Use Apple Config, Device Enroll Program

I have been reading a lot on how to implement profiles onto devices like the iPhone, this functionality is what I am looking for, mainly with iPhone for some businesses and schools I work with. I have red that with the new technology you don't have to us Apple Configurator, and I have red about the Device Enroll Program... for my purposes I don't want to use any Apple method (nor would the situation I have even qualify for the Device Enroll Program) I really would like to deploy custom configuration profiles, with restrictions specified by my customers.
I have been scanning the developer guides and and slowly grasping what I need to do...it sounds like I don't need to use Apple methods if I don't want CORRECT??? If I can implement custom profiles and in some cases it might just be three iPhones... I was hoping to find the proper guidance for implementing those custom profiles, thru the webpage method or e-mail message is more suitable for my needs.
I found the Apple play by play on how to do that, but sometimes for myself finding another perspective helps me learn... Any places anyone has found that can give that play by play on how to deliver those custom profiles thru web page or e-mail?
I have looked at the Over the Air Profile Delivery and Configuration Developer Pages... I'm just looking for that alternate information source to help me out. Appreciate all the help

Using Get Info to change all documents to open with Pages 4.3 doesn't work. The Mac OS will always default to the newest installed version & has for as long as I can remember. It will work on individual files, but that could be a lot of files to reset.
This is what worked for me. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "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.
Since the last update I've used the solution Peter Breis posted (4th post in that thread) in iWork Tips 'n' Tricks with a little "tweak."
Making Numbers '09 the default whilst keeping Pages 5
1. Move any new iWork apps in another clearly labelled folder (I created a new folder in Applications & named it iWork 13)
2. Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy > drag the above folder into the list
2) Move the new iWork folder into the trash (temporarily)
3) Select any Numbers file in Finder > Menu > Info (cmd+i) > Open with: > Pages '09 > Change all
4) Re the new iWork folder from the trash (right-click > Put back)
Pages 5 should no longer appear as a default App, and you won't have to keep a copy in a separate drive or dmg.
IMPORTANT: Make a note of where and how Pages was installed for the next App Store update and temporarily move it back there before putting it away again in the folder concealed from Spotlight.

Don't want to use new Numbers, but 'get info' fix doesn't work

Hi All,
I made the mistake of installing the new Numbers a month or two ago. I don't want to use the new Numbers because I need to work on the same documents on older machines that won't work with the new Numbers. On my machines with both versions of Numbers, I want to be able to just double-click on the documents and open with the older version. The usual fix is to use get info on a document, select the app I want to use for this type of document and then hit 'change all' for that type of doc. Well that's the theory at least. I've found that this setting doesn't stick in this case. (I've never seen this not work). It still opens with the new Numbers.
I've tried removing Numbers, but Software Update keeps nagging that there is an update available jfor Numbers, and wants to reinstall it. They 'dumbed down' Software Update so that you can't remove updates you don't want to be bothered by. (I hate it that Apple continually removes features, then adds them back in a year or two!) So I'm stuck.
Any one else have this happen? Any fixes?
Thanks!

How do I stop the new Pages from updating the old Pages? It is automatically updating, but I don't want it to because it's horrible!!!

I downloaded the new Pages, Keynote, and Numbers, but they're horrible so I deleted them. Now they keep trying to update my old iWorks. I don't want them they are horrible!!! It is automatically updating (I don't have it set to automatic update), so I have it paused, but I don't know how long that will last before they finish the update. Apple, what are you doing to your loyal customers? You are making inferior software and forcing it on us. Why?

Peter,
Luckily it had stopped trying to upgrade overnight, but your suggestion definitely helped. I checked in the System Preferences and, sure enough, I had the auto-upgrade checked for regular programs but not apps. So, it was doing what I told it, even though it wasn't what I wanted! I am very thankful that I get to stay with my Pages 4 for now. I love my Mac because it has always been so intuitive, searching for what I needed was fairly easy. Unfortunately, some of the new upgrades of late don't fit that bill. Pages 5 has some work to be done before I will feel comfortable switching. Thank you for your help!
Now, any idea why my Calendar has frozen with the message "Moving calendars to server account..." ever since I downloaded Maverick? I have had to do a force quit for the last two nights to get it to shut off so I can turn off my computer. The swirling candycane of death accompanies this message. I would be glad to undo whatever I have done....if I only knew what that was!

When I try to open a document created in Pages, I get an error message saying "[Document Name" can't be opened." I don't want to lose hours of work; has anyone else encountered this?

A few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.

Barry

I've just lost access to my MobileMe emails and account when trying to change my password - I don't want to lose everything on my account . Help

I've tried to access my mobileme emails on icloud rather than the laptop, but password wasn't recognised, since changing it, I've lost all me emails from my laptop and can't recover my mobilie me account details.
I don't want to set up a different email address via icloud.
Help!
Any ideas?
I also cannot change settings on my email account..... (incoming server), so have suddenly lost all me email capabilty....

Presumably you didn;t use it very often.
June 2011:
iWeb publishing, MobileMe Gallery, and iDisk will all disappear as the company sunsets its current online service in favor of iCloud.
Other MobileMe services—including syncing of Mac Dashboard widgets, keychains, Dock items, and System Preferences—will not be part of iCloud, Apple says. Those syncing services will stop working as soon you migrate from MobileMe to iCloud. In addition, Apple says that while MobileMe members can no longer upgrade to a Family Pack or buy additional MobileMe storage, Family Pack members will be able to transition their accounts to iCloud individually, as long as it’s done before June 30, 2012.
http://www.macworld.com/article/1160728/apple_mobile_me_transition_faq.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MobileMe
August 2012:
As of today, visitors to MobileMe.com are no longer given the option to convert their accounts to iCloud or to retrieve old photos and files, with Apple now simply pointing users to iCloud.

I have a Mac i5 and need to download the application 'Numbers' but everytime I try to do so, it says can't do as the ver 2.2 for the app needs new software 'Snow Leopard'. I don't want to upgrade but dont know what to do??

If your profile is correct you're already on the final version of Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Sure it wasn't Lion it was asking for?
If that's the only version available on the app store, you'll need to source a copy of the iWork '09 DVD - not cheap now - only available via Amazon or eBay etc.

I need to make my own apple id because I'm older and don't want to share everything with my family but if I do, how do I get all the music and everything I bought?

I don't want to share my apple id with my family anymore but I own over 2000 songs and a few other things I bought so would I be able to get them if I got a new apple id?

You don't. Everythng downloaded with one Apple ID can not be transfered to another Apple ID. So you would need to buy it a second time. This is one of the Pit Falls of the whole Download only model.
That is why I refuse to buy things like music or movies that are tied to a specific User Name, ID.
