How  can I open a document that i saved without buying the latest pages?

I saved two documents last week and now I can not open them without "buying the latest version of pages"  Is there anyway to save this information without being forced to buy new software.   I have been happy with my old pages and saved it with my old pages and not I can not open it with out buying the new version.  I feel that apple is holding my document hostage.  Any help would be appreciated.

DM,
You probably already have V5 without knowing it. Unless someone else edited your documents with V5, it was you, and you just need to make sure that you are using V5 for edits.
Right-Click the docment in Finder and choose Open With: Pages V5.x
I'd be surprised if you didn't find that option.

  • HT4918 How can I open video documents that are Microsoft applications?

    With Lion now installed, I can no longer open many video documents that I formerly opened with Windows Media Player.  What can I do?

    It does involve ICloud since I could utilize my 2004 Office software with Snow Leopard.  Since Pages will open word documents and save in word format, I thought is would not miss Office.  But, Quick Time Player will not open the video documents sent to me on a PC.  Does this mean I must purchase a new Office just to be able to open these documents?

  • I can't open 3 documents because trial upgrade to version 5 of pages happened. I don't want to pay $20 to get upgrade. How do I open docs in older version. They were created in older version.

    I can't open 3 documents because trial upgrade to version 5 of pages happened. I don't want to pay $20 to get upgrade. I don't recall fine print stating money would be needed. How do I open docs in older version? They were created in older version.

    Hi MBilyeu,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use these steps to open your Pages documents with the previous version:
    Permanently change the document’s app
    Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
    In the Info window, click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
    Choose an app from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different app.
    If you want to use that app to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same app, click Change All.
    Temporarily change the document’s app
    You can open a document in a different app without changing the app that normally opens it. Use either of these methods:
    Control-click the document, choose Open With, and then choose the app you want to use.
    Drag the document to the app’s icon in the Dock or in the Finder.

  • How can I open a document created in Classic on MacOS X?  When I tried to open it, it says Classic Not Supported. What do I do?

    How can I open a document created in Classic on MacOS X?  When I tried to open it, it says Classic Not Supported. What do I do?

    The short answer is:
    Single click on the document you created in Classic, bring up your 'popup' menu (right click or control-click), select 'Open With' and choose the Mac OS X application you believe will open the document.
    If this does not work. Tell us which Classic application you created the document with and which applications you have which you believe will open your 'classic' document.

    You can't. You can take a screen cap of it, but the container doesn't allow access to the individual images used in a SWF or FLV.

    How can I get rid of that irritating contact/favorites across the top of the home screen?

    Actually, that's not on the Home screen, it is on the multitasking or App Switcher view so only shows up when you enter that mode (so I'm not to clear as to why it is so "irritating", but whatever).
    Settings app > Mail,Contacts,Calendars > scroll down to CONTACTS section] > Show in App Switcher

  • How can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?

    Before the latest release of iMovie I easily managed to export a project on an external usb drive and re-import such project on a different Mac... In the latest iMovie version, however, I cannot see my drive any more..
    So, how can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?
    Thank you in advance

    I'm not sure this is the best way, but you could create a new iMovie Library, move your project to that Library, then close the library. Then move the Library to your USB drive. Then, on the other Mac, in iMovie open the Library.

    Hallo! How can i delete my files wich are saved not on the C: drive?

    I'm guessing there must be more to this question than you are stating.
    But to answer the question you asked, if you want to delete files that are not on the C drive, select the files and then delete them (press the Delete key, and then Delete from Hard Disk or not, your choice)

    Did you purchase Day One in iTunes App store? These are apps for iPhone.
    Or did you purchase it in the Mac App store (from the Apple menu)? These are apps only for your computer.
    Day One is available for iPhone/iPad/iPod touch and also for the Mac. They are completely different apps and you must purchase both to use it on your computer and on your iPhone.
