How do I open older versions of Pages in Maverick?

All my work is saved in the older version of iWorks (Pages). This new Maverick won't open it. I have been able to open my older photos with iPhoto Library Upgrader but need to know how to open my older documents in Pages. Is there an app or program for that? I'm a novice at all this, so please consider that when replying
Thanks!

What specific version is the “older” iWorks (Pages) that you refer too? Pages > About Pages. Mavericks is the operating system, and has nothing to do with whether you can open Pages documents or not.
Pages documents produced by Pages ’08 (v3.03) or earlier are not supported in Pages v5. Neither are any RTF documents. These will have to be exported to Word (.doc) format before opening in Pages v5.
Due to the new document architecture, and 110 missing features/functionality in Pages v5.2.2 that were present in Pages ’09 documents, it may refuse to open Pages ’09 documents because the original document template is no longer supported.

How do you open previous versions of Pages docs on new MBP?

Besides the fact that it is absolutey rediculous that I am even having this issue, can someone please tell me there is a simple solution to opening documents made on a mac, with mac software that I am now being told "is too old and needs to be saved in '09" which I didn't have nor am running on my new computer.
How could Apple actually release software that isn't able to communicate with an older version of itself. Im baffled. Someone please tell me how I can atleast extract the information and turn it into a text file.
Thank you

I am trying to open documents that were created in Pages '08 in the most recent version of Pages that came with my MacBook Pro.
I think I may have figured out a work around. I found a trial version of iWorks '09 so I downloaded it and am in the process of saving the documents in '09 as the alert message stated. Hopefully this will allow me to open them and edit them in the most recent version of Pages.

How do I set my older version of Pages as the default when opening files?

I currently have two versions (Pages '08 3.0.3 and Pages '09 4.2) on my computer. I am finding that when others send me a document created in the older version of Pages, when I open it, it converts it to the newer version. If I make changes and send it back, that same person with only the older version cannot open the file. I know I can duplicate the file, and save a copy as the Pages '08 version when sending the file back, but I'd like to skip this step. Remembering to control click each new file to choose which version I want to open the file in seems like an extra, unecessary step as well. I simply want the files sent to me to open in the older version, so I don't need to go through these extra steps each time. Anyone have any suggestions or tips for me? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I do try to keep Pages 08 open on my computer, but I sometimes find that my documents will still convert to the 09 version upon opening them, even if I don't make any changes or even save the file myself. I also find that I do not get the "save as" option in Pages 09 when it is not a file I created myself. You wouldn't think a basic word processing file would have this much trouble opening in a version that really isn't that much older. I've been doing a lot of copying and pasting into the older version when I send files out. This really makes the 09 version inconvenient to me. If it weren't for all of my files that now require the 09 version to open (because of this default setting everything I open seems to become an 09 version) I'd get rid of this version all together, as it is not compatible for so many other people with whom I work!

How do I get an older version of Pages for older Macbook?

I am interested in an older version of Pages, one that had the good template options for flyers. I have OS 10.7.5 and since I have an older mac book laptop, I cannot upgrade to Mavericks. How do I get an older version of Pages? Ultimately, I'm interested in making flyers with good ready made templates, so I'm open to another alternative as well, if you have suggestions, thanks!

It sounds like you had Pages '08/'09.
You don't still have it?
It should be in your Applications/iWork folder if you do.

Pages is telling me that I need a newer version before I can open my document. I have the latest version and I am able to open older versions. Whats up?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 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 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud 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 not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

How to open older version of iPhoto from an external drive. It won't let me open or upgrade to the latest version?

How to open older version of iPhoto from an external drive. It won't let me open or upgrade to the latest version?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what fixes have you tried?
how is the EHD where the library is located formatted?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

How do you access glyph's in pages 5.1 I can easily do this in the older version of pages?

I'm trying to access different glyphs that I have in various font families i.e. Zaphino. In the older version of Pages I can get to the fonts and click on the gear and get the drop down, select typography and then ornaments and the various glyphs show up and change the character. On the new Pages 5.1 this does not work? any ideas?

In Pages v5.1, enter your zapfino text. Select the text for the new glyph, and press command+T to launch the Font panel. Click the gear selector on this font panel, then choose the familiar Typography menu item. A panel will display as follows, providing access to the various glyphs.

Why can't I download an older version of Pages from the App Store?

Is there any way to download an older version of Pages? Specifically, version 4.2?
Upgrading my OS from 10.6.8 is not an option, and I live overseas in a place where I'm completely unable to recieve disks for older iWorks through the mail. This is frustrating... the App should either be compatible or alternatively should keep older versions available, if not on the app store then on the website somewhere. I'm willing to pay Apple for an older version, but have yet to figure out how that's even an option.
Would love to know if there's a way to get Pages 4.2 that I've missed. Thanks

Google "Apple iWork '09 Installer".
Apple seems to have pulled the plug on the manual updaters so you may have to Google those as well.

If you plan on collaborating with other users who have progressed with the technology you are gong to have to upgrade. There is simply no way any longer to continue with XP and CS2 except in isolation.

Just uploaded Keynote 6, now I can't open older versions

Any idea how to open older versions with the new keynote 6? I don't have the older version of keynote anymore.

The work around is to use Keynote version 5 so Re-install Keynote 5. If you dont have the installer at all, you can buy a disc on Ebay or Amazon.

Does upgrading to new pages on iPad remove older version of pages

Does upgrading to new pages on iPad remove older version of pages. In other words, after upgrading will I be able to open older Pages documents on the iPad?

I took a while to figure this out after I got into the same mess. The new iWorks is a very bad downgrade. I have deleted Pages 5 from my Mac and gone back to Pages 4.3 (it is still there and was not removed when you updated to Pages 5.)
I then deleted Pages 2 from my iPad and from iTunes.
I used TIme Machine to go back to ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications in September and found "Pages 1.7.2.ipa" and brought it forward to my desktop. I then droped it into the iTunes icon in the Dock and it reinstalled.
Hope this works for you.
Apple can now take as long as they need to correct all the mistakes they made with the current version of iWorks - I will not be upgrading again until they do.
Apple - Are you listening?
