How to update iWorks

I just updated Pages app on my iPhone (ios7) and now it's not in sync with the Pages on my Macbook. ( Pages '09-version 4.3). Is there a newer version of iWorks? I don't see it in the Apple store. What am I missing?

You are in the Pages forum.
You are also in the confused situation of many Pages users.
If you previously owned Pages '09 you are probably entitled to a free Pages 5:
Apple Up-To-Date Program
However Apple has made so many versions of Pages with different capabilities and formats that there now are inevitable incompatibilities. A major problem is what happens to files transferred via iCloud and/or opened in Pages iCloud beta.
Users are caught in a cleft stick, whatever they choose, something is not going to work.
The best thing to do right now is back off all the latest versions of the software, because at least previously they were mutually openable and the software worked.
Apple has changed iCloud and made it so you can not transfer older versions without them being altered. Despite what many users think, iCloud is not the only way of transferring files. There are alternatives such as DropBox, but whatever you do there will be caveats.
This is a problem of Apple's making which, far from the stated goal of making things simpler, has simply slashed what you can do with Pages and your Mac.
Apple has taken the relatively small iWork community and divided it into:
1. Users who can never use Pages 5 because Apple won't let their hardware/system run it
2. Users who didn't already own iWork '08 or iWork '09, and Apple won't let them buy it from the App Store
3. iOS users on older versions, iOS 6 and earlier
4. iOS users on newer versions, iOS 7
5. Everyone else, who can only use iWork iCloud beta, which seems the most oddball
6. The vast majority, non-Mac users, who mostly have MsOffice as their standard suite, and to whom Mac uers must inevitably communicate files.
Given the inferior functionality of Pages 5, and Apple has effectively terminated the previous version along with its file format, there is no easy answer for what to do now.
We are are all in Limbo until we can work out what to do next.

  • How to update iWork if it is showing you have to purchase again

    OK I was having trouble with with 2011 Mac Mini and iWork I bought on DVD & the preinstalled iWork not updating.
    Here's how I got it to update in through the app store.
    Open App Store on your Mac if they don't show as an update in the tab and are not in your Purchases tab, go to the Featured tab & click Account under Quick Links, enter your password, & click Reset all warning for buying and downloading at the bottom of this page, & click Done.
    Check your updates tab & iWork & iLife updates should now appear, at least this is how I got it to work on my 2011 Mac Mini.

    Thank you, it worked perfectly.  I had iLife and iWork from DVD on a 2010 Macbook pro

  • Error updating iWork '09

    I bought iWork back in '09 when I bought my MacBook Pro. I just updated to OS X Yosemite. Have versions:
    Pages v. 4.0.5
    Numbers v. 2.0.5
    Keynote v. 5.0.5
    In my App Store it says I have updates for all 3 programs, but when I try to update it gives me an error:
    "An error occurred during purchase."
    "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later (20)."
    Is this a problem with Yosemite? Does anyone have any advice on how to update iWork?

    You probably don't want to update them.  Version 5 of Pages was really an entirely new program, not an update, and it lacks many basic features that you may be used to, such as intuitive image handling, facing pages view, mail merge, linked text boxes, etc, etc, etc.  Poke around on this board- it's still full of complaints and people trying to figure out how to stay with Pages after this new version of almost a year ago.  Version 5.5 seems to have done little to address these issues and in attempting to fix the massive problem people were having with its file structuring, it looks like Apple's made it worse for some people.

    I have downloaded the latest pages update on my iPad, but my iMac still has Pages version 4.3, and I cannot find out how to update it on my desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open in Pages. I get a message that it can't be opened because the version is too old. I sent the document as a PDF and it worked. But I want to be able to use Pages back and forth. HOw do I update the Pages version on my desktop iMac?

    The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
    If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
    Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

  • How to update the BOX version of the Logic Pro 9 in Mountain Lion??

    Hi!
    How to update the BOX version of the Logic Pro 9 in Mountain Lion?
    For example,  if tomorrow will be new updates for Logic Pro for exapmle 9.1.8. (now I have 9.1.7) Will I not able to get it?? Now should I buy the second Logic pro??
    Recently I have got answer from App Store support:
    "Max, since you have not purchased the app in the App Store, you can't get updates directly in App Store. In this case, you will need to purchase the updated version in the App Store so you can get further updates."
    It's... I bought Logic Pro 9 + MainStage +  + +++ .... in the Apple Retail Store and what now?? Updates works perfect in Snow Leopard.
    I can't understand...
    Can you help me please? =)

    Max,
    Rest assurred, you will get updates via the App store. What will happen is when you install the box version, the Mac App Store will ping when there is an update to download(for free), much like any other Apple app(Garageband, iWork, etc) regardless of where you bought it from. If it's installed, it will check for updates.
    If the Mac App store doesn't show an update that you know is out, simply down it directly from support.apple.com and apply it.
    Hope this helps. If so, LIKE the post.

  • How to update ADF VO object to refresh the data in ADF Pivot table

    I need to know how to update the View object so that the date in pivot table is refreshed/updated/filtered.
    here are the steps I performed to create ADF pivot table application using VO at design time.
    1) created a collection in a Data Control (ViewObject in an ApplicationModule) that provides the values I wanted to use for row and column labels as well the cell values (Used the SQL query)
    2) Dragged this collection to the page in which wanted to create the pivot table
    3) In the pivot table data binding editor specified the characteristics of the rows (which attribute(s) should be displayed in header), the columns (likewise) and the cells.
    Now, I have a requirement to update/filter the data in pivot table on click of check box and my question is how to I update the View object so that the date in pivot table is refreshed/updated/filtered.
    I have got this solution from one of the contact in which a WHERE clause on an underlying VO is updated based upon input from a Slider control. In essence, the value of the control is sent to a backing bean, and then the backing bean uses this input to call the "filterVO" method on the corresponding AppModule:
    but, I'm getting "operationBinding" object as NULL in following code. Please let me know what's wrong.
    here is the code
    Our slider component will look like
    <af:selectBooleanCheckbox label="Unit" value="#{PivotTableBean.dataValue}"
    autoSubmit="true" />
    The setDataValue() method in the backing bean will get a handle to AM and will execute the "filterVO" method in that, which takes the NumberRange as the input parameter.
    public void setDataValue(boolean value) {
    DataValue = value;
    BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
    OperationBinding operationBinding = (OperationBinding)bindings.getOperationBinding("filterVO");
    Object result = operationBinding.execute();
    The filterVO method in the AMImpl.java will get the true or false and set the where Clause for the VO query to show values.
    public void filterVO(boolean value) {
    if (value != null) {
    ViewObjectImpl ibVO = getVO1();
    ibVO.setWhereClause("PRODUCT_TOTAL_REVENUE(+) where rownum < 10");
    ibVO.executeQuery();
    }

    Did you define a filterVO action in your pagedef.xml file?

    A ListItem has its own unique row id so in all likelihood, an insert with the same data will result in a new list entry. The Lists Web Service however, has an UpdateListItem method which will take an update request. [refer

  • How to update the table value in the valuechange event?

    I have an input field in the datatable with the valueChangeListener
    <rich:dataTable id="cart" value="#{cart.cartList}" var="item">
    <h:inputText value="#{item.cost}" id="qty" valueChangeListener="#{items.updateCost}" onchange="submit()">
    <h:outputText value="#{item.errorMsg}"> </h:outputText>
    in the backing bean
         Item item = (Item) model.getRowData();
    // do some update, if the cost too larger, change to max_cost
         item.setCost(max_cost);
         item.setErrorMsg("Error Msg");
    After calling the valuechange method, the screen output doesn't update the cost.
    How to update the table value in the valuechange event?

    As you're misusing the valueChangeListener to set another input field, you need to skip the update model values phase. Otherwise the value set in the valueChangeListener will be overridden by the submitted value. You can do this by calling the FacesContext#renderResponse() inside the valueChangeListener method. This will shift the current phase immediately to the render response phase, hereby skipping the update model values and invoke application phases.

  • Has anyone been able to contact Adobe to learn why their Flash Player does not work on Mac OS 10.6.8, no matter how many updates you install?  This seems like a big error by Adobe.

    I have thee Mac computers with Mac OS 10.6.8, one of which is a Mac Pro.  No matter how many updates I install from Adobe, their Flash Player does not work on any of these 3 computers.  I don't know how to contact Adobe Systems about this problem, but I think it is their responsibility to make sure that their so-called "universal" software works proplerly on a relatively recent operating system like OS 10.6.8 that is still in widespread use.  When you install the updates, nothing happens -- not even an error message.  What is the point of a universal player that is not universal?  It works fine on my MacBook Pro with OS 9 Mavericks, but it does not work at all -- indeed, has never worked -- on my 3 Macs with OS 10.6.8.  Has anyone contacted Adobe Systems to find out why the Flash Player does not work with OS 10.6.8 and what they plan to do about it?

    Where are you getting Flash from?
    Get the appropriate dmg installer here and then run it.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
    If it still won't install, do these two things: First uninstall any Flash by going into the second level Hard Drive Library>Internet Plug-ins, and trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. Then boot into Safe Boot, Shift at the startup chime (give it much longer than a usual boot) and run the installer while booted in Safe Boot.

  • How to update attributes from OIM to AD in case of LDAPSync

    Hi All,
    In our scenario, we have LDAPSync configured for OIM AD Integration. OIM version is OIM 11gR2 PS1 (11.1.2.1.0.0)
    It is working fine and On user creation in OIM ,RealTime user creation under specified container in AD is happening.It is SSL enabled,so password is also getting updated from OIM to AD.
    But we have following conflicting scenario --
    -   As per our requirement we have to generate random password for User in OIM. For that we have PostProcess event handler implemented in OIM.
    - We have tested LDAPSync by creating user manually through OIM console. While creating user manually, we have provided value for password attribute along with other attributes.
        So, password attribute in AD will get updated for User along with all other attributes values mapped for AD from OIM.
    - But, in our scenario random password is generated for User through OIM post process event handler and it will be updated again in user profile of user created manually in OIM. This password is sent to User through mail.
      As this password event handler will get triggered after LDAPSnyc only, this password will not be update in AD for manually created user in OIM. So he can log into OIM with this new password but not to AD system.
      He will be able to login to AD system with same User ID but with password which was set at time of manual User Creation in OIM and not with the password updated in OIM user profile by PostProcess event handler.
    Is it possible to set password for user through PreProcess even handler implementation for Random Password generation. In this case also , the default OIM post process
    password generator will override the PreProcess event handler.How to resolve this issue.
    Also,when AD connector is in place in OIM environment we would be having change/update tasks for any attribute update to be send from OIM to AD.
    How this update scenario will be implemented from OIM to AD in case of LDAPSync ?
    Please provide any helpful pointer on this.
    Thanks,
    RPB

    Password :
    Increase order of calling for custom password event handler than OOTB handler.
    Update:
    you wanted to update custom fields?
    Did you check default update tasks comes with connector?
