I can't update Pages or iWork versions

I'm using Mountain Lion, but can't get Pages, Numbers or Keynote to update from their old 'iWork' versions.
Pages version is 4.0.4
Numbers version is 2.0.4
Keynote version is 5.0.4
I can't seem to get any updates...
Anyone have a view as to how to restore the automatic update that has somehow been broken?
I've tried selecting software update - but it returns that all software is up to date... It's not..

Actually just spent 15 mins on phone to Apple Support, and during the call I solved it!
The issue was that I had purchased iWork as a set of disks before the App Store for Mac existed.
As a result, the serial numbers of my disks are not stored on Apples servers - so no automatic update.
Going to: http://support.apple.com/downloads/#iwork
Gives the updates that you can do the old fashioned way...
Apple have logged this as a problem for all those who had iWork or other applications pre-installed on a new machine or who bought disks with iWork or other applications on..
Those who have downloaded Apps from the App Store should have no issues with updates... the rest of us who either pre-dated the App Store but have the Apps loaded - will for now have to seek out any updates and manually update them..
I understand that there is a request internally at Apple to ensure the servers recognise the "non-App Store Apps" and include them in the automatic update, but they are probably waiting until the download bandwidth for Mountain Lion calms down a bit before working on this..
Hope that helps a few...

Can't Update Pages to my iMac. it says "already installed" but! Pages says 4.3.

Can't Update Pages to my iMac. it says "already installed" but! Pages says 4.3.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 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.
Older Pages 5 versions can not open newer Pages 5 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.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
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 removed over 95 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 can I sync a new Iphone 4s with an old 10.4.11 OS mac that can't update to the new version of itunes?

I have a Mac OS 10.4.11 that can't update to the newest version of Itunes. It does not recognize my new Iphone 4s. Is there other any way I can sync my phone? Apple support recommended that I update my Itunes from 9.2 to the new version but it won't install.

You cannot use an iPhone 4S with iTunes 9; you must have iTunes 10.5 or later, and that will indeed not run on Mac OS X 10.4. You'll need to upgrade your computer's OS to at least Mac OS X 10.5.8.
If, as Allan requested, you tell us your specific model of Mac, we can tell you what options you would have as regards compatible OS X versions.
Regards.

Can i update to a newer version of software i have 4.2.1 but it wont let me download some Apps as it requires a newer version

Hi guys
I CANNOT DOWNLOAD SOME OF THE APPS AS IT SAYS I NEED A NEWER SOFTWARE VERSION I HAVE 4.2.1 AT THE MOMENT AND I CANT SEEM TO DOWNLOAD A LOT OF APPS FOR MY SON ITS FRUSTRATING SO CAN I UPDATE TO A NEW VERSION?

There are still lots of apps available for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier. The trick is finding them. Here are a few tips and sites which are frequently mentioned in the iPod Touch forum:
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Discussion post by msgarmar - technique to sort apps by date.
iOS Search - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.

I can't update to the latest version of iTunes - complains that iTunes10.7.dmg is corrupt?

I can't update to the latest version of iTunes - complains that iTunes10.7.dmg is corrupt?

Surely iTunes should be upgraded automatically? It always has in the past.
Typically a computer does not automatically update itself. This would be highly undesirable in my opinion. What if it was it started doing it just as you were going to do a presentation? I have never heard of iTunes automatically updating itself.
Why do I have to download it again?
You can let Software Update do this if you wish.
And why from the Apple website and not the itunes website?
What iTunes web site? The "iTunes website" is the Apple web site.
And if I do, wont I lose all my playlists, the info from my old phone etc.
No, you shouldn't but once a month somebody complains here than an update wiped their iTunes collection. Not sure I believe them since i don't see how it could do it, but you should always back up first.
I have just bought an iphone 5, delivered today, which wont sync with 10.6.3.
Correct. An iPhone 5 requires iTunes 10.7
When I try to upgrade via iTunes, it tells me that I have the latest version.
Maybe it is the latest version your computer can run with the operrating system version you are using.
At this point I am just going to say it is polite to leave this topic to answer the questions of the original poster (OP). You are facing a pretty different set of issues and you should start your own topic where we can focus on your issues and not get it all muddled up with the OP's.

i have an iphone 3g with version 3.1.2..can i update it to higher version?is it possible to update its iOS?how do i update it?

An iPhone 3G can run up to iOS 4.2.1. To update:
- Ensure that you're using the latest version of iTunes.
- Connect your device to your computer using the included USB cable.
- After iTunes opens, select your device when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
- Click "Check for Update" in the Summary pane to check for available updates.

HT4539 can I update software on ipad version 4.2.1 ?

can I update software on ipad version 4.2.1 ?

See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

Did you try re-installing OS x Lion? That was the solution for me. Just make a back up with time machine and then restart your mac and during restart press ALT. Then you'll acces the support screen and there you can reinstall OS X lion on your macintosh HD.
This was the solution the people from Apple support gave me and afterwards I could download the update perfectly.

Nokia can I update page

Hi
If i try either my N95 product code (0547869) or my friends N95 code (0536062) on the can I update page I get the following responce.
Sorry, there is no software currently available for that product code via the Nokia Software Update tool. That is not a valid product code. Please check your product code and type it again. For example, most codes begin '05xxxxx'
Does anyone know whats happening I'm waiting patiently for an update for my N95.
Thanks
N900 (V3.2010.02-8.203.1 / Rx-51)
N97 (V21.0.102 / RM-505)

If it says that no updates are available then your phone is most likely network branded or network locked (or you already have the v20 firmware). Most networks don't bother approving new updates leaving thier customers stuck with old firmware.
If your phone isn't network locked see this faq for more info: http://europe.nokia.com/A4577229#faq35
A nokia care point/service centre may be able to update it for you.

Can't update pages and keynote: "this update is not avaiable to my apple ID"

I've just bought a Mac Book Air 13'' 4GB and I've just updated it to the Yosemite. But when I try to uptade my keynote, numbers or Pages to the newest version, it says it is not avaiable for my apple ID since the app has been bought by a different user or the app has been canceled or something. What is happening? Can anyone help me?

Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
Step 1
A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
Step 2
If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
Step 3
If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
Step 4
From the App Store menu bar, select
Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
Step 5
According to a report, the error can result from changing the language setting of your Apple ID account. I can't confirm.

How Can I update my app new version to the registered devices

Well, we have developed an in-house app using the Unity3d Game Engine. I'm using a Developer Enterprise account, and have already created the proper certificates, registered the devices (7 ipads) and generated the provisioning Profile. I have already clicked in the 'build an run', and the Unity Engine builds the app, that after is opened at the Xcode. I havel already fixed the bugs, and the app is working properly at the ipads.
The problem is, I will need to Update the app, and I need to Update them without have to get them and build them at my own Mac, since they do not stay with me. I've been strugling with that for a while. I have downloaded the provisioning profile and sent by e-mail to one of the ipads, the one I'm using to test, and instaled it, but the version of my app have not been updated.
I checked on my app icloud capabilities. The page about the Update of in-house apps is not very clear(http://help.apple.com/iosdeployment-apps/mac/1.1/#app43ad802c), and I'm new in the development for IOS.
How can update my app at this Ipads? Is there any step-by-step to follow, more eplanatory that the link above?

I didn't explained it correctly, I mean without getting the ipads, not the source code. I mean, at every time I need to launch a new version of the app, how can I update it through the internet, because I have installed my app running it at the ipads with the xcode, by usb. I'm using the enterprise program, so, as far as I know, the update is not through apple store.
The ipads are in use, and I'd like to update them without have to get them to install it myself. Hope I have explained it better this time. Thank you for your help.

After updating old Touch to 3.1.3, can no longer hear on Bose Sounddock. How can I update to an earlier version?

After updating old ipod touch to 3.1.3, can no longer hear it on old Bose Sounddock. How can I reverse-update to an older version? Or, is there something else I can do? I can hear the ipod on earbuds, but not on the sounddock.

All the monitoring is done through your sound device, not Audition. When you updated your PC, the sound device playback settings would have been reset. One of them includes input socket monitoring, and it's this that you need to reinstate. Since we don't know what sound device you are using, that's as much as we can tell you, except that if it's an internal device, you'll need to open the volume control options and alter it there. This varies between OS versions though...

HT1923 Can not Update to the lastest version of iTunes Windows Vista 32 bit

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit on a compaq laptop. I am trying to update to the lastest version of iTunes. I have tried to remove all of the exsisting componets of itunes but I am not able to remove iTunes and Apple Software Update. I get the same error message when trying to remove either.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
