I updated to the new iWork Keynote... Animation/transition "Perspective" is no longer available... I wonder why?

Any reason why Apple deleted "Perspective" in their transition/animation... that was my favorite of them all.

The transitions are still there; they're just not enabled.
Since the removal of the option to restore old transitions in the Keynote menu, they remain inaccessible.
To prove they're still there - select the new Keynote app, right click, then select 'Show package contents'.
Navigate to 'Contents' -> 'Resources'; all the old Transitions are there under 'KNTransition' including my old favourite 'Color Planes' that has now disappeared too.
Someone just need to work out how to reactivate them...
Or Apple just needs to turn them on again.

I regret updating to the new iWork '13

Essential things like animations, transitions, customizable toolbars, gestures, good Instant Alpha, mixing themes, and all the things that made iWork stand apart are gone. After 4 years, I thought an update would be a step forward, not backward!!!
I regret updating to the new iWork '13!!

I feel the same way also. I am a Keynote poweruser—frequently using Photoshop to design individual elements with custom alpha transparencies and then using Keynote to composite everything together—and I can't help feel that this has been a major "downgrade". It does feel like Apple is trying to make the Mac version of Keynote match the iOS version. But I feel that that is a big mistake. A touch interface and a keyboard/trackpad interface are vastly different and each bring with them their own efficiencies and challenges. By trying to make the Mac version more like the iOS, we lose much of the efficiencies that make the Mac version special. I'm actually pretty depressed about this move. Until Apple upgrades Keynote 2013 at least to parity with the old version, I'm sticking with the old version which I still think is the world's most magnificent presentation program ever created!

How to tell Apple to stop harrasing users to update to the new iWork

I am reposting my reply in one of the discussions on iWork here as a new thread, hoping to get more direct help with my renewed concerns about iWork update.
We all have our own field of profession, our own workload and deadlines to meet.... I don't think it's ethical for Apple to dump that responsibility to users.
It's Apple's responsibility to make sure their updates don't leave out the features that users of the old version had invested their precious time / money in -- especially if Apple relentlessly pushes users to upgrade
It's been **** ever since my upgrade to new iWork. Long story short, I was back to iwork 9, after many trips to apple store, many hours reading and trying out various suggestions from forum discussion, and much headaches and loss of productivity....
After all that, you think Apple would leave you alone? No. Last week, I could not open my files that I need for my work beause an automatic update was running for me DESPITE the fact that a genious bar guy helped to make sure No AUTOMATIC UPDATE is selected in my system preference.
Now, I am back again with iWork 09, I want to keep it that way until Apple comes up with a sensible/responsible iWork update ...
But I am worried that the new version will be back on me, causing disruption again ... because I still see everyday Apple's notification urging me to update.
Please help me find out: How to tell Apple to stop harrasing users to update to their new iWork ?
How to hold Apple accountable ?
Your attention and suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Peter,
Thank you for your response. I know what you meant, and don't disagree with most of you said. Just wanted to avoid sending conflicting info to Razor06, I thought I'd make the following kind of counter points:
I am doing fine with my old Pages now, but not after frustrating weeks caught in between the 2 versions of Pages... In my experience, when both versions of Pages were running in my hard drive, the New version overtook the task every time... I could not get out of the trap until after I moved the New version to an external drive.
I used the word 'corrupted' facetiously to refer to the files that were opened by the New version
You were right: no need to re-save the old files that are not touched by the new version.... I said the same thing, but perhaps not as clearly ...
Apple does send me update notifications from time to time, because I only turned off the Auto Update. I did not turn off the Auto Check because I thought I still need it.
Totally see your points, no disagreement here:
         " Just get this straight:
                There are old files and software, and new files and software.
                The old can't open the new. "
Thanks again !

I have updated to the new version of iPhoto but it will no longer let me edit text in the preset text boxes. The text is highlighted for a nanosecond but will not stay highlighted so I can amend it. Can anyone help me with this. Many thanks.

You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:

In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.

HT1918 I had to change my Apple ID and had a credit in iTunes stores of about $100 - with the new e-mail address this amount is n longer available - any ideas how I can get this amount into my new Address? Tks

I had to change my e-mail address and therefore also my Apple ID & Password - I had about $100 in Credits from Apple Vouchers which I redeemed - with the new ID this amount is gone - is it possible to regain it?

Not on your own. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the cards; they'll only do this for completely unspent ones.

HT5534 I down loaded the new iwork update. Now when I create a document in pages save it and try to open it later some times the message comes that You need a later version of pages. Some times I don't have that problem.

I hate the new 5.0, and am having the same issue. Because I created or opened and saved several documents in the new 5.0 before I realized how bad it is, I had to figure out how to make them usable again.
I have both versions of Pages (5.0 and 4.3) in my Dock for now. If a document tells me that it can't be opned by 4.3, I opn 5.0, open the document, EXPORT it in 4.3 with the same name, and overwrite the old document. That usually (big dog willing and the creek don't rise!) gives me access to my work.
Once I am sure I have no remaining 5.0 douments around, I'll take 5.0 out of the dock.
It truly is a pain in the ***. Here's the comment I left for Apple –
I am now attempting to uninstall Pages 5.0 so I can go back to using Pages 4.3. The designers of 5.0 took away (or hid) so many of the functions that I've come to know and trust that I am appalled.
It is now a kindergarten version of the workhorse I knew and loved. IT EVEN LOOKS like a dumbed-down app now, with cartoon buttons that reflect its audience – people who don't need a sophisticated, customizable publishing tool, who just need simple icons they can point at LIKE A FAST FOOD CASH REGISTER.
I'll be using either 4.3 or Word for Mac from here on out.

I just bought the new late 2013 iMac. Can I get the new iWork for free?

I just bought a new late 2013 iMac. Can I get the new iWork for free? I updated it to Mavericks also. The Mac App store is showing $19.99 for each iWork component (Pages, Numbers, Keynote). I also bought the previous iWork version, if that matters. Free updates for iPhoto and iMovie seemed to show up with no problems. Maybe these are just glitches that will clear up in a couple of days?

Hi. If you want it to get updated, this should take care of it.
1. Uninstall iWork from your Mac.
2. Do a fresh install of iWork from DVD.
3. Install iWork update from Apple Downloads (direct link here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563)
4. Sign into the Mac App Store, and check for updates. It should now show up as a free update. You may have to give it a few minutes (i.e. 10-15 minutes).
I've been a Windows user for years, so I know all of the tricks by now. I had hoped I would not need this knowledge for a Mac, but oh well...
Good luck.

I am an Aperture user and I am tired of managing my old iphoto library seperately. In order to use the new combined aperture/iphoto abilities i need a newer version of iphoto. Apple says that the new iphoto is free, however my iphoto (version 8.1.2) did not update. How do i update iphoto so that i can use the library with Aperture?

iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband are free. However, you must be running Mavericks in order to download and use them. Mavericks is free also. Therefore your Mac must be capable of running Mavericks:
The following is from: Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iWork is not as it's an upgrade and not an update. Upgrades for iWork have always had to be purchased. However, the previous iWork apps will work fine with Mavericks.

I've tried the new iWork and feel cheated. I'm gonna stick with my old '09 version. It appears to have lost utility, and is now easily surpassed by Word 07. Is a new version that's worth the money and hype coming?

I've tried the new iWork (on a friend's new MacBook Pro) and feel very disappointed. I'm gonna stick with my old '09 version. It appears to have lost utility, and is now easily surpassed by Word 07. Dear Apple, from a veteran user: In your rush to market, you have dropped the basket on this one! Is a new version that's worth the money and hype coming?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
A lot of users have complained about the lack of features of the new iWork version. However, I'm sure Apple will add features with more updates in the future, like with Final Cut Pro X. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Until then, you can carry on using iWork '09, or try Microsoft Office 2011 or even LibreOffice, which is free and open-source

I can no more read old iWork files since I installed the new iWork

I installed the new iWork for iCloud and deleted the old iWork folder.
Since that I discovered that files older than iWork 9 cannot be open.
And I need all these files from time to time because I did not upgraded all files from 08 to 09.
I tried to re-installed iWork 08. No problem. It runs.
I tried to re-installed iWork 09. It do not run.
I also tried to de-installed the new iWork for iCould, but still, iWork 09 can no more be installed.
What should I do ?
Thanks for your help

Reinstall Pages '09 and update it to v 4.3 using the instructions here:

An Appeal to Apple about the new iWork release

I start with a quote from Jason D. O'Grady at ZDNet written in the beginning of this year:
"Apple is missing a prime opportunity here and basically ceding the market to Microsoft. Its users have a natural aversion to Microsoft products -- at least on the OS level -- and it's baffling that Apple isn't capitalizing on it with regular updates to iWork. Apple could simply add a couple of features, tighten up the UI and release iWork '10, iWork '11 every year (like almost every other software developer does). I know that I'd probably upgrade.
Instead Apple proceeds with its release and abandon strategy."
Why did Apple released this new iWork-version to us serious users? I love my iWork '09 and its truly intelligent and useful interface which has speeded up my workflow tremendously compared with using MS Office.
All users of a program expect that the next version will at least be as good and useful as the previous one, that features have been improved, useful stuff added, improvements leading to an even better and efficient workflow have been added etc. etc.
iWork could have been an important piece in increasing the market share on Macs worldwide and a fantastic alternative to MS Office that most of us are so tired of because of its lack of intuitiveness, poor-working word-formatting and layout-functions etc. etc.
I have been using iWork professionally for years now. The new version is not an alternative for me. It would ruin my iWork-work for years including my business as a technical writer.
I appeal to Apple:
Call the new iWork version for ’iWork Lite’ or ’iWork for beginners’.
Announce an iWork Pro-version as soon as possible and give an estimation of release date.
Let iWork ’09 be the minimum baseline for the version.
Assure a good backwards compatibility.
Do not change the basic interface compared with iWork ’09 with for example its customizable toolbar and floating inspector.
Give it a competitive price (compared with MS Office).
Give it great cloud functionality (greater and better than MS Office)
We all need better programs that Microsoft offers us.
You guys at Apple have been on track to make it. I appeal: Switch over to this track again! Today!

Kim

I disagree. The floating inspector was very useful as you could keep it away from the writing area, pull it off competely when not needed and call it back on request. At least, this should stay as an option rather than that invasive new sidebar.
I agree. Having the movable Inspectors was one of the best features of iWork. The way it was implemented with the descending order of tabs should have been widely adopted. Not trashed.
I keep my Inspectors and other palettes on a second monitor to allow a full view of my work on the first.
Having an independent Inspector, one not tied to context, allows the User to look for information and options without losing what you are doing at the moment.
Contextual linking suffers from a major problem. You must know the exact selection/combination of actions to make the controls appear. In other words you must know the correctly worded question to get the answer.
Don't get the wording of the question exactly the way the programmers want it and you will never find the answer.
There are examples of that in Pages 4.3, other Apple software and many areas of OSX in recent times.
It is very bad User Interface Design to conceal the access to solutions.
Effectively you turn the software into an Easter Egg hunt. Something that seems to amuse the personalities who program, but not those who are using software to an end and not just playing games.

Does the new iwork still support services/linkback?

I updated to Mavericks and to the new iWork and it all appears to be there, but doesn't seem to work. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's not supported anymore.
Thanks!

iWork apps like Pages can usually display Arabic correctly but have various bugs that probably make them unsuitable for this language for most purposes.

We updated to the new Pages 5.0.1 and now none of our Pages 9 documents will open. Please help.

Since you have Pages '09 documents it is safe to assume that you own Pages '09. If you bought it from the App Store you should be able to download it again to your new machine. If you have the install disks, you can install it on the new machine and the find the updater for it.
Or you can go to the Apple Store (make an appointment) and get them to install iWork '09 on your machine. They will do this for free if you can provide any proof that you owned it on your older machine. They may do it for free anyway.
As others said, your '09 files should open, so perhaps they were '08 files. In which case you must open with '09 first. For this reason Apple will sometimes give you a free version of iWork '09. If you are not near an Apple Store try phoning them. No guarantees, but others have reported that Apple sent them a free DVD.
Worse comes to worse, look to buy it on Amazon or eBay, but try Apple first.

I updated to the new iWork Keynote... Animation/transition "Perspective" is no longer available... I wonder why?
