If i install mavericks will my iwork'09 still work

I have downloaded but not installed mavericks on my macbook pro but am dithering about installing it.  Does iwork'09 work on it or will I be forced to pay for an upgrade.  I don't want to have a problem with older documents not being able to be opened.

iWork '09 will still work in Mavericks.
Apple has chopped away at all its software not just iWork.
Mavericks itself is a cut back OS in some regards and also only still at version 10.9.1. Usually I only fully commit when the OSX reaches v.3
I find it can be slow to respond on occassion and I do not like the implementation of Labels/Tabs. In fact there is a thread in the Mavericks forum almost as large as the feature list one we have here, just on that subject and the users are just as unhappy.
There is also the fact that it denies you older useful software that is not Mavericks compatible and pushes you deeper into relying on iCloud, the Mac App Store and other fav Apple ideas. I feel Apple's noose ever so gently tucking up under my Adams Apple in Mavericks.
If you already have paid versions of iWork '08 or '09 you will not have to pay for the Mavericks versions.
Keep in mind however that the latest iWork Apps are incompatible with everything else except themselves and hardware that can run Mavericks and iOS7.
iWork for iCloud beta is still just beta and more limited than any of the other variations. Really only to be used as a last resort.

  • If I upgrade to Mountain Lion on the computer that will install it, will my WIFI still work on the computer that cannot be upgraded? I know this is a very basic question

    If I upgrade to Mountain Lion on the computer that will install it, will my WIFI still work on the computer that cannot be upgraded? I know this is a very basic question. Trying to hold out as long as I can, but purchasing an iPhone for Christmas and new iMac next year when warrently expires.

    Thank U very much for the quick reply, I wanted to upgrade this weekend, but still on the fence. I can live with the software that is not compatible, they are on another compuetr, just didn't want the obvious stuff to stop working.

  • If I upgrade to Mavericks will FCP 6 still work?

    I have no intention of switching to FCP X but Snow Leopard is getting outdated for some applications.  Will FCP 6 work if I upgrade to Mavericks?

    I got an email today from a client who's buying a new macbook and wants to run fcp7 on it.  Told him he might be better off buying an older machine. 
    Buying an older machine is an option, but quite honestly, if your client is doing his work for professional purposes (whether for himself or 3rd parties) I would suggest that he purchase TWO older Macs (preferably the same model).
    Then he can set them both up and have a backup situation when the first one fails.  In the case of using a new Mac, this is not as important, as one can always run out to the Mac store, come home with a new replacement and restore their backup/clone and be up and running with little loss of time.  That scenario is not possible with a used Mac.
    Hardware drivers can function in Parallels, through USB, but not firewire.  What kind of hardware drivers are you talking about?
    Lastly, I have finally found a local source who will "loan" me his copy of FCP 6 for educational/research purposes!

  • Will my programs still work when upgrading to 10.6?

    I am using a MacPro with 10.5 and I want to upgrade to 10.6 but the thing is that I have some programs that I use continuously but I didn't pay for them (if you know what I mean...). Will these programs still work when I upgrade to 10.6?

    10.6 is Intel only. To continue the use of older non-Intel software, that software must work with Rosetta emulation (which almost evrything does). Be sure that when you are installing 10.6, the option to add Rosetta emulation to Mac OS X 10.6 is selected.

    I just bought a new iMac. Will my pse6 still work on it. Photoshop Elements

    You will need to tell us which OS?
    Is it OSX 10.9.2?
    If so PSE6 will usually work.

  • If you jailbreak your ipod touch and crack the screen will the warrenty still work? Also, would the warrenty fix the screen?

    If you jailbreak your ipod touch and crack the screen will the warrenty still work? Also, would the warrenty fix the screen? Would it cost money? Its a 5th gen.

    Once you jail break Apple won't help with the machine. I'm not even sure if they'll honor an 'out of warranty' replacement.
    Accidental damage, which is what a broken screen is, starts at $149 US

  • Installed Mavericks and latest iWorks and some fonts will not work. Strangely these fonts work in Notes and old version of Strickies. Any ideas?

    Installed Mavericks and latest updates for iWorks. Some fonts will not work on Pages or Keynote. Any ideas?

    It appears overkilling to install Bootcamp and a complete Windows environment just for running a single, old-fashioned piece of software...
    Old 32-bits Windows programs usually run fine with WINE, of which I warmly recommend the "PlayonMac" version (free).
    http://www.playonmac.com
    Just try with Playonmac...
    If it does not work, try the other free WINE port for Mac, Winebottler:
    http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/
    If even this does not work, there is a not-free WINE port named Crossover:

    It has a free trial mode, so you can test if it works with your scanner program before purchasing it...

  • HT6114 I installed Mavericks and now safari wont work.  Help!

    I gleefully installed Mavericks thinking I was doing the right thing.  After an hour of figuring out that I had internet connectivity but Safari wasnt working I spent several more hours trying to figure out what to do .  I did not back up the system before I upgraded (brillinat decision on my part) but now I am stuck.  Do I just use Firefox or chrome which dont seeem to have problems and wait until Apple comes out with a fix or???? I thought getting an Apple was supposed to avoid this kind of issue.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • LR 6 conversion   will lr 5 still work

    have all photos and catalog on external drive.  I have one machine with standalone lr 5 and a laptop with lr cc  6.  if I  update the catalog
    on the laptop to lr 6 cc will it still work on the lr 5 machine.   I can't upgrade it until win 10 comes out because it has a 32 bit oper system.
    Need to know before I do any work on my catalog.

    Hi Ed,
    Adobe upgraded the catalog format so Lightroom 5 will still work with its own catalog, but if you make any changes to a catalog in Lightroom 6 then LR5 won't be able to read that...
    You could however work independently on the two releases and then later merge/upgrade the two versions' catalogs together.  For more information on how to do that, see this comment and response:
    Q&A on “What’s the Difference Between Lightroom 6/CC vs. 5 – What’s New?”
    Does that answer your question?  Hope it helps!

  • If I buy music in iTunes USA will my music still work in Denmark?

    So I've been in America for over a year and I've bought quite a lot of the American iTunes such as movies and music, but I have to go back home to Denmark soon and I was wondering if my music I bought will still work or how that work? Cause I would really be unhappy if I had to go buy it all again..
    Anyone who have done this? Lived in one place and bought music trough that iTunes Store and the moved to another country? Please help me.

    It'll still work. Once you've downloaded it, you can play it from anywhere in the world.
