Iwork '09 Update

Ok, so I updated my Imac 2008 to OS X Mavericks, and now the App store is telling me that I have updates for my Iwork '09. It's trying to update to the ones with the new icons, and when I click the More Info, it says price is $19.99 updated 10/22/13. I want to know if that is the price to buy it or to upgrade to it. I don't want to pay for a new one because iWork '09 does fine for me. However, if it is free I will update it.
Updates:
Pages- v5.01
Keynote-v6.01
Numbers-v3.01

Hello Velocity8091,
Thank you for the question. If you are currently running iWork '09, you can upgrade to the latest version for free once you have OS X Mavericks:
Pricing & Availability
iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠.
You can find more information here:

http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2013/10/23Apple-Introduces-Next-Generation-iWork -and-iLife-Apps-for-OS-X-and-iOS.html
The $19.99 price you are seeing are for users who do not have iWork '09 currently installed and would like to purchase the iWork applications.
The following article has steps to install the update if you already have iWork installed:

IWork not updated!!!

Along with the rest of the nerds I watched the Keynote for the newest releases and updates for Apple. I was extreamly excited about the new iWork (Pages, Keynote, and Numbers) updates. However, I purchased my copy of iWork when I bought my MacBook Pro. I have not gotten an update for any of them yet and my App Store has already updated iMovie and iPhoto. Why has my iWork not updated yet?

Try signing out of the App Store and signing back in, then checking the Purchases tab. Posts elsewhere suggests this as a fix.Try signing out of the App Store and signing back in, then checking the Purchases tab. Posts elsewhere suggests this as a fix.

Will iWork apps update, when the OS is taken up from 10.8.5 to 10.10?

Have installed iWork '09 in 10.8.5. Does someone know: will the iWork apps update, when I take the machine to 10.10?
Thanks, David Allen

Thanks, Niel.
Is the separate download a whole new purchase, despite having already purchased? Or, is this one of those cases of apps that have to be 'accepted' in the software update process, to then be available for actual update?

Will my DVD installed iWork 09 update or do I need to purchase the new apps

I have installed on my Mac mini iwork 09 (from a DVD) will I need to purchase the new iWork apps or will they update for free?

I had the same problem and got it working. Here's what I did:
Moved the iWork '09 folder from Applications to the trash (didn't empty it though )
Sign out of the App Store and quit.
Open the App Store and sign in again.
Move the iWork '09 folder back to Applications.
Clicked on Updates in the App Store, and refreshed the page.
The three apps showed up with an Upgrade button instead of the price/buy app button. Had to re-enter my account ID and password to associate the apps with my account. After all that (and a couple hours before ), the apps started appearing in the App Store on my other computers.

IWork '09 updates?

Hello, I recently got a MacBook Pro loaded with OS X Yosemite. I installed iWork '09 because I wasn't going to buy iWork again. I then proceeded to the App Store, finding updates for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. They will not update due to the fact that I did not originally download them from the App Store. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Adam

Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept them into your Apple ID, do so.
2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
4. Buy them.

IWork'09 Update Issues

Last night when prompted by software updater, I installed the new iWork updates. This morning I have come to use Pages (As I do everyday) and it refuses to open due to 'A Problem'
Having checked the rest of the suite, none of iWorks now work after the update.
Anybody have any ideas or the same problem?

Welcome to the Apple forums
My first guess would be that you have moved the applications from the installed locations. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
Also, deleting the program's preference list is the #1 trouble-shooting step with any misbehaving application. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist, empty the Trash & then restart Pages. Repeat with Numbers & Keynote. This needs to be done for each user.

In What Order Do I Download iWork '09 Updates ?

Hello. I recently bought and installed iWork '09 (alas, after waiting in vain for iWork '11), and found several updates for the program.
The updates to iWork '09 are versions 9.0.1, 9.0.3 and 9.0.5.
Here is the link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&src=supportsite.home.search&locale=enUS&q=iWork%20%2709%20update
Is it recommended I just download the latest version (9.0.5), or shall I get them all in order, first to last?
Thanks, just wondering...

When the original version is installed, trigger the menu item :
Apple Menu > Software Update
It will scan the installed apps and will tell you which updates are required for Apple products.
For Java, it may urge you to apply an updater (say #2) then when this one will be applied it will urge you to apply an other updater (say #5) because the updater #5 doesn't install what is installed by the updater #2.
For iWork, only the late version (9.0.5) is displayed.
Is it necessary to add that it's the only required one ?
No need to ask in a so called genius bar, to phone to Apple or even ask on a forum.
The required info is directly available in front of us.
But I guess that our dear peter will write that it's a too deeply buried feature

IWork '05 updates/version

After reinstalling all software iWork '05 will not open documents. I've updated as best I can but still need a newer version, apparently. How can I find out which version/update I had before the reinstallation? I have the '05 driver but did I download version '06? I can't remember!

You are quite right about upgrading iWorks. It is surprising how the years go by. Actually I've just splashed out on a new macbook (yet to arrive), plus iWork 09, and my girlfriend was going to have this one, but she doesn't use iWork, so all is well.
I've just worked out that this macbook has cost me one euro per day of its life - a very worthwhile, trouble free investment.
Re the screen; I'm not sure if the settings got changed sometime ago, but since it looks great I'm not going to spend time worrying about it.
Thanks for your help. I hope the winter in Sweden is better than the one in Ireland.

IWorks '09 update

I have iWorks '09 and I want to update to the newest version, but in my App Store it shows that I need to buy each app again. What do I do?
I have logged in and out many times and i have also downloaded the latest version available in the Apple website and nothing.

So you installed Snow Leopard and now your trying to install iLife '09 and iWork '09 and when you do iTunes is opening? There should be an installer on the discs that you open to install.

IWork Pages Update Isn't Free

I have the iWork '09 suite of apps from the CD I purchased years ago on my iMac. I'd like to update to the latest versions of all the apps in iWork, and I THOUGHT they were now free. When I open Pages, it tells me there's a newer version available. Clicking that link takes me to the App Store where I'm presented with a $19.99 price tag to download the latest version. Am I missing something, as I thought these were now free?

The free Pages offer only applies to purchases of record from the OS X App Store, not purchases of the DVD from the Apple Store, or retailers. Trust me when I recommend that you do not want Pages v5.5.1 on your Mac — even if you could get it for free. It would cost you substantially more in frustration with the 100+ unsupported features that Pages ’09 enjoys.
Pages ’09 v4.3 will work with Yosemite, though so far, the ability to Share via Email is broken. Apple has an iWork 9.3 update that will bring your DVD pages to v4.3, which is recommended for Mavericks and Yosemite.
The Pages ’09 installation on Mavericks or Yosemite must be from the DVD, followed by the referenced updater.

IWork's update

I purchased a MacBook Air yesterday. I purchased iWorks for my old MacBook last year and now want to download iWorks to my Air using the Lic Number from my orginal iWorks. How do I proceed with this?

I'm guessing you bought the CD version and not the Mac App Store version.
In that case just make sure both your computers are connected to your network and turn on DVD or CD Sharing on for in your older Macbook (the one with a CD Drive, of course d:)
Here is a screenshot:
Insert your CD in your Macbook and on your Macbook Air, go to Finder. You should see it appear on the sidebar.
Install as you normally would with your old licience number.
Hope it helps! If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Updating iWork 09 with Lion

So my iWork wont update because of an issue that the update program is having. When I try to update the software it gives me an error meassage that says "An eligible application was not found in the location / Applications/ iWork '09."
I've had this problem since I stepped up to Lion. Anyone know what I should do?
Thanks,

If you originally got the iWork applications from a source other than the Mac App Store, yes. If you got them there, all the updates will come through it.

Software update iWork, numbers, pages, keynote

I need your help, please
the latest iWork software update (early FEB09, German Version) does not install. I am still using OS x 10.4, latest version. what can I do?
Many thanks for your early reply. EdmK

Pages, Numbers and Keynote MUST be stored in the same folder.
It's iWork '08 for the old version, it's iWork '09 for the new one.
This scheme is required by the updaters because we may have two or three versions installed.
On my machine are iWork '06, iWork '08, iWork '09.
If you want to be able to access the programs directly from the Applications folder, don't move the programs, create aliases.

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
