IWork & iLife (2013 new versions) stripped of features

I have found that every app from iWork and iLife 2013 have features that we have come to know and love STRIPPED away and we are just left with the barebones. Is this what is on the horizon with Apple? They are just planning to merge iOS with OS X? I love iOS but I don't buy a Macbook Pro to have the iOS version of an app. Such a shame...

A lot of templates are missing in iWork, and iMovie especially is messed up, you can't edit any of the titles such as font and color and you used to be able to fade audio in and out and I can't find it anywhere. Just use them for awhile and you'll notice that things that were there before are nowhere to be found.

  • When transferring data from my old iMac to a newer one do the old Apple apps like iWorks override the new versions installed on the newer computer?

    When transferring data from an older iMac to a newer iMac (refurbished) do the Apple applications like iWorks replace the ones on the newer  computer?
    I have read how to transfer data and using setup assistant but I am concerned about applications from Apple having the same names.

    As you likely know legacy apps that are PPC based will not migrate over. However the data files will. I would urge you to inventory the apps you have and their data files to see how important they are and then look app by app to see what app replacements are available. If you are using Office for Mac prior to the 2008 version you will need to get a new license of the app because the 2004 version was PPC based. The files will come over and are readable by newer version of Office for Mac (I recommend the 2011 version) and also readable by the iWorks apps (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) but those are different apps than Office and work differently and do not have all of the features of the MS Office apps. This is really only a issue if you share files with MS Office users, if you use them for personal work then iWork may be just fine for your needs.

  • I use the old version of firefox and have tried the new one BUT on the new one the down arrow next to the forward/back buttons is not there. I need to have this so I can return to several pages ago, please tell me if the new version has this feature

    Old versions have a down arrow next to the front and back buttons to show all the pages you have visiteed and can return to but the new version does not have this feature

    ( Windows) right click the arrows and the listing will appear. The change may well be documented somewhere but if so I do not recall where. Presumably other OS such as Mac's will also have the feature using some other shortcut.
    If this solves your problem please '''log in''' and then click the solved button, the question and answer will then display in search results and should help others.

  • Free iWork & iLife for new device?

    Hi,
    I activated the new device iPhone 5C, and as promised by Apple want to download the free apps iWork & iLife. But I see only the possibility to download for $ 9.99. Help me please.

    I figured out that now you can download them for free just by contacting iTunes Store Support and requesting redeem codes for apps made by Apple.

  • Firefox used to have an option on the navigation bar next to the back/forward buttons that showed navigation history - I could go back ten screens w/o hitting the back button ten times. Does the new version have this feature? If so, how do I enable it?

    It was a triangle button that provided a drop-down menu of my most recent navigation history within a site. Very convenient, esp for slide shows if I wanted to return to a slide that was 10-12 slides back.

    Firefox still has this feature, you just click and hold the back button or the forward button, depending on whether you want to go back or forward.

  • Error message need newer version since Yosemity

    Since the OS X update on my Macbook Pro to Yosemity, I can't open many numbers files and get the 'need newer version to open' error message. I've updated everything to the latest version. There is only 1 numbers program in my programs directory, no older versions as long as I can see. Tried to open fromout Numbers and from Finder with the 'open with' function. Always the same error. Please help. Need to access my files.
    Macbook Pro Retina
    OS X Yosemity 10.10.1
    Numbers 3.5 (2109)

    Hi Robert,
    Updating to Numbers 3 (Yosemite) did not remove Numbers '09 from your machine.

  • Performance of new version of Numbers versus Old version

    I only use Numbers to keep track of some small sales figures and work out pricing for products I sell and stuff. Not much.
    The old version of Numbers, the one before this new version for dummies, that launched on my Late 2012 iMac in one single second. For real, seriously, that fast.
    This new version? I can load up Safari with a dozen YouTube videos in tabs and they ALL load before this new version has finished booting itself up. It's astonishingly slow to launch. How? Why?!

    Hi Csound1,
    Document ("try Numbers '09") created and saved in Numbers '09
    In Finder, right click (or control click) and Get Info
    Choose Open With Numbers 2.3
    Change All...
    Click on Continue
    Now double click on that document in finder. It opens with Numbers 3.2
    Please review this User Tip:

  • Numbers keeps saying i need the newer version to open existing files- but it is the updated version

    I updated Pages and Numbers about 4/5 months ago and have done the updates but when I try to open my documents (ones I just created last week) I get a message saying I need the updated versio of Numbers in order to open it.
    Anyone?

    You are accidentally launching the previous version of Number while trying to open a file created (or saved with) the newer version.
    The Previous version is located in the folder "/Applications/iwork '09"
    The new version is located in the folder "/Applications"
    I keep both in my dock so I can tell them apart:
              Version                    Version
                   2.3                         3.x

  • 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

  • Would Apple be coming out with a newer version of iWork in future anytime  soon?

    I use iWork at work and head over heels in love. I won't ever we going back to Mircosoft Office. I had a Mac before and it died. I am hoping I can get a new as a birthday present to myself but before I purchase I saw iWork was 2009. Would there happen to be newer version coming out in the near furture. I don't want to purchase iWork 09 and then the next day the newer version is out.

    Apple never provides the kind of advance info you want, so it is pretty impossible to avoid the problem you mention.
    But in this particular case many think that a new version of iWork will be required to provide the features listed for OS X 10.8, to be released in July, so you may want to wait and see if that happens.

  • Why does a new firefox version disable common features and hide them completely from use

    When a new version of Firefox comes out of late, all to often when it has new features or a programmer has a different idea of what they like compared to the previous release, the features are enabled by default and things are rearranged without user choice. A case in point is that when I installed Firefox 24 on my wife's computer it disabled the menu bar and put the tabs on top. To add insult to injury there was no settings option to put the tabs back underneath!!! I don't care how much someone likes tabs on top, the proper way to handle these sorts of feature upgrades is to leave everything as it was in terms of settings and display a web page that has a button that says what each change is with a yes and no button so the user can try if they WANT or not, not just say (effectively) "we are the overlords and want you to use this and we know better". If this method is too difficult then just DON'T change the settings and leave it up to a "what's new" page. I know this is free SW and a lot of dedicated people contribute, but to do your darnedest to confuse or annoy your users is not the way to do it. Imagine if you took your car into have a new radio fitted and when you got it back the brake pedal was in the backseat and the guy said "we like it better that way"
    BTW, to have the tabs immediately above the web pages you are viewing makes way more sense than having them 3 lines away.

    Hi,
    I certainly agree that there were considerable changes made in Firefox v4 when it was released in March 2011. I was not a volunteer on this forum back then but looking back through the history there were quite a few support requests asking about how to make Firefox look like it used to. It was a big change to the UI.
    From the support volunteers' perspective all we can do is to try to provide clear, and easy to follow, answers when users ask about changes made in new versions.
    From Mozilla's perspective I believe one of the motivations behind introducing the [https://blog.mozilla.org/channels/2011/07/18/every-six-weeks/ rapid release calendar] was to ensure that updates were more incremental and less intrusive to users (i.e. only a few changes made with each release).
    The Firefox UI continues to evolve (for example a new logo was recently adopted) but since the update to v4 updates have been more continuous and each release has been more minor.
    My experience as a support volunteer is that this is an improvement for the users. The changes are made gradually and people have time to adapt.
    Having said that the next release of Firefox (v25) will introduce the first major redesign since v4 ([http://techcrunch.com/2013/06/01/mozilla-readies-major-firefox-redesign-as-it-ponders-what-the-browser-of-the-future-should-look-like/ Australis]).
    Those that prefer not to install feature updates and instead to just get security updates tend to use Firefox's Extended Support Release (ESR) versions. See here for more information:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/
    I hope this helps.

  • I cannot get pages from iWork's to share.  Do I need a new version of pages for Mountain Lion?

    I cannot get pages from iworks to share on Mountain Lion.  Do I need a new version of pages for Mountain Lion instead of iworks?

    You need Pages 09 (Version 4) to take advantage of Mountain Lion's iCloud features. You don't say what version you have.

  • Will mountain lion contain new version of ilife?

    I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, but I'm missing features in iphoto to use the icloud for streaming pictures, and cannot find an upgrade for ilife.
    Also, will Mountain Lion include an ilife upgrade?

    The picture streaming/subscription features were part of MobileMe's Gallery and were discontinued with the transition to iCloud. Apple may release new versions of these programs when Mountain Lion is released, but these are standalone programs that are usually upgraded separately. It is likely Apple will release updates to fix bugs and implement Mountain Lion-specific features in the programs, but less so that Apple will release full version upgrades. However, we will ultimately have to wait and see.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)
