My older version document wont open in the new pages

I keep getting a prompt that my document wont open unless I update. I have updated it and doublechecked it, and it still wont open.

To me it sounds that you are opening a Pages 5 document in Pages 09.

  • I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
    The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
    That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
    SO...
    When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
    Many Thanks!

  • I can't install an older version of flash player and the new one won't work.

    I've read on the boards everyone says to run the Adobe uninstaller prior to trying to install the older version and I did, but the download still says it can't install the older version because it isn't the current version. And the current version isn't running on my computer. All I have is a black screen. I need the adobe flash player to for work purposes and it is really hindering my ability to function at work without it. Can someone please provide some kind of help that may actually work? Because I've uninstalled and reinstalled this several times. I have tried adjusting settings...everything I have found on the boards so far.

    My experience (going back to a G5 iMac in 2005) is that you MUST install the lower version first in order to run two different versions on the same machine. I did it that way with CS and CS3, then CS3 and CS4, and later on my MacBook with CS4 and CS5. Now my Mini has CS5.5 and CS6, but I've always had to install the lower CS version first or the higher would keep the lower from installing.
    So you will probably have to remove CS4 and then reinstall them both in the proper order.
    Is there any particular reason you want or need both? In my case, I already had CS 3 and installed CS4 in addition, but later removed CS3 as I found CS4 was able to do everything CS3 did and then some. In fact I'm unaware of anything aside from some older filters that would run better in CS3 than CS4.

  • Install older version of Photoshop and keep the new one

    Hi,
    I use PS CC 2014 and I encountered some issues with it.
    I want to reinstall PS CC (1 version older than what i currently have) and keep both versions.
    Is it safe to install the older version and still keep the older one?
    Will it not overwrite newer files? Will it overwrite my new settings?
    e.g. will it overwrite the ACR version?
    Thank you

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Can I exchange my older version of ipod touch for the new version?

    I know it will probably cost money, I just want to know if I can do this all, and if I can, will it cost less money than if I just got the new virson?

    No.
    They have a recycle program.  You can turn in your ipod for a 10% discount on a new one.

  • Is there any harm in installing an older version of Acrobat along with the new version?

    I'm running Acrobat v11.0.04 on my iMac. For my work, I have to create pdfs and upload them to a special server that then generates dynamic versions of them (blah blah blah... I don't really understand that part of it...). Anyway, it can't use PDFs created by this version of Acrobat... or the last few versions, for that matter. So... is there any harm in installing version 8 (which does work) on my iMac? I don't want to get rid of version 11... I want to have both.
    Thanks!
    julie

    I am not sure anyone knows what the server needs. We just know what doesn't work. What DOES work are the pdfs I compile (I have to combine two pdfs into one) are the ones created from version 8. I will ask if I can get specifications. It's confusing because I create the pdfs and send them to someone else. He uploads them to this server which is run by another company. So there are a lot of different levels involved. All I know is that every time a new version of Acrobat comes out, I create a test pdf and it doesn't work. I always have to go back to version 8. I recently bought a new computer and didn't want to install version 8... but unless we can figure out  a way to generate the "right" pdfs, it looks like I  might have to. Anyway, I'll see what I can find out.

    What computer?

  • Why are objects in tables removed when opening a document (created in pages 2009) in the new pages?

    I have a problem: Documents I created in Pages 2009, when opened in the new Pages I get "objects in tables were removed".
    This makes all my documents useless !
    Is there any way to get the objects (images and tables mostly) to load into the tables across all my documents ?

    No, there isn't. Use Pages 09 with your old documents and Pages 5.0 for creating new ones. Do you really need Pages 5.0 is the question you need to answer. If not, don't.

    Actually, there seems to be a bit of a bug.  Encountered this with a couple of files my wife made.  The files were set to "open with" the new Keynote, but clicking the file brought up this error.  Right-clicking and selecting "open with..." worked correctly.  I can only assume the OS was attempting to open the file with Keynote '09 despite the file property setting.
    Probably requires a Launch Services DB reset (although I haven't actually tried it on my wife's MBA yet...since she's still "working on stuff".  So I can't confirm if it will solve the problem).

  • My keynote has frozen and wont open but the saved version wont open either. if i restart my laptop i am afraid that it will erase my work. please help me

    my keynote has frozen and wont open but the saved version wont open either. if i restart my laptop i am afraid that it will erase my work. please help me

    Try this repair for Keynote 6.2,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1 
    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
    2 
    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash
    3 
    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in. 
    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4
    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions
    5
    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
    6 
    install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped

  • I have been able to open pdfs created in older versions of adobe, but not the newest version. Is anyone having issues opening PDFs sent via email created in version 9?

    I have been able to open pdfs created in older versions of adobe, but not the newest version. Is anyone having issues opening PDFs sent via email created in version 9? If so, what was your solution? I have PDF reader app as well.

    Can you open the files in Preview?

  • I duplicated a document created originally in new pages 5.1 and exported that copy to the older pages '09. I see the document listed in the old pages but my computer refuses to open it demanding I download the newer pages app... which I have. Now what?

    I am able to open the document through finder, but I can't with Pages '09.

    I have the latest operating system on my '09 macbook pro. My old pages is pages '09.
    When this document was created I didn't realize I did it under Pages 5.1, which I now realize is limited in capabilities so it can speak to iOS devices through iCloud.
    I duplicated that file, renamed it "Yardening copy" and exported to Pages '09. I see the file in the pages listing, but when I try to open it there I get a warning that I need to download the new Pages 5.1... which I have on my computer. I even tried to email it to myself hoping that might work on a lark, but the file is too larg being that it includes pictures.
    I can find the copy via finder, and yes, double click it and it opens... but I'm assuming it is using Pages 5.1 to do so.
    Do I really have to copy and past all the info on this document onto a new Pages '09 document where I want to maintain my  master library of documents?

  • How do I open an old Pages document in the new Pages?

    A couple of years ago my brother-in-law helped me to remake my resume, and saved it as a pages document.  I now need my resume again but cannot open it because the new pages keeps telling me I have to open it in Pages '09 and save it again.  I do not own any older version of pages and do not intend on purchasing an older version for just one document.  Is there anyway I can get it, or is lost?

    Pages 5.2 will not open a Pages '08 or earlier file.
    You need the original version of Pages or Pages '09 to open and resave it. Or Export it to Word .doc.
    This is why I have long recommended not to use any Apple software for long term work. Apple has done this to its users' work repeatedly. It can no longer be a surprise to anyone.
    Pages 5.2 file format is now so obscure and impenetrable it is positively the worst place to hold your work, especially as it is so buggy.

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

    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.

  • When I use the new Pages on my iPad, I can't open it on my new computer. It tells me that I must download the new Pages to see the Pages document, but when I try to download the new pages to my computer it tells me all apps are up to date.

    When I use the new Pages app. On my IPod  to type documents, I can't open them on my new computer. It sends me a message that I have to download a newer version of pages to see the Pages document. When I try to do that it tells me all my apps are up to date and will not allow me to upgrade the pages on my iMac.
    Any suggestions?
