No update for iWork from a disk. Refuses to open presentation without an update.

I bought iWork on a disk. Now it refuses to open a presentation and asks to update. No update in AppStore. OS X Mavericks. What to do?

For the purchased OSX Lion you can use this http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/39701/lion-diskmaker to make yourself a bootable DVD or USB-Stick from the Lion Installer app.

    Using OS 10-6-8. For no apparent reason, mail refused to open, the icon in the dock changed appearance and the application has disappeared except in iWork. Under Iwork, the message says: "you tried to open Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085) in: /Applications/iWork '06. Using OS 10-6-8. It can't be used on thius version of Mac OS X. Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications folder..."  How do I get back to mail and retrieve my existing messages?

    You should consider downloading the 10.6.8 combo updater and applying it again.

  • Can you get a free download of the new Pages through the appstore if you already have an earlier version of iworks from a disk?

    I have loaded mountain lion on my iMac and have an old version of iWorks on my machine.  It appears that all my Pages documents won't open unless I get the new version of Pages off the App store.  Does anyone know if that is a free download if you already have purchased iWorks previously on disk?  Thanks.

    No. The iWork (no 's') apps are a separate purchase. You should not have to buy any of the '09 apps again to work in Mountain Lion, you just need to update them.
    iWork '09 installed from the retail disk or from the downloaded trial must be updated through Software Update. In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have that needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window.
    But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. 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. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, 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.
    Alternatively, you can download the standalone updater here.

  • Continuity not working for iWork from iPhone to Mac

    Continuity not working for iWork. When I open numbers on my mac it can be continued to iPhone, however if I open numbers on iPhone the extended dock for numbers is not showing on mac please help!

    If you mean photo stream, that's because they only remain in iCloud for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photo stream photos remain on your iOS devices until you delete them).  When you first enable photo stream, you only get the photos from the last 39 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud.
    If you want to stream your old photo stream photos to iPhoto, add them to a shared photo stream on your phone and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.  Alternatively, you can import them using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • Pages refuses to open files and export

    I have become incredibly agitated as Pages will save a document then refuse to open it without any reason-does notr say it is corrupted, simply comes up with message '(doc name) cannot be opened. Also, when working on pages it has started to refuse to export docs into word and pdfs. Occassionally it will export one type and then refuse to do other, also without reason.
    I activated IWork after the trial period ran out so I am confused as to how to reinstall it without it being on a disk, if I need to do so.
    Any ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    When an application that was working correctly stops doing so the cause is likely corrupt preferences. There are a couple of ways to check this out. Log in as another user on your Mac & see if the behavior continues.
    If you have a particular document you want to try to open in the other user, move it to the HD > Users > Shared folder. Unless permissions are set for other users to read & write you may get a message that a copy will be opened.
    Quit Pages & then delete the com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist from HD > Users > [your account] > Library > Preferences. Then restart Pages & see what happens. You will have to reset some Pages preferences.
    If it were just one document, a trick I learned in the AppleWorks forum & has worked for some Pages users, is to save the document in iWork '05 format (use a different name) & then open it in Pages 2.
    You can reinstall iWork from the restore DVD that came with your Mac. Just make sure you have your serial number written down to reenter it. Apple has written an article, Knowledge Base article 61802 on restoring the software than came with your Mac. Reinstalling, though, will not remove the preference files, so they will need to be moved manually as above. There is also one for Keynote in each user's Library as well as the com.apple.iWork06.plist in HD > Library > Preferences which contains the serial number. It is unlikely that this preference file is corrupt.

  • IWork is not working on Yosemite after a fresh install from the disk

    Hi,
    I've freshly install yosemite on my computer.
    I first reinstalled my computer with original Snow Leopard and then made the upgrade to Yosemite.
    After that I used the Migration Assistant to transfert my old applications.
    Most of them are now running perfectly but I'm still facing issues with iWork.
    It refuses to launch with a message error saying that "Pages" for example is not working with this version of Mac OS and I should make al available update.
    There are indeed updates available from the App store but I can't download them because it is not available for my apple ID because someone else bought it or I cancelled the buying ?!
    It's strange because I bought it with my Macbook Pro in 2010 and even after a fresh install from the disk, the message is still the same...
    Any idea how to unlock these updates?

    Actually this doesn't explain everything.
    I finally reinstalled Snow Leopard / iWork 09' and then upgraded to Yosemite and everything is working like a charm.
    This issue has something to do with the use of the "Application migration tool" from Mac Os X Yosemite to collect old applications to the new os from another installation...
    I solved my issue this way because I don't have very valuable applications that I want to transfert but for other users, this could be a real issue...
    Thanks a lot for your answer

  • My pages are not working on Mountain Lion. I reinstalled iWork from the CD updated it  to 9.3 restarted computer and it still doesn't work. What else I can do? Heeelp!

    The Pages stop working on my computer when I upgraded OS to Mountain Lion. I reinstalled iWork from CD and updated to 9.3 version from Apple store. I also restarted computer before opening the iWork. It still doesn't work. It keeps giving me the error page. The same thing with Numbers. Only Keynotes opens.  What else can I do? Heeelp please! 

    We are not omniscient. Use screencapture on the error page. Shift + Command + 4 … then drag the cross-hairs around the error, and release. The Screen Shot will be written to your Desktop. Use the camera icon in this editor’s tool bar to embed that Screen Shot of your error in a follow-up post here.
    Did you move the Pages and Numbers applications out of /Application/iWork ’09 folder, where they are expected to reside? Did you run /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app, and on your boot drive, verify/repair permissions?

  • I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. However received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately. Ideas?

    I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. It opened normally. However, after editing, received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately and presumed they would work without a hitch. Am I missing something?

    It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • Software Update- it does not find an update for iWork '09 and '08

    I had a hard drive crash and after a trip to the Genius bar to fix and restore it, I have to reinstall all my software. Among that list of things is iWork '09 and '08. They are listed appropriately within the Applications folder, but no matter how many times I run Software Update- it does not find an update for either suite. I'm running 10.6.8 on a 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo MBP from 2009. Any idea why this is happening? I need my full functionality back as I need to be able to open and create/edit .doc and .docx files.
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    The latest versions of the iWork '08 apps are x.0.3. The latest of iWork '09 is 9.3 although you don't need higher than 9.0.4 for Snow Leopard. If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. 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. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, 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. The same applies for iWork '08.
    You can also download the standalone updater for iWork '09, 9.3, from this page.

  • Downloads from iTunes on my macbook air do not download on my desktop but remain in iTunes folder which refuse to open for use.

    I couldn't get downloads from iTunes to be on the desktop of my Macbook air but they remain in iTunes folder and refuse to open for use. What am I to do?

    Downloads of what?  Songs?  Apps?  Books?
    If you're talking about apps, then you have downloaded iOS apps which are intended to run on an iPhone or iPad, not a Mac.

  • Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

    updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

    It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
    Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
    As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
    Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:
