Numbers and Keynote without upgrading to Yosemite

I want to buy and install Pages and Keynote on OS X 10.9.5. The App Store would not let me buy and install the latest versions because they seem to require Yosemite. I don't want to upgrade to Yosemite yet as some other software I use has number of issues running under Yosemite.
Is there a way to buy and install an earlier version of both Pages and Keynote? Or is Apple forcing us to upgrade?
Thanks for your help.

Are you serious? Are you saying that Apple not only forces an upgrade to Yosemite but releases applications that are not backward compatible (like the latest version of Pages and Keynote)?
Apple operates a trap door. Once a newer version of the same application software becomes available, the older software is no longer available for purchase. This is an inherent forced upgrade to Yosemite to get the latest versions, and yes, it is a dangerous precedent.
See if you can live with the spreadsheet and presentation components in the free LibreOffice. Based on active development, I would suspect that though less pretty to look at, the compatibility with Excel and PowerPoint is far better than Apple can provide. If you go this route, snag the associated documentation for Calc and Impress respectively.

Updating Pages, Numbers and Keynote in OS X Yosemite

I have a mid 2009 white MacBook, on which I have just installed OXS Yosemite. I am prompted to update Pages, Numbers and Keynote in the Mac App store. When I try to do this (also when I try to update via software update notifications), I am then told they can't update because they were not purchased with this Apple ID. I presume I set up my Apple ID after I'd purchased this MacBook with iWork preinstalled. I'd even be happy to repurchase these apps, but the app store won't let me because it just says 'update' instead of giving me a price. Any thoughts?

Here is a link to App Store Support. Apple iWork applications were never preinstalled on Apple hardware prior to 2014. This was a separate purchase, either earlier on via iWork '09 DVD, or later by OS X App Store purchase. Your preinstalled comment suggests to me that your Mac was pre-owned, and someone else installed iWork '09 applications using their Apple ID — which would block you from updating through your own Apple ID.
The iWork ’09 applications that are currently installed have considerably more functionality than the new (rewritten) applications that prompt those update notices. You do not have to update to Pages v5.5.1, Numbers 3.5, and Keynote 6.5. You should however, update the iWork '09 applications via the Apple iWork 9.3 updater.
If you want to disable the nagging update to newer software messages in Yosemite, I suggest you visit System Preferences > App Store. Check Install system data files and security updates, uncheck Download newly available updates in the background, and then uncheck Automatically check for updates.

Yesterday taking consierable time, effort and money I upgraded Pages, Numbers and Keynote and now I can't get "SAVE AS" in pages! Help! What to do?

Yesterday, having taken considerable time, effort and money I upgraded Pages, Numbers and Keynote. All because I have just bought an iPad and couldn't transfer files unless I got a newer version of Pages!
Now I can't get "Save As" in Pages. It will only show "Save a Version".
Haven't a clue what has happened and would like to get Save as - as in the past.
Help! What to do?

I don't think you lose anything going from Lion to Mountain Lion. Lion just seems "unfinished" to me. I don't have Lion on any Mac. I do have one running Snow Leopard & a couple of PPC Macs running Tiger.
The only way to upgrade to Mountain Lion is to purchase it in the Mac App Store.

Can't update pages, numbers, and keynote!

This is weird: I just upgraded my MacBook Pro from Mountain Lion to Yosemite.
and all the three apps didn't upgraded: pages, numbers, and keynote.
when I go to the app store and click on update they said:
This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
I tried also with my brother apple ID I got the same thing!!!
does anyone can help me please?
or got the same problem??

Unfortunately she Accepted those apps into her Apple ID before you could and they now belong to her. Her Apple ID is now encoded into those copies on your Mac. She would be the only one to redownload them and to update them. To change that will require a big mess.

My iPad Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps Stopped Syncing with iCloud Drive

My iPad Air (iOS 8.0.2) is synced with my iCloud Drive, and all of its apps (Notes, Contacts, Calendar, etc.) sync perfectly with iCloud Drive... except for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
When I open Pages, Numbers, or Keynote on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0.2), my Mac (Yosemite beta), or my iCloud.com page, all files are there and all apps sync perfectly with one another. It's just Pages, Numbers, and Keynote on my iPad that refuses to sync. When I open my iPhone Pages app, I even see the text "Updating" at the top of the screen. But not on my iPad version.
I even factory restored my iPad and started all over again. And for a moment, the Pages app got something. A few docs and one folder appeared. But then it stopped again. And I haven't been able to repeat the process.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Hello lippyloggy,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud Drive:
Using iWork with iCloud Drive
Options for iWork customers
1. Upgrade to iCloud Drive later this year when OS X Yosemite is available.
Choose this option if you’d like your documents to keep up to date with your apps on OS X Mavericks or earlier. Note that until you upgrade your iCloud account to iCloud Drive, you won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com or the Share via iCloud feature.
If you don’t upgrade to iCloud Drive at this time:
Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8 and across devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
You won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
You won’t be able to use the Share via iCloud feature.
Documents you previously shared via iCloud won’t be accessible to collaborators until you upgrade to iCloud Drive.
2. Upgrade to iCloud Drive today.
Choose this option if you’d like to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com and the Share via iCloud feature. To access the most recent versions of your documents from a Mac with OS X Mavericks or earlier, you’ll need to go to iCloud.com and access Pages, Numbers, and Keynote from there. On a PC, you can install iCloud for Windows 4.0and set up iCloud Drive.If you upgrade to iCloud Drive now:
Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8, Macs with OS X Yosemite, PCs with iCloud for Windows 4.0, and iCloud.com. (OS X Yosemite will be available this fall.)
Your documents will no longer keep up to date on devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
You’ll be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
You’ll be able to use the Share via iCloud feature on iOS 8 and iCloud.com. You’ll be able to use it on OS X Yosemite later this year.
Documents you previously shared via iCloud will be accessible to collaborators.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

How to install Pages, Numbers and Keynote again in iPhone ?

Hi,
I bought an iPhone 6 plus and it comes with pages, numbers and keynote with it.
2 days ago those I accidentally deleted those apps
Now when I wanted to download the Apps again it says $9.99
Given that in my Apple ID I haven't bought those apps.
But I bought the iPhone that comes with those apps
So I thought I should be able to re download it
Is there a way to restore those apps without purchasing them?

Did you ever back up our phone to your computer? if yes, those app should be part of the iTunes library. Sync them again to your device.
You could also try to set your device back to factory settings and see if the apps are installed during this process.

Can I download an app from the Mac App store without upgrading to Yosemite

I purchased the Lion upgrade through Apple for my Late 2006 MacBook and was given a redemption code to use in the Mac App store. I cannot open or download the Mac App store without upgrading to Yosemite, which is impossible with my old MacBook. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks

If for some reason App Store is not showing on your 10.6.8, check Apple logo > about this Mac And the version number. Anything less than 10.6.6 would explain it. If that is the case, software update, preferably to the 10.6.8 Combo.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 It is a big update.

I got the new update for my macbook air and know it is saying that i have to pay for pages, numbers, and keynote and it said that it was free before i did the update

I got the new update for my macbook air and know it is saying that i have to pay for pages, numbers, and keynote and it said that it was free before i did the update.Can somebody please help... I need pages for a school report.

If you had the previous version of those apps on your machine then the upgrade is free.
If you didn't have them installed you must purchase them.

I was told at the Apple store that Apple was now offering Pages, numbers and keynote free with the Mavericks download. I noticed that I got the free when I downloaded the newest operating system on my iPad. True? And if so, how do you do it?

I was told at the Apple Store when Mavericks was introduced that Pages, Numbers and Keynote would be offered at no charge with Mavericks. When I downloaded Mavericks, I could not figure out how to download them without the charges. When I downloaded the most recent OS to my iPad, I got a prompt to download them. Can someone tell me how to download them without the charges?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It's not correct at all. It is true that Apple is offering Numbers, Keynote and Pages for free, but only for users who have purchased a Mac after October 1st, 2013, and for existing iWork '09 users. If you have not got iWork '09 and you purchased your Mac before October 1st, you need to pay for these apps.
The new iWork version (Numbers, Keynote and Pages) is criticised by its lack of features. Instead, I recommend you to get LibreOffice or, if you need the most complete productivity suite, Office for Mac. Give LibreOffice a try first

How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc? I need to create and edit between both.

How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc? I need to create and edit and exchange between both types of operating systems.

Your Windows system will not open any Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents. No applications exist for Windows that can open those formats. You will need to export your documents in Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats, respectively, before you'll be able to view and edit the documents on your Windows system. The iWork documents can natively open Word, Excel and PP documents, though there are limitations on what can be imported (for instance, Numbers does not support all possible Excel functions). Consult the documentation for the relevant iWork application for details on importing and exporting.
If you are asking how to get the documents from one system to the other, then there are several ways to do that, including file sharing, using an external drive (hard drive, USB flash drive), or emailing the documents to yourself. Which would be best for your situation I can't say without more details about your usage.

Pages numbers and keynotes not working on handoff, but everything else is?

Pages numbers and keynotes not working on handoff, but everything else is, map, mail etc. Am I alone?

Really appreciate your help with this. I am a bit of a novice here.. but.. After some more searching on this issue I notice your comments (cut/pasted below) with respect to this router and bridging mode. You mentioned that I should update my firmware on this router and that this would (if I am interpreting your reply correctly) facilitate my LAN to LAN connection and of course using this router simply as an access point and more to the point - having the use of the guest network. So my question is even if I did update firmware, seems I would still require 3rd party software to make this work? (re your last sentence in your comments below) Just need to understand the process and determine whether or not it is worth it (or maybe I should upgrade the router) but I don't want to change the configs of the network wired router at this time... and need to use the E2500 or facsimile as simply an access point with guest network functionality, Thanks much appreciated.
"Again: some E series routers already support wired bridging in firmware, i.e. to use the router as simple access point.
This is and was always possible using a LAN-LAN setup instead.
The problem with the LAN-LAN setup is, however, that you have some limitations accessing the network storage or network printer, e.g. the router doesn't have the correct time and you cannot access the storage from remote using port forwarding through your main router.
These limitations have been overcome with the wired bridge mode (internet connection type = bridge mode).
But again: this has absolutely nothing to do with wireless bridging. That's something completely different and is not supported on Linksys routers in any firmware version so far. To do wireless bridging (i.e. the Linksys routers connects wirelessly to another main router) you need 3rd party firmware."

I brought a new Mac book air but did not buy iWork apps ( pages, numbers and keynote) now that I have downloaded OS Maverick will I get these apps free to download? Because when I visit the store it still has the buy option with the price listed

I brought a Mac book Air this September. However I did not buy the apps pages, numbers and keynote. I was
Delighted to hear these apps are free - however when I tried to download them from the
App Store - I still find the buy button with the price.
So will these apps be free

Buy Pages, Numbers and Keynote?

I bought a MacBook Pro retina less than a year ago and I thought Pages, Numbers and Keynote would come with the purchase given that's what it says on this site. Do I really have to buy them so I can have a "basic" computer?

You need to have either owned previous versions of the iWork Apps or have bought the Mac after September 2013.
You already have a "basic" computer, what have you been doing for the last year?
If you want the latest iWork Apps (not a good idea IMHO) you can buy the iWork '09 boxed DVD for US$19.99 from Amazon and that will entitle you to free upgrades to the current versions, but be warned the latest versions are actually inferior to the previous versions and are buggy:

LibreOffice [free] is another alternative.

I have pages, numbers and keynote on my macbook pro, but when i try to use the apps on my new iMac it will not let me save

I purchased Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my MacBook Pro and iPad last year. I just purchased a new iMac for my wife and it came with iWorks. When I try to save a document on the iMac it tells me I must buy an iWorks serial number, but the App Store shows the applications as installed and will not process the request. How do I correct?

Did you pay for iWorks to come preinstalled on the iMac? Because it sounds like what you have is a trial version, which is why it is stating that you need to buy a serial number.
I suggest that you delete the entire trial iWorks suite. Once they are safely in the Trash where the Mac App Store can't see them, you can sign into your account on the MAS and download the MAS versions that you own a license to use.

I bought iPad air. How can I download for free the app : iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, Numbers and Keynote?

I bought iPad air. How can I download for free the app : iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, Numbers and Keynote?

Before you can download free apps:
1. Make sure you are using IOS 7 (ignore)
2. Make sure your iPad is registered in My Support Profile.

3. Try downloading again; it should be free.
If you need serial number, it's here:
