Older version of pages with iCloud/Mountain Lion

Im running pages 4.1. I bought the iWork suite when it was sold on discs. Can I still update to the latest iWork that integrates automatically with iCloud using Mountain Lion? If so how? I just purchased Mountain Lion so I could use this new feature.

Yes, you can update to iWork 9.2 to take advantage of Mountain Lion features. 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.
You can also download the standalone updater from this page.

  • Versions in Pages with iCloud sync

    Hello
    I love the versions feature supported by the iWork apps that was introduced back with Mac OS 10.7. Right now I am working on a number of Pages documents intermittently on my Macbook Pro as well as my iMac and I use iCloud to always have them ready to type away on what ever device I happen to be in front of.
    However, I have noticed that iCloud does not seem to support the versions feature. When I open one of the documents stored in iCloud, hold the pointer to the right of the document title, click the arrow, and then choose "Browse All Versions" the older versions do not show up.
    Am I doing anything wrong or does iCloud simply not sync the older versions?
    Stephan

    Hi PastFuture,
    iCloud only saves the current version.
    For example, I always save the document as a new one when I want to save the current version - so i have files like Project1.1, Project1,2, Project1.3, etc..

  • Older versions of Pages?

    Is there a way yo get older versions of Pages and Numbers? I have recently taken my Mac's back to LION and want to get the Pages and Numbers. I try to download them from my APP Store account but get an error message that says they only work on Mavericks.
    Thanks
    Harry

    One more try. Note, I'm doing this in Mountain Lion. I will not install Lion on any of my Macs. I assume it works in Lion, but it must be 10.7.4. I know it doesn't work in Snow Leopard, 10.6.8.
    You must purchase the iWork apps in Mavericks first. If you have not done this, it will not work. It can be done on any Mac with your Apple ID & password.
    On the Mac with Lion or Mountain Lion delete or compress then delete any versions of the iWork apps. Now launch the Mac App Store & click the Purchases tab. Click the Install button to the right of each app then sign into your Mac App Store account. You will then get the option to download the previous version.

  • Is Photoshop elements 11 compatible with Mac Mountain lion?

    Is Photoshop elements 11 compatible with Mac Mountain Lion?

    the older version of Photo Shop is no longer supported.
    Don't know which version you mean, but if you mean PSE, then versions 6 and up will work.
    You can't migrate any version of PSE, though, from one disk to another. It must be installed freshly on each machine, since adobe doesn't care about the apple developer guidelines and PSE is not a tidy mac app package--the PSE installer strews stuff all over your hard drive, and you can never move it and get all the necessary bits.
    What I was talking about is if you had a computer with 10.6 or 10.7 and PSE installed on it and then upgraded to mountain lion. In that case it's essential to go into the user library and delete any existing preference files before running it after installing 10.8.
    The instructions to install PSE in mountain lion are to put the disc the drive or to double click the downloaded .dmg file to mount it, and then to run the installer.

  • Is there a way to download the older version of Pages 9 if you upgraded to the new one?

    Is there any way to download the older version of Pages (9) once you have updated to the newer Pages?

    If you’ve already purchased the new iWork apps in Mavericks, you can use this trick to get Pages 4.3. If you still have access to a Mac running Mountain Lion. It must be Mountain Lion or Lion. Snow Leopard won't work. If the iWork '09 apps are installed, compress them & delete the originals. Launch the Mac App Store & click on the 'install' buttons under the iWork apps. You will get a message that you can't install the new version on this Mac but it will offer to download the previous version for you. Voilá, you have the self-contained apps that you can copy to another Mac.

  • Is there an application like "snag it" for mac?  Does it come with the Mountain Lion OS, or do I have to buy it separately?

    Is there an application like "snag it", which is part of the Microsoft Office suite for mac?  Does it come with the Mountain Lion OS, or do I have to buy it separately?  If it is a separate purchse, what would you recommend?

    Built-in to OS X is the ability to capture an entire screen or selected portions. Snaps are saved to the Desktop by default:
    COMMAND-SPACE-3 snaps the entire screen.
    COMMAND-SPACE-4 lets you select a portion of the screen to snap.
    In your Utilities folder is a utility called Grab that provides similar functionality and more.
    Then there are dozens of third-party solutions such as SnapNDrag and SnapzProX. You will find them and others at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Most have trial versions or trial times so you can test them out.

  • How do I set my older version of Pages as the default when opening files?

    I currently have two versions (Pages '08 3.0.3 and Pages '09 4.2) on my computer. I am finding that when others send me a document created in the older version of Pages, when I open it, it converts it to the newer version. If I make changes and send it back, that same person with only the older version cannot open the file. I know I can duplicate the file, and save a copy as the Pages '08 version when sending the file back, but I'd like to skip this step. Remembering to control click each new file to choose which version I want to open the file in seems like an extra, unecessary step as well. I simply want the files sent to me to open in the older version, so I don't need to go through these extra steps each time. Anyone have any suggestions or tips for me? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I do try to keep Pages 08 open on my computer, but I sometimes find that my documents will still convert to the 09 version upon opening them, even if I don't make any changes or even save the file myself. I also find that I do not get the "save as" option in Pages 09 when it is not a file I created myself. You wouldn't think a basic word processing file would have this much trouble opening in a version that really isn't that much older. I've been doing a lot of copying and pasting into the older version when I send files out. This really makes the 09 version inconvenient to me. If it weren't for all of my files that now require the 09 version to open (because of this default setting everything I open seems to become an 09 version) I'd get rid of this version all together, as it is not compatible for so many other people with whom I work!

  • Apple MacBook Pro 13" 2012 with OS Mountain Lion ships standard with iWorks?

    We recently purchased an Apple MacBook Pro 13" new, but from a recommended third party seller because we needed the 2012 version with OS Mountain Lion on it due to Pro Tools incapatability with Maverick.  Our Apple consultant told us that all Laptops ship standard with iWorks, but our college student who we purchased it for, says it is not on the laptop & that no software was included except what was already installed on the laptop.   Is this typical now with Apple, that you have to go & download your own software from the ITunes App store?  And is there a purchaser's code or something showing that there is no additional charge for the software?  Please help!  These laptops are expensive & should come with the typical Apple tools & software!  Also missing iPhoto, is this the same condition or did the seller rip us off?

    Just a caution when reading this forum for ML information ...
    Over 3 million have downloaded ML.  Count the number of "complaints and b*tching" like some in this thread, and you will find the number in the thousands.  Simple math will tell you how many users have enough of an issue, real or imagined, to actually say so.  Most users who are happy are too busy just using it to say anything.
    Now, as a reminder, you can download ML and load it on an external drive.  That way you can play with it to see what issues *you* may have based on your specific uses.  Of course external drives will respond more slowly than internal drives, but you should know if certain applications do not open.
    Also, check this site for applications that simply do not work under ML as "research": http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • How do I get an older version of Pages for older Macbook?

    I am interested in an older version of Pages, one that had the good template options for flyers. I have OS 10.7.5 and since I have an older mac book laptop, I cannot upgrade to Mavericks. How do I get an older version of Pages? Ultimately, I'm interested in making flyers with good ready made templates, so I'm open to another alternative as well, if you have suggestions, thanks!

    It sounds like you had Pages '08/'09.
    You don't still have it?
    It should be in your Applications/iWork folder if you do.

  • Does upgrading to new pages on iPad remove older version of pages

    Does upgrading to new pages on iPad remove older version of pages. In other words, after upgrading will I be able to open older Pages documents on the iPad?

    I took a while to figure this out after I got into the same mess. The new iWorks is a very bad downgrade. I have deleted Pages 5 from my Mac and gone back to Pages 4.3 (it is still there and was not removed when you updated to Pages 5.)
    I then deleted Pages 2 from my iPad and from iTunes.
    I used TIme Machine to go back to ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications in September and found "Pages 1.7.2.ipa" and brought it forward to my desktop. I then droped it into the iTunes icon in the Dock and it reinstalled.
    Hope this works for you.
    Apple can now take as long as they need to correct all the mistakes they made with the current version of iWorks - I will not be upgrading again until they do.
    Apple - Are you listening?

    Hi bluefleetwood, the options on this site are Mozilla's current support options for Firefox.
    Try the addons site again in case it was a temporary problem, or if it's an SSL certificate problem, please indicate what the page says about the certificate.
    You have a serif font for most of your Firefox UI. Can you let us know what font that is? Most likely it was selected in your Windows display settings (right-click Desktop, then Properties) and appears on many of your applications. It appears to be the same one for Menu text and Message Box text.

  • Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

    home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

    Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
    If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
    My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

  • Why can't I download an older version of Pages from the App Store?

    Is there any way to download an older version of Pages? Specifically, version 4.2?
    Upgrading my OS from 10.6.8 is not an option, and I live overseas in a place where I'm completely unable to recieve disks for older iWorks through the mail. This is frustrating... the App should either be compatible or alternatively should keep older versions available, if not on the app store then on the website somewhere. I'm willing to pay Apple for an older version, but have yet to figure out how that's even an option.
    Would love to know if there's a way to get Pages 4.2 that I've missed. Thanks

    Google "Apple iWork '09 Installer".
    Apple seems to have pulled the plug on the manual updaters so you may have to Google those as well.
