on os 10.7.5 '08 pages app tells me I need a newer app to open an '08 pages document

I notice you say you have something on iOS 7.1 which does not work with Pages '08.

As I recall, the dropdown menu had no option for os 10.6.8. The sending computer works on os 10.7.5 and the receiving computer operates on 10.6.8. Both iMacs. The Pages app was downloaded from the same CD some time ago. The CD purchase was for three computers and has worked well until recently. No recent upgrades. Are the OSystems above compatible?  Frank

  • I was sent a .pages doc.  When I try to open it with pages I'm told "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have the newest version of pages on my computer. What should I do?

    I wonder if you are running an OS earlier than 10.9.x?  If so, you cannot run the *latest* version of Pages, which is 5.1.  Apple is trying to get you to update your OS to 10.9 Mavericks and then get you to update (but defintiely not upgrade) your Pages version to 5.1.  5.1 is, in everything but name, beta software. It not only has many bugs, it also lacks more than 90 features that are present in version 4.3 ("Pages 09"). One workaround that is to open the file with Pages for icloud (this is explcitly beta) and click tools|download a copy in Word format.  Pages 4.3, which is probably the version you have, can open Word documents.  Get a cup of coffee or a glass of wine before starting Pages for icloud: it is s-l-o-w.

  • I accientally synced my iPhone to 2 different computers. Now my older apps are on one computer and new apps are on another.  Every time I try to sync all apps on one computer it takes the other apps of and just syncs what is on that computer - Help please

    I cannot for the life of me figure this out.

    What you need to do is connect your phone to iTunes but do not click sync.  Go to File at the top and click transfer purchases from phone, that'll put all your apps into iTunes.  When it's done transferring, locate your phone on the sidebar and click it.  Then find the apps option above the picture of your iphone, you can select which apps you want or don't want on your phone.  After selecting your apps then you can sync.  Once you do this you should never have your problem anymore.

  • I am trying to open a pages document however it tells me I need the new version to do so. I have installed the new version however it keeps saying I need the new version. I have noticed that I still have the old blue ink pot icon not the new orange pen.

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • When i tap "update" on an app, or try and download a new app i get the loading wheel for around a second then it goes back to showing "update" and does nothing.  Any solutions for this?

    If you're really running iOS 8, you should be posting in the Developer's Forum, as you well know since you signed an NDA when you signed up for the Developer's program.

  • Want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through a long procedure each time

    I want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through the long tedious procedure each time I install firefox. It is something that should be in the options tab , and I want to know why it isn't. I am totally frustrated with firefox and getting ready to switch.

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

  • IPhone 4 app store app problem: updating or adding a new app will not download. The app "freezes" with "waiting" caption below.

    App store app problem: updating or adding a new app causes app to freeze up with "waiting" below app as if it's just waiting its turn, but will not finish and I am unable to use those apps! Help!

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

    Hello lberle
    Check to see if you are up to date on iOS by going to Settings > General > Software Update and update it if it needs it. Then update Pages one that is done by going to the App Store.

  • Why does order of apps and folders change when downloading new apps?

    Since I've downloaded iOS 6 on my iPhone 4s, whenever I download a new app, it goes at the beginning of page 2 on my desktop which of course changes the order of all the apps and folders. It didn't do this with iOS 5. It is a real pain. Is there some way to change it back to the way it used to be on iOS 5?
    Thank you.

    I think that I did that.  I checked the arrow to point up on the numerical listing of the tracks.  When I "burn" the CD, it shows them being written in order, but when the entire thing is completed and I go to the actual CD, they are all out of order.

  • Have latest version of Pages and am told I need a newer one!

    All of a sudden I cannot open any Pages documents in the normal way. I get a message saying: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document" - but I am running the latest Pages '09 version 4.0.4! I have re-booted, and also trashed the com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist, to no avail.
    What happens is this: I have re-booted and Pages is not open. I double click on a Pages document to open both Pages and the document but nothing happens, except that, weirdly, I get the Inspector on the desktop, although Pages is not open. I then open Pages manually. I double click on the icon of the document I want to open and get the message saying "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document". I go to File/Open and am able to open the document OK but when I close it and then try to re-open it again using the usual double-click method, I get the "need newer version" message again. Most frustrating. The only thing that has changed on my Mac recently is that I installed iLife '11 a couple of days ago, which surely shouldn't make any difference at all.

    It seems that I was not sufficiently clear.
    For some reason, the references to Pages'09 and Pages'08 where swapped in the database used by the operating system to choose the app asked to open a double-clicked document.
    So, when you double click with no Pages application open, the system trigger Pages'08.
    I repeat that if you open Pages '09 once and don't open Pages '08, it's Pages '09 which will be used to open double clicked documents.
    Moving iWork '08 components into a disk image is really easy.
    From Disk Utility, create a new disk image named iWork '08 whose size is set to 800 Mbytes.
    Open this disk image, drag and drop Keynote '08, Numbers '08, Pages '08 in this disk image
    Double click each moved application to check that it behave correctly.
    If all is OK, trash the original files
    or pack them as zip archive before trashing them
    or burn a CD with these three apps before trashing them.

  • TS1702 I recently restored my ipod touch, now  I can't install alot of my apps..It tells me I need a newer version of ipod..and I had all of these apps in the first place..what do I do??

    I recently started having trouble with my iPod touch after syncing with iTunes...I tried to download a app that I knew for sure is compatible with my device..it said I needed a newer version of iPod..So, I tried updating with iTunes..it said It was up to date..I was told to restore my device..so, after doing that..some of my apps I've had for years suddenly need a newer version of iPod to download...what can I do?? please help..

    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
