Pages '09 version 4.2 (1008) won't update.

I have Pages '09 version 4.2 (1008) that I bought as an add-on through the Apple Store on my iMac, not the App Store. App store has update but won't work, bc there is no record of purchase. How do I update apps not bought on App Store? If it was not bought on App Store, why are there updates available THROUGH App Store? I tried Software Update and pulls up App Store.
Also had a problem with pre-installed iPhoto and iMovie not updating for the same reason, so Apple support gave me download codes to "purchase" it through App Store. Really dumb. Why do they have the option to add on applications like Pages when you order a computer online, if it can't be updated? I know iMovie and iPhoto come stock, so all the more reason it should just work.

What do you mean it can't be updated? What is not happening. I bought the iWork dvd and now it will update through the Mac AppStore.

  • OS X version 10.5.8 won't update

    I have a MacBook with Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and when I select software update it tells me "Software Update doesn’t have any new software for your computer at this time."  How do I update my software?

    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download...
    Do this...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

  • My MacBook Pro version 10.6.8 won't update.

    Every time I go to software update it asks me to restart my macbook pro and have it charging. It is supposed to update the software but it just restarts normally and doesn't update. What can I do? Please help me fast.

    Are there updates available? 10.6.8 is the last in the line of updates for the Snow Leopard version of OS X.
    Not sure what you are looking for but I suspect your Mac is up to date.

  • FCP won't update to latest version iteration, 5.1.2

    While running software update on my iMac dual core, I noted the automatic download of Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 plus a Motion update. Great... however, on my G5 dual processor, my FCP version is 5.0.4. I run the software update each week, including today, and there has not been a new version update on this FCP in weeks. I went to the software support for FCP and downloaded the 5.1.2 version which, of course, won't update 5.0.4 because the update will only update 5.1 versions. I went to the earlier update sections to see if I could locate a 5.1 update download, to no avail. The only version available in the earlier downloads section is the version I am already running on my G5, 5.0.4. Seems like a catch 22 here... is version 5.1.2 available for dual processor G5s? I updated to the entire studio and to the universal version of FCP several months ago and don't understand why I can't upgrade my G5 installed FCP. Any suggestions?? Thank you.

    Hi, Patrick,
    Thanks for your response... the unfortunate aspect is
    that I have already crossgraded! And stilll the
    upgrade won't upgrade.... mebbe a re-install of the
    entire program might work, so I'll give that a try.
    Thnx for your help! Much appreciated...
    It looks as though you have the correct version on your iMac, but have not crossgraded on your G5. If you had crossgraded on your G5 the version number for that machine would show 5.1 or 5.1.1. Remember, just because you have a license for your iMac doesn't mean that you can install it on your g5 too. You have to have a separate license for each machine.

  • Pages, Numbers and Keynote won't update.  App Store says update was applied, but when I open Pages/Number/Keynote, the version of  it shows the old version.

    Pages, Numbers and Keynote won't update.  App Store says update was applied, but when I open Pages/Number/Keynote, the version of  it shows the old version.

    When you updated, the old version remained on your Mac, in a subfolder within Applications named iWork '09.  Any icons you have on the Dock still point to that old version.  Try opening the Numbers that is located in your main Applications folder, not the one in the subfolder. If that works, then drag that one to the Dock.

    It sounds to me as though you are attempting to open a Pages 09 document with the Pages 08 application. If you do have Pages 09 on your computer, it may be that for some reason an existing Pages 08 application is invoked accidentally.

  • I have firefox16.0 and would like to update to the most recent version (19). But my Firefox won't update

    Hi there
    I've got windows vista on my computer, and am using Firefox 16.0. Have been for a while now, ever since it was installed a year ago or so.
    The thing is, Firefox won't update to the latest version (currently version 19 I believe), neither automatically or manually. I've tried everything, including using the "help" function. The window only says it's Firefox 16.0, but when I click on "update", the page just refresh and that's it, nothing else happens. I've checked all other settings, and it looks like all the right boxes are ticked, including "update Firefox automatically".
    Coming to think about it, on my wife's computer, we are always told about new updates for Firefox. On this one, no update alert of any sorts since it was installed a while ago (and again, all the right boxes being ticked)
    Please can anybody help? Should i reinstall Firefox altogether?
    Thanks for your help

  • Ozone 3 Demo great, bought the full version and now it won't work

    Bought Ozone 3 for mastering because I downloaded a trial version that was great. Installed the full version and now it won't show up in my garageband effects windows? Any help would be greatly appreciated. It shows up in pro-tools but not garageband? Any ideas or advice?
    Thanks in advance.

    I was able to get some help with the situation by going to the thread at:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4091321?tstart=0
    I followed the basic idea of the guy who said OH!  I've got it! or something like that.  He listed several things to do to uninstall all apple programs then finally amds (which did uninstall but it still displayed in the Programs page) as well as to download the newest version of iTunes, save it to the desktop and run it by right-clicking and installing as admin.  It worked.  Thanks for offering to help with the situation.

  • Can't move pages in version 8

    I used to be able to just move pages back and forth between documents in Acrobat by just clicking and dragging. Now I have version 8 and it won't let me do this.  Version 7 lets me do this by asking me to give it exact typed directions.
    Why isn't my acrobat FRIENDLY anymore?
    I go cry now.

    Adobe Acrobat 8 can move pages. Adobe Reader 8 can't move pages.

    Is this the error you are getting when you are installing AIR 3.0?  Or is this the error you are getting after you've already installed AIR 3.0 and attempting to run AIR applications?  If it's the latter, which applications are you trying to run?  Can you please send us your logs so that we can investigate further?  Thanks!

  • Uninstalled new version, horrible. Installed the older version and now it won't open! HELP WANT MY MUSIC!

    I installed the new version thinking it would be the same, It was horrible! uninstalled it... Installed the older version and now it won't open and when I try it says it can't because the library can't open because it was used on a newer version. Come on! I just want my music! How do I open this and get my music back.
    I put my Ipod in and it still says the same thing, what's going on? Please help me!

    I don't know whom to thank first-- b noir for telling me about the Lorraine fix or Lorraine for figuring out the fix. THE LORRAINE FIX WORKED FOR ME!!! (I feel a little like I am advertising "Hooked on Phonics" with that last line!)
    Thank you doesn't say it strongly enough, but THANK YOU b noir and Lorraine for your help. I was to the boiling point last night and starting to get there tonight. Now I am resting easy and thankful that there is a community of computer users out there who care enough to troubleshoot problems together and work together to figure out a solution--and then to take the time to post and share information.
    I would STRONGLY suggest that anyone who is having the iTunes issues where iTunes just plain won't open at all after downloading the newest version and has a pc with Norton Internet Security 2005 try the "Lorraine Method."
    I am so happy I think I might sing. Or not--I will let my songs on iTunes do the singing for me now that I can again!!!!!!!
    And to those still looking for answers--be patient--I now know how incredibly frustrating this can be and I hope that you all find your solutions very very soon!!

  • Pages 5.5.1: When opening a document created with Pages '09 (Version 4.0) with Pages 5.5.1 the page header and the page footer are deleted. How can this be prevented? Or is this a bug in Pages 5.5.1?

    Pages 5.5.1: When opening a document created with Pages '09 (Version 4.0) with Pages 5.5.1 the page header and the page footer are deleted. How can this be prevented? Or is this a bug in Pages 5.5.1?

    Same problem here (no graphics in header or footer) and the problem has been reported months ago. It is another bug/feature lost when Apple moves from 09 to the iCloud-compatible versions.  Complain to Apple, you may have better chance than me and they may finally listen to their users....

  • Iphone 4 version 5.0 (9A334) won't sync with itunes 10.5 (141)....

    iphone 4 version 5.0 (9A334) won't sync with itunes 10.5 (141)....
    this message keeps popping up when I try to sync my iphone
    "could not be synced because the sync server failed to sync the iphone"
    anyone have this kind of problem?
    googled it, and it's so confusing @.@

    There is definitely a problem with iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5.0 syncing correctly.  I've seen lots of workarounds on the forums here.  Just search for it and see if you can come up with something that works.

  • The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message

    Hello,
    Please help me figure this out. I'm very unhappy at the moment. I'm fustrated and don't have any idea how to revert to the original version before the update was done on iMovie 10. I NEVER hated APPLE until NOW!! I love APPLE products and apps so please help me stay in that mindset. So I worked on some movie projects when I got my macbook pro 6 months ago. I update reguarly. I saw the update prompt and honestly, I did not think I would have ANY issuess with opening my previous files that I created only a few months ago with this updated version.The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message and the iMovie app closes. Last night I saw the file and tried to open it but no luck. Error message came up again. I reboot and turned off my laptop for the evening and tried again just now but nothing!! I need that video. My job depends on it! I worked so hard on this wedding video and now it's lost and won't open. I work another job and don't have much time. I really don't want to start all over again. Please help me. Thanks so much for your assistance.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
    I am running Yosemitie on a  iMac.

  • I upgraded my Itunes to the latest version and now it won't let me view my library with the column browser. Can i get that back?

    i upgraded my Itunes to the latest version and now it won't let me view my library with the column browser. Can i get that back? I tried using the shortcut for it and nothing happens. When I try to do it from the view menu, it shows up as something I can't click on. The new library format is driving me crazy and I just want to get back to the old library view.

    We need to sort out some facts here first:
    •  You cannot be running Mt. Lion on your iMac G5.  What Mac is it?  What is the Model Identifier listed in About This Mac; More Info; Hardware Overview
    •  What is the model of your Epson Scanner?
    •  Have you attempted to scan using Image Capture, located in your Applications folder?
    •  Your Palm Pilot software will only run in Snow Leopard; so depending upon which Mac you have, you will either have to:
    1)  partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it to "dual-boot" when you want to access you Palm software, or
    2)  install Snow Leopard Server (now available from Apple for $20 telephone orders USA & Canda only) into Parallels 8 to run your Palm software in Mt. Lion:
