Pages, Numbers, and Keynote Won't Quit

I downloaded Pages, Numbers, and Keynote this weekend... Noticed some odd behavior with all of them.
If I start any of those apps, and then quit them, they appear to stop running... No "light" under the App's icon in the Dock...
However, even if "quit", each of these applications will show up in the Activity Monitor, as well as showing up in the "Force Quit" window.
These apps don't appear to be using CPU cycles, but they do take up some memory...
Is continued backround "running" of these apps a feature, or is something else going on behind the scenes...
(The above screen-grab shows Pages in the Activity Monitor after Pages has been quit).
Anyone else seen this behavior? Thanks for your thoughts...
Bob

Well...a day after the installation it seems that Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are now quitting properly, with nothing running in the background....

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.

Pages, Numbers and Keynote won't open

Trying to use Pages - latest version - on my Mac, but it won't open. Neither will Numbers or Keynote.
Tried to reinstall, but the computer said no go.

Applications that can store documents in iCloud include Preview, TextEdit, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, GarageBand, and some third-party software such as "DayOne," "iA Writer," "MindNode," and perhaps others. If some or all of those applications are suddenly not working well, there may be a problem with iCloud synchronization.
Back up all data.
Open the iCloud preference pane in System Preferences and uncheck the box marked Documents & Data. See whether there's any improvement. If there is, continue.
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. From the folder that opens, move this folder to the Desktop:
Mobile Documents (or any other item with a name beginning that way)
and move this folder to the Trash:
Application Support/Ubiquity
Re-enable Documents & Data, log out, log back in, and test. The folders should be recreated automatically. If the issue is resolved, delete the folder you moved to the Desktop.
If you continue to have the same problems, I suggest you contact iCloud Support.

Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?

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,

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.

If you own the Magic Mouse, I guess that it's a problem with gestures settings.
Thirdly why does Safari always open at the last website ooked at and not at the selected pref Google as the Homepage?
If you are asking about the app opening when you start the machine, you are describing the behavior of the system's feature named Resume.
It's designed to reset the apps in the state in which we quitted them.
On my machine I apply brute force.
I switch off thru a script which delete the Saved Applications State files then issue a Quit command.

Will 128gb of ssd be enough for pages, numbers and keynote documents?

I am going to be buying the MacBook Pro 13" with retina display in the next month or so and I was just wondering whether the 128gb ssd that it has will be enough for Pages, Numbers and Keynote documents. There will be about 30-40 documents on each of those apps. If I do need the extra space I do have the money for the next size up (256gb). On the MacBook I will also have photos on iPhoto that I will be editing. Thanks

You won't have any problem with that amount of documents, unless they are very heavy.
128 GB are enough for most users unless you need to store a lot of files. Respecting to photos, it depends on the amount of photos you want to store, so you will have to check this.
If you get a MacBook Pro with Retina display with 128 GB and you see that you haven't got enough storage, you can return it during the first 14 days of use and get one with 256 GB. Another option is to get an external drive

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.

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.

Any recommendations on how to upload pages, numbers and keynote to my 08 macbook with mac os x 10.5.8

I bought a used macbook recently; when I turned it on, it needed some updates. I do not have Office, but I would like to upload Pages, Numbers and Keynote to be able to work with some of the Office documents.
Can anyone help??

The App Store version of iWork ‘09 programs (Pages, Numbers & Keynote) will only work with 10.7 or 10.8. You can get the Work ’09 DVD which will run on 10.5 or 10.6 on eBay or Amazon.com fairly cheap

What has happened to all my data files in pages, numbers and keynote? they have all disappeared (though i do not yet have ios8)

what could have happened to all my data files in pages, numbers and keynote? they have disappeared - though i'm not using ios8

I have the same problem. For about 1 month ago I extended my iCloud storage account (+20 GB) in order to maintain my backups for iPHONE and iPAD as my account would expire 14/10. In spite of this, I got an email 15/10, which said that iCloud was reduced to 5 GB. 2 hours later I received a new email with comfirmation on the purchase of +20 GB storage plan. However, I only have access to 5 GB on my iPad and iPhone. Called Apple Support but they couldn´t help me. Did you find any solution ?
