Pages Update?

I bought my first Mac in 2011, and currently have Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). I bought Pages around that same timd (it's version 09', 4.1). When I open Pages, it often prompts me to update my version. When I try to update, it looks like I have to purchase again? Do I have to buy Mountain Lion, and then purchase Pages again, in order to get the latest version? I am seriously trying to figure this out myself...but I'm also still trying to figure out all things Mac! If I do need to purchase both, I have heard that you must back up your computer before upgrading to Mountain Lion... how do I accomplish that and keep my Mac safe and ready for ML? I have a couple questions bundled into this topic, but hoping to kill a few birds with one stone? I'd really really appreciate any guidance?? Thank you in advance!!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Did you purchase Pages in the App Store or in a DVD? If you purchased Pages in the App Store, see if you have Pages as a hidden purchase, so you have to unhide it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
If you purchased Pages in a DVD, download iWork 9.3 from Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563

I have downloaded the latest pages update on my iPad, but my iMac still has Pages version 4.3, and I cannot find out how to update it on my desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open in Pages. I get a message that it can't be opened because the version is too old. I sent the document as a PDF and it worked. But I want to be able to use Pages back and forth. HOw do I update the Pages version on my desktop iMac?

The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

Since Pages update, I am no longer able to save my documents in Word. Is there a way to do it?

Since Pages update, I am no longer able to save my documents in Word. Is there a way to do this?

Are you using Pages 5.2 on your Mac or Pages on your iPad, I ask because of your profile?
If it is Pages 5.2 on your Mac, use the Export option.

VB code for fitting graphics, deleting pages, updating TOC

Thanks again to all who helped me to find the object model info and other specifics I needed for completing my VB project. I'm not sure if this will be of any use to those who helped me, but at least I can "pay it forward".
The following code snippets are from my live project, with a bunch of ancillary code stripped away. I think I included everything needed for these three bits of functionality (fit graphics proportionally to frames, delete pages, update TOC), but if I accidentally left out something important, let me know (respond to this thread, as I'm not able to monitor all the threads). Note that in some cases, the code expects values in variables to be set outside of this code. I'll trust that anyone using this code can do that, and I've noted where this takes place.
My document uses only single pages, not facing-page spreads, so code referencing spreads works for me--but if you're using actual spreads, you may need to change the code to reference pages instead of spreads. Please bear in mind, I'm pretty new to ID, so if I misunderstood how pages and spreads (or anything else) work, please be kind. It's working for me, and hopefully will for others.
Be advised that deleting spreads (and possibly even fitting graphics) with LOCKED content (in the case of deleting, if ANYTHING on the page is locked) will cause InDesign to CRASH. If you have locked content on your pages, unlock it first either manually or through code (I have code for that as well, if anyone needs it).
The code for deleting spreads allows you to specify the spreads to delete by LABEL. I haven't figured out (anyone?) how to set labels through ID itself, but I was able to do it in code.
Lastly, please be advised that the forum may not properly indent or format the code. If it doesn't look pretty, it's not my doing. :)
VB Code follows:
Dim InDesign As Object
Dim InDesignDocument As Object
Dim LinkCt As Integer
Dim SpreadsCt As Integer
Dim PageLabel As String
Dim TOCStylesCt As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim p As Integer
'Create an InDesign object reference and open the InDesign
'document specified by DocumentFilespec. Note that if InDesign
'is and the selected document are already open, the in-memory
'copies will be used.
Set InDesign = CreateObject("Indesign.Application.CS3")
Set InDesignDocument = InDesign.Open(DocumentFilespec)
'Loop through all linked graphic frames and fill
'frame proportionally.
LinkCt = CInt(InDesignDocument.Links.Count)
For i = 1 To LinkCt
InDesignDocument.Links(i).Parent.Fit 1718185072
Next i
'This code deletes selected spreads (or pages if not using facing
'pages). It expects each spread to have a label, and it expects
'an array DeletePages to contain a list of the labels for pages
'to be deleted. DeletePagesCt is a count of the total number of
'items in the DeletePages array
For i = 1 To DeletePagesCt
SpreadsCt = InDesignDocument.Spreads.Count
For p = 1 To SpreadsCt
PageLabel = Trim(InDesignDocument.Spreads(p).Label)
If PageLabel <> "" And DeletePages(i) = PageLabel Then
InDesignDocument.Spreads(p).Delete
Exit For
End If
Next p
Next i
'This code updates the Table of Contents for a given TOC Style Name
'(ExpectedTOCStyleName).
TOCStylesCt = CInt(InDesignDocument.TOCStyles.Count)
For i = 1 To TOCStylesCt
If InDesignDocument.TOCStyles.Item(i) = ExpectedTOCStyleName Then
InDesignDocument.CreateTOC InDesignDocument.TOCStyles.Item(i), True
Exit For
End If
Next i

If I understand your question correctly that you want to know how to give an object in InDesign a Script Label (not using a script), then below is how (I needed to do it for the templates I'm using in the current project I'm doing using VBscript). Hope I was able to help some one else for a change. :-)
Window > Automation > Script Label
Select the Object
Enter the text in the Script Label box

HT201380 Yesterday this was automatically installed. Today I can't access a document in Pages. A prompt says I need a Pages update. But the next screen tests for updates and informs me everything is up to date. What's up?

Yesterday this was automatically installed. Today I can't access a document in Pages. A prompt says I need a Pages update. But the next screen tests for updates and informs me everything is up to date. What's up?

It's highly unlikely that the Pages update problem has anything to do with the ARD client update, since the client is not involved in any way with Software Update. I'd suggest asking for assistance with the update problem in the forum appropriate for your version of Mac OS X.
Regards.

Hi, App Store tells me I have installed the latest Pages update, yet it will not open Pages docs created on other machines that DO have the latest version . Any tips?

Hi
Pages 5.0 and 10.9.
While App Store tells me there is no update avalable to Pages, which it says was installed Nov. 4, its the old Avatar/logo thingo and, as I say, it will not open the Pages docs created on my MacBook, which definiitely does have the new Pages running smoothly.
cheers

I have many problems with my mail since I moved to mavericks. The filter is very sensitive, read mail appears as unread, I can't drag mail to the folders and more. I can't update the mail program as directed on this page, update says my system is updated

I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
Disk Utility can verify my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
Good luck!

Window error when publishing Muse change, can't pubish page update

Window error when publishing Muse change, can't pubish page update. Any suggestions?
It happens after I updated my website payment page with a new Paypal html. That html is below with x's put in to the code. Why doesn't Muse or Windows like this code in Muse?
<script type="text/javascript" data-pp-pubid="9xxxxx6cec" data-pp-placementtype="540x200"> (function (d, t) {

"No pages updated" error message with v11.1.2.1.x SmartView

All,
One of our users with v11.1.2.1.00 (build 271) of SmartView has a workbook with a number of worksheets set up to retrieve from a v9.3.x HFM application.
Upon connecting his workbook (note that the workbook in question has some external links which I chose NOT to update\refresh) to the v9.x HFM application in MS Excel 2003 SP3, the user selects Smart View > Data > Refresh All Worksheets and a error dialog box with the "No pages updated" message gets displayed. Upon clicking on the [OK] button on the error dialog box in question, SmartView still cycles through all worksheets in the workbook and refreshes them one at a time without any further error\warning\other messages.
In an attempt to narrow down what worksheet(s) cause(s) this error message, I have tried to refresh each worksheet individually (ie, cycling through each worksheet and selecting Smart View > Refresh against each of them) and they all worked fine.
As this message is appearing in an error dialog box, the user is reluctant to have his PC upgraded to v11.1.2.1.00 (Build 271) SmartView on the basis that there must be something wrong with the add-in, etc.
I have searched the Oracle KB and the SmartView forum for this error message but in vain.
I was wondering if anyone had encountered this error message and whether they had the opportunity to resolve it and how.
Thanks in advance,
JBM

Try pressing the "esc" key when you get the error message.
If that doesn't work try trashing the preferences like this:-

Is this the first time you have tried to open FCE or has it worked OK in the past?

Does the Pages update include linking text boxes?

Does the Pages update include linking text boxes? This was a great feature in the previous iWork: Pages version.

I agree. The latest version of Pages is marketed as a huge leap forward, and indeed it probably is...
How so? It has a new coat of paint, Apple sells it as "New" and everyone thinks it is an "improvement"?
How on earth can you not notice or ignore what is so obviously wrong with it?

ADF partial page updates fails after changing the JSESSIONID name

Hi All.
I'm using Human Task WorkFlow (11g, wls 10.3.4).
I changed session-descriptor to WORKLISTAPPSESSIONID of woklistapp application and my deployed TaskFlow.
After that ajax partial pages updates fails with java.lang.NullpointerExpcetion in the log.
I think ajax based code does not use session-descriptor element (in the weblogic.xml) to determine the session id cookie name.
And i cant find where and what i have to modify?
Guys, please, help.

I downloaded the recent Pages update but now I can not open some documents done in the past year. I get an error saying that I need to download a newer version of Pages. I am running version 4.3. Do I have to purchase an update of Pages?

You are not on Mountain Lion anymore, right? You are on Mavericks and have downloaded Pages 5 and then created docuemnts in it which can't be opened in Pages 09.
No, you don't have to buy a newer Pages but you have to be particular about which version you use.

How can I permanently disable automatic page updates?

When I log into my Yahoo e-mail I get the following message:If you are using a screen reader and having problems using Mail, it might help to disable automatic page updates. Please note, this will also disable chat and text messaging within Yahoo! Mail. You can toggle automatic updates on and off using the link below. (Disable automatic page updates.) How can I permanently disable this in Firefox. I don't have these issues with IE8.

I have this same problem and it occurs with other websites (like ESPN.com) too. Only I don't get the option of disabling automatic page updates on other websites. I disabled and reinstalled Mozilla and it went away for a short while. About two weeks later the same problem popped back up.

Please help pages update stuck in Waiting

Pleas help need to continue the download of pages upgrade because all of the documents i have important documents in there and if I erase the app all the info will erase, and I do not want that to happen.

Did you store the Pages documents in iCloud? If so, they will be preserved.
The Pages update is very large (something like 110MB). I suggest whenever you update the Pages app in the future, use iTunes on your computer to download the update, then sync your iPad to your computer.
