Pages version is too old!

I want to open a pages document.  It says my version for pages is 4. something.  And it is too old to open document.  When I go to the App store, it says it is already downloaded and purchased.  I tried putting it in trash and then downloading it again and it does not give me the newer version.  We paid for it recently.What can I do?

You now have two versions of Pages installed on your Mac. Both use the .pages document extension, and the document formats are incompatible.
Pages v5+ is in /Applications, and is the default application when you double-click a .pages documentDrag this application icon to your Dock and drop it there.
Pages ’09 v4+ is in /Applications/iWork ’09. It was put/left there by the Pages v5 installation processDrag this application icon to your Dock, adjacent to the Pages ’09 icon, and drop it.
If you open a Pages ’09 v4 document in Pages v5, it will be transformed into the new, .pages document format that is incompatible with the earlier Pages version. The same forced incompatibility occurs if you are using iCloud and share your documents with Pages v2.2.1 on IOS 7, or Pages for iCloud beta.
You should launch Pages ’09 v4+ and use its file chooser to select v4 documents. Also, if you close a Pages ’09 v4+ document, but the application remains running — double-clicking a document that was touched by Pages v5 — will cause the warning dialog about needing a newer version of Pages.

  • FRM-92160: Fatal error: web client version is too old

    Hi All,
    We have upgrade the forms and reports from version  from 11.1.2.0.0 to 11.1.2.1.0 so the existing applet (11.1.2.0) still there the cache casing the the "FRM-92160: Fatal error: web client version is too old" issue (The new applet version is 11.1.2.1). but this can be resolved by clearing the java cache.
    As the the end user count is huge, is there any other possible way to get the cache clear when they access the URL for the first time.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi
    maybe you can change default setting in client (user) java option .
    path like ( control panel > java > General > temporary internet files > setting button > unchecked keep temporary file )

  • HT4962 how i get ios 5 on my ipod 3g becuase the version is too old 4.2.1

    how i get ios 5 on my ipod 3g becuase the version is too old 4.2.1

    Very likely since yu really have a 2G iPod. Those only go to 4.2.1. If your is an 8 or 16 GB one it is a 2G since Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. A 32 GB one can be either. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_late2009
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • Since updating to Maverick, the new version on Pages states that previous Pages documents are too old to load? Is there a work-around?

  • Pages document is too old to open???

    I bought a new Macbook Air and loaded Pages 5.01 which i think is latest version (sometimes called 09 (????) ). When I attempt to open a Pages document created in an older version of Pages I get an error message saying that the document can't be opened because it is too old. It says I should save it in Pages 09 first. Great advice since it will not open in 09 so that I can save it.  It was created and saved in Pages 08 v 3.03 . Anyone have any ideas?

    Pages 5 is the newest version, sometimes referred to as iWork 2013. The new versions cannot open any iWork '08 or earlier documents or templates. You will get an error saying to open the files in iWork '09 then open them in the new version. I suggest that you buy a retail copy of iWork '09 from a third party such as Amazon or eBay & then update to the new iWork apps in the Mac App Store. You might check this link for the iWork '09 trial. I have no idea if it is still available.

  • Absurdity of Pages documents being 'too old'

    I understand the need for obsolescence -- whether planned or necessary -- and I'm even willing to buy again new versions of software that were perfectly good the way they were. Progress and all.
    But to have my brand-new, beautiful iMac tell me that my Pages documents from 2011 are 'too old' and can't be read anymore by the iMac's Pages is simply absurd.
    And the solutions offered -- OSX 9.2 users should open the 'too old' documents in Preview and cut-and-paste; or save them in Pages 9 first (although Pages 9 can't be found or downloaded anymore); or buy from a third party vendor a copy of Pages 9!! -- just seem ludicrous and unacceptable workarounds.
    This isn't even treated like a 'known issue.'  At which Cupertino meeting did someone say 'but the new Pages won't recognize old Pages documents,' and someone higher up responded, 'that will be fine.'  Really??
    Again, I understand we don't live in an eight-track world anymore and the roads must roll, but for all the games and gestures, the fact remains that words, text and writing remain fundamental to the computing experience.  To think that long manuscripts, detailed memos, form letters, and all manners of written history on Pages can no longer be accessed because they are 'too old' is completely unacceptable.
    Sadly, programmers too often treat text like an 'object' -- something to be picked up and moved, rather than a living, breathing piece of digital 'code' that can be shaped and reshaped by the writer within the object itself.
    Apple is not the only culprit: The new Microsoft Office can't read Pages either, as this insane format and upgrade war rages on.
    So yes, I know there are ways around this ridiculous situation, but how does it exist to begin with?  How can Apple's Support Forum staff reply with the suggestion we go to Amazon and buy Pages 9 there??
    Yes, upgrading to a new computer or operating system often means discarding older, comfortable programs. (I will miss the older 'Power PC' software, but progress is progress).  But text -- the written word -- is the most basic software that is. How could a new version of Pages not 'recognize' older versions of Pages?
    It is ridiculous and an affront to millions of Apple users who stick with the company -- this is my fifth major Apple computer, not counting our iPads, iPhones and such -- but the trust I've built up with the company has never been so shaken.  How could this not be fixed, or even recognized as a problem?

    How can Apple's Support Forum staff reply with the suggestion
    Did you contact Apple support directly? Just as an FYI, these forums are user to user only - we're just fellow users volunteering our time here.
    As for Pages: when I installed the new Pages version, my older version remained intact. I have two separate versions installed; I found that the default was to open anything with the new version which I changed in the Ger Info window (back to the old one). I also found that the new version lacks several functionalities, so I am ignoring it. I will keep using the older version. Unfortunately, if you have a brand new Mac, you do not have the older version installed - how about using your iWork install DVD from your previous Mac to install the older version?

  • How can I rollback from Yosemite to Lion? I need to do this as I purchased a newer iMac and I have the old 17" iMac HD that I want to get the data migrated from. When I start the Migration Assistant it tells me that the OS X version is too old. Help!

    I have purchased a newer mid 2011 iMac for my wife to replace her dead 17"iMac from 2006. It was running Snow Leopard. The new iMac has Yosemite and when I go into Migration Assistant it tells me that the OS X is too old, implying that I cannot get the data from it. How can I migrate this data to the new iMac? I have the hard drive removed and in an external enclosure connected to the new iMac.
    Thanks,
    Bill Stratman

    Since any OS since Lion does not support Rosetta or PPC applications, you may want to check her apps for compatibility.
    Have you tried to follow all the instructions here:
    OS X Yosemite: Transfer your info from a computer or storage device
    Also, as a general note: when you got the 2011 iMac did it have the original OS installed as required by the SLA? The seller is to remove any OS version obtained at the app store since the license is not transferable - did he do that? If not, as the OS download is tied to the Apple ID used to obtain it, you will not be able to update apps or reinstall the OS, so may I suggest you do this step now before you start porting over all the files. Use Internet Recovery: Hold Command + Option + R while restarting/rebooting until you see a spinning globe and a progress bar. After 2 - 10 minutes, you'll be connected to Apple's servers and see a Utilities window. Go to Disk Utility and choose erase your drive; once finished, go back to the window and choose to reinstall OS X. This should install a fresh original OS version which you can then update and tie to your wife's Apple ID.

    You should also update your profile unless you are using 10.5.0, which may be part of the problem, if true.

  • ITune version is too old for ipad restore and other prblem.

    Hi,
    1) I just got a replaced ipad from Apple store due to power problem.
    When I plug into my PC, I tried to restore it to my old ipad setting, but it said the ipad OS is too old (V3.2.2) for that.
    So I can only try to set it up as "New" and hope to update the OS after that.
    Is there a way to update the ipad OS without PC ?
    2) Even after picking as "New" ipad, the syncing and "backing up" seems to take very long and hanging without progress.
       and eventually, it say it failed and ask me to disconnect ipad and re-connect it again.
    After I re-connect it, it still noting happen and the system is not set.
    Dose any one any idea what may happen ?
    I have the latest iTune in PC.
    Thanks

  • Pages 08 docs 'too old' to open in Pages 5.

    It tells me to first save them in Pages 09 but I don't have it!
    What's more, I can no longer get it because Pages 5 has replaced it in the App Store!
    A bit confused. Any ideas? I'm willing to buy Pages 09, even though that's ridiculous, but how?

    Same problem here. A temporary fix is to export Pages 08 documents as Word files, and then open the Word versions in Pages 5.
    I saw an Apple genius about this problem  and she gave me Pages 09 at no charge, but also said there's no solution, presently, except to do as the warning message says - save them in 09 first and then reopen them into Pages 5. To my knowledge, there's no way to convert them en masse, so it has to be done individually.

  • My Ipod 5 broke a while ago and I just managed to get a new one. However, when I tried to do a backup to configure it, a window popped up saying it wasn't possible because this devide's iOS version is too old for this backup... what do I do??

    How can I do a backup now if I can't even access this new device to update its iOS version? And if I just select the option of configuring it as a new Ipod so I can update it, will it still be possible for me to download the previous device's backup on it later? I'd hate to lose everything.

    That error message means that your new iPod is not fully updated. Update the new iPod and then restore from the backup of your old iPod.

  • I have Mac OS 10.4.11: A number of times you aks me to uppgrade, but always my version is too old för your uppgrade version. This time, you never warned, so I thought that this version of Firefox can deal with my old Mac OS version.

    So I downloaded the newest version and replaced the older one. And consequently I cant open Firefox in this version. Please tell me what version I shall download! And give me a site to find it on!

    You are unfortunately out of luck with an Intel Mac and OS X 10.4.11<br />
    Best would be to update to OS X 10.5 or later if you want to use Firefox 4 and later versions (current is 8.0).<br />
    There is a Firefox 8 compatible third-party version TenFourFox from www.floodgap.com for a PowerPC Mac, but no alternative for an Intel Mac with Mac OS X 10.4.
    Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
