Reinstall Pages from the App Store??

I had to reinstall the Mac OS and Pages does not start - it thinks its installed. I go to the App Store and it will not let me re-install. How can I force a reinstall of Pages?
Thanks

What version of OSX did you reinstall to and how?
What version of Pages?
How did you install Pages?
What exact message do you get when it won't start?
We can not see any of this and rely on you to tell us.

  • I purchased Pages from the App Store but it wants me to enter a serial number?

    I purchased Pages from the App Store and it installed properly, but now it's asking me for a serial number or use the 30-day trial. I never received a serial number after purhcasing and I don't see anything in my iTunes receipt. Where can I find my serial number?

    This means that at some time you had the iWork ’09 trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • I downloaded pages from the app store and I can use it on my Mac login but it doesn't show up when my wife logs in to her account? Were using the same computer, just different logins.

    No. You need to buy it for your Apple ID and for the other. You will have problems with updates

  • I have 1 iMac, two users (myself and my wife), 2 different Apple ID's, and I want to buy Pages from the App Store so we both can use. Is this possible without having to buy it twice?

    I am wanting to purchase the Pages app from the App Store. I do not want to purchase it 2 times, once for me, and again for my wife. We both share the same iMac, and we both use seperate Apple ID's. Is there a way to purchase it under my user, and have it download to her user as well? I have searched all over the forums for a cut and dry answer to this, to no avail. Any help in the matter would be appreciated, as I am a newbie on the Mac.

  • Reinstalling Lion from the App Store

    MY lion installation did not complete properly and the system seems to hang regularly in multiple programs even finder so I would like to do a complete new install, but I can't download it again from the App Store - Anyone know how to do that ?

    Open App Store and sign in.
    Press and hold your OPTION key while clicking on 'Purchases' at the top of the App Store.
    You should see to the right of your Mac OS X Lion purchase, the 'Install' button available to click.
    Click on it and your download will start.

  • Why can't I download an older version of Pages from the App Store?

    Is there any way to download an older version of Pages? Specifically, version 4.2?
    Upgrading my OS from 10.6.8 is not an option, and I live overseas in a place where I'm completely unable to recieve disks for older iWorks through the mail. This is frustrating... the App should either be compatible or alternatively should keep older versions available, if not on the app store then on the website somewhere. I'm willing to pay Apple for an older version, but have yet to figure out how that's even an option.
    Would love to know if there's a way to get Pages 4.2 that I've missed. Thanks

    Google "Apple iWork '09 Installer".
    Apple seems to have pulled the plug on the manual updaters so you may have to Google those as well.

  • I've bought numbers & pages from the App Store but when I open either I'm being asked to use the iWork trial or buy it - Do I have to buy iWork too, and if so, why does the App Store leet you buy the apps separately if you need iWork in order to use them?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi Jim,
    Following Matt's instructions may be sufficient, but I'd recommend checking Yvan Koenig's post in this thread for a more thorough procedure.

  • How do I reinstall an older version of Aperture from the App Store?

    Hello,
    I have an older Macbook - 13 inch early 2008. It is still running fine on 10.7.5 Lion, but can't update to a later version of OS X, as it is not compatible. I have Aperture 3.4.5, which I purchased from the App Store.
    Following a hard disk problem, I've reinstalled the laptop, used software update to get all the latest patches, and have recovered my files and applications from my Time Machine Backup. Unfortunately, Aperture is no longer able to open files from my Sony Nex camera ("Unsupported Image Format" message") even though it worked before I rebuilt my Mac, and is listed as supported under Aperture 3.4.5. I've done all of the "Repair permissions", "repair database" and "Rebuild Database" things, but it hasn't helped.
    I've tried to fix this by removing Aperture (in case my Time Machine backup version is in some way corrupted) and reinstalled from the App Store, but the App Store won't let me have Aperture anymore, even though I've paid for it, because my system is no longer compatible with the current version, 3.5. I can't see a way of downloading a full copy of the older version compatible with my system. I can see updates for Aperture listed at http://support.apple.com/downloads/#aperture, including Aperture 3.4.5, but these require a copy of Aperture 3.0 or later already installed to update, and even if I run the 3.4.5 update, it tells me it won't work because my copy of Aperture is from the App store.
    Can anyone help me find a way of navigating the App Store or Apple web site to get the copy of Aperture 3.4.5 I have licensed from Apple?
    Many thanks.

    Thanks for your help with this. I've downloaded the latest RAW support updates supported on my machine - V4.09 that seems to contain all of the RAW formats for previous updated including V4.06, which includes the NEX 3N, my camera. After a short while (there seemed to be some sort of background processing ging on in Aperture) it started to allow my NEX 3N photos to be viewed. Some of the thumbnails were corrupted, but if I made a slight edit in each of these files, the thumbnails updated and all was well.
    Prior to this, I raised a call with Apple, because the inability to reinstall software from the App Store that I've purchased from in App Store to a machine that supports OSX 10.7.5 and no later strikes me as a problem. I need to know that if my Time Machine backup fails and I need to reinstall, I've got somewhere I can go.
    The support people at Apple were very helpful, and it feels like they recognise this as a problem, and are working to resolve it behind the scenes. The App Store will not allow me to download the last version that works on my machine at the moment, but it sounds like Apple is thinking about how to do this. In the meantime, they are shipping me a copy of Aperture 3.0 on CD, and sending me a registration code. This will solve my immediate problem.
    This does make me wary about using the App Store for purchases in the future. I don't upgrade my hardware that frequently - I have no real need to as it just keeps working - and so not having physical copies of installation media for when the applications stop supporting my OS is a worry. On the face of it, maintaining prior versions of the software for older machines to download from the App Store seems like a reasonable solution, but they are not there yet, and there is no real commitment for them to do this. Anyone who doesn't back up their Apps in Time Machine (probably the majority of users) could loose them altogether when Apple moves on, and cuts app support for older OS versions.
    Thanks to @léonie and @Frank Cagianno for your help.

  • New hard drive installed on my 2009 mac book. Can I reinstall pages, numbers, etc... from the App Store? I was running Lion.

    New hard drive installed on my 2009 mac book. Can I reinstall pages, numbers, etc... from the App Store? I was running Lion.

    HI Corey ...
    Yes. Make sure you use the same Apple ID.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    If you can't re dowload the apps, launch iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer. Sign out of the iTunes store and try re downloading your apps from the App Store again.

  • I had purchased Pages, Keynote and Numbers for MacPro from the App store. My computer crashed and I had to reinstall everything and they are not appearing in my Purchased. Please help.

    I had purchased Pages, Keynote and Numbers for MacPro from the App store. My computer crashed and I had to reinstall everything and they are not appearing in my Purchased. Please help.

    You should be able to go > App Store > App store (menu) > store > view my account > sign in.    Where do you vary after following this point.   In between ID summary and Settings should be a section marked iTunes in the cloud and directly below but within that section, the message we are seeking.
    I'm not doubting you, just don't see why you have this problem. 

  • Pages downloaded from the App-store refuses to save: Permission denied. How can I download a new one?

    Pages downloaded from the App-store refuses to save: Permission denied. How can I download a new one? Please Advice .

    Is the computer yours, and are you the Administrator or a user with administrator rights? Are you allowed to install software on the computer?
    Check your "purchased" list. Pages should show there, and if it's not installed it should read "install" next to it.
    Have you tried another mac? You can install the purchased software on another Mac by using your AppleID that you purchased the software with on the first mac.

  • I bought an iPad and an iTunes card, I want to buy an application from the Apps store but it only gives me the option of credit card.  How can I buy Pages with my iTunes card to my iPad? thank you

    I bought an iPad and an iTunes card, I want to buy an application from the Apps store but it only gives me the option of credit card.  How can I buy Pages with my iTunes card to my iPad? thank you

    Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
    Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
    Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases!  It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'! 

  • How do you erase and reinstall a hard drive without a disc? I bought this mac book pro under a year ago and am pretty sure i downloaded mountain lion from the app store. Basically Im having startup issues and this is the final step Ive reached

    when I start my laptop it loads a third of the way and shuts down automaticallyI've tried to safe boot, repairing discs and clearing RAM but nothing has worked. basically I've come to the final step of having to a erase my hard drive and reinstall mountain lion however Apple support suggest that I install from a disc however I installed mountain lion from the App Store. can anyone help me go about this?

    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

    Apps that are written for the Mac OS cannot be used on iOS devices, such as the iPad. You can purchase the iOS versions of some of these apps in the iTunes App Store.
