Revert to Old Version of Pages

Hi,
I'm currently using version 5.0 of Pages and would like to find a way to revert back to an older version. Many of the features I relied on are missing. Is there an easy way to go back to an older version of the program?
Thank you!

You have a couple choices to fall-back on Pages '09. Be sure to export all Pages v5 created documents to Pages '09 format.
App Store downloads can be moved between computers Applications folders
The iWork '09 applications are no longer available from Apple as downloads, or DVD sets.
Move Pages '09 v4.2 or later from an older machine onto your primary Mac.
Move any templates in home/Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/My Templates
iWork '09 DVD installs are a reinstallation on the new Mac, followed immediately with the Apple 9.3 updater.The DVD applications will not work without the specified updater which brings versions to latest releases.
You must not apply the Apple 9.3 updater to applications downloaded from the OS X App Store.

I've managed to get back to Pages 4.3 and delete the downgrade Pages 5, which makes a total mess of any doc prepared with it, but how to I get back to the old version of Pages on my iPad so that I can work while I am away from home.

I've managed to get back to Pages 4.3 on my iMac and delete the downgrade Pages 5, which makes a total mess of photo-rich documents prepared with Facing Pages (most of mine), but how to I get back to the old version of Pages on my iPad so that I can work on sections away from home. At least on my old PC, Word maintained compatability with old versions. Beginning to regret having switched.

Thanks for your help. What is really irritating is that Apple give a big hurray about what they have added as "new" in Pages 5 (most of it pretty useless) without telling you of the myriad things they have deleted. If they had shown the list your gave the link to, I doubt may regular users would risked going to Mavericks with its auto upgrade. My partner got the message in time and is sticking with the earlier operating systems and Pages on Mac and iPad. Lucky girl.
I have found a way to use my iPad to add chapters written while on the move to reports on my iMac Pages 4.3. If I write it on the new Pages on the iMac (don't seem to be able to revert there), the send the report as an email in WORD format (not Pages) and download it in the Text Editor, then cut and paste into the story on the iMac. Hardly elegant but it works.

HT202879 How can I open a file made with old version of Pages (before 09)?

I need to open a file made with old version of Pages (before 09). How can I do this? I only have iworks Pages free with Mac Book Pro.

You need either Pages '09 or the original Pages '08? programs.
With Pages '09 you simply open it and it accurate converts it to Pages '09. Pages 5 will open the Pages '09 version but may alter/damage the file.
With Pages '08 you Export it to Word .doc/.docx with mixed results, then open that in Pages 5 which may alter/damage the file.

How do I revert to old version of itunes

I have downloaded new version of I tunes but it doesn't work properly with downloaded cd audiobooks. I cannot join tracks and mark as audio books. I want to revert to old version of itunes. I have an old ipod and I think the new version does not work properly with it.

The way iTunes 11 treats audiobooks hasn't changed, but you may have to hunt a little for some of the menu options... You may also find Audiobooks on iPods useful.
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store anduntick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
If you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

How do I remove the old version of Pages?

When the new version of Pages arrived the old one never left. After I reboot or shut down my computer I have 2 versions of Pages in the dock. It's easy enough to turn off the old version of Pages, but it keeps coming back and I'd like to remove it completely. Help has been of no help so I need your help to solve this problem. Thanks SamO66

Many in the Pages for Mac community regret having deleted the older Pages ’09 v4.3 application as it retains over 100 features/functionality that are missing in Pages v5+. When you read a Pages ’09 document into Pages v5(.2), the latter will filter out any unsupported feature/functionality from the older Pages document.
I dragged and dropped the explicit Pages.app icons for Pages ’09 (/Application/iWork ’09) and Pages v5(.2) (/Applications) to my Dock. I exclusively use the Pages ’09 application file chooser to open older documents, and a double-click on known newer documents to open them in Pages v5(.2).
The differentiation between the older and newer documents can be done with different custom tag colors created in the Finders preferences. Then you can search in Finder for the custom tag name (e.g. p4, p5) and see only those specific documents.

Dreamweaver template (.dwt) keeps reverting to old version after reopening CS3

I work locally on all files and upload as needed. After chaging template and applying it, I can upload all associated pages just fine. If I close DW and reopen, the old version of the template is there without any changes -- even though I saved the template.
Also, updating the template will change all other web pages except index.html.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Sure. No nested templates to my knowledge -- especially since I only have one template. Look like I have some regions in my index.html that don't match the .dwt -- even though the .dwt was created from the .html. When I tried to update the .html, it really screws up the content. Let's kill the 1st bird first -- why my ,dwt file keeps reverting to an old version. Here is the code for the template. Again, thank you!

IMac intel running 10.9.2 upgraded pages last week, now the machine tells me I need a new version of pages to open documents. Old version of pages is still in the dock, new version is in applications. How do I make this thing work? Thanks

This is frustrating, after going thru the process of updating last week and using pages successfully this machine now tells me the updated version is not the newest. So I went to the app store to buy the new version and it tells me the new version is already installed. Most likely the problem is because the old version is still in the dock. I would think that the upgrade would have taken care of that for me. So how do I get rid of the old version and make the new version my default? Step by step please as I am not Mac literate even thought I've had this machine for over 3 years, it's still a foreign country to me. Thanks SamO66

The icon in the Dock is nothing but an alias pointing to the actual application in the Applications/iWork folder.
Pulling it off the dock really does nothing. Particularly, as you will soon discover, it is the new Pages that is the problem.

Numbers file keeps reverting to old version

I use Numbers (Version 3.5.2) on my MacBook Pro running (Yosemite 10.10.2) and also on my iPad air (running iOS 8.1.3) and iPhone 6 (running iOS 8.1.3). I have a file that I use to keep track of grades that is used across all three devices. In the last month the file keeps reverting back to an old version of the file. After this happens I can go into Numbers on Mac and Select "Revert to..." and select the correct version of the file. I did this yesterday and deliberately reverted to the correct version on the Mac and saved, then opened the iPad, made sure it had the correct version, made a minor change and closed the file. I then opened on the iPhone made sure it was the correct version, made a minor change and saved. I then reopened on the Mac it was the correct version and included the minor changes made on the iPad and iPhone. I saved and then closed the file. Today when I open the file on my Mac, it is back to a version that is over a month old. I again used the "Revert to.." command and was able to get back to the correct version of the file from yesterday. I can't figure out why it keeps reverting to an old version. At first I thought it was pulling in an old version from the iPad or iPhone, but after the experiment yesterday that does not seem likely. Has anyone else had this problem? It is making me seriously question the use of Numbers with documents in the cloud as I can not be certain that the data in the file is correct.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hate iTunes 11. Reverted to old version. Now I get error msg when I open that says The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes but won't open or play songs. HELP!!!!

Hate iTunes 11. Reverted to the old version. Now I get a msg when I click to open iTunes stating, "The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created in a newer version of iTunes" and it will not open. HELP!! How can I revert the library as well?

I hate iTunes 11 too... and I also want to revert to previous version. But Apple seems to be so incredibly customer-friendly these days that is quite deliberately not publishing clear/simple revert instructions. I think it's a disgrace that Apple removed Cover Flow without warning people who are tempted to upgrade. Absolute disgrace. And now we're stuck with this piece of ..

Apps reverting to old versions.

My iPhone 5 automatically updates applications but once they've finished downloading they revert to their old version?
Also my emails will not delete, they keep on re-syncing not matter how many times I put them in the trash. I'm talking thousands of emails from over a year ago.
What could be causing these issues?

Rolling back to previous versions of iOS is not supported.
Regardless, doing so cannot fix a SIM card not supported message.
Try the basic troubleshooting of reset, restart, restore. If none of those resolve the issue, then either the SIM card is bad/failed/not supported or the SIM card reader in the device has failed.

CF7 showing old versions of pages

I have seen a strange problem several times over the last
year or so - the page being shown on the site is suddenly not the
correct version, but an old version from more than a year ago.
The home page
http://www.stavangertravel.com/index.cfm
changes at least 40 times a year, with new events and news items.
Today it is showing a version of the page from early September
2006, even though the files on the server are from 24 October 2007.
This has happened several times, and I noticed last time that
the Recycle bin contained a number of old files - from September
2006 - including 2 ofthe pages I knew I was having problems with. I
emptied the recycle bin, restarted the CF Application service and
everything was fine - until now.
The problem can be cleared by either uploading the files
again, or just by restarting the CF App service.
The big problem is that I have over 1000 pages on this site,
and only by luck will I know when I have a problem.
Any ideas?
Anyone else seen such strange behavior?
I will upload a new version of the page soon.
This last happened at halloween, which seemed appropriate,
but now the joke is wearing thin
John

Well, it happened again - the home page and one of the other
problem pages were back to September 2006 just now.
I have now uploaded the correct versions again.
Perhaps I should make clear - the version I upload is exactly
the same as the one already on the server (i.e. the correct one).
It is a way to make the system start showing the correct page
again.
The other way to do this is to restart the CF App service,
which I don't want to do, if possible.
The problem is not that the files are being overwritten, it
is that the pages being shown by the coldfusion application server
are (sometimes) the wrong ones.
I think the answer to this problem lies in understanding exactly
how Coldfusion MX7 takes pre-compiled files in the web folders and
uses them to display pages. How are they cached? Maybe someone from
Adobe might like to comment?
One other thing I will try is uploading a file that is not
precompiled, just in case that will help narrow it down.
This is not an unimportant abstract issue - the home page now
has prominent links to a ski guide that were not there in September
2006 - it is hurting the business

Since updating firefox keeps freezing on me, how can I revert to old version?

ever since I updated to 3.6.10 firefox keeps freezing on me. Various things will freeze like pop ups on my message board will cause a freeze, or drop down menus on a page will freeze, or just about anything. It's making me miserable so I'd really like to go back to the old version. Everything was fine then. How can I do that.

Same thing was happening to me. I believe it was version 3.6.12 that is causing these problems. I went to oldapps.com and downloaded Firefox 3.5 and it got rid of the problem.

Help! Old Version of Page STUCK in Safari Proxy Server

I have a website that I run. For some reason no matter what I do, there are old versions of my website stuck in the Safari Proxy Server. A year and a half ago my online cart was down, so I put up a message on the website. I STILL get calls almost every day from people who think my online cart is down. I am at my wit's end! How do I tell the proxy server that there is an updated version of my website!?! I have tried embedding code, doing major design changes, but nothing has helped. Anyone?!
(the website is www.bubbleandbee.com)

Greetings,
For some reason no matter what I do, there are old versions of my website stuck in the Safari Proxy Server.
That's a rather vague statement. It would be more helpful if you actually said what you have done so far to correct this problem.
But to my way of thinking, you need to clear the cache of your proxy server, which should be easy to do and it should work.

I need an old version of Pages for my old Mac. How do I buy it?

Hello,
I have a Mac which does not support any OS X newer than 10.6.8, so I need a Pages version compatible with this. But in the store I just find the newest version of pages. How can I get an older version which is supported by my Mac?

You cannot get anything but the latest version via the App store. Best option is to purchase an earlier version of the full iWork suite on disk from Amazon/e-bay (loads there to buy).
iWork 09 should work with your system and is more fully fuctional than the latest version. You will get Keynote and Numbers as well as Pages too.

How can I get my old version of pages back?

I hate the new pages app I have one my new rebuilt Mac Airbook, 10.9.5. (Lion). I am exporting to 09 but really hate it. Cannot do my work. I will not upgrade to the new OS. TOO MANY Problems. Why did apple do this to us? They didn't mention these (problems?) in the specs. Help is inaccurate also. Lousy testing you guys/gals did. Can I copy the old pages off my mac pro? I tend to think it is not something that is allowed or it just won't work in this os.

Install from the iWork '09 disk and make sure you upgrade to v4.3.
Also export any Pages 5.2 documents to Pages '09 format (label them as you go so you know what they are).
You can simply drag the software to the trash after you have saved your documents.
