Round in circles

I use both a Mac and iPad, (also use iPhone but not for these apps) on both Numbers and Pages are installed and they both work on my iPad.  But on my Mac  OSX 10.9.3,  when I come to use either they state latest version needs installing, so I go to App store and there it said they are installed.  I am going round in circles, this is a recent issue since the latest versions of them both have been released.  Any ideas??

Hi Jam Man,
The new versions of Pages and Numbers were installed in your Applications folder. They did not replace the iWork '09 apps, nor did they replace the icons on your Dock. Those icons point to the older versions which were moved to a new folder called iWork '09 within your Applications folder. It seems you are launching an '09 app and trying to open a Numbers 3 or a Pages 5 document. Hence the message to install the new versions.
Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6991
The trick is to drag icons for both versions to your Dock. Right click or control click on each and Options > Keep in Dock. That puts you in charge of which version you launch.
Here is a screen shot of both Numbers icons on my Dock.
Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) on the left with a three column graph.
Numbers 3.2 on the right with a four column graph.
Both versions will run happily together. Just be sure which version is opening your document.
Instead of double clicking the document, run whichever version of Numbers/Pages/Keynote suits and use File > Open.
Regards,
Ian.

  • Why am I forced to go round in circles?Why is nothing simple in computerland.I have an ICloud icon or is it an Apps installed on my PC and would like to use Icloud to store photos. But can I access? NO. I have set up an ID this was rejected " No account"

    Round & round in circles I go trying to understand the logic behind the variuos stages of trying to get to grips with (I thought) a connection to Icloud for storing my photos & perhaps other things. Boy, was I wrong. I have installed on my PC anIcloud icon or is it an APP which I have tried to log on to. I set up an ID & password but this dosn't work as I do not have an account. When I tried to access this the caption said not recognised altho my name appeared at the heading. Am I going mad?? Can any one explain how to successfully get into the Icloud for storage?? PLEASE HELP

    Why don't you explain what you want and what is happening without all the extraneous 'detail'

    Perhaps that email you're waiting for was blocked as spam or is in your junk folder.  Something like that.

  • Time Capsule With Windows 7 Please Help Going Round in Circles!

    Hi
    have just got a 1Tb time capsule for Xmas. I have a 13" Macbook unibody and have installed the time machine and airport utility through this, thinking apple computer + apple time capsule will be easier. All went well and the Macbook sees the Drive and has backed itself up nicely. So very pleased.
    Then the problem i have a windows 7 machine and went off and installed the airport utility on the machine. All went fine, but i cant see the HDD, i can see it in network places but all i can do is read it, i can't write to it from my windows machine. Have looked at loads of posts about mapping drives making sure latest firmware (7.5) etc but am totally lost as i read so many different things that i just ended up going round in circles!
    What i wanted to do was put all my media, documents and pics on the TC and allow both machines to share from it and use it. But no matter what i try it seems i can only write to it from the mac. I have seen in the airport utility on the windows machine under disks (after selecting manual setup)> file sharing that the secure shared disks is set to "with device password", now i have the passwords, i just cant seem to see where i can see that drive in windows and where to enter the password!!! Should that be set to something else? File sharing is enabled.I assumed once i had installed the airport utility on the windows machine the HDD would just pop up in my computer or something like it popped up easily on the mac! Or am i being stupid and it doesnt work like that?
    The windows machine is connected via ethernet and the mac is wireless.
    Please can someone help as its driving me mad and i just cant seem to figure it out. Am not that computer savvy when it comes to things like this and am probably missing something really stupid but you know what its like when you have stared at something for hours. Any help would be most appreciated or SIMPLE guide or something
    Many thanks in advance and happy Xmas to you all

    Just an update to the above i can now no longer see the time capsule in network places!! All i have done is retstarted!!! I can still see the time capsule from my mac and access it!!!

  • BrowserLab login NOT WORKING CORRECTLY - going round in circles

    Hi, I tried, as normal to log into Browser Lab and got the new "sign into CS Live and CS5" thingy, which then sent me round in a big CIRCLE. Ending up with not getting onto Browser Lab, but being asked again if I want to sign up for CS Live. Have I broken it?
    Yup, just tried again, going round in circles. Somebody broke it, tsk tsk. Any ideas ?

    I can't get into BrowserLab either.  I've used it several times since getting CS5, but over the past week or two, every time I try I just get the loading bar.
    In Safari, I can't even get to the landing page--i.e. the one with the big red "Try BrowserLab" button (http://www.adobe.com/go/browserlab_cslive).  That gives me the same fullscreen gray page with the loading bar in the middle.  Oddly, there doesn't seem to be an option on the Adobe site to log out and then log back in so I can retrace my steps through the sign-up process as you suggest.  In Firefox, the landing page appears, but when I click "Try BrowserLab" I get the same loading bar, taunting me.
    In Dreamweaver, I click the CS Live button up top and it tells me "The application is not connected to the internet."  Is there a particular way I need to connect Dreamweaver to use CS Live/BrowserLab?  I connect using FTP just fine and upload/download files all day.  Don't use a proxy.
    Looking forward to using CS Live once again.  It was a cool feature, the few times I was able to use it.
    Thanks,

  • Help! Some of my photos in iPhoto have a big round white circle with an exclaimation mark in it. Can you help me?

    Some of my photos are opening and then immediately showing a big round white circle with a black exclaimation mark in the center. What the heck is this and how do I get rid of it? Help Joy

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iphoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • TS1292 I'm trying to activate my itunes gift card but it keeps saying invalid code. When I follow the iTunes support it keeps taking me round in circles to the same page. What do I do?

    I'm trying to activate my itunes gift card but it keeps saying invalid code. When I follow the iTunes support it keeps taking me round in circles to the same page. What do I do?

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

    That's a Micrisoft product, not an Apple one, so you'll probably do better to post in the MS user-to-user forums here:
    Office for Mac forums
    Be sure to tell them which version of Office:Mac you have.

    Are you using a Mac or PC?  If it's a PC, have you tried changing the iPod's drive letter or plugging the iPod into a different high powered USB 2.0 port?

  • HT1937 do apple sell the codes to unlock your phone? if so how much?  ive been going round in circles on here now t, thanks

    do apple sell the codes to unlock your phone? if so how much?  ive been going round in circles on here now t, thanks

    when you buy a sim locked phone you don't pay the full price of the phone
    the carrrier pay most of the price because you haveing your phone locked to their network for a period of time make it possible for them to make up for the loss of them paying most of the price of the phone
    if the phone manufactor went back on their sim lock and sold unlocks on the side they would be in violation of that agreement between the phone manufactor and the carrier and would be sued for alot! of money

    after upgrading my iphone4 to ios7.04, the 'restore' in itunes seems to be going round in circles resulting in the iphone wanting to continually 'restore' every time. Whats happening here?

    Hello Filbert,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone wanting to continually restore.  I found an article with steps to address the issue you described:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please try to troubleshoot security software issues.

I happy here - I just want mainstage 2 for a live project. I'm going round in circles on the Apple site. Can anyone help with how to buy a copy of version 2?

    Neither MS2 or MS 3 are "compatable" with GB: the majority of the patches use the synth and FX plugs that are built in to MS and not available in any other program.
    That said, you should be able to use the Sampler files that are included with the JamPack content.
