Transferring the Pages app to a new computer

I purchased Pages with my macbook in 2010. I just now replaced that computer with a nice new macbook air, and I attempted to transfer the Pages application, along with the rest of iWork, to my new computer. Predictably, this did not work. When I went to open pages it told me that "Pages cannot open because of a problem... it may not work with this version of OsX."
So my question is simply, how can I make pages work? Is there a way to redownload the updated version of Pages without having to pay for it again?

Did you use a DVD to installPages or did you buy from the MacAppStore or did you buy iWork from Apple Store?

Transferring contacts/music/apps etc to new computer from iphone 3GS

Hi
My windows PC has just died and i am wondering how to transfer my iphone data (apps, calendar, music, photos) onto a new laptop (windows 7) into itunes without deleting anything
I have read threads which say how to tansfer itune purchases, but not all of my music has been purchased via itunes. Is there anyway of saving this music or will it be deleted.
Any help would be appreciaited because i could stand to lose 800 songs!

Transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup of your old PC before it died. That should contain everything that was in your iPhone regardless of where it came from. Your backup of your Oulook data will contain the contacts and calendars you synced with the iPhone via iTunes.

Someone else bought an app on the store. I had already purchased the app before on my other computer, so I deleted the app on my new computer that the other person purchased. I now want to download the app again on MY account but...........

Someone else bought an app on the store on my new computer. I had already purchased the app before on my old computer, so I deleted the app on my new computer that the other person purchased. I now want to download the app again through MY account. When I click INSTALL it asks for ID, but it shows up automatically with the other person's ID, so I delete that and enter mine instead. I then click SIGN IN, but then it says "Unknown error", then I click OK, then it says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)". How do I get rid of all info of other people's IDs so I can get the app through my account again?
The app that I'm trying to download actually might have been a pirated app. But I deleted it, so why is it not letting me get it through my account?
Please help!
Thanks

Had to uninstall iWork trial since I bought the pages app and it wouldn't let me print or save. Now the app store says I have pages installed but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it. I'm not very computer savvy and am getting frustrated!

Ooops, guess I didn't need to post everything in the title - sorry! I bought the pages app - but couldn't save or print so with some online searching found that I had to uninstall the iWork trial which had expired. I did that - but now I can't figure out how to re-install the pages app!! The app store says it's installed, but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it. I'm not very computer savvy - and am a first time Mac user and am getting extremely frustrated! I e-mailed some help center and they can't seem to help me either. I would appreciate any help/advice that can fix my problem - thanks in advance!!

OK Apple has stuffed up the demo version upgrade process so the first thing you need to do is get rid of the demo.
That includes getting rid of the files in the system.
The instructions how to do that are here:
Note That where you see / that is the sequence of folders, each nested inside each other.
User/Library/Preferences the com.apple.iwork.Keynote.plist
Means the User (you, the little home icon, whatever you are called on your computer) then the Library folder inside that and then the Preferences folder inside that.
Lion initially hides the System folders from you so you have to go to the Finder > Menu > hold down the option key and click on GO > Library to see it.

I have transferred my itunes library to an external drive. I then attached the external disk to a new computer. I can now access all songs from the new computer. But I can't access playlists. I can still access all songs and playlists on the old computer

If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.
Usually the name of an apple id is based on the email. So knowing that you may have forgotten the Apple ID password.
You can request a new password here http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/

I recently had to switch with my sister from Mac to PC, and I have all my songs, apps, movies,etc. on my iTunes on my mac. How do I transfer the contents of the other library to my new computer?

I really want to transfer all my content of my iTunes library like apps for my iPhone and also music to my new library on my new PC computer. Is there any way that I can do this?

Copy the entire iTunes Media folder in My Documents>My Music>iTunes and put it in the same location on your new computer. Then open iTunes and go to File>Add to library, and select all the stuff there that you want to add to your iTunes.

"I have just transferred my itunes account to a new computer and when i try to sync , I get a 'this ipod is synced with another itunes library ,do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this itunes library"
Correct.
"will answering 'yes' erase what i currently have on my ipod"
Yes.
If you copied everything from your old computer to your new one, as you should always do, then the content will be put right back when you sync.
"i'd like to get an ipad 3, if i cant sort out my account ,I'll get the galaxy note 10.1 !"
OK. We are all itunes users like you. You threat of buying a different device means nothing here.

Have you searched for it using the Spotlight? That's the loop icon on the right side of the upper menu bar.

What is the Proper Way to "Sync My Music & Apps to a New Computer Using ITunes"

What is the Proper Way for Me to "Sync My Music, Pictures & Apps to a New Computer Using ITunes"?
I had to buy a New Computer since my other one went out, but when I log into ITunes with the New Computer using My Apple ID "Nothing is there"...
None of My Previously Purchased Music or Apps are in My ITunes Media Library; so, I any not sure how to Properly Proceed with Syncing?
Any Help & Guidance would be Greatly Appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Don

Sounds like something might be wrong there. Years ago I set up the playlists to sync to my iPhone and 'Everything' for my iPod and I've never needed to change or even check it since, ever.
However, how and why are you 'restoring' the iPod? This is not something you should ever need to do. If you restore back to original settings, then I guess that would throw away your own settings, but as I said, there should be no need to keep doing that. Or at all in fact.

How can I obtain the Pages app which I previously purchased from the App store for Snow Leopard? The only download now available is for Mountain Lion which my computer can't run. Thanks

Try Amazon but look for the iWork suite of software. It's only sold separately as Pages, Keynote, and Numbers from the App Store.

Can i download all the apps on my new computer?

hey,
i have all the adobe apps on my old computer... and i just got a macbook pro and still got 6 months to go with my adobe CC.
can i add them or replace them with the other computer?
thanks

You are allowed to have two working installations with your CC subscription. If you like you can leave the original installation and keep it as a backup. If you prefer not to be sure to sign out of it. You can install on the new machine the same way you did originally... install the CC manager, sign in, install the applications.

Without the iPad connected, open up iTunes on your computer. Go to iTunes/Preferences/Devices and delete the backups that you're absolutely certain do not have the documents. Refer to figure below.
iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "NO" to creating a backup. (You don't want to create a new backup that does not have the docs.) You will then be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad. This time, say "yes."
Repeat all of the above as required until you get the docs.

How can I recover documents that were stores in the pages app?

I have an original iPad. This evening, as I was using it, I got a message that an update was available for pages. I selected "update". It attempted to install the new pages and froze. I connect to iTunes to try to get it back to old version of pages (the new versions won't work on the original iPad) by restoring to back-up. That resulted in deleting the pages app.
Ahhhh!!!! I need my documents! They had been backed up to iTunes and it was recently backed up to iCloud.
Someone please help me figure out how to find my docs!!!
THANK YOU

Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

Is it possible to retrieve deleted items from the Pages App please?

IIs it possible to retrieve deleted items from the Pages App? Thanks

From within the Pages app, no. If you have an iTunes or iCloud backup that would have contained the file, and you are backing up Pages, it could be received via a restore using that backup (this would wipe out any newer data however).
