Updating Pages, Numbers and Keynote in OS X Yosemite

I have a mid 2009 white MacBook, on which I have just installed OXS Yosemite.  I am prompted to update Pages, Numbers and Keynote in the Mac App store.  When I try to do this (also when I try to update via software update notifications), I am then told they can't update because they were not purchased with this Apple ID.  I presume I set up my Apple ID after I'd purchased this MacBook with iWork preinstalled.  I'd even be happy to repurchase these apps, but the app store won't let me because it just says 'update' instead of giving me a price.  Any thoughts?

Here is a link to App Store Support. Apple iWork applications were never preinstalled on Apple hardware prior to 2014. This was a separate purchase, either earlier on via iWork '09 DVD, or later by OS X App Store purchase. Your preinstalled comment suggests to me that your Mac was pre-owned, and someone else installed iWork '09 applications using their Apple ID — which would block you from updating through your own Apple ID.
The iWork ’09 applications that are currently installed have considerably more functionality than the new (rewritten) applications that prompt those update notices. You do not have to update to Pages v5.5.1, Numbers 3.5, and Keynote 6.5. You should however, update the iWork '09 applications via the Apple iWork 9.3 updater.
If you want to disable the nagging update to newer software messages in Yosemite, I suggest you visit System Preferences > App Store. Check Install system data files and security updates, uncheck Download newly available updates in the background, and then uncheck Automatically check for updates.

  • Can't update pages, numbers, and keynote!

    This is weird: I just upgraded my MacBook Pro from Mountain Lion to Yosemite.
    and all the three apps didn't upgraded: pages, numbers, and keynote.
    when I go to the app store and click on update they said:
    This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
    I tried also with my brother apple ID I got the same thing!!!
    does anyone can help me please?
    or got the same problem??

    Unfortunately she Accepted those apps into her Apple ID before you could and they now belong to her. Her Apple ID is now encoded into those copies on your Mac. She would be the only one to redownload them and to update them. To change that will require a big mess.

  • I bought my macbook air yesterday. Now can't update pages numbers and keynote

    My daughter put her apple id at some stage and even though I am logged into the app store as myself, when I go to update Numbers, Pages and Keynote, her id comes up in the box to log in but you can not highlight or delete her email address to put mine in.
    I can't find anywhere to change this or delete her information.

  • Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?

  • I got the new update for my macbook air and know it is saying that i have to pay for pages, numbers, and keynote and it said that it was free before i did the update

    I got the new update for my macbook air and know it is saying that i have to pay for pages, numbers, and keynote and it said that it was free before i did the update.Can somebody please help... I need pages for a school report.

    If you had the previous version of those apps on your machine then the upgrade is free.
    If you didn't have them installed you must purchase them.

  • Pages, Numbers and Keynote won't update.  App Store says update was applied, but when I open Pages/Number/Keynote, the version of  it shows the old version.

    Pages, Numbers and Keynote won't update.  App Store says update was applied, but when I open Pages/Number/Keynote, the version of  it shows the old version.

    When you updated, the old version remained on your Mac, in a subfolder within Applications named iWork '09.  Any icons you have on the Dock still point to that old version.  Try opening the Numbers that is located in your main Applications folder, not the one in the subfolder. If that works, then drag that one to the Dock.

  • HT5051 iCloud updates for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote?

    When will the option to save to iCloud in pages, numbers, and keynote appear? As of 8/16 I still have the option to save to iDisk, it then I'm informed that iDisk is discontinued and I have a button that sends me here.

    The option to save in Pages, Numbers and Keynotes has been around for some time now. It happens automatically on the iPad. There is no "Save to iCloud" option in the apps themselves. You turn it on in the settings.
    I have Pages on my iPad and every document that I create or edit on the iPad - is available to me in my iCloud.com account. Did you turn on use iCloud in all three apps? You have to turn on Use iCloud in the settings for those apps. Settings>Pages>Use iCloud>On.

  • Any recommendations on how to upload pages, numbers and keynote to my 08 macbook with mac os x 10.5.8

    I bought a used macbook recently; when I turned it on, it needed some updates. I do not have Office, but I would like to upload Pages, Numbers and Keynote to be able to work with some of the Office documents.
    Can anyone help??

    The App Store version of iWork ‘09 programs (Pages, Numbers & Keynote) will only work with 10.7 or 10.8. You can get the Work ’09 DVD which will run on 10.5 or 10.6  on eBay or Amazon.com fairly cheap

  • How can I recover the documents I had in Pages, Numbers and Keynote?

    I have an iPad that couldn't be updated because my laptop was an old one. Recently, I bought a new laptop and tried to updated my iPad plugging to the laptop. The problem was that the documents I had in Pages, Numbers and Keynote as well as the PDF files in iBooks have disappeared. I just checked the size of those apps and compared it to the one that Finder says those have on my computer and it looks as if the files were there. I have tried to access them but the type of file is .ipa and I have no idea on how to open them. Is it possible to recover those files? If so, how can I do it?

    I had to restore my iPad earlier tonight. Some of my apps, docs...including numbers and keynote did not transfer to my iPad. I thought of how I transfer music to my iPhone (double tap and slide to device)  and low and b, you can transfer apps the same way. However, I lost a lot of data in both numbers and keynote...I too would like to know how I can restore my files. If not, work, time and energy down the drain!

  • IOS Pages, Numbers and Keynote do not show my iCloud Documents

    Well, I have and iMac, a MBP and a 3rd gen. iPad. I set up my iCloud account many months ago and everything was fine until I updated my iPad to iOS 6.
    Now, neither Pages, Keynote nor Number show my iCloud documents, although they do appear in mi iMac and MPB.
    I have turned off and on the "Documents and data" option in the iPad's iCloud settings and the "Use iCloud" in the Pages', Numbers' and Keynote settings.
    The strangest thing is this: When I go to Settings - iCloud - Storage, I can see all my documents, but they would never show up in the application.
    Yes, I know, I could use Dropbox, but come on Apple!!! This is why I use this apps.

  • Pages, Numbers, and Keynote

    I recently updated my iPhone to iOS 8 and while I was doing this I noticed I could get Pages, Numbers, and Keynote for free on my phone. I remember they were supposed to be free on my macbook pro when I bought it but I never downloaded them when I got the computer and now I see that they are all 19.99. Why are they not free for the computer anymore? Since I downloaded them to my phone will they transfer to my mac when I sync? I'm a little afraid to sync and lose them. I know that may sound silly. Does anyone have insight on any of this? Thanks for any help you can give.

    iOS apps will not run on a Mac. Mac apps will not run on your iOS devices. You can store iOS apps in the iTunes content library on a Mac or PC for safe keeping and syncing to multiple iOS devices.
    If you qualify for free Mac versions of the iWork apps with the purchase of a new Mac, they would have been in the Purchases pane on the Mac App Store after signing into your store account. You would have been able to accept them into your account and download them.

  • My iPad Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps Stopped Syncing with iCloud Drive

    My iPad Air (iOS 8.0.2) is synced with my iCloud Drive, and all of its apps (Notes, Contacts, Calendar, etc.) sync perfectly with iCloud Drive... except for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
    When I open Pages, Numbers, or Keynote on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0.2), my Mac (Yosemite beta), or my iCloud.com page, all files are there and all apps sync perfectly with one another. It's just Pages, Numbers, and Keynote on my iPad that refuses to sync. When I open my iPhone Pages app, I even see the text "Updating" at the top of the screen. But not on my iPad version.
    I even factory restored my iPad and started all over again. And for a moment, the Pages app got something. A few docs and one folder appeared. But then it stopped again. And I haven't been able to repeat the process.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hello lippyloggy,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud Drive:
    Using iWork with iCloud Drive
    Options for iWork customers
    1. Upgrade to iCloud Drive later this year when OS X Yosemite is available.
    Choose this option if you’d like your documents to keep up to date with your apps on OS X Mavericks or earlier. Note that until you upgrade your iCloud account to iCloud Drive, you won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com or the Share via iCloud feature.    
    If you don’t upgrade to iCloud Drive at this time:
    Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8 and across devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
    You won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
    You won’t be able to use the Share via iCloud feature.
    Documents you previously shared via iCloud won’t be accessible to collaborators until you upgrade to iCloud Drive.
    2. Upgrade to iCloud Drive today.
    Choose this option if you’d like to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com and the Share via iCloud feature. To access the most recent versions of your documents from a Mac with OS X Mavericks or earlier, you’ll need to go to iCloud.com and access Pages, Numbers, and Keynote from there. On a PC, you can install iCloud for Windows 4.0and set up iCloud Drive.If you upgrade to iCloud Drive now:
    Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8, Macs with OS X Yosemite, PCs with iCloud for Windows 4.0, and iCloud.com. (OS X Yosemite will be available this fall.)
    Your documents will no longer keep up to date on devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
    You’ll be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
    You’ll be able to use the Share via iCloud feature on iOS 8 and iCloud.com. You’ll be able to use it on OS X Yosemite later this year.
    Documents you previously shared via iCloud will be accessible to collaborators.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
