Why can't I update Pages?

I purchased iWorks - Pages (version 9.4) on 23 Sep 2013 from the Mac App Store.  I have tried countless times to update the program after installing Mavericks.  Each time the downlaod appears to complete but I get a pop up mesage that the download failed and to check previvious purchases tab.  My previous pourchase does not display Pages, although it is listed under account details in iTunes.  I can select Pagres, version 5 directly from the Mac App Store and it recognizes that I am eligable for a free upgrade. 
How or why does the program stop installation after it downloads? 
How do I get my previous version of Pages to work?  It is no longer listed on my iMac. 
Can I even download the previous version of Pages now that version 5 is released?  (Since so many peole don;t like the new version.)

Fixed the issue by connecting to another ISP.  Files downloaded and updated my iWorks.

    Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

    Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

  • Why can't I update a table of contents in Windows InDesign CS 5.5?

    I have clicked in a table of contents frame, but on my layout menu, "udpate table of contents" is grayed out.
    I have "moved" my table of contents from an InDesign doc I created weeks ago into a new doc. I can update it in the old doc, but when it's copied into the new doc, the update option is no longer available.
    Why can't I updated it once it's in another doc so I can use its TOC styles & layouts rather than having to redefine those all over again?
    Thanks!

    Loading the TOC style gave me the fonts I wanted, but not the dots & the page numbers that were in the doc from which I loaded the styles.  My TOC has no page numbers now, but I do like the font.
    Is there a trick to getting the page number display with the dots to show up?

    The app's description page in the store says iPhone only, and from the developer's website (http://www.whatsapp.com/faq/) :
    We support all iPhone devices no matter how old or new, as long they are running iPhone OS 3.1 and up. Sorry, but there is no iPod or iPad support at the moment.

  • Why can't I update my Flash player?

    When playing Pogo, I got an alert saying Flash needed updating. I pushed the appropriate button, and was then presented with a page full of confusing instructions. I couldn't  understand most of the terms used and I wonder if Adobe can tell me exactly which Flash version is on my computer, then why can't Adobe update my computer without having me determing what my NEW computer has or does and/or what all the terms refer to.
    I have a daughter that works in IT department of her employer and she was unsuccessful in updating.
    Must I pay someone just to update my Flash player?

    Hi vcormier,
    Which browser are you using?

  • Why can't I update my ipod touch to the iOS 4.3?

    Why can't I update my ipod touch to the iOS 4.3?
    I try to update my ipod touch 4th gen. to the new iOS 4.3 software and the thing loads and after the 7-8 minutes or so, when it says "processing file" a pop up says that the network connection has timed out, and to check my network settings. I've tried several different times and get the same result. My wi-fi is working with all three bars and my computer is also connected to the internet. I've tried restoring it but it says I have to get the new software and then I get the same result( this time ipod not restored).... What's going on with my ipod? Anyone help?

    Hi,
    Have you tried to see if you have the newest version of iTunes? Also, it may help if you try the following steps.
    Download iOS from a third-party website (i reccomend http://whited00r.com/) (as this is a full operating system, it is a big download and may take time on a slow internet connection)
    Unzip the file.
    After unzipping, you should now have a .ipsw file.
    Open iTunes
    Connect your device and make sure you take a back-up of it first (if you don't all your data will be erased)
    Now, while pressing the Restore button, hold down the Alt key (for Mac) or the Shift key (for Windows).
    You should now have a window open asking you to choose a file.
    Choose the file you just downloaded from whited00r.com
    Press OK
    It should start replacing your current OS to the new one.
    When this finishes, your device will restart
    Click restore from (whatever your old device was called)
    It will put back all your apps and information

    Very vague.  Almost impossible to guess since you provide no info at all about your issue.

    It is a second gen ipod touch?  If it is an 8gigabyte then it is a second gen
