This supercedes previous Purchases, and there is no Apple location to obtain older Pages versions. In the past, on a Mountain Lion This feature may no longer work on Lion and Mountain Lion. If you have an App Store purchased Pages '09, and the second paragraph no longer works, you can not update that application further. You cannot reinstall iWork '09 DVD applications from a backup either, because they sprinkle dependent libraries into the System, and will not run standalone without those libraries.
If you right-click on your copy of Pages '09, choose show package contents, and double-click the Contents folder. Kappy, thanks for the response. I did purchase my copy from the App store. It was the first purchase I ever made there: September 8, VikingsOSX, thanks for the response. So there's just no way to gain access to an application that you already paid for?
Except buying it again? That doesn't seem right. Or even reasonable. Wonder how many people I can scare up for a class-action lawsuit…? Maybe you're hanging on to an older iOS device or maybe you just got a great secondhand bargain. Either way, you can't update the device to the latest iOS and so you also can't download the latest versions of your apps.
Since the App Store only ever shows you the latest versions, it looks as if you're stuck unable to get your old apps back. Yet you can do it, and you can do it easily — if you know where to look. Open the App Store on this older device of yours and then tap on the Purchased button. As great as older iOS devices are, they are older and they are usually slower so this won't be quick. Especially not as you need to wait until the complete list of your previously purchased apps is displayed.
Once the list is complete — and all the icons have displayed too — search for the app you want. Just tap on that iCloud download icon and you're done — or very nearly. The trick here is to wait. And maybe wait for a considerable time, too. Don't tap away, don't leave the App Store, just wait. After some amount of time, the App Store will display a notification saying that no, you can't have this app because it doesn't work with the version of iOS that your device has.
However, it will also offer to let you download a previous version. This is a really smart feature from Apple because it offers you this compatible version but it also makes sure that you're getting the newest that you can. If an app has been updated five times a year, you'd struggle to know which was the very latest you could use but Apple knows and Apple tells you.
Apps get updated for a reason. How would you re-install the older version of the app on your iPhone or iPad? Unlike before, installing an older version of an iOS app is pretty simple. Albeit the process is slightly under the wraps.
Hence, not too many folks would be aware of this important feature. Let me show you how it works! We shall update the post as soon as we find the solution. Note: This simple trick will work with only those apps that were once compatible with the iOS version running on your device.
For instance, Facebook had the support of iOS 7. A restored version replaces the current version. Save a copy of a previous version as a new document: Hold down the Option key on the keyboard, then click Restore a Copy.
Pages opens the copy in a new window, where you can edit it and save it with a new name. The original version also remains open in its own window. A reverted version replaces the current version. Upon selecting install , you will be prompted if you want to install the last supported version for your OS release.
You now have Pages v8. Version numbers applying to High Sierra as of January If you go to the Mac App Store and try to install the iWork apps, it should offer you the appropriate versions. Are you looking for the older version of iWork before the Mac App Store? I think it was iWork '09? The root of this problem is that you need to have the app in your App Store storage you must have "bought" it in order to get a compatible version for your OSX.
But you cannot buy it because your OSX version is to low. If by any chance you are able to borrow or log into a newer MAC, with the appropriate OS you can "purchase" the application and download it there.
Next time you open App Store on your old Mac, you will be given the option to download the last supported version of the app. Since it is registered on your account that you now own the program.
Also, having a friend with an Apple ID from which the suite has been downloaded can help. He can then install the program on your Mac. Afterwords you can login yourself. And the app is still yours.
