Pages and High Sierra 10.13

Actually, it -is an agenda.

High Sierra is supposed to be supported by Apple for another year; that means that Apple's own apps should support High Sierra for at least another year.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that since the advent of Mojave, Apple is trying desperately to get out from under the weight of the 2010-11 Radeon Macs by making them as inhospitable to use as possible. What Apple has done by prematurely ending update support for High Sierra with their iApps (and also making them not backward compatible with their documents), is an attempt to force the need for new Macs upon workplaces that have a workflow based in Pages, Numbers and Keynote, since older Macs in the mix can no longer be homogenous with application versions, or even open the documents from a Mojave or later Mac on the same network, once said later Mac first auto updates the apps.

It's a bad strategy, mind; because moving a small business to MS Office will cost less than replacing a few Macs stuck on High Sierra.

Yes, but how about people like me, buying a used iMac, people “new” to iOS/iMac? Using Pages/Numbers/Keynote on our 5 iPads is no problem - but the “good old iMac” no, we should buy a new one. 🤑☹️ AirDrop iPads <> “old” iMac? No sir.

Think this is not a technical thing, think it’s “marketing”, Apple trying to sell new stuff. ☹️

instala una versión de prueba, (para esto googlea un poco)

luego actualizas hasta donde te deje.

apple esta empeñada en hundir su propio negocio.

Except I was ABLE to download older versions for two out of the three. Had I read and accepted the prior posts I might not have tried.

Thanks - but I do’nt know anyone with such a backup. Would it be possible to share / download / WeTransfer the “old” installation versions from someone that has the desired version? Like an old Win.exe file?

Thanks for providing the perfect answer! I was having the same problem, and was about to give up on this thread for all the complaining about the Apple Store policies... Forgot about the "re-downloading" apps that you've deleted from the hard drive.

When I go to the purchased section I don't see an "install" button only one that says open and if I press open, it lists my pages files. If I click on pages in the purchased section it goes to the update page. Is this what I want to do? If i press update will it give me the option to go to a previous version or will it try and update latest again.

Thank you!!

In my previous MacBook Air it says that i purchased Pages, Number and Keynote in 2015. But in my newly purchased second hand MacBook Pro which uses OS High Sierra there is no list of those previously purchased apps in the App Store.

A couple of weeks ago I have had a purchase of Pages for High Sierra. But yesterday I reinstalled Mac OS. I didn't save Pages because I didn't see necessary - I purchased Pages recently and thought to buy it again. But I can't to buy it for High Sierra, only for Catalina, but Catalina is not for my iMac 21,5 mid 2011. When I reinstalled my Mac, I changed my Apple ID. Why I can't to purchase version Pages for High Sierra in App Store? The policy of Apple company seems very strange for me because I am old Apple user, I use iMac, Macbook Air and iPhone for long time. But now I need to think about change my tech priorities.

good for you, surprised they let you link that here.

is catalina worth the risk?

Mojave is incredible and ran great on my 2012 Mac mini which i sold last year

I'm running High sierra on my macbook 2010 and everything is smooth, except pages.

i do use libreoffice but would like the autosave for iPad and MacBook option.

Thanks, Ill give that a shot.

THANK YOU!!!

Took me days to find a real answer!

I am, don't now where installed((

Apple thinks we will all buy a brand new laptop instead of using another source for pages.

Apple does not know we did, I purchased DellXPS in 2019 over their stubborness.

how do I get pages on this mac running 10.13
