Updating Pages, Numbers and Keynote

I'd like to Update Pages 4.3, Numbers 2.3 and Keynote for High Sierra on my wife's iMac, but it's not working from the purchased apps or the Apple Store. We have a family sharing account, so the Purchased apps were updated on my Mac a while ago.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Updating Apple apps with different AppleID First: I have two AppleIDs. Long story there, but it's a factor in this situation. I just bought a new MacBook Pro, and tonight I used Pages for the first time on this new machine. I clicked to share the document I'd just written, and right away I got a prompt to update Pages. I clicked to update and went through the motions until I got an error message. I can't update because years ago I first activated Pages with my first AppleID. I'm using my (not-so) new AppleID. My question: How to fix this situation? Do I dump Pages, iMovie, Numbers, and Keynote (all four are pending updates in my App Store) and then reinstall them?

Cannot Update Numbers, Pages, Keynote and GarageBand on new iMac I recently upgraded/purchased a new iMac 27inch that came loaded with Pages, Numbers, Keynote and Garage Band. The App Store is telling me there are updates to these however when I try to update them I get a dialog box saying they "cannot be updated because it was refunded or purchased with a different Apple ID." I was able to transfer my files off my old 2009 iMac. I use Microsoft office 365 on this new machine so I'm not really concerned with the needed updates. However I would like to remove the "4" alert over the App Store icon in my task bar. I've tried resetting all warnings for buying and downloading but to no avail. I'll take the upgrades if I can get them since I do have these apps on the new machine, but I can't get anywhere either way so far. Any help is much appreciated, Thank you.

Numbers, Pages, Keynote Update I have a iMac running High Sierra and a MacBook Pro running Sierra. Every time I open these apps I get a message a later version is available, but no updates show in purchased. If I go to purchased in the App store it shows a very old date and just Open. If I click the title of the App it takes me to the update page, I click update and get "Download an older version of AppName" I click download and I get spinning wheel and then nothing. The attached file shows screen shots of Pages app on iMac and my Purchased screen. I have exactly the same problem on MacBook Pro. The versions I have: iMac (Mid 2010, 21.5") OS 10.13.6, Pages 5.6.2, Numbers 3.6.2, Keynote 6.6.2 Macbook Pro (Mid 2012 13") OS 10.12.6 Pages 7.1, Numbers 5.1, Keynote 8.1 I am having issues because my iPad and iPhone are on IOS 14 and anything created and stored in iCloud can't be open on Macs.

You will need macOS Mojave 10.14.* or Catalina 10.15.* installed on the Mac before you can download any {Pages, Numbers, Keynote} v10 from the Mac App Store. There are no updates to the iWork '09 applications as they were retired in early Fall 2013.

Press the option key while selecting the Purchases tab on the Mac App Store on that High Sierra Mac. If you see Pages, Numbers, and Keynote with Update/Install buttons, it will attempt the first paragraph, tell you that you can't, and then it may offer to update these applications to the latest available for High Sierra. Pages v8.1, Numbers v6.1, and Keynote v9.1.

The second paragraph is your only hope of upgrading these applications to the last versions compatible with High Sierra.

I had to delete the old App first before re-downloading my purchased apps.

Thanks
