Can't update Pages, Preview, or Numbers in Mojave

I am trying to update Pages 7.3 to Pages 10.1 on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) running Mojave, 10.14.6

It says that I need to be in OS 13, but I am actually in OS 14!

Pages is not listed in my update tabs in either the App Store or Preferences page.

I would also like to update Numbers and Preview.

I am interested in using Pages as a teleprompter, but that feature is not available yet in 7.3

Thank you!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14

You are in macOS 10.14.6. The current Pages, Numbers, and Keynote require macOS 13.0 or later, an operating system that is several years newer than Mojave.


If you previously installed Pages or Numbers from the Mac App Store, then using the same Apple ID as before, you should be able to get the last compatible versions of Pages and Numbers for Mojave 10.14.6.


You launch the Mac App Store, and sign in with the same Apple ID. Then you press cmd+0 (zero) to open the past purchases panel. Pages should show an update or install button that you click. Then one or more dialogs will appear and you do not click Cancel on any of them. The last dialog will offer to install the last compatible version of Pages for Mojave. Repeat that process for Numbers.


Since Preview is installed by the operating system, Apple does not provide any separate download capability for that application and it is frozen to Mojave 10.14.6.
