iWork 09 installs and runs on my iBook running OS X 10.4.11. However the update to iWork 9.0.4 will not install and gives the message that OS X 10.5 is required. I was surprised that there seems to have been a change in system requirement between iWork 9 and 9.0.4. Is this correct?
MacBook iMac iPod Touch,
Mac OS X (10.6.4),
Also iBook with OS X 10.4.11
I installed 9.0.4 on a G5 running 10.4.11
It's true that it refuse to install on a G4.
In the note describing the updater, Apple wrote that it requires at least 10.5.8.
So, applying it on a G5 running 10.4.11 works but has no support from Apple.
Given some messages which I received, it seems that the epub export doesn't work correctly in such environment.
I can't check because my G5 died some weeks ago.
In fact, it's not surprising. Months ago, Apple stated that they no longer bring support to 10.4.x.

Thanks for this info, Yvan. I suspected that this was the case. It does seem a little strange, though, for Apple to make this change in the context of a small incremental update. Oh well, it is probably time for my iBook to go into honourable retirement...
