Update iWork apps to App Store Versions

If you already had iWork on your computer, they should have been updated when you ran Software Update. There was an iWork update released today along with the 10.6.6 update.

When you go to the Mac App Store, does it already say the iWork apps are already installed? If so, then Software Update updated them when you ran it.

Do not click the Buy button. You run the risk of actually purchasing them again. What version of iWork do you have? Do you have iWork 09?

Check Software Update and see if it shows an update for them.

I did the iWork'09 v5 update last night and they show installed in the App Store, so definitely do it that way.

It will not show them installed if you have an older version eg, I have iLife'09 so it shows the new iLife'11 available for purchase. I presume that any future updates for v'09 will still be done the old way (if there are ever any future updates).

Other developers will go this way presumably, I just checked Text Wrangler for example, I had v3.2 on my machine, App Store had v3.5 and did not show mine installed. Once I hit the Free button it downloaded and installed over the old one and now shows installed on the App Store.

New way of doing it all, but I guess with time we'll get used to it.

I'm having a very similar issue. I have 10.6 with iLife '11 and iWork '09.

iLife has been updated. In the Mac App Store, all the applications that make up iLife have read "Installed" where "Buy" would usually be. iWork, however, prompts me to buy each program.

When I open Pages, Keynote, or Numbers it tells me there's an update. Then I go into Software Update and it tells me that all my software is up to date.

I'm stumped. If anyone has a good idea, let me know and I'll report back if it works or not so everyone will know what to do.

If iLife '09 is up to date on your computer, open iphoto' 09 > About and it should be v8.1.2, where the version on the App Store is iPhoto'11 v 9.1.1, so it should be showing as available to purchase as the '09 version is old.

If iWork '09 if up to date on your computer, open Pages' 09 > About and it should be v4.0.5, which matches the version on the App Store, so it should say it is installed.

Sounds like it. For the moment, Do nothing as you have the latest version

I have version 4.0.4 of Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. Software Update is telling me everything is up to date. What do? :-/

not too sure exactly what is going on.

If you go to the Apple Logo at the top of the screen and select Software Update, does it tell you that there is an update available?

Alternately, you can go here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1097 and download and install manually.
