iWork doesn't work anymore with MacOSX Lion...

I had iWork '09 on MacOSX Snow Leopard and than I choose to install lion and was all right than I reinstall Lion because was really slowly. I didn't find all the iLife '11 and iWork. With iLife'11 I reinstall it from the TimeMachine Backup but I tried with iWork'09 and when I open Pages, Numbers or Keynotes there is a message that says:

Pages cannot be opened because of a problem.

Check with the developer to make sure Pages works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any avaiable updates for the application of Mac Os X.

I tried to download the last update but nothing change, and if I wold install it again would mean t buy again all 3 of them....😟

Thanks, Luca🙂

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

I assume that you restored the iWork '09 applications but failed to restore the folder :

Luca - uninstall iWork by using Yvans script.

Go to Yvans iDisk :

<http://public.me.com/koenigyvan>

Download :

For_iWork:iWork '09:uninstall iWork '09.zip

Expand the archive and run the script.

Install iWork from the dvd you have.

Then do the Software update check and install the updates. Otherwise it will not work.

You were trying to run a motorcar without its gear box 😉
