Pages (iWorks '09) suddenly does not work with OS 10.7.4 (Lion).

All of a sudden Pages does not work with Lion (OS 10.7.4). I work with pages from the year 2009; always without any problem.

Yesterday I tried to open Pages, but got message it can not be opened with my OS (Lion). I installed Lion last november. Yesterday and today I reinstalled iWork '09. This software I did buy in 2009.

After reinstalling Pages does not work.

Does anyone know what's atter?

iMac (24-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.7.4), iPad, iPhone

Have you updated the Pages '09 to the latest version: v4.1? Your DVD version will be older.

Menu > Apple > Software Update…

You have to completely delete iWork before installing again.You cannot completely delete iWork by moving the iWork '09 folder to the Trash. Instead, use Yvan Koenig's script:

• Go to http://www.box.com/s/00qnssoyeq2xvc22ra4k

• Choose public_YK > for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items

• Click on uninstall iWork '09.zip, decompress it, open it in AppleScript Editor and click the Run button

Restart the computer and install again from the iWork 09 CD. Do the software updates too.
