How do I update Numbers to 2.2 (mtn lion)

Thanks John, this has done it. All working well now.

Stand alone updater didn't work either. Deleting and re-installing from the App store solved the problem.

Same with me. But I had Keynote.

Worked for me too.

Create a folder called " iwork '09 " in the applicaion tab in finder menu bar and move pages, keynote and numbers into it. Try update again using this -http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563

Software Update takes one to the ap store, which doesn't address this update for me.

The iWork Updater doesn't work with it either (says Keynote is not installed).

Thanks for any tips

I have Numbers 2.1 and Mac OSX 10.8

Thank you Peggy,

with your help I could solve my update problem with iWork '09 after I upgraded to ML. Because I bought iWork before there was an AppStore there were no update detected there and when I started e.g. Keynote there came (1x) the message about a new update (5.2). When I finally found the iWork updare file for manual update it said that I do not have the right iWork (i do not remember the exact text). It felt like the old bad times with microsoft...

After I read your comment I renamed the folder form "iWork" to "iWork '09" and finally everthing worked!!

I hope furhter updates will work better and again automatic.

Best wishes

Hi John. So you mean simply drag the iWork 08 folder (or whichever version) that's in the applications folder to the trash???? And then try to purchase numbers from the app store again?

Because I did that and it still says installed at the AppStore. It doesn't give me an option to either download, install, purchase or update. Many thanks, Brad.
