pages update os x mountain lion

You get the updates by running Software Update not the M.A.S. which is only for M.A.S. apps.

Also you can directly download updaters from Apple's Support Downloads (a level above these forums).

With Mountain Lion software update has moved to MAS.

The net tightens! 🙂

Software Updates appear in the Mac App Store, but it still is a separate option under the Apple menu. Those who installed iWork '09 from the retail disk or the downloaded trial still must use Software Update. Here's my screenshot from yesterday morning showing the two sections of the updates window.

iWork and iLife (purchased outside of the Mac App Store) update is not shown in the Mac App Store. I installed Mountain Lion and I know for a fact that those apps are out of date, but it says no updates are available at this time. Why aren't these apps updating??? I know I can manually download each update on the web, but shouldn't software update handle this? Since it showed up when I had Lion installed.

Software Update still handles the updates for non-MAS purchased Apple software. But, as always, the programs must be where the udpaters looks for them, i.e. where they were put by the installer. For the iWork apps that is the iWork '09 folder in Applications. The iLife apps are in the first level of the Applications folder. You cannot move or rename anything.

One feature I like about the Mac App Store is that I can move the applications to sub-folders. Finder will ask for your password so it can "keep track" of where the programs were moved.

Software update doesn't exist in Mountain Lion.

Yes it does.

No it doesn't. It launches Mac App Store.

Regardless, I know my iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Aperture, are all out of date, but Mac App Store says no updates are available. I can only update if I download them myself individually on the website.

Yes, Software Update is now part of the Mac App Store, but it is still Software Update. Look at this screenshot showing the two sections of the MAS. Software Update is on top. I don't know why it doesn't work for you, but at least you got it.

Yup, I saw it on your first post, but it does me no good since I don't see any of those updates, even though iWork and iPhoto are out of date. Did you buy iWork and iPhoto from the Mac App store?

IPhoto, yes, which is why it's in the lower section. I installed iWork '09 from the DVD released in January, 2009.

I have run the update from Apple's support section and also using the method above after a fresh install of Mountain Lion. Both updates work in terms of running and getting no errors. But after both methods, I still can't run Pages, Numbers or Keynote (the last just errors out). The templates don't seem to be showing up and I can't open any of my old files. Any help is greatly appreciated.

What versions of iWork apps do you have? I update regularly for iWork '09 installed from retail disks.

Also, listen to what Peggy is telling you. If you are looking for updates ONLY in the Mac app store, try using the option called Software Update. This means you click the Apple icon, display the drop down and click on Software Update. Even if you believe it's crap, it's certainly worth the 4 seconds of your life it will take to do that.
