Since I downloaded the first update of OSX Mountain Lion iWork '09 won't open. All that comes up is an error report.

My iWork '09 (pages, numbers, keynote) all won't open since i downloaded the first update for Mountain Lion. When i try to open it, it just comes up with this error report:

Anybody else have this problem? Anybody know how i can fix it? Or even get round it, so i can save my documents in Microseft Word format, so I can use them if/ when i need them elsewhere?

iWork '09-OTHER, OS X Mountain Lion

Dont open iWork 09 after you update to mountain lion. iWork 09 has a ML update. Go to software updates and update your iWork 09 for ML.. Restart Mac and you should be good to go ... I did the same thing.

I had already tried that, I have just tried it again aswell, it says no software update. iWork worked before the iWork update for Mountain Lion.

Remove (Uninstall) iWorks then reinstall then the first thing to do is run Sftware update.

Or go to thje Apple Down load site and get the newest updates for iWorks 09.

Lucky you, I don't even get an error message. It just bounces and bounces, then sits there, no windows, no title bar. Just the little indicator under the icon in the dock. :-) Yes I have Iwork 09 as well.

Ok, so I tried manually updating Iwork 09, no joy. I uninstalled Iwork 09, reinstalled, and updated before opening, through the AppStore. Still nothing.
