i hate macbook air. in keynote and pages -inversion colours. cannot change it.

in keynote and pages the project is viewed in inversion colours. cannot change it to show in origin. so, cannot create effective ppt or pages.


I use it on Macbook air. trial version. (i cannot buy it as i am a foreigner and work in China. no visa card and cannot open it as in china for foreigners they do not open).


i am really tired. already 3 days trying to create a normal ppt but its preview is shown in inversion colors. i tried to push every bottom and every option in the menu - no option to change preview on origin color style. as a result - no ppt and no pages. i start to hate macbook as i still keep dependent on my laptop with microsoft windows.


i took a trial version of iwork as i need to use excel, pages and ppt along for my work. realy hate macbook as it makes me limited.😢

I downloaded an instalation file of a trial version. found it in google. it looks like very official and has references on appstore along. I did not update Iwork as it didn't require any updates.

PS. yes, cannot use pages and keynote on my macbook air.

How did you install iWork?


Did you update iWork after you installed it? It is now at version 4.3 and it sounds like you have an older version, not updated for the Retina display.

PS You say you can't use this?

May be you're right. so, i deleted Iwork Trial and now use OpenOffice. but still looking for a way to get Iwork =) as I am willing to use it and cannot wait months while i will go to my country and will be able to pay for this app from my card.


Now have another problem ) i deleted Iwork but still have icons in the menu. cannot delete them.

Honestly, the reference to a "trial version" of iWorks is "curious". I suspect it is in fact a pirated version or a counterfeit.

Oh... i will google it right now. And another trial version of Iwork as well, the latest version.


I have a chinese bank card, they have their own system - UniPay. It works only in China.

Google LibreOffice, it is not in the App Store.


I can guarrantee that if you had a demo iWork '09 installer, it requires updating, as I said to v4.3.


Can't you top up your Credit Card or have a Debit Card for your transactions over the Internet with your bank?


How are you surviving day to day in China without banking and or cards?
