After upgrading to Mavericks my complete iWork '09 don't open anymore, e.g. when opening pages "Pages cannot be openend because of a problem." I'm also not able to upgrade to any newer version of Pages, Numbers or Keynote. What can I do?
MacBook Air (13-inch Late 2010), OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Download the new version of iWork from the Appstore, a few days ago this was free because of a failure in the Appstore.
But then I have to pay for the Apps. I want to upgrade my old versions to the newer ones. But the Appstore doesn't recognize that I've installed iWork.
From what OS did you upgrade to Mavericks (SL; L; ML)?.
Did you update your iWork '09 apps? They should be Pages 4.3 and Numbers 2.3 --I don't have Keynote, so I don't know about that one.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Try Pages 09 in another user account and see if it works there. If it does you probably have a corrupt plist file. Come back and report and we can help you.
Do the following:
Download the following update 9.0.3 for iWork:

Install this update over the existing install in your computer. When the install succeeds, do not start iWork, but restart the computer. You can run it now and It also should be in the Appstore now.
The iWork'09 will not work in Mavericks, it is too old. Do not get confused with iWork 9, iWork 9 is in the iWork'11 set.
What are you on about? iWork '09 worked fine for me on Maverick! There isn't any such thing as iWork'11.
Aaahhh, you are right, this was not meant for here: this '09 and '11 was meant for another thread on iLife not iWork. My apologies for this stupid error.
You are apologised!
First of all: I installed the iWork 09 Suite last week on Mountain Lion. I upgraded to Mavericks and the Apps doesn't work anymore. I installed the iWork 9.3 Patch as you recommended. The iWork-Apps started and ask me if I want to update to the newer version. I clicked "yes" but nothing happend.
When I now go to the App Store it still shows me only the purchase option. When I click "purchase" then it says "you already installed a version not from the Appstore, do you really want to purchase?"
So I'm still not able to upgrade. Is there any possibility to fix that?
There is a weird work around. Change the system language in the system preferences. Restart the computer and log in . Start macappstore. Now you should see that you can upgrade pages. Do so and log in with your AppleID. When it finished installing you will find pages in the application folder, not in the iWork folder.
Change back the language in the system preferences and resatrt the computer and log in again.
I heard so, too. I already set the system language to English (before it was German). The trick worked with my complete iLife Suite, however, it doesn't work with iWork. I already tried to install it with another user account but same response.
I would start over. Make sure that you are logged out from MacAppStore when you do it.
If the iWork apps are still installed: move them from the iWork folder in Applications to the Aplications folder directly. Then try again.
