Numbers won't update

I'm running Numbers 3.0.1 on Mavericks, and each time I open it, it tells me there is an update available, yet when I click through to the store, it doesn't appear. Other than paying another £13.99 (no thanks!) I can't work out what to do.


I'm having the same problem with Pages (5.0.1) and at the moment can only seem to access anything on my iPad.


Can you help please?


Thanks

iMac (24-inch Early 2009), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Hi Roger,

Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.

The trick is to drag icons for both versions to your Dock. Right click or control click on each and Options > Keep in Dock. That puts you in charge of which version you launch.


Here is a screen shot of both Numbers icons on my Dock.


Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) on the left with a three column graph.

Numbers 3.2 on the right with a four column graph.

Both versions will run happily together. Just be sure which version is opening your document. Do not uninstall Numbers 2. You might need it!


Instead of double clicking the document, run whichever version of Numbers/Pages/Keynote suits and use File > Open.


Regards,

Ian.
