Pages upgrade not installing

I have downloaded/installed the latest versions of Pages/Numbers/Keynotes but the icons haven't changed in the dock and when I try to open a Pages document sent to me, a msg says I don't have the latest version. When I run updates it says there are none. Versions were purchased in Oct 13. Any ideas?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.


Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.


Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.


You are alternately opening the wrong versions.


Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.


Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.


Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.


Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.


Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.


Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.


All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.


Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.


Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.


Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
