Can't Update Pages

When I click on previously created documents from my ipad my Mac is telling me to Update, but in App store it only says "Installed." How can I access my Pages Documents and/or update the Pages on my Mac

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.


Pages 5.2 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 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.


Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.


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


Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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 removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
