why can't I download "Pages" it can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because OS X version 10.10 or later is required?
MacBook Pro, iOS 8.1.1, just downloaded latest upgrade
That is correct. The current version of iWork apps only work with Yosemite. Earlier versions are no longer available unless you have purchased them in the past and just wish to re-download.
That is going to continue being a problem with Pages 5 along with the over 100 missing features, it is incompatible with every single Mac user who can't or doesn't want to upgrade to Yosemite.
Best to stick with Pages '09 which has far more features and works on everything from Snow Leopard up to Yosemite.

Thank you for the response. I did download Yosemite. It's a challenge. I'm not even sure if the latest update I did on my iPad was Yosemite or not. So, "I can" reload Pages 9 on top of the other version, even though it's an earlier version, and run it in Yosemite?
The iPad doesn't run Yosemite or any other version of OS X. The iPad runs iOS. Yosemite is a Mac operating system.
That's helpful. Thank you.
I took your advice and ordered pages 9 off Amazon and will download it as soon as it gets here. Thanks for the help. Sometimes I wish they'd stop updating things. Duplicate photos, iPhoto syncing, blah blah blah. We've been on macs since 95'. It's getting really complicated. It use to be so simple.
I'm trying to lay out a 8-12 page catalogue to pass on to my design person to prep for final before print. Yikes, with all the hassle of trying to get my devices working together has been a time, effort drain that could have been better spent, for sure.
Q.
1. After I get the content altogether I'll need to save it and send it in PDF format.
2. Does anyone one know if the original photos will save in PDFS also?
Please... No mocking, just on "information overload" and your help here has been great, and appreciate.
The iWork '09 DVD applications will not work with Yosemite right from the DVD. After their installation, apply the Apple iWork 9.3 updater to bring the individual applications to their latest revision, and compatibility with Yosemite. The iWork '09 PDF manuals for Pages and Numbers are here. The Keynote manual is here.
Since the iWork '09 applications are discontinued, Apple is not concerned about future OS X updates that may break iWork '09 applications. Just keep that in mind, and have consistent document backups.
How can I download that version?
Thanks.
