I just updated my rMBP to 10.10.3 from 10.9.5. In doing so, I enabled automatic updates in the App Store. Unknowingly, I replaced my Pages 09 with the new Pages and I've lost a great deal of functionality that I depend on for document and manual creation.
How do I downgrade to Pages '09 (4.5.3??)?
Must I revert back to 10.9.5?
Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
Have you checked Finder Go menu item Applications to see if there is a folder iWork '09? You should also be able to find it via Spotlight Search for Pages (should show both versions).
Unfortunately, I did a fresh install of Yosemite and my existing data is gone.
I just tried copying the iWorks '09 folder from my Mac Book Air (still running 10.8.5), but the apps crash immediately upon start.
Pages '09 should have been moved to your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages '09 is not a downgrade it is an upgrade with 100+ extra features and way less bugs and much greater compatibility.
Make sure you Export any Pages 5 files to Pages '09 format.

My iWorks '09 was moved to the applications folder but it will not work. I get a prompt that says I must reinstall iWork using the installer. Where do I find the installer? I bought this years ago off the Apple site.
How can we downgrade Pages 5.5 to Pages 09?
