Had bad email virus attack. Rest my machine. Wiped out iWork's'09. Would like to have IT back instead of the NEWEST version. Any way to do that?

Once you reinstall from the iWork '09 DVD, you should consider applying an Apple updater to it. These updaters are not for iWork '09 applications that were individually purchased from the OS X App Store. The updaters provide additional features: 1) full screen support, 2) autosave, 3) versions, and 4) resume.

  1. OS X 10.6.6 - OS X 10.7.5

    Apple iWork 9.1 updater

  2. OS X 10.7.4 - OS X 10.11.5+

    Apple iWork 9.3 updater


As the iWork '09 DVD was a retail purchase, any such disk that shipped with your Mac would likely be a timed trial DVD, and it may timeout with no means to activate it as the Apple servers for that purpose are long since gone. If that is the case, then there are retail iWork '09 DVD still available via Amazon and Ebay resellers.
