I went to the app store, ordered "Pages". Got error message: "Must have OSX 10.12 or later". What I have is OSX 10.11.6. "Software Update" responds "No Updates Available". What's up? (I've a MacBook Pro.)

In a User Unfriendly policy, Apple has tied the versions of Pages to each version of MacOS then failed to supply older updates, whilst also making it impossible for people of older Macs to open current version Pages documents.

Update your Mac to MacOS 10.12, or continue to use Pages '09 v4.3 which does open on all versions of MacOS back to Snow Leopard.

Hi dickns,

Unless I'm mistaken, checking "Software Update" will tell you whether there's a more up-to-date version of your current OS. You need to open the App Store app and download Sierra, Mac OS 10.12, from there.

Cheers

This is not helpful if you are topped out at 10.11.6 with your device. I had to replace a failed drive and now I can't get the iMovie back because App Store does not have versions to work with 10.11.6

Any ideas on where at Apple you can get older versions. There use to be a download site outside of the App Store?

Thanks,

Matt

Apple no longer distributes it.

You can buy the Family boxed iWork '09 set quite cheaply from Amazon, make sure you upgrade it to v4.3 after installation.

'09 won't work for me. El Capitan but it won't open.

You need to update to v4.3 as stated above.
