I am trying to free up space on my MacBook pro. I have newer versions of pages, keynote and numbers(2017). Do I need to keep the older versions(2012) in my applications file? Can I open files made from the 2012 version if I only keep the 2012?
I was about to delete them and I got nervous that it would make those documents useless.
Thanks for the help!
You mean iWorks '09?
The versions are in Menu > App > About this App.
They do have a long list of features that are missing in the later versions. If you open them in the later Pages, Numbers and Keynote those features are lost.

Again,
In your Apps:
Menu > Pages or Numbers or Keynote menu > About Pages or Numbers or Keynote
Get an external harddrive and move as much documents and media onto that as you can. iTunes, Photos will have used a lot with their libraries.
If you have an older Macbook Pro you can upgrade your internal hard drive quite easily, it is tucked in the side of your battery bay. If you upgrade it to an SSD it will actually run faster as well.

I was in the manage storage section from the Apple>About My Mac. Then storage, then Manage storage.
Under Applications it shows both versions of all three. It did come up as iWorks '09 once I clicked info on it. It also popped up with a "Welcome to Pages" window where you can click onto a tutorial. It shows its taking 625.2 MB
Not sure if that's the application or the tutorial.
I only have 14.7 GB of space of 249.77.
It seems like my documents are taking up so much more space since I switched to iCloud. Not sure why!
Thanks!
Keeping old applications of pages, keynote and numbers?
