Not our call, and we do not make Apple policy. That being said, many of us continue to use Pages '09 v4.3 on OS X El Capitan. Not for App Store applications that Apple has discontinued three years ago, and replaced with versions that presently require OS X 10.10.4 or later. So there's just no way to gain access to an application that you already paid for?

If there is a Frameworks folder within, then you have an OS X App Store sourced Pages '09.ĭid you try to install the current Pages (v5.6.2) on Lion, and did it detect your App Store version of Pages '09 in /Applications and offer to update it for you? If you right-click on your copy of Pages '09, choose show package contents, and double-click the Contents folder.

You must never run this updater on iWork '09 applications installed from the OS X App Store, as it will destroy them. Your last option is to obtain a retail iWork '09 DVD from Amazon or Ebay resellers, and follow that installation with the Apple iWork 9.3 updater, to arrive at the last application suite versions. You cannot reinstall iWork '09 DVD applications from a backup either, because they sprinkle dependent libraries into the System, and will not run standalone without those libraries. If you have an App Store purchased Pages '09, and the second paragraph no longer works, you can not update that application further. This feature may no longer work on Lion and Mountain Lion. In the past, on a Mountain Lion (10.8) system, the installation of Pages v5 expectedly failed, but unexpectedly, the App Store detected an out of date (App Store purchased) Pages '09 application, and offered to update it, which I accepted. This supercedes previous Purchases, and there is no Apple location to obtain older Pages versions. Apple only keeps the last release of the current Pages available in the OS X App Store.
