Why hasn iwork been updated

When using Handoff between an iOS device and a Mac, the Handoff icon only shows up on the lock screen of the iOS device if the file is saved to iCloud. Keynote saw a fair number of improvements earlier in the year, including three new animations and the addition of motion blur.

Motion blur can be turned on application-wide as long as your Mac supports it. It looks like this blurring requires a beefy GPU: our test MacBook Pro is good enough to get the feature but not really good enough to pull it off. The short version: Motion gets blurrier but also much choppier. Objects can now be animated with the drift-and-scale, skid, and trace effects new to this version , and there's a new "object revolve" effect to transition between slides.

Keynote '14 brings back the ability to customize the presenter display. This doesn't add a ton of new options, but it does let you reorder and resize the different elements. For a while I thought I was imagining things, but it looks like Keynote applies a subtle shadow to text in shapes that can't be turned off. You must login or create an account to comment. Skip to main content When Apple released the edition of the productivity suite formerly known as iWork , it represented a radical departure from iWork '09 and earlier versions.

The iWork '14 icons Keynote 6. They don't delete the old versions after install, so you still have both, but it was free! Now the iOS 7 versions and Mac Mavericks versions share pretty much the same feature set.

Pages is especially more useful to me now! Thanks to everyone for sharing their experience with this as well. Posted on Oct 23, AM. Page content loaded. Oct 22, PM in response to timstidham In response to timstidham.

The problem is that i even can't find official documents about new iWork suite no Terms of Service or anything, except very small footnote on product page, which is not the full statement , also the webpage "register your iwork" is strangely absent now on all Apple servers.

Actually this morning the Mac App Store did recognize my installed iWork apps and then offered me free updates, which I downloaded.

The new versions are slimmed down. Very iOS 7 like and work well. So it's evidently free for all who have a iWork '09 installed regardless of purchase date of the Mac involved.

After hours of searching and testing many solutions people said to work for them to update but didn't work for me , I managed to get all iWork apps in the app store and to update for free with these steps:.

Update iWork'09 to version 9. Install all updates, reboot and log in to your normal user account and change the language back to whatever you like. You can reupdate to iWork 9. This worked for me. I bought iwork '09 on disk but it showed Has this upgrade no longer available? Improve this question.

My point was that with the release of Mavericks the versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynotes I had installed form iWork were all updated.

Now I've done a rebuild, and reinstall they are no longer upgrading. Instead Apple proceeds with its release and abandon strategy. Release iWork into the market with great fanfare and starve it until it eventually dies. What makes matters worse is that Apple will not comment on its iWork roadmap. Not even a "we're working on it. Without the potential for new features and performance increases business users are taking a long hard look at the alternatives and increasingly giving their cash to Microsoft instead.

It's a good thing that Microsoft didn't release a slick Office for Mac , or it would be game over for iWork. One potential bright spot: Apple's hiring iWork engineers. But will it be enough to stem the tide? How long will it take for production code to be released?
