Hi all, just have a little problem I was hoping some one could help with.

For the record i'm running an up to date Lion and using a late 2009 MBP.

When I previously used Snow Leopard I ran iWork ('08) but then upgraded to Lion and got Office 2011. However, I would still like to use to use iWork. I use Time Machine so I went to a date when iWork was installed and copied the folder back to the Applications folder on my current Lion Setup, however when I try and run this it says some files are missing.

Does anyone know which files are missing and where I can find them within my Time Machine backup?

Thanks for the help. If you require any more info just ask.
 
You need to copy iWorks from your application folder and also copy:

  • iWorks folder from Application Support (you will find this in the Library)
  • iwork related Preferences (for good measure)

That should do it. (It worked for me anyway)
