Pages 5.0 Services no longer working.

I suspect that this may be something that only Apple will be able to resolve, but I noticed that Services in the new version of Pages (5.0) are no longer working.  Specifically: "Replace with Passage", and "Copy Bible Verses".  However, the "Copy Bible Verses to Pages" does work from an open Logos Bible version when chosen.

I thought at first it might be something that the update to Mavericks caused, but Services still work from Mac Word 2011.  Is this resolvable by Logos or as I suspect Apple?

I'm running Logos 5.2 SR-1 on a 2011 iMac using Mavericks 10.9.

    It is an Apple issue... a web search might bring up some articles about the issue. (I read a number of them several weeks ago).

    FYI - You should still have Pages 09 in your Applications folder if you "updated" to the new version.

    It is an Apple problem because the new version his not scriptable. Apple calling this an update is like Ford calling a car an upgrade if they replaced the gas engine with a great new electric engine but to do it had to take away auto locks, lights, radio and anything else electric other than the drive train.

    Thanks, that's what I suspected.  Apple did issue an update today for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, however, the Services problem apparently was not addressed because it's still not working. We will continue using Mac Word 2011, thank goodness that still works (for now).

    As alabama24 pointed out, Pages '09 is in your applications folder under iWorks '09. Apple intentionally retained the older versions of the iWorks software because the new multi-platform versions of the software are so radically rebuilt. They should have tagged the new iWorks with a Beta tag, since it is very much still under development.
