Need To Restore Deleted iWork Apps

I noticed I had two copies of Pages on my OS X 10.9 Mavericks System. So I used App Delete to remove the iWork 09 apps and leave the latest copies. Unfortunately, it took the old and the new copies.

I have not emptied the trash and I have a time machine backup.

I have several documents I use on Pages so I need to know the best way to restore the newest Pages and the other iWork apps.

Thanks,

Randal

You can open the Trash folder .. right click on each of the apps and select the "Put Back" option and it will restore the application to its previous location ... if you see any plist or settings files .. 'Put Back' these too

I am doing the control click since I don't have a right click and there is no option for "put back."

Else, log on to the app store and redownload them. If you bought them or claimed them you can redownload the apps.

Worked great. I especially appreciate you suggesting what folders to repopulate. While doing that I found content that would have been erased permanently.
