I bought my software pack iWork 2008 at the apple retail store and I cannot get any updates and apple App Store won't help me.   Does any one know how I can get the upgrade without paying full price for a second time? I paid $99 for the iWork family pcan'

I cannot believe that apple is refusing to help a customer who bought and paid for iWork software just because I bought it from the retail store the App Store says they cannot allow me to upgrade.  I have never heard of such.  It should to matter where I got it i bought apples software and I don't et how the retail store can be different frothe App Store my god its all still apple.  So stupid.  I will not pay full price for the upgrade.   Also I purchased Logic Studio and 2 days later the upgrade came out and they will not let u upgrade ?  I think there should be at Least a 30-45 day window if u purchase software and they release the upgrade u should get not.    It's not like apple doesn't make enough money already.  

iWork '08 & 09 installed from the retail disk or from the downloaded trial must be updated through Software Update. Those installations will not be recognized as installed by the Mac App Store. In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have that needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window.
But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '08 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08. If it doesn't have the '08 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
If you are running Pages 3.0.3, then you do have the latest version of Pages from iWork '08. If you want to upgrade to iWork '09, you will need to purchase the new version, just like everyone else. The good news is that you can buy just the individual iWork apps - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - that you need or want for $20 US each from the Mac App Store & then install them on as many Macs as you need using the same Apple ID.

  • Hi I installed a new hard drive in my Mac mini osx lion an when I turn it on I get a flashing file with a question mark. I tried holding command and R keys when turning it on but the recovery fails to work. Does any one know how I can get it to recover?

    Hi I installed a new hard drive in my Mac mini osx lion an when I turn it on I get a flashing file with a question mark. I tried holding command and R keys when turning it on but the recovery fails to work. I can hold the option key at start up and choose my network, then Internet recovery shows up with an arrow pointing up. When I click on the arrow Internet recovery fails and all I get is a globe with a triangle on it with an exclamation mark on it, and under that it says
    apple.com/support
          -6002F
    Does any one know how I can fix this without a recovery disc? Thanks

    I just want to add to this, in case someone else searches for this error on Apple Support (google doesnt cover apple support.. how clever is that?)
    I had the same error. And i had a Computer that had worked, with a SSD drive and 16GB upgrade done by the owner himself.
    I tried swapping with a Mechinal Harddrive, no luck.
    Kept the Mechanical drive in, and tried with some other Ram, it worked..
    So for me this error and after reading the other responses can be boiled down to a Harddrive problem or Ram issue.
    It was Ram for me..

  • I deleted all my playlist by mistake from itunes. tried copying the to on the go on ipod and thought it would copy it on to my itune but it didn't. does any one know how i can do this without redoing all my playlists. thanks

    I deleted all my playlist by mistake from itunes. tried copying them to on the go on ipod and thought it would copy it on to my itune but it didn't. does any one know how i can do this without redoing all my playlists. thanks

    Are the playlists still on the iPod? If so I can probably cook up a script to read them back into iTunes, or you can check the features of the various tools listed at the end of this user tip to see if you can find one that you want to use.

    totally agree.  at this point i could care less if "apple" supports it.  i'm not renting my ipod touch, it's mine.  i paid for it.  and i'm not asking to do anything illegal with it, all i want is to get rid of this POS ios6 and get back to being able to use my ipod touch the way it was before...working.

    I can not install new update in Photoshop CC, does any one know, how I can install the new update?
    Photoshop CC show me, if I look on "Help" -> Update, there is no update. But my actual license is very old....
    I tried it, to do it manual. But there is also some problem.

  • Does any one know how i can see the percentage of battery left on my iphone

    Does any one know how i can see the percentage of battery left on my iphone? at the moment i can only tell by looking at the small battery symbol in the corner of the screen. How ever this does not indicate a percentage!

    No, it won't.
    Apple is keeping that feature for the new iPhone 3GS ONLY.
    if you have an iPhone or an iPhone 3G, you will not get this feature.

  • Floating photos in 11 any one know how I can keep them in the workspace like elements 6

    floating photos in Elements11, does any one know how I can keep them in the workspace like elements 6 really annoying when looking under photoshop and seeing the photo blocks my desktop or something simular or even blocks the  tools bar opions  at the bottom, which also seems far to big any help in mmaking that smaller or putting it at the top like elements 6 .. ( think I may just go back tho that 6 )

    Hi Barbara B 
    Yes I have the photos floating but they float everywhere   but not with the workspace  If I  move the work area and the photo stays where it was blocking all under it  and as I said the photos tend to over lap into other parts as well when I move it in the work space   Yes i know as clear as Mud

  • Any one know how i can access my itunes store again on my ipad. I am recieveing a message saying ' cannot connect to iTunes store :(

    I am having problems in connecting to my itunes store on ipad 2 . anyone know how i can resolve this.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Just found out I cannot get iPhone unless I pay full price...very upset

    My wife and I just went to the Verizon Wireless store and were told that we could not get the iPhone without paying a ridiculous amount of money.  I had just assumed that current customers, who had displayed loyalty to their company, would be able to sign up for a new 2 year term to get the device.  Have others had this issue?  Is there any recourse for this decision? 
    In my opinion, this is a completely unacceptable decision by Verizon.  Basically, I am valued less than someone else who is coming to Verizon new.  Had I known when I completed my last upgrade that the iPhone was coming, I would have simply waited.  I think Verizon needs to answer for this...

    So you are telling me that the iphone costs Verizon $650 or $800?  I highly doubt that.....It would not be losing money if they allowed you to extend to a new 2 year contract now.  They would still get the price of the phone and the additional months of service....
    Ahhhhhhhhhhh but they would....All of us would want a new phone every six months at a discount and say, "Hey just extend the contract". We would have contracts that are 80 years long.
    You need to show your loyalty by completing the contract you signed.  When did you update your phones... One of you may be able to get one at two year pricing.

  • I had to reset my laptop and now iTunes doesn't recognise the computer so I can't synch my iPad. Any one know how I can get this changed?

    My HP Compct laptop was dying a slow death so I had to reset it to its original factory settings. Now iTunes thinks it is a different computer, any idea how I can rectify it?

    Yeah I have the original CDs. And I have backed up some stuff. But shouldn't things like safari and itunes be working anyway? The applications are there, they just won't open. Someone told me would lose my preferences and just had to update them again, but I can't do so cause safari doesn't work and internet explorer won't let me get on certain sites...
