My Macbook Pro 15" with Retina Display did not come with an "iWorks" app.

As I read the specification of my Macbook Pro 15" with Retina display, my laptop, it states that Macbook Pro 15" with Retina Display comes with Pages, Keynotes, and Numbers, app for free along with "iLife" apps. But Apparently my laptop didn't come with "iWork". Is there anyway I can I get it for free, or should I buy it in app store to have it?

Hi Astronap,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
iWork applications for Mac including Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the Mac App Store for qualifying Mac computers. The specific information from the articles I have pulled out for you, but is located in the smaller print toward the bottom of the article.
Apple - Pages for Mac
Pages is free on the Mac App Store for qualifying Mac computers purchased on or after October 1, 2013. OS X Yosemite required. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.
Cheers,

  • I want to use my iPad(4) as the remote for controlling my powerpoint presentation that is on my macbook pro(2012 no retina display). Not sure which is the best way to do so or which app to use.

    Going to be connecting my macbook pro to a projector. in the room there is no wifi either)

    Keynote Remote, but you will need wifi. You can set up an ad-hoc wifi network from your Macbook itself ("Create Network" from the Wifi menu), which the iPad can connect to.

  • I am planning on purchasing an Apple 13in MacBook Pro through AAFES online (Army and Airforce Exchange).  Do all MacBook Pro computers without retina display come with a SuperDrive?

    Do all MacBook Pro computers (without retina display) come with a CD/DVD drive?

    Up to the Mid-2012 models, yes.

  • Playing xbox 360 on macbook pro 15 inch retina display with hdmi

    Is it possible to be able to plug my xbox360 into my macbook pro 15 inch retina display with the hdmi cable and then play it on my computer because i have an hdmi cable and dont want to go buy the eye tv for another $150 and if it's not possible does anyone know of another way for me to be able to play my xbox360 on it

    No. The HDMI port on the MBP-R is an output port used to send images to an external monitor, not an input port.
    As far as I know, the only Mac that has ever had a video input capability is the iMac. Some years' models have had the ability to act as a monitor for another computer. I don't have one, but it doesn't look like current iMacs offer this feature (based on a quick skim of the Apple Store pages).

  • Just brought home newly purchased MacBook Pro 15"/Maverick/Retinal Display. To my astonishment, there is NO DVD slot! No one in the store told me about this missing feature. Intolerable, How does one install software? Insert CDs to copy for iTunes?Do I ha

    Just brought home newly purchased MacBook Pro 15"/Maverick/Retinal Display. To my astonishment, there is NO DVD slot! No one in the store told me about this missing feature. Intolerable, How does one install software? Insert CDs to copy for iTunes?Do I have to purchase an external DVD drive? Is one even available? What a crock!

    I’ve owned Macs since 1990 (IICX my first), mostly desktops. Having had DVD/CD drives in all my previous laptop Macs since 2001 -  (2) G4 Powerbooks,  A 17” Mac Book Pro - and also inspecting a friend’s year-old Mac Book Pro which had the DVD slot - unless someone told me at purchase, I had no reason to know that the Retina display version of the 15” had NO DVD drive. ANYHOW, I fully intended to buy the non-Retina display version, because it was cheaper. Unfortunately by the time I got to the Apple store they were no longer selling the non-Retina display version; all versions were ONLY with the Retina display. And the fine distinction of a DVD vs. a non-DVD drive was not pointed out. So now I have to shell out an additional $80 bucks for an external SuperDrive.

  • Why doesn't macbook pro 2.3GHz Retina display have hard drive configuration?

    When I'm about to order the macbook pro 2.3Ghz Retina display in the apple.com website. there are no hard drive configuration. the hardware configuration are only memory, apple usb super drive and apple thunderbolt. but no hardrive. why?

    Because that is the base model of the Retina Edition.
    The Retina Edition doesn't come with a Hard Drive.  It uses a Flash Drive.
    If you want a larger flash drive, you have to step up to the next model.

    I have a dent on the lid of my MacBook Pro 15 inch Retina Display and I was wondering if there is a chance of replacing the silver lid without taking the complete top lid off?

    Sorry, but you will need to make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. They can answer your question.

  • My Macbook pro 15,4 retina display have dense horizontal lines

    My Macbook pro 15,4 retina display have dense horizontal lines and one vertical line in left side corner..

    Sounds like a GPU, Display or Display connection problem.  An appointment at an Apple store genius bar is the best option.  Your MBP is probably still within the warranty period.

    I recently bought a new macbook and installed Acrobate Pro. My settings/preferences did not come over and I do not have the same style options for my signature.  It now only allows me three options and the style I have been using for the last year is not there.  How do I add additional options and get my preferred signature style back?

    Hi Amanda ,
    Which version of Acrobat are you using?
    Which signature style are you talking about?
    You can go ahead and try uninstalling and reinstalling it and see if that works for you .
    Use the cleaner tool to uninstall it .Here is the link.
    Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs
    You can refer to the following link to re install it .

  • 23" Display did not come on after disconnecting

Only other connection to display is USB from Apple keyboard. Any suggestions regarding what I might have missed? Upgraded iOS just last week and system appeared normal.

  • How to factory restore a new Macbook pro w/o retina display?

    I have found no useful information. It came with no restore disc, and I did the second option after you restart your macbook while holding Command +R.  After I did the second option which took hours, my hard drive wasn't factory restored... This is new macbook pro w/o retina.

    Follow the instructions here - How to prepare your Mac for sale - even if you aren't selling your MBP, this will guide you through the steps you need to take to get to the 'factory defaults' option.
    Good luck,

I checked system details and it said my battery is in normal condition and that my charger was not connected. Please help.

  • 15 inch Macbook pro w/o retina display or 13 inch Macbook pro with retina display?

    Want to get a macbook for university. Going to be used primarily for work and casual use. Have a 32inch full hd tv to connect up to for watching movies etc, which is the better choice?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    I recommend a non-Retina MacBook Pro unless you need the Retina display. MacBooks Pro with Retina display are very limited and you can't replace anything if you don't want to void warranty. Also, repairs are more expensive, so purchase AppleCare for your MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    Go for the 15-inch MacBook Pro if you need good GPU performance. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display has got an Intel HD Graphics 4000 as the graphic card, and it's not supported in Adobe apps, for example. Also, apps that require GPU performance won't work properly.
    If you are not going to do any heavy task, the 13-inch MacBook Pro should work

  • Brand new macbook pro 2012 (no retina display) 95% battery health with 5 cycles? is that okay?

    I know, another battery related question. I have recently bought a brand new macbook pro (no retina display), I calibrated the battery at least twice since Ive had it and it states that I am at 95% battery health with only 5 charges. Is that normal or should I bring my macbook in to be checked? Id like to get this settled before school starts in September since I depend on my macbook a great deal.
    thanks !

    Full cycle? 100%, of course.
    How you get there is another matter. It can be a battery killing full discharge that will certainly ensure a brief life. Or a leisure set of discharges down to 20%, 30% or more. When they all sum up 100%, winner! You've got a cycle!!
    Apple recommends you enjoy your Mac and don't obsess too much on battery stuff. Just exercise the electrons every so often by bringing it down to, say, 20% and charge it back up. Going all the way down to the bitter end, when the Mac forces itself to sleep is sort of ok too and won't do (too much) damage, provided you don't make it an engrained habit. We all forget the power brick occasionally and get caught out in the wild with whatever charge was left inside.
