Can you get iLife for free on a used mac?

I just bought a used macbook pro yesterday and i was dissappointed to see that it didn't have iLife on it. Doesn't Apple claim that all new macbooks come with iLife? The macbook pro i have is a recent model, the macbook pro is from 2011. I thought iLife should have been on it. i'm very dissapointed because im into songwriting and I wanted to use garageband. My laptop came installed with OS X 10.8.3 so i think it should've had ilife with it. is there a way i could get ilife for free?

1. This applies to new computers. The previous owner of an used one may have deleted it.
2. If it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, install it from the computer's original disks, or if desired, erase the drive and install a new OS. If it shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, open the Mac App Store, sign in, and click on the Purchases tab; if you aren't given the option to accept it, contact Apple.

  • ITunes purchases, can you get back for free if Mac computer crashes?

    I just had to reinstall my Mac OS X on my iMac, because my system crashed. (I know...macs aren't suppose to do that!) I lost all my purchased iPhone apps and purchased ringtones, and music. Is there a way to get them back without having to purchase them again?

    Redownload the applications normally, and use this form to submit a request for the remaining content. Otherwise, try these instructions. If neither of these methods work, you can't.

    The audio inputs on Macs are line level inputs and not mic inputs.  You need a mic with a built in preamp (battery powered) or more conveniently a USB mic or bluetooth headset.

  • My iPod speaker is broken, i bought it one year ago, can you fix that for free?

    my iPod speaker is broken, i bought it one year ago, can you fix that for free?

    You are not address ing Apple here, we are all just users like yourself.
    If the headphones work but not the speaker:
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If the speaker still does not work, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. The Apple warranty is for one year unless you purchased the optional Applecare extended warranty
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • If i buy a macbook pro 2 months before the new operating system comes is released, can i get it for free?

    If i buy a macbook pro 2 months before the new operating system comes is released, can i get it for free?

    Generally once Apple gives the official release date, then Macs have become available for up to date pricing.  As long as just the season has been stated, there is no guarantee that Macs purchased during the season in question will get up to date pricing.  So watch http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/ or http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/ the day that the release date is announced.   Past performance is no guarantee of future returns.  Thankfully since 10.7's release Apple's full fledged releases have only been $20 USD, and updates are free to the full fledged release.  I.e. 10.7.1 to 10.7.5 are updates to 10.7.
    10.8.1 to 10.8.4 are updates to 10.8.  It was only with 10.6 and earlier the distribution for each full release was at least $99 and up to date were around $20 going back to 10.2.  10.6 is though available on the Apple Store for only $20.

    Sorry, no. They are different versions for different operating systems.

  • I got my MBP on june 16 so how can i get lion for free?

    i got my macbook pro for birthday and i read that if you purchased it after june 6th you can get lion for free but how do i do that?

    The wording on this page seems convoluted to me:
    "Users must request their Up-to-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request."
    If I purchased my shiny new Macbook Pro on June 11, according to the first part of the statement, I must request my Up-to-Date upgrade by July 11, yet the second part of the statement states I will have 30 days from Lion's official release date to make my request.
    I am hoping the second statement is the correct one. It would be helpful if Apple fixed this inconsistency...

  • How can I get imovie for free on my iPad?

    So at my school everybody can be able to get imovie for free but for me it doesn't. It keeps popping up to have to buy it and I was wondering how I can get it for free?

    The iWork apps for a Mac and for iOS devices are different, they are different operating systems.
    If your iPad was activated after 1st September 2013 (and you are using the same account that was used to activate the iPad) then you should be able to download the apps for free in its App Store app. If it was activate before that date (or you are not using the same account) then you will need to pay to download the apps.

  • I have bought Keynote on my ipad can i get it for free on my mac?

    Hi, I have bout keynote, pages and numbers on my Ipad 4th gen. Should i be able to get it for free on my mac?

    Not unless the Mac OS X version would normally be free. There's no credit in the Mac App Store for having purchased the iOS version of an application; the developer needs to create the two separately.

  • How Can i get iTunes for My Ibook Clamshell Blueberry Mac OS 9.0 besides Ebay

    Hi im The Son Of the Creator Of Gizmosapien, a podcast made in garageband and my internet is out im tethered to my iphone 5c and i dont have a airport card for my ibook so How Can i get iTunes for My Ibook Clamshell Blueberry Running Mac OS 9.0 besides Ebay? Please Help.
    Sincerely yours Son Of Gizmosapien.
    P.S. i have a Macbook Air 2011.

    Sadly the iTunes Store was not released until Mac OS X. You'll need Mac OS X 10.1 and iTunes 4 minimum to get to the iTunes Store on your iBook G3 and the ability to download any podcasts from the store.   Since Mac OS X 10.1 wasn't that stable, and few software titles exist for it, I recommend upgrading to a minimum of 10.3.9 which supports iTunes 7.7.1.
    Your Blueberry iBook may or may not be compatible with 10.4, as this tip explains:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2541
    If you can get 10.4, you can get iTunes 9.2.1.
    You will not be able to sync your phone with the iBook regardless of Mac OS X version.
    Your iBook is too old to install an Airport Extreme card, so it can't securely hook up wirelessly to your wireless network.  You'll want a ethernet WiFi bridge that supports a minimum of 802.11g to hook up to the iBook via ethernet.  An Apple Airport Extreme base station can act as one as well via its LAN ports.
