Do I need to buy Pages and Numbers apps on both iMac and iPad?

I have just bought iMac. I already have iPad3. I want to have Pages and Numbers on iMac. In order to occasionally work on the documents I create on iMac on my iPad, do I need to also purchase Pages and Numbers apps on my iPad (i.e. pay twice)?

iOS and OS X are different operating systems and they use different applications, so you have to purchase Pages and Numbers for Mac in the Mac App Store in order to use them on the iMac.
You already have them for the iPad, so you can install it on any other iPhone, iPad and iPod touch free of charge, but not on a Mac because you need another version. Also, in order to sync the documents between your iPad and your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud, and mark "Documents & Data", and on the iPad, open Settings > iCloud, and activate "Documents & Data"

  • Email and calendar app for both MAC and PC

    I have purchased a HP MediaSmart Server for my small home-based office. There will be 4 computers which access the server-2 macs (all running OS 10.5) and 2 PCs (1 running Vista and 1 running XP). Does anyone know of an email and calendar app which can be accessed by all computers? The server runs on MS Windows Home Server.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    sorchard –
    Depends – if you are planning on connecting to an Exchange Server then I would suggest that you install Crossover (www.codeweavers.com) on your Mac’s and then Office 2003/Outlook. I am connecting to an Exchange Server running Windows Small Business Server 2003 and have not had any problems using Outlook and sharing Calendar data between my XP and Mac systems.
    If you are not planning on using Exchange and your mail usage is not that demanding (less than 20 messages daily) the you could use the basic Mail clients that come with OSX (Mail) and Windows (Outlook Express).

  • I bought "Pages" "Keynote" and "Numbers" Apps for my iPad and iPhone

    I bought "Pages" "Keynote" and "Numbers" Apps for my iPad and iPhone and now I have a new iMac but the Apps didn't install? I thought when you bought an App that is on one device it would be available on all other devices? The App store is now wanting me to pay for the Apps again? Is this right? Do I have to buy another  version of these Apps for the iMac?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    That is determined by what type of disk that it is. It may be a disk that only allows you to install Windows on your Dell computer and would not allow Windows to be installed on a Boot Camp partitition or as a virtual machine in an app such as VirtualBox on your Mac. If that is the case, you would need to purchase a retail Windows install disk.

  • I'm a Dropbox user and I migrate between my iMac and a Toshiba notebook.  Is there Apple software that will work on the notebook allowing me to open Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents that I've placed in Dropbox?

    I'm a Dropbox user and I migrate between my iMac and a Toshiba notebook.  Anyone know if there is Apple software that will work on the Toshiba that will allow me to open Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents when I access them in Dropbox? 
    Maybe I should just always export from Pages into Word  (and likewise for the other types) before I upload to Dropbox?  I hope not!!

    If you don't want to export files and consider the Microsoft formats to be your basic working format, then you need to consider either using MsOffice for Mac or LibreOffice instead of the iWork suite.
    You could always run a virtualised OSX on the Toshiba, but I don't think Apple will appreciate me telling you how to do that.

  • I have the new ipad / ipad3 . I upgraded to ios7 but I didn't get pages and numbers apps free, but my colleague who is using ipad4 with ios7 it is free. more over my ipad is not showing airdrop facility. please help me out in how to rectify those

    please help me out somebody. I need pages and numbers apps immediately. I have ipad3 with ios7 running in it. Apple announced iPhoto, iMovie, Keynote, pages, numbers all are free for ios7 users. but for me it's not like that. shall I download or should I wait. in my ipad airdrop also not coming. but my colleague has both apps also comin for free and airdrop also coming who has ipad4  with same version of ios7.0.2

    They are free to iOS 7 users who have activated their NEW device on Sept 1 2013 or after. They are NOT automatically free with iOS 7.
    AirDrop is only compatible with iPad 4th gen and iPad mini. iPad 3rd gen and below do contain the necessary hardware for AirDrop. Also, AirDrop is only compatible between iOS devices. You cannot AirDrop between iOS device and Mac OS.

  • In the numbers app, using the "date and time" function, is it possible to remove the time? I need to put together a list of dates, but I don't need or want times.

    In the numbers app, using the "date and time" function, is it possible to remove the time? I need to put together a list of dates, but I don't need or want times.

    When formatting your column to date/time, pick Date & time, and then pick the letter i in the circle to the right. Then scroll down and pick "No time"

    Glenn,
    I tried upgrading to leopard, even bought the software and brought it home but it wouldn't let me. So i went back to apple, gave them the specifications of the machine and been told my machine is simply too old for leopard. This is incredible to me because it really isn't THAT old (i think just a little over 6 years maybe) and yet i'm left out on the curb when it comes to using newer apple products. I understand technology moves on but the mindset that i am supposed to dump a perfectly working machine after a couple of years or face not being able to use any other apple product is counter to what thought apple was about.

  • Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open?

    Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open? Is this a common issue?

    Hi Madhattanite,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  When did you purchase your Mac?  The first thing I would suggest is to review the information in the resource below for the Up-To-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
    Once Yosemite is installed, you should have the option to Accept the Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps in the Mac App Store Purchases pane.

  • TS1702 I have purchased and installed Facebook, pages and numbers apps. However I am now unable to open any of these apps. When I click on the app the GUI just bleeps. Any suggestions please?

    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or....
    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.
    Or....
    Try downloading another app - any free app is fine. See if that resets the other apps.

    Hello r253,
    The following troubleshooting steps can help get your documents to reappear on your devices.
    Documents I've updated on my Mac or uploaded from iCloud.com don't appear on my iOS device
    If you're using an iWork for iOS app (Pages, Numbers, or Keynote), check the iCloud system requirements and make sure that you're using the latest version of iWork. For third party apps, check the documentation that came with the app, or check with the app developer to make sure the app supports iCloud. App Store application descriptions often indicate whether the app supports iCloud.
    Go to Apple () menu > System Preferences on your Mac. Click iCloud and confirm that you're signed in to iCloud and the Documents & Data checkbox is selected.
    After opening your iOS app, wait a few minutes for the documents to appear. Your iOS device may not have connected to iCloud since changes were made to the document at iCloud.com or on your other devices.
    Try creating a new document on your iOS device, then check again for the documents from iCloud to appear.
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data and confirm that Use Cellular Data is turned on.
    Confirm that you're connected to the Internet by checking for an Edge, 3G, 4G, LTE, or Wi-Fi icon in your device's status bar. Test your connection by opening apple.com in Safari.
    Try resetting iCloud Documents & Data service.

  • If i buy a game or app from the itunes and a new version of that game or app comes out do i need to buy it again

    if i buy a game or app from the itunes and a new version of that game or app comes out do i need to buy it again

    It depends on how the developer chooses to release the new version. If they release it only as an update to the existing app in the iTunes Store then no, you won't have to buy it again. If they release it as a new app - usually they'll change the name slightly - then you will have to buy it again.
