Downloading the iWork and iLife suite on multiple Apple devices

Hi,
I bought an iPhone 5S recently.Downloaded the iWork and iLife suite of apps for free. I love them.
I also own an iPad-2. I would like to have these free apps installed there too. But when I visit the iTunes store, I see a price next to these apps indicating they are not free. How do I install this app on multiple devices, after it is installed on one of the recently purchased devices?

Hello sulibhavi,
The article linked below details how to download past purchases that are tied to your Apple ID.

Should the iWork and iLife apps not appear, you may need to verify that you have the same Apple ID signed into the iTunes and App Stores on both devices.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

How do you sync the free iWork and iLife apps to multiple supervised devices?

So, I have a number of 4th gen iPads that are eligible for the free iWork and iLife update. I downloaded all the apps manually to one device, but was wondering how you can do this with multiple devices at once. If I try to add the apps in Configurator it asks for codes, because we have these apps downloaded already and on older devices. Configurator does not dinstinguish between the older and newer devices.
I tried making a backup of the first iPad that has the apps and pushing that out on Configurator, but the apps did not transfer. Do these need to be side loaded? Is there another way? I am trying Settings > iTunes and App Store > Sync apps across devices, and having all ipads logged in with the same account. But, no sync of apps yet, and not even sure that will work...
Ideas?

Probably sould just do them individually.

I just bought a used MacBook Pro 13inch retina late 2013, which was originally bought in December, but for some reason neither the iWork or iLife suit seem to be free as advertised by Apple. Can I still get them for free?

As the title says, I thought that both suites are supposed to be free. Am I wrong or is there some way to still get them for free?
Many thanks for answers!

If the computer is registered with Apple as new from December 2013, then if you search for the apps to "buy" (Pages, Keynote, Numbers, iMovie, iPhoto, Garageband) in the App store, it SHOULD give you the price as FREE. If it does not, I suggest you contact Apple and ask their advice.
This is what Apple say about eligibility for iWork and iLife for free:

The only possible "glitch" in this is that you were not the original purchaser. Speak to Apple and see what they say - they may be willing to facilitate the download for you.

What is the best way to set up multiple Apple devices ?

Lime many of us here I have quite a few apple devices and I just wondered whet the best way to set them up with itunes / Apple
my Apple gear:
Mac mini 2.53 with Mountain Lion
Mac Mini 1.6 duo Snow Leopard
Iphone 5c (mine) running 8
Iphone 5c (wifes) running 8
iPad 2 (old) 64 GB running 8
iPad Mini 2 retina 32 GB running 7
g3 iMac (running Tiger) Juke box (semi retired ;-) now)
At the moment all devices (apart from new Mac mini 2 and the old G3) are set up under my Apple ID ... (1 Apple ID for all devices) ... obviously this has problems : my wife downloads an App it will appear on my phone; we have had to disable some of the messaging systems as at one point my wife was getting my messages et ... is there a better way to do this?

one drawback of same Apple ID for store is that what she downloads will automatically appear on all devices
Do you mean the visibility of the purchase in the App Store (under purchases) or the installation of the app automatically on the other devices?
In the App Store on the device (under iOS 8 at least on the iPad, I couldn't get it to work on my iPhone 5 under iOS 8), you can hide purchases...just swipe it to the left in the Purchased list. You can then unhide the hidden purchase(s) if desired by using iTunes on the PC/Mac under your iTunes account.
Auto App updates (Automatic Downloads) can be controlled under: Settings/iTunes & App Store, scroll down to Automatic Downloads and disable those that you do not want.

My iTunes music is on an old laptop which I cannot get access to. Is there a way I can still get access to my music via the cloud and use on my various Apple devices including a new nano that I have just purchased?

My iTunes music is on an old laptop which I cannot access. What options do I have to play my music on the apple devices including a new Nano that I have just bought?

The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

IWork and iLife purchase with codes not valid on the new computer?

Hi,
last year I downloaded the iWork and iLife suites on the macbook pro provided by my school. I'm not sure how it works but I had the iWork suite and I used to update it with my Apple ID, now I can't. I just got an old macbook air (sold before the apps were included for free) and I was trying to download the suite but it's not in the purchased apps and it's not free. I used to have them, do I have to buy them again?
Regarding the iLife suite the situation was slightly different. I basically downloaded them with some codes given me by the Apple support, do they work only for a single computer?
Thank you!
P.S.: In case I can't download them again, do you know if Apple offers discounts on its apps for students?

Apple does not offer education discounts to individuals for software.
If the Mac belonged to the school, the apps also belong to the school. If you now have your own used Mac, then you will need to buy the apps for yourself.

IWork and iLife apps are _not_ showing free in the AppStore anymore. Why?

Just uppgraded to iOS 7.0.3 on my new iPhone 5s. iWork and iLife apps are _not_ showing free in the AppStore anymore, only the Buy (for a price) option is there. Why? These apps used to show up free for me earlier, but i didn't install them due to the reported system instability they caused. That instability is reportedy addressed in iOS 7.0.3 but the apps are not free anymore, are they? Looks like it's not what was advertised...

Ok... rebooting my iPhone 5s one more time after upgrading to iOS 7.0.3 solved the problem - after the reboot all the iWork and iLife apps are showing free in the AppStore again... Good deal!

Can I disable the fonts that come with iWork and iLife?

I use the most recently updated versions of Mavericks, Adobe CC and Fontxplorer.
When I am working in Photoshop, the list of fonts shows about 50 fonts that I never, ever, ever use. They come from iWork, iLife and the foreign language fonts that come with Mac. I suppose this is a minor problem, but it seems like something obvious that could be fixed.
Is there a way to either:
a) Get Photoshop to hide those fonts
b) Get Fontexplorer to hide those fonts from Photoshop
c) Disable fonts like Blackmoor, Schoolhouse, (many others) and the 8 fonts that include the word "Sangnam"?
THANK YOU.

Thank you Tom.
I've found the foreign language fonts in Fontexplorer. That's great.
Now, as for the iWork and iLife fonts... some of them don't show up anywhere.
For example "Blackmoor" isn't in the system fonts list.
Spotlight can't find it either....
But there it is, working, in the applications.

Can I download the iWork suite (Pages numbers, etc.) for free to my already bought ipod?

I want to download the iWork suite for free. If my iPod is not new, can I?

No, y have to pay. Free only for new purchases of iPods (and iPhones and iPads)

Recently Downloaded OS X Mavericks, why aren't iWork and iLife upgrading?

Upgraded to Mavericks, but iWork and iLife apps aren't upgrading!? WHY??!! Please help!

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version. I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues. During the installation process it gave me an error message that said:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer. I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I did not leave anything out from the error message. It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..." Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
How do I repair this issue? I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse. I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

Hi lustyln,
I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
For reference, here are your product specifications:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01867418&lc=en&product=4043282
I hope this helps.

How do I get free iWork and iLife on 5s. I didn't download at setup

Somewhat old iPhone 5, gonna upgrade to ios 7. asking about iWork and iLife.

i was watcing the event last night where tim cook revealed the iphone 5s and 5c and he was saying that iWork suite apps and iLife suite apps are gonna become free. this morning i check the apple website and was looking at the specs of the iPhone 5s and when i scrolled all the way to the bottom it said something about devices activated after sept. 1, 2013 will have iWork and iLife available to them...
does that mean that i have to get a new iphone and activate it.... im really confused about this....

Good for you. But, that's NOT what the footnote says. The footnote states Apple devices activated after 9/1 that can run IOS 7.0...nothing about when purchased. Since all iOS devices that can run iOS 7.0 will require "activation" after being updated, I think the footnote needs clarification from Apple, and apparently, I'm not the only one that feels so. This is the second post I've seen regarding this.
Like I said, we'll find out when iOS 7.0 is released, unless Apple gives clarification before hand.

Problem of reinstallation preinstalled iWorks and iLife of a rebought Mac Mini

I bought an old Mac Mini at ebay. iWorks and iLife are preinstalled. But when I restored the Mac, I didnt have these softwares anymore.
I went to App Store, it said that this Mac Mini has the softwares to be updated (iWorks, iLife) but I cannot download them because they are associated to the Apple ID of the previous user.
Have you guys ever encounter this problem ? Do you know how to solve it ?
Many thanks

Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion
If you erase install OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion installed, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start (up) from OS X.
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.
