I read that I can have iworks for free on my iPad if I own a copy for my computer. Is this correct, and how do I download it without being charged?
There really is nothing more to say than what Allan has already said, but to explain just a little further, what you may have read is that once you purchase an iOS app in the app store, you do not have to purchase it again if you need to download it to another iOS device. In other words once you buy the app, you can load it onto unlimited iPhones, iPod Touches or iPads.
You must be using the same iTunes account that you originally purchased the app with in order to download it again. But as Allan said, just because you have it on your Mac does not entitle you to download it free to your iPad. -
I need to how can I have Mac OS Lion, as I bought my Macbook Pro in beginning of June 2011 from Apple Store in US.
The serial number of my product is C0*******H2M. Please confirm me that I can have it for free, and how could I install it. Many Thanks.
<Edited by Host>Sorry, but that opportunity has long passed. Your options now are:
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
7. Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion. -
My ipod touch 4g is missing alot of important apps like settings, music, itunes store, app store and many more and i was wondering if there is any way at all to fix this for free or less than 70 dollars
First try using Spotlight Search to find Settings. If that works go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Settings. If you can't get to Settings:
Try a reset:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't work do a restore from backup or to factory settings:

I am having trouble setting up icloud on MAC. In system preference it is listed as mobile me, it asks for member name and password. It also has a learn more button under "try mobileme for free". I am not getting anywhere
It's evident that you are using Snow Leopard or earlier (or very early Lion) since you have the now obsolete MobileMe preference pane.
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further. -
Hello, I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out. Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible. I have a Match subscription and Match is working. If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them. I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
ThanksI did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

Because you meet the minimum software requirements on your PC and not on your Mac
Is there any way to use it wothout having to pay?
No - not if you do not meet the minimum requirements

I got an Elements 5 CD unopened for free from a business shutting down. It says "Bundle Only. Not for resale." Am I breaking a licence by using it? I am not the original owner and it was transferred to me, but for free.
Just as the title states. I just want a painting program and may resort to Gimp or DogWaffle if this is not legal for me to use. Thank you.Nobody?!

How do I get a serial number for Audition 3 downloaded for free from Technet ??
How do I get a serial number for Audition 3 downloaded for free from Technet ?? I.ve been going around in circles with Adobe for over an hour !!
Most downloads are free, but serial numbers usually cost money. I don't know what Technet is, but if they are not Adobe and are offering something for free then you probably want to pursue them instead of Adobe.

i just got my macbook pro a week ago and i was told that i will get the lion for free, if this is true, then how do i get it.
Hi,
Not that's not normal and is one of the Problems I was having before Restoring as New...
Just make sure you Sync ALL your important Info... Contacts... Music... Etc... to your Computer...
and then do a Restore as New...
i was a bit reluctant at First, because I hadn't done it before... But it was So Easy and am Really Glad I did...
Cheers,

No outside NID - does Verizon install this for free?
My friend has an issue with his phone line (line is constantly ringing busy when calling it); However, his DSL works without any problems. When trying to troubleshoot, he discovered that he doesn't even have an outside NID box. The wire runs down from the pole, through conduit (going through the foundation) and then wired under his first floor bathroom plumbing.
My question is, will Verizon come out and install a NID for free, or is there a charge for this? I've never seen a house without a NID, and my house is older than dirt (was built in 1900) and it even has a NID box.On the day that the update was available, I updated my phone, and when I tried to tether I got the "pay $20 and you can use this feature" page. I learned that if I switched from my unlimited plan, I could use it free. I switched. It still took me to the "pay $20" page, so I called customer service. It took them some digging to figure out what the problem was, but they fixed it on both of the Trophies on my account, and it works fine. Whatever it is, it would be nice if Verizon would make a system-wide fix so that individuals who make the switch to the shared plans don't have to make the phone call, but for now, if you call customer service, they can get you going, and it is free if you've switched to the shared data plan.

HT1657 Can I download the SD version of a movie that I rented in HD for free?
I rented a movie in HD. After the download startes, I reallize that I want to have the SD version as my internet is to slow. Can I just get the SD version for free, for the same time preiod?
When I click "rent" it tells me that my credit card will be charged.If those films are only in HD in the store then you will only be able to get the HD versions - what options do the films have against them in the store (HD only, HD and SD ?), and (if the SD version is in the store) if you go to the Purchased link Quick Links on the right-had side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes do you get the option of downloading an SD version of them ?
The 'sync SD' version setting only works if you have the SD and HD versions in your iTunes library, if you don't then it will only sync what you have i.e. the HD version.
