How can I update iWork using the Mac app store?

I bought iWork on DVD but would like to get the updates via the Mac app store. How can I do that?

HI Judy...
You can only update software from the Mac App Store if the that is where it was purchsed and downloaded from.
Since you installed from the DVD, your updates should be available from your Apple menu > Software Update.

  • CAN NOT UPDATE ANYTHING ON THE MAC APP STORE?

    When I try to update my apps it say's We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)
    - I STILL HAVE UPDATES!
    HELP!

    Not the OP, but I've been having this problem since June (with the exact same error), and logging out and back in hasn't helped.
    Helpfully, the store app opens a pop-up every 2 weeks or so to let me know that there are updates I can't access. It's super annoying.

  • HT1444 How to install a new OS without using the Mac App Store

    I am running OS 10.5.8 on a refurbished Macbook Pro. I am not running an OS early enough to be able to use the Mac App Store. Everytime I go under Software Update it says everything is up to date. I would like to put the latest OS on this computer, but must install 10.6 first (apparently)?? My only question is how?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    To have the App Store, you need Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and you can't get it from Software Update because it's a paid upgrade. Buy it from the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Then, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and/or Carbon Copy Cloner, insert the DVD and follow the steps to upgrade to Snow Leopard. After upgrading, open  > Software Update to install 10.6.8, so you will get the App Store.
    To upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, just open the App Store and purchase it. Check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com When it finishes downloading, just follow the steps to upgrade to Mountain Lion. You can check the OS X Mountain Lion requirements > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs

  • HT5525 I can't find the updates tab in the mac app store (just updated iTunes)?

    I'm trying to purchase a book of photos through iPhoto - it tells me to update iPhoto before I can order the book. My macbook pro is running OSX Lion so it says I can update iPhoto "in the updates tab of the mac app store"... but when I go to the app store in iTunes, there is no updates tab. I then tried the second update option, via software update under the apple menu, but that just updated a bunch of other firmware, not iPhoto.
    Can anyone help point me in the direction of the iPhoto '11 update please?

    You don't use iTunes for that.  Launch the App Store application
    that's in your Applicaitons folder, login with your Apple ID and you should be able to update iPhoto.

  • Can't update daisy disk from Mac App Store

    Can't update daisy disk from Mac App Store!! What can i do? AppStore wrote You must login in to @@@@mail, but I login to my account!

    You must sign in to the App Store with the Apple ID you used to install the app. If you don't recognize the ID, see below.
    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select

    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.

  • Cannot connect to; Software Update, iTunes or the Mac App Store.

    I updated to Lion on launch day and had problems with  Software Update, iTunes and the Mac App Store connecting to the internet.
    I was completely connected to the interent, so people told me to wait it out as the servers were probably struggling.
    However, it's been two weeks and I still get this message:
    It's the same with iTunes as well as the mac app store.
    I'm at a loss as I can't update my computer.
    Anyone else have the same problem?

    same problem here 
    This solution work fine with me :
    1. Systems Preferences -> Network
    2. Under "Wi-Fi", click on the "Advanced" button.
    3. Under the "DNS" tab, add the Google Public DNS - 8.8.8.8
    4. Click OK, then click Apply.
    5. Turn WiFi OFF, then turn it back ON again.

  • Does purchasing a Maverick Mac give you iWork on the Mac App Store?

    Hi everyone!
    I have not purchased iWork from the Mac App Store before, but I've seen it and used it on iPhone and I prefer its simplicity to Microsoft Office. Plus, I give presentations frequently enough and I like Keynote a lot more for all its usability and effects.
    I'm thinking of getting another Mac soon, and I'm glad to hear that the new Macs running Mavericks come with iWork. However, I'm wondering if I will have iWork as under my Purchases in the Mac App Store by default after buying the new Mac, since they come together. That way, I'll be able to install it on my other Mac, since the Mac App Store allows you to install your purchases on all the devices you own.
    Does anyone know whether I'll be able to do this? Will iWork be put under my Mac App Store purchases since I will own it as a result of buying the new Mac?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, once you have the iWork apps installed on the new Mac, the apps will be available to download and install from the Purchases pane on your other Macs.

  • I bought The Djay app, for iPad, but I can't download it on the Mac App Store, whitout having to pay the 20$ why is that?

    I bought The Djay app, for iPad, but I can't download it on the Mac App Store, whitout having to pay the 20$ why is that

    Because the developer needs to create and maintain the two versions separately and has chosen to charge for the Mac OS X version.

  • Can use the Mac App Store behind a HTTP/1.1 proxy

    We have an HTTP/1.1 proxy at work, and when doing a download from the Mac Apps Store, the downloaded data comes through as "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".
    According to the HTTP 1.1 specification (the request is made as HTTP/1.1), the client MUST be able to decode the chunked transfer encoding (see the end of section 3.6.1 in rfc2616).
    Am I missing something? Or is there a way to make the Mac App Store use HTTP/1.0, or support the standard?
    Thanks.

    No. Only apps bought through the MAS can be updated by the MAS.

  • Bought iWork 09 physical disks; installed on MacBook Pro; App Store recognizes it.  Any way to download it to another Mac using the Mac App Store?

    Hi.  I bough iWork 09 and installed it on my MacBook Pro.  When I launch the Mac App Store, it recognizes that Pages, Keynote and Numbers are all installed. Unfortunately, I've now lost the discs and I now want to install it on my Mac Pro. Is there any way to do this through the Mac App Store?
    Thanks..

    No, only the version bought through the MAS is avaiable from the MAS for download to other Macs.

  • Can't update to Lion: Serious Mac App Store problem

    I tried twice to update my OS (10.6.8) to Lion via the Mac App Store. Both times I got a failure message shortly before I had downloaded the 3,74 GB, saying the app can't be downloaded and that I have to restart the downloading (original message in German: "Die App kann nicht geladen werden.

  • Why isn't safari 6.04 showing up in the update section of the mac app store?

    i am running the latest Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3. 
    I ran Software Update and and update under the Mac App Store but there
    is no Safari 6.04 but only an update for iPhoto.  And there is not Java update
    from Apple either.
    What gives?
    it showed for some people and for some it didn't.
    I wonder why?
    I hope by the end of the week I can be able to download it from
    the Mac App Store.

    devnull66, you are a star!
    I switched from a my standard account to an administrative account and checked for updates and then they showed up in the App Store. I didn't update yet though. I switched back to my standard account and checked for updates again to see what would happen and there they were so I was able to complete the updates from my standard account.
    In my case I also just upgraded from Lion to Miuntain Lion this past weekend. I just did an upgrade in-place over top of Lion, usually I do clean installs with major upgrades. When I switched to the Administrative account, this was the first time since the upgrade, there was a dialogue box on screen asking me if I wanted to log in to my Apple ID. I just clicked continue in this case to continue to my administrative account with out logging in.
