How do I download iLife on my MacBook Pro (for free) after purchasing a new iOS device

Hello,
I watched the most recent keynote address just like everybody else and was very happy to hear that Apple was going to provide the new iLife and iWork software for free with the purchase of a new Mac device or iOS device. So, I went and purchased a new iPhone 5S. Now how do I get my free copy of this software on my MacBook Pro (Mid-2010) running Mavericks?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marcus

You must be running Mavericks and have purchased the iLife 11 apps, either they came with the Mac or from a purchased iLIfe 11 disk, in order to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5 for free.
The following came from this MacWorld article: What you need to know about Apple's free apps policy | Macworld
If you own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps (or v1 iOS apps) and you got them from the Mac App Store or iOS App Store: You should be able to download the latest versions for free by going to the app page on the Mac or iOS App Store.
If you own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps for the Mac but did not purchase them from the Mac App Store: You should be able to download the latest versions for free by going to the Mac App Store and tapping Update, though you may need to first visit the Purchases screen, where you might see a box called “You Have [number] Apps to Accept.” This ties apps you have on your computer to both your Apple ID and a hardware identifier on your computer, and it should allow you to download free updates to these programs from any computer associated with your Apple ID.
Some users (including yours truly) are reporting issues where the Mac App Store doesn’t recognize their copies; when they click on an iLife or iWork app’s price, they receive the following alert: “[App] is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store. Do you want to buy [app]?” Macworld spoke with an Apple spokesperson who noted that there’s currently an issue with some legacy customers, and the company is working on a fix. That fix appears to have been implemented; on Thursday, several users told Macworld that they were getting the Accept Apps prompt.
If you don’t own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps (or v1 iOS apps), or own older Mac versions: On the iLife side, you’ll have to buy iMovie and iPhoto at full price ($15 or $5, depending on platform). GarageBand is free for everyone to download, though the app does offer in-app purchases. Apple’s iWork apps are each $20 for the Mac, $10 on the iPhone or iPad.

How can i get imovie on my macbook pro for free?

i have a brand new macbook pro and i don't have ilife or iwork installed, does anyone know how i could get it without purchasing it?
thanks

Hello purple23
When you open the Mac App Store for the first time, it should ask you to except the purchase for the bundled applications. For iwork, you will need to make sure that you are running OS X Mavericks and as long as your Mac was purchased after October 22, you should be able to download those apps for free.
Alerts may occur when accepting bundled applications from the Mac App Store

how do I download iMessage to my macbook pro?

mr. lanny i went into the app store on my mac book pro, and typed in messages but that never came up
And it won't come up, becuase it's an app that comes with Mountain Lion and Mavericks. It's not something you purchase separately.
Mountain Lion is OS X version 10.8
Mavericks is OS X version 10.9

Am I the only one that see's the walled garden horror in that statement?
Go to a Office type store or online and buy a copy of Windows 7 Home Basic, Home or Pro (whatever) and stick the 64bit DVD into the computer.
You'll have to first learn about Bootcamp if your going to want to dual boot, it's complex and a hassle, but gives full hardware performance.
https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Another way is to first install VMFusion, Parallels or VirtualBox and then install Windows into that, Windows runs like a file in a window on OS X. You can run Windows programs in that, but it's not as powerful as BootCamp method, but more convenient for most normal (non-hardware taxing) programs.

after buying an iPhone 6. how do i install iWork's on my macbook pro for free?

My reading of the offer is the iOS versions are free with an iOS device, and the Mac versions are free with a Mac purchase.

Has anybody heard if Apple is going to fix the Logic Board on the early 2011 Macbook Pros for Free?

Has anybody heard if Apple is going to fix the Logic Board on the early 2011 Macbook Pros for Free? Of course my Apple Care warranty expired months ago, and this just happened. I've been looking online for solutions. But am wondering if anybody has heard if Apple is going to take care of this, or what others are doing to get Apple to repair this problem without having to pay $1,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know this is an old post but just in case it helps. They ARE fixing certain macs for free!

How do i download icloud on my macbook pro

How can I add icloud to my macbook pro, the icon is not in my preferences or apps.

You need Lion (10.7.2) or greater to run iCloud, if your Mac is up to it I would suggest that you upgrade to Mountain Lion (10.8.2) from the App store.

How can I transfer data (iTunes/iPhoto) MacBook Pro (Late 2011) to my brand new iMac 27" - Apple Support couldn't help me and did not make the promised call-back

I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro 13" and bought a brand new iMac 27" last week.
I tried to transfer data (musdic & photos) via Thunderbolt, but i did not run, my system always
tries to transfer data via WLAN, but that would last more than 80 hours.
I tried to get some help from the Apple Support, but unfortunately they couldn't help me.
A promised call-back from the next higher support-level has not been done.
Does anybody know what the problem might be.
The Thunderbolt-cable is brand new.

Instead of using Migration Assistant, the best way is to use the Target Disk Mode, so you will save headaches (Migration Assistant creates a new user with the transferred data).
To do this, just connect both Macs with the Thunderbolt cable, and then, start the MacBook Pro holding the T key, so a Thunderbolt or FireWire icon should appear on the display. After that, go to the iMac, open Finder, and the hard drive of the MacBook Pro will appear on the Finder sidebar as an external drive, under "Devices". Just access to it, go to the folders with your iTunes and iPhoto libraries, and copy them to the iMac

How do I download ichat onto my macbook pro?

I just got a macbook pro and I have imessages, not ichat. How can I replace it or download ichat?

HI,
Messages is iChat+
iChat "Stopped" at version 6 in Lion and Messages in Mountain Lion is version 7
It will do everything iChat did/does and it does the iMessages bit as well.
Upgrading form Lion normally has your Jabber and AIM valid IDs and Names in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars and enabled for Messages
They should also appear in Message Menu > Preferences > Accounts and have their "Enable this Account " box ticked.
Buddy lists are brought to the Front (and on view) from the Window Menu > Buddies (By Default a combined list)
In the Preferences > General Section you can unlink them by Unticking "Show all Accounts in One List".
The iMessages account takes an Apple ID and does not have a Buddy List
The Messages Window is a interface and tabbed Chat window.
Click the New Message icon top left
Then the Blue + icon top right that appears
Select Contacts
Select "Contact" that has either Apple ID or iPhone Number (they need to have registered with iMessages as well).

How can I download adobe reader on macbook pro 10.7.5

I have a Macbook Pro OS X Lion 10.7.5
Processor Speed is 2.4 GHz
Memory is 4 GB
Don't know Storage Capacity
My Problem is after downloading the Adobe Reader I press "FINISH" and the download seems to disappear. So I didn't press "FINISH" after one trial and it seems to be there but won't open.
How can my download be successful?
Thanks
Sandra

Is this the site that you're using for the download?
https://get.adobe.com/reader/
Note: you've posted your question in the wrong area, as it has nothing to do with "Mac Pros." And, you have a MacBook Pro.

How will re-downloading Mavericks effect my Macbook Pro?

I downloaded and installed Mavericks on my Macbook Pro months ago. It says its using the OS X Version 10.9.1. I accidentally clicked to download Mavericks again while browsing through the App Store. I currently have the download paused and I'm not sure what to do. My computer is already running the system and I don't see a way to stop the download. How will it effect my computer, if I let the download complete?

All that will happen if you let it complete is you'll get an application called "Install OS X Mavericks" in your Applications folder. You can delete it with no ill effects.

I've been attempting to download Mavericks since last nightto no avail. Is anyone else experiencing this? How can I download Mavericks to my macbook pro?

I have been attempting to download Mavericks since last night to no avail. I've clicked the Download and the Install Apps buttons, but nothing happens. It just sits there. I thought it was downloading last night since it read "downloading," but after more than 3 hours of that, I realized nothing was really happening. Today, I've been clicking the Install App button, but again nothing happens. Is anyone else having this problem? How do I get this new operating system on my macbook pro, OSX 10.7.5?

If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.
