HT202794 iWorks NOT FREE

I bought an iPhone 6 Plus on the weekend and instead of starting it as a new phone i restored it from my previous backup. Now i want to get iWorks and it turns out that the apps aren't free. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

Can I install iWorks free in a new Mid 2012 MBP?
It was adquired in Argentina the last week on December 3rd in a oficial reseller.
I couldnt do that yet. Can I do or the model is too old?

Why is iWork not free when I update to ios7

I purchase my iPhone 5 last Seprember 7. I've read that iWork will be free for all iOS device purchase after September 1st. But why is it not downloaded in my iPhone when I updated to iOS 7? When I check in the apple store it is sti $9.99. Have I misread something?

No, JLupina, you did not read incorrectly.
iWork is free when you purchase a new ios device beginning Sept 20.
Downloading the new OS is not a purchase, and certainly not a purchase of a new device.
Them's the rules.

HT4623 IWork not free for iPad Air?

Trying to download iWorks at the App Store but it's asking for $9.99 each? I was under the impression that these three apps where supposed to be free for the new Air?

Try restarting your iPad. That often gets the device correctly registered and will allow the iWork apps to then be downloaded for free.

Iworks not free on ipad

I recently updated my iPad to iOS7, and I am trying to install iWorks on it for my students to use. I was under the impression that iWorks (I really just need Pages) was free for devices using iOS7. However, when I go to the App Store, it is still showing $9.99. Anybody know what's going on with this?
Thanks!!

Updating desktop iWork - not free ????

I have iWork already on the desktop. Seems like I have to pay once again to update the desktop suite / iWork. Can that be true ?
Best Michael

You'll pay more than one way if you do update.
However if you are determined to do it:

I upgraded my ipad 2 to ios8 now also the iwork and the ilfe apps are not free why???

i upgraded my ipad 2 to ios8 now also the iwork and the ilfe apps are not free why???

The offer of free apps is tied not only to the version of iOS, but the purchase date of the device: Free Apple apps for your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with iOS 8

IWork apps is not free on my iPad

The apple website says that all iwork apps are free for all iOS 7 devices, but why it's not free on my iPad?

IWork is not free when you buy an imac ?

I do not understand.
I bought a new imac last week and I thought that came with iWork for free.
But when I launch Pages, Numbers or Keynote, I get a window that asks me to buy a license number or try the software for 30 days.
Please help !

Oh the real problem is something else!
You have Pages 5 in your Applications folder.
You have Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder.
When you try to open a Pages 5 file with Pages '09 it tells you you need to upgrade, because Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 files.
Just open the right files with the right version.

Why isn't iWork apps not free yet after IOS7 update ?

Apple did say that IWork would be free, but it is not free as IMovie still has the original price, is it for certen devises or is there a problem on the store?

The advertisements leading up to the release of iOS 7 let me to believe that I work would be free for everybody. Apparently that is not the case. I was a little disappointed to find out but now it is only free for new devices activated after September 1 however upon looking at the reviews and how horrible they are I'm not disappointed at all in fact you couldn't pay me to use iWork so thanks but no thanks Apple once again.

I bought student mac air through university account, Iworks were included when I purchased mac air. But there are no iworks and It's not free when I tried to download from App Store

I bought student mac air through university account, Iworks were included when I purchased mac air. But there are no iworks and It's not free when I tried to download from App Store. OS was OS X Mountain Lion 10.9 When I received it. Is it because of OS? I upgraded to OS X Mavericks right after I got it.

Today, I went to the mac store and asked the staff about above issue. Apple obviously sent me a mac air which was manufactured before October 2013 and therefore, iworks and OX Mavericks weren't installed. I have refund for around £45 to purchase iworks. However, I wasn't happy with what Apple actually did. I asked for replacement and refund the one I got and getting the new one from store so I can use mac straight away. however, the refund takes 5-7 working days. The staff on the phone told me if I have enough money I can just buy the new one in the store and get refund later. So I gave up! I was so disappointed with Apple. Even though I use the mac now, this was not the one Apple promised when I purchased online. if anyone would like to buy a mac, Please go to the actual store. DO NOT buy a mac through MAC ONLINE STORE!!! I strongly recommend! I feel like I wasted my time because the company doesn't keep its promise.

IWork is not free on a brand new iPad Air

I bought my iPad Air just a week ago.
According to apple the iWork apps are free to all ios 7 compatible devices activated after 1st of September, but I still have to buy because I used backup straight away from my old iPad before regestrating it as new in iTunes. So how do I get iWork for free now?

Have you tried logging out of your account on your iPad and then logging back in and seeing if they then show as free in the App Store app ?

MacWorld e-mail on ms apps had a rebuttal saying iwork now free, but the app store shows it at $30 for the 3 apps, so what's the story?

So I got my Mac World e-mail, it talked about the free apps from MS (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote), so I downloaded them, in the comments section of the article someone that didn't like them said there was no need as iWork was free and no subscription needed.
Anyway, after letting the ad for MS 360 play out, word opened, but it wouldn't let me access my skydrive, now called onedrive, it was grayed out and needed the 360 subscription, needless to say I deleted all of the office apps and based on the comments section of the article I went back to the app store to get iWork.
They are not free, each app is $9.99, according to the app store, so tell me is there something I'm missing, there were others saying it was free, so what is the truth here?
Currently I use Textilus for creating documents, well one or two, writing on the ipad is horrible, and it still doesn't recognize my printer or any documents I save in Textilus. I have to save the page as a picture, open up the Epson app, select photos, and print.
I was hoping something useful would be available, but it looks like that's not going to happen.

Beginning last September (I beleive) the three iWorks app are free only for qualifying newly purchased devices (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5913)
And yes, on the iPad, MS office apps can only be used to read files unless you have an Office 365 subscription.
Can't respnd to what Textilus does or doesn't do when it comes to printing. That might be a question for the app vendor.

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 wit out 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.

If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks wil I get iWork for free, If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks wil I get iWork for free

If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks will I get iWork for free.

If you buy a new Mac with Mountain Lion, any included software is free and can be redownloaded from AppStore for that machine only. Some software only gets reinstalled if OS X (only) gets installed over itself to fix issues. See #8 Step here.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
If you upgrade to Mavericks usually only OS X itself is changed (sometimes the hidden User Library is also), all the software (and user accounts) also carries over (compatible or not), and Apple's software is upgraded.
So if your new Mountain Lion Mac comes with free iWork, then when you upgrade to Mavericks it will still be there.
If your new Mountain Lion does not come with free iWork, then it won't magically appear for free if you upgrade to Mavericks.
If you need a free Office suit, I suggest you look at the donationware LibreOffice.
You will likely need to control key or right click to "Open" LibreOffice to approve through OS X's "Gatekeeper".
You will need to manually update it also, as it's not on AppStore.
https://www.libreoffice.org/
Benefit of LibreOffice is it's completely cross-platform compatible, so you can share working files with Windows and Linux users, which you can't with iWork.
You also should learn Microsoft Office when you have the funds, because it's standardized in the business world.

I just bought the new late 2013 iMac. Can I get the new iWork for free?

I just bought a new late 2013 iMac. Can I get the new iWork for free? I updated it to Mavericks also. The Mac App store is showing $19.99 for each iWork component (Pages, Numbers, Keynote). I also bought the previous iWork version, if that matters. Free updates for iPhoto and iMovie seemed to show up with no problems. Maybe these are just glitches that will clear up in a couple of days?

Hi. If you want it to get updated, this should take care of it.
1. Uninstall iWork from your Mac.
2. Do a fresh install of iWork from DVD.
3. Install iWork update from Apple Downloads (direct link here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563)
4. Sign into the Mac App Store, and check for updates. It should now show up as a free update. You may have to give it a few minutes (i.e. 10-15 minutes).
I've been a Windows user for years, so I know all of the tricks by now. I had hoped I would not need this knowledge for a Mac, but oh well...
Good luck.
