I already bought Pages on the Mac App store but now I am being asked to purchase again.

I had to wipe my hard drive due to unresolvable issues with MBP 17" Early 2009. Now Pages is gone (Numbers, Aperture, iPhoto, Keynote are all still there). I am logging in with correct Apple ID. What else should I check?

Yes, I bought all three on the app store when I moved from iWork to the individual purchased apps. I've downloaded and re-downloaded Pages when I have needed to upgrade computers, etc. I even have documents on this laptop from the most current Pages iteration, but no Pages.
Thanks though

iTunes is not the Mac App Store.
In your dock it would be this icon:

How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?

How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?
Can I simply download it and not install?
What if the App gets updated before I download it?
Why? Well, I am very busy and wish to install at my leisure even though I have purchased the App (required at a specific day in the month in order to appear on my business accounts).
Thanks.

There is a difference in what Kappy stated and what you stated. A major paid upgrade (v2.x to v3.0), yes, costs money, as it would in any other delivery stream. Updates (v3.0 to v3.1) to a a major version are free.
Most apps sold through the Mac App Store (MAS) are the type that use the simple drag & drop installation. Those are downloaded directly to the designated apps folder and installation is done. Large pro-type apps download an installer to your Apps folder. Those you can install at your leisure. The MAS does not have a lot of apps using this type of installation.
Be sure to always backup your MAS purchases, because there is no guarantee that the app will always be available for download in the future and it is your responsibility to archive copies.

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it and save to do later?

I'm getting the free Lion download for new Macs from the Mac App Store, but am not ready to install it yet. It appears that apps (including Lion?) from the App Store automatically install themselves. Is there any way to save an App Store download (.dmg?) for later installation without having it automatically install? I asked Apple Support via chat, and they said it could be installed later but couldn't tell me how.

The Lion download is different than small apps. What you get with Lion is an installer. But be sure to make an extra copy because after using the installer it deletes itself.

Is the Pages in the mac app store the same as the one in iWork?

I like the look of Pages as a change from MIcrosoft Word. wondering if I should pay $AU129 and get the whole iWork package, or whether it's better to get the individual products at $AU $21 on the mac app store.
If there is any difference, how significant is it?

Example:
somebody has Lion on a partition, Snow Leopard on an other one (or on an external bootable HD).
With the iWork package, he must install several copies of the Frameworks.
With the MAS ones he may work without them. The apps installed on the Lion partition would be usable fromthe other system.
This is why I feel that the MAS versions are a best choice for standard users.
For me, having the FrameWorks out of the apps is interesting because I customize some resources like the names of the Spreadsheet functions. Apple refuse to put accents where they are supposed to be because Excel doesn't use them. As some names embed accented chars and other don’t it’s boring so I edited the resource and now I know that accents are required by every functions. With Shift locked we get these chars with a single keypress so it's really comfortable.

I purchased djay on the Mac App Store, but I would like to transfer it to my iPad. Is this possible?

I bought the djay app for my MacBook, but now I wanted to transfer it to my iPad. I was just curious if this was possible? Cause I don't really want to have to pay for it again. Thank you!

Hello,
Sadly you can't do that.
The App Store in iTunes is for iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) and the Mac App Store for OS X.

I reinstalled tiger on one iMac, but want to re-upgragde it to Lion. I don't have the discs anymore, but I installed Lion from the Mac App Store. Now that I'm back to 10.4, I don't have the App Store. I have a new iMac with Mavericks, but it won't let

I have a 2006 iMac that I've upgraded to each new os as they came out. I just wiped it (for the kids to use, I have a new iMac with Mavericks) and reintalled Tiger from the original discs. I want to get it back to Lion - which I purchased from the Mac App Store. But Tiger doesn't have the App Store and I don't have the discs anymore from the intermediate versions. I tried downloading Lion from the new iMac but it's not available...
Any ideas?

To get to the App Store, you need to upgrade the Tiger machine to Snow Leopard.

I need a newer version of pages. You can download the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store.

When I try to open up a page file, I am told to download a newer version, but when I go to Apps it tells me I am already instaled. So now I can not open any page files. Please HELP!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

IM TRYING TO DOWNLOAD AN APP IN THE MAC APP STORE BUT I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"

i am trying to update to osx lion but keep getting "there was an error in the app store. please try again later. (4)" when i click buy and type my password in.

Ok..
Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo may help this.
Restart your Mac after installing the combo then try downloading Lion.
It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.8
BEFORE you do this make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available spare
From here > Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
Read this article before upgrading to Lion > Lion upgrade questions: Apple Support Communities

If I bought Pages, Keynote, and Numbers from the Mac App Store on my Mac, can I get those programs on my iPhone?

Ok, I bought iWork from the Mac App Store on my iMac. I just wondering if I could get those three programs on my iPhone 5 for free since I already bought them.

The iVersions are slightly different than the desktop version.
They are not as powerful as the desktop version. In my case, I do all my document creating on the desktop (create the attendance spreadsheet and form) and edit only on the iPad (take attendance for the day). The commands needed to create the attendance form, for example, on the iGadget do not exist in the iVersion.

Repurchase updates from the Mac App Store

Due to some technical problems, I had to repurchase a Mac. When I launched the Mac App Store, I wanted to redownload Pages, but it tells me that I have insufficient credit and that I need to indicate a credit card. However, I had previously updated Pages through the Mac App Store. Does anybody have an idea?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Not enough info. What do you mean repurchase a Mac? You bought a different Mac?
As long as you are signed into the Mac AppStore with the Apple ID that originally purchased Pages, then it should be listed on the Purchased pane of the MAS and available for download.

I don't know how to reinstall the Mac App Store after I deleted it on my Mac!

HELP! I deleted the Mac App Store because it hasn't been working for a few days now, every time I tried to download an app it said "Connection Failed" my internet is working and connected properly, I type in all the correct info for my apple ID/Password, it wouldn't let me download any apps and this has gone on for a few days already, so I decided to delete the Mac App Store and reinstall it, but I can't reinstall it, I have to download the whole latest version again, which I can't because you download it thru the Mac app store! By the way i have the latest version for mac, i think heres my version: Mac OS X version 10.9.4, now i don't know what to do..... I'm i gonna have to take this to the apple store and ask? If so what will they say? Or does anyone have a solution? Please leave a response has this happened to anyone else?

OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X Heres the link if anyone else had the same problem!! This is if you deleted not only the Mac App Store, but iTunes, Calendar, whatever came with the Mac (Apps that came already installed on the Mac), if you deleted one of those then you have to reinstall the Mac OS, Note: This one is for Mac OS X (Maverick) my version is 10.9.4, go to that link and follow the instructions if you have Mac OS X (Maverick). Other help: Common Mistake: If you delete the app from the dock then just go to finder and applications folder and drag the app back onto the dock(it was just deleted from the dock NOT your system/computer). Hope that helps others who had the same problem.

How do I register my iLife CD - installed iMovie to the mac App Store?

Hey, so I bought apps that were in CDs such as the iMovie, iPhoto, Aperture, etc. How do I register it to the new Mac App Store? I want to link it to my Apple ID. The App Store doesn't recognize the apps, Please help me,
Thanks,
Kevin

Only the components of the iLife suite of software are available from the Mac App Store.
The updates for your iLIfe bundled software will be available from your Apple menu / Software Update, not the MAS.
No need to register or link anything. You do not have to re purchase.
However, if you buy apps directly from the Mac App Store, you can re download without having to buy again.
How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store

Problems with the mac app store login/ yosemite installer download

I am trying to download the yosemite installer from the mac app store, but can't seem to log in. I receive no error message. What could be causing these issues? I am using a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.8.

Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
Do not change your settings.

I already bought Pages on the Mac App store but now I am being asked to purchase again.
