I bought a Mac a week ago. How do I get the new iWork for free?

The title explains it all. I bought the new 13" MacBook air in a retail store last week, and when I tried to download the apps from the Mac App Store, they cost money. How do I get them for free?

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.

  • 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?

  • I bought the Mac version of Premiere Elements, can I get the Windows version for free or cheap with my serial number?

    I bought the Mac version of Premiere Elements, can I get the Windows version for free or cheap with my serial number? I'm about to migrate back to PC soon and I'd love to not have to buy the program again since I just bought it. Under my order history though it only shows it for Mac so I wanted to make sure.

    The boxed packaging is not sold by Adobe direct. If you want to explore that type of purchase which offers the perk of a Windows and a Mac installation disc, you need to purchase from an authorized reseller who is not going to offer you "upgraded pricing". The seller would be its own entity with its own pricing and own return/refund policy. Sometimes the authorized reseller price may be less than the Adobe"upgraded pricing".
    Did you purchase your Premiere Elements 13 Mac from Adobe direct and are within 30 days of purchase? If so, you can contact Adobe Chat Orders to ask for return/refund. And, then you can explore the authorized resellers for pricing and availability of the box packaging. Maybe check out the pricing all around before making any final decisions.
    Please review and consider.
    Thank you.

  • How long it will take for apple to verify my info to get the new software for free?

    how long it will take for apple to verify my info to get the new software for free?
    i have submit my request since 6 hours, is that normal??

    from what i hear, it takes a minimum of 72 hours before you hear back from Apple.
    but because there are a lot of people are wanting to get their free upgrades, it might take even longer now.
    good luck - just be a little patient and your turn will come soon....

    Your description of the problem is a bit confusing.  Do you have ONLY ONE Apple ID or do you have MORE THAN ONE?

    Connect the AC charge to the system. Battery will charge to 100%.
    But it is very bad to drain the battery to Zero. So don't make a habit of doing that.

  • After migrating a new Mac Book Pro from Time Capsule, I noticed that I lost a group of Favorites on the older iMac. The puzzling thing is that the Favorites are on my iPhone--not the old iMac or the new Mac Book Pro. How do I get the Favorites back?

    If you are syncing using iCloud, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (computers) and checking Safari. If it is checked, try deselecting it, wait 10-15 seconds, and then check it again.

  • Imovie-how do i get the new version on my new mac???

    Sounds strange I know but when I transfered the contents of my old imac to my new imac via the cable it has also transfered across the old version of imovie. If I set up a new user I can open the new version of imovie but my profile doesn't recognise the new version of imovie. Does anyone know how I can get the new version of imovie onto my current profile which was imported from my old imac?

    Hi John,
    The Outlook Plugin for Adobe Send supports Outlook 2010 and 2013.  There are no plans to make it compatible with Outlook 2007, since it's a much older version.

  • My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?

    My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?

    You must update your iTunes software to 10.5 first then you can upgrade to iOS 5.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    According to Apple the iPod touch 3rd gen can update to iOS 5.
    "iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices."
