I cannot download iWork/iLife for free

I purchased iphone 5c in Dec 2013.  Used a brand new apple ID--never have used the apple id on any other devices.  I have registered the product.  I did a hard reset.  I have cleared out the cache.  I have signed in and out of the app store.  iWork and iLife are still showing a purchase price.  Why can't I get them for free.  I tried all the tips I could find on the community board.  anybody else have a better idea
thanks in advance

I recently encountered this when I purchased a new iPad Mini with Retina.
Using your iPhone, open the App Store and navigate to the "Productivity" category. Under "Collections" you will find a graphic for "Pages, Numbers, Keynote." If you click that, you should be able to get them free.
Hope this helps.

  • HT1688 Cannot download iWork apps for free. I have iPhone5s.

    A month ago i got iphone 5s through AT&T and i was trying to download the iWork apps but its asking me to enter the credit card information.
    I was wondering how i can download these apps since they are free for new iphone 5s and 5c customer and i am a new iphone customer.
    Appreciate your help.

    Your iTunes account associated with your Apple ID requires a valid form of payment to download apps. Even free apps require a valid form of payment even though you will not be charged for them.
    When you find the iWork apps you want to download they should be listed as Free. As long as you see that, you will not be charged for them.

  • Can I still download iwork apps for free with a new apple id?

    I bought a new ipad,iphone and mac. all activated for the first time with the same apple id. i can download all iwork apps for free at that time because the devices were bought after iwork is free for "new" devices. later on i'm thinking of creating a new apple id, can i still download iwork apps for free with the new apple id on all my 3 devices?

    Once they've been downloaded they can't be downloaded again using a different Apple ID.

  • Have a iPhone 5s and can't Download iwork apps for free

    I bought my iPhone 5s since 1 year (after september). There i get the iWork apps for free. But now they cost money.
    Some Information :
    Now I´m on iOS8
    I have changed one time my email-adress
    My iPhone 5s is registered on my apple id
    I hope you can help me, because i have tried so much...

    I had the same problem on my iPad Air: i deleteded the apps before IOS8, then after the upgrade iWork was not on the cloud for free anymore. Thanks to your question I remembered I changed my appleID after the download of iWork. So I had to login with my previous appleID on the appstore and i could download them again for free. Maybe it works the same for you (but I'm not sure since you say your iPhone it's registered on your appleID). Give it a try.

  • Download iWork'13 for free to new iMac

    Hello!
    Few days ago I bought iMac from my friend. Programs from pakage iLife and iWork was free for my friend cuz he bought this iMac after october 22 2013. So they should be free for me too, but I can't download it for free from Mac Appstore. How can I solve this quesion?

    Any application obtained from the app store is not transferable. So, although he might have obtained them at no charge - or, for that matter, paid for them - it does not matter; you will need to pay for them if you want them.

  • IWork & iLife for free

    I got a new MACBOOK Air today and downloaded the iWork and iLife Apps for free, does that mean I will get them for free on my iPhone that I got in January 2013.?

    Yes, even if you sign in with the same Apple ID. Again, we're talking about two completely operating systems here and the version for iPhone (iOS) is not available to you for free.
    You can sign in with your Apple ID on any Mac (OS X) and download them for free, just NOT the iOS version for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

  • With new macbook I get iWork & iLife for free just for new products ?

    Why I  didn't get for all my devices?

    Even though the iWork for Mac & iWork for iOS apps now share similar file formats & user interfaces, they are separate programs created for separate operating systems. Activating a new iOS device after September 1 gets you the iOS versions of iWork & iLife. Purchasing a new OS X device after October 1 entitles you to the free OS X apps. Also, if you already purchased iWork '09 apps for the Mac you can update to the new versions for free. The same goes for the previous versions of the iOS apps. You can then install the apps on all of your devices with the same OS using your same Apple ID. BUT, getting the apps for one operating system does not get you the same apps for the other OS.

    for information on that program and how to get the apps. If you run into difficulty call AppleCare, you have 90 days of free telephone support and they can easily assist you on this.

  • Didn't Apple say that those who bought a new iDevice after October 1, 2013 could also get iWork and iLife for free on Mac?

    I thought I read that anyone who bought a new iDevice on or after Oct. 1, 2014 could get the iLife and iWork apps for free on their iDevice and the same Mac applications would be free for any Mac with the same iCloud account.  I purchased an iPad Air in January and got those apps for free on it, but when I bought a used Mac locally I can't get any of those apps for free?  If it is possible to get those iLife and iWork apps on my Mac that way please tell me.

    Didn't Apple say that those who bought a new iDevice after October 1, 2013 could also get iWork and iLife for free on Mac?
    No, they said if you bought a new iOS device on or after September 1, 2013, the iOS versions would be free. And if you purchased a new Mac on or after October 1, 2013, the Mac OS versions would be free. The Mac & iOS iWork & iLife apps are separate applications for two different operating systems. Unless you purchased a new Mac after October 1, 2013, you will have to purchase them for your used Mac.

  • HT201304 I cannot download any apps for my iPhone . I once purchased a game on a prepaid Visa card , wich has no money on this car,. I do not wan to purchase anything I just want to download free apps

    I cannot download any apps , including free apps. I did purchase a game about a month ago using a prepaid card. That card I no longer use. The App Store declined the card. I just want to download free apps without te App Store wanting my credit card information . Help!!

    i don't think you can use prepaid cards that aren't itunes gift cards for purchases in itunes anymore. if you don't see the option 'none' under payment options, then you need to add a card to the apple id. once you add it, you should then see the 'none' option and can choose not to use that as your payment method under settings > itunes and app stores > tap on your apple id and choose 'view apple id' > payment options

  • Used Macbook Pro 2013 - iLife for free?

    I want to buy a used Macbook Pro late 2013. Can I download  iLife and iWork for free?

    If the computer is registered with Apple as new from December 2013, then if you search for the apps to "buy" (Pages, Keynote, Numbers, iMovie, iPhoto, Garageband) in the App store, it SHOULD give you the price as FREE.  If it does not, I suggest you contact Apple and ask their advice.
    This is what Apple say about eligibility for iWork and iLife for free:
    http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/
    The only possible "glitch" in this is that you were not the original purchaser.  Speak to Apple and see what they say - they may be willing to facilitate the download for you.
