IPhoto upgrade, do i have to pay for it ?

Hey Ho chaps, i have been having a right merry go round today, simply helping a lady upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks so that she can use Photo Stream on her new iPhone 4S
it has NOT helped that she didnt know what her computers password was etc. but i do NOW have Mavericks installed and it is currently Indexing for Searches !
So i try to configure iPhoto to enable Photo Stream, it looks as if i have to PAY for it ???? £10.49 !!!
I have Photo Stream on my Mavericks but i dont remember having to pay for iPHOTO !!!!!!
This lady was told by the local Apple Store when she got the iPhone that to get Photo Stream on her Mac Book Pro she would have to upgrade her Snow Leopard to at least LION, which would have cost her £15 !!, but to pay for iPhoto ???? when it should come pre-installed !
However today, she found that LION is no longer available on the App Store or anywhere else for that matter !.
So she got MAVERICKS for free and let me take her Lap Top home with me to Backup Snow Leopard and Install Mavericks.\
Only to find she gotta pay to get a suitable version of iPhoto for PHOTO STREAM !!!
AM I ON THE RIGHT TRACK here, or have i been de-railed ?
Tim

Clarify for your self:
iPhoto 11 is a marketing name for iPhoto 9
iPhoto 09 is a marketing name for iPhoto 8
So, what has she got.
iPhoto 11 is around a while and early versions of it run on 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8. So it's quite possible that a machine that came with 10.6 and iPhoto 11 would have had all these features as the app was updated. But if that's iPhoto 09 then you need to purchase.

HT4906 I just upgraded iphoto, but it is version 7.1.5 (and called iPhoto 8). Do I have to pay for iPhoto 9 in order to use photo stream?

To use Photo Stream, you will need iPhoto 9.2 at least. This is a major upgrade from iPhoto 7.1.5 and you will have to buy it.

Do i have to pay for the upgrade on garageband when it was pre-installed?

Everytime i open garageband it tells me there is an upgrade available. My question is do i have to pay for upgrade because it was pre-installed in my macbook air. The little rectangle thingy you click to purchase where it says the price or free, just says upgrade but off to the side of the page in the information box its price says $14.99. so im confused on whether or not the upgrade is free. The pre-installed is GarageBand '11 version 6.0.3 the upgrade is to GarageBand '11 6.0.5

New Macs come with iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand for free. In your case, the price that appears on the side of the page is only the price of the application for Macs that didn't come with GarageBand '11 or for users that want to upgrade from an older GarageBand version, like '08 or '09. You have GarageBand '11, so press the Upgrade button without worrying about paying for the application, and you will get the most recent GarageBand for free

I can not upgrade from version 9.1.5 to 9.2.3 on my IMAC free?? I have to pay for this upgrade?

I can not upgrade from version 9.1.5 to 9.2.3 on my IMAC free?? I have to pay for this upgrade?

That is a free update (not an upgrade) what happens when you try? How are you trying to update? did your Mac come with restore disks or did you download software form teh App Store? Have you logged onto the App store and checked purchased software for updates?

I wiped my MacBook Pro due to a problem, will I have to pay for iMovie or iPhoto that was originally installed on my older MacBook Pro ?

Due to a problem with my older MacBook Pro I had to wipe it clean. Now I no longer have iPhoto or iMovie , will I have to pay for those programs ? If so, are there any older versions available I can download for free.

a brandnew Mac (=aka after a clean isntall), should be registered with an AppleID.
Then, you're entitled to download the pre-installed apps for free from AppStore, just log-in with that Apple-ID...-

My itunes library has organically grown from more than one itunes account but all now on a separate computer. If I upgrade to iTunes match will I have to pay for each account?

My itunes library has organically grown from more than one itunes account (all paid for by me) but all now on a separate computer. If I upgrade to iTunes match will I have to pay for each account or just once, for the computer?

No. Provided the computer that you use to upload / match your Songs is authorised to play all of the Songs all works well - once complete you can download Song files that will play on your libraries / other computers without each computer having to be authorised.

HT202879 Other Word Processors than Pages? & why do we have to pay for an upgrade that is incomplete?

I am very unhappy.
In order to access my documents from iCloud I have to upgrade to Mavericks (free, alright) and the new Pages, for which I have to pay.
The new Pages (and Numbers etc) does not have the same functionality as the one I have been using - yet I have to pay for it. Alright, Apple promises to upgrade in the next six months and add the new functionality. This is not good enough.
This was a very unpleasant surprise today - when I went to my document that I have been working on on my iPhone and my Mac at various times during the day and the Mac one had changed to 'Untitled 47' and the version on my iPhone would not open on my Mac unless I upgraded to the new Pages - $19.99 - and to OSX Mavericks - free - but I don't want to upgrade yet. And I don't want to pay for a new version of Pages that clearly does not have the same functionality(according to the user comments and the apple page that this discussion is about).
I have praised Apple to high heaven for the functionality of iCloud. But this really really annoys me.
If there's anything I hate its a company I am relying on forcing me to upgrade before they've sorted out the bugs.
I am definitely considering changing to a different company's word processor - if only they had a word processor that I could use on my Mac and iOS devices.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks Tom! Following your advice I posted a (shorter) version at feedback.
And thanks for those hints. Yes I've been looking at those ones.
IA Writer and Byword both can use the iCloud.
Writeroom only syncs using Dropbox.
Of course they're very minimal apps compared to Pages, or Word.
I feel very depressed.
Perhaps I will have to use one of these and then import into Word for final editing.
Believe it or not, for a minute I thought MS Word might be a contender for iOS syncing - because there is this thing called Office 365. But look at the reviews.

I really don't want to deal with all the problems of updating to Mavericks just now.

I just bought a Mac Book Pro and why do I now have to pay for the OS X upgrade?

I just bought a Mac Book Pro about a month ago and now I have to pay for the OS upgrade!!! Is there anyway to avoid this charge?

Click on the  in the top left corner, then About This Mac. The version number will be listed right under OS X.
If it is something like 10.8.3 or 10.8.4 (anything starting with 10.8.x), you can click Software Update to download 10.8.5 for free.

FMS3.0 - FMS3.5 Have to pay for the upgrade?

Do you have to pay for the macbook upgrade?

Hey guys! I recently bought a used MacBook os x 10.5.8, I changed the admin user ( http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-73393-change-mac-admin-password-without-the-d isk ) And now I want to access the mac app store, but now I hear that you have to upgrade your mac to do that, but before upgrading I have one question: Do you have to pay for the upgrade, because people say that you have to pay 30$ and on the youtube I see that you can easily press the "Software update" and you just folow some further steps such as ''next'' , wait few minutes and it's done ! So I don't get it !!! or maybe if you entered the credit card details on iTunes it will charge you automatically ? Yeah, that's my question

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course not. You already purchased iPhoto and iMovie, so you can reinstall them for free.
If you purchased them from the Mac App Store or you got your Mac after July 2011, open the Mac App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and redownload them. Note that the latest iPhoto and iMovie need OS X Mavericks.
If you purchased them in a DVD, insert the DVD and install them. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest version.
If you got your Mac before July 2011, use the Applications Install Disc to install iPhoto and iMovie.

You're kidding me... I have to pay for Acrobat X upgrade TWICE???

I own CS 5 and purchased the Acrobat X Pro upgrade in December. Now I see CS5.5 prominently features Acrobat X yet there is no discount for people who already OWN Acrobat X and paid $199 for that privilege just 4 short months ago. The customer service rep I spoke to said there was no discount for people who already bought Acrobat X Pro and, sensing my rising blood pressure, suggested that I could sell the previous Acrobat X Pro upgrade to offset the cost. Yeah, why didn't I think of that. ...jerk.
So, people, don't ever let Adobe tempt you with an "off cycle" Acrobat upgrade if you own a CS. You'll just have to pay for it twice. Sorry Adobe, I will hold on to my money and wait for CS 6, if that is what you really want me to do.
Very disappointing. And a lesson learned.
Vince

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Users who have Acrobat 9 Pro as part of the CS5 collections cannot use the upgrade for the point product.
I don't understand... I don't need and would'nt have any use of a second copy of Acrobat Pro. I aldeady have One, paid 6 weeks ago (on the 12/02/2011) at 199$. If I remember correctly, the Acrobat 9 Pro I had was bought as I upgraded from CS3 to CS3.3. And I upgraded to CS4, then CS5... And I saw a touring show from a team from Adobe, in Montreal about all the marvelous thing Acrobat X was to do... last december. So I decided to pay the 200$ for the upgrade.
I have been pouring good money in the last 5 years into Adobe's pocket... and I was not complaining because I did feel there was some fair play : I was not forced to upgrade and when I choose to, I had for something my money.
Now there is something fudged into this Acrobat Pro thing that is sometime include and sometime not include into the bundle... What do I have now, with my lonely upgraded copy of Acrobat... ? Something I will just throw away when I upgrade to 5.5 or 6 ?
This is not the kind of service and intelligence I am accustomed from Adobe. Too big ? The machine already too hungry ?? It's a shame.
