Is there a way to re-download iWork from the app store even though it came pre-installed on my mac before the App store existed?

I bought my macbook with pages '09 pre-installed. I can find my disk anymore. Keynote and Numbers are working properly, but I want to reinstall pages because I am having a few minor issues with it. If I look at pages in the App Store, it shows that I would have to re-purchase it.

Short answer, no.
Fuller answer, the two are not the same and are not interchangeable. Yes, if you want the MAS version, you will need to buy it. But you should be able to hunt down the trial of the disk version out there on the internet, install it and activate it with your serial number. There is a thread somewhere in this forum from last year that has a link. I hunted it down for someone in a similar situation.
UPDATE -
I found the thread;
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20238439
The trial file still appears to be downloadable. This time make sure that you keep backup copies. It may disappear without notice.

  • Is there a way to recover my info from my hard drive even if it won't power on?

    Is there a way to recover my info from my hard drive even if it won't power on? When plugged in my computer does not power on and I am only seeing a dim amber light that is blinking. Is there a way I can recover my hard drive before sendin my computer in??

    This is not something for the faint of heart. What Ogelthorpe is suggesting is that you open up your computer, remove the hard drive and then install it in a "shell" that allows you to use it as an external hard drive. This "shell" is called an enclosure. You can purchase cheap USB enclosures many places, such as at Best Buy, which has the advantage of speed if you have such a store near you. However, you can purchase better quality enclosures online, from such places as Other World Computing.
    If that sounds like more than you feel comfortable with doing, pay someone else to do the job for you. Call your local Apple Store and see what they will do for you. I'm not actually sure how they handle such issues.

  • I have an old sony Mavica  MVC-CD500 is there any way I can download pictures from cd to Lion

    I have an old Sony Mavica   MVC-CD500 -  is there any way I can download cd to imac running Lion

    If you use iPhoto, just insert the CD into your optical disc drive, wait for iPhoto to see the disc and open on its own.
    iPhoto will load previews of all of your images from the disc.
    In the lower right hand corner of iPhoto's application window, click the Import All button and iPhoto will begin downloading the images into iPhoto.

    What version of iPhoto are you using?

  • Is there a way to stop downloaded files from automatically opening?

    When I download unarchived image files through a web browser (eg: from yousendit) they automatically open up in Preview.app. I thought this was an annoying Preview thing so I changed my .tif and .jpg files to open with Photoshop...which now launches and opens the downladed files. Is there a way to supress this behavior?

    If you're using Safari as your web browser go to "Safari -> Preferences...", select "General" from the toolbar and uncheck the "Open safe files after downloading" box.
    Other browsers should have a similar setting in their prefs.

  • I had to reformat my hard drive on an older Desktop running Windowx XP. The IE browser is not working now. Is there a way I can download Firefox onto a flash drive from my new desktop and install it on my old desktop?

    I had to reformat the hard drive on my old desktop. It is runninf Windows XP. I can't get Internet Explorer to work so I can connect to the internet via wireless. Is there a way I can download firefox from my new desktop onto a flas drive and then install Firefox from the flash drive onto my old desktop? If so, please explain the procedure.

    Go to a suitable download page eg: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html]
    Download firefox, use the save option rather than install.
    Save it directly to the flash drive, or to somewhere on your computer and copy/move it the flash drive.
    However if IE is not working possibly you have some sort of setup problem so firefox may not work either.

  • Is there a way to watch downloaded shows back to back??!! Help!

    Is there a way to watch downloaded shows back to back??!! 'm a Mom to a toddler and the consecutive "play" option apple once had was a life saver when taking long trips in the car. I don't need to play movies, my son lacks the attention span to follow right now but disney junior shows keep him content with lots of singing and colors. I was able to press the "play" button on the screen and it would play all shows under a specific title. That button is now missing under the ios7.1.1 "upate". I don't know why apple would remove ths option but itabsolutley aggravating. Shouldn't updates make the iPad better not worse. The update was bad enough on the iphone but I'm so fed up with apple I'm thinking about switching to a better product. Apple really stionks now. What happened to being intuitive and user friendly?? DOES ANYONE KNOW SOME NOT SO OBVIOUS WAY TO PLAY SHOWS CONSCUTIVELY???!!! Please help!!
    Sincerely,
    A Desperate Mom

    Not unless you can download the episodes to the iPod. Most of the TV show apps stream the content via WiFi so you need to be able to connect to the internet.
    TV shows that you download in iTunes can be watched - after fully downloading - without WiFi.

  • On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

    On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

    Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
    Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers.  To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing.  Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share.  You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons.  Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
    Go to Music in your Home Share.  Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner.

  • I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book

    I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book back as i have already paid for it once and i would not like to pay for it twice.

    If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I have a macbook pro with osx 10.8.2 and have the latest version of itunes. Whilst on itunes I realised that there was a shared library with musc on it. Is there a way I can download this music?

    Please help!

    You are seeing someone else's shared iTunes Library.
    Is there a way I can download this music?
    No, not without enabling Home Sharing, which would require using the same Apple ID and the other account holder's consent.

  • Is there any way to re-download something on iTunes?

    I downloaded an LP from a new album, but one of the bonus videos that came with the album is skippy and I think it might be because I paused the download on the LP and that might have messed it up. Is there any way I can download it again, seeing as I purchased it and it is my property?

    I don't know if the bonus material is available for re-downloading, but go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. You can see if the bonus material is listed there. If so, delete it from iTunes and you should then be able to re-download it.
    For full instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If it's not listed there, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the problem with the video to the iTunes Store.
