IWork is not free when you buy an imac ?

I do not understand.
I bought a new imac last week and I thought that came with iWork for free.
But when I launch Pages, Numbers or Keynote, I get a window that asks me to buy a license number or try the software for 30 days.
Please help !

Oh the real problem is something else!
You have Pages 5 in your Applications folder.
You have Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder.
When you try to open a Pages 5 file with Pages '09 it tells you you need to upgrade, because Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 files.
Just open the right files with the right version.

  • If you have the iPhone 4s and you buy the iwork...later when you change your phone to iPhone 5 with the same app name and code the iwork still free to download into your new phone???

    if you have the 4s and you buy the iwork...later when you change your phone to 5 with the same app name and code the iwork still free to download into your new phone???

    Yes as long as you use the same Apple ID for iTunes that you used to download the app originally.
    Hope that helps

  • Why is iWork not free when I update to ios7

    I purchase my iPhone 5 last Seprember 7. I've read that iWork will be free for all iOS device purchase after September 1st. But why is it not downloaded in my iPhone when I updated to iOS 7? When I check in the apple store it is sti $9.99. Have I misread something?

    No, JLupina, you did not read incorrectly.
    iWork is free when you purchase a new ios device beginning Sept 20.
    Downloading the new OS is not a purchase, and certainly not a purchase of a new device.
    Them's the rules.

  • I bought student mac air through university account, Iworks were included when I purchased mac air. But there are no iworks and It's not free when I tried to download from App Store

    I bought student mac air through university account, Iworks were included when I purchased mac air. But there are no iworks and It's not free when I tried to download from App Store. OS was OS X Mountain Lion 10.9 When I received it. Is it because of OS? I upgraded to OS X Mavericks right after I got it.

    Today, I went to the mac store and asked the staff about above issue. Apple obviously sent me a mac air which was manufactured before October 2013 and therefore, iworks and OX Mavericks weren't installed. I have refund for around £45 to purchase iworks. However, I wasn't happy with what Apple actually did. I asked for replacement and refund the one I got and getting the new one from store so I can use mac straight away. however, the refund takes 5-7 working days. The staff on the phone told me if I have enough money I can just buy the new one in the store and get refund later. So I gave up! I was so disappointed with Apple. Even though I use the mac now, this was not the one Apple promised when I purchased online. if anyone would like to buy a mac, Please go to the actual store. DO NOT buy a mac through MAC ONLINE STORE!!! I strongly recommend! I feel like I wasted my time because the company doesn't keep its promise.

    How recently did you switch?  If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account.  The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices.  I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

    Read from the top of the link:
    The Apple Product Registration website is closed.
    If you’re trying to register an Apple product, chances are it’s already registered. Most Apple products can be registered when you turn them on for the first time and begin the setup process. Service and support for your Apple product are linked to its serial number, so it’s OK if you don’t register it.

    AFAIK, there is no suich thing. There is no listing for iLife in Apple's online store. iPhoto, GarageBand & iMovie can only be obtained through the Mac app store.

    when you buy a CD and some of the songs don't download, how do you solve this?

    Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs  will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

  • What virus scan if any is on the original iPad when you buy it

    What virus protection if any is on the original iPad. When you buy it?

    Lets consider a few things, is the iPad generally safe on the interwebs without some sort of third party scan (scam) ware in your premise.
    Lets risk assess how many most/all PC and later day Mac systems become infected/compromised .
    They are auto downloads through a browser or Email attachments with auto-scripting of some sort.
    Open ports (no fire walling)
    Social engineering.
    And via Flash scripting.
    1) Now as for the IPad, built in protection consists of preventing virtually anything being downloaded/installed via the web browser. PDF can be but viewed within a sandbox.
    2) All authorized apps are distributed and installed only via Apples approval process via the App Store and ITunes
    (Some corporates can install their own software via private channels at a cost)
    3) A factory (Not jailbreaked) ios device has no access to command line so no ports can not be opened with ease.
    4) Social engineering - this usually involves driving the victim to their web browser then see point 1 above or point 5 below.
    5) Apple and Adobe haven't found a way to get a version of Flash to work on ios devices within the Apple released developer SDK and APIs. So no risk of running compromised Flash in foreseeable future at least not on a factory ios device.
    6) You do however run the very real risk of theft and even this has been considered with Find My iPad/iPhone apps and remote locking and system wiping functionality.
    Other than adding resource overhead what else could third party virus scanning do on such a locked down system ?

  • When you buy Leopard does Tiger go?

    When you buy Leopard and put it on your computer does it totally get rid of Tiger, so even if you don't like Leopard you can't switch back? Also how have you enjoyed using it. I have an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo made last September, also a 500gb harddrive. Thanks.

    Hey Brown,
    I would highly recommend backing up your entire Mac HD to an external drive... use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a duplicate of it. Then, you can always go back if you want to. It is smart to do before installing a new OS anyway. (as you can tell by all the posts on this forum)
    Leopard is working fine for me. Had a problem with incompatibility with SideTrack but that's it. It's really not THAT different from Tiger. Appearance is slightly different but not much. Spaces is a nice feature for me as I use my MacBook for work, school and home. TimeMachine seems good though with a MacBook I'm not hooked up to my external drive consistently like a desktop, so I'll need to make an effort to do that more often so I have backups.
    The only two things I really don't like so far is that I can no longer download hotmail to Mail and some of the changes to iCal. But, I'll get used to them.
    Overall... I like it!
    James

  • HT1349 When you buy an audiobook from iTunes where do you open it to hear it?

    When you buy an audiobook from iTunes, where do you open it to start reading it.

    If you download or sync an audiobook to the iPad then you can listen to it in the Music app - when their audiobooks on the iPad you should get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app.
    Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so if you buy any directly on the iPad you may want to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) so that you can take a backup copy.

  • Do you get receipt from Apple when you buy via gift card?

    Yesterday I bought something through a gift card on the app store, however I haven't received any receipt from Apple yet, is this normal? Does Apple send receipt to your email when you buy something via the gift card?
    TIA!

    You may not get the receipt for a few days. This is not abnormal.

  • What happens when you buy a single?

    When you buy a single and when the album later comes out, do you still have to pay for that song again or is it included?!  Would the album artwork change as well?

    If you bought a single on iTunes from an album that was already released, typically therAle would be a "Complete My Album" price that would be discounted because you had already purchased the single.
    Typically, when an album is not yet released, you do not get such a benefit.  Typically, the single is itself an album.  So yes, the album artwork may well change and you should not expect any future discount.
    This is much the same as used to be true when you went to the CD store and purchased a single before the album came out.  The single was its own album.  If you bought the multi-song album later, the single would be repeated and you would pay for it again.
