Iwork vs app store

I see that if i buy iWork as a package from Apple it costs $80. But if I buy pages, numbers and keynote separately from the app store it only costs $60. What is the extra $20 for?

Cardbox, DVD, printed documentation, transportation, manufacturing.

Upgraded iPhone 5c to 7.1; no longer have access to free iWork in App Store

Hello!
I recently activated a new 32 Gb iPhone 5c (last Saturday to be exact); a couple of days ago, I launched the App Store for the first time, and was shown a dialog which listed the free programs I could download onto my phone. Because I wasn't near my home Wi-Fi, I selected 'Not Now', which dismissed the dialog; however, I did notice that the iWork programs that were listed (Pages, Keynote, Numbers, etc.) were free.
Since that time, I've updated my iPhone to iOS 7.1; now, when I go back to the App Store to download the iWork apps, I notice that they all cost something (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote costs 9.99 each, iPhoto and IMovie cost 4.99, GarageBand is free).
My question: did I lose eligibility for free iWork because I upgraded iOS? Or am I missing something (to get to the Apple Apps, I selected "New to the Apple Store?", then "Apps by Apple")?
Thanks!

Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you?

Price difference of iWorks in app store and apple store

Hi there, I'm from Singapore and I'm a Macbook Pro user and I've been considering getting the Keynote, Pages and Numbers softwares. I've noticed that in the App Store, the price is listed as $19.99 for each individual app (for Singapore location), and I've noticed that the bundled package iWorks is priced at SGD$138. Is the App Store price in US Dollars? Why the price difference (apart from the packaging)?

As you dislike my English, I will use my main language : French.
Les utilisateurs de mac OS 10.6.7 ayant acheté iWork'09 sur DVD voient leurs applications reconnues par MAS.
Ceux qui ont acheté une clé d'activation pour débloquer la version d'essai (c'est mon cas) se voient proposer l'achat de la version MAS.
Comme je ne suis pas idiot, je ne vais pas acheter des applications dont l'architecture est ridicule pour remplacer des applications bien conçues capables de partager leurs ressources.
Comme je m'y attendais 10.6.8 ne change rien sur ce point.
J'ajoute que vos propos sont erronés.
Quand j'ai envoyé un rapport à Apple relatif au fait que mes applications n'étaient pas reconnues sous 10.6.7, ils m'a été répondu que c'était probablement du à un problème avec la base de données Launch Services.
De toutes façons, il est évident que dans quelques semaines iWork'09 sera remplacé par un nouveau produit.
Comme je ne me laisserai pas piéger par le comportement aberrant du MAS, je n'ai pas insisté.
Heureusement pour nous, les ingénieurs de "Bug Reporter" sont moins bornés que vous.

Can't upgrade iWork 09 to iWork 13, App Store shows INSTALLED and will NOT download

When I purchased a MBP in 2010 it came with iWork 09. Each time I launch either Keynote, Pages, or Numbers it tells me there is a new version available and asks if I would like to install. If I say "YES" I get taken to the app store and each of the apps says "INSTALLED" and does not have a download option.
I tried manually moving /Applications/iWork 09 to /tmp but when I revisit the app store it wants to charge me for the free upgrade.
No idea how to fix this.
I wanted to demo this cool new collaboration feature, but it looks like it will have to wait.

DO NOT GET IWORK 13!!!!!!! IT REDUCES FUNCTIONALITY AND CANNOT OPEN OLD KEYNOTES!!!!! IT DOES NOT SUPPORT EVERYTHING THAT IT USED TO!!!!! ITS NOT WORTH THE EFFORT!!!!!!!!

IWork from App Store vs DVD

If I buy the iWork apps from the App Store will I get the same features as if I buy the DVD (saves some money to buy it from the App Store)?

I recently ruined my laptop with orange juice,
I find that coke is not as good for that. Therefore, Coke is safer, trust me, my wireless keyboard still works despite a few splashes.
If you are in an emergency, then purchase/dl iWork from the MAS. When you get the disc, contact iTS and explain the situation, they may give you a refund due to the circumstances (but no promises here!).
iWork on a disc is a seperate version from what you will get in the MAS, so they are not the same thing.

"An unknown error has occurred" when logging in to App Store

Hi.
I have a valid Apple ID and I have been running Mountain Lion from the day it was released. Starting today I can no longer log in to the App Store. I get "An unknown error has occurred".
I have done the usual bits: checking ermissions, trashing preferences and the cache file, but to no avail.
Any tips would be appreciated.
all best,
tench

Sorry,
you don't need any app Store. That - sorry - bullshi. is mother of all problems.
There is the usuall Software Update process - all can find in finder menue below the apple logo. So why I have to update my iLife and iWork via App Store? Can't this be done by Software update as before? No, we need something special and we also deny any other possible way, like download from apple support page and install manually. No, everybody needs App Store - and then we get an issue after software update and don't get a fix? Sorry, that what I dislike most - a bad customer support.
So, no one needs App Store for a Fix - all apple has to do is simply provide a simple MacUpdate via Software Update process and all is fine again.
And Software Update is just in such cases the best choice and most possible way to fix such problems - and we need also a valid and good second way - if all strings get cut...
We need ways without any strong internet - because I know places, were you cannot download a MacOS

How do I get previously purchased software on DVD listed as an App Store download?

As many likely have, I have previously purchased Apple software (Aperture, Final Cut Express, iLife, iWork) before App Store began. I obviously do not want to re-purchase but now my Macbook Pro and Air do not have DVD drives.
Is there a way to get App Store to recognize these purchases so that I can have them listed in App Store?

To recognize software purchased on a DVD in the App Store, the only way to do it is to repurchase them in the App Store.
If your MacBook Pro and Air don't have a SuperDrive, you can buy an external optical drive to install it or, if you have another Mac, you can use Remote Disc to install the software on both computers. Also, Final Cut Express isn't available on the App Store

MacWorld e-mail on ms apps had a rebuttal saying iwork now free, but the app store shows it at $30 for the 3 apps, so what's the story?

So I got my Mac World e-mail, it talked about the free apps from MS (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote), so I downloaded them, in the comments section of the article someone that didn't like them said there was no need as iWork was free and no subscription needed.
Anyway, after letting the ad for MS 360 play out, word opened, but it wouldn't let me access my skydrive, now called onedrive, it was grayed out and needed the 360 subscription, needless to say I deleted all of the office apps and based on the comments section of the article I went back to the app store to get iWork.
They are not free, each app is $9.99, according to the app store, so tell me is there something I'm missing, there were others saying it was free, so what is the truth here?
Currently I use Textilus for creating documents, well one or two, writing on the ipad is horrible, and it still doesn't recognize my printer or any documents I save in Textilus. I have to save the page as a picture, open up the Epson app, select photos, and print.
I was hoping something useful would be available, but it looks like that's not going to happen.

Beginning last September (I beleive) the three iWorks app are free only for qualifying newly purchased devices (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5913)
And yes, on the iPad, MS office apps can only be used to read files unless you have an Office 365 subscription.
Can't respnd to what Textilus does or doesn't do when it comes to printing. That might be a question for the app vendor.

App store says I have lion installed, and wont open iWork

Every time I try to open any iWork app I get an error message saying "Keynote cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Keynote works with this version of Mac OS X. (Below is the problem details and system config.) I went to apple>about this mac and I have OS X 10.6.8 installed and it had worked before. I then go to the app store and it says I have Lion installed....I never paid to download Lion and it is no installed on my mac because I have none of the new features. The copy of iWork is an academic version provided from my school and I have never had any problems with it until now. Can anyone help?

I'd be posting in the iWork forums.

Had to uninstall iWork trial since I bought the pages app and it wouldn't let me print or save. Now the app store says I have pages installed but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it. I'm not very computer savvy and am getting frustrated!

Ooops, guess I didn't need to post everything in the title - sorry! I bought the pages app - but couldn't save or print so with some online searching found that I had to uninstall the iWork trial which had expired. I did that - but now I can't figure out how to re-install the pages app!! The app store says it's installed, but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it. I'm not very computer savvy - and am a first time Mac user and am getting extremely frustrated! I e-mailed some help center and they can't seem to help me either. I would appreciate any help/advice that can fix my problem - thanks in advance!!

OK Apple has stuffed up the demo version upgrade process so the first thing you need to do is get rid of the demo.
That includes getting rid of the files in the system.
The instructions how to do that are here:
Note That where you see / that is the sequence of folders, each nested inside each other.
User/Library/Preferences the com.apple.iwork.Keynote.plist
Means the User (you, the little home icon, whatever you are called on your computer) then the Library folder inside that and then the Preferences folder inside that.
Lion initially hides the System folders from you so you have to go to the Finder > Menu > hold down the option key and click on GO > Library to see it.

I bought my software pack iWork 2008 at the apple retail store and I cannot get any updates and apple App Store won't help me. Does any one know how I can get the upgrade without paying full price for a second time? I paid $99 for the iWork family pcan'

I cannot believe that apple is refusing to help a customer who bought and paid for iWork software just because I bought it from the retail store the App Store says they cannot allow me to upgrade. I have never heard of such. It should to matter where I got it i bought apples software and I don't et how the retail store can be different frothe App Store my god its all still apple. So stupid. I will not pay full price for the upgrade. Also I purchased Logic Studio and 2 days later the upgrade came out and they will not let u upgrade ? I think there should be at Least a 30-45 day window if u purchase software and they release the upgrade u should get not. It's not like apple doesn't make enough money already.

iWork '08 & 09 installed from the retail disk or from the downloaded trial must be updated through Software Update. Those installations will not be recognized as installed by the Mac App Store. In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have that needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window.
But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '08 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08. If it doesn't have the '08 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
If you are running Pages 3.0.3, then you do have the latest version of Pages from iWork '08. If you want to upgrade to iWork '09, you will need to purchase the new version, just like everyone else. The good news is that you can buy just the individual iWork apps - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - that you need or want for $20 US each from the Mac App Store & then install them on as many Macs as you need using the same Apple ID.

How many computers can I install iWork's on after downloading it from the app store? on

How many computers can I install Pages on after downloading it from the app store?
I know it is only $20 but im am stuck between getting iworks or microsoft office.

All of them, as long as you have the same Apple I.D.

I have iWork '09. How do I get the new version? Can't find it in the App Store...

Trying to update to the newest version of keynote so I can edit my presentations on my iPad. It keeps telling me to update. When I do, it says its the most update version, but its actually not.

Using the latest version of Keynote 6.1 has the following conditions:
it only runs in Mavericks, it wont run on an earlier OS
it is not an update but a new application therefore it is a paid upgrade from the Mac App Store
it is available as a free download if you purchased a Mac from October 2013 onwards, if your Mac is older it is a paid for download
If iWork 09 is installed when you obtain Keynote 6.1 the older applications are still installed allowing the two versions to be used for the diffent file types used. Best practice currently is to use 5.3 to oen those files and 6.1 to create new files.

In 6/2009 I bought iWork Family pack and have used it on two computers. Now I want to download iWork to my iMac but there is no way via the App store. How do I install the iWork bundle I paid for.

As of a minute ago you can still download the trial at this link. Note: clicking the link will automatically start the download.
