Mac app store top free full of paid Apple products?

Just curious, why is the Top Free Apps list on the Mac App store filled with Paid apps and just a few actual free apps. So iMove, iPhoto, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, these are £10.49 and £13.99, not free?

Because if you qualify, they are free. If you don't qualify, they're paid.
1. They are free with a new Mac bought starting 1 OCT 2013.
2. They are free if you own iWork '09 and upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9.

Now, my iMac doesn't display the Mac App Store properly! What's up, Apple?

Okay, I mentioned that my MBP was not displaying the Mac App Store properly... now its my iMac! Stupid blue boxes and unloaded tiles are the problem. Before anyone asks, my Internet connection works well. Anybody else having this problem (see photo)? What's up, Apple?! I'm tired of reloading the page and crossing my fingers. Fix your junky software!
Oh, when you added OS updates to the App Store, that's when problems started. Thanks, Apple!

Well, there's nothing wrong with my ISP or strength of my wi-fi signal. As you can see from the enclosed photo, the signal is very strong at the top of the UI. The picture was taken several minutes AFTER waking from sleep mode and after a page reloading (the Mac App Store actually displayed more icons, prior to the refresh). Additionally, the Mac App Store is slow as heck to load. I don't have any of these problems with any other Internet connected application, including the App Store on my iPad 2! All of the problems are localized around the Mac App Store. Ironically, the app store on my Windows 8 Pro virtual machine runs without a hitch!
Mac App Store icons don't always load correctly w/ strong wi-fi signal
No problem with the Windows 8 store running on a virtual machine using Parallels Desktop 8 (see, no ISP issues!)

Just a reminder... this happens to BOTH of my Macs (MBP & iMac)! My PC, Ubuntu, and Chromium virtual machines run Internet-connected applications without a problem. I hate the Mac App store!

Mac App Store Upgrade advantages vs Download from Apple Web ?

Since latest OSX versions the upgrades are checked in App Store and the download of the upgrade follows in App Store.
I have checked with latest OS upgrade (10.8.1 and 10.8.2) and also now with Aperture 3.4.1 that the download time inside App Store is twice longer compared with a direct download from Apple. More interesting is that the download gives me a file that I can use to upgrade not only my iMac but also my Mac Book Pro.
The upgrade notification in App Store reached my Mac while the related file is not to befound in the italian Apple site but if I change to us I immediately find the file.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Yes, OS X updates from the Apple Downloads page will work. If your version of Aperture is from the MAS, the update from the MAS should not be able to update it, that is for the previously sold boxed software.

Why doesn't Mac App Store does not recognize my new Apple ID?

I change my Apple Id several weeks ago and everything seemed fine until I tried to update a game in the App Store. Has anyone else had this problem?

To update an App Store product, you must sign into the store with the same ID you used to purchase it.

About a Purchase I Bought at The Mac App Store

I Have a Problem I Bought Real Racing 2 for My Apple iMac Computer on The Apple Mac App Store & Today I Made a Mistake & Downloaded The Real Racing 2 in HD on Apple iTunes for The Apple iPad Version so I Contacted Apple iTunes about it & They Reinbursed me back The $12.99 For The Apple Mac Version of Real Racing 2 instead of Reinbursing me The Real Racing 2 for Apple iPad now they messed up i told them I Have Real Racing 2 for My Apple iPhone & Apple iMac Computer & I Don't have an Apple iPad, I Wish i was a person that never makes mistakes I Want to keep Real Racing 2 for My Apple iPhone & Apple iMac Computer & They Reinbursed me for The Real Racing 2 for The Mac now what do i do? I Tried Explaining to them cause i e-mailed them again is there a phone # to call so i can Explain to them over the phone?

They Reinbursed me for The Real Racing 2 for Apple iPad & They Reinburesed me for The Real Racing 2 for Mac at The Apple Mac App Store but The 1 from The Apple Mac App Store Real Racing 2 For Mac is the 1 I Wanted that they should have never have touched & I Want to Puchase it again The Real Racing 2 for Mac but every time I Try to Purchase it, it say's I Have already Purchased this iTem & you can Download it again for Free so is there a Tricky way to go around this to Purchase it again for My WWEByron6 Apple iTunes Account?
Byron4Ever Apple iTunes Account is the 1 I Use to Download all My Music & iPhone & iPod Touch & iPad App's & Movies & TV Shows & Music Video's & iBooks & iTunes U & Podcasts on
The WWEByron6 iTunes Account is the 1 for all The Mac App's & I Wish I never did them all this way cause I Have a lot of Mac App's on that iTunes Account meaning I Wish I Never created another Account for all The Mac App's & Everything should have been on 1 Apple iTunes Account on Byron4Ever & I Messed up in the beginning on that part
So I Hope Someday we will be able to Merge Apple iTunes Accounts in 1 Someday? I Bet there are some people that have more then 1 Apple iTunes Accounts?

I need mac app store

To make a long uninteresting story brief, I need some way to redownload the Mac App Store. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard from Tiger, i did not yet have an ipod or ipad or iphone so saw no purpose wasting 3Gb of storage on an app I would likely never use, and I deleted it.
Now I would like to upgrade to Mountain Lion, and have no way to do so unless I have some way of downloading the Mac App Store again. Why couldn't Apple just keep printing their software to DVDs? That one could purchase in a store with a roof and a cashier? or at least make the App Store readily available... I'm so worn out from all this hassle.
If anybody knows where I can find a download link on this confounded site, or some other way to upgrade my OS, or is at least in a similar situation so that I know I'm not a lone idiot, I would be very thankful!

When you upgraded to Snow Leopard you were later obliged to further update via the combo updater to 10.6.8. You should now download and reapply that update then software update to pick up the latest iTunes and securioty updates.
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
This you can do on top of the existing version. That should put the App Store icon back in your applications folder.

HT4710 Updates for iPhoto and iMovie in the Mac App Store

Hi,
I recently bought a new computer running Lion. When I started using the computer, I opened the Mac App Store and signed in with my Apple ID (the same one I've always used for buying apps from there, music from the iTunes store, and apps for my iPhone). I am able to easily access and download my old purchased apps to my new computer without a problem. However, in the updates section it shows updates available for both iPhoto and iMovie, but when I go to update them I get this message, "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." iPhoto and iMovie came on the new computer, and the only Apple ID account that I have ever used is the one that I am currently signed in under. Does anyone have any idea how I can get these updates, or at the very minimum, get rid of them so that they do not show up anymore (frankly, I find the red circle very annoying, and I don't really use either of these apps so I'm not too concerned about them).
Thanks!
Sorry, I found a few other questions about this same thing after posting, so I'll try those solutions.

Open iTunes on the new Mac, sign into your account and view your account information. There is a section for Purchase History where you can view the invoices for everything that you have ever bought from the iTunes stores and the Mac App Store.

Hi and welcome..
Check your Applications folder to make sure the game was downloaded and installed successfully. You can launch it from there.
If you continue to have problems, you can contact the developer here.

Getting Error Code 13 with Mac App Store on OS X Lion

Hey all,
I just updated my Macbook to Mac OS X Lion. Now whenever I go into Mac App Store, I can log into my Apple ID but cannot redownload any of my previous purchases.
I continue to get the error 13 for any of my downloads. I've tried rebooting my Mac, logging out and back into my Apple ID on the Mac App Store.
Nothing works. Any idea?

I figured it out.
I signed up for another Apple ID account within the Mac Apple Store. After completing the validation, I logged into the new account then logged out.
Closed down the Mac App Store and relaunched it. Then I logged in using my original Apple ID with all my purchases linked to it.
I'm now available to download items fine without error. I hope this helps others with the same issue.

Where is Server app on the Mac App Store?

Where is Server app on the Mac App Store?
According to:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1822
"To administer OS X Server on Mountain Lion, use Server app version 2 or later on OS X Mountain Lion. Server app is available from the Mac App Store."

Sorry, maybe I was unclear in my OP. I'll try to explain more clearly:
I upgraded my MBP to Mountain Lion. Before the upgrade, on both Snow Leopard and Lion, I had been using the Server tools (Server Admin, Workgroup Manager, etc.) on my MBP to administer my Xserve that is running Snow Leopard Server.
After upgrading to ML, all of the Server admin tools on my MBP disappeared. I assume the ML installer removed them.
I found a 10.8 version of Workgroup Manager that runs great on my MBP here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1567
I cannot find an equivalent version of the Server Admin (or "Server" as referenced here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1822)

Mac App Store not recognizing previously installed Apple applications

Mac App Store is not recognizing previously installed Apple applications (Aperture 3; iLife'11; iWorks'09) as already purchased and installed. These were installed either via download from the Apple Store or from install discs. Prior to the 10.6.7 update, at least some of these applications were recognized as already installed by the Mac App Store. This is no longer the case.

However, it now says that the software that came with my Mac Book Air (iLife) and other software must be re-purchased!
No, it doesn't say you must re-purchase them. You can continue to use those apps as they are. There is no requirement for you to re-purchase them. If you wish to have lifetime updates, you can purchase the version on the app store which will give you that. However, you still have the same license to use those bundled apps the same as everyone else.
This is wrong, at least for the Mac Book Air 2010 and forward purchases because of Mr Jobs announcement back in October.
What did he say that makes you think that?
No! Apple must make good on this. Why should Apple give me iLife with an MBA and tell me that I'm getting an App Store and then deny those software to be excluded from being "installed"? This is wrong.
No, you are wrong. You received the standard bundled apps that were bundled with every other Mac. The App store only reports on apps actually purchased from the app store (apparently correctly, now). Your bundled apps were not purchased from the Mac App Store. They were bundled with your Mac.
Apple reps (you guys here)
They are not, at least the ones you wish to talk to.
MUST escalate this issue for computers/software purchased from that October announcement and understanding.
Why? You didn't buy a "Mac App Store" bundle with your Mac. As I explained above, you received applications bundled with your Mac. They still work. You have not been cheated in any way.

Make sure your Mac is set to English before you go to the App Store.
Be warned however thast Pages 5, with a few exceptions is actually a downgrade with over 90+ features removed:
