Macbook Pro doesn't come with preinstalled iLife

I have bought a new Macbook Pro with os x Mountan Lion, but it doesn't come with preinstalled iLife. I also open the App Store and click Purchases, but nothing appear. Can anyone help me with this ? Thank you very much

This is the article from Apple's knowledge base article :
If you erase install OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion installed, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start (up) from OS X.
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.
My trouble is, I haven't previously accepted my bundled iLife application within Mac App Store (point #5). Then I sould see my iLife app appear in the Accept portion of the screen.
But, when I click on Purchases button, I don't see "Accept", only the text said "You have not yet purchased any apps"
Where is the "Accept" portion of the screen ?

Since my MacBook Pro did not come with an iDVD

Since my MacBook Pro did not come with an iDVD and my old mac has an old iDVD, if I get an iLife 09 or 11 will I be able to install the iDVDs from these programs or are the iDVDs just an upgrade? Thank you.

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

I have a MacBook Pro, does it come with antivirus softwarealready installed or do I need to purchase it.

No. You don't need it. But if you did you could use the freeware ClamXav 2.2.1.

My Macbook pro didn't come with any restore disks, How can I make some?

I was just curious, Macs and Macbooks used to include restore disks. My new Macbook Pro did not come with any so how do I create a set?

Though these instructions are for Mt. Lion, they will work for Mavericks as well. Making one one of these will free you from depending upon Apple servers if the need should arise.

My MacBook Pro didn't come with a recovery CD and recovery HD will not show up

My MacBook Pro didn't come with a recovery CD and recovery HD will not show up

if you're running Snow Leopard - there there will be no recovery partition - only Lion and Mountain Lion has that.
did you buy your Macbook used?
you can call Apple to order the original install DVD for your Macbook or you can order Snow Leopard for $20.

Is there a reason why my macbook pro didn't come with a disc?

If you just bought it and it came with Lion then you don't get a DVD. Instead what they have done is created a Recovery Partition on the drive that serves the same function.

My MacBook Pro didn't come with Pages while my previous MacBook did...is that normal?

I bought a MacBook Pro a little over a year ago and it didn't come with Pages. I thought this was normal but my MacBook which I had a couple years ago previously did come with Pages. Are all laptops supposed to come with Pages automatically? My MacBook Pro did come with Keynote which I thought was strange and random....any thoughts? If the MacBook WAS supposed to come with Pages, is there any way for me to get it now or is it too late? Thank you!

No.
iWork was never bundled with a Mac.It was an optional buy.
Now you can download iWork free from App store if you buy a new Mac.
Best.

HT1338 My Macbook Pro did not come with apps like iMovie or GarageBand...why?

I just purchased the Macbook Pro after it had recently been updated in-store with OS X Lion, and today I also upgraded it to Mountain Lion. However, my macbook did not come with iLife, iMovie, or GarageBand. How do I go about fixing this? I don;t want to pay for them online via the app store, because they are supposed to come with the laptop.

iLife is no longer offered with the upgrade OS, a inconvenience for many.
iLife was never offered with an OS update. It comes with the purchase of the Mac.
If the Mac was updated by someone in the store to Lion, that means it was old enough that it came with probably Snow Leopard. There should be a set of grey DVDs that came with the Mac. The iLife applications were on one of the DVDs.

My macbook pro did not come with iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband, and probably a few other apps.

Aren't those supposed to come with the mac? I tried to return it but the future shop dude said just register the macbook and download the apps, they're free. Is that true? If so, how do I go about doing that? I'm starting to think I got ripped off or something, never again am I buying Apple products from anywhere but Apple.

One hint: know where you are.

When you buy a macbook pro does it come with all the software you need

when i purchase a macbook pro with retina display. will it come with all the software i need

Hi logan_logan,
Probably all depends on your past experience, but I'm getting a new Macbook Air next week, and I will be purchasing Microsoft Office. I have been using Word and Excel for years, and know all of the tricks, bells, and whistles, so just really don't want to go through a major learning curve to figure out how to use a new word processing and spreadsheet processing system.
I've had a little experience with Pages on my iPad (which I know is not even a close comparison to what is on the Mac), but I'm just more comfortable with Word.
So, I'd say depends on whether you want something that you are comfortable with, or something that is a new adventure! What's your pleasure?

Do macbook pros no longer come with an OS disc?

I have a a1286 macbook pro. Do macbook pro's come with disc's anymore? i do not recall seeing one when i got the computer.
Thank you in advance
Brandon

It depends on what OS the computer originally shipped with; A1286 isn't enough to tell. Computers which ship with 10.7 or newer use a preloaded recovery partition instead of a disk.

Does the 13" MacBook Pro **NO** Retina, come with Mountain Lion??

Ordered mine from Best Buy last week, according to their website, as well as Apple's website it should have Mountain Lion OS on it. It only has Lion 10.7.5 on it.
Is that how it should be?

If your Macbook Pro comes with Lion then it's not the latest revision. The last Macbook Pro to ship with Lion has the Model identifier 9.2 released in June 2012. The lasted revision has the Model identifier 10.2 released in Oct 2012 and ships with Mountain Lion

My macbook pro didn't come with power adapter extension cord

my macbook pro is about a year old and I just realised that is was meant to come with an extension cord for the magsafe power adapter but it didn't.
What can I do about it? Where can I get one?

Yeah customer service is generally good and understanding just let them know! It cant hurt!
