Problem of reinstallation preinstalled iWorks and iLife of a rebought Mac Mini

I bought an old Mac Mini at ebay. iWorks and iLife are preinstalled. But when I restored the Mac, I didnt have these softwares anymore.
I went to App Store, it said that this Mac Mini has the softwares to be updated (iWorks, iLife) but I cannot download them because they are associated to the Apple ID of the previous user.
Have you guys ever encounter this problem ? Do you know how to solve it ?
Many thanks

Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion
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.

  • Didn't Apple say that those who bought a new iDevice after October 1, 2013 could also get iWork and iLife for free on Mac?

    I thought I read that anyone who bought a new iDevice on or after Oct. 1, 2014 could get the iLife and iWork apps for free on their iDevice and the same Mac applications would be free for any Mac with the same iCloud account.  I purchased an iPad Air in January and got those apps for free on it, but when I bought a used Mac locally I can't get any of those apps for free?  If it is possible to get those iLife and iWork apps on my Mac that way please tell me.

    Didn't Apple say that those who bought a new iDevice after October 1, 2013 could also get iWork and iLife for free on Mac?
    No, they said if you bought a new iOS device on or after September 1, 2013, the iOS versions would be free. And if you purchased a new Mac on or after October 1, 2013, the Mac OS versions would be free. The Mac & iOS iWork & iLife apps are separate applications for two different operating systems. Unless you purchased a new Mac after October 1, 2013, you will have to purchase them for your used Mac.

  • IWork and iLife apps are _not_ showing free in the AppStore anymore. Why?

    Just uppgraded to iOS 7.0.3 on my new iPhone 5s. iWork and iLife apps are _not_ showing free in the AppStore anymore, only the Buy (for a price) option is there. Why? These apps used to show up free for me earlier, but i didn't install them due to the reported system instability they caused. That instability is reportedy addressed in iOS 7.0.3 but the apps are not free anymore, are they? Looks like it's not what was advertised...

    Ok... rebooting my iPhone 5s one more time after upgrading to iOS 7.0.3 solved the problem - after the reboot all the iWork and iLife apps are showing free in the AppStore again... Good deal!

  • Recently Downloaded OS X Mavericks, why aren't iWork and iLife upgrading?

    Upgraded to Mavericks, but iWork and iLife apps aren't upgrading!? WHY??!! Please help!

    Don't worry I think many people
    are experiencing apple store problems at
    the moment.
    I too have this problem with iWork and
    Aperture. All apps are reg. to me. My account
    Refused to download and gave me a broken installer
    First time around.
    Amazingly my pro apps were all unaffected.
    Still waiting on iLife and iWork to be sorted out.

  • Can I disable the fonts that come with iWork and iLife?

    I use the most recently updated versions of Mavericks, Adobe CC and Fontxplorer.
    When I am working in Photoshop, the list of fonts shows about 50 fonts that I never, ever, ever use. They come from iWork, iLife and the foreign language fonts that come with Mac. I suppose this is a minor problem, but it seems like something obvious that could be fixed.
    Is there a way to either:
    a) Get Photoshop to hide those fonts
    b) Get Fontexplorer to hide those fonts from Photoshop
    c) Disable fonts like Blackmoor, Schoolhouse, (many others) and the 8 fonts that include the word "Sangnam"?
    THANK YOU.

    Thank you Tom.
    I've found the foreign language fonts in Fontexplorer. That's great.
    Now, as for the iWork and iLife fonts... some of them don't show up anywhere.
    For example "Blackmoor" isn't in the system fonts list.
    Spotlight can't find it either....
    But there it is, working, in the applications.

  • How do you sync the free iWork and iLife apps to multiple supervised devices?

    So, I have a number of 4th gen iPads that are eligible for the free iWork and iLife update. I downloaded all the apps manually to one device, but was wondering how you can do this with multiple devices at once. If I try to add the apps in Configurator it asks for codes, because we have these apps downloaded already and on older devices. Configurator does not dinstinguish between the older and newer devices.
    I tried making a backup of the first iPad that has the apps and pushing that out on Configurator, but the apps did not transfer. Do these need to be side loaded? Is there another way? I am trying Settings > iTunes and App Store > Sync apps across devices, and having all ipads logged in with the same account. But, no sync of apps yet, and not even sure that will work...
    Ideas?

    Probably sould just do them individually.

  • Can't share Aperture photos with iWork and iLife

    I can't see my Aperture photos in any iWork '08 or iLife '08 application. I am running 1.5.4; sharing previews is enabled in Aperture Prefs; previews for my entire Library set to 1280px (and there are definitely previews for every master image). However, I see nothing in any iWork '08 or iLife '08 app – no Aperture 'disclosure triangle' in the Media pane. Nothing. Zip.
    I have rebuilt the Aperture database (Command + Option on start-up) for all 242 projects, but still no go.
    The only thing I think it could be is that my 'Aperture Library.aplibrary' (all 95GB of it) is stored in its entirety on a different hard drive, with an alias pointing to it from my '~/user/Pictures' folder on my boot drive (which it shares with iPhoto Library). I thought alias' were supposed to be transparent to the OS and the other apps would be able to see my 'Aperture Library.aplibrary' as if it were on my primary drive (i.e., the same drive). Is there a permissions thing happening here?
    This one has got me stumped. Any thoughts on why I can't share my Aperture photos with iWork '08 or iLife '08 would be gratefully received.

    Solved it!!!
    I just went a little berserk with the plist files in ~/user/Library/Preferences (sorry, not very scientific....).
    Interestingly, in addition to iWorks and iLife apps having their own preference files, there is also a file called 'com.apple.iApps.plist'. This was locked for some reason. Anyway, it and all the other pref files got trashed and then the trash emptied. Then I restarted my Mac and opened up iPhoto.
    Bingo!
    Same for Pages, etc.
    Thanks to all who took time out of their day to help me -- much appreciated.

  • Somewhat old iPhone 5, gonna upgrade to ios 7. asking about iWork and iLife.

    i was watcing the event last night where tim cook revealed the iphone 5s and 5c and he was saying that iWork suite apps and iLife suite apps are gonna become free. this morning i check the apple website and was looking at the specs of the iPhone 5s and when i scrolled all the way to the bottom it said something about devices activated after sept. 1, 2013 will have iWork and iLife available to them...
    does that mean that i have to get a new iphone and activate it.... im really confused about this....

    Good for you. But, that's NOT what the footnote says. The footnote states Apple devices activated after 9/1 that can run IOS 7.0...nothing about when purchased. Since all iOS devices that can run iOS 7.0 will require "activation" after being updated, I think the footnote needs clarification from Apple, and apparently, I'm not the only one that feels so. This is the second post I've seen regarding this.
    Like I said, we'll find out when iOS 7.0 is released, unless Apple gives clarification before hand.

  • IWork and iLife purchase with codes not valid on the new computer?

    Hi,
    last year I downloaded the iWork and iLife suites on the macbook pro provided by my school. I'm not sure how it works but I had the iWork suite and I used to update it with my Apple ID, now I can't. I just got an old macbook air (sold before the apps were included for free) and I was trying to download the suite but it's not in the purchased apps and it's not free. I used to have them, do I have to buy them again?
    Regarding the iLife suite the situation was slightly different. I basically downloaded them with some codes given me by the Apple support, do they work only for a single computer?
    Thank you!
    P.S.: In case I can't download them again, do you know if Apple offers discounts on its apps for students?

    Apple does not offer education discounts to individuals for software.
    If the Mac belonged to the school, the apps also belong to the school. If you now have your own used Mac, then you will need to buy the apps for yourself.

  • Downloading the iWork and iLife suite on multiple Apple devices

    Hi,
    I bought an iPhone 5S recently.Downloaded the iWork and iLife suite of apps for free. I love them.
    I also own an iPad-2. I would like to have these free apps installed there too. But when I visit the iTunes store, I see a price next to these apps indicating they are not free. How do I install this app on multiple devices, after it is installed on one of the recently purchased devices?

    The article linked below details how to download past purchases that are tied to your Apple ID.

    Should the iWork and iLife apps not appear, you may need to verify that you have the same Apple ID signed into the iTunes and App Stores on both devices.

  • How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation bcoz of earlier files

    How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation of the new version because of the existance of files from the previous version.plz help

    What "app cleaner software" ? I ask because installing Photoshop over a previous version has never been a problem. Perhaps your difficulty stems from another source, eg. "cleaner software" ?
    If you look in your hard drive, at the root level there is a Library. In there is a folder called Application Support, and in that you will find a folder called Adobe. Files from your previous version are there.
    However, I urge you to call Adobe support to make sure you are not doing anything that would mess up other Adobe applications.
