Upgrade for Pages says not available for this Apple ID

I just bought new MacMini. Now upgrade for Pages says not available for this Apple ID, etc. Why? I did not buy the Mini from Apple store, but so what?

Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
Step 1
A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
Step 2
If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
Step 3
If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
Step 4
From the App Store menu bar, select
          Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.

  • All of the sudden 90% of the things on my dvr say not available for mobile viewing

    For about the last week, almost everything I record on my dvr says not available for mobile viewing on my iPad. It was fine until the middle of last week.

    I really cannot offer any suggestion to you, but just to say I know what you are talking about.  I haven't hit the 90% mark yet (knock on wood), but I have had and continue to get random shows that record to the DVR but don't show up on the mobile apps due the the "not available for mobile viewing" error. I have posted in the past about this, as well as spoken to Comcast reps about this issue, yet no resolution is ever offered.  Sometimes it goes away on its own, but can return weeks later.  Very frustrating. A question for you though.  Are you setting your recording schedule through the mobile app, website, or the DVR guide itself?  I've noticed sometimes when I use the website to set my recording schedule, some of the shows just randomly don't record to the cloud dvr. If I use the DVR guide itself, then I haven't noticed the issue.  Could be a coincidence or not.  I hate using the DVR guide to set a recording schedule though.  Much rather prefer to use the website to set up a schedule.  I also notice I get the "Not available for mobile viewing" error on one time recordings.  I have yet to see a series recording give me that error.

  • HT1222 Why does my IOS 7 update after downloading say" not available at this time try again later"  any ideas

    Why does my IOS7 update after downloading say " not available at this time try again later" any ideas?

    With everyone and their iDogs trying to update at the same time, things are gonna be a bit bumpy off the bat trying to update and/or activate.
    All anyone can really recommend is to keep trying or wait until a bit later, after the hubub has died down.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and cant open iPhoto!  Saw an update for app but it won't let me; says not available for this AppleID because it was bought by a diff user or item was refunded.   Not so. What now?

    UPgraded to Yosemite and now I cant open iPhoto.  App says it needs to be updated but yet I cant udate cause it says update not available for this ID cause it was bought by another user (I only have 1 Apple Id) or item was refunded or cancelled.  ANY IDEAS?  Thnx!

    Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
    1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept it and the other iLife/iWork applications into your Apple ID, do so.
    2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
    3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
    4. Buy them.

  • IPhoto & iMovie update not available with this Apple ID

    Hi everyone - I'm at a loss as to how to fix this issue...
    I'm trying to update iPhoto and iMovie from the Mac App Store but I get the following error message:
    Update unavailable with this Apple ID: This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
    I've read the other threads about the apps being 'linked' to previous Apple IDs so I logged out and back in with an older / previous Apple ID that I had used before but it still wouldn't allow the update to the two apps - in fact the App Store said that the older ID hadn't even been used in the App Store.
    I updated my OS to Yosemite yesterday so I don't know if that's affected anything?
    Really hope someone can help - it's starting to frustrate me!
    Cheers
    Neil

  • HT201272 I recently purchased a book on my iPhone and when I tried to download it on my iPad it says not available for redownload. What's with that? They should at least tell you it's only available on he device. Any suggestions to know this is a one down

    When I tried to download it onto my iPad it doesn't show up in my downloads. So I found the book and clicked to buy it again as I have seen this happen with apps before. I clicked buy and it gave me a message. You have already purchased this book but it isn't available for redownload do you want to purchase this book again?
    This is frustrating to me because had I known this I would have never purchased it on my iPhone. I always read off my iPad.
    Also if this is the case why doesn't it say somewhere. ALERT. This is a one download only book!
    Suggestions?
    Thanks

    What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
    If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
    If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

  • Downloaded and installed yosemite. Now iPhoto will not open and when i try to update it it says not available for my apple id. Help

    Downloaded yosemite OSX 10.10 and now iPhoto will not open. When I try to update to iPhoto 9.6, it tells me it can not be be downloaded with "this Apple ID. It is the only Apple ID I have ever had. Please help

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Update is not available with this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled

    It appears that everyone is experiencing this problem today...
    Any ideas?

    Hi nora.96,
    See if logging out and back into your account in iTunes clears the issue.

  • Page is not available for adobe reader deployment

    I have an approved software distribution request to access download installation files for Adobe Reader, but the link that was sent to me http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/deployment.html does not work.

    I don't know that link (and certainly not the one hiding under your link).
    You can download the EXE installers from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    If you need the MSI installer, get it from the Adobe FTP site ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/ (which for some reason I cannot access right now).

  • SCANNER UPDATES FOR EPSON v500 not available for maverick?

    OK - I updated to MAverick and have no scanner.  You know, the little white circle with the line through it, indicating that the woftware and drivers will not work on Maverick.  So, I went to Epson (I have Epson perfection v500 photo scanner), and they direct me to Apple Software Update at Apple Store.  The Apple Store has no update for the epson.  And, in an article, says that third party software need be gotten from the maker.  so, how do I update.  anyone know?  Since apple insists that all updates go through apple store, they should be up to date on everything as they try to corner this market.  a little upset.
    Thanks for any help.

    The message
    "An OS X 10.9 compatible Scanner Driver and EPSON Scan Utility for this model is not yet available but is coming soon. Please check back for availability."
    Has actually been removed from the Epson sites.
    Only the old drivers and the ICA Scanner driver (very limited and thus with poor performance) remained.
    I think Epson is only interested in selling new stuff (look at the questionnaire they ask you to fill in when you visit their sites).
    But the question remains: what to do with my precious EPSON PERFECTION V700 PHOTO scanner?
    Buy a cheap WINDOWS machine and tranfer the results to my iMAC?
    Weird, but in the given circumstances maybe the only workable fast solution with guaranteed results.
