Why are iLife and iWork apps not installed on my Mac?

Recently purchased a used iMac late 2013 model and met the seller at the Apple Store to factory reset the mac. Well that was done succesfully but upon my return home and unboxing the iMac once i logged on and went to look for iMovie app it was nowhere to be found. I looked for the other apps from iLife and iWork and they were nowhere either. I tried the search tool and nothing came up and when I went to search for them in the app store thinking I just had to re-download them they were not FREE for me to install.
Isn't iLife and iWorks included with every mac for free? CAn someone please help me get these if I am entitled to them for free or explain why I have to pay for them? TIA.

They are free for the initial owner and if he accepts them at the app store, then they are permanently tied to his Apple ID and password. Their licenses are not transferable - subsequent owners must purchase the apps if they want them. Here are some excerpts from the licensing agreement:
B. If you obtained the Apple Software preinstalled by Apple on Apple-branded hardware, in order to use
the Apple Software on more than one of the Apple-branded computers you own or control under the
Usage Rules, you must log in to the Mac App Store and associate the Apple Software with your Mac
App Store account. If you choose not to associate the preinstalled Apple Software with your Mac App
Store account, you are permitted to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single
Apple-branded computer at any one time. Please also note that by choosing to associate the
preinstalled Apple Software with your Mac App Store account, you will also associate any other Apple
software applications that also came preinstalled by Apple on your Apple-branded hardware at the time
of purchase (excluding OS X, Safari, and system applications and tools).
and:
Apple Software obtained from the Mac App Store is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded
hardware to a third party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware before doing so.
If the initial owner does NOT associate the software with his app store account (in other words, he does not accept / install them), then he may transfer his license rights to a subsequent buyer.

  • The iLife and iWork apps for Mac OS X Mavericks

    I tried to download the iLife and iWork apps for my macbook with OS X Mavericks for free but I only downloaded the Garage band. How am I supposed to get them to install on my macbook.

    iWork apps are only free for users who bought a Mac after October 1st and for users who already have iWork '09, and iLife apps are free for users who already have iLife '11.
    You mention that paid apps are the ones that you cannot download. What happens when you try to download them? If the Mac App Store asks you to pay for them, do it. You are using an old version or you have not got them installed

  • Does the new Macbook Air not have iLife and iWork Apps?

    My old Macbook Air came with iLife and iWorks installed. My new Macbook Air with osX does not. Am I missing something?

    It comes with GarageBand, iMovie and iPhoto.  If you want pages and numbers, must buy in the App store or theiWork DVD.

  • Media browser in iLife and iWork apps do not displays the iPhoto lib

    My iMedia Browser can't find the iPhote library anymore. The same goes for my Aperture library. So i can't find my photo in any of the iLife or iWork apps from the media browser. I have na idea what the problem is. Everthing (for example the iPhoto lib) is in its correct place. I already rebuild the iPhoto lib with no results. What can i do? thx in advance.

    Paul:
    First, try deleting the com.apple.iApps.plist preference file, reboot and try again.
    The the above doesn't help reapply these updates: iLife Media Browser Update and iLife Support 9.0.3. Repair disk permissions afterward and reboot.

  • New Mac: Why are CC and Photoshop Elements not working when Lightroom and Reader are fine

    Last week I changed computers (swapping an old Mac for a 13-in MacBook Pro Retina running OSX Yosemite 10.10.3. I copied all my data over to the new machine using Migration Assistant.
    All programs work fine (including my copy of Lightroom 3 and Reader XI). But my CC and Photoshop Elements 10 do not. I have tried uninstalling both, but whenever I try to reinstall PE10 from its disk or download it just stops almost at the end. I then I get an "initiation failed" message, along with a request to download the now defunct "Support Advisor" app!
    I cannot download Adobe Application Manager, or the CC desktop app either - for the former I get an "initiation failed" message, along with the "download Support Advisor" app" message again! For the latter I get a message saying "Adobe Creative Cloud Is Needed to Resolve this problem - however it is missing or damaged." Then I get a message and a link to download Creative Cloud. Then when I've downloaded it and I click on the installer... it runs for a bit and then I get the message again: "Adobe Creative Cloud Is Needed to Resolve this problem - however it is missing or damaged." And I get a prompt and link to download the CC app. Guess what happens next? And so it goes on. And on and on, in a tedious circle.
    This is incredibly annoying and frustrating as I have work to do! Anyone have any ideas what's happening?
    Cheers

    do not use migration to install adobe programs.
    you should uninstall and clean whatever you've done, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    then dl the cc desktop app to your new computer and use it to install your adobe cc programs, Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial

  • Why are url and email addresses not fully viewable in a PDF when generated from a Word file?

    I have a question?
    A colleague in our Copenhagen office wanted to generate a pdf from a Word file.  She is working on a Windows 2007 operating system and is running Acrobat Pro 9.  When she generated the PDF only part of a url and an email address was visible when the PDF was viewed.  She was wofking from Standard settings.  I am running the same software on the same Windows platform and using the same computer equipment with the same settings yet I was able to generate a PDF where the full url and email address was visible.
    Can anyone out in Adobe Acrobat land provide me with an answer?
    Patrick Lennon

    That's probably because the Mac people are opening or viewing the PDFs within the Mac's "Mail" program or with the "Preview" program and not with Acrobat.
    Since the Windows people aren't using these programs and most likely just Acrobat or Adobe Reader, the layers are kept hidden.
    I'm afraid the only way to truly keep those layers hidden is to delete them before saving your file as a PDF. (Of course, do a "Save As" and keep your original .ai file intact.

  • Why are Facebook and Amazon only not working on Air?

    I have tried clearing cache, using Firefox and Chrome, resetting Safari, even reinstalling Mac OS X and Apple applications. The websites, and just the two websites, are still coming up as such. Any suggestions?

    From everywbhere, or just from one location?   As a test, bring your MacBook Pro to a coffee shop, library or some other location with internet service, and see if the videos play correctly there.

  • Why are my deleted imovie events not showing up in mac trash?

    I dleted an event in imovie on my macbook pro, it dissappeared, but I can't for the life of me find it in my mac trash.

    No solution to offer, but I can say that you are not alone. I am having the same exact problem.
    I installed "Photos" around April 8. "My Photo Stream" shows up in the sidebar containing pictures up through April 6 - nothing later. Photos taken with my iPhone since then do not show up.
    My iPhone and iPad both have Photostream on and working. Photos taken with either show up almost immediately on both devices. It is only "Photos" on the desktop machine which is broken. Like you, I have tried turning Photostream on/off, restarted both desktop machine and phone. Nothing.  "Photos" photo stream is stuck in time at April 6.

  • I installed Mac OS 10.9.4, but did not get iLife and iWorks. How can I obtain these

    I installed Mac OS 10.9.4, but did not get iLife and iWorks. How can I obtain these? Somebody talked about redemption codes, but I did not find any extra information. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance and best regards

    If your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, install them from the computer's original disks.
    If your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID used to register the computer, click on the Purchases tab, and download them.
    If neither of these is applicable, buy them from the Mac App Store.

  • Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

    I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?
