Why are the iWork apps not free FOR ME?

This might be a pretty old question, but lately I came to know that iWork apps were/are free for iOS 7 running devices, and my iPhone 4s which runs on iOS 7.1.2 and I activated it JUST 4 DAYS BEFORE SEPTEMBER 2013 (And many say, those who activated their iDevices after September 1st of 2013 are eligible to download iWork apps for free) is not able to get those apps for free. So is there any trick on refreshing/re-activating my account so that I get those apps (iPhoto, iMovie, Pages etc.) for free? Not being mean, but I feel so embarrassed for not activating my phone just after 4 days so that all those apps which I needed most would have been free (And ofcourse I did not know They would come for free if I had activated my phone afer 4 days ).

The offer for free iWorks apps is date dependent. If you purchased it prior to the eligible date, no, you are not entitled to them for free, and there is no trick to getting them. you will need to purchase them.

Is the iWork App Suite free for new iO7 devices?

I have not seen anything specific about the iwork download for devices bought after Sept 2013. Does anyone know?

Hello CarmelChaves,
It sounds like you would like to know if iWork would be free for a new purchase of an iOS 7 device. Take a look at this info:
* Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the Mac App Store for qualifying Mac computers purchased on or after October 1, 2013. OS X Mavericks required. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.
From this page at the bottom:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Why isn't iWork apps not free yet after IOS7 update ?

Apple did say that IWork would be free, but it is not free as IMovie still has the original price, is it for certen devises or is there a problem on the store?

The advertisements leading up to the release of iOS 7 let me to believe that I work would be free for everybody. Apparently that is not the case. I was a little disappointed to find out but now it is only free for new devices activated after September 1 however upon looking at the reviews and how horrible they are I'm not disappointed at all in fact you couldn't pay me to use iWork so thanks but no thanks Apple once again.

My time capsule is full and when I attempt to back up, I only receive a preparing back up message and the earliest and most recent back up dates remain the same. Why are the oldest backups not being deleted to make room for the newest backups?

It may be in the process of making room. What version of OSX are you on? (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network; Lion has improved it greatly.)
A clue may be lurking in your logs. Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. That should help you figure out what's going on. If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.

WHY ARE THE UK USERS PAYING MORE FOR THE CLOUD SERVICES????

WHY ARE THE UK USERS PAYING MORE FOR THE CLOUD SERVICES????
OR IS IT JUST LAZYINESS THAT YOU CHANGE THE DOLLAR SIGN FOR THE POUND?

it obviously doesn't, but then again some people or organisation only care about price when it comes to purchasing their laptops, and it is hard to justify making a special model for a selected few.
Sure everything can be done if there is a market for it, but Lenovo won't know how large the market is before hand, as such they are hedging a bet by not moving with the market (which Lenovo have done on many occasions). I guess the finanical return is not the worth the risk for Lenovo to keep the 4:3 or 16:10 screens.
But this debate has been going back and forth for a long time, so no point bringing it up again and again.

Why is the a505 series not compatible for the windows 10 upgrade

Why is the a505 series not compatible for the windows 10 upgrade. It does not show up in the system available for the upgrade.

Nobody said that it wasn't compatible. Microsoft makes that determination. Toshiba, however, has chosen not to write new utilities and drivers for it for Windows 10.

Apple said that the iWork will be free for everyone.

I have a new iPad mini bought on 20 August and iWork is still paid.(Just a dollar smaller).What's the problem. Can somebody tell it to me?

No, Apple did not say iWork will be free for everyone. The notes on the iPhone 5S tech page says:
iPhoto, iMovie, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 7 compatible devices activated after September 1, 2013. See www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/ for iOS 7 compatible devices. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.
That means an iOS device activated for the first time after September 1. No way does that mean "everyone."

IWork still not free for me.

Hello i've read other discussion mentioning how they got the apps for free. I followed their directions and it seems that mine under the free apps still says that it is 19.99. Is there anything else i can do? I've done a software update and I do have iWork on my phone and iPad but i would like it on my laptop. Please help. Thank you.

Why are the Touch apps marked with the † for included, when they are infact not included?

Adobe you need to fix the Touch Apps and quit tricking people... Included† and it says "Touch Apps†"
This indicating that they are INFACT INCLUDED....
as it stands what you are realistically telling us is that none of the other products are included in the creative cloud only the touch apps... who ever you have setting this page up......
When it should say Not Included†

@DeLancieGalleries - It is not the email you purchased the apps with but the one you sign into the Creative Cloud with which will be the same. Relevant line 'a Qualifying Member must sign in to Creative Cloud from each of the Qualifying Touch Apps' from here http://store.adobe.com/store/en_us/popup/offer/touchapps.html.

Why does the remote app not work with Apple TV 1st gen anymore.

This is a review I just left on the app store, I am posting it word for word, and i hope that dowsnt complicate anything. My hope is that this finds the right party to address the situation, and if any user has a fix, I would love to hear it.
I have an Mac mini running iTunes as a server, I have 2 airport expresses to allowing airplay to them for different rooms, and I also have 2 Apple TV first gens... I can play one stream of music from the server, and have the option of playing 2 other streams of music from the apple tv's as they have a built in hard drive to sync music to. I can send any of the feeds to any o the devices in any room and i love it. This whole system used to work flawlessly... It doesn't anymore. The latest update of remote broke what was working so well. I can pull it up and see all 3 music sources, log into each and play music, no problem there. The problem is that when I want to log back into that device, it won't show what music is playing. It loads up to a trackpad... Why do I need a trackpad? the point of a wifi remote is that it interfaces directly with the library, not needing to see the display... Annoying enough in itself as none of my devices are actually hooked up to a screen, but whatever, annoying point aside, I back out of the trackpad and refresh the device playing music... The music is playing, but won't show on my remote, I can't pause, press next song or anything. I have to start over and pick a song and override the currently playing song. Even the volume control is broken. I used to control each volume of each of the multiple devices individually, they each had a slider in the multiple speaker view, now there is only one master volume slider... One speaker is in my baby's room... If she is sleeping I don't want to have to go into the room to physically adjust that speaker, I want an individual slider like there was before.
I used to be very happy with this app. I'm not anymore. I used to praise apple and promote the functionality of it to all of my friends. Now I'm just embarrassed when I can't control it when they are over. Embarrassed....
As another fail.... I want to describe another point. As I have the iTunes server, it should be able to handle multiple things at once. It can to an extent... For example, I can play music from the server to an airplay device, and I can go onto my iMac, load up iTunes, click on shared libraries ad load my entire library from my server. I ca also at the same time take my iPhone, click on music, and again pull up my entire shared library of music from the wifi server... It handles this very well. I recently purchased an Apple TV 3. As it does not have a built in hard drive, it relies on content from a locally attached network or stuff from your iTunes account. So while I can use my iPhone to pull up the entire shared library while its also playing elsewhere, why can Apple TV 3 not?... It's using iOS just like my iPhone. All it was good for was airplay as an extra speaker. It wouldn't work as an extra rendered source of media using the shared library. Needless to say, that Apple TV went back to the store. Fail Apple, Fail.... That was the only reason I bought one. Maybe Apple TV 4 will actually be functional without a hard drive.

Working fine on my system
If on wifi, try ethernet
Make sure router is up to date
Reboot all components

Why are my iwork apps stuck saying "waiting"?

I have a iPhone 5s. I downloaded the free iwork suite. They worked fine till I used iBooks. Logged into iBooks and agreed to let it sync my bookmarks. I then checked out the store from within iBooks to see what was new. I downloaded the free iPhone iOS7 guide and now all my iwork apps are dimmed out saying "waiting". I tried rebooting my phone but didn't help... Any suggestions?

I don't have anything updating... I was downloading the guide through iBooks but that's it and it's been completed...
I've tried restarting phone and logging out of app store and back in. Still no good...
Wow, and now after logging back in, I go into iBooks and under purchased books, I'm seeing 3 of the same book for every book I have... This is messed up...

Why are the open windows not listed in any kind of order?

It's bad enough there's no menu showing all the open tabs, but why does the dropdown menu for open Windows not be in ANY order whatsoever? It would certainly stop having to look up and down the list every time I want to go to a different window if they were in either alphabetical or chronological order.

The windows listed in the Window menu are in chronological order starting with the oldest window near the top and the newest window at the bottom.
The problem might be that you've opened a new tab in an old window. The windows are still listed in the same order but now they have the name of the newest tab.
In my screenshot I opened this question in a new tab in my oldest window.

Why is the youtube app not the new ipad

Apple decided to remove google apps from being included in iOS. Google released an iPhone version of YouTube that you could install while we all patiently (or not) wait for google to make it universal...

Why are my icloud apps not updating?

Whether or not my iCloud LISTS or CALENDARS update across all of my app devices they are supposed to is a hit or miss deal. Sometimes they do quickly, sometimes it takes forever, sometimes not at all. Why??

Syncing hasn't worked for me for a couple of days now. It must be something on Apple's end.

Why are the iWork apps not free FOR ME?
