Why can't I download Pages, Keynote,  and Numbers for free even though I got my Mac and iPad mini as a student?

I bought my Macbook Pro and iPad mini at the Palisades Mall, New York location and was told that I can get those same apps for free on my Mac. I have been using my iPad mini for assignments and have never been able to download Pages, Keynote or Numbers on my Macbook Pro, despite having the same Apple ID and having all of these apps on my iPad Mini.
I don't know the exact day I got my Macbook Pro, but I have the serial number and I know the month and year I purchased it.
Yes, I got the student discount on both items, but the apps are only on my iPad mini.

iOS and OS X versions of these apps are entirely different apps. Getting one free doesn't entitle you to the other.
Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the Mac App Store for qualifying Mac computers purchased on or after October 1, 2013. OS X Yosemite required. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.

  • Why can't I get Keynotes Pages and Numbers for free after OS Mavericks 10.9.1 Upgrade?

    I bought my Macbook Air a few days ago with the OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 update software already installed on my laptop. I'm suppose to get Keynotes, Pages, and Numbers for free under purchases in my app store but unfortunately I haven't seen any of those programs come as a purchase in my store. I've downloaded the OS Mavericks 10.9.1 software three times already and restarted my computer to see if they come in the mac store but nothing happened. I've also applied for the Up to Date program and they said they would contact me in 24 hours but it has been three days and I still haven't got a reply from them.

    If you purchased a qualifying Mac on or after October 1, 2013, that did not include Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, you can download them free by following these steps: http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/

  • Why can i not download pages, it says it is unsupported

    Why can i not download Page?  It say it is unsupported on my system but I cant seem to upgrade my system either and I was able to use the free trial without any problems

    Hi Meggsy,
    Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
    Need newer version of Numbers to open file
    The trick is to drag icons for both versions to your Dock. Right click or control click on each and Options > Keep in Dock. That puts you in charge of which version you launch.
    Here is a screen shot of both Numbers icons on my Dock.
    Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) on the left with a three column graph.
    Numbers 3.2 on the right with a four column graph.
    Both versions will run happily together. Just be sure which version is opening your document.
    Instead of double clicking the document, run whichever version of Numbers/Pages/Keynote suits and use File > Open.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Hi we have apple credentials for downloading OS and creating Provisioning profiles. Now we are trying to upgrade the Mac OS 10.7.3 version. do we need should buy this version from appStore. or can it be download from the apple site for free?  Many thanks

    Hi we have apple credentials for downloading OS and creating Provisioning profiles. Now we are trying to upgrade the Mac OS 10.7.3 version. do we need should buy this version from appStore. or can it be download from the apple site for free?  Many thanks in advance!

    Whether you need to buy Mac OS X 10.7.3 depends on what version of OS X you have now.
    If you have OS X 10.6.x or lower it is a paid upgrade from the Mac AppStore.
    If you have OS X 10.7.x it is a free upgrade you get using Software Update on your Mac.

  • New iPad mini retina but why can't I download pages and numbers for free?

    I have just bought an iPad mini retina and used my current itunes account to register on the iPad. I can see that the keynote that I bought before is free but not numbers and pages. Are they not suppose to be free when buying a new device?

    Hi, I did use my current apple ID to activate the device but I can't see it as one of my devices that are registerd to my ID. I have an iPhone and an iPad 2 that shows when I look on the devices connected to my account. Should I reset anything to do new registration? I have tried to log out of itunes account and login again but it still doesn't work.

  • I have reset may iPad and still can't download pages keynotes and numbers for free

    Need assistance loading my iPad with the free version of pages keynotes and numbers. I was told if I reset my iPad I would be able to install them for free during the setup process

    You should ask this in the iOS discussion, this is the Mac discussion:  iOS Keynote

  • Keynote pages and numbers for free

    How do I download these apps for free in my iPad air that I bought for second hand. And I have registered it under my Apple ID. I think I'm eligible for it. Could anyone explain to me in detail. Thank you

    You can only use the original Apple ID that was used to activate the iPad to download the free apps.

  • I can't download an app for free even though I bought the app on another device.

    I downloaded an app on my iPad 1 a few years ago and recently I bought an iPad mini, but the problem is I can't download the app for free! Even though I logged in the same account app store tells me to buy the app. What do I have to do so that I don't have to pay twice for a same app?

    If you are using the Purchased tab where your purchases are listed to re-download it then you shouldn't be charged. If you are being asked to enter your credit card details when trying to download it via that tab then that will be for account verfication purposes - you are currently in the country where your account is based ?

  • Bought new Mac on 3rd June - could i speak to Apple and ask for free upgrade - this is my first Mac!

    I have never been a Mac owner before now… I considered carefully about whether to buy a Mac or PC and in the end chose my new iMac with i5 Core Processor. I had been a PC user prior to this. I also got 3 years Apple Care. The thing is, if I had been aware that Snow Leopard was going to be available to those buying from 6th June for free, I would probably have delayed buying until then. I am wondering if Apple would be likely to show good faith and give the Snow Leopard for free seeing as I had seriously considered the choice of a Mac and am so close to the date of inclusion. I am sure it would be good PR for Apple to say yes. What do people suggest I do?

  • Hi, I have an older iMac (3 years). Can I still download iWork apps like Pages and Numbers for free?

    Hi, I have an older iMac on 10.6.8. I don't think it came with all the iWork apps. I got GarageBand and iMovie with the system. I'm wondering if I can still get Pages and Keynote for this iMac as free downloads, or are they all just apps for purchase now?

    You will need to purchase the retail box DVD from a third party such as Amazon.com or eBay.com.

  • Why can't I download pages/iWork current version on my new ipad2

    4.3.5 is my system how should get pages? Get5.0 or download old pages

    Many Apps have been re-written specifically for iOS 5 so you have to first plug your iPad into your computer, open iTunes and make sure that both the iTunes version and your iOS version are the latest.
    Until that's done you wont be able to install or update some Apps.
