Why do I have to pay for OS X Server again after upgrade to Mavericks?

This morning I upgraded my Mac Mini from Mountain Lion to Mavericks. After the upgrade I noticed the Server app wasn't available. When I try to start it I see
error that this version isn't compatible with my version of OS X. When I go to the AppStore I see that I need to pay €17,99 again for the Server app. Surely I don't have to purchase the software again, right?

This is the way it's always been.
Server app was never compatible between releases. Lion, Mountain Lion each had their own version.
Lion cost money, Lion Server App cost money
Mountain Lion cost money, OS X Server 2 (Mountain Lion) cost money
Mavericks is free to upgrade to, OS X Server 3 (Mavericks) costs money
NB. If it's an iTunes Store issue, just buy it and ask for a refund when they fix the issue. But i doubt it's an issue.

  • Why do I have to pay for free aps?

    Why do I have to pay for free ads. I look in my bank
    Statements and says they charge like 3 dollars but the ad
    Says free. This isnt right nor is it fair I already paid 300
    For the itouch why charge me for the free aps. It's not like I
    Don't buy things from the ap store. No I don't not download
    Pro -aps.

    The price of an app, and how it is marketed, is controlled by that app's developer. They certainly may advertise that an app is free, but the App Store price is the only price. If the App Store says the app is free (ie, the download button says "Free" instead of listing a price), then it's free.
    If you are seeing a bill in your bank statement for a free app, that is probably coming from some kind of in-app purchase. Many apps have additional features or special game items that can be purchased within the app. A free app may still have such in-app purchases.
    It's important to note that in-app purchasing should be a very transparent process. It should be made clear that you are making a purchase, and you should have to enter your Apple ID password. If you have found an app that does not make this process transparent, and hides the fact that a purchase with real money is being made, that needs to be reported to Apple as a violation of the App Store rules. If Apple agrees with you, they will remove the app from the store until the developer submits a more compliant update.

  • Why do I have to pay for iPages when I already have it on my computer?

    My iCloud home page shows five icons including iWork. When I click on the iWork icon I am shown a link that takes me to the iTunes store where I am asked to pay $9.99 for each of the iWork components. I already have these installed on my iMac. Why do I have to pay for them again?

    Different operating systems. Your iMac runs OS X and the iWork
    applications you have on your iMac are written for OS X. On your
    iDevice, the operating system is iOS and you would need a version
    of the apps written for that. If you are not planninig to use the apps
    on your iDevice (iPhone, iPad, some iPods), you do not need to
    buy them. Having the apps on your iDevices provides instant
    syncing of documents across the iDevices using iCloud. iCloud
    does not provide Google App-like operation if that is what you are
    seeking. If this does not answer your question, perhaps someone
    else will chime in.

  • Why do I have to pay for a app on my iPhone when I have it already on my Ipad

    Why do I have to pay for a app on my iPhone when I have it already on my Ipad

    That's up to the seller of the app. Many, but not all, apps will work on both the iPhone and iPad. For those apps that do you only need to pay for them once, as long as they were purchased with the same Apple ID. But app developers have the option of selling separate versions of their app for iPhone and iPad. For those apps you have to pay for them for each platform.

  • So I had photshop cs5 installed on my pc...i had to get my hard drive replaced! I have the serial number and everything, but I need to know how to download it. I really don't wanna have to pay for the program over again.

    So I had photshop cs5 installed on my pc...i had to get my hard drive replaced! I have the serial number and everything, but I need to know how to download it. I really don't wanna have to pay for the program over again.

    If you registered your product, you should be able to find the download and serial number from your Adobe account.
    https://www.adobe.com/account.html
    Otherwise:
    Download Adobe CS5.5 Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant or Manager) | ProDesignTools
    You might still have to contact Customer Support to reset your Activations, unless you managed to deactivate the original installation.

  • I've already paid for iPhoto but i got a new hard drive put in my computer so do i have to pay for iPhoto and iMovie again?

    I've already paid for iPhoto but i got a new hard drive put in my computer so do i have to pay for iPhoto and iMovie again?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course not. You already purchased iPhoto and iMovie, so you can reinstall them for free.
    If you purchased them from the Mac App Store or you got your Mac after July 2011, open the Mac App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and redownload them. Note that the latest iPhoto and iMovie need OS X Mavericks.
    If you purchased them in a DVD, insert the DVD and install them. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest version.
    If you got your Mac before July 2011, use the Applications Install Disc to install iPhoto and iMovie.

  • When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

    Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
    You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
    // Get the icon from the b3 button
    var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
    // Get  reference to the b0 button
    var f = getField("b0");
    // Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
    f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
    // Show the b0 button
    f.display = display.visible;
    This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.

  • HT4915 Why do I have to pay for iTunes Match subscription to delete songs I've previously purchased from iCloud?

    From the support article, it seems that I have to pay for an iTunes Match subscription in order to permanently delete songs from iCloud.  Is there a way to delete songs from iCloud without having iTunes Match?

    You don't have to sign up to iTunes Match to play your iTunes music purchases through the iPad's Music app (if you've synced or downloaded them to the app).  iTunes Match allows you to store your own music collection (e.g. copied from CDs, bought from other sites) in the cloud as well as the music that you've purchased from iTunes
    From http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ :
    With iTunes in the Cloud, the music you buy from the iTunes Store automatically appears on all your devices.1 And for music you haven’t purchased from iTunes, iTunes Match is the perfect solution. iTunes Match is built right into iTunes on your computer and the Music app on your iOS devices.2 It lets you store your entire collection in iCloud, even music you’ve imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes. When it’s in iCloud, it’s available on all your devices. So you can enjoy all your music anywhere, anytime — on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV.

  • Why do i have to pay for my songs again?

    I've bought a lot of music on Itunes,
    and now i got myself a new MBP, and it takes a lot of time to find all the missing songs and when i find them i have to pay for them again...
    Can this be true??

    Re-downloading for free is not currently available in all countries (re-downloading and iTunes in the Cloud by country). Do the songs show on the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes home page on your computer's iTunes ? Or have you not got a backup copy of your purchases on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto your Macbook Pro and add into its iTunes ?

  • HT202879 Other Word Processors than Pages? & why do we have to pay for an upgrade that is incomplete?

    I am very unhappy.
    In order to access my documents from iCloud I have to upgrade to Mavericks (free, alright) and the new Pages, for which I have to pay.
    The new Pages (and Numbers etc) does not have the same functionality as the one I have been using - yet I have to pay for it. Alright, Apple promises to upgrade in the next six months and add the new functionality. This is not good enough.
    This was a very unpleasant surprise today - when I went to my document that I have been working on on my iPhone and my Mac at various times during the day and the Mac one had changed to 'Untitled 47' and the version on my iPhone would not open on my Mac unless I upgraded to the new Pages - $19.99 - and to OSX Mavericks - free - but I don't want to upgrade yet. And I don't want to pay for a new version of Pages that clearly does not have the same functionality(according to the user comments and the apple page that  this discussion is about).
    I have praised Apple to high heaven for the functionality of iCloud. But this really really annoys me.
    If there's anything I hate its a company I am relying on forcing me to upgrade before they've sorted out the bugs.
    I am definitely considering changing to a different company's word processor - if only they had a word processor that I could use on my Mac and iOS devices.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks Tom! Following your advice I posted a (shorter) version at feedback.
    And thanks for those hints. Yes I've been looking at those ones.
    IA Writer and Byword both can use the iCloud.
    Writeroom only syncs using Dropbox.
    Of course they're very minimal apps compared to Pages, or Word.
    I feel very depressed.
    Perhaps I will have to use one of these and then import into Word for final editing.
    Believe it or not, for a minute I thought MS Word might be a contender for iOS syncing - because there is this thing called Office 365. But look at the reviews.

    I really don't want to deal with all the problems of updating to Mavericks just now.

  • I have a mac 10.5.8, Why do i have to pay for the 10.6 update?

    Friends of mine have Mac's and had the update with no hassle free of charge, so why do i have to pay?

    Hi,
    The current upgrade to Snow Leopard is only $29.00 available here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    The Apple Discussions TOU prevents us from discussing when the next upgrade will be available or how much it will cost.
    See: Terms of Use
    There's no guarantee you won't be able to upgrade directly from Leopard v10.5 to v10.7. You are better off upgrading to Snow Leopard now especially if you want to use the Mac App Store.

  • Why do i have to pay for os x 10.8.4 update

    Just got new mac mini os x 10.8.3 software, gone online to update and had to pay for os x 10.8.4! Why

    You don't have to pay for this version. Open  > Software Update, and install it for free, or download 10.8.4 from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1659
    If you have a new Mac, it's possible that OS X Mountain Lion doesn't appear as purchased in the Mac App Store. Instead, use OS X Recovery when you want to reinstall OS X > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
