Why is IWork only free for new devices?

Will it ever be available on the App Store for free? Or do I have to buy a new device to get IWork? I really need these apps for school and I don't want to buy them if they are going to be free.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
These apps are free for new devices. If you already have the iPad, you have to purchase them. They are not very expensive, so you can purchase iTunes gift cards and use them to purchase the applications. There's no other solution, apart from buying a new iPad

Cannot get iWorks for free, for new device

I bought a new iPad mini with retina display. I logged in to App store and I didn't download iWorks for free at that time. Later when I logged in to iTunes again, it indicated I need to pay instead of free. How can i get it back for free?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried logging out of your account, back in and then trying again.

Why doesn't Apple make iPhoto free to older versions of the iPhone, iPad, or iPod? They made it free for the new products and I don't understand they don't make it free for every device.

I want iPhoto and iMovie and I don't understand why Apple doesn't make them free for every device they have.

They are not exactly free on the new devices either. iMovie and iPhoto are included, when you buy a new device. You're purchase price for your older devices did not include the apps, so you have to buy them, sorry.

Why pages is not free for me

why pages is not free for me, i´m just update to maveriks but i can´t download pages, keynote or numbers for free, why?

The update is available for those using iWork '09. If you have never previously purchased iWork ’09 and have not bought a new Mac since October 1, you will have to purchase the applications. There are several reasons why the updates don't show as free for those who already have iWork '09 installed.
1. You must have iWork '09 apps installed & they must be updated to the x.3 version. You can also download the standalone updater from this page.
2. If you are not using English as the primary language for your Mac, change to English & run Software Update. You can then switch back to your preferred language.
3. Go to Mac App Store (MAS) > Click on Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads. You will need to individually click into each application > Click update > enter in your Apple ID & password and then it will start updating.
4. Open App Store on your Mac & look at the buttons under Keynote, Pages & Numbers. If it does not say “Update” click Account under Quick Links, enter your password & click “View Account.” Next, click the “Reset” button to the right of “Reset all warnings for buying and downloading” at the bottom of this page, & click Done. Check your updates tab & iWork & iLife updates should now appear.
These are the ones I've seen work for others.

Why can I only order 1 EDGE device when browsing online?

Several EDGE plan / share MORE plan questions from potential customer:
1. Why can I only order 1 EDGE device online when browsing options?
2. I have a large family, especially now that my mother is suddenly unable to live alone. How many total lines and how many EDGE phones are allowed on one plan?
3. Since my mother already has a VZW iphone4, can I add her to the plan at $15 for her line if I buy 10G or more data?
My family has a hodgepodge of plans, since VZW was too expensive compared to other options in the past and some of the older ones have had smart phones longer than others, etc. Ultimately I am trying to find out if I can add 5 EDGE devices, plus one already owned device at the $15 rate for that line, as long as I have 10+ GB of data (probably looking at 12 to be safe).
Is this possible? And can I order online? It's really difficult to make it to a store during hours right now.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Thank you both for your help. I have a few follow-up questions for the best path forward if I switch to Verizon for all of our lines--quite a few phones to order and numbers to port form various carriers (StraightTalk, T-mobile prepaid, ATT).
-Can I order the first EDGE phone online, creating my account and porting my number, then wait two days (so that I have received and activated my new phone), then add the next line / EDGE phone / port number, and continue in that fashion?
If not, can I go in person and order multiple phone lines / ports to the EDGE program on the share more everything plan at the same time?
Or,
Can I do a combination--go in person to add my first four lines, then add the others individually online? Is there a time requirement between changes?
Thank you again.

Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times

Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times.
Please help to set it up, thanks in advance

You need to give more info..
Firstly only works for what.. networking.. backup.. wireless. You need more nouns.. more adjectives... describe what you want and what fails.. then we can figure out why.
Most likely you have bridged it when it should be in router mode..
Most likely you are using Lion or ML which has the airport utility bridge the TC by default.
Change it to working as a router. That might help.
If you press reset button it will default back to router btw.
If you are on Lion.. use a real utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1547

How can I turn off that Maveriks at iMac is scanning continuously for new devices?

Hi, I have a iMac (early 2008) updatet to 10.9 Maveriks with Bluetooth mouse, mousepad en keyboard. I listen at home to music with a Onkyo TX-NR626 A/V receiver (with Bluetooth) via my iMac, iPad and android device.
When I startup or wake up my iMac, Maveriks is always staring to scan for new Bluetooth devices?!. Than every time, my receiver (also when the receiver is turned off) is turning on and change to Bluetooth mode.
I can't turn off the Bluetooth function at my Onkyo TX-NR626 A/V receiver. With Mountain Lion, I didn't had this problems.
I want to turn of the continuously scanning procedure after startup or wake up on my iMac.
My question is:
How can I turn off that Maveriks is scanning continuously for new devices?
How can I turn off the detection mode of my iMac?

Kinda funny... I found this article while searching for an answer to my question:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610
At the very end of the article, it mentions the "bug" that only one app on Windows can play direct sound at a time. That's exactly the "feature" I'm looking for on the Mac. Funny how one person's bug is another's feature.

Disable scanning for new devices?

Another new user question: Is there a way to disable the automatic scanning for new devices in Logic Pro 9? At the moment, my system is connected to a KVM (w/USB) switch, and every time I switch to the system running logic, it asks me if I want to use my USB headset, which is on the KVM switch, as an audio device (I don't). It would be nice if I could turn off that function and scan manually when I add a device that I want to use with Logic. Thanks...

Hi Stephan,
Not yet. This is a new feature we added in December to demonstrate during registration that the Service Request automation is working.
While these Demo Service Requests are real Service Requests, they are held in a special queue and not routed to TAC engineers. Smart Call Home will automatically close every Demo Service Request after a short time.
In the next release, we plan to implement a toggle in the Smart Call Home portal so that you can control this feature.
Feel free to continue registering devices. Demo SRs are just an additional validation that everything is working. They shouldn't create any additional work for you or for TAC.

There were some updates on my Apps. I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud. Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Look here for help on managing iCloud storage.

Why is visual voicemail free for iPhone but not for other phones?

I recently activated an iPhone on my line -- temporarily -- and found that visual voicemail was included and didn't cost a dime. Can anyone explain why visual voicemail is free for iPhones but if you want it for any other phone it bears a monthly charge?

Also VVM is also free for everyone. The $2.99 is for the premium version. You can search the FAQ and there's a pricing list and shows what you get.

Bluetoothe keeps searching for new devices

Hi everyone,
I have a BT connected problem with my Iphone 4S. In contrast to many here, I can connect with my headset (Jawbone) fine and my phone sees pretty much anything. However, once I activate BT, it will keep searching for new devices all the time and this eats the batter up pretty fast (by mid-day it is 50% gone, without my doing much, except for a few calls using my headset). Does anybody know how can BT stopped from looking for new devices unless directed to do so?
Many thanks and best regards,
Ed Moses

Solved : I changed the name of my Aperture Library and it works now…

Free iWork & iLife for new device?

Hi,
I activated the new device iPhone 5C, and as promised by Apple want to download the free apps iWork & iLife. But I see only the possibility to download for $ 9.99. Help me please.

I figured out that now you can download them for free just by contacting iTunes Store Support and requesting redeem codes for apps made by Apple.

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,

IWork for new devices on iOS7 for free - IT WORKS :)

1. You go to AppStore -> Purchased
2. In Search box write "iWork" - and turns out that all iWork is for free - in Purchased section

I had the same problem... missing free iWork apps. I contacted Apple though the support website, opened a case... within 24 hours, I had a reply asking for my device serial number - and like magic, I can now download them for free.
Apple is very nice about it, I think they just need to reset a flag on existing customers who bought new devices = then they are free.
