AppleID is correct. Indeed, the Mac AppStore required my password to update. Yes - I checked where you suggested.
I am using the right (and one-and-only) AppleID used on this machine...ever.

Nov 6, 2013 2:44 PM in response to Carolyn Samitby Michael Battenfield,AppleID is correct (and as I posted - it is the ONLY AppleID I have ever had or used).
Have also followed suggestion on another post regarding the possibility of the spotlight indexing possibly being corrupt - so followed Apple's steps to force it to rebuild that index...
I have also rebooted, run Disc Utility and rebuilt permissions.
Nothing ....

Nov 6, 2013 9:11 PM in response to Michael Battenfieldby zhengxi,I have a same problem
please go to the folder.. /Library/Application Support/App Store
there is a file called adoption.plist
according to a apple adviser, sign out your ID in the mac store, drag that file to your desktop, and reopen mac store, sign in, try again.
in my case, I cant accept iLife in Purchased tab.
and I open the file adoption.plist, it says cant find the serial number of my mac air..
so good luck
pls update me if u solved your problem with the method that I mentioned

Nov 6, 2013 10:18 PM in response to Linc Davisby Michael Battenfield,And no - Pages is not listed in my purchases (I got it on disc -).
What is interesting -it has been updated before via Software Update/App Store.
None of my iWork apps are listed in "purchases".

Nov 7, 2013 8:12 AM in response to Linc Davisby Michael Battenfield,Has Apple recruited a new batch of support folks who are absolutely clueless? I'm getting tired of repeating myself - then being asked the same question a few minutes later...
So far, been told it is because I have to BUY the new version of iWorks (wrong - it isn't even available for sale). Then told I must have an older version and there is an in-between version that must be purchased (wrong - I have the latest version prior to Pages 5).
Ugh... Apple Support use to be helpful...
