You can install any Apple application from the online Mac App Store using your own Apple ID.


1 - delete all the Apple applications that were not installed using your Apple ID

2 - empty the Trash (Finder > Empty Trash)

3 - open then sign in to the Mac App Store using your own Apple ID

4 - enter the name of the an application in the search entry box

5 - click on the download button (looks like a cloud)

6 - repeat for other applications



Keynote, Pages, Numbers, iMovie and Garage Band are free to install.
