Oh, so you...
- purchased a new MBP where the apps were pre-installed,
- but migrated - incl apps - from an older Mac which might have had older, pre-App Store versions?
Okay. First some information, just so you know:
- Applications are mostly accessible for all users on a machine, and are located in a folder by the same name in the root of your start-up disk. Usually there are only few exceptions of apps limited to one user. Those you would find in the user's Home folder - again, in a folder named Applications.
- When migrating apps with the Migration Assistant, older apps will not overwrite newer apps that already exist on the machine; so, if you had newer versions already, they should still be there.
- If the apps were in the user account you migrated (= in its Home folder on the older Mac), they should now also be at the same location on the new Mac (= in that user's Home folder). You may check, but I don't expect that to be the case.
- More info on Migration, as well as a lot very good info on Time Machine, on Pondini's site.
What to do:
Launch the apps and check "About..." from the menu bar. Anything "... '09" would be actual versions - which they should be if you received them with a new Mac 3 weeks ago.
If you find older versions for reasons unknown, or for updating the actual versions via the App Store, contact Apple. You are still within the free phone support phase that every owner of a new Mac has. As mentioned in my previous post, they should give you a download code which you can redeem in the App Store.
