I bought "Numbers" Apps for my iPad and now I have a new iMac but the Apps didn't install? I thought when you bought an App that is on one device it would be available on all other devices? The App store is now wanting me to pay for the Apps again? Is this right? Do I have to buy another version of these Apps for the iMac?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
Hi rokcp,
Yes. All the iWork apps (Numbers, Pages and Keynote) come in two versions; one for iOS (iPad and other iThings) and another for OS X (iMac, MacBook and other OS X things). You will have to pay for the OSX version.

Ian.
Hi rokcp,
You missed on word, and a phrase in your understanding:
...When you bought an App that is on one device it would be available on all other compatible devices registered under the same Apple ID.
It's the compatible part that's important here. Devices running OS X are not compatible with iWork for iOS apps (or any other iOS apps).
Regards,
Barry
are Apps really available for all devices?
