Older iWork´09 and iLife´11 versions - updates to newer versions not free?

I have the exact same problem and would like to know the answer. Also bought iLife 11 on CD back when it came out and there was no App Store and I also cannot seem to get the updates for free anywhere.

I'm in the exact same situation. I can't find direct download links for these and the in app updater doesn't show an update. I hope we're not screwed.

Indeed, exactly the same here, I also bought those two on CD when they both came out, up untill now I was able to update to newer versions without any problems. I hope they also give iWork/iLife disc versions an update as I assume that people who bought these from the App Store just receive an update of the apps (like Pages, iPhoto and iMovie do on my iPad, right now).

Apparently I missed the cutoff date for the free upgrade because i purchased a new mac by *2* days! ugh. they really should have made it easier.

same here, i bought iLife 11 Familiy License on CD at release date. How can we update this products without to buy these apps again in MAS.

Yes, I'm in the same boat here, I have the CD version of iLife with no updates.

Same problem here too... Although to confuse matters, Garageband is free for me, I have to pay for the other two apps, iMovie and iPhoto... How GB became associated with my MAS account remains a mystery.

(I also have this problem with iWork)

Will be calling support in the morning to question. I certainly do not want to be paying twice for a product/software and think it is deeply unfair if they think that is fine and expect me too.

Apparently Garageband is now free for ANY Mac running Mavericks - at least that's what it says all the way on the bottom of this page : http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/

It says : "

** GarageBand is free on the Mac App Store for all compatible Mac computers with OS X Mavericks. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available with an in-app purchase. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID."

It was free for me as well and I never purchased it on the MAS. Only on the iLife 11 CD way back when

Well, concerning GarageBand, this is free for everyone, also the people who didn't buy iLife 11 at all. Only if you want extra sounds you need to pay 5$. So this is not strange, with Garageband this is free for anyone.

When you contacted them, please let us know what they said.

iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband are free. However, you must be running Mavericks in order to download and use them. Therefore your Mac must be capable of running Mavericks:

The following is from: Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks.

• iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
• MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
• MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
• MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
• Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
• Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
• Xserve (Early 2009)

iWork is not as it's an upgrade and not an update. Upgrades for iWork have always had to be purchased. However, the previous iWork apps will work fine with Mavericks.

OT

That isn't an issue, the MAS still shows iPhoto and iMovie as paid for apps. Ive running Mavericks for sometime now.

It may be a case that Apple are rolling it out gradually.

About an hour ago GarageBand in the app store for me came up with a price, where as now it is free.

So fingers crossed the rest will follow shortly???

Try clicking on iPhoto and it should take you to a page in the App Store where it will show free.

I aint running Mavericks yet... although I get your point above. After iOS7 i am waiting a while before going ahead. Although, my flatmate has upgraded and is still getting the same results when it comes to iLife apps...???

As for iWork, oh well, pay for it, it is then I guess...

I will update as to Apple's repsonse tomorrow... Paying twice for something already paid for is not on...

I agree if i cant get the new ilife apps for free fine.
