I bought an iPad Air on Sunday, and to keep that in mind, this was an open box, so they let me 50 dollars off. Anyways, the next day I check on the App Store and it does not say anything about free apple apps. It just show the price. Nothing pops up too... I have tried sign in and out and refreshing it but no difference. Is there any other way to get free apps like iWork?
As I understand it, you activate that ipad. And when you activate that iPad it registers with apple 'ah, bought since September one' and when you go into the app store, you'll see iWorks apps for free as long as you're signed with the apple ID you used to activate that ipad.
The 'freeness' of hte apps are tied to the apple ID. Me, for example, bought my Touch in June so I'm not eligible for free iWorks since I didn't activate a new device after September.
Before you can download free apps:
1. Make sure you are using IOS 7.
2. Make sure your iPad is registered in My Support Profile.

I got that, but what's next?
I have tried to refreshing it, still showing the price. I have tried logging out and log back in again, still doesn't work. Is there any specific details that I'm missing?
Tell me step by step on what I have to do. Like all the way to the intro that says hello.please I need to find another way.
Restart iPad and try again.

I was eligible when I purchased a Mac mini for the desk top version of iWork. The price showed up until I clicked on the app details. I made the purchase on the computer, but not the Mac mini. No charge.
I've tried that but it's still the same. Dang it everyone gets that to work... I did check on the app details still shows the prices. That killed my throat. I feel left alone that everyone can get one or the other to work... Any more ideas?
Thanks, that worked for me! The apps were free after I did the following:
1) signed out of the App Store
2) registered my new device
3) signed back into the App Store
The reason it is not working is because it is open boxed
How can I make iWork free on iPad Air?
