Apple Brothers Loves Mac Iwork/ilife For Mac

Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. The best apps made by Apple for iPhone and iPad are finally available for free to all users. As part of an update to its iWork and iLife apps this morning, Apple changed the price for both the Mac.

Apple today updated several of its Mac and iOS apps, making them available for all Mac and iOS users for free. From a report: iMovie, Numbers, Keynote, Pages, and GarageBand for both Mac and iOS devices have been updated. Previously, all of these apps were provided for free to customers who purchased a new Mac or iOS device, but now that purchase is not required to get the software. Many Apple customers were already likely eligible to download the software at no cost if they had made a device purchase in the last few years.

Is Device limited to mobile phone & purchasing apps? Because we sure as hell have 'Devices' in the house older than 2013 that came with those titles for free. On desktops & laptops.

That's why OP's original question is still valid. Do you mean the mobile apps are now finally free too? (know yer history son). There's a few different things going on here with regards to the Mac versions.

Versions of iWork prior to 2011 were traditional boxed commercial products - as in, you went to the store and bought a disc. The Mac App Store had been introduced in 2010 and in 2011 Apple released iWork '09, the then most recent version, on the Mac App Store as three separate apps at $19.99 a piece (which meant that the three together were cheaper than the $79 they had been charging for the iWork DVD-ROM). In October 2013 they released new versions of all three, now just called 'iWork' with no particular year or version designation, and now exclusively on the Mac App Store. They also made this version a free upgrade for iWork '09 users both to reward existing owners but also because this allowed them to transition to using the Mac App Store as their central software update platform.

At this time, however, they were still three $19.99 applications. The way the free upgrade worked was that the Mac App Store looked to see if you had iWork '09 installed and if so it would install the newer iWork (leaving the old one intact) and associate your Apple ID account in the Mac App Store as having owned the apps. At the time there was a trick people discovered - by accident or design the Mac App Store was incapable of determining whether or not your copy of iWork '09 was the full version or the 30-day trial, which Apple had rescinded from their website but which was still floating around.

If you installed iWork '09's trial and rebooted, the Mac App Store would start installing the new version of iWork and your account would now own the latest iWork even though you had not purchased iWork '09. In a statement, Apple acknowledged that this was possible but that they thought the convenience of upgrading and Mac App Store association was worth the potential loss in sales they might suffer as a result. In October 2014 Apple announced that the three iWork apps would be free with new hardware purchases. Prior to this point you had to either qualify for the free iWork '09 upgrade or purchase the apps, and anyone who didn't do the trick above would still need to buy the apps. What's changed today is that now the three iWork apps are outright free to everyone, not just people who bought a Mac after 2014 or were willing to perform the iWork '09 trial trick. If you had them on devices prior to 2013 for 'free' then either you had taken advantage of some promotion or some bundling, or you may have gotten the upgrade as a result of the 2013 rollout.

The iOS versions of iWork followed a similar trajectory, though skipping the part about being on DVD prior to 2013 and any upgrade tricks - they were released as three $9.99 apps, free with hardware purchases past 2014, and now just free to anyone. I always though it was ridiculous too. Turns out if you use some kind of profile management system to control a swag of iPads at a school for example then if you wanted to push out these iWork apps you'd have to purchase a copy for each device (because setting up management usually means wiping the iPads clean)! This is nuts considering each device already had an entitlement for these programs out of the box - I never understood why Apple wanted to double dip this way apart from the benefits of double di. I still don't get it. What else would you run these apps on if not a Mac or iOS device? (To me, they've always been free so.what changed?) You don't have to purchase a NEW iOS or Mac to get these apps anymore.

That's what's different. Of course, given that Apple has had this thing going on for years now, I'd be surprised if there was someone that wasn't already eligible for them. You'd have to be toting around a really old iPhone (probably around the 3GS era) or a really old Mac (over 10 years old) to not q.

Apple announced the previous change in 2013, as stated in the summary. Specifically, that was October of 2013, but the iPhone 5s was released in September. Thus, early adopters could have a device that was only recently discontinued and still fully supported by the latest version of iOS that is ineligible. Additionally, since Apple did, indeed, manufacture iMacs in 2013, there is no need to go back to 2007 in order to find a Mac that would not have been eligible for this, e. all of these apps were provided for free to customers who purchased a new Mac or iOS device I still don't get it.

( To me, they've always been free so.what changed?) They were free to download for you because you purchased a new Mac and/or iOS device. If you have only purchased Apple devices on the used market in the last four years or so, this would have excluded you, which I think is the part you're missing (besides the fact that a 4-year-old Mac would still be pretty good at this point and a four-year-old iPhone wouldn't be the worst thing, either, so it's not necessarily the case that everyone would have purchased a new-or used, though previously ineligible-Mac. I use Keynote to give my icloud.com presentation. To give the presentation I use both my iPhone and iPad. The iPhone plugs into the projector (after turning on Do Not Disturb, of course!). After launching Keynote on both devices I then use the apple.com option from the iPad to connect to the iPhone (via bluetooth or wifi).

The larger screen on the iPad makes it easy to see the slide side-by-side with my presenter notes, plus I'm free to walk around the stage without worrying about tripping over wires. There's also a apple.com that lets you point out things and draw on the slides during the presentation. I really don't want to see some huge charge on my credit card 'cause the kids were playing with the computer. If that's really your only hesitation you can get a prepaid Visa at Walmart for less than any of these apps used to cost, then you'll get them all.

Hey, I still use iMovie after trying to make any of the open source 'options' work at all for very simple home-movie editing. They were all crash-prone, couldn't handle the video from my Android or Canon, or just had a UI that was so tough to use that. But can I update them without providing a credit card number and creating an Apple account? There's a reason I use LibreOffice daily and don't touch Pages.

I really don't want to see some huge charge on my credit card 'cause the kids were playing with the computer. If your only fear is your kids, then you don't need to give them your AppleID password and they won't be able to run up the charges.

If you want to avoid a CC on file with Apple, you can set up an AppleID with 'none' for payment information, and just fund it with gift cards if needed. Zero cost purchases work fine with no payment info, however to set up 'family sharing' with linked accounts to share purchases and kids needing approval before they can make purchases on their kid accounts, I think a CC on file.

For the Mac software, it looks like from a Mac OS X 10.11 'El Capitan' installation, only GarageBand can be purchased, as the latest version of the other applications require macOS 10.12 Sierra. If you make the purchase on 'Sierra' so that the software is listed as 'purchased' in your account, you can probably download versions that will work on earlier OS versions - at least that is how 'purchased' software typically works in my experience. For the iOS software, making the purchase from within iTunes gets th.

Apple Brothers Loves Mac Iwork/ilife For Mac Pro

What an ignorant comment. Like typical spec-whores, you don't look at the quality of the product, just the immediate specs.

For example, Apple's MacBooks/Pro don't throttle the CPU even at high workloads because they properly designed the chassis (using aluminium, an excellent thermal conductor) and cooling system to handle the heat. Virtually every competing laptop which is cheaper but uses a 45W Core i7 will throttle since the plastic chassis, can't dissipate the heat as well. Its one of the reasons Dell's XPS 15' has problems with capacitor whine. Look at the price Microsoft sells its 13.3' Surface Book and then compare it to the 2016 15' MacBook Pro.

On price, they're almost the same, but the MBP has double the processor (4-core 45W/6MB L3 vs 2-core 15W/4MB L3). Also, the MBP has 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports all directly connected to the CPU (which means you get the full 40Gb/s bandwidth unlike any other laptop with TB3 which goes through the PCH and thus suffers 'overhead'). The Macbook Pro I used got hot enough to be uncomfortable, like standing next to a heater.

I don't care how well it dissipates heat when it's being dissipated into my lap. Its PC replacement doesn't get hot. It has a powerful fan and huge vents, so if you think it's throttling, the burden of proof is on you. Since I have no interest in anything other than a traditional laptop, I'm not going to analyze the Microsoft Surface. As for the Thunderbolt, connections that exceed the speed of the connect.
