Why should I pay for applications that were free?

MacBook Pro, end of 2015.

I downloaded applications iWork - Pages, Numbers, Keynote, free. I had to format my mac, and now when I go to download, they are $20 each.

Can I please get my apps back? I seriously need them and I don't have $60. I have found no help on the support page.

Thank you

Hello, this is actually quite common and has happened on several occasions, most of the time that you just have to make sure that you use the same apple that you used when you obtained the mac ID. Apps should be free again.  Hope this helps - zerotwo77

  • Why should I pay for a free service from Microsoft

    I tried to connect my phone to my laptop, only to be told that the driver is up-to-date. Tried to get the driver free prog Microsoft update only to be directed to the prog Driver Support. It scanned my pc and I have 13 obsolete drivers of recons. To register and pay $ 30 to correct? WHY

    There is no "update driver" program from Microsoft. Manually run Windows Update will show all option updates to Microsoft but they tend to be a little behind the releases from manufacturers. It depends on what you said that phone drivers have been exceeded.

    Otherwise, you will need to check the site of the manufacturers for updates. Download drivers composing each manufacturer such as graphics, chipset, LAN etc. don't stay with drivers of laptop manufacturers as they will be compatible.

    Devices such as printers and in this case the phone should come directly from the website of the manufacturer (Nokia, Samsung, Apple, etc.) and nowhere else so carefully the web link. Normally, if a device or a program reports that it's outdated it should provide direct link to their own page update.

    Whatever it is the 3rd update of the advantage driver web sites (driverworld.com, drivercollection.com etc.) must be avoided.

    If you have used any other processor of professional quality (for example, Microsoft Word), and then just go ahead and use the current culture of free (financially) applications on devices you mention. It will not take too long before you understand point Apple of giving them. No application in the world can open documents Pages but the most recent version.

    Free will begin to erode when Pages for Mac forget how to open a perfectly fine document that you saved an hour or two ago. Or you realize you have to press the SHIFT key every time you want a first word in a sentence. Or you can not bind the text boxes to the text layout advanced stream. Or you can't do data merge / e-mail. Table of contents page links or comments will not export to PDF.

    Pages is not a clone of Word, and you'll quickly realize that Pages input/export deal with the translation. Open a blank document. Type the letter "A". Export to Word .docx. It will be 494KO in size. Do the same thing in LibreOffice or MS Word and it will be 8 KB.

  • How can I disable the Adobe applications that were installed on a computer that is no longer available?

    How can I disable the Adobe applications that were installed on a computer that is no longer available? I have a creative cloud subscription, and I want to disable a device that is no longer available. I would have thought that there will be an option to disable all devices somewhere in my account, but I can't.

    This isn't what Mary said.  You get 2 facilities by title.  You should have disabled software on your old machine first, but since you have now 2 methods to disable older facilities.

    My first recommendation was to contact support with your product purchase information and disable them.

    Mary offered another option which is to go ahead and install the software on your new hard drive.   If an error saying: you have exceeded the limit of 2 machine, press the button continue to disable older facilities.  You will then be able to install on you're your new hard drive plus one more.

    Make sense?

  • Why should I pay to get a new product key when on my computer is incorrect?

    By following the instructions on the internet, I got my product key of the section "Computer" from the Start button. It is only 20 digits and, therefore, will not work.  Why should I pay to get a new product key when on my computer is incorrect?

    Original title: product key

    Sometimes, it might be the battery, or below.  Sometimes they include it in a separate box with the recovery CD disks.  It's the PC manufacturer to decide how they want to, so you will need to call and ask them in particular.  Sorry, we can't be more helpful here.

It is impossible to talk to or e-mail to a human being. I just want to have my work in photoshop again like in the demo. Thank you

    Photoshop is part of the collection of product called creative cloud. If you pay $9.99 a month, you have the Creative cloud photography Plan, which lets you run Photoshop and Lightroom until you stop paying. So, you could have what you need - check your receipt.

    Despite the 'cloud' in the name, the apps run locally.

  • Why am I still paying for software that I don't HAVE?

    I would like to know why? I had already paid for the use of rental of Flash ONLY for ONE YEAR, but not for long. I never even downloaded the new Animate CC version. I REFUSE to download its latest version or reinstall any old version of the Flash software.

    I have repeatedly tried to UNSUBSCRIBE, but Adobe won't let me. I did EVERYTHING as instructed by Adobe, but they are always sending me round in loops. I answered questions and have always come back to square one.

  • First 10 items does not work with the latest NVIDIA drivers, and adobe and NVIDIA will not solve the problem, why should I pay a fee to upgrade to the latest elements when you fix it, and I find myself with old drivers that affect the game?

    I have the question well documented with newer NVIDIA drivers impacting on the preview of the videos in the first 10 elements. Download driver of 5/2013 has solved the problem, however, there whims... which I do not think that I would have to pay for an upgrade of the elements to get rid of the question with my video card. What can we do about it? $89 for your problem is not something that I like...

    This is a user to user forum, so I'm not sure how to answer your question.

    Problems with the version 10 and nVidia drivers began about a year or two ago - when version 10 was already on two years and two generations of old. So I'm not sure that adobe is going to offer a fix for an old version of the program. Particularly when the nVidia drivers seem to be originally.

    Certainly, you can contact Adobe Customer Service and see if they go on you some sort of agreement on another version of the program. Or you can take a copy of old or second-hand version 11, 12 or 13 on Amazon or eBay for pretty cheap.

    I heard about people who work around this problem by loading a previous version of a driver from nVidia. But those who seem to be options. The least likely scenario is that Adobe will award a fix for a four-year program.
