Previously, users with old hardware had to pay for each app. Individual programs cost between $5 and $20 each, which would add up if a user with an old Mac or iOS device wanted to download and use both suites. In 2013, Apple made iWork and iLife apps free for new Mac and iOS customers, but that meant you had to purchase a new Apple device before you could download any of those apps at no cost. Until now, users with hardware released before 2013 still had to pay for iWork and iLife if they hadn't made a new Apple purchase recently.
Download Ilife For Mac
Now there's no more confusion surrounding the availability of Apple's basic apps. Anyone with old Apple devices can download the latest versions of iWork and iLife apps for free with no strings attached. It might be too little, too late for some; Apple's App Store is so vast that users with old hardware probably found iWork- and iLife-equivalents to use. While we don't know if future updates of iWork and iLife apps will be compatible with all old devices, it's worthwhile to download the latest versions now.
In reality, that likely matters most to sysadmins managing fleets of devices through the Apple Volume Purchase Program, as noted by a KnowledgeBase article (via MacRumors). Put another way, the only folks who will notice a change are those who might have had trouble downloading the apps in the first place.
A while back I got so frustrated with iMovie on my iPad that in a fit of pique I deleted it. Later on I tried to redownload it but the MacAppStore wanted to charge me for it. TNow I can finally try it again.
iMovie has the longest legacy of the applications included with iLife. It was marketed by Apple as an easy-to-use video editing application that allowed novice users to quickly create professional-quality movies. The first version of the software was released in October 1999 and bundled with the iMac DV. On April 28, 2000, Apple began allowing users to download iMovie free of charge from its website.[3] iMovie remained free until 2003, when it became part of the first iLife release, which was sold for $49. Apple continued to update and develop the existing iMovie software until the release of iLife '08 in 2007, when a new version, iMovie '08, was released. iMovie '08 was completely rewritten as a new application and introduced significant changes to the user interface.[4]
iPhoto was the second application in iLife that began as a free application available for download from Apple's website. The first version of iPhoto was announced at the Macworld Conference & Expo January 3, 2002, and released January 7, 2002. It was billed as being the "missing link" in photography. In addition to allowing users to import, organize, and perform basic edits on their photos, iPhoto also let users print photos in a variety of ways, including as a bound book.[5] Subsequent versions of iPhoto have added a number of features, including automatic organization by events,[4] faces (using facial recognition technology), and places.[6] iPhoto also includes a full-screen editing mode and a feature called "Photocasting" (a way to share photos with others directly from within iPhoto).[7]
iDVD was first announced on January 9, 2001. It was bundled with the Power Mac G4, the first Mac model with a SuperDrive that could read and write both CDs and DVDs. The first version of iDVD introduced a simple way to design customized DVDs with menus, backdrops, slideshows and home movies that could be played back on most DVD players.[8] iDVD was never released as a download. Instead, it was bundled with the first version of iLife, released in 2003.
I bought a Mac that is only a few months old. My understanding was that it is supposed to come with iLife (iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand) either preinstalled or available as a "free" download in the Mac App store. However, this doesn't seem to be the case as it is is not installed and the Mac App Store requires that I pay for it before downloading it.
Additionally, both new and refurbished Mac purchased from Apple or an Authorized Reseller will have iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand pre-installed, with no need to download anything other than updates to those pre-installed apps.
Since you are not seeing those Apps for redemption / re-download in the Mac App Store, let's speculate on what might have happened. If your Mac was purchased used, it's possible that the seller wiped the Mac and reinstalled OS X. This is common practice to ensure a clean system for the new user and to remove any of the seller's personal data. However, iLife is a separate install from OS X, so if the seller neglected to re-install iLife, that's why you're not seeing it.
If you did indeed purchase it used, your best recourse is to bring the issue up with the seller. If it was new or refurbished, contact Apple and they should give you a code to download iLife. They might also be able to help to tell you whether the serial number of the Mac you now own has already redeemed those apps or help you to redeem the license for those apps if they actually transferred to you with the purchase of the Mac.
Yep, I found that out last night. I went to download Pages on my iPad, and found out I couldn't because I don't have iOS 10 on it. I went to upgrade the OS... and found out my iPad is too old for 10. Sad.
But what about people that are unable or unwilling to install the latest versions of MacOS? I cannot find any option to download (or buy) an older version of apps like Keynote, Pages, Numbers, etc. (Nor can I find any info about which version of those apps is compatible with which version of MacOS.)
As much as it would be nice if Apple gave all old stuff away for free, or even kept old versions available for sale, I presume they've done the math and determined that it would be a significant expense that would benefit very few people because those who don't upgrade to new hardware tend not to buy (or even download) new software either.
Hi vincent,I clicked on the IWork Suite link and IWork downloaded fine but when I looked in my applications I never saw Ilife which is what my main goal to get was. If you have any answers please get back as soon as possible.Thanks
I have a MacBook (late 2006) running OSX 10.6.8. I would like to download iMovie either '09 or '11, but from the Mac App Store, I get a message saying I need OSX 10.7.4. I do not want to pay to update to Lion or Mountain Lion because I am getting a new MBP soon. I also want to DOWNLOAD it, not purchase and old version of iLife on a DVD. Is there any way I can do this?
I bought a used macbook pro recently (it's a mid 2012 model). I then updated it to OS X mavericks. The problem is I can't seem to download ilife apps (imovie, iphotos ect.) for free like I should be able to. They are listed under the free apps in the mac app store but it still seems to want me to buy it for full price.
Dilansir dari MacRumors, Apple belum mengubah keterangan iMovie, GarageBand dan iWork. Penjelasannya masih sama, yaitu bisa kamu download gratis untuk pembeli produk Apple di tahun 2013 atau lebih baru.
Apple originally made iTunes, iPhoto, and iMovie available for free via the Internet, while iDVD was available only with computers that included SuperDrives. A while after the release of iDVD, Apple coined the name "iLife" for the whole suite, offering it on CD for US$49.95, while continuing to provide everything but iDVD for free download. In January 2004, Apple released GarageBand, introduced new versions of iDVD, iPhoto, and iMovie, renamed the package iLife '04, and changed the availability. iTunes is separately available for free download through Apple's web site. Although previous editions can still be downloaded for free, the latest versions of iMovie and iPhoto are only available through iLife, which is now bundled with all new Macintosh computers.

So you did a clean install, erasing the drive and starting from scratch?That's trouble. I hope iLife is the only issue you have.Is this a brand new MacBook Air? As in the last few weeks?If so, they what you actually received was a copy of iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand from the Mac App Store for free. So you should be able to just go into the Mac App Store and go to those three apps, or look under "purchases" and re-download them. Of course if you never registered your Mac and set it up before you did the restore, then I'm not sure how it would know you own those three apps.
Beautiful - Thanks! I forgot that I got iLife from the App Store. I signed in, and all 3 programs are there for re-download.Yes, it's a brand new MacBook Air. The clean restore went very well. I erased everything, then on reboot the screen was blank - nothing. I held down command-r on the next reboot, and Lion was downloaded automatically and it re-installed without a hitch.

I think the theory behind abandonware is that it has long since been abandoned by the developers and creators and so it becomes available to download, but ultimately I do not know much about that aside from it makes downloading old Mac games and old DOS PC games very easy. 2ff7e9595c
