Apple allows iWork upgrade from a copy not purchased from the App Store

IWORK SUITE

As Apple reported in the last Keynote, after a long period of time, the office suite of iWork finally it was updated adding many improvements in its operation, as well as bug fixes and perfect inclusion of iCloud.

However, those in Cupertino reported that these applications were going to be free for all users who purchased a new Mac from Keynote day. All those people who had a non-legal copy of the suite or who had not obtained it from the Mac App Store (people who bought the CD / DVD) should go through the box again.

When these users were about to use any of the three applications after they were published free of charge for new buyers, they found themselves in the situation that the applications themselves informed them that there was a pending update of them and gave them the option of being able to press a button in which it informed that you “update”. However, after clicking on the aforementioned button, nothing happened and also if you entered the Mac App Store there was no pending update.

However, thousands of users have already reported to the network that there are situations in which the protection of the Mac App Store is "bypassed" and you can update without any problem. So far there are two possibilities.

XNUMXst week

It consists of entering the Mac App Store, logging out of your Apple ID and closing the Mac App Store. Next we go to "System Preferences" and click on "Language and Region". We will see that the system is in Spanish. We are going to add a new language (English) and tell the system to make it the default. Once this action has been carried out, it will ask us for a forced restart. Once we restart, we go back to the Mac App Store and we will see that when we press the updates button, the three applications appear. We download each one of them and the system will ask us for our Apple ID credentials in each case. When we finish, we delete the language we created, reboot again and that's it.

LANGUAGES IN MAC

 SECOND

Several users have also achieved the same by simply grabbing the three icons from the Applications folder and throwing them into the trash. Later they have entered the Mac App Store and the three new applications were available for download.

Feel free to perform one of the two options and download the three new applications before the system gaps are closed.

    MANY IMPROVEMENTS? THE NEW VERSIONS OF PAGES, NUMBERS AND KEYNOTE ARE PATHETIC, THEY HAVE REMOVED A LOT OF FUNCTIONS FROM THE PREVIOUS VERSION (IWORK 09) A COMPLETE DISAPPOINTMENT ...

      It's true, for example in Pages, now when I open the Inspector I can't find the option to put symmetric or mirrored pages. Before if this option existed.

    Thank you very much for the warning. I have installed numbers and keynote (pages already had it, and how much I regret having paid for it recently XD). It's a bitch that for new teams they give it away and for those of us who have spent time, they don't trust us.

    I have done it and it works correctly, however when I go to PURCHASED in the store I get both Numbers and Keynote in red with error, Pages comes out correctly. All three work perfectly although they are capped, very simple.
