    Can someone download the free GarageBand and tell us what instruments this version has? If I update and notice my instruments are gone I’ll be very pissed.

  2. Michael Zaplatosch - 10 years ago

    I purchased the Retail copy back when they had the disk, do I need to Buy from the mac Store again to get the updates?

    • Scott Buscemi - 10 years ago

      Yes

    • Andrew P. Isch (@apisch) - 10 years ago

      A guy on macrumors called apple and supposedly we will get the update, too. he said they are aware of the bug prohibiting our upgrades. Hope it’s true!

    • Apparently not, they’re working on it, there seems to be a bug causing the App Store to not identify versions (or mine), yet, cause it was bought physically. Source: Macrumors.

      No, I seem to have gotten ALL the updates even without purchasing a new mac. I also have the BOXED version of iWork. You need to open the app store and click on STORE > Sign In and once you have signed in the updates for iWork, iPhoto etc should appear on your updates. The reason you don’t see the updates for free on your updates tab is because you haven’t logged into your iTunes account on Mavericks yet!

    they forgot to mention, combing down iWork for mac to match iOS

    It’s about time we got iOS 7-inspired updated. Here’s some detailed comparisons between the old and new interface designs for Pages, GarageBand and iPhoto: http://iosguides.net/garageband-iphoto-pages-ios-7-comparisons/
