How To Get iWork and iLife for Free On Older Macs
Yesterday Apple announced that their iWork suite of apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers) and iLife suite of apps (iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband) would come free with their new macs when you buy. All mac users aware of iWork suite and iLife suite of apps from apple, previously, these apps are $20 each, Now these suits are free for all new Mac owners. Think about the current Mac users? Are you one of them?
Today i am going to explain how to get iWork and iLife suite for Free in your Current Macs. Its a simple loophole which i have discovered unfortunately and i made a research on this loophole and most of the peoples are already using this, so i just thought to share with all my readers. But this guide will help you to install iWork and iLife suite of apps without spending any money on it.
Before we begin, make sure that the App installation permissions are set to “Anywhere”. If you don’t know how to do that, Just go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General and you can see “Allow apps downloaded from” section and set permission to “Anywhere“.
- First download the free trial of iWork ’09 and iLife ’11 from Softpedia. Here is the links to download links of iWork Suite and ilife Suite. Click Download and Select External Mirror 1.
- Install the iWokr ’09 and iLife ’11 Trial on your Mac.
Step 3:
- Wait for few minutes to allow Mac to recognize the newly installed iWork and iLife.
Step 4:
- Now Open the App Store and Click Updates section, Now you will see the updates for iWork apps and iLife Apps. Click update all to update all your iWork and iLife latest version on your Mac for Free! If you don’t see updates for the app, just wait for few more minutes and try opening App store again and check.
This is the clever way to get the New iWork Suite apps and iLife Suite apps for free. We don’t know when will apple will fix this loophole. Before that claim your iWork and iLife for Free.

Hi, really useful trick! Just one question, after following these steps, the apps become related to the Apple ID, or they are just updated?
Yes it comes under your Purchases tab 🙂
we share this Apple fans now.
I only see a link to buy iLife 11, where is the download ink? I work happened no problem.
where can I download the iLife pack ? the page you’d given is currently unavailable
Now iWork and iLife are free in the app store.
It’s not free for me. I had iMovie on Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion. When I replaced my hard drive and updated iOS to Mavericks and, it was gone. I’m not trying to pay for something I had for free in the first place.
You can see your Purchase section.. It will be listed. If it is not listed, make sure you are using the same apple id

Where can I get a copy of the latest iPhoto that works with OS X 10.8.5? I replaced hard drive, and haven’t found my original install disks yet. (Macbook Late 2008 Aluminum)
For Mountain Lion you can get from App Store.
I have OS X version 10.7.5 and I replaced my hard drive and no longer have Garage Band. I would normally pay the $4.99 for it but I am not in the U.S. right now and don’t have access to a credit card. I have been reading threads on how to get it back but I’m not entirely sure how or even if its possible since I don’t have or want Maverick right now.
Thanks for the link. It is still working.
Hi vincent,

Hi, how do i get ilife 11 when i have iphoto 8.1.2? i believe i need iphoto 9.0 but im having trouble updating to it…if i buy ilife 11 disk pack on ebay will this fix the problem or do i still need iphoto 9.o?
does it after update a full version or will it be a trail version again?
I guess it no longer works, as they appear in the “incompatible” section of the updates.
I will stick with LibreOffice. The newest version still works on my High Sierra.
