Did you try to sign out of the current Apple ID, and sign in with the same Apple ID you used when purchasing the apps/updates the first time around on your old install?
In the App Store, you can go to the Store menu, click on Sign out. Then go back to the same menu and you will now have a Sign In menu option. Select it, and a dialog will come up allowing you to enter a different Apple ID. Hope that helps. -Rodney On Aug 13, 2012, at 1:43 PM, Gavin Grundlingh <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm having a bit of a problem with my iWork apps that I'm hoping I can solve > without having to spend extra cash.
