The fix from back on page 2 of this thread is quoted again below. I tested this and it worked perfectly for me last night...
The updates for iPhoto and iMovie showed up in the mac App Store, but I'm not getting any updates for Garageband appearing. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Yes, hasty indeed. I'm pretty sure I'll get the purchases credited and if not, so be it. I use both apps extensively every day and a $40 investment for doing my work is nothing in the scheme of things. Of course, I would prefer to get my money back, because an investment of $0 for being able to do my work is an even better deal...
I found a way to work around this problem
Hi,
I, too, had problems downloading the new versions of iLife and and iWork on my Macbook Air. I got that same error message that is popping up when I wanted to download the new version of iMovie that I had to purchase it. I decided to try the purchase apps tab in the Mac App store. From there, I was able to download the new version without anymore problems. I hope this helps someone.

Garageband is a free download with an In-App purchase for all the loops, extra drummers etc.
You don't need to update...
As someone who was unable to update yesterday (all of them just had prices despite having iLife '11 and iWork '09) when I logged into the MAS this morning they all said update and allowed me to download them for free.
Updates for Non-App-Store users now working
Subject says it all. I had the difficulties outlined in the story yesterday for both the iLife and iWork apps. This morning software update told me I had 6 updates to perform and all the apps updated without issue!
Way to go Apple!

I was affected by this yesterday - I've got iWork '09 installed from DVD - but I've just got home from work and Pages, Numbers, and Keynote updates show up in App Store
Garage Band hasn't shown up (yet) and is still at v6.0.5 on my MBP.

Same here. It took awhile to get all the updates for iWork and iLife. I now have all the new versions.
Works today
As of this morning (florida) I still have no "updates" but when clicking on one of the apps in the app store, it now shows UPDATE instead of PURCHASE. This just happened this morning with no intervention on my part, so it must be a rollout or a glitch. Either way, they all updated. One thing, I put my iWork apps in their own folder. If you do this, be aware that the "update" really doesn't update anything, you'll have 3 new apps along with the existing apps. Best to pull them out of their folder and put them directly in the apps area and then have them updated. I just moved them after downloading and "replaced" the old ones. All good now.

Hmm, it appears to be updating the ones in the iWork'09 folder here (although they are still downloading so maybe it's just showing the progress bar under the old icons in Finder?
EDIT Yes, it appears it was just using the existing icons to display the progress bar. The new Pages is now installed in /Applications and the old one is still in the iWork'09 folder

Call Apple's customer support and get a case number going. Then, when the problem with the Mac update site is finally resolved, call back and get a refund.
If they issue you a refund now, you probably won't be able to use the new software.
Hmm, it finished installing iWork. App Store then searched for more updates and found Keynote again (but not Pages and Numbers) even though it's showing under Installed In The Last 30 Days. Clicked Update All and it's downloading Keynote again...weird
I don't understand why ML users can't install updates? Compatibility..?
"Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the Mac App Store for qualifying Mac computers purchased on or after October 1, 2013. OS X Mavericks required. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID."

Version 10.0 is a free app so just download it from the App Store. If you want the complete set of content which runs to 9GB its a £2.99/$4.99 In-App Purchase.
Any special reason that you are not moving to Mavericks? I've been using it for a while and haven't encountered anything that ML does better. And, it's free!
I emailed the MAS about it this am. I've had this same thing happen before and they were great about doing the refund.
Compatibility issues. Just want to make sure any serious problems are ironed out first if any at all.
I understand it probably works fine, just want to be sure.
Getting NON-APP STORE iWork to update to 2013 on Mavericks. THIS WORKED FOR ME.
This might have just been timing, but I had played with this for a while.
I have iWork '09 (was that the last one?!?) and had gotten it as a download (NOT an app store download, maybe trial download then purchase, maybe trial than purchase CD?) and I was having problems getting it to update after updating to Mavericks.
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN COINCIDENTAL, but I'd tried a few different things (in their own folder, out of the folder and checked the plist) and rebooted a few times but no luck. I finally saw a recommendation to reinstall one of the old iWork '09 updaters. Here's the links at Apple.

So I updated, once I rebooted my one machine, it worked fine and updated to the new versions. I also ran it on the other machine and I'm pretty sure I did not reboot and when I next relaunched the app store, it worked on that one too. FYI, it's was 398 MB and was slow to run (even on my MB Air).
It might have been coincidence, and it just finally worked. But that's when it worked for me.
It LOOKS like it's in the system as a puchase, but the date column isn't labeled: is that purchase date (I didn't buy it yesterday) or is it an updated date (my iMovie was updated yesterday, but the date is still old) is the question? I didn't see it in there yesterday, but I heard they were having problems. So I'm not sure if Apple has flagged it as an app store app that I "own" or it's just updating the software on my machine; just in case, I'll be sticking the above update on my backup drive (with other purchases) so if a machine ever dies I can get it going again.
Maybe if i'd just been patient, it'd have worked. I don't know.

Is anybody else getting the Software License Agreement window every time they open one of the iWork apps?
