Unable to install updates that came with the macbook

When I am trying to update like iPHoto and Imovie I am getting an error asking me to sign in with the account id that I used at the time of purchase. I have these installed with my Macbook pro and is trying to update after login with my apple id. Can you help me on how to get these updates.

Hi Soumyajyoti,
Have you changed your AppleID at any point? Do you have any other AppleID that you know of?

  • HT3777 if i restore my macbook back to its factory settings with the grey install disk that came with my macbook, will this wipe out the bootcamp partition? (i don't want it to)

    i have asked this question a few times now, but i have not got the answer i was looking for:
    my macbook is currently on v10.6.8 (a snow leopard version)
    the factory settings of my macbook is v10.5.6 (a leopard version; i know that using the grey install disk that came with my macbook will restore my macbook back to this version)
    i know that by restoring my macbook to the factory settings, some apps will go (e.g. flash player 12, app store) and other apps will be downgraded (like itunes)
    but i am talking about BOOTCAMP. it isn't an app, it's a partition of my hard drive.
    my question is, will i still have the BOOTCAMP partition after i restore my macbook back to its factory settings? if so, will all the folders and files in BOOTCAMP still be there?

  • Install software that came with the BT MM?

    Hi,
    Just got my Bluetooth Mighty Mouuse. Should I install the software that came with it?
    Is there any benefit or added functionality in doing so?
    I have a new 20-in Intel Core 2 Duo iMac.
    Thanks...

    You'll need the software installed to configure fully the MM's buttons via the Keyboard & Mouse preferences pane (and also view the battery status). On our Mac Pro it was preinstalled, but on our Mini it wasn't. I'm not sure what the default is on the new iMacs.

  • I have a late-2008 macbook that is running 10.5.8. I also have a newer macbook that came with snow leopard. Can I use the install disk that came with the newer macbook to update my older macbook?

    Also, when upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard, will I lose all the data that is currently on my hard drive?

    No, that SL disk is meant for the computer it came with only.
    Upgrading to SL generally will not cause data loss, but you should have a backup of your important files in any case.
    You can get a Snow Leopard disk by calling Apple - in the USA it's 800-MY-APPLE.
    Best of luck.

  • Macbook 2008. Did an erase and install from install disk that came with the mac but now it won't move pas the Apple logo with spinner.

    My Macbook was running slow and kept giving me error codes so I figured the easiest thing to do would be to erase it and do a fresh install. But now, after installing with the disk 1, it won't move past the grey Apple logo screen.
    I've done disk repair and verified and there seems to be no problems.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks

  • Reason for the 2 Power Adapters that came with the Macbook?

    New macbook owner here. whats the deal with the power adapter? one connection to the wall can simply be latched onto the white square, im sure you know what im talking about. like an ipod wall charger.
    the second is the most traditional one when it has a long cable connecting to the wall and then to the white apple square thing.
    whats the point of each one? is the longer one for better home and the small connecting one most portable? if this is the case which charges better? no difference? whats the deal? im so confused!

    One is used as an extension for the other. I think it shows that in the manual

  • Using the packaging supplies that came with the Macbook...

    Do you remember the thin piece of foam that laid between your Macbook's keyboard and display when you first opened it up? I occasionally see people with laptops who leave those pieces of foam/cloth in their laptops when they're closed. Is this a good idea to keep the keys/dirt from rubbing against the screen?

    I use a Radtech screen saver. You can find them at

    You can use it to wipe off the screen and the keyboard.

  • The CDs that came with the MacBook...

    Hi,
    After fiddling around with my MacBook, I was wondering...what programs are on those two installation CDs? It just seems as if my MacBook is fine as is, not needing any further applications. Thank you.

    You'll need them should you ever have to do any repairs to the hard drive's catalog or reinstall the operating system or any of the bundled applications.

  • I have a mac pro 2007 model. It appears I have a corrupted sector on my the hadrive tha has my operating system. If I use the install disk that came with is (Tiger) can I still get my lion back.

    I have mac pro 2007 model given to me, I updated it to lion about six months ago, and I do not have a time machine.
    Lion stopped loading before I get to the login screen,
    I tried all the tips, doing a option/shift/v. I noticed several fsk_dsk errors that it could not fix on my boot drive.
    Restore would not work either. The only physical copy I have is the install disk that came with the mac. I think it is Tiger.
    If I put this operating system on will I be abel to upgrade it to lion, and if so will I have to pay again?

    The Lion Recovery Partition has its own index. Your Macintosh HD partition is the one with the troubles.
    If Disk Utility cannot fix it, you may need to apply different Utilities, such as Disk Warrior.
    Some readers suggest that the best disk repair is to erase the drive and restore it from your Backups.
    This might be a good time to consider getting a new drive to have on hand. This would allow you flexibility in copying, fixing, and (if needed) replacing the drive with the problems.

  • How do I revert to Snow Leopard from Mountain Lion? I do not have the setup disk that came with my MacBook but I do have the Snow Leopard software.

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion and very much regret this move.  I cannot use Parallels or Bootcamp for Windows XP which I need for some of my 'older' accessories.  How do I revert from Mountain Lion back to Snow Leopard?  I have the Snow Leopard software but I do not have the original setup software disk that came with the MacBook (leant to a friend and never seen again).

    If you do revert to Snow Leopard, be aware of this "feature" I used with my 2009 MacBook Pro:
    When it had the original OS (Leopard, I believe) I set up Bootcamp with Windows XP.  I also installed Parallels and use the Bootcamp partition for Windows XP within Parallels.
    I then upgraded to Snow Leopard and all was fine.
    I then upgraded to Lion and still my Bootcamp partition works for Windows XP and also for Parallels.
    I have not upgraded to Mountain Lion so I cannot speak to whether or not the Bootcamp paritition of Windows XP will continue to work.  If you do and it works, LET US KNOW!

  • Unable to Install Universal Wireless Keyboard with the CD that came with the Palm Tungsten E2 on my Windows Vista OS. Can some help? Would Appreciate it very much.

    I recently bought a Palm Tungsten E2. I have been unable to install the Universal Wireless Keyboard software that came with the E2. Went online and downloaded the version 1.13 UWK and that would not install either. What did I do wrong?
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    For Vista that version will not let you install programs. Good news though is we have a version you can. Go here, http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html and install this on top of the version you already have. There is going to be a few changes on the desktop, there is no quick install, but the install tool.
    Once you have that done just double click on keyboard and it will ask you your hotsync name and sync and your done.
    Oh as a side note the check if this is your solution is only if the answer solves your original question.
    Message back if you have more question or need more help

  • HT1476 After update to either iOS 7.0.3 or 7.0.4, my iPhone 4S won't charge. I'm using charger and cable that came with the phone. Nothing else changed.

    I'm using charger and cable that came with the phone. Nothing else changed.
    I think it was the update the iOS 7.0.4 that I did last night. I woke up this morning with my battery almost drained and the charging function going off and on every few seconds, like it would start charging then disconnect, then reconnect repeatedly.
    I've tried restarting the phone and hard restarting the phone several times, but I'm getting really low on battery by now (under 20%).
    I've tried cleaning the connector with a little isopropyl alcohol, and blowing it out with compressed air. Though I can't be 100% certain, it's very unlikely my connector died exactly at the same time I was updating my phone. Especially since it appears I'm not the only one with this problem.
    And now, after the last hard reset, my phone doesn't even recognize the charger at all, or being connected with the USB cable to my MacBook Pro.
    I turned off my phone so when I go to the Apple Store it will power up one last time, but besides that I'm out of ideas.

    Just back from Genius Bar and two other people at my table had the same problem. Their 4Ss aren't charging either. One of them had a fried board according to the tech. At least my HW checked out OK. It just won't charge.
    The tech tried to tell me that it was because my connector was corroded, which I told him was kind of a weak argument since evidence points to that the update has something to do with it.
    They're seeing a lot of these and it looks like they already have a script.
    Luckily I had enough juice left to recycle it for like $180, so I picked up a 5S with a new 2 year.
    It looked to me like this is going to blow up pretty big. Like class action lawsuit big.
    If you have an iPhone 4 or 4S, and you haven't updated it to iOS 7, don't for now. See if a patch comes out that doesn't brick your phone. Or get an induction charger maybe? Don't just update and expect absolutely no problems because too many people are having problems right now.
