Accept button instead of Install button when trying to reinstall iPhoto after Clean install

Hi All,
I recentely did a clean install for my Lion OS.
Everything works fine, except iPhoto was missing.
I opened the App Store app on the mac, and was able to successfully update GarageBand and iMove.
However, it didn't give me the option to update iPhoto as it did when I opened the mac out of the box.
I then went to the iPhoto page, and instead of "install" button I now have an "Accept" button.
When pressing on the accept button, I get the following error message:
"These apps have already been accepted.
"These apps were already assigned to your Apple ID and are available in your Purchases list."
iPhoto is neither present on the Purchases list nor in the update tab.
Will apprecaite suggestions.
Thank you

Hi Caroloine,
Thank you for your response.
I already have the 10.7.2 update. Doesn't help.
Also, the link you specifited is about downloading past purchases from iTunes Store, or the iPhone/iPad App store. I am trying to downloading iPhoto for the Mac from the Mac App Store (the App Store that is installed on the dock). I don't think it is the same stores.
After your suggestion though, just to be sure, I tried to seach iPhoto (for Lion) on the iTunes Store, but I don't think you can buy it there. It just give you iPhono/iPad results when searching for iPhoto, and I couldn't find iPhoto in any preveriously purchased list on itunes.
Any other suggestions?

  • Strange behavior when trying to change backgrounds after Aperture install

    Running 10.5.1 on my MacBook Pro without a hitch until today. Installed Aperture 1.5 and updated it to 1.5.6 last night and it too works fine.
    However, today when I went to change my background image in System Preferences I encountered some strange voodoo. I originally under the Desktop applet in System Preferences I had the default images and folders supplied with the operating system, and one images folder I maintain under my Documents folder for my personal backgrounds.
    Now I am no longer able to view my personal backgrounds folder in the System Preferences Desktop applet to select one of my images as a background. Instead I have, literally, two occurrences of the Aperture Projects folder listed under the default operating system background image options.
    Initially I found I cannot discard either instance of the Aperture folder, nor can I re-add my personal images folder (states the folder is already in the list as an option). Naturally I figured something might be amiss with permissions. So I rebooted and ran the Disk Utility which checked my drive to find no pertinent errors. No change in symptom.
    Next I renamed my personal images folder. This produced a change in symptom.
    Now I only observed one occurrence of the Aperture Projects Folder in the System Preferences applet. However, when I went to add my newly renamed personal images folder the second occurrence of the Aperture Projects folder appeared and would not let me access anything therein.
    Could certainly be a problem specific to 10.5.1, but thought it worth posting here in case anybody else wants to try to troubleshoot or has the same voodoo. Plus, the problem did not occur in 10.4.X running Aperture - so I think it is pretty specific to 10.5.1.
    Not a show stopper, but certainly weird. Hopefully not indicative of any additional problems lurking under the covers.
    TIA for any input or responses.

  • Reinstalling PSE12 after clean install of windows 8.1

    I already purchased PSE12 from this site and installed it on this PC, but I just found out that I need to reinstall windows 8.1 (to switch from 32 bit to 64 bit).  Will I be able to use the same license on the computer after I reinstall, or will I need to buy a new copy of PSE?

    Use Help> Sign Out before reinstalling Windows. This will deactivate the software. Be sure you're connected to the Internet when you do this.
    Cheers,

    It does... Apple TV has a problem with the assignment to the itunes account after updating. Restore to factory settings or unlog and news login to the itunes store helps to see the rented/downloaded film(s).

  • Put radio button instead of standard button in user desicion workitem

    Dear Exepert,
    I want to customise my userdesicion workitem,. I want to put radio buttons instead of default button . Please let me know what configuration i need for that.,
    Regards,
    Gurprit Bhatia

    Hello,
    If you are using UWL, it is easy to achieve this through the customization of the xml file.
    Declare the type in the display attribute of a view as type radiobutton, this requires the actionRef.
    The actionRef then specifies the action that the display attribute is linked to. Selection mode SINGLESELECT gives you a radio button so user can move the focus to one work item at a time - this is defined in the view section of the xml file. 
    Here you can see some sample code on how to achieve this through the Universal Worklist:

  • After installing mavericks apple id is greyed out in app store when trying to update iPhoto

    after installing mavericks apple id is greyed out in app store when trying to update iPhoto. How to update iphoto?

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • TS3694 I am unable to restore my iPhone4, I have iOS6 and latest iTunes installed  and when trying to sync or back up it comes up with Error −54. How or what do I do to fix this?

    I am unable to restore my iPhone4, I have iOS6 and latest iTunes installed  and when trying to sync or back up it comes up with Error −54. How or what do I do to fix this?

    == Error -54 ==
    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.
    iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814
    Unknown error (-54) while syncing ipod - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1082953 - problem was locked files
    Why does iTunes keep showing a -54 error when I sync my iPad? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114
    Error -54 possibly related to Touch Copy - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114 - cleared by deleting preferences on iPad.

  • When trying to open iphoto I get the error message "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." How do I fix this and get my photo's back?

    When trying to open iphoto I get the error message "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." How do I fix this and get my photo's back?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

    It's not that you can't format it because you have no backup, it's because you'll lose everything when you do. Lesson learned. Always have a backup.

    For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
    Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
    I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
    Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
    The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
    So you see what's going on here.
    I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
    They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
    With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
    For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine.

  • I get error 20 when trying to reinstall CS 5.5 on new PC. I thought I deactivated on old PC first before uninstalling; maybe I didn't? Old PC no longer available. What do I do now?

    Install errors have nothing to do with activations. Otherwise nobody can tell you much without proper system info and other details.

  • Can't see Macintosh HD when trying to reinstall

    In short: Trying to reinstall Yosemite after erasing disk, can't see Macintosh HD when asked to select install disk, can I lay see recovery (which is locked). Can see disk under disk utility but no Erase tab visible, only First Aid and Partition tabs. In long: I've just today got my MBA 15", and I spent the day setting up things, including activating FileVault. I encountered the dreaded "connect power adaptor to resume encryption" bug (despite the progress bar having completed and then power adaptor indeed being connected. I thought, since I'd not installed much or put any data on, that the easiest solution was to erase the drive and reinstall OSX from recovery. I booted into recovery -> disk utility,  chose the Macintosh HD,  and went onto the erase tab. After trying to erase, I was met with an error message. I can't remember the details but I think it mentioned not being able to encrypt. I then went to the Reinstall OSX section, but where there was previously the option to select my Macintosh HD, there was now only my external HD. Going back to the disk utility, I can still see the Macintosh HD but there are now only First Aid and Partition tabs, and everything in the partition tab is greyed out. Rebooting the machine only changed one thing: under Reinstall OSX, when selecting a drive, the recovered rive is now visible (though locked). I'm worried I've bricked my 12 hour old baby, can you help me out? Thanks, Joe

    Let me see if I have this straight:
    Brand new 15" MacBook Air.
    You activated FileVault, and the encryption process "froze" when you encountered a bug.
    You decided to erase the drive, and re-install Yosemite, but the installer is not giving you Macintosh HD as an available option.
    I've never encountered this bug that you speak of, and I've activated FileVault on several Macs over the years, so I can't speak to it directly.
    My suggestion is to ensure you have a reliable power connection (ie. check that the power connector is on straight and there's no metal pieces stuck inside to the magnets), re-erase the drive, and then try install Yosemite again.

  • After a virus when trying to reinstall Photoshop 6.0, I was told the serial no. on the disk was not

    After a virus when trying to reinstall Photoshop 6.0, I was told the serial no. on the disk was not valid. what do I do?

    Normally the serial number is not on the disk but is instead on the disk case. 
    Can you clarify if this is Photoshop 6.0 or is it Photoshop CS6?  Photoshop 6 might be too old to have activation support.
