Accidently Deleted Iphoto and Imovie

I accidently deleted Imovie and Iphoto. I tried to redown load it with the disk's that come with the computer and with the Snow Leopard disk but no where does it give me the option of those two..... am I doing something wrong? HELP!!!
Thanks!!!

am I doing something wrong?
Yes. It should have taken you about two minutes to restore those files from one of your backups. If you don't have backups, shut down the computer now and don't start it again until you have an external hard drive and are ready to start backing up. If you need help setting that up, please start a new topic. If you don't back up, you'll inevitably lose all your data, and nobody will be able to help you.

I deleted iPhoto and iMovie which came with my system , how do i reinstall it without paying for the app

Hi,
I have a mac book pro retina, i had iPhoto and iMovie app with the OS while purchase. the iPhoto and iMovie updates were using my old apple-id and i wasnt able to update my app due to that, so i deleted those apps and wanted to reinstall that. so my new apple-id would be picked up.
but i didnt realize these were paid apps. ouch. so is there a way i can restore these apps ?
thanks
shankar

Have you tried signing in with your old Apple ID? All software obtained at the app store is tied to the Apple ID used to obtain it forever. If you start with a new Apple ID, then you will need to purchase it again.
FWIW, please do not post duplicate posts - it gets too confusing.

Accidentally deleted Iphoto and Imovie

I know it sounds hard to do, but I did it nonetheless and deleted both Iphoto and I movie from my macbook. I had to do an archive and install and copied a newer version of both from the external hard drive that i took out and replaced since it was damaged but readable.
I imported the libraries and since it was a newer version (updated) than the o/s architecture from the re-install I thought I could delete and reinstall just those apps.
However I am having a hard time finding a way to bring in the earlier versions of iphoto. I just find updates or versions that won't take to leopard.
Is there a way I can find and download these apps that will work with Leopard, without re-formatting and doing a clean re-install of the whole o/s?
Any info would surely be appreciated.
Thanks
Brian

If the apps came with the computer look for this disk:

Reinstall iPhoto and iMovie on iPhone 6 and Mac

I was fooling around with some apps and deleted iPhoto and iMovie on my phone, not knowing they would be uninstalled on my Mac. When I realized this I tried to reinstall them from the app store, both on the phone and Mac and am unable to. I get the following message in the pic I attached. Seems quite odd any other app can be reinstalled but these can't.
There's a ton of info online but most seems many years old. Plus there was a new update today. Any ideas?

Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept them into your Apple ID, do so.
2. Try downloading them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
4. Buy them.

There is a problem in updating iphoto and iMovie, read a response here from a certain Dahveed if I'm not wrong to try this, however I'm a first time mac user, how do you delete this ... /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist

There is a problem in updating iphoto and iMovie, read a response here from a certain Dahveed if I'm not wrong to try this, however I'm a first time mac user, how do you delete this ... /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist

It says 'To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.'
However I only have one account. I've tried to sign out and in several times. But it doesn't work. I do remember changing my password recently. Secondly I'd like to add that I got this macbook air 3 days ago. I'm a first time mac user. It had three updates initially. Mountain lion 10.8.2, iphoto and the imovie. I updated the mountain lion, thinking I'd get the iphoto and imovie done later. However now this problem has come up. Thanks for responding. Hoping to hear from you soon again regarding this.

Unable to update iPhoto and iMovie. "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID"

I updated to Yosemite and all went well but for the message "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID" for the two apps iPhoto and iMovie. I have tried using the terminal window and used code that others have suggested and obtained a SmartSearch. I deleted everything in that folder and I still can't update these two apps. The other apps updated without problems. Thanks for any help.

For a couple of years now, the verson of the iLife apps that come preinstalled on new Macs are the Mac App Store (MAS) versions. MAS apps have the Apple ID that bought them encoded in the app as an anti-piracy scheme. Since these apps are preinstalled, before using any of the three apps, the new Mac owner must open the MAS, go to the Purchases pane and accept these apps into their MAS account. This allows the MAS to encode the owners Apple ID into the apps.
Failure to accept these apps into your account and have them encoded with your Apple ID before using one of them renders the apps "as is" and they cannot be updated or downloaded to another Mac. The only way that I know of to rectify the problem is to use OS X Recovery to erase the Mac and reinstall OS X and the iLife apps, so that the initial setup can be attempted again and the apps be accepted into the MAS account and encoded with the Apple ID.

Unable to update iPhoto and iMovie?

When i try to update iPhoto and iMovie, this first message appears: "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID - This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again" so i press ok and a second message appears: "We could not complete your request - There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)"
Can someone explain me what this error means? and what can i do to fix it?
Thank you

It means what it says: The apps were bought or installed by someone with a different ID to yours. So, in effect, these are belong to that person and you can't update them.
This can arise if you've bought a second hand machine, or if you've bought an open box machine, or even if the Mac was set up for you by the shop where you bought it. Or, if you used one Apple ID to set up the machine and are using a different one now. Of course, it can also be caused by installing pirated software.
So, what to do:
Where did you get the machine? If it was second hand, or open box then you need to get back to the vendor.
If you used a different Apple ID then sign in with that one.
And, if the software is pirated then delete it and purchase legally.
Other than that:
Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

IPhoto and iMovie won't update. Repeated Thunderbolt update req.

Hi,
Since downloading Mavericks last night:
1.) Both iPhoto and iMovie updates fail to download- they get to almost halfway and then an error pops up that it can't be completed.
2.) Additionally, I am getting a repeated Thunderbolt firmware update 1.2 no matter how many times i update and restart.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I was trying to update iphoto 9.4.3, through the app store. then this message comes up
you have updates available for other accounts
to update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.
i'm the only one on my mac. i only have 1 itunes account so it has nothing to do with any UserID issue. i tried reindexing spotlight. This has been an issue for about a month now. Then i deleted iPhoto app and securely emptied the trash. All my software was in my macbook pro when it was shipped to me Feb. 2011. These are the two software, in question. iMovie is giving me the same message now.
apple software - iWork 065-7672 no iWork preinstalled
apple software - final cut exp 065-7674 no final cut express (from my Apple receipt)
I hope I gave you all the answers you need to help me, Thank you, TD

I accidently deleted iphoto; how do I get it back for free?

I accidently deleted iphoto; how do I get it back for free?

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 or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Different apple id shows for updates on mac for iPhoto and iMovie

Hi, on my Mac there are two updates available for iPhoto and iMovie however the update requires me to use my old apple ID which I no longer use. I have checked iTunes, iCloud and the App store and my current apple ID is used for all of them. I don't understand why my old apple ID keeps showing up, I can't sign out of it because it doesn't give me that option.
I'm really confused, please help me out!!!

Those applications have the old Apple ID stored inside them. It can't be changed without deleting them and then redownloading them from the desired Apple ID; in the case of preloaded applications, you may also need to contact Apple. This can be done by going to the Mac App Store main page and clicking on Support under Quick Links.

Iphoto and Imovie

Couple of questions:
- Are movies and video stored in both Iphoto and Imovie - how do I delete them from Iphoto? Are they currently stored twice on the hard drive or just once?
- Can I select photos only to copy when putting images onto a usb stick?

Hi ajz85:
If you are going to use video clips you will need to use imovie.
Oh-and welcome to the discussions!

Moving iphoto and imovie libraries to free up space

Hi All,
I'm trying to free up hard drive space on my '09 MacBook Pro by moving my iphoto and imovie libraries - approx 110GB - to an external hard drive. I've done this successfully and emptied the trash but this has only freed up approx 25GB of space.
Is there something else I should be doing to free up the the whole 110GB? Any help is appreciated!
PS. Using version 10.9.3

When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.

Please help-iphoto and imovie

Hi-
I would greatly appreciate any help. I just bought my imac for iphoto and imovie. It is a bit more difficult that expected.
I made two slideshows in iphoto. I saved them as .mov files by exporting them from iphoto. When I open imovie it will not allow me to import the movies?? I am so confused. Any help would be amazing.
Thanks,

I made two slideshows in iphoto. I saved them as .mov files by exporting them from iphoto. When I open imovie it will not allow me to import the movies??
A slideshow created in iPhoto employs a "Tween" track to render transitions. Unfortunately, this track is not discarded when the slideshow is is finished and save. iMovie '08 appears to no know what to do with this track and so it ignores the video when you attempt to import it. If you have QT Pro, simply delete the extraneous track. If you don't have QT Pro, use MPEG Streamclip (free) to save the audio and video content to an MP4 file container. This process appears the strip the extraneous track during the "Save As..." File menu process.

I'm having trouble updating iPhoto and iMovie.

This has been an ongoing issue that I just get aggravated and stop trying for awhile. Updated to OS X Mavericks and now I can't even access iPhoto. It says this version can't be used with OS X. Everytime I try to update iPhoto and iMovie, I get a message saying it was purchased using another ID. I bought the computer brand new and set it up with the one and only ID I have. iPhoto and iMovie were preinstalled. Anyone have any suggestions? I do NOT want to delete them, pay to download them and then request a refund because I don't want to lose all of my photos. I didn't worry about it much until my husband did the OS X Mavericks update and now iPhoto isn't compatible to even open anymore. Please help!

Congratulations!
Everything is great---except when alerted to updates for iMovie and/or iPhoto I'm instructed: "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it".
NO need to re-purchase. Launch the App Store from the Applications folder or dock icon. Follow as the alert instructed, i.e., sign in with your Apple ID and password. Click on the Updates icon (near the top of the App Store window). The Updates window will list iPhoto and iMovie. Click the UPDATE button for each.
Note: This is based on my experience with having iLife 11 on disk prior to getting a new MBP last July.)
Hope this helps.

After upgrading to Mavericks I cannot update iPhoto and iMovie. Why?

Just got my first Mac, an iMac. I upgraded to Maverick and once done I find there are updates available for iPhoto and iMovie. First I have tried to register "accept" the two apps. Nothing happens. Then I try to update them and get the answer that these apps was installed with another Apple ID. The thing is that I don't have any other Apple ID and noone else has touched my iMac. I have tried to reinstall Maverick three times now but end up with the same result. Anyone who has any clue or have experienced the same problem?

Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Password tab.
Make sure you see the correct Apple ID.
If not, click Change.
Make sure you are logged into your admin account before updating apps.
Reinstalling Mavericks requires using OS X Recovery but there's no reason to reinstall Mavericks just to update your apps.
