Buy ilife11 or buy Garageband, iphoto, imovie separately?
Hi there,
I'm running snowleopard, and old versions of: garage band (version 3). Imovie 6.3, iphoto 6.0.6. I thinking I should update those to the latest versions. So i could buy ilife11 (£46, with installation DVD from app UK), or I could buy gargage band, imovie, iphoto separtly for £10 i.e total £30). Why would I pay extra for ilife11, are there some extra bits other than Garageband, Imoivie or Iphoto that come with it?
I'm happier downloadeing from the app store than waiting for disks in the post,
Any advice please?
Does anything additional come with iLife, and if so is it worth the extra £16?
I tried it from browser then I was forwarded to App Store, then I tried it directly from Dock with App Store icon.
No, I haven't iPhoto nor iMovie at the Purchase list.
Yes, my Apple ID is active I'm buying apps all the time but with this three I have problem.
I wrotte to Apple support so I will see.
Thanks again for your time and help, but I think we are to short for this :-(

is the garageband, iPhoto,iMovie update free, as I have purchase mac book pro last december, I am unable to update it from app store. When I try to do so it says "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it"
I have apple ID but after signing into that account too, it does't allow to update. None of the updates for these application are show in software update of late, but it flashes in the dock where app store is . Kindly suggest.Should be the account you registered your mac with, and/or the account you used during the setup assistant.

Where is Garageband, iPhoto, iMovie with my new MacMini?
Unless I'm missing it....where are these Apps that suppose to come with my new MacMini? (Garageband, iPhoto, iMovie, etc.)
Please somebody help me out!Did they send installation disks? If so, you should be able to install those apps; I believe there will be an "applications" or "optional installs" installer on the disks, so look for that; which you'll have will depend on which edition of the mini you purchased.
If you didn't get installation disks and it's not a very new system and so came with OS X 10.7 Lion (those systems don't include disks), then call Smalldog and ask about the disks.

I am unable to update iphoto, imovie, and Garageband on my Macbook Pro. I understand that these apps are part of ilife suite. Purchased Macbook at Best Buy January 2012. All software is updated. I recieve message asking me to sign into account that I purchased these apps from. I am signed in , however I did not purchase these apps they came on Macbook. I also tried deleting Garageband and re-installing it. Now Garageband says accept but Macbook will not accept. Anyone else have this problem and were you able to resolve it.
The fact that they were preinstalled is why they are supposed to appear in the Purchased pane, in a temporary area labeled Purchases, for you to accept. Not doing so soon after you got the Mac has messed this process up.
To get things back on track properly try these steps;
Updating Pre-installed iLife apps -
1 - Log out and quit iTunes and the Mac App Store (MAS)
2 - Go to System Prefs/Users & Groups/~user/Password and enter the Apple ID connected to your iTunes/Mac App Store account. Close Sys Prefs
3 - Delete /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
4 - Reboot your Mac
5 - Open Mac App Store
6 - Go to the Purchased pane and Accept the three iLife apps. Enter iTunes/MAS username/password if prompted. -
Hi, when i bought my MB Air there were some updates available on the app store on iPhoto, garageband and iMovie and i wonder if these updates cost anything?
Application Updates from the update icon currently cost nothing. Anything on the App Store that costs money will have a button to buy in Blue with the price in the button.

hi
How can I turn my french apple account into an Australian one , to be able to buy a Iphoto book I 've created ?And you need to set the "Print Products Store" in the iPhoto Preferences "Advanced" to the country you are in. The credit card you will be using with your AppleID needs to be valid in the country your AppleID is registered to. Will you be staying permanently in Australia? Maybe it wuld be simpler to create a second AppleID just for the time of your stay there.

I can't update iPhoto, GarageBand nor iMovie, and I can't open iPhoto at all.
I can't update iPhoto, GarageBand nor iMovie, and iPhoto is the only one I can't open at all. I bought my Macbook half a year ago and when I try to update the Apps it says it's being modified and then that there was an error with Apple Store ):
There is an issue with update servers today, so you'll have to wait anyway.

Before upgrading my system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion I had taken a backup of iPhoto library in my external drive. But now when I try to open that package, I'm directed to app store to buy new iPhoto. Why would apple install iPhoto by default with Snow Leapord and make us import all our photos in it at the first place, and now ask for money if we want to retrieve our photos back on mountain lion? What if they make contacts a paid app with the next OS upgrade, and then bully us to pay money if we want our contacts? This is something very dissappointing on Apple's part. I need answers here.
I fail to remember if the installer gave me an option to keep my applications.
The Mountain Lion installer will not delete applications. It will only mark applications, that are not compatible with your current system with a "forbidden" sign in the icon. And you cannot launch them.
Does your iPhoto icon in the Applications folder look like this?
Then your iPhoto version is incompatible and cannot run with Mt. Lion. If it is iPhoto '11, with a versionnumber starting with 9.x.x., you can upgrade it by downloading a newer version from the Apple downloads site http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650.
But if you have 8.x.x, you need to buy an upgrade.

1. to switch to OS Xlion need to back up my word documents, excel, music, photos, etc?????

will upgrade to iphoto 9.2 on MacBook allow photo stream on iPad? I just got an ipad and I want to share photos between my macbook (mid-2007, OS 10.7.5) and the ipad. Will I have to buy iPad iPhoto app, too inorder to share pix?
No. For Photo Stream you'll need iPhoto 9.4 or later. This Apple document gives the minimum system requirements for iCloud and Photo Stream: iCloud: System requirements

Was a pleasant surprise to have iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand updated free
Not a question, more thinking out loud...I got a Macbook Pro at Christmas and when I read that the Mac App Store would be open on 7 January, I thought that my iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand would already be out of date. I was pleasantly surprised that the software update seemed to update these 3 automatically, so I'm now running the '11 versions. I thought I would have to pay for an upgrade if I wanted the newest versions!
Possibly...but I noticed that when the software update was occurring, it was updating one of either iMovie or iPhoto, so I assume all 3 were updated. Anyway it was nice - I'm used to having to pay for every program upgrade!

How to reinstall Garageband, iPhoto and iMovie
Three weeks ago, while I was surfing the net, the Macbook I was using suddenly displayed a message asking me to turn off and restart. I turned it off but it could not get restarted beyond the "sign on" screen. I tried to reinstall the OSx by using the CD that came along with the Macbook, but it could not work either. So I brought the Macbook to an authorised Apple Store, the technician on duty tried to do the installation as well but to no avail. I was told to leave the set there and to collect it 4 days later. True enough, I got my set back after the third day, I was told that since I upgraded the OSx from Snow Leopard to Lion, I could no longer use the CDs for reinstallation. The store also warned me that for this round, the reinstallation was free but for similar future installation, I would have to pay for service charge (by the way, my set is still under warranty).
The store also told me that I could reinstall Lion on-line but then I found these applications iPhoto, iMovie and GrarageBand missing after the reinstallation. Again the technician on duty reinstalled Lion several times but could not get these applications back. With no other help available, I took the set home and tried reinstallation several more times and tried downloading these applications without success. Finally, I went on-line to Apple Store to do a download, for iPhoto and iMovie I was billed but for GarageBand it was also downloaded but could not work, each time I click the icon, an error message "the instrument library is invalid" appear. Can anyone please help.B Teo wrote:

That is completely incorrect.

All you need to do to get these applications back is to insert disc 2 that originally came with your mac. I know this for sure because I just did a fresh install of Lion and the applications were missing as well, so I inserted disc 2 that came with my mac and reinstalled them (my mac originally came with Snow Leopard). It has those applications on it as well as the Apple Hardware Test. The people who you talked to have no idea what they are talking about.
