Can't update iPhoto/ iMovie in App Store. New Retina MBP.

I have just purchased a new Retina MBP. App store wont let me update iPhoto/ iMovie because I'm not logged in with account that purchased the apps. I tried the 2 apple id's I have and no luck. Any advice? Thanks.

if you opened the app store. and logged in with both accounts and it didn't allow you to download the app.  should say download.  if not you will have to pay.  no way to see unless you have an old email from when you did.

  • Can't update iphoto from the apps store

    I purchased iphoto from the apps store (version 9.1.1) to replace/upgrade the version that came with my 2008 imac, but have been unable to update to the current version 9.1.5. When I attempt to update (and the apps store tells me there is an update available for my purchase) a dialog box tells me to log into the account which i used to purchase the program notwithstanding that I am logged into the account.  Any suggestions as how to solve this problem?

    I imagine if you delete the iPhoto app, you should be able to download and install the current version from the app store without problem. The conflict is probably because the version you purchased is disc based.
    Prior to doing this, make sure you backup your hard drive so that you can restore in case you accidentally delete something that you need.

  • Can't update iPhoto in Mac App store or Software update... Help!

    I am stuck in iPhoto 9.1.5  Using Lion iPhoto purchased through mac app store.  Please help me

Maybe it's just a bug, Mac App Store seems a Beta to me for how laggy and buggy it is. Usually when it says something about another account it's 'cause you have pirated software and the App Store receipt inside it is indeed connected to another account, making it impossible to download the update. If that's your case what you have to do is to right click on iPhoto and select "show package content", open the "Content" folder and delete the "_MASReceipt" folder inside it, now the update will show up on Software Update.
    A user posted on another site a way to solve this.
    It worked for me, hope it helps.

  • I updated iPhoto but the app store still shows that red 1, how can I remove it?

    I updated iPhoto but the app store still shows that red 1, how can I remove it? I can't right click, i cant do anything to get rid of it.

    Nope that's not it, I always use that particular ID, but the @me.com portion of the Apple ID is missing when trying to download from the App Store on the Phone.
    It is grayed out inside the App Store app so I can't change it there and I already changed it in the settings.
    The entire Apple ID is fine in the Settings so I don't get why the App Store ID is different and missing information.

  • I bought over a Mac Book Pro from a friend. I can't update iPhoto and other apps as it seems like these are tagged to the previous owner's account. Pls advise.

    I bought over a Mac Book Pro from a friend. I can't update iPhoto and other apps as it seems like these are tagged to the previous owner's account. It basically requires me to sign in to my fren's account which is absurb! Because iphoto comes with mac isn't it?

    Contact your "friend." Have him set up the MBP for your with your own account, settings and passwords. You are not running IOS 5.1. That is for iPhone and iPad users. What OS are you running? Did he give you the OS installer disks?

  • Can't update iPhoto and other apps after upgrading to Yosmite.  Bought the computer at a Mac Store complete with iPhoto, iMovie, Numbers, Pages etc so the App store sayes we can't upgrade because these were not purchased through the App store.

    Until this gets resolved we can't access iPhoto or my iPhoto library.  Unfortunately didn't back up my photos before we "upgraded" to Yosmite.  Any ideas?

    You need to update the information regarding what Mac this is and what version of OS X you're running.
    You show a PB G4, which won't run the Mac App Store.

  • Can't update or install from App Store although I can purchase apps

    I can purchase apps in App Store but I can't update them or actually install them through the store, I just get a little spinning whirylgig next to the go back or forward page icons.
    I have run disk utility and I restarted.
    I am on OS X 10.7.5
    Any suggestions??

    Make sure when you update apps you are signed in using the same Apple ID used for the original downloads.
    Beyond that ...
    Disable anti virus softwrare if installed
    Check your firewall settings in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options
    Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
    Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

  • I bought a new iPad 3 in USA in July but now I cannot access my apps store. I can't update or view the apps store. Secondly it keeps on telling t

    I bought a new iPad in July in USA and it was set up by the Apple store in Houston, now I can't access my apps store neither can I view all my purchased apps.
    Secondly, every time it want to update my apps that I bought years ago, it tells me to go to Nigeria store. I don't know why I must change to a store to update my apps
    Thirdly, I think it's unfair to pay the same amount of Money for an IPad with those in USA and the you can't even download the good apps. It seems  the apps in the Nigeria store are those they don't want in the USA . Why can't we have the same quality apps considering we paid the same amount of money to buy this iPads. I think this is very unfair to us.

    The apps available to you are dependent on your location. If you are not in the USA, then you cannot get the USA app store. Whilst you may think that is unfair, it has been a part of the stardard terms and conditions you agreed to when you setup the iOS device in question originally, as well as every time you click agree to the terms and conditions.
    This is done because of two things, firstly there are many legal and semi-legal reasons that an iOS app store download is available in one territory and not another, in addition to this, it also allows apple to provide language specific content, as well as team up with companies and organisations within individual organisations in order to provide you with exclusive offers, content, and information, which it would not otherwise be able to do.
    Rules for the iOS app store are also applied in varing forms for the music store, the books store, and the iTunes U content library.
    I can very much understand your fustraition, as someone who spent a considerable portion of his life, especially during the years he grew up, living in California, USA, but now living in London, UK, I too find it very fustraiting that you cannot always get the same content from one country to another, especially when most marketing for iOS apps originates in the USA these days.
    I hope this helps your query and helps to ease your fustraition. If you would like apple to be aware of your fustraition, rather than putting it onto a pubilc form which is on monitored in a very limited capacity, then you can fill in the form at http://www.apple.com/feedback where you can give your complaint straight to apple.

I go to open the App Store and scroll over to updates and click on update all but I keep getting a message that says We could not complete your request: There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20). What is this???? Why can't I update my stuff? If anyone knows why this is happening please help It's sooo frustrating.

    What updates are you referring to?
    Have you tried restarting your Mac?

  • Can't find the iMovie in app store ?

    Hi
    I can't find the iMovie app in the app store on iPhone and also on the iTunes. Why is it not available ?

    Apparently it's only available in the US iTunes store. You need to set up a US account. I'm assuming you are not from the States?
    I seem to have downloaded and used it, and I'm in the UK?

  • I can't update my mac through App Store

    I have a 27"Mac OSX 10.8.2 and a few downloads are available but if I click the App Store I get the message: "We could not complete your App Store request. App store is temp. unavailable. Try again later" but there is no later. I've tried it now for weeks and still nothing is happening.
    I also wanted to buy the Mountain Lion but can't do that either.
    What to do?
    Regards

    Ok, i have downloaded the combo 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion), installed it but I still can't get into the App Store to update the latest versions of what ever there is available. It said, Download iTunes..... I tried and than I got the window like I wrote in my first question, telling all my details under the Apple logo,.... Also, nobody can give me an answer why I still have the Lion head instead of the Mountain Lion, if I already have Mountain Lion (Like IMP68 suggested). I don't know what else there is to answer. I wrote everything down. There is nothing more I can explain.
    I understand that the help is limited but some asked me question I already wrote down like What version I'm running.
    Anyway, I can understand that it can be frustrating to try to help somebody and it doesn't work. My bad. Thanks anyway.

  • Can't update iLife in the App Store

    I have purchased a MBA 13.3 inch with Lion. iLife was preinstalled, but not with the latest version, so I went the to the App Store. There I logged in with my Apple ID which is configured for iTunes / App Store and which I used to purchase my MBA. This account is also the Apple ID which is noted in Users & Groups as the Apple ID of me (the Admin)
    If i update, it says 'You have updates available for other accounts. To sign in to this account, please use the account you used to purchase it.'
    Because iLife was preinstalled, it's not between my list of purchased apps. Updating with an other Apple ID doesn't work too.
    Thank you in advance.

    The issue is that there was a process required for you to accept the preinstalled apps and opt them into your MAS account. You likely have not followed that process to accept them.
    There have been two solutions offered, lately combining the two has got some folks up and running.
    1. Click  > System Preferences
    2. Click "User & Groups"
    3. Click on Your account and look for "Apple ID" under Full name
    4. Click "Set..."  and sign in your account apple id
    5. Click  > App Store..
    6. Click "Sign in" under Quick Link tap (right side)
    7. Click "Update" tap on top
    8. Click update your app
    1 - Exit iTunes and the App Store
    2 - Delete /Macintosh HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
    3 - Reboot
    4 - Open App Store
    5 - Select updates.  Enter iTunes username/password when prompted.

  • Can't Update Software from the App Store

    The app store will not download any sort of update (iTunes or System Update). I click "install" and I have to "Agree" twice. Then I select "Download & Restart". The progress bar pops up and says "installing" then goes away. Under "Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days" it says has the "iTunes 12.1.2 update" and "OS X Yosemite Recovery Update" even though it never even downloaded and is still listed in the "Update Available" section along with "OS X Update 10.10.3 – Restart Required".
    Please help. Thanks!
