Macbook air is awesome

well I can. I send message about this issue, and they want from me apple ID, serial number of mac, name of apps to update.
After that they found out the problem and fix it, I received this messege:
some adjustments have been made and you should not be able to accept and install the updates to the iLife apps.  To install updates for the preinstalled software, you will need to sign in to the Mac App Store with your Apple ID and then accept the purchases:
1) Open the App Store application.
2) Click on the Store menu.
3) If you are not signed in to the App Store with your Apple ID, you will see a "Sign In…" option.
4) Click on the Purchased tab.
5) You should see a message "You Have 3 Apps to Accept". Click "Accept" next to the iLife apps (iPhoto/iMovie/Garageband).

  • Cannot install iPhoto 4 from iLife 04

    Help, I cannot install iPhoto from iLife 04 cd, i always get a message that one of these programs are opened itune, idvd, iphoto...
    Iphoto is not installed in my computer.
    What should I do?

    I had this same problem. There is probaby a iTunes help file or something like that running in the background. I think you can look in system profiler and find what is running and shut it down. Once you do this you should be able to load iPhoto for the iLife disk. I am not at my mac right now. I will check this evening when I get home and see where I found the file running and post a more detailed response.

  • My MBP has Mountain Lion installed. The iPhoto version is 8.1.2. Cannot install iPhoto 9.4 without installing 9.0, but cannot find 9.0. Solution, please.

    If you're running Mac OS X 10.8.x ou can purchase iPhoto version 9.x from the App Store. If you purchase iPhoto at the App Store you will automatically get the most up-to-date version and you won't need to install the 9.4 update.

  • Installing iPhoto/iLife

    I would like to upgrade iPhoto, which is installed in my iMac (Mac OS X 10.4.11/iPhoto 6 v. 6.0.6).
    I have some discs, which came with my MacBook (Mac OS X 10.5.6/iPhoto '08 v. 7.1.5.). These discs include the latest iLife (which, in turn, should include the latest iPhoto).
    1. Can I install iLifein my iMac even if the Mac OS X is different (10.4.11 vs. 10.5.6.)?
    2. Can I install iLife in my iMac without losing the pictures, which are stored in my iMac?

    1. Can I install iLifein my iMac even if the Mac OS X is different (10.4.11 vs. 10.5.6.)?
    Yes but not from your MB disks - they are specific to the system they came with and the iLife '08 license for the MB is only for the MS - it does not include additional installations. You need to purchase an iLife '08 package (possibly on E-Bay)
    2. Can I install iLife in my iMac without losing the pictures, which are stored in my iMac?
    Yes - the application and the library are separate - but you must backup prior to upgrading as always - things do happen

  • Cannot install iphoto

    I just Installed Mavericks and now have to update iPhoto.  App store will not accept my Apple ID and password.  (same one used to install Mavericks)

    No - you're original disc(s) are where you get iLife. For the price of iLife (which would come on a disc anyway) you could buy a new optical drive...

  • 10.7.2 clean install, cannot install iPhoto 9.2

    So 3 days ago I bought a new MBA 13" base model and after 24 hours of attempts, I couldn't get iPhoto to update to 9.2. So after 2 days (additional) of trying the Lion Recovery thing (didn't work), I went to my Late 2011 Mac mini to the App store and force downloaded a fresh, up-to-date, copy ot Lion. Copied this to a USB drive, erased the MBA internal disk, Fresh Clean Install of Lion (15 minutes btw). Lion boots fine, asked me to sign into iCloud and told me that to turn on photostream that I needed to download iPhoto. Went to the App store, logged in, went to Purchased, downloaded iPhoto 9.2. The download went through almost the entire way and then, "An Error Occurred" appears in place of the download progress bar in the Purchased tab. A few moments later my screen goes Gray and 3/4 of the way down in the center I get the Spinning Bar. Now it's stuck there, spinning (for atleast the last half hour).

    What version do you have now?
    Upgrading from iPhoto 09 or earlier requires a purchase.

  • Can't install iphoto 6.0.3!! help

    Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have a imac G4 256 MB w/ OX 10.4.6. I am still running iphoto 2 (what the computer came with) Now I finally want to upgrade to iphoto 6.0.3 and the computer won't let me. When I am told to select a destination to install it, my Mac HD icon comes up w/ a red exlamation point through it. When I select it I get this message: "you cannot install iphoto update 6.0.3 on this volume. An eligible iphoto apllication was not found in the location application/iphoto/app." Does anyone have any idea what I need to do. I am not very computer savvy. Also my computer says that I have 38.3 GB (is that memory?) w/ 21.8 free and iphoto needs 52.9 MB so I think I should have enough. Any help or thoughts is greatly appreciated. thanks

    hello brooklyngirl
    you say that you are still using iphoto 2. you have to have iphoto 6 installed before you can download version 6.0.3. the only way to get iphoto 6 is to buy it. that is buy the ilife'06 package. once you install it then and only then will you get the update. sorry this is the way it has to be.

  • Installing iPhoto update

    When installing iPhoto 6.0.1 update I get a big red shout on my hard disk icon and the message “You cannot install iPhoto Update 6.0.1 on this volume. an eligible iPhoto application was not found in the location / Applications/iPhoto.app.” I know I have iPhoto app.
    what am I doing wrong?
    Victor Katkowski

    You are right John. I have iPhoto 5.0.4. They don’t make it easy for you. I suppose that is the reason the download was not in the free Apple Software Update menu.
    Thank you very much for your help. This is the second time you have given me the correct information.

  • Installing iPhoto, iGuitar and iMovie

    i cannot install iPhoto, iguitar or imovie on my mac book pro. i have the option to accept them. but when i do this i get the message that they are assigned to another apple ID. but that particular ID was blocked and is inactive. How can i install them on my mac book pro?

    Thanx Zyriab.. but i already know wich one i want but the thing is that when i configurated my mac book pro i used my old apple ID. That ID had been blocked.. so when i go to app store to install my iguitair and the other apps.. i get an message telling me that the app is assigend to another apple ID and that i need to sign in with that ID. But that ID is not actieve anymore.. so i can not used it. But when i tried to buy the apps.. i only get the option to accept it and not th eoption to buy it.  So that is my problem

  • After re installing OS x I got following information as I want install IPhoto. These apps cannot be accepted on this computer.

    After re installing OS x I got following information as I want install IPhoto. These apps cannot be accepted on this computer.

    The answer was authorization codes.  It took three phone calls, several emails to Apple Tech support (after I purchased the $160 applecare plan) to get them.  Note, I had to call back after four days, the first Senior Advisor simply disappeared and refused to respond to emails or phone calls.  The next Senior advisor spent the weekend looking for the first advisor, then scheduled a phone call to tell me he would begin looking at the issue.  When I asked he specficially discounted the authorization codes:
    "I don't know if issuing a redeem code for iPhoto is an appropriate resolution for your issue.  Since, I don't have the ability to issue any redeem codes for the Mac App Store, I am still waiting to hear back from Sean, the previous agent you were working with, regarding any status he has about your issue."
    Three days after that...here are your codes.  Note a restart is necessary to properly get the iLife apps to update, now through the App Store.
    Also, this is the second issue where I have lost contact with a Senior Advisor and had to restart the process. Standard procedure?

  • I'd like to use iPhoto '09 with Lion. Tried to install from time machine back-up no go. Tried to install from iLife '09 DVD no go.

    I'd like to run iPhoto '09 on Lion. Tried to install on Lion from Time Machine backup. Got message iPhoto won't work because of a missing Library file. Tried to install iPhoto '09 from iLife '09 DVD. Got message that it cannot be installed on my system. iMovie runs previous versions and iTunes runs previous versions.
    Why can't iPhoto run on Lion? My wife has over 10,000 photos in her library and she's taken the time to sort them into folders. I've recovered the library with the folder sort but have to use it on an external drive with a Snow Leopard system on it. The latest iPhoto ('11) has no provision for organizing into folders. I'd really like to have everything in one place with one OS (Lion) and two iPhoto apps '09 and '11 and I suppose 2 photo libraries. I've been trying to resolve this ever since iPhoto '11 came out and I installed it. I can't begin to tell you how difficult it is to answer the question " Where are my folders?" brian25

    I tried to check the Library setup on iMovie and iTunes. The iMovie Libraries seem to be part of the applications and my iTunes applications have become Russian so I have another problem. I tried to install iPhoto '09 again from my iLife '09 disk. When I selected "Custom Install" to load iPhoto only, the box I got said " A later version of this application is already installed" The iPhoto item which I would choose for a custom install says "skip". Yesterday I ignored this and went on with an install. The final screen said "Installation Successful" There was no iPhoto '09 on my hard drive. As far as I can tell, you cannot load iPhoto '09 from a Time Machine backup. There is no Lion compatable iPhoto '09 in the App store, and iPhoto '09 will not install onto Lion from the iLife '09 disk.I don't understand exactly what you mean by "load my backup and convert again" Do you mean go to the app store and access my purchases and re- download iPhoto '11 and reinstall it and re-convert my iPhoto library? I suppose what I should have done originally was to duplicate my iPhoto '09 library and put it on an external drive for safekeeping. Who knew it wouldn't install on Lion from Time Machine? When I downloaded iPhoto '!! from the app store I should have duplicated it and saved a copy to an external hard drive for safekeeping and then proceeded with installing iPhoto '11 on my hard drive.I suppose when the Thunderbolt concept is fully realized and monster Thunderbolt external droves are in common use this will seem a lot easier. I have rebuilt my iPhoto '09 library and have it on a hard disk that has a bootable copy of Snow Leopard and a working copy of iPhoto '09 also. I think you are telling me to reinstall iPhoto '11 on my internal hard drive and reconvert the iPhoto library used by iPhoto '11. Right? brian25

  • I can't install iPhoto 11 app on second hand macbook air

    Hey,
    On a second hand macbook air with formatted ssd disk + reinstalled Lion, I can't install ilife. It is already installed by another user (former owner of the macbook air ?).
    How can this be solved ?
    Thx
    jan

    Just an agreement with Csound1 - you need to begin again anew (is that repetitious?).
    CleanMyMac has obviously made the installation of Adobe products impossible. Which products, specifically, are you trying to install and which versions? You should ALWAYS use the provided Adobe Uninstallers to uninstall an Adobe product. Kind of pointless information at this time, I know, but just as a reminder for 'next time,' when you surely will no longer be using CleanMyMac.

  • How to install iPhoto an DVD  only from my iLife 09 disk

    Following hard drive replacement I now have Snow Leopard. I tried to install iphoto and DVD only from iLife 09 disk but could not find a way to install them only.
    The full bundle will use all the free disk space I have which is 4 gbs. Following install of SnowLeopard from new disk iphoto and DVD did not install.

    You can do what you want
    BUT
    you need a minimum of 10 GB of free space for normal operations so you need to find a way to reduce disk usage - 4 GB is not enough and will cause slow operation and possible damage to systems or data
    You seriously need to free up disk space - moving your iPhoto library to an external drive may be the answer -
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • I cannot install updates for iMovie, or iPhoto.

    I cannot install updates for iMovie, or iPhoto. It keeps telling me "You have updates for available for other accounts. To update this application sign into the account you used to purchase it."  The thing is, I am logged into the only Apple ID account that I have.
    What do I need to do to fix this?
    I have a MacBook Pro, with a Retina Display.

    No I did not.  These apps came with the MacBook Pro I recently purchased.  I merely logged into the AppStore and checked for updates.  Updates for iMovie and iPhoto both showed up and I clicked on update all and I got the message "You have updates for available for other accounts. To update this application sign into the account you used to purchase it."
