Cannot update Imovie and Gargage Band

I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X 10.8 and afterwards was advised that there were several programs that needed or had available updates.
I updated most of them then I received a message when I tried to update one of them that said, "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." I realized that back when I first bought the computer I accidentially established two separate apple ID's and must have used different id's for different programs. It took me a while but I figured which applications were purchased wtih which Id and by switching back and forth I managed to update all of the applications except for the two mentioned above. No matter which ID I use to try and update these two applicartions I get that notice.
There is no other Id that I have used to download applications onto my computer as I am the only one who uses it and I have no idea how to update the applications. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I bought the system it was using Safari as the OS and now is using Mountain Lion as of yesterday.
I have IMovie 11 Version 9.0.4 and  Garage Band '11 Version 6.0.4
I have I photo '11 9.4.2
Hope this helps you diagnose my issue.
thanks

  • Cannot update iMovie and iPhoto from Apple Store using Mountain Lion

    Hi,
    Everytime I try and update iMovie and iPhoto from the App Store I get an "an error has occured" followed by a "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)." I tried to download the update from the apple website, but much to my chagrin I was told "The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available."
    Help anyone?
    Thanks,

    I have only had one AppleID ever.  I do not have any other AppleIDs.  My kids have thier own... and only one each for this very reason.  Pick an ID and stick with it becuase it will be with you the life of ownership of Apple products.

  • IMovie and Garage Band gone after Mountain Lion upgrade.

    I upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion by buying it in the itunes store and uploading it.  Now, imovie and garage band are gone.  I have nothing in My Purchases, as these came with my mac when I bought it, and I don't think I have a cd.  Can I get these back without buying new? 

    As shldr said, iLife applications (iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand, iDVD and iWeb) came preinstalled on your Mac, so if you made a clean install of Mac OS X, they were deleted because Mac OS X doesn't include iLife apps.
    In order to install the iLife applications again, you need the Applications DVD that came with your Mac, so insert it and follow the steps to install your iLife applications. If you haven't got the DVD, call Apple to get replacement DVDs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 After installing the applications, open Apple menu > Software Update to install the most recent version

  • How do I update iMovie and iPhoto? it tells me "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."

    I have been trying to update imovie and iphoto but i keep getting the same message and dont know how to go about it. Help please!

    You obviously haven't bothered to read the software license agreement that covers iPhoto.
    It states exactly what I have been explaining to folks that you now come along and contradict;
    http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/iPhoto.pdf (underlining mine)
    B. If you obtained the Apple Software preinstalled by Apple on Apple-branded hardware, in order to use the Apple Software on more than one of the Apple-branded computers you own or control under the Mac App Store Product Usage Rules, you must log in to the Mac App Store and associate the Apple Software with your Mac App Store account. If you choose not to associate the preinstalled Apple Software with your Mac App Store account, you are permitted to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer at any one time. Please also note that by choosing to associate the preinstalled Apple Software with your Mac App Store account, you will also associate any other Apple software applications (i.e., iMovie and GarageBand) that are provided to you as part of the same preinstalled application bundle.
    You have been lucky, because they realized that you were not intelligent enough to work with logically or to understand the license agreement, the Apple employees likely gave you these redemption codes to get rid of you. I seriously doubt that Apple is going to make a policy and give every user redemtion codes because they fail to read the terms of use and fail to associate their iLfe apps to their Apple ID correctly.
    There is no bug. It works this way by design.

    What version of iTunes do you have installed? If you are trying to update to iOS 6 you need iTunes 10.7 or later.

  • Is iPhoto and iMovie and garage band on Lion reinstall thumb drive from Apple??

    Is iphoto and imovie and garage Band On the Os x Lion reinstall thumb Drive Sold By Apple???

    No.  iLife is a separate product that is bundled with the purchase of a new Mac, not the purchase of a new OS.
    So, anyone with an older Mac would have pay for an upgrade to iLife in addition to paying for an upgrade to Lion.
    On a positive note, you can now upgrade separate components in the App Store (i.e. iPhoto), instead of paying for the complete iLife suite

  • I really want to update my iMovie, but I guess I need to update a lot of things first, which costs a lot of money. Is there any way I can just update iMovie and nothing else?

    - If you have a 1G ipod you can't update past 3.1.3.  To identify yourd see:
    Identifying iPod models
    - Be aware that if you can/do update the iOS to the latest (4.2.1 for a 2G and 4.3.4 for a 3G) you may not be able to sync to the old computer since that computer will need the latest iTunes to see/sync with the update iPod.  Yo need an Max with at least OSX 10.5.8.
    You can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    You can use on of the third-party programs dicussed here to transfer other stuff:
    new PC: Apple Support Communities
    Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file to the new computer you will loose all app data and restore from that backup. That file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • Since upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto, iMovie and Garage band has simply disappeared from my Mac. HELP!?

    Since upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto, iMovie and Garage band has simply disappeared from my Mac. HELP!?

    Hi Jdireen,
    As someone who uses the iLife applications on a daily basis on my Mac I can understand how it would be upsetting to have them disappear suddenly. Let's see if we can get you back up and running.
    You can download the applications again and reinstall them from the Mac App Store - 
    GarageBand - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/garageband/id682658836?mt=12
    iMovie - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/imovie/id408981434?mt=12
    iPhoto - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iphoto/id408981381?mt=12
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I updated imovie and I Used to be able to save as Quicktime file, now not an option & files are so large when I save as mpeg4 and just rename them. Please help!

    Actually it is easier than I thought. It is H264 but the wrapper is m4v. You can just change that in the finder to .mov and drop it into iDVD. iMovie will send it to iTunes so just right click on it in iTunes and select reveal in finder and then copy/paste to desktop and change to .mov. Then drag into iDVD. Really easy.

  • 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.
