Cannot upgrade, says I already have iMovie installed.

I get two messages to update iMovie and iPhoto. When I go to update I get a message that says I already have them installed check iMovie is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates.  I'm going round in circles.  I did upgrade it on my iMac but I cannot do it on my MacBook Pro. Retina, which I purchased in 2012.   I get the same message for iPhoto. My question, why can't I upgrade?

On my MacBook Pro, it is OSx 10.8.3, 2.6GHZ, Inter Cor 17, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
The iMovie I have is iMovie 11 ver 9.08 and the update would take me to 9.0.9
The iPhoto I have is iPhoto 11 9.4.2 and the update is 9.4.3
As I said I try to upgrade these and get they are already installed, choose software update from the apple menu.
Can you help?

    Open the iTunes application, go to the upper left to About iTunes and see what version it says you are running. 
    Did you actually run an updater? 
    Use Spotlight to see if you have multiple copies of the iTunes Application on your computer.

  • Since opening my i-tunes account I have had several desktop/laptop computers. I have just purchsed another laptop and when i've tried to access i-tunes it says I already have this installed on 5 other computers but I dont have the old ones

    Having had several laptops with i-tunes installed i'm getting a message on my newly purchased laptop saying that I already have this installed on 5 other machines and I am unable to access i-tunes. Unfortunately the other laptops are now not in my possession any suggestions please

    Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but if you've reached the 5 computer limit then you can log into your account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

  • "You already have wiring installed within your hom...

    Hi. My installation date is in 3 days but I received an SMS from BT today, saying I already have wiring installed and that they will not come but they will activate my phone line via order a code that starts with VOL... After carefully looking around the house I found two sockets, one says BT and has a splitter attached to it, other says NTL, with a closed one next to i (also says NTL) which is connected to the old tenants Virgin broadband router with a white cable with round end - she cancelled her contract but left the device here. I'm horrible with these stuff, I have couple of questions:
    1-I guess I should use the BT socket but what should I do with NTL one and the white cable with round end? Is it safe to pull the cable and put away the Virgin router? It looks like this: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxNjAw/$T2eC16ZHJF​8E9nnC8GrUBQsrNLi6G!~~60_35.JPG
    2-How do I connect my new BT device to the socket? Is there a cable in the package I will receive?
    3- Do I have to do something with the number starting with VOL or is it something BT does for me?
    Thank you.

    Hi sollinatri,
    Thanks for posting. You'll receive all the cables and connections you require to get started. Just keep note of the VOL reference in case of any problems. You might want to contact NTL if you're removing their equipment ust to be on the safe side.
    Cheers

  • Computer crashed. Re installed os x tiger, when trying to download it says I already have the programs in my computer, Can I recover my old things?

    My computer had crashed. I tried most everything and had to resort to re installing my os x tiger discs. When my computer crashed, I was running snow leopard. I do not have the disc for it. Anyhow, I am now trying to download things and it is saying I already have them in my system which is leading me to believe that all of my stuff is still on the computer. So my question is, if it is.. how do I retrieve it? And is there a way for me to get my snow leopard back without having the disc? I am trying to avoid going to an apple store because I cannot afford it. I really hope someone has some answers on this for me. Thank you for your time!

  • Pro free trial downloaded but it won't install because it says I already have a superior product (Standard)?

    I have Adobe Standard.  I'd like a free trial of Adobe Pro because moving pages around in a 400 page document in Standard seems to be a nightmare.  It says Pro downloaded but it won't install because it says I already have a superior product.

    I think the point is that you have a registered product and that is being interpreted as superior. Anyway, you may have to uninstall (after deactivating) Std to look at Pro. Don't do this if you do not have a backup of the Std install file and S/N that you should have saved to a backup CD and/or backup HD.

  • Can I install IMovie HD 6 if I already have IMovie 11 on my computer?

    Can I install IMovie HD 6 if I already have IMovie 11 on my computer?

    Happily this is easily achieved, but it has to be done backwards.
    Delete iMovie 11 (just drag it to the trash). Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife 6 install disks. Update it to iMovie 6.0.3.
    Now re-install iMovie 11. This automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
    Then reinstall iMovie 11.
    iMovie 6 works great with iDVD 7.
    Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.
    Another method is to copy the iMovie HD app from an older G4 or G5 Mac application folder and put it directly into the application folder on the Lion/Mountain Lion Mac, in a new folder you create there, calling it iMovie Previous Version.

    sales at AppStore are based upon 'users'= accounts; if the other Mac is running under your account, you can download and install a copy of iMovie 'for free' (the ToU of Appstore allow to  install purchases on as many computers you own = running under your account)
    If the other Mac is running under a different account, you have to log-in at AppStore under those account, and purchase it it.
    Quiet simple ... and cheap. And convenient.-
