  • I cant update iMovie and iPhoto because of a false account

    Hi, I cant upgrade my iMovie and iPhoto because i dont know my pass anymore and made a new account.
    How can I still upgrade it ?

    Im having the same issue - now what?
    I also, forgot my password, made a new one and it says:
    Also, it does now allow for a purchase in the app store. I read somewhere it was $14.99. Ill pay it to get my iphoto library to work, but it doesn't have a price, it only says "update". Its got me going in circles.

  • Hi guys, I have a problem with my new macbook pro 15". I tried to updtate the apps (iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband), but an error was displayed "You have updates available for other accounts". I don't have other accounts!!! :(

    Hi guys,

  • I am not able to update iPhoto, iMovie and garageband on my macbook pro. these three apps came installed with ilife suite.

    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.

  • 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that the Mac App Store would be open on 7 January, I thought that my iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand would already be out of date.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 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.

  • Iphoto and imovie and garageband don't work!!

    iphoto and imovie and garageband will not reinstall, but they worked after upgrading to mountain lion, but have had to do a clean install and i can't get them to install now, any suggestions please?
    thanks!

    I have the same probleme
    Nevethless, I just tried the following scenario :
    On my Imac (OS X Lion), I have two user accounts, mine and one for my daughter.
    1. If my daughter send me an email from her account and her Iphoto using iphoto template, I receive her email on my accouint perfectly. I do not have  the message "plug-in missing".
    2. On the other hand, if I send  an email from my account and my Iphoto using iphoto template to my daughter, she receives my email on her account with the message "plug-in missing".
    It seems the probleme comes from either my iphoto or my domain an dnot from my mail application. But no idea to fix it.

  • I deleted photobooth by accident and i have tried to get it back with the setup disk, i got imovie and garageband back but not photobooth. Any ideas?

    i deleted photobooth by accident and i have tried to get it back with the setup disk, i got imovie and garageband back but not photobooth. Any ideas?

    PhotoBooth is not on the iLife disk which has iMovie and Garage Band.  PhotoBooth is integrated into OSX, so it's not going to be easy to get back.  You'll need to get it from the recovery disk or partition.  Which OSX are you using so we can point you in the right direction.  NEVER delete any of the OSX programs.

  • 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.

  • I upgrade OS-X Mavericks and I lost my iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand and so on, is there a way to get it installed?

    I have a pre-installed  OS-X Mountain Lion Mac book air(2012). I upgrade OS-X Mavericks.
    After the upgrade i lost my iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand and so on ....
    I checked my purchased from app store. But i can not see anything.
    When I want to install from app store, it wants me to pay for them.
    By the way I have no any backup for OS-X Mountain Lion.
    How can I have these aplication on to OS-X Mavericks without paying?
    Also, can I return back to OS-X Mountain Lion and How?

    You should be able to install your iLife applications from the App Store. This Apple Knowledge Base article has the directions.
    OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
    Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion  If you reinstall Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion installed, on an erased or replaced hard drive, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.After installation, start from Lion.
    Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases.
    If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
    You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.
