Do i have to pay for Iphoto?

I have just bought a macbook pro second hand and if i want to get iphoto i have to pay for it. Why is this?

It came with the computer - if the selled did not provide it to you then you have to pruchase it - you can contact them about missing software and about udating software ( you need the Apple ID that pruchased it to update it)
Or you will have to pruchase it

HT4906 I just upgraded iphoto, but it is version 7.1.5 (and called iPhoto 8). Do I have to pay for iPhoto 9 in order to use photo stream?

To use Photo Stream, you will need iPhoto 9.2 at least. This is a major upgrade from iPhoto 7.1.5 and you will have to buy it.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course not. You already purchased iPhoto and iMovie, so you can reinstall them for free.
If you purchased them from the Mac App Store or you got your Mac after July 2011, open the Mac App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and redownload them. Note that the latest iPhoto and iMovie need OS X Mavericks.
If you purchased them in a DVD, insert the DVD and install them. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest version.
If you got your Mac before July 2011, use the Applications Install Disc to install iPhoto and iMovie.

Do I have to pay for iPhoto '11 9.5.1, when I have iPhoto '11 9.4.3?

I upgraded to Mavericks from mountain lion and noticed iPhoto and iMovie did not upgrade with it. I have iPhoto '11 9.4.3, and when I go to the app store to try to update it, it asks me to pay $14.99 for iPhoto '11 9.5.1. They are both iPhoto '11 so it seems I should be able to update for free. Is this correct? Is my app store just not recognizing the other iPhoto I have installed?
Please help.

I should think twice if you have / need to pay for iPhoto now when you'll upgrade it.
Apple will not update / support iPhoto any more, please read this:

Do I have to pay for iPhoto upgrade...

I'm currently running iPhoto 5 (iLife suite 5) on G4 iMac - now from 1st NOvember not possible to order prints/books. BUt software upgrade doesn't offer me to upgrade iPhoto (only iTunes etc) - why not iPhoto? Do I have to upgrade to iPhoto 9 - but looking in the forum it appears maybe some problems with older OS/machines and iLife 9? So do I need to upgrade and to which version is safe? THANKS!

Ah ... when I just called Apple Store to try and purchase iLife 08 - they told me that as I had a non-Intel processor (I have iMac G4) I wouldn't be able to upgrade to iLife 08 and there no chance to print/order books etc via iphoto....

I bought my Macbook Air 3 weeks ago (23 March) and have to pay for iPhoto'11 : is that logic ?

Via time machine I used my back up of my previous Macbook Pro if this has any relation to my problem.
Now I feel like being blackmailed by Apple ....... pay or you will loos all your pictures .....

You haven't purchased iPhoto yet, have you? If not then contact Apple as ask them why iPhoto wasn't included with the other applications on the MacBook Air? Because it should have been. You do not need to purcahse it.
You can take it to a local Apple store with your purchase papers and have them install any missing applicaitons.
OR, if you still have your MacBook Pro and the disks that came with it? If so you can connect the two Macs with a FireWire cable, with the Mac Air in Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire,, and run the Software Installer disk on the MPB to install iPhoto on your MacBook Air.
The installer disk looks like this:

Have to pay for iLife for the 2nd time!?

I've got iLife apps on my mac mini mid 2011. I wanted to install them on my mb air mid 2013, but for some reason iPhoto and iMovie aren't free, except GarageBand - this app is free. I've already bought iLife apps from one Apple ID on my mac mini and the same ID I use now on my mb air. Do I have to pay for iPhoto again?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Your MacBook Air should come with those applications for free. On your MacBook Air, open the Mac App Store, log in with the Apple ID you used to set it up, go to Purchases and accept iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Keynote and Numbers.
If you do not see any application to accept, see > http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/

I wiped my MacBook Pro due to a problem, will I have to pay for iMovie or iPhoto that was originally installed on my older MacBook Pro ?

Due to a problem with my older MacBook Pro I had to wipe it clean. Now I no longer have iPhoto or iMovie , will I have to pay for those programs ? If so, are there any older versions available I can download for free.

a brandnew Mac (=aka after a clean isntall), should be registered with an AppleID.
Then, you're entitled to download the pre-installed apps for free from AppStore, just log-in with that Apple-ID...-

IPhoto upgrade, do i have to pay for it ?

Hey Ho chaps, i have been having a right merry go round today, simply helping a lady upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks so that she can use Photo Stream on her new iPhone 4S
it has NOT helped that she didnt know what her computers password was etc. but i do NOW have Mavericks installed and it is currently Indexing for Searches !
So i try to configure iPhoto to enable Photo Stream, it looks as if i have to PAY for it ???? £10.49 !!!
I have Photo Stream on my Mavericks but i dont remember having to pay for iPHOTO !!!!!!
This lady was told by the local Apple Store when she got the iPhone that to get Photo Stream on her Mac Book Pro she would have to upgrade her Snow Leopard to at least LION, which would have cost her £15 !!, but to pay for iPhoto ???? when it should come pre-installed !
However today, she found that LION is no longer available on the App Store or anywhere else for that matter !.
So she got MAVERICKS for free and let me take her Lap Top home with me to Backup Snow Leopard and Install Mavericks.\
Only to find she gotta pay to get a suitable version of iPhoto for PHOTO STREAM !!!
AM I ON THE RIGHT TRACK here, or have i been de-railed ?
Tim

Clarify for your self:
iPhoto 11 is a marketing name for iPhoto 9
iPhoto 09 is a marketing name for iPhoto 8
So, what has she got.
iPhoto 11 is around a while and early versions of it run on 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8. So it's quite possible that a machine that came with 10.6 and iPhoto 11 would have had all these features as the app was updated. But if that's iPhoto 09 then you need to purchase.

I still have ilife '09. How can i update to the new ilife? Do i have to pay for each app seperately in order to update?

I am an Aperture user and I am tired of managing my old iphoto library seperately. In order to use the new combined aperture/iphoto abilities i need a newer version of iphoto. Apple says that the new iphoto is free, however my iphoto (version 8.1.2) did not update. How do i update iphoto so that i can use the library with Aperture?

iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband are free. However, you must be running Mavericks in order to download and use them. Mavericks is free also. Therefore your Mac must be capable of running Mavericks:
The following is from: Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iWork is not as it's an upgrade and not an update. Upgrades for iWork have always had to be purchased. However, the previous iWork apps will work fine with Mavericks.

Do i have to pay for the upgrade on garageband when it was pre-installed?

Everytime i open garageband it tells me there is an upgrade available. My question is do i have to pay for upgrade because it was pre-installed in my macbook air. The little rectangle thingy you click to purchase where it says the price or free, just says upgrade but off to the side of the page in the information box its price says $14.99. so im confused on whether or not the upgrade is free. The pre-installed is GarageBand '11 version 6.0.3 the upgrade is to GarageBand '11 6.0.5

New Macs come with iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand for free. In your case, the price that appears on the side of the page is only the price of the application for Macs that didn't come with GarageBand '11 or for users that want to upgrade from an older GarageBand version, like '08 or '09. You have GarageBand '11, so press the Upgrade button without worrying about paying for the application, and you will get the most recent GarageBand for free

Terrible Customer Support and now I have to pay for their mistakes

A friend told me about a promo plan she was on, it was the 20 off data plan. So I got interested and called in to get some information about it. I ended up signing up for the plan around Jan. 27th. I then noticed that the iphone 4 was available for pre-order on the 3rd. I ordered it and received it on the 7th. Called Verizon on the 8th and let them know I received a defective phone. I was told several things by different reps about how this was going to be replaced. First they told me if I gave them another 326 dollars, they could get one shipped out the same day. Then after my call dropped I called back in, I was told that if I gave them another 326 dollars, they could get one shipped out on the 10th. I agreed and gave them my cc info. Since I did not have a working phone they put my account in suspension so I wouldn't be charged for service that I couldn't use. I guess there were problems with the fact that my account was in suspension, so they tried to call me on my iphone 4 number that was never activated and didn't work, even though my ATT number was in the notes and on my account. So the 10th came around and I called in to see why I didn't have a phone. They told me about the problem and assured me that I would receive a working iphone on the 18th, once again I did not receive a phone. Called in and I was told that they again made some mistakes and I would have a phone on the 23rd. Well guess what? No phone came on the 23rd. I finally received a phone on March 1st. Guess what? If I talked for over 5 minutes, this phone got so hot that it was uncomfortable to hold. On top of all of this they could not get my voicemail to work.
At this point they still have not refunded me for my first defective phone that I had sent back a month ago. All of the refunds that I was promised for service that I could not use were not applied. I have spent about 6-8 hours on the phone with this company trying to get a working phone. After having the second defective phone for 9 days and this nightmare I was in, I told them that I could not allocate anymore of my time trying to get them to do their jobs correctly. I wanted to return this second defective phone and I would be going back to ATT. They told me that I owned the phone now and I would have to pay the 350 dollar ETF. I laughed because it took them 21 days to get me another defective phone after I received my first defective phone. They kept making mistakes to force me outside the 14 day return window, not me. At this point its just laughable. I happened to be at an apple store picking up one of the new macbook pro's and I told them about my phone that could be used to start campfires. They ran some test's on it and replaced it on the spot. Keep in mind that at this time I was in a Verizon area and my voicemail still would not work. I got home and called them about it and my house is located in an extended area. They told me that I would have to go back to a Verizon area to setup my voicemail. So off I went. 2 hours of driving and I got the same message. I then went back to said apple store to see if they could help me out since I have wasted so much time and gas money because of the incompetence of Verizon employee's . Apple offered to call Verizon and get this straightened out. They spent over an hour with them and they still could not get my visual voicemail to work. They tell me that they are going to start a trouble ticket with the engineers and I would be receiving txt messages and calls throughout the day as they work on it. So I go back home and get a call back from someone I spoke to the day before that told me that I needed to be in a Verizon area to get my voicemail to work. After apologizing and telling me they couldn't let me return my phone or let me out of my contract for all the troubles I have. Keep in mind that I still do not have voicemail. He did however tell me that he would take care of my gas bill that was over 100 dollars for the 240 mile round trip. I faxed in the gas receipts but still have not got compensated for that and I'm not holding my breathe. This same person also said that the warehouse was having problems with the returns and thats why I haven't received my refund for the first defective phone but that I would be receiving the refund for it today. Still haven't got that...
So a couple days go by and I call in again to see if I can get my visual voicemail working because I never received a txt or phone call about it. The first person in tech support told me that it shouldn't matter that I'm in an extended network and that it works off of the data side. So he can't get it working and transfer's me to higher level tech support. This clown tells me that visual voicemail does not work through the data side and would only work in a Verizon area. He checks my account and there was no record of a trouble ticket from the other day. Which is not surprising, so he starts another trouble ticket and about 1 hour later I finally have working visual voicemail in my extended network. It only works when I'm on my WIFI. So the next day I leave my house and notice that my data is no longer working. Well I call in again for the 300th time, I get no help but they offer to send another phone. It's amazing that my data stops working the day that they do stuff to my account to get my voicemail working.
I have about $650 dollars invested in getting 1 working iphone 4. My first bill was about 236 dollars for 13 days of service that I actually used. Man what a great experience this has been.
Verizon take this phone back that you cannot get to work and refund my money please.
or cancel my service and waive the ETF so I can go back to ATT. I shouldn't have to pay for your employee's mistakes.
I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO CALL IN EVERY DAY TO GET A WORKING PHONE. I IMAGINE I HAVE SPENT OVER 8 HOURS CALLING YOU GUYS TO GET A WORKING PHONE. IS THIS NORMAL FOR VERIZON CUSTOMERS? I THOUGHT ATT WAS BAD ABOUT TELLING YOU ONE THING AND DOING ANOTHER BUT THIS IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE! I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SAY THIS BUT I REALLY MISS ATT!

First, you should be aware that for the most part, posting on here you are not talking to Verizon. This is a user forum and occassionally you get employees that post in response to threads. But in this case, if they do respond they will tell you to respond to a private message they send you with some information so they can further help you on the phone.
There are a few things odd about your situation, but hopefully they are things that can be resolved. Were you aware prior to opening a VZ account that you were not truly in a VZ area? I'm not sure about the voicemail thing not working if you are not in the VZ area, but unless you don't spend much time in your area I think that alone would detour me from wanting service with a company that I can't use some features because I don't have true service where I would use it most. To get clear info on this you should ask that detailed infor be sent to you in writing telling you of the inability to receive certain features in your home area.
As far as a rep telling you that you would be reimbursed for the gas you used...I have never heard of them doing this regardless of how far you had to drive, but hopefully if you were told this it will be resolved.
As far as them telling you that you own the phone...if you truly want to cancel service and you have proof that the reason you did not have 14 days to return the phone was because it took them 21 days to send you a replacement then you should honestly have no trouble getting this taken care of. Escalate the issue. On the otherhand, I think it's odd that they told you they wouldn't send you another phone until you paid again...maybe this is a new thing because of the iPhone but usually they will ship you a replacement with instructions for how to return the defective phone. If that phone is not received within 10 days (I think) they charge you the full retail price of the device. Again, they may have changed this for the iPhone.
Your bill for $236 for 13 days of service...a little curious how that is possible. What exactly were you charged for (perhaps it is a prorated bill for the 13 days and then the next full month in advance....which is not so odd when opening a new account)? Without knowing what plan you have in the first place it's hard to tell if this is an odd bill or just the pains of a first bill. I would have to think it is for far more than just 13 days of use.
I get that you don't want to or don't feel like you have the time to have to get this straightened out, but unless that amount of money means little to you I would think one way or another I would find the time to get this resolved once and for all. You may not like this part, but if you weren't really aware of how VZ worked in your area before switching to them then I would wonder why you didn't do a little more detailed research before making the decision to switch and knowing the choice would have to stick for 2 years unless you paid an ETF.
Finally, as far as the phone working or not working...you said that Apple gave you a working phone. You also said that the voicemail was finally resolved. Currently, the issue appears to be with data. Are you sure that it's the phone that has the problem? Or is it the service in your area? You need to be very sure that your area, being that it is NOT a VZ area truly does not have a high instance of issues for certain features. Data would fall under one of those features that may or may not work if you are not in one of their areas I would think. If it is the phone, and everything else combined is completely correct and easy to prove then you can try escalating the issue with VZ once more. If all else fails, you can probably file a complaint with the BBB (read the terms of your contract first to be sure). I am not sure how the BBB service works for wireless conflicts, but you can easily find this info on the BBB website. Also, if the BBB is not an option you can check for other remedies. Someone on another thread sent an email to someone higher up in the VZ network (can not recall whom but the thread is fairly recent) and was able to get help with an issue they were having. First things first, find a little more time and contact VZ again. Insist that your issue is escalated. If you are told a case or something is opened request the case #. Record the name of every rep you speak with, the date and the time. This is something you should always do regardless of the company as the more info you have available in regards to your contacts, the better prepared you are for any issues. Good luck with everything.

Do we have to pay for audiobooks twice on same account, different phones?

My husband bought and listened to an audiobook on his iPhone.
Now I'd like to listen to that same book on my iPhone. Do I have to pay for it again?
It's not in my list of purchases or on my computer backup. I started to use the cloud about a year ago and he has just started using the cloud in the past month.
Help please!
