Garage band was installed under another apple ID

I recently purchased a Mac mini from someone. The iLife suite was registered under thier apple ID. I could not update garageband due to this. I read some forums that said to delete the app and repurchase it. I deleted the app and now when I go to purchase it it just has an "Accept" button. When I click on the accespt button it tells me to sign in with the apple ID that Garage band was registered with. I have to have garage band to fifnish some projects. I don't mind purchasing the app but it won't even allow me to do that. Help!!

It might not be stolen. It might be carelessness on the part of the original owner. Unfortunately, it's the same result.

HT204053 i photo will not update it says it was either bought under another apple ID or cancelled but this is not the cas

i photo will not update it says it was either bought under another apple ID or cancelled but this is not the case, what do i do?

Which iPhoto version and MacOS X version did you update from? Did you previously have iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks installed or earlier versions?
Did you use a different Apple ID when you set up the Mac? If iPhoto came preinstalled, it will be bound to the apple ID you first used, when you set up your Mac.

I tried to register my stolen iPhone onto My Profile but it says that it's registered under another apple ID (which is not mine) What does this mean? Does it mean the person who stole my phone is using my phone under another Apple ID?!

I am so scared.. as I know that if they are able to access my apple ID account they can see my billing/card details. I tried to delete my billing address and card details on my apple ID account to prevent this from occuring but I can't. Please help
Many thanks,

You should change your AppleID password NOW. And if it says it was registered under another AppleID, the thief has probably done it.

My stolen Iphone 4S is registered under another apple ID (not mine). Help to stop Chiefs of our Iphones!

My stolen Iphone 4S (DNPGN90ADTDF) is registered under another apple ID (not mine).
I have Apple ID but I have never registered my Apple products on this web site. One of them Iphone 4S has been stolen and I wanted to inform the administration and users about it. I was trying to register it under my ID and found out that it has been registered under another apple ID.
I have papers from the French Police about the stolen Iphone, I have Iphone's box with serial number and if it's important I can request the check.
How can I find out information about the Apple ID who registered my stolen Iphone?
P.S. My very expensive bag was stolen where were the Iphone and a lot of documents and very important things.

You're not likely to see any updates show up for 10.5.x
The very first MacBook 1,1s can actually run 10.6, which is updatable to 10.6.8, but will only run in 32 bit mode on yours.

General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

My device registered under another apple ID, how to register under my ID

My device registered under another apple ID, how to register under my ID

Unfortunately, you can't transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another.

Desktop App was purchased by another apple id now it will not renew

I Photo was registered by another Appl ID, now I cannot renew or update the app. I have deleted the app I still can not repurchase or renew the app? Any suggestions?

Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept it and the other iWork/iLife applications into your Apple ID, do so.
2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
4. Buy them.

When I open Garage Band '09 it says" No Apple Loops found; There are no Apple Loops installed on your System. Please reinstall the Apple Loop Package".

I have garage band '09 on my mac. When I open garage band a little notice pops up saying "No Apple Loops found; There are no Apple Loops installed on your System. Please reinstall the Apple Loop Package" I have followed the instructions on the apple web page and it didn't work. I looked in all of the locations on my mac and all of the folders that should contain apple loops are empty. Is there a way I can redownload the apple loops to my mac without buying garage band '11 or one of the jam packs????????????????

How can I update an app (iphoto) that was registered with another apple id?

I bought an used Macbook Air, with Macosx 10.7.3 on it. It included apps like Iphoto and garage band. When I want to update them, I can't because the App Store is requiring the old apple ID.
Is there a way to change the apple ID for updates of apps that came with the OS?
I've tried to trash Iphoto and download it again from the app store but instead of "install" the button says "Accept" (to accept updates). However, when I click on it it asks for the old Apple ID.
Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have.
Dan

Hello,
You can't merge or change Apple ID. Applications are tied with the Apple ID used to make the purchases.
In your case the only way to download them again is to use the old Apple ID.

How can I remove an application that is under another apple id?

Apple Support Community,
I purchased a Macbook Pro, 13-inch, Mid 2012, running OS X 10.9 (13A603) used on Amazon. I neglected to reset the computer upon recieving so now I am stuck with somewhat of a quagmire. I don't want to reset the computer now since I have installed most of the programs I will need for my day to day functions not to mention all my media that I was able to convert from my old PC. There is an issue I am having with the App Store trying to update "Angry Birds" but it will not continue with the update because I am entering the wrong User ID for the download. Is there anyway I can just delete this application from the update area? I noticed that when I went to download Mavericks there were updates available for applications that were already installed on the Macbook so I simply deleted the previous versions on the Macbook and downloaded the recent updates under my Apple ID. I would do this for the Angry Birds application but this would require me to purchase it when I do not want this game on my computer... Does anyone have any advice to solve my situation?
V/R,

Garage band already installed but now its again downloading 1.17gb

MACBOOK AIR 128gb 13 inch, I am using Yosemite 10.10.1
my garage band is downloading again 1.17 gb. how to stop this?

Hi Marc,
As mentioned above, because of the way that SBO converts version numbers in to integer values to compare between versions, you do need to make sure that each segment of your version numbers have the same number of digits.
With regards to the version number message, please check that there is no reference to the older version of the add-on in either the AddOnsInstall.sbo or AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo files. These are XML files that are stored in the SBO client folder on the workstation. They hold details of which add-ons are installed and which ones are pending. If the older version does appear then you can remove that <AddOn> node, resave the files and then restart SBO to see if this corrects the problem (note: if you are not familiar with these files then I recommend you make a temporary backup of them before doing any editing).
Kind Regards,
Owen

Try repairing user directory permissions, instructions here:

Probably also worth repairing disk permissions using Disk Utility too.

I deleted iPhoto because it was installed under a different Apple ID, now I can't get it back without paying. HELP!!!

Hello. I started work at a new job and am continuously being asked for the previous employees Apple ID for various different reasons. I have sorted out most of the places where his ID was set as defualt, but have run into an issue I can't seem to figure out.
My Mac update notification popped up to lket me know I had some updates ready for downloading. When I clicked it brings me to the App store update screen. From here I selected the updates (iPhoto and iMovie). The only problem is that as soon as I select these and hit update, it brings up a window which instructs me to put in the password for this prior employees ID. Obviously I don't have this and can't get it. The problem here is that the ID name is grayed out and doesn't let you change it to my own. I did some reading in these support community walls and found that the reason for the name being grayed out is because the app that I am trying to update was orginally downloaded by using that ID. It instructed to delete the app from the computer and reinstall...
Here's where I am now and my current problem. I can't reinstall iPhoto or IMovie without paying for them through the App Store. How can I get these back without paying?
Thanks

Is this your machine or the company's? Machines that came with Snow Leopard or earlier installed come with system and software install disks that can be used to reisntall the iApps that came with the machine orignally.
If this is your machine and it came with Snow Leopard or earlier installed the disk will look slimialr to one of these:
If it is the company's machine see if they have the disks.
Do a custom install and then use Software Update to update iPhoto to the highest version that is available.

You can use the Recovery Partition already in place on your Macbook.
