GarageBand and iMovie not installing after restore

Hello,
I have an iPad 2, it had GarageBand and iMovie installed before iOS 5.1 no problems.
I updated to iOS 5.1 and it was all fine...2 days later I am listening to a podcast and suddenly the audio cut out.  I tried playing music and video and still nothing! So I tried all the obvious stuff restarting etc and eventually had to run a full restore from my backup.
This finally worked and my audio is back but now iTunes will not install iMovie or GarageBand despite the fact I own them and I have the latest iOS. If I go to iTunes on iPad and lookup the software it come up with the cost instead of the expected "install" option.
I would also confirm I had already had everything synced correctly.
Any suggestions? I don't fancy another 2 hours restoring my iPad again!

Sometimes when you update the software, the settings seem to go a little wacky and simple things like restarts, resets, and signing in and out of your ID can cure so many little issues. When I've updated in the past, I have had little issues that could not be logically explained - at least in my mind. So I start with the simple stuff.
I'm glad that you were able to download and install the apps again.

  • IMovie, Garageband and iPhoto not installed after Mac OSX Snow Leopard installation

    I tried to repair the hard drive of my MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro I own is not the latest one. I think this is from the previous generation. The disk cannot be repaired anymore so I just decided to erase the content then reinstalled the OS. I already updated the software but iMovie, iPhoto and Garageband was not in my applications. What should I do? I don't want to spend money to have those apps.

    Perform a custom install of them from the DVDs which shipped with the computer.

  • IPAD resetting itself and will not activate after restore

    Hi
    I got an iPAD 3G+WIFI just over a month ago and everything was working fine. all of a sudden it just started resetting itself. I got a message on screen saying I should restore the iPAD and a strange error saying "iPhone cannot call" (or something like that) so I connected to iTunes, backup, and restored. The problem is that after restore the iPAD won't activate and iTunes puts up an error saying "We're sorry, iPAD is damaged. Please take to the closest Apple store". (I tried all sorts of forced restart and restore that I found in various forums but it just won't activate)
    Now...the additional problem... I got this as a gift from the US, but I live in Malta (Europe) and the closest Apple store is basically in another country!! The local Apple agent isn't licensed for servicing iPADs yet.
    1. Can this be solved via software?
    2. Is it possible to ship back via post?
    Thanks

    I sounds like a hardware problem to me. I suspect you can send it back but first your typically need and RMA number which you get from Apple. Have you asked the locale store of how to send it back? Since it seem that it is within the 90 day free telephone support period you should be able to call Apple in the USA for shipping instruction. Go to the USA Apple site to find contact information.

  • GarageBand and iMovie Not Opening

    Hello All,
    I have an iBook Dual USB running 10.4.3. When I try to open iMovie or GarageBand, it bounces in the dock 2 to 6 times, but then it doesn't do anything. No triangle under it or anything. So what is causing this? I have reset the PRAM, and PMU. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    What is the overall capacity of the hard drive?
    Have you done any hard drive maintenance lately? If not, try booting into Safe Mode. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
    You will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
    Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). Repair permissions on it.
    See if a little hard drive maintenance helps things out. I don't think this will help you out with the iLife applications, but it may quicken your performance a bit.
    Still, if you are running Tiger with only 192 MB of RAM, that will certainly slow things down.

  • Events and Projects not opening after Restoring from broken Hard drive.

    Hi all!
    I have a major problem. After almost 3 months editing 6 projects within the same library the hard drive died. These projects are for a very important client and are worth a lot of time and money. We always backup all the raw material on 3 hard drives so we do have all the raw material, however FCPX for some reason had stopped making backups of the projects after it was updated to 10.1.2.  (The loss of these projects could mean the downfall of my production company.) We had a professional data recovery company recover all the data to a new hard drive without any problem, we can see the libraries and open them, HOWEVER the events and projects within the libraries DO NOT OPEN OR SHOW UP.
    I have entered into the library in the finder and everything seems to be there, all the events files show up. But FCPX wont recognize them.
    Any help would be much appreciated,
    Thanks, Tom
    You can see here that everything is inside the library folder.
    But they don't show up in FCPX.
    P.S
    Also this file is showing up only after the data was restored.

    The journal files are something that've been generated by the data recovery. It's completely hosed the data base.
    I don't know if this will work. Try carefully removing all the journal files. Put them somewhere else in folders with the location where they came from. Also move out the currentversion.flexolibrary file. Hopefully without the flexolibrary file the application will generate a new one.  Then launch the application.
    WHy did you continue to operate when there were no backups, without even a hard drive backup?
    Wwhat version of the software are you using? 10.1.2?

  • IPod and iTunes not syncing after restoring library on new computer

    Recently, my computer crashed. Lost everything. I was finally able to restore my music on my laptop to iTunes. However, now when I upload new music from the store, it saves it on my library, but will not sync to my iPod, even when I manually try to sync it.
    Help!!!

    Since the computer crash, have you re-authorized it?

  • IPhoto Thumbnails and Photos Not Displaying After Restore

    Hi,
    I recently reset my iMac to overcome an indexing problem.  I backed up my iPhoto library to an external hard drive and once the Mac was rebuilt I copied the iPhoto file back across from the backup to the iMac.
    When I ran iPhoto and selected the iPhoto library to use, I get the Events thumbnails grid but there is no content other than the name of the event.
    If I click on an Event I then get:
    Clicking on a photo gives me:
    I tried copying and importing the iPhoto file again, but the same thing happens.
    I can see by inspecting the Media folder under the Import to Library option that all the photos are there.
    I've tried rebuilding and repairing the iPhoto database by holding down Option/CMD when opening iPhoto and selecting options 3, 4, 1 and 2 in that order but still hasn't helped.
    Anyone know why they're not displaying?
    Thankfully, when I backed up the iPhoto library I also "exported" all the photos as individuals to my Cloud storage, so I also have another backup - but I'd rather not use this second backup if possible as I want to keep my Events as per the main backup.
    I also have a 3rd backup (yes, I'm paranoid about my photos!) on Time Machine (didn't use that for the restore as I was told it would re-introduce the indexing errors).
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm guessing this is as it should be?
    That looks good, your original image files are still in the iPhoto Library but need reconnecting.
    I've tried rebuilding and repairing the iPhoto database by holding down Option/CMD when opening iPhoto and selecting options 3, 4, 1 and 2 in that order but still hasn't helped.
    Then try the last resort and rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager.  You can download it here, the free trial will suffice for this:  Fat Cat Software – iPhoto Library Manager

  • Why does the installer not open and finish the install after it downloads?

    I do not not understand why the downloader will not open and finish the install after it downloads - all I get is more advertising junk trying to sell me things I don't need.

    The Adobe Download Assistant.    I took a screen shot, and it is just kind of stuck here.

  • Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update

    my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
    phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

    Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
    It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
    Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.

  • Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

    iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
