How do I re-install iMovie when it was pre-installed on the iMac and no disks were in the box?

Hi,
I purchased my iMac in August 2011. It came pre-installed with iMovie and other iLife applications. Recently I have had some issues with iMovie (it crashes on start-up) and i came to the conclusion to try a re-install.
However as it was pre-installed and no disks were provided i'm a little confused how, without purchasing it again in the Mac App store. I have looked in the Mac App store in Purchases and iMovie or no other iLife apps appear there. So i know if i purchase it again i will be charged.
Can any one help - or has had this problem in the past?
Note: I am running Moutain Lion now but when it was purchased it had Snow Lepoard installed and as soon as I booted it up i installed Lion as i was given a free copy by Apple when i bought the Mac. If this helps anything.
Cheers,
Tim

Hi Ralph,
I live in the UK and i have called apple support but it is all automated and as i don't have apple care they said that i would need to open an incident which would cost £35. iMovie on the Mac App store is only £10.50!
do you know of another way of contacting them for an issue like this? is there anyone i can speak to on an online chat?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to fix my itunes. When I was trying to download the new 1114 version, a window popped up saying R6034 C runtime library was incorrectly loaded. Then another window said iTunes not installed properly

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to fix my iTunes. When I tried to update to the latest version (1114) a window popped up saying R6034 C runtime library incorrectly installed. Then another window popped up saying that iTunes was installed incorrectly Error 7 (windows error 1114). Hope you can help.

Solved the issue without using the trash . I tried to consolidate the library in LACIE, then clicked on any exclamation-mark song and tried to locate the file. Repeating those steps 3 or 4 times cleared it up. That was confirmed when I synced the entire library on a iPod Classic, and showed up no problems after syncing the Nano.
What went wrong was perhaps to fail to consolidate the library at first .

How do I find installer? When I try to install downloads, the box says that I do not have the Installer I need.

How do I find installer? When I try to install downloads, the box says that I do not have the Installer I need.

If it's updates through the Office auto-updater that are having problems, that's probably an issue you'll need to take up on Microsoft's support site. If you're having problems installing Office from scratch and it's saying it can't find Installer, you may need to repair your hard drive. More help will probably be obtained if you post in the Mac OS X 10.6 forum; this forum, where you originally posted, is for help with the Communities themselves.

Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and BBP

Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and MBP when I purchased them. When I look at the App Store, it dose not show ML as purchased (to download again) - do I have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
Thanks for your help.
Regards
NGI

do i have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
No. You can still make a bootable recovery DVD, but you will not be able to make a full bootable copy of ML without purchase.
1) Enable the debug menu for Disk Utility via Terminal Application. Navigate to terminal by typing "terminal" in spotlight. Copy the bolded text below and enter it into the command prompt:
defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool true ; open -a "Disk Utility" ; exit
2) From the Debug Menu > Select Show every Partition > Recovery HD should appear
3) Right click (control + click) the Recovery HD partition and select "Mount"
4) Right click again the partition again > "Reveal Recovery HD in Finder". Leave this window open
5) At this point, you will need open terminal again and enter the following command:
sudo chflags nohidden /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/BaseSystem.dmg ; exit
Type your password when prompted.
6) Navigate back to the Recovery HD finder Window > com.apple.recovery.boot > BaseSystem.dmg
7) Drag "BaseSystem.dmg" into Disk Utility's sidebar.
8) Insert your DVD
9) Select "BaseSystem.dmg" in the sidebar and hit "Burn"
Once the burn is completed, hold option down at startup and select the DVD to boot. This is a bootable Recovery partition, not a bootable copy of ML.
Note: to disable the debug menu,
defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool false

If I back up iMovie projects to an external drive does it take the media with it? I want to free up space and remove pictures that were in iPhoto...that were used as media by iMovie when project was under way. In short I want archive iMovie stuff

If I back up iMovie projects to an external drive does imovie take the media with it? I want to free up space and remove pictures that were in iPhoto...that were used as media by iMovie when project was under way. In short I want archive iMovie stuff. If I pull pics out of iPhoto, and later want to drag an archived projet bac into iMovie and the pics are no longer in iPhoto, will I be able to keep working in the project in iMovie?

Very likely not, as the iPhoto's can be used for something else.
More like it took a copy, or it's referencing that spot on the drive in the editable files and most likely made a copy to create a new permanent export file.
Sample one picture and a iMovie file and see what happens.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

How to resolve unresolved column error when we change column name in BMM Layer and removed alias in presentation layer

Looks like the presentation column got Alias before your BMM changes, so in your case renaming logical column and deleting alias is not good to go.
Keep Alias

Duplicate your book and try to change the theme in the copy. Chnaging the theme may change the layout of your text fileds. That is why you need the copy to be able to compare the pages before and after.
Ctrl-click the book in the Source list and select "Duplicate".
Click the "Change Theme" button in the upper right corner of the Book pane, make sure, you have the same theme selected and the same size. Click Hardcover.

Send the table as an attachment, either a spreadsheet (if the recipient needs to be able to edit it) or a PDF.

It is possible that you have the rotation lock on? Check this:

What would cause imovie to keep quitting. Lately it kept doing it when i was trying to change the text theme on a clip. I just updated to imovie 11. I have a macbook pro with OSX 10.6.8

imovie has been quitting unexpectedly lately.....the latest was when I was trying to change the text theme on a clip. I have two external drives for my events and projects.
Also does imovie 11 only let you use the comic book transitions when you set that as your project theme?

Reset your iPad by holding the home and on/off buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then update your apps one at a time. Do not start the next app until the current one downloads and finishes installing.
