How do I update iMovie from 08 to 11 without having to pay for 11 at the app store?

I have a pretty old Mac laptop, probably 1st or 2nd generation and I had to bring it to an Apple store for them to upgrade my operating system. Now my Mac version is 10.6.8 and I'm still using old programs on it like iPhoto 08 and iMovie 08. When I open up up iMovie, a message always comes up about iLife 11 which I would like to download as a whole so I can use the updated programs but I can not find the webpage where I can easily download iLife. All I really want is to upgrade iMoive from 08 to 11 but the only option I'm getting is to buy the app for about $15 from the app store. I already have iMovie and I shouldn't have to pay for the same app which just an updated version. Can someone show me step by step where to go and how to get the update for iMovie 11 or iLife 11 alltogether?

You have to pay because iLife is only free when you buy a new Mac. Its not part of the operating system.
$15 is a bargain for what you get.

HT3209 How can I redeem my digtal copies from my cloud without having to pay for it?

How can i redeem my digital copies from my cloud without having to pay for it? I bought Disney's Frozen and it came with the Frozen and The Incredibles digital copy which i have in my cloud but they wont let me download it keeps trying to charge me almost $15 per movie

What do you mean 'redeem my digital copies from my cloud' ? Have you already redeemed the codes onto your account, are you looking to redeem the codes, or are you wanting to reddownload the films ?
If you haven't already redeemed them, and they are iTunes codes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1574
If you are wanting to redownload them, then if you can do so then they will show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad for redownloading.

The iLife that came with your MacBook is on the #2 gray disk that came with the MacBook.
The App Store version of iLife ‘11 programs will only work with 10.7 or 10.8. You can get the iLife ’11 DVD which will run on 10.6 on eBay or Amazon.com fairly cheap.

I have FCPX 10.0.0 I'm trying to install updates. It's not allowing me to do this. The App Store says I did not buy the FCPX from the App store. Which I did. Can anyone help me figure out how to update my FCPX?

Hi , a similar thing happened to me with another piece of software .. it was then that I realized I have two accounts .. I have no recollection of setting up two but it seems I did somewhere along the line.. I have jimkells and the second is [email protected] .. so when I logged in as the other acc there it was and I was able to update .. could it be FCPX was bought on another user account ??

I recently had my computer stolen and not my purchases from I tunes store were backed up. I've been told there is a way that I can re-download my missing tracks from the store without having to pay for them again. Is this true, if so, how do go about it.

Unfortunately, redownloading of past music purchases isa still in beta test and only available in the US right now.
It's due for everyone this fall. Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If you can't wait, contact the iTunes Store Support Team at this link
If you get lucky, they may be able to authorize another download now.

You purchased it directly from Amazon, not the App Store? It was a downloadable application, or one that came on physical install DVDs?

I had iPhoto as part of iLife 11. I recently did an erase and install on my Macbook Air and without a CD drive I'm unable to reinstall. How can I install without having to repurchase all of the apps?

Do you have access to another Mac with a disk drive? If so you can do it in one of two ways:
1 - on the Mac with the optical drive launch Disk Utility and make a disk image of the iLife 11 disk. Connect the two Macs together and transfer the disk image to your MacBook Air. Mount the disk image and install from it. I have my iLife disks saved that way for quick and easy reinstall when necessary.
2 - connect the two Mac together so you can access the MBA from the Mac with the disk drive. Insert the iLife disk, and install from the second Mac to the MBA.

I've lost all my music since my last computer died. How do I get that music back without having to pay for it? I read somewhere that there is a "form to request to download iTunes purchases again", is this true?

Media should be included with the backup of the computer that all users should be creating on a regular basis as part of basic computer/data maintenance.
In the event that you do not have a backup (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files)
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content. They are not required to provide this opportunity.
It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes. On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer. Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.

HT1727 i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?

If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

There are no free ways to do it that I have seen. However, Reflector is reasonably priced. http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Open a Finder window, select Applications in the sidebar and look for iMovie. Make sure there are no external disks connected, and if so, disconnect them, open the App Store and install iMovie.
You can also use Spotlight to look for iMovie, so press Command and Space keys and type iMovie

Hi Baem_leeds
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.
The links below will provide additional information:
