How do you reinstall iMovie when it came pre-installed with the Mac?

Hi,
I was wondering how you reinstall imovie 11 (i think) when the software came pre-installed on the Mac. I purchased my Mac in August 2011 it is the iMac (Mid 2011 model) I am running Lion. No discs came with the Mac for the option to reinstall.
The reason i wish to reinstall it is because it keeps crashing on startup. I load the application and it opens but then after a few moments of loading up the rainbow wheel appears and never goes away, the app then is none responsive and I have to force quite the app.
Any help would be appriciated
Cheers

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?

  • 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

  • How do I re-install software that came pre-installed on my mac?

    How do I re-install software that came pre-installed on my mac?
    I bought my first mac in 2003, in 2004 I bought MS Office: Mac. In 2006 I got another mac, this one (I'm pretty sure but not 100% certain) came with MS Office pre-installed. I'm still using that computer I got in 2006 (writing this message on it right now) and have been having problems with Word and have had no luck with trying to fix it. I recently came across my original installation disk for the version of MS Office I got in 2004. So, when I became frustrated trying to fix Word I just grabbed this old installer and reinstalled office, assuming in that moment that it was the same version I had been using. I got it all installed and working and went to load up my most recent document that I've ben working on and it won't load because it's a docx file. I don't know where else I would have gotten a new version of word, I'm not one for unnecessary updates and updating a word processor is about as unnecessary as it gets. I MUST have had a newer version of word pre-installed on my computer, because any time I've ever tried to open word files from this computer on my older mac the files wouldn't work, so any time I need to do that I either make a PDF or email myself the text.
    Anyway, I'm assuming that apple has all my registration info on file and can confirm that I bought the software, can they provide my an installer? My other concern is that this computer was a christmas gift and was purchased by my dad, though I don't know whose name is on any kind of registration that may exist. The problem here is that he died, so I'm concerned that apple won't support my product because the original "owner" is deceased, even though I don't think he ever so much as laid a finger on this computer or even looked at it more than twice after he gave it to me.
    What is my best course of action here?

    I would have to presume the 2006 Mac was used, and came with Office 2008 on it from the seller. Apple has never offered Office as a bundled purchase, and it is not pre-installed with any Mac.
    Since you have the disk for Office 2004, the activation key should be on a sticker on the CD/DVD sleeve. As I recall, anyway. I no longer have my 2004 copy to check. If you have the key, it doesn't matter who it originally belonged to. You can still enter it and activate the software.
    Once you have that installed, you can install the XML converter for Office 2004. That will allow you to open from all newer Windows and Mac versions of Office. The only things that won't necessarily convert are features that don't exist in Office 2004, and so can't be translated correctly, or at all.
    Microsoft is saying Office 2016 for Mac and Windows should be available for the official release sometime either late summer, or early fall. So hold off purchasing a new version if you can. MS offers to reduced upgrade price for Office. You'd pay full price for Office 2011, and then again for Office 2016.
    And just to note. Office 2008 and Office 2011 work fine in Snow Leopard.

    You can't. You can take a screen cap of it, but the container doesn't allow access to the individual images used in a SWF or FLV.

  • How do i install iWork '09 on another mac when it came pre-installed?

    I recently purchase a Macbook Air and had iWork pre-installed. I bought the family license so now want to add iWork '09 to my other mac, but it requires a serial number. Since i received no disk or anything, i assumed that i just download the trial version then use the same serial as the pre-installed version - but i can't find the serial anywhere??
    Any ideas?

    You should have received an iWork booklet with some stickers on the cover that list your serial number with your machine's original documentation.

  • How do you stop your phone from creating two albums with the same photos after syncing?

    When I first bought my phone I was able to sync my photos by checking the folder I wanted synced under iTunes. This put all those photos on photo library on my phone. I recently added more photos to that folder and tried to sync them it now put them in the photo library album and also created another album with my folder name. So I have two albums with the same photos. I tried in checking that folder in iTunes and of course they're not in my photo library. Please help. I don't want two albums with the same pics

    This is how Apple has always handled photos.  nothing has changed at all.
    Just as your music is in your library and you can access those exact same songs from a playlist, all of your synced pics are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the album name that you chose to sync.

  • How do you fill in one part of a picture with the color from another part in PS CS2?

    I'm making business cards from some of my artwork, and I've had to extend the width of the picture (extended canvas size on either side) to fit the size parameters. Here's the pic.  It's kind of hard to see the white extended edges on the side against this background, but they're there.
    I want to fill in the added canvas with the red background color of the original picture, so how do I do that in CS2?  I've gotten far enough to figure how to take samples of the background color with the sample tool, but I can't figure out how to deposite the color in those areas of added canvas on the sides. And please, I have very, very basic knowledge of this photoshop stuff, so I need instructions for dummies. I can paint anything with a brush, but this stuff is different!
    Thanks for any fyi.

    To get the red colour the Eyedropper tool would do, then fill the areas with the Paint Bucket,  but this would look obvious as the colour would be flat and untextured.
    Instead, use the Clone Stamp tool to pick up your texture and deposit it in the white areas.
    If you work on a new layer you can then blur with the Blur tool any resulting sharp border to the original and then flatten the final image.
    I can think of lots more ways but this is the simplest.
    If the terms in bold type are unfamiliar, look them up in Photoshop Help (Press F1).

  • How do you organize multiple mailboxes for each accepted domain with the same local part?

    Let's say we are aceppting emails for the two domains wine-and-cheese.com and beer-and-pretzels.com.
    I plan to create two mailboxes [email protected] and [email protected]
    By default, the local part of the SMTP address uses the alias, which is the same as the sAMAccountName. Since I cannot have two AD users with the same sAMAccountName, I choose to name them "info-wine" and "info-beer". The result is, that
    I have two mailboxes with the address [email protected] and [email protected], respectively.
    One thing I could think of would be to manually add [email protected] and [email protected] to the corresponding mailboxes. I prefer to avoid anything that has to be done manually.
    Another idea, that involves manual editing is, to change the aliases of both mailboxes to "info", but that results in having the second mailbox create the SMTP address info2@….
    I am very interested how you handle those situations, particularly in bigger companies with more than 50 employees and 75 mailboxes.

    Hi ,
    Alright , based on my knowledge i have given some points please have a look in to this.
    Step 1 :
    Please create the first user account on AD in the below format.
    info as the first name in AD
    wine as the last name in AD
    Then please create the second user account on the AD in the below format.
    info as the first name in AD
    beer as the last name in AD
    Step 2 :
    Then you need to have the email address policy with the custom type attribute which should apply the email address based upon the first name.So that all the email address will have the first name (i.e ) "info" on the prefix.
    Custom type attribute should have to be like
    %[email protected]
    %[email protected]
    %[email protected]
    %[email protected]
    Note : The custom type attribute which is created first will be the primary address for all those mailboxes.In the above example
    @wine.com will be the primary smtp address for those mailboxes .In case if you want some set of mailboxes need to have the suffix @wine.com as the primary smtp address and some set of mailboxes to have the suffix @beer.com as the primary smtp
    address then you need to create the separate email address policy with rules.

  • How do you show multiple products horizontally rather than vertically with the module_productfeaturelist?

    I am trying to have 3 to 4 featured products that share the same tag next to each other rather than stacked.  Is there a way to do this by customizing the "List of Products by Tag" or is there another module I should be using?
    What i am currently getting is this and I would like the side by side instead:
    {module_productfeaturelist,featured,3,Weight,,true}

    Your monitor would need an HDMI connection to hook it to AppleTV.  AppleTV would need to be on the same network as the IMac, presumably wireless if you don't want to run cables.
    You would then need to use Airplay Mirroring, and that requires reasonably modern Macs, see:
    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X
    I don't know for certain but if you set up an automatic powerpoint slideshow you could probably export to an AppleTV compatible movie files, and then play that to AppleTV via iTunes as well, which ought to work with older Macs but video might need to be set to loop or repeat itself a lot.
    If you want to use Airplay Mirroring buthave an old Mac, then AirParrot software has a demo, and some people find this ok.

  • Is there a way to re-download iWork from the app store even though it came pre-installed on my mac before the App store existed?

    I bought my macbook with pages '09 pre-installed. I can find my disk anymore. Keynote and Numbers are working properly, but I want to reinstall pages because I am having a few minor issues with it. If I look at pages in the App Store, it shows that I would have to re-purchase it.

    Short answer, no.
    Fuller answer, the two are not the same and are not interchangeable. Yes, if you want the MAS version, you will need to buy it. But you should be able to hunt down the trial of the disk version out there on the internet, install it and activate it with your serial number. There is a thread somewhere in this forum from last year that has a link. I hunted it down for someone in a similar situation.
    UPDATE -
    I found the thread;
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20238439
    The trial file still appears to be downloadable. This time make sure that you keep backup copies. It may disappear without notice.

  • What Web Cam is compatible with the Mac mini

    Hi everyone,
                  Thinking of buying a Mac mini to use with my Sony TV but I want to connect a web cam also. Does anyone know what web cam works with a Mac mini? Keen to get one but if I cannot find a compatible web cam I don't think I will. I have no wish to buy the apple monitor just for the use of a web cam.

  • How to reinstall windows 8.1 when your computer came pre-installed with windows 8

    Hello, so my current installation of Windows 8.1 has gotten horribly corrupted. Almost everytime I boot up, the computer wants to check for disk errors, so I decided to buy a new disk, and I cloned my previous disk over to the new disk using AOMEI Backupper.
    However, this cloned drive will not boot up. I am thinking that I will have to give in to the inevitable and just re-install my windows 8 installation, but before I do so, where is the product key I will need to activate the installation. I've heard on the
    web that the key resides on the BIOS chip, but then do I need the code to activate the installation? I am also using a windows 8.1 repair disk and my computer came with windows 8, will the code work for both? I have tried booting up from the repair disk, and
    used the fix issues preventing start up feature, but it has done nothing, my computer still will not boot up. When I go to try to refresh my installation, it reports that the disk is locked. Please help, I cannot go back to my old disk, every time I run it,
    more files get corrupt.
