I am not able to update iPhoto, iMovie and garageband on my macbook pro. these three apps came installed with ilife suite.

I am unable to update iphoto, imovie, and Garageband on my Macbook Pro. I understand that these apps are part of ilife suite. Purchased Macbook at Best Buy January 2012. All software is updated. I recieve message asking me to sign into account that I purchased these apps from. I am signed in , however I did not purchase these apps they came on Macbook. I also tried deleting Garageband and re-installing it. Now Garageband says accept but Macbook will not accept. Anyone else have this problem and were you able to resolve it.

The fact that they were preinstalled is why they are supposed to appear in the Purchased pane, in a temporary area labeled Purchases, for you to accept. Not doing so soon after you got the Mac has messed this process up.
To get things back on track properly try these steps;
Updating Pre-installed iLife apps -
1 - Log out and quit iTunes and the Mac App Store (MAS)
2 - Go to System Prefs/Users & Groups/~user/Password and enter the Apple ID connected to your iTunes/Mac App Store account. Close Sys Prefs
3 - Delete /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
4 - Reboot your Mac
5 - Open Mac App Store
6 - Go to the Purchased pane and Accept the three iLife apps. Enter iTunes/MAS username/password if prompted.

HT1557 why am i not able to update itunes 10.6.3 on my MacBook pro, for me to backup my ios7 phone

i have been trying to update itunes 10.6.3 on my MacBook pro, for me to backup my ios7 phone,i keep getting a message saying ( unable to update ), yet its no problem old windows computers, HELP PLEASE.

iTunes 10.6.3 is the latest iTunes version for Mac OS X 10.5.8.
iOS 7 devices require iTunes 11, which needs Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine, buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard from the Apple Online Store, insert the DVD and upgrade.
After upgrading, you can download 10.6.8 from the Apple website or just from Software Update. Then, if you want, you can upgrade to OS X Mavericks for free from the App Store

HT1338 After upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion I cannot update iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand

Hi all
On my iMac 27 (2011) I see that these updates are available but clicking on "Update all" gives me the error message "These apps cannot be accepted on this computer. Future updates will be available through "Software Updates"" Any idea?
I can, however, download apps from the app store. That works.
Appreciate your ideas.

You need to contact Apple and transfer that computer, the serial number, into your name and your Apple ID. Then you should be able to update the included Apple Apps from the App store. No need to Re-buy them again.
Caveat to the above.
If your Mac did not originally come with Lion Preinstalled, early releases of early 2011 models and older, and originally had Snow Leopard installed the original owner should of supplied the Mac OS X System Discs with the system. If that person didn't you should order them from Apple at a small fee, and don't lose them.

Was a pleasant surprise to have iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand updated free

Not a question, more thinking out loud...I got a Macbook Pro at Christmas and when I read that the Mac App Store would be open on 7 January, I thought that my iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand would already be out of date. I was pleasantly surprised that the software update seemed to update these 3 automatically, so I'm now running the '11 versions. I thought I would have to pay for an upgrade if I wanted the newest versions!

Possibly...but I noticed that when the software update was occurring, it was updating one of either iMovie or iPhoto, so I assume all 3 were updated. Anyway it was nice - I'm used to having to pay for every program upgrade!

Hi. I am not able to update the Adobe Flash Player on my MackBook Pro. The problem I am getting is a blank page for Step3. Can someone help please?

If you already have an older version of Flash Player, open the Preference pane and select Check Now... under the Update portion under the General tab:
You shouldn't have to install a new version from the website (I'm not even sure if you can) if you've already installed Flash Player.

I have a pre-installed OS-X Mountain Lion Mac book air(2012). I upgrade OS-X Mavericks.
After the upgrade i lost my iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand and so on ....
I checked my purchased from app store. But i can not see anything.
When I want to install from app store, it wants me to pay for them.
By the way I have no any backup for OS-X Mountain Lion.
How can I have these aplication on to OS-X Mavericks without paying?
Also, can I return back to OS-X Mountain Lion and How?

You should be able to install your iLife applications from the App Store. This Apple Knowledge Base article has the directions.
OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion If you reinstall Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion installed, on an erased or replaced hard drive, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.After installation, start from Lion.
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.

I used to be able to watch net flux and hulu on my macbook pro not it the sites will not open, what is wrong?

What happens when you try?
Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.
Safe Mode - Mavericks also Yosemite

I am not able to update iMovie to my macbook pro late 2011 which came bundled with it.

It shows that imovie update is available in the update tab, but it doesn't show in the purchased tab. iLife '11 came bundled with my Macbook Pro but when I try to update iMovie, it tells me to sign in with the apple id that I purchased it with. I have no other apple ID. Sometimes it tells me that I had to have purchased it from the app store first before I can update it. What's the solution to this problem, please. iPhoto updated with no problem. There was no update for Garage Band so I don't know if that will be a problem when an update is available. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply but that didn't work for me. The trouble was imovie wasn't showing up in my purchases even though it was saying I needed an update because it was installed on my computer. I finally contacted the itunes app store. I was told that the imovie app shows up as a purchase for my apple ID. I had to delete it from my applications folder, then repurchase it. That worked. Apple refunded the money to my card once I provided the order number to them. All is well, now.
