I am trying to update iMovie to version 9.0.8
Hi
I am trying to complete the update to iMovie version 9.0.8 on Mountain Lion.
The problem is that in my country the available bandwidth is not good and the download from the App Store is so slow that the download takes 16 to 20 hours.
When the download reaches the high 90% mark the Appstore reports that the downbload has failed and I have to start all over again.
This has happened three times now, and I have given up on the App store.
I navigated to the Apple Download site and downloaded the file without any problems. Like we all used to do prior to Mointain Lion.
It took approx 8 hours but it downloaded fine.
The problem is when I try and install the app from this file I get the following error.
Alert
The version of iMovie installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available.
Question: Please tell me there is a way to overcome this Alert and force the file to install.
The use of the App Store for updates to the MAC on Mountain Lion is a disaster in my opinion.
More often than not the App Store insists that new updates are available despite the fact that you have just completed installing the very same updated versions.
I hope someone at Apple is listening bercause this new method of update delivery is not working for a lot of people.
I am strongly considering reverting back to Lion, as this
This may help, it allows you to reset the application, it also may be worth clearing out the app store cache and temp files.

To contact Apple use the feedback form, this is a user forum and I don't think they will respond here.

I am trying to update an old version of itunes, my computer says it took place, but when I try to sync my daughters new ipod it says a newer version if itunes is required?
In iTunes, look at Help/About iTunes and as the screen rolls up, check for the version number. Ignore the bit that says iTunes 10 in massive bold lettering, wait for the smaller text to appear as the it rolls up. The latest version (on 15th April 2012) is iTunes 10.6.1.7 and the text you should see will simply state iTunes 10.6.1.7. Underneath that will be "gumpf" about copyright etc.
If your iTunes does not say this, then something must have gone wrong with the update you did. How did you do it? The usual way is to simply select (in your iTunes), Help/Check for Updates. In my case, the return message I see states This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version. The alternative message will state something like "there is a later version of iTunes available, do you wish to download it" or similar. Selecting "Yes" would begin the download and if you leave it to run itself, the update should take effect, providing you don't stop it or (I guess) keep iTunes so busy it cannot run the update. It may need to close and re-open before the change takes effect.
At a guess, the reason your daughter's iPod is saying it requires a newer version of itunes is either because you've just bought it, and you have a fairly old version of iTunes - AH!, that may be the problem. >>
>> If the version of iTunes you had installed was very old, then the update may have updated to something other than the latest version. So even if the update has taken place, if it only updated from, for example, iTunes 8 to iTunes 9, then it may need a further update to get to version 10 or to 10.6.1. So for you, now, check after update for the version your iTunes thinks it is until it states iTunes 10.6.1.7.
Alternatively, if your daughter's iPod has been Synced with another computer (with a later version of iTunes than yours, even by one increment), then that would cause then issue you currently have, because her iPod will now only want to work the the latest version it has previously done business with, not your old version.
Note; the current version of iTunes as I've stated it, may change any day. Apple do not announce when updates will be released. Uisng Help/Check for Updates and seeing the return message This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version is the only sure way of telling that you are up to date.
Additional note; gumpf = slang for "random junk".
Let us know how you get on. -

I tried to update to newest version via pc. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase so it says, but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes anymore and is stuck on a screen displaying an itunes icon with a usb icon.
oke i'm not done with the whole thing, but i'm doing that right now. Most of the advice I've already read didn't work and at a certain point it said something about shutting down programs then restart. but i notice that there are some pretty important system things in that list and i don't want to mess up my pc :s i'm not a pc genius... and because i'm dutch and my pc-language is in dutch I often have trouble translating and well... i don't always understand the technical stuff in all the articles -_-

I am running Windows 7 home edition and trying to update to iTunes version 10.5 (from version 10.3.1.55) and I keep getting the following error message, ‘Error occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually’ which I do only to have the same error message pop up.
Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

I am trying to update an ipod version 2.2 with itunes but I keep getting an error (-1). Is this an hardware issue according to Apple and if so is there any way to fix this.?
Error 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
If you disabled yuor computer's security software then that indicates a hardware problem,
I would say it is not workth fixint your old. likely a 1G. iPOd. -
The trouble started when I tried to update my software version....
I am still very new to all the iPods. I have a Nano that I haven't had trouble using with iTunes. Now I recently bought a Touch and am very confused using it with iTunes. From what I read I can have both the Nano and Touch on the same iTunes account. If that isn't correct please let me know.
My trouble right now started when I tried to update the software version. When I try to, a message pops up telling me there are items on there that have not been transferred to my iTunes library and that I should do that before updating. So, I went to File and tried to transfer purchases. Another message popped up telling me items purchased could not be transferred because I am not authorized for them on this computer (same computer we have always used for the Nano). So, I then went to Store and clicked Authorize this computer and got the message that it is already authorized.
Now I have no idea what to do.- Yes you can sync more than one iDevice to a single computer and iTunes library.
- Try deauthorizing and then authorizing the computer.
- You are authorizing the computer for the account(s) used on the iPod, right?
- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. -

I had deleted my Apps Icon from the phone as I was trying to update the new version iOS4.3.
However, after deleteing the Icon, I am not able to install the Apps Messenger again because I am not able to use the IOS.4.3 diagnostic password sent via email.
Installation was rejected because I need the iOS.4.3
Thanks for your help
MichaelThat situation went from inconvenient to complicated quickly. Wait for any pending orders to drop off, wait for things to clear up, wait till your upgrade comes up and then upgrade when your contract is fulfilled. I would have suggested a replacement phone, I know, with only a month left why couldn't you just upgrade early, but these situations where people try to upgrade early always end horribly and once a phone order starts, it almost cannot finish until something winds up shipped received and returned. Sorry this happened the way it did. Definitely not efficient.

my itunes id is blocked by apple because of an internal problem trying to update the itunes version, apple support is not helping at all and I need to update all my application. Is anybody you had this problem before? and how did they help? thanks
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
