I can't update imovie since i changed my apple account

Few months back I changed my apple account in my macbook pro (mid 2012). Since then I haven't been able to update imovie. When I updated last, the one with the yellow icon was not replaced by the one with a blue icon and I had both of them at the same time. I tried deleting the one with the blue icon but the problem was still not solved.
Please inform me if deleting the other one will solve my problem or if there is any other solution to my problem. I would prefer if I don't have to format my mac or delete anything else.
Please help.
Thank you in advance.

You can certainly delete any app you don't want on your computer. No reason to keep two copies Unless you want to (read on...).
All purchases from Apple are forever tied to the Apple ID used to buy or download them. To update apps purchased with the previous Apple ID, you first need to log in to to the Mac App Store with that Apple ID.
you should, however, be aware that the older version of iMovie (versions, 7, 9, etc) were left in your App folder on purpose for backwards compatibility. These versions are not being updated, but rather supplanted, by iMovie 10.

I can't update iMovie, just to clear the red spot on the menu bar since I don't use it, update says I need to purchase but I have iMovie 9.0.4 and update is 9.0.6, do I need to purchase?

You are confusing two different versions of the iMovie app. You have downloaded an update to the boxed version that Apple sold in the past. Yoi cannot update the version that Apple now sells in the Mac App Store with that update.

Jimmyalford,
I am having the same exact problem that you describe. Can't figure it out. I've got a really high speed signal, too. No luck.
GeeD, I do not have macKeeper installed. And I am running iMovie 10.0.2.
I hope someone can shed some light on this.
Thanks all....

What in particular didn't you like about Firefox 6?
You can undo a lot of changes, either via changing settings or prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page or via extensions.

Do a clean reinstall of the version that you want to use.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
*Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I really want to update my iMovie, but I guess I need to update a lot of things first, which costs a lot of money. Is there any way I can just update iMovie and nothing else?

- If you have a 1G ipod you can't update past 3.1.3. To identify yourd see:
Identifying iPod models
- Be aware that if you can/do update the iOS to the latest (4.2.1 for a 2G and 4.3.4 for a 3G) you may not be able to sync to the old computer since that computer will need the latest iTunes to see/sync with the update iPod. Yo need an Max with at least OSX 10.5.8.
You can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPod to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You can use on of the third-party programs dicussed here to transfer other stuff:
new PC: Apple Support Communities
Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file to the new computer you will loose all app data and restore from that backup. That file is located:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

Relocate iOS device backups
Assuming you're running Windows Vista or later you can use the following steps:
Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up.
To move the current backup folder from C: to D: type in this command (on one line) and press <Enter>
Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
Where <User> is your Windows user name.
To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command (on one line) and press <Enter>
MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
If your target drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
In some cases (perhaps depending on what builds of iTunes were installed in the past) it seems the folder is in the \Local\ branch of AppData rather than \Roaming\ in which case edit to suit.
If you're still running Windows XP you can use Junction (cmd line tool) or NTFSLink (shell ext). In both cases you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then use the tools to get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.
Note that while this method works for iOS device backups it cannot be used to redirect sections of the media library.
If your iTunes library is on the C:\ drive with the media folder held elsewhere then see also make a split library portable.

Since i change my new account in apple id , evevrytime i update it keeps showing and askingthe old account.

since i change my new account in apple id , everytime i update it keeps showing and asking the old account.

Not knowing what yo are updating maybe this:
- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

I changed my Apple account and still can't update my applications

I changed my apple id and can't update my applications as my old apple ID is still appear once I'm trying to update it

Your apps are actually tagged with whatever ID you used when you first downloaded them. That ID will be the only one that can update the app because it is the one that "purchased" the app. You can always reset the password for the old ID using iforgot.apple.com if needed.
Free apps can also be deleted and then downloaded using the new ID if you won't lose too much data. Downloading the app again using the new ID will add the app to the purchase history of your new ID so you can update it using that password from now on.

Running Mavericks but can't update iMovie 9.0x-9.09

I went from 10.6.8 -> Mavericks and was running iMovie 9.04- I think the imovie 9.09 update was for Lion so it was never offered as an update.
The less said about the new version of iMovie the better, but it won't let me run on two screens... big fail.
I am using 9.04, and it finds the 9.09 update, but directs to the app store, but the App store doesn't offer it as an update. I manually downloaded the update but it won't run as it tells me I have a newer version, sigh...
I can't find anything obvious in the receipts folder to try and rmove to trick it.
Any ideas how I can successfully update imovie 9.04-9.09 please?

I just ran into the same problem. I've tried to like the new iMovie, but keep going back to 9.04 -- and would like to update to 9.09 (as all the prompts from Apple keep suggesting), but have run into exactly the same issue. Anyone out there with a resolution?

You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).

First, open System Preferences > MobileMe and log out. Then, open  > About this Mac and see Version. If you see 10.5.x or 10.6.x, see > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If your Mac is compatible, upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.

HT5622 How can i update my apps when someone elses Apple id is requested?

How can I update my apps when someone elses Apple ID is requested and the person no longer has their iphone or remembers their password?

If someone else's Apple ID comes up when trying to update an app it means that that app was downloaded or purchased under that Apple ID and not yours. Apps are always associated with the ID used to download or purchase them the first time.
To avoid this from happening in the future delete that apps purchased under the other ID and download or purchase them with your ID.
