    You might try resetting the App Store application and clear the cookies via this menu:

  • Can't update iPhoto: message says it was "bought by a different user or refunded or cancelled." None of that is true. Can't buy it, either.

    I've been trying to update my iPhoto because my old version (9.3.2) no longer works now that I've updated my OS to Mavericks (10.9.2). When I try to update, I get the message that I can't because iPhoto was purchase by some other user or was refunded or cancelled. I don't know how this could be--this was a new computer that I got through work that came loaded with iPhoto already. I figured that I would just buy iPhoto again and load it up, but the Apple Store will only show me the option to UPDATE and not BUY, so I am stuck in this loop.

    You must log in using the Apple ID that was used to set up the compter (or purchase the application if it was purchased later)
    If that is not working then you must contact App store suport - link is on the right of the App store window

  • How can i update iPhoto, if it was  purchased  by other apple id account?

    hello, i want to upgarde OS X Maverics but  after some dowloading, it quits because of error and table under it shows incompactible files- iphoto. I neeed new version of iPhoto, but problem is, that iphoto was purchased under my husb apple id, and i can't update it. Any soliution?

    You need to sign into the AppStore with the Apple ID used to buy the software. If your husband does not remember the password, it can be reset by him at the MyAppleID page.

  • I can't update iPhoto, GarageBand nor iMovie, and I can't open iPhoto at all.

    I can't update iPhoto, GarageBand nor iMovie, and iPhoto is the only one I can't open at all. I bought my Macbook half a year ago and when I try to update the Apps it says it's being modified and then that there was an error with Apple Store ):

    There is an issue with update servers today, so you'll have to wait anyway.

  • Unable to update iPhoto it says I'm signed in as another user. I have tried two apple ids but neither of them work..

    You need to contact App Store support. They are the only people who can help with account issues.

  • When i try to update iPhoto, it says sign in to the account you used to purchase it

    when i try to update iPhoto, it says sign in to the account you used to purchase it and does not update. what can i do?

    Did you buy this machine used or "open box" by any chance?
    The free iLife suite is tied to the AppStore now and copy protected, so if OS X was wiped off the drive and iLife reinstalled from AppStore, it's registered to the person owning the AppleID that installed it.
    Even if the machine gets transfered to a new owner and had a copy of free iLife like other software Apple bundles with OS X,  it can't be updated without the original AppleID.
    Surprising Steve Jobs said that copy protection won't work when dealing with the music labels, but on the other hand copy protects everything on AppStore instead of by developer choice instead.
    There is certainly a case for copy protection in certain cases, but no to the point it's on everything and becomes a problem for everyone.
    Your solution to this problem is either use the original AppleID or delete iPhoto and purchase it from AppStore with your AppleID.
    Your pictures are stored it the Pictures/iPhoto Library and will remain if you delete the program.
    If you wish not to use iPhoto, and need to get your pictures out, right click on the iPhoto Library and "show package contents" ot get to the Origianls folder.
    Good Luck

  • I can't update iPhoto and i movie i photo and i movie the message appear message appear

    i can't update iPhoto and i movie i photo and i movie the message appears
    These apps cannot be accepted by your Apple ID.
    These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the applications.
    please help me to fix this problem
    Thanks
    Krishna.

    You need to either delete and buy them, or get whoever holds that Apple ID to tell Apple to release them. On a Mac, deleting the applications won't affect their data, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • I recently updated to Mavericks.  I can't update iPhoto.  It states that I need the original apple ID when the computer was purchased?

    I can't update iPhoto or iMovie after upgrading to Mavericks.  It stated that the Apple ID and password were not the same that were used to purchase the software?

    The Andyman,
    are you the original purchaser of your MacBook Pro? Have you associated your MacBook Pro with the same Apple ID which you’d used to purchase iPhoto and iMovie?

  • I can't update iPhoto 9.4.1 to 9.4.3.  Every time I click update, it tells me to sign in to the account I used to purchase it but it was preinstalled.  Please help!!!

    They are updated through the Software Update facility, not the Mac App Store.
    Thanks for popping in....
    My iLife apps are all from retail install disks predating Lion/ML; I am running 10.8.4 and as soon as I choose Software Update from the menu, the app store 'Updates" window opens with "checking for updates". I believe that behavior (SU being directed to MAS) was changed with ML?

  • Can't update iPhoto after loading yosemite

    Uploaded Yosemite and can't update iPhoto.  message is that the app was bought by another user or cancelled.  Not true.  What should I do?

    In that case you need a redeem code for iPhoto from the App Store to be able to update.
    Obviously you contact App store support - link is on the right of the App store window

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

    Hi,
    Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID > View Apple ID > enter your password > set Country/Region to US if your account was created in the US.
    Hope that helps.
