I uninstalled garage band which was preinstalled on my mac, how do I reinstall it?

Garage band came preinstalled on my mac book air and I uninstalled it for space on my start up disk. Now I cant reinstall it without paying, is this right? I might be on a different apple ID as I was given the mac by family who didnt want ti anymore. wouldI need their log in to redeem this?

Check the "Purchased" tab of the AppStore, if GarageBand is listed with an "Accept" button beside it. If you see "Accept", the previous owner did not yet associate it with hero his Apple ID, and you can accept it for yourself. If GarageBand, iMove, iPhoto do not show there, only the previous owner can install or update the apps for you, using the AppleID that has been used to accept the apps.
In that case, your family members will have to download the apps again for you. Otherwise you have to buy them again from the main "Featured" page of the AppStore, after signing in with your own AppleID.

How do i uninstall iphoto? it was preinstalled on my macbook pro when I bought it used and I can only update with the previous owners password.

how do i uninstall iphoto? it was preinstalled on my macbook pro when I bought it used and I can only update with the previous owners password.

Do you have the current MacOS X version 10.10.2?
Then you can simply move iPhoto from the Applications folder to the Trash,
sign into the App Store with your own AppleID
reload the "Featured" main page of the AppStore with ⌘R,
then download iPhoto with your own AppleID.
Make a backup of your iPhoto Library, before your launch the new iPhoto the first time,
If your current system is not Yosemite, you can only buy a boxed iLife 11 version of iPhoto to install it independent of the previous owner.

I am new to Garage Band and was previously using sound forge on my PC to edit music for my Figure Skating students. Is there a basic tutorial I can read to get started, nothing seems the same.

I am new to Mac and Garage Band and was wondering if I can use this program to edit existing tracks downloaded from i-tunes etc. Is there a basic tutorial to get me started? I edit music for figure skaters so it is relatively basic, fading in/out, cutting and pasting etc.

use an automation curve for this, open GB's help and search for "curve"

Since upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto, iMovie and Garage band has simply disappeared from my Mac. HELP!?

Hi Jdireen,
As someone who uses the iLife applications on a daily basis on my Mac I can understand how it would be upsetting to have them disappear suddenly. Let's see if we can get you back up and running.
You can download the applications again and reinstall them from the Mac App Store -
GarageBand - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/garageband/id682658836?mt=12
iMovie - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/imovie/id408981434?mt=12
iPhoto - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iphoto/id408981381?mt=12
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I installed Nik:s suite of plug-ins for LR5 but for some reason not all of them were installed. In the end I uninstalled all of the Nik programs from my Mac but before I reinstalled them I opened LR5 again to check. Under "photo" and "edit in" the plug-in

I installed Nik:s suite of plug-ins for LR5 but for some reason not all of them were installed. In the end I uninstalled all of the Nik programs from my Mac but before I reinstalled them I opened LR5 again to check. Under "photo" and "edit in" the plug-ins were still presented but no programs opened, of course. after reinstalling the plug-ins one of the programs appeared twice in the list but not the others. I´m going to reinstall them again and I´m wondering if there is anyway of erasing the links to the plug-ins under "photo" and "edit in" ???

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

Crucial M4 SSD MBP "There was a problem installing Mac OS X" Try Reinstalling

So I have an extra ssd. I decide to put it in my MPB mid or late 2009 to give it some extra life.
I am doing a fresh install from a thumb drive. The macbook find the partition and boots into the installer. about 10 seconds into progress bar this appears: "There was a problem installing mac os x" Try reinstalling.
The progress bar goes away.
The thumb drive is good... it installed on my mother's laptop just fine.
I have the ssd in the place of the old Hdd until my adapter comes around to put one of them in the opti bay.
Does anyone have any ideas or has seen this before?

I forgot to mention a fresh mountain lion install. The M4 has latest firmware as of today.

Uninstall garage band to save memory

How do I uninstall large apps like garage band on my MacBook air?

Hello there vivifrance,
It sounds like you want to remove some applications from your computer. In general you can uninstall applications using the following article:
OS X Mavericks: Install, update, and uninstall apps
Uninstall apps
To uninstall apps you purchased from the Mac App Store, hold down an app’s icon in Launchpad until all the icons begin to jiggle. Click an app’s delete button (x).If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, it can’t be uninstalled. For example, apps that come with OS X can’t be uninstalled.
To uninstall other apps, drag the app to the Trash (located at the end of the Dock), then choose Finder > Empty Trash.If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, select the app in the Trash, then choose File > Put Back.
Warning: When you empty the Trash, the app is permanently removed from your Mac. If you have any files that you created with the app, you may not be able to open them.
Some apps like Garageband and its Loops also store files elsewhere that can also take up a lot of space. Here is how to find and delete the Garageband Loops from your computer as well:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Garage Band 4.1.2 on Power Mac G4 messed up

I had problems trying to change the tempo of the song, it always froze. So I tried to replace my Garage Band 4.1.2 with the same from my laptop that is an Intel one though. I guess that messed it up completely. Even if it doesn't show anything or doesn't tell that architectural thing it would start and freeze right up not loading the play button bar.
Is there any patch for it I can download from Apple or third party that would enable it to run on a G4 Power Mac/10.5.8 ?
Thanks
bafomet

It was hard trying to find anything on 4,1.2 for me. Everything was GB1 or 3 at best . There is a cd that's out there but no one carry's it in my town. One good way to go about it is watch all the tutorials & in apple seminars there are 3 videos totalling about 45 minutes of info. With that you will be able to get started & any Q's you have will be answered in this forum ,also check out http://www.bulletsandbones.com/index.html ---

Followed the instructions in "the bookmarks and history..." article but cannot retrieve my bookmarks. Initial problem was caused by an AVG Free upgrade which was done this morning. How do I get my "stuff" back?

Upgraded AVG Free this morning. Next Firefox opening got the message "bookmarks and history system will not be functional" etc.
Followed the instructions in the article but no recovery occurred. Then spent 45 minutes on the phone with AVG, ending with them suggesting I re-install Firefox which I did (probably not wise). Still can't get back to where I was yesterday when I was a happy camper. How can I do that?

No, AVG did not remove places.sqlite from the profile. In following the instructions given by Firefox I renamed that file by adding .old. The instructions then told me to re-open Firefox, and that when it reopened "it would create a new places database. Your browsing history will be lost but Firefox will automatically import your bookmarks from the most recent backup file." This DID NOT happen. I have not yet tried the steps in the "Lost Bookmarks" article.
Yes, the folder "bookmarkbackups" is still in the profile folder, and time-wise it predates me renaming the places file.
I do not know whether it is possible to set AVG to ignore certain directions?

How to make garage band updated after re-imaging your Mac Book Pro

ONE SIMPLE THING FOLKS!
1. MOVE YOUR GARAGE BAND TO THE TRASH
2. GO TO APP STORE AND RE-DOWNLOAD GARAGE BAND
3. START IT UP- YOU WILL GET THE SAME UPDATE 1.6 GIG THING
4. DOWNLOAD IT
5. THIS TIME IT WORKS AND YOUR GARAGE BAND STARTS UP NO PROBLEM
THAT'S IT!!!

My MBP (15", early 2009 model, 8GB RAM, 1TB internal drive) showed in Software Update as not needing any other updates, and I downloaded from Apple's site directly and installed iTunes 11.1.5 rather than doing it via Software Update (I've had some glitches with the 'direct' install from SU in the past, so I manually download updates from Apple's support website instead).
Hoping Apple will figure out what's wrong with this version under 10.6.8...

How can I put garage band on my iPad from my Mac book pro

I have garage band on my Mac book pro can I put it on my new ipad

No. Mac programs are built for a different OS and hardware platform. You can buy an iOS version of GarageBand, iMovie, or iPhoto.

Garage Band installed but also available in Mac App Store

I have Garage Band installed on my Mac, however it is also availabe to purchase and download on the Mac App Store.
Why is this so?
What will happen if I download it? Will it install a duplicate?

Maybe the one in the App store is the new version. Your PNG did not work for some reason.

When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first update the application; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. I have not renamed or moved iPhoto which was preinstalled. How to solve?

When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first download the update; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. Stuck in a classis Catch-22 - any ideas how I might solve the problem?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

How can I uninstall Garage Band extras?

I installed the additional stuff that comes in the Installation DVD's but I don't think I need it. How can I get rid of all those extra files? Where are they located? Can I just delete them?

The installation DVD's has some more loops and instruments I think that it can install that take like a 1 extra Gb. As all the additional stuff didn't really help much I want to recover that space. I wanted to know if that could be uninstalled in a safe way and leave GB as it was before(normal installation).
