ILife apps

After data migration from MBP (early 2007) to current MBP (late 2013)  I have 3 versions of iMovie.  v8,v9, and v10.2.  Should I keep all  three?  I don't use it very often, but from other threads it seems  people prefer the earlier versions.  Should I just move them into a new  folder for older versions of apps?  When I open an iMovie file from  Finder some of the iMovie projects/files open in v9 and some in v10,  even though all of the projects are available in v10.   All  3 versions of iMovie show up in Launchpad. 
I  have two versions of Pages also.  Only v5 shows up in Launchpad, but if I  try to open a document from v5 that was created in v4 it tells me the  file can't be opened.  If I open v4 I can open the file.  When I open v4  I get the update to v5 prompt.
I just want to get to the files from one version. 

Some people prefer to hold onto these old version. 
As you see older version needed for older files.

  • How can I reset my MacBook Air to factory settings that will delete all 3rd party apps and wont delete my data and iLife apps?, How can I reset my MacBook Air to factory settings that will delete all 3rd party apps and wont delete my data and iLife apps?

    I gave my MacBook Air to a person to use for a while, and now I got it back. I want it to be good as new before I start using it properly. Its okay if I lose data but I dont want to lose the Apps that were onboard. I want to start all over again.
    Thanks

    Assuming you don't have a Time Machine backup before you lent your MacBook out, then you've a few choices.
    If you want to set it back to the day you got it, then if it's Snow Leopard, use the micro USB stick that came with your Mac and after boot from it ( hold the Option key on startup) select the USB stick and when booted from it, go to Disk Utility and reformat the HD then install SL. when it's done and started in 10.6, select the install Applications from the USB stick, then your back with iLife apps etc.
    If Lion, restart from the Recovery Partition as per the instructions above except you don't need anything plugged into the Mac, select Recovery and again DU erase and install Lion. once Lion is installed the iLife apps will be available to download from the App store as your MacBook will be recognised as coming with these apps.
    WARNING, both these methods remove ALL user data

  • I've reinstalled my MacBook Pro (OSX Lion) using a different apple ID, and now I can't install any iLife apps. In the app store it comes up with "Accept" and then tells me It can't accept from my user ID. How can I fix this or get iLife back?

    Mostly explained in the title. My dad gave me his MacBook, and I went ahead and wiped all of his stuff by using the recovery partition to wipe/reinstall OSX Lion. In the setup I used a new apple ID and now I can't get iLife apps. I'm relatively new to how apple works its purchases, so I'm not sure what's up. Is it that my computer has a unique ID set to the first apple ID used on it, and if so, how can I get this reset to my ID? I'm planning to get an iPhone 5 soon so I'd like to be able to use photo stream with iPhoto and try out Guitar Band.
    Any help is much appreciated.

  • I cannot found iLife app on my macbook pro and when i want to buying it i cannot and i have this massage (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 P)

    i cannot found iLife app on my macbook pro and when i want to buying it i cannot and i have this massage (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 AppleID and want to receive future updates, you will needto purchase the applications ) what i want to do now ? please tell me

    Either use the Apple ID you used when you originally purchased the applications or you will have to purchase them using your Apple ID. If you did not have the other Apple ID, then you have the applications illegally or they were improperly included with a computer you purchased from someone else.

  • How do I move iLife apps from one iMac to another?

    Hi,
    So I have a mid 2010 iMac that came with iLife '11.  The programs came pre downloaded on my iMac and I can't find a disc anywhere if it came with the computer.  I just purchased a new Late 2013 iMac only to find it doesn't have any iLife apps on it.  I would love to have these programs as I already do on the other iMac.  I tried dragging iDVD to my external and transferring, which seemed to work, only iDVD won't actually create a new project.... I haven't tried any of the other programs yet (Garage Band, iMovie, iPhoto) as I want to know for sure how to successfully do this.  As I stated, I did not purchase iLife from the internet, so I cannot just redownload to the new iMac.  If you know how to do this, if you could give me a detailed breakdown of why I need to do it would be much appreciated, thank you! (also not sure if I posted in the right community...)

    All new Macs include the  iLife apps, except for iDvd which Apple discontinued some time ago. You will need to go to the Mac App Store, sign it with your Apple ID and you will be given the option to accept and download the iLife apps.
    As for moving iDVD, I've never had to do that, had it on a disk so I've always been able to copy it. You might be able to use migration assistant, not sure if you can specify only one app to move with it. Searching the new brings up some other possibilities.
    So basically apart from iDVD you do have all the new iLife apps. You just need to get them from the Mac App Store.

  • Free iLife Apps Problem?

    Ok so I bought my iPod Touch 5g on September 11, 2013 brand new.  When Apple announced there giving away of iLife apps if you buy a new Apple product, I checked the app store to see if they were free.  They were free....i was very excited.  Since then my iPod had a hardware problem and I exchanged it for a refurbished one today.  When I went back to see if they were free today, they were not.  Is there any way Apple can give them to me for free if I have my original receipt.  I really want these apps and am dissapointed that they are no longer free. Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you tried redownloading them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you can't then contact iTunes:

  • On a new imac how much of the HDD is already used with the OS,iLife,apps..

    Looking to buy my 1st ever iMac, the one Im going to get is the base one, with 250Gb HDD (I may upgrade to 320Gb for UK £29 though)
    My question is how much of the HDD is already used by OS X and everything on it? I understand there is some free trial stuff onthat can be installed eg MS Office, iWork etc I would want these removed as wouldnt want them so how much is left before you start adding your own stuff
    I also want to install Win XP on it so need to know what to do, 250Gb in todays computing is very stingy I think, so I need an idea
    cheers

    Here's are some disk usage information from my 20" white C2D. The numbers
    are running totals that include periodic software updates and some of my own
    stuff -- but that would be less than 0.5 GB of the final total.
    OS-X with "no optional packages" is a very usable system; it includes 'core'
    applications such as Safari, iTunes, Quicktime. It does not include any of the
    iLife apps or the iWork/MS_Office test-drive bloatwares.
    The large increase in disk usage for a minimum Leopard system is partly due
    to the inclusion of more apps in the 'core' OS package. Some things that were
    optional in Tiger have become part of the "minimum" Leopard install.
    The Xcode software development tools are a standard part of every OS-X
    distribution, but since most customers have no use for them, they're not
    included in the factory-installed disk image. If you don't plan to install
    them, subtract 3.4 GB from the final tally.
    Factory pre-installed Tiger 10.4.8 & bundled software .................. 16.4 GB
    Erase & Install Tiger 10.4.8 with NO optional packages .................. 2.9 GB
    SoftwareUpdate to 10.4.10, with NO optional packages .................. 3.1 GB
    Erase & Install Leopard 10.5.0 with NO optional packages ............... 6.6 GB
    SoftwareUpdate (11/11, immediately after Leopard install) ............. 6.7 GB
    Install Xcode SW development tools from Leopard DVD ................. 10.1 GB
    Install & SoftwareUpdate iLife'08 (except iWeb & GarageBand) ....... 12.3 GB
    SoftwareUpdate to Leopard 10.5.1.................................................. 12.5 GB
    IMO, 250 GB is FAR more than you'll ever need for installable software plus
    a sizeable collection of music/photos. OTOH, no amount of disk space will
    ever be enough for an avid music/photo/video junkie, and everyone should
    have an external backup drive. So, stick with the standard internal drive and
    buy more external storage.
    ...a billion here, a billion there -- and pretty soon you're talkin' 'bout alot of money,
    Looby

  • If I sync apps with migration assistant, will it over-write the newer iLife apps on my new MacBook Pro?

    I purchased a new MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion) and connected it to my existing iMac (Lion) to transfer over my user account, music and applications.  It did not occur to me that the process might over-write the iLife apps already factory installed on the MBP.  I am having trouble checking if that happened, but getting info on both iPhoto and iMovie shows that they are 32-bit applications (Calendar, Contacts and iMessage just show as "applications" without saying if they are 32- or 64-bit).
    What version numbers should all those iLife apps be? If I have over-written them, what would I have to do to restore the factory installed versions at this point since the MBP does not come with install disks anymore?

    MacJack: I did the migration when started up the computer for the first time.
    As for suggestion from Mende1, it sounds like a great idea, but if I did over-write what was already there, will the App Store charge me for the apps if I did not buy them through the App Store (since they came pre-installed on the MBP)?  If so, I would prefer to take the MBP to an Apple store with the receipt and offer an explanation.
    Would knowing the version numbers of the software I now have installed be enough information to know if they were the versions that came pre-installed on the MBP under Mountain Lion?

  • IWork and iLife apps are _not_ showing free in the AppStore anymore. Why?

    Just uppgraded to iOS 7.0.3 on my new iPhone 5s. iWork and iLife apps are _not_ showing free in the AppStore anymore, only the Buy (for a price) option is there. Why? These apps used to show up free for me earlier, but i didn't install them due to the reported system instability they caused. That instability is reportedy addressed in iOS 7.0.3 but the apps are not free anymore, are they? Looks like it's not what was advertised...

    Ok... rebooting my iPhone 5s one more time after upgrading to iOS 7.0.3 solved the problem - after the reboot all the iWork and iLife apps are showing free in the AppStore again... Good deal!

  • I lost most of iLife apps is there a way i can get them back?

    Hello.
    I lost almost all my iLife apps when someone from family accidently deleted them. I have lost the CD you got with the mac a long time ago.
    Is there a way i can recover all those apps? I need iPhoto, iWeb, Garageband, iMovie.

    Either call Apple customer services and see  if they can replace your original discs,
    or buy a copy of iLife '09 or '11 {'11 doesn't include iWeb, I understand} from Amazon MP (etc),
    or buy them individually from the App Store {iWeb will not be available on the App Store and nor will iDVD}
    If you want the retail disc I'd hurry - Apple no longer sell iLife on disc, and prices are starting to rise on Amazon already.

  • Remove iLife Apps from New Mac Hardware with OSX 10.8

    I have a new iMac that came preinstalled with OSX 10.8 and the Macintosh iLife apps (iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand).  I do not want the iLife apps as I do not use them but there no longer seems to be a way to clean install the OS without these applications.  I tried trashing the apps but the App Store keeps trying to update them, so clearly something remains.
    How do I get rid of these applications completely and have the App Store recognize that they are gone?

    The reason macjack and tzikowski recommend doing the migration when the computer is booted for the first time is due to how Migration Assistant works. MA doesn't copy Applications & files, it copies Applications & accounts. If you've already logged into your computer, when you use Migration Assistant it will copy your account from your old computer to the new one. Most people have a preferred account name and have already set up their new computer with it so when MA is run and the old account is copied, it has to be renamed. This can be disturbing or disappointing and yes, you can simply delete the first account you made and change the name of the migrated one but the short name isn't changed, just the long name.
    But when you boot the computer for the first time you can migrate before any account is created so the old account is copied to the new computer and your account name remains the same. This is the only difference between Migration Assistant and what's called Setup Assistant in the first boot utility.

  • Restore iLife apps in the store

    When you setup new mac you can accept iLife apps in the store to get them. I didn't do so at the beginning and now they are gone. Is it possible to get them back without restoring whole OS?

    Now, that's pretty weird. I made recovery, it took a couple of hours and MBA ended up in the very same state as it was before. I thought it's like a clean installation but apparently it is not. So what did it do, just refreshed the current installation? Seems pretty useless to me, to be honest. And in the end iLife apps appeared in the purchased list to accept but it says it was taken by a different account. Now I'm definitelly lost. I mean, iLife comes with every Mac, right? So whay all the fuss with associating with accounts and such...?

  • Upgrade mountain lion, cant restore back up n iLife apps missing

    i had upgrade my macbook to mountain lion, now i cant restore my back up from my time machine and all my iLife apps and Microsoft 2008 missing. How can I get it back? 

    About ilife if you bought them from the MAS then you can redownload then again,but if no then they are in the DVD's that come with your mac.The first is the operative system but in the second one you can find the bundle applications they are the ilife applications.Just insert it and install them.
    If you loss the dvd's then contact apple and with your machine serial number probably can get a replacement.
    Hope it helps.

  • Photo sharing with iLife apps

    Hi all,
    I'm a fairly new mac user (macs are awesome by the way!) having a few problems with iPhoto 6.
    When I import photos (originally batch named and keyworded on a PC version of Picasa) something happens to the photo library that makes it unviewable by all the other iLife apps...
    I read somewhere that an '&' sign in a file name could cause problems, so I used automator to rename all the files taking out any non alpha-numeric characters. But those same files still caused the same problem (I've built and deleted about 20 libraries in iphoto in the last fortnight trying to isolate the problem).
    Basically what happens is: import a few photos, the library can be seen in other apps but then import certain folders of photos and the library disappears in those apps (imovie, i web etc)!
    The only other thing I can think of is that the keyword's are problematic somehow? But iPhoto doesn't allow a user to permanently remove keywords...
    Any suggestions?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The problem is in the albumdata.xml file. This is usually caused by a bad keyword in your iPhoto library. Non-ascii characters, returns, and spaces can trigger the problem. One user had a blank keyword that wasn't visible in the list; once she deleted it the problem was resolved.
    To help pinpoint the bad keyword, you can look at the xml file. Compare it to Dave E.'s description in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3870956?. If you see a similar error, go back to your keywords list in iPhoto and either delete or rename the offending keyword.
    You change the keywords in iPhoto's Preferences. There you can rename, add, delete , or reorder the keywords on your list.

  • ILife apps in Yosemite install but remain as pending updates

    Ages ago, I aquired the iLife and iWorks apps (GarageBand, iMovie, iPhoto, Keynote, Numbers, Pages). I now upgraded from 10.8 to 10.10 (english).
    The App Store now shows the following strange behaviour:
    1. I could update all apps except GarageBand from the Purchases tab.
    2. GarageBand I had to purchase again, what I did.
    3. After reboot, all six apps work.
    4. However, they all still appear as UPDATE (except GarageBand which appears as INSTALL) in the App Store.
    5. A non iLife app like FinalCutPro updated properly too AND is recognized as installed properly.
    PROBLEM and QUESTION:
    How do I get the App Store to recognize the former iLife apps as installed and current?
    Thanks,
    Falk
