ILife on Mountain Lion

Hi, If I buy a used Mac Mini (latest 2012 model) and has had a clean install of OS X Mountain Lion. Will iLife be installed and can I used iMovie on it?
Many Thanks

Yes if the person redownloaded it on the Mini. Noe y have to log into the ariginal account used with the Mini. The below is from:
OS X: About OS X Recovery
Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion
If you erase install OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion installed, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start (up) from OS X.
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.

  • HT4718 Can't find iLife after Mountain Lion download?

    After my mountain lion download (done by a genius at the apple store so I know I didn't mess it up!), ilife isn't here. It's also not under the "purchase" section of the app store like support.apple.com says it should be. help?

    New Macs come with iLife. However, if you did a clean install you're not going to have iLife.
    However, the original install disk that came with your Mac should have an iLife installer included.

  • ILife - Fresh Mountain Lion install

    I recently did a fresh install of Mountain Lion, without using my time machine. I have been manuelly transferring apps back to my Mac, but I get an error when I try to open Pages, Keynotes, and Numbers. I originally bought iLife in '07 when it was on a disk, not from the app store. Any idea how I can get these iLife up and running again. I don't think the app store recognizes the purchase since I bought iLife from best buy on a disk.

    I think i misunderstood your question.  Did the Mac Mini originally come with iLife / ML?  Or was it added on by the original owner?  If ML / iWork are tied to the seriel number you should be able to reinstall. 
    It sounds like in this cae you may not, and will have to rtepurchase. 

  • Software update, iLife and Mountain Lion

    When I purchased my mac, it came with Snow Leopard, and iLife (iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband etc) on disc. I upgraded to Lion last year.
    Since iLife came with my Mac, and not from the app store, I received all updates through software update.
    I heard that software update is done away with in Mountain Lion. So what happens to my apps? Will my iLife apps automagically be recognized and updated through the app store?
    More importantly, I purchased the disc version of Logic Studio (39GB of content!). I am particularly appreciative of the disc version of Logic since it has more content than when you download from the app store, and I can't afford to download 39GB of content. I don't want to upgrade to Mountain Lion if it messes up my Logic.
    I don't want to have to purchase my apps again.
    Is anyone else in the same situation as me? Have you upgraded to Mountain Lion? What has happened to your apps? Do they get recognized by the app store?
    If you reinstall mountain lion, then what happens to your apps?

    Also a little heads up, if you do a clean install of Mountain Lion you won't be able to install the iLife apps via the DVD you will receive an error. Apple suggests doing a Clean install of Snow Leopard, then installing iLife via the DVD, and then upgrading to Mountain Lion. What I did was a clean install of Mountain Lion and then I transferred the iLife apps from my Time Machine backup.
    Or the simple process of just upgrading works. (I personally prefer clean installs, but they aren't required.)

  • Can't restore iLife after reinstalling Mountain Lion

    After I erase the internal disk and reinstall Mountain Lion, I followed this instruction which Apple provides officially to restore my iLife:
    Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion
    If you erase install OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion installed, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.

These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.
    However, when I finish #5, I can't find my iLife apps are listed in that "Purchases" tab. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

    Yes, that is what is supposed to happen.
    I'd contact MAS support

  • I lost iLife after reinstalling Mountain Lion

    I bought my iMac in April last year, it is the 21.5 inch mid/late 2011 iMac (if I'm not wrong), the thing is I used to install lots of things in here until I decided it was worth to erase all the unimportant content, but to make myselfe sure I decided to back up in an external hard drive everything I thought it was important and then I proceded to reboot the system and enter in restore mode while startup (using cmd + r, as you may know).. Once in there I went to disk utilities and erased my HDD and after that I proceeded to reinstall Mountain Lion. Everything went OK, I entered my Apple ID and Password and the installation went through without any further problems. When I started to reconfigure everything I noticed iPhoto was missing, so I inmediately checked if iMovie and GarageBand were there, but they were not. So I logged in the Mac AppStore but there said I should bought them (which actually makes sense, because I got iLife with my iMac) but I honestly don't know what to do. I used to use a lot these softwares, and it would be nice to have them back.. Do you have any idea of what should I do?
    I also would like to add that my iMac came with OS X Lion, I bought Mountain Lion personally.. if that has something to do with..
    Thanks for your attention,
    PD: Please bear in mind that I'm from Argentina, any mistake you can found wasn't intencionally, sorry if you happen to find many

    Thank you very much for your help and your time, this problem was in deed very simple to solve, I tried to click the buy app button just to see what happens and it turned out that was the right thing to do.
    If any one has this problem here is a screenshot that will more or less tell you what you got to do:

  • Why ilife disappear after reinstalling mountain lion?

    why ilife disappear after reinstalling mountain lion?

    The 10.8.3 update should have left your iLife apps intact - did you do a clean install, erasing your drive? If so, then you should be able to go to the Mac App Store and download the iLife apps using the Apple ID with which you registered your computer.

  • I had iLife pre-installed on my aluminium Macbook 2009 with OSX Leopard on it. My hard drive broke but got most of the info off it and just installed snow Leopard on to a new drive and then downloaded and installed Mountain Lion over it. Now I don't have

    I had iLife pre-installed on my aluminium Macbook 2009 with OSX Leopard on it. My hard drive broke but got most of the info off it and just installed snow Leopard on to a new drive and then downloaded and installed Mountain Lion over it. Now I don't have iLife anymore. How do I get it back?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Mac OS X doesn't come with iLife applications, so you have to install them manually after installing Mac OS X.
    Insert the Applications disc or Mac OS X Install Disc 2 DVD and install iLfe applications. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest update. If you want, you can purchase iMovie, GarageBand and iPhoto in the App Store, so you will get the most recent version

  • Creating my own Fusion Drive: Do I need to buy Mountain Lion from the app store to reinstall the OS? Do I lose the iLife apps?

    I just bought a Mac Mini (late 2012) with a 1TB HDD and I'm planning to install a second drive, an SSD (Samsung 840 evo) and create the Fusion Drive, and I have a couple of questions:
    1- I've read lots of articles on how to do this but I'm not sure if I have to buy Mountain Lion from the app store (to reinstall the OS after I install the second drive) since I'm not able to see it on the "Purchased" list of apps, or if I can just reinstall OS X with OS X Utilities.
    2- I read somewhere that if I make my own Fusion Drive when I reinstall OS X I will lose iLife, is this true? Or will I be able to redownload it from the store? I really don't want to lose iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand and I'm confused about it.
    Thanks in advance for any help and information you can give me!

    Thankyou very much lllaass, that's exactly what I wanted to be sure about!

  • Will Mountain Lion affect my iLife installations?

    I have a 2011 Intel iMac, which came with 10.6.7 disks.  Soon after getting it, I upgraded to Lion.  I am about to upgrade to Mountain Lion and I am concerned that my existing iLife suite may be affected by the upgrade.  If I have a problem, where do I go to re-install the iLife material?
    Thanks in advance.

    If you have any problems with your iLife (you shouldn't) then you would use your install disk to re-install them.

  • 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.

  • Can I install iLife '04 Suite on Mountain Lion?

    I have the original install CD of iLife '04 (not the DVD), and I'm wondering if I can install the iLife suite of iPhoto, GarageBand etc. on a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion? And then after installing, I should be able to update those apps through Software Update, correct?

    No.
    iLife '04 is for PPC macs.
    iLife '11 is 30 bucks on Amazon.

  • I have 2009 IMAC installed with latest OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. But I don't have Ilife ,I can't find from my system.OS X 10.8 normally coming with Ilife ? It's true. Then how can I find Ilife?

    I have 2009 early Imac installed with latest OS X Mountain Lion. But I can't find Ilife from my system. Normally Mountain Lion coming with Ilife loaded, it's true? But I can't find Ilife applications. Pls, advice me.

    It is my understanding that iLife is not included with Mountain Lion, but with a new Mac... You only get it pre-installed as part of a hardware purchase.
    I am not an expert, but hopefully someone else will be able to confirm this, and if correct it means you wil have to purchase iLife seperately from the Mac App Store.
    Sorry!
    Update: If you visit the online Apple store and start to order a new Mac, you will see that iLife is not included and can be added as an extra purchase.
    You will have to purchase this seperatley.

  • Will mountain lion contain new version of ilife?

    I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, but I'm missing features in iphoto to use the icloud for streaming pictures, and cannot find an upgrade for ilife.
    Also, will Mountain Lion include an ilife upgrade?

    The picture streaming/subscription features were part of MobileMe's Gallery and were discontinued with the transition to iCloud. Apple may release new versions of these programs when Mountain Lion is released, but these are standalone programs that are usually upgraded separately. It is likely Apple will release updates to fix bugs and implement Mountain Lion-specific features in the programs, but less so that Apple will release full version upgrades. However, we will ultimately have to wait and see.
