Imovie and iphoto applicatons disappear from my G5 tower

Is there any way to download iMovie and iPhoto applications? I see several updates but i could not do that because no applications. Even I have preferences there.

Hi deaflie:
the only way to get any iLife application (at least since iMovie 3 and iDVD 3) is to purchase the iLife package.
Look here:

Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it?

Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it? I thought that if I bought it the apps on my macbook, they would be avaliable on my imac like the mobile devices operate. The macbook has 10.6.8 cause its a older model and I think lion would slow it down. Any help??

Just redownload it on the other computer by logging into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it.

No early version of iPhoto can open a Library from a later version.
You can try revert the Library with iPhoto Library Manager

Cannot update iMovie and iPhoto from Apple Store using Mountain Lion

Hi,
Everytime I try and update iMovie and iPhoto from the App Store I get an "an error has occured" followed by a "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)." I tried to download the update from the apple website, but much to my chagrin I was told "The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available."
Help anyone?
Thanks,

I have only had one AppleID ever. I do not have any other AppleIDs. My kids have thier own... and only one each for this very reason. Pick an ID and stick with it becuase it will be with you the life of ownership of Apple products.

IMovie and iPhoto problem after restoring iPhone 5 from backup

Isnt iMovie and iPhoto supposed to be free for iPhone 5 when we bought it?
When i first tried my iphone, imovie and iphoto is there. i even tested it. then after yesterday i restore it from my backup on my Macbook Air, those 2 apps are gone. I dont know what went wrong.
My previous phone is iPhone 4. So supposedly i restore it from the iphone 4 backup data. I doubt that would be the problem, isnt it?

iMoive and iPhoto are not free apps. If you purchased them on your iPhone they should available to download again on your new iPhone.

I have updates for iMovie and iPhoto but when i try to update them i'm told To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." even though i bought it and it is on my iMac!

I have updates for iMovie and iPhoto but when I try to update them through App Store I'm told that "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." even though I bought it and it is on my iMac! Any suggestions on what I need to do?

Hi...
Delete both apps using this utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
That will delete the apps and all associated files.
Then re download the apps. That will download the most recent version updates included.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

Why can't update to the new iMovie and iPhoto?

I recently had to get a new hard drive in my MacBook Pro. After I installed Mavericks, I got a notification from the App Store saying there are two updates for iMovie and iPhoto. When I try to update them, I receive a message saying update unavailable with this apple ID. It goes on to say this update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or this item was refunded or cancelled. I have tried every possible Apple ID this could of been purchased with and receive the same message each time. I have no idea what to do to update these now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Follow the directions in this support article.
Step 2
Associate your Apple ID with your user account. Then sign in to the App Store with the same ID.
Step 3

Right-click or control-click the line and select

Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 4

IMovie and recovery of photos from DVD

I am on Leopard and iLife 08. Sadly my disk crashed on my Macbook and I lost many photos. I had made an iMovie using video clips and photos and burnt a DVD. Can I some how copy these clips and photos back into imovie and iPhoto from the DVD? Apple could not recover any dat from the crashed disk which was only 14 months old.

a DVD has, defined by standards, a very low resolution,.. 640x480..
and the stills are transformed into 'video-files' => no 'digital export' ...
so, the easiest way is screengrabs..
but.. the DVDplayer app doesn't allow screengrabs from DVDs.
download and use for free http://www.videolan.org/
insert your DVD, play it, pause it, and use the well-known commands 'apple-shift-4' to grab the portion you need from your screen..

GarageBand, iMovie and iPhoto won't upgrade

Hello,
Since a while ago, I've been receiving every day and every time a notification saying a new upgrade for GarageBand, iMovie and iPhoto is available.
For some reason, whenever I go to the app store and try to upgrade all, I get a message saying: "To upgrade these apps, connect to the account you used to buy them".
I don't have any other accounts meaning that the only one I have should work. There is another user on my computer and he also has a different Apple ID which we tried to use but nothing happens either.
So, is there anything we can do to either upgrade those apps or to stop getting the upgrade message?
Thanks.

I'm not sure if upgrading to Lion could be the issue, it didn't came preinstalled so when it was released, I bought it and upgraded.
Do you mean Lion or Mt. Lion? Did you make a clean install? If you upgraded from Snowleopard, you probably bought your Mac before the AppStore was released, and then you should upgrade iLife using Software Update from the -menu and not from the AppStore. Have you moved your iLife apps to from their original location to a subfolder of Applications? Then move them back.
But if you bought your Mac with Lion preinstalled, try to log out of the AppStore and then click the "Updates" tab and sign back in. Does that show the updates?

Problem with iTunes compatability with iMovie and iPhoto

I purchased some music from the iTunes music store and wanted to use that music in a homemade DVD I made. I also have tried using the purchased music when I play a slideshow in iPhoto. In both instances, an error window popped up saying that I needed to launch iTunes and authorize the computer to play the song... Well I bougth the music on the same computer and it is authorized. I typed in the authorization anyways and then after that iMovie and iPhoto both pop up with an error saying that it can't use the file.
Thinking it might just be one song file... I have tried this with many purchased song. I have had the same problem with all of the purchased songs I've tried.
Are some purchased songs not compatable with the iLife applications? How can I fix this problem? I'm running iLife 05 and I have installed all of the updates, including the most recent...
iTunes 6.0.2
iPhoto 5.0.4
iMovie HD 5.0.2

Do you need to update Quicktime as well?

Hi TaylorDes,
Yes, you can reinstall those applications - as well as GarageBand by downloading them from the Mac app store. There is no charge.

Lost imovie and iphoto

I have installed Tiger on my g4 imac and forgot to save imovie and iphoto can anyone please explain how I restore old system (ie what order the discs go in ) and how do i start again with tiger

Assuming your iMac G4 shipped with Panther 10.3.x and later the
system was upgraded by installing Tiger over Panther content, so
the Panther-level's iLife components were carried over in Tiger...
And your later Tiger retail installer, having none of that within it,
does not give you iPhoto or iMovie, etc with a new full install.
The Panther restore and install original disc set may be able to
provide raw materials to use Pacifist: http://www.charlessoft.com/
and hope it can make use of those Panther-vintage bits on disc
to assemble and install a working iPhoto and iMovie from them.
I'd tried Pacifist to install a Tiger-vintage iPhoto in a computer
which had been wiped and upgraded past the original Panther
with a retail Tiger 10.4.0 DVD installer and was able, after three
tries, to get a working iPhoto 5.x version. Or I think it works.
{This was from a non-working iBookG4's restore/install DVD.}
To find a good condition stand alone iLife 06 or 07 may be a
better way to go, since that should be Tiger compatible as
well as being able to run in the older PowerPC G4 machine.
The video or graphics hardware, and need to have a DVD
or super drive, limits some of the later iLife software titles.
Some iMac G4s can't really use the last iLife versions, not
to the degree you'd hope; given they are vintage, not Intel.
I have found a good tool to have, even with iPhoto on the
same computer, in ToyViewer. It runs free and has tools.
And it can do more than most beginners may need, well.
ToyViewer 4.92 free running image software:
http://homepage.mac.com/t_ogihara/software/OSX/toyv-eng.html
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Question about how Mac OS X stores file information for iMovie and iPhoto

I'm relatively new to Macs (am using a 3yr old iMac and a new MBA running 10.6.4 and iLife 11) and I have this general question.
I'm using the iMac for a lot of Movie projects and photos. I've very quickly filled up my 500Gb hard drive and I don't understand why other than this:
I import a movie using iMovie and it's stored in an Events folder. I then make a project and it's stored in an Projects folder, I then share it to iTunes and it's stored in the iTunes Music/Movies folder. And I also see the movie in an iMovie Shared folder. In other words, it appears that a 2Gb movie (as an axample) becomes about 10Gb because it's saved in multiple places. Must I keep all of them?!
With iPhotos, I've imported about 6Gb of photos from my Windows PC. No problem. I copied across all the directories and then imported them into iPhoto. I then thought I could delete all the directories as the iPhoto folder became 24Gb in size! Not sure how but it seems that as well as keeping my original 6Gb of photo directories it's also put them into the iPhoto directory and somehow made it a big folder size?! If I delete the original folders (since they're now in the iPhoto app folder) then I can't actually browse the JPGs files can I except from within iPhoto only?
I've got about 80Gb of music, about 6Gb of photos and about 80Gb of movies. Somehow it's pretty much filled up 500Gb of hard drive (and very little other programs or files other than the normal iMac stuff it comes with) because of the way the Mac (iTunes, iMovie and iPhoto) seems to have the same thing copied everywhere.
All input greatfully receive and apologies if I'm being thick.
Richard.

Richard
I'll answer the iPhoto part for you.
If you use iPhoto in its default setting then the images are copied into the Library on import. Yes you can now delete the directories you have copied over.
then I can't actually browse the JPGs files can I except from within iPhoto only?
Yes and no...
The point of iPhoto is that it's your Photo Manager. It's the "go-to" app when you want to do anything with your Photos. - View them, edit them, email them, print them, use them in other apps, upload them whatever - all of these things are done from iPhoto.
There are two advantages to working this way.
1. You get to work with your Photos and don't have to think about files. This means the organisation possibilities are much greater than just files in folders. You can use Keywording, Smart Searching, Albums, Events and a plethora of other bases for categorising and therefore find your pics.
2. iPhoto is integrated throughout the entire OS. That means your Library is available throughout the OS without iPhoto being open by means of Media Browsers. You can search your Library from a MEdia Browser and so on.
So, while, yes, the files are not browsable via the Finder, there's no need to. Everything you need to do can be done with iPhoto.
Want to edit the pics in something other than iPhoto:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Regards
TD

Imovie and iphoto

I recently upgraded my system from panther to tiger. When I did this, I did not use an archivial restore/ install, I erased everything, then put tiger on my computer. I noticed tonight that imovie and iphoto are no longer on my computer. Does anyone know why, or what I can do to get these applications back on my computer? Also, my automator is not working because these two applications are no longer on my computer.

Hi Lauren,
welcome to this fourm
.... well, you made a mistake...- the iApps are NOT part of the system software since version 2.... you have to buy them extra...- with a clean install you have erased them, gone, nirvana, zero...-
BUT!!
... you should have installer cds/dvds with you iBook...- you should be able to re-install the older versions... best practise anyhow is, to buy iLife05 in combo with 10.4.......-
