Imovie and iPhoto as paid app

Hello,
I have uninstalled imovie and iphoto to save some space on my Macbook Air recently. Moreover i am having ilife installed in my mac mini, so i dont use it on my MBA. Today while browsing app store, i saw both the apps are listed as paid?. just curious why it shows as paid app.. because i unstalled it? If i want to install it on MBA in future, should i purchaise it?. OS is Mavericks.

Hello dabance,
Thank you for the question.  It sounds like you are curious on whether you would be charged again to download your iLife applications. 
If you have associated the applications with your Apple ID, you can download them from the Purchases pane of the Mac App Store.  You can find more information in the following resources:

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Hello,
    I have Mac released in mid 2012 with OS 10.10.2, my friend has downloaded iMovie and iPhoto from his ID, whenever any updates comes I have to depend upon his Apple Id,  to get rid of it, I deleted the app and now when I m trying to download it from my Apple ID it is showing the price of the app. It should show free. Pls help.

    Log in with the Apple ID used to register the computer. If you don't have access to it or the applications still don't show as being free, click here and contact Apple.

  • How do I update iMovie and iPhoto? it tells me "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."

    I have been trying to update imovie and iphoto but i keep getting the same message and dont know how to go about it. Help please!

    You obviously haven't bothered to read the software license agreement that covers iPhoto.
    It states exactly what I have been explaining to folks that you now come along and contradict;
    http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/iPhoto.pdf (underlining mine)
    B. If you obtained the Apple Software preinstalled by Apple on Apple-branded hardware, in order to use the Apple Software on more than one of the Apple-branded computers you own or control under the Mac App Store Product Usage Rules, you must log in to the Mac App Store and associate the Apple Software with your Mac App Store account. If you choose not to associate the preinstalled Apple Software with your Mac App Store account, you are permitted to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer at any one time. Please also note that by choosing to associate the preinstalled Apple Software with your Mac App Store account, you will also associate any other Apple software applications (i.e., iMovie and GarageBand) that are provided to you as part of the same preinstalled application bundle.
    You have been lucky, because they realized that you were not intelligent enough to work with logically or to understand the license agreement, the Apple employees likely gave you these redemption codes to get rid of you. I seriously doubt that Apple is going to make a policy and give every user redemtion codes because they fail to read the terms of use and fail to associate their iLfe apps to their Apple ID correctly.
    There is no bug. It works this way by design.

  • 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.

  • "Open-Box" MacBook. iMovie and iPhoto $14.99 each. Don't want to pay.

    So I just bought my MacBook and it was discounted as an "Open Box" which meant that someone had bought the computer and shortly (less than a week) decided that they did not want it. So because the person would have begun setting up the computer and using the computer's serial number to download Apps they would then cost money for peoplel like me who purchase them. This person did not purchase GarageBand because I got it for free, but iMovie and iPhoto both are $14.99. The salesman told me that I could use Apple's Up-To-Date program to get these Apps, however, when I tried to I am only able to get iWork and not iLife. How can I get iMovie and iPhoto without having to pay for them? I also have just updated the computer just incase that was not allowing me to get iMovie and iPhoto but that was not the problem.
    Thanks

  • 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
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder may open with a file named "adoption.plist" selected. If it does, move the file to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Log out, log back in, and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, 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.

  • 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?

  • I cant update iMovie and iPhoto because of a false account

    Hi, I cant upgrade my iMovie and iPhoto because i dont know my pass anymore and made a new account.
    How can I still upgrade it ?

    Im having the same issue - now what?
    I also, forgot my password, made a new one and it says:
    Also, it does now allow for a purchase in the app store. I read somewhere it was $14.99. Ill pay it to get my iphoto library to work, but it doesn't have a price, it only says "update". Its got me going in circles.

  • Can't download iMovie and iPhoto to iphone5s

    I can't download iMovie and iPhoto to my iphone5s. Every time I click install and type in my password, the iMovie just dont begin to download. I don't know why!

    If you continue having problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again.

  • Photo booth, imovie and iphoto problem

    photo booth, imovie and iphoto are not working in my macbook pro. when i try to open one of these apps a question mark appears and i can not open any of them.

    Did you move any of those applications? A question mark in the Dock means that the original application cannot be found. You've either moved or deleted them. Try to do a Spotlight search for each to see if you can find them.

  • Why can't I download iMovie and iPhoto?

    Hello,
    After upgrading to Yosemite I found that Internet connection was slow, and dodgy, so I took it to the Apple Store and re-installed Mavericks
    Internet worked fine, it was fast again, etc.
    I tried to open iMovie and iPhoto
    Not there
    I checked in Launchpad
    Not there either.
    I checked on the App Store.
    Yup.
    $19 for iMovie
    What is this? I was using iMovie and iPhoto before Yosemite, but now I can't use it.
    I shouldn't lose my Apps because Apple made a dodgy update

    I don't think it's a dodgy upgrade, a handful report issues with their Mac and millions have no issues whatever. It works perfectly here.
    If you had the iLife apps before, they should be listed in your account in the Purchases pane for download. However, the Mac App Store usually carries the most recent version. The most recent version doesn't run on Mavericks. You should always make a backup of your Mac, especially before something so major as an OS X upgrade. Then you would have the Mavericks versions to restore to your Mac again running Mavericks.
    Not sure what you can do at this point.

    i guess you could put the aiport utility app on your iphone, click on the aiport express there, it will show you how many devices are connected to it and the mac addresses of those devices.

  • IMovie and IPhoto will not update.

    IMovie and IPhoto will not update.  Giving me "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (18)."  I have OS X version 10.8.5 and my IPHOTO is 9.4.3
