IMovie did not come on my macbook pro!!

Okay, so my brother got his macbook pro awhile ago and he let me use it. I noticed that it didn't come with iMovie. I don't want to pay $4.99 for it. I thought every Mac came with iMovie? Is there anyway that I can get iMovie on the laptop without having to pay the $4.99?

IMovie does cost extra.
However, remember that the latest version of iMovie has had the ability to create chapter markers removed.  I would recommend you purchase iMovie HD 06 or  iMovie 11.  Both available on Amazon as part of iLife.  ( You will get iDVD also. )
If you plan to make movies longer than 15 min. you will want to be able to create chapters.

  • Why iMovie is not free for my macbook pro( late 2013)

    I first deleted it and than i want to download it again, but i realize that iMovie is no longer free for my macbook pro( other apps, like pages, iPhoto and Garageband are still free), bt the way, my macbook pro is late 2013 version.

    You're welcome.
    Right the "Mac" "App" "Store". Completely different from the iTunes store and the "i" Device store.

  • IMovie will not download on my MacBook Pro, 10.8.5.

    I try to download from the Mac App Store. It asks me too 'Accept.' I click on it and a password prompt appears. I key in my Apple ID password and wait as a small grey loading sign appears on the top left, after a couple seconds it dissapears and nothing has happened, No download. Nothing. I have re-keyed my password several times. Really annoying, I need iMovie ASAP. Please help.

    Looks like Mavericks is required. I can't find a download location for version 9.

  • HT1338 My Macbook Pro did not come with apps like iMovie or GarageBand...why?

    I just purchased the Macbook Pro after it had recently been updated in-store with OS X Lion, and today I also upgraded it to Mountain Lion. However, my macbook did not come with iLife, iMovie, or GarageBand. How do I go about fixing this? I don;t want to pay for them online via the app store, because they are supposed to come with the laptop.

    iLife is no longer offered with the upgrade OS, a inconvenience for many. 
    iLife was never offered with an OS update. It comes with the purchase of the Mac.
    If the Mac was updated by someone in the store to Lion, that means it was old enough that it came with probably Snow Leopard. There should be a set of grey DVDs that came with the Mac. The iLife applications were on one of the DVDs.

  • I recently got a hand-me-down Macbook (white) 2010 and want to restore to factory settings. The computer did not come with any discs. It is running 10.6.8 and I purchased 10.6.3 recently to upgrade my MacBook Pro. Can I use that to restore the MacBook?

    I want to give the hand-me-down to my kids so they will stay off my MacBook Pro I'd like to start fresh with the MacBook, remove all the former owners information, restore it to factory settings, but it did not come with any installation discs, so I don't know what to do. I recently purchased Snow Lepoard for my 2008 MacBook Pro. Can I use that to restore the MacBook? Also, the former owner purchased Microsoft Office (ugh) with the computer but again, no installation discs. How do I keep that when I restore?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I purchased a mini to HDMI cable and tried to connect to the TV but the TV is not recognizing the computer. I attempted to set sound and display settings under the "my Preferences" utility with no success.  Again, I'm not sure if I need to upgrade my OS software Any Suggestions?

    I recently bought a new macbook and installed Acrobate Pro. My settings/preferences did not come over and I do not have the same style options for my signature.  It now only allows me three options and the style I have been using for the last year is not there.  How do I add additional options and get my preferred signature style back?

    Hi Amanda ,
    Which version of Acrobat are you using?
    Which signature style are you talking about?
    You can go ahead and try uninstalling and reinstalling it and see if that works for you .
    Use the cleaner tool to uninstall it .Here is the link.

    You can refer to the following link to re install it .

  • Since my MacBook Pro did not come with an iDVD

    Since my MacBook Pro did not come with an iDVD and my old mac has an old iDVD, if I get an iLife 09 or 11 will I be able to install the iDVDs from these programs or are the iDVDs just an upgrade? Thank you.

  • How does apple want me to create a DVD to play on my DVD player from iMovie? iDVD did not come with my iMac.

    I have created several home movies in imovie and am now ready to burn them to DVDs that family members can play on their DVD players. How am I supposed to do this? iDVD did not come with my imac. How does apple want us to do this? Thanks.

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it, and how do I install it?
    Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. Some purchasers of new iMacs have reported that if you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone to Apple, they may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.
    Also, you can complain bitterly via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should not dictate how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or that comes with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. As there is no satisfactory substitute for iDVD Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
    It is worth noting that the version of iDVD 7 included with iLife 11 only includes themes from iDVD 5-7. If you want all the older themes you should buy iLife 9, which has the same version of iDVD 7 but with all the themes, and none of the iDVD 7 updaters available from Apple Downloads contain them.
    Currently the only certain way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-21006826-20751 4/Installer001.jpg
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-21006826-20748 0/Pacifist001.jpg
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
    But even though you can still buy iLife 9 or 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
    When you try to install iDVD you may see a notice come up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March 2012, because Apple have withdrawn the license to it can no longer be used.
    In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
    If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer.  After installing iDVD reset the time back to the correct time on your Mac.
    You may be to use able to use the installer even without setting back the date.  Just click on the Continue button and it should work as expected, but for some it will not continue unless the date is  set back.
    Additional comments:
    Apple has clearly indicated in the newest iMacs, Mac mini and Retina Display MacBook Pro that it plans to phase out optical disc drives as soon as possible across the board, providing an external USB drive as an option for users who need one but which is not universally compatible with all Macs.
    Users increasingly have fewer opportunities to use optical drives, as the bulk of third party software is now available as a digital download either directly from the vendor or through Apple's App Store. but not all. Apple also sees digital distribution as the future of music and movies, as exemplified in Apple TV, which has never included an optical drive.
    The company has never supported any new HD optical disc formats on its products, including Microsoft's ill fated HD-DVD or Sony's Blu-ray format, despite initially being involved in the Blu-ray standardization process. Instead, Apple has put its resources behind developing increasingly higher definition audio and video formats that it can distribute electronically through its own iTunes Store.
    And if you think Microsoft are any better, their latest Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced:  http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
    In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.
    The latest anorexic iMacs do not even include a CD drive (or Firewire)! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of optical media - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
    Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?
