Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First of all, did you buy a second-hand Mac? If you bought a second-hand Mac, it's normal that you can't update those apps because they are registered to the Apple ID of its first owner. The only solution is to buy iLife '11 in a DVD and install the applications again.
If not, those applications may be hidden, so you have to unhide them in order to update these applications > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4928

IMovie & iPhoto Updates !!!

iPhoto and iMovie is showing up updates for me. Usually the update button in the iTunes has the price (as text itself in it) but for both of these its just showing as "Update" does it mean, as I have already purchased both the app recently I get the updates free or I will have to pay for the update as well. Even if I have to pay am not sure whats the amount..!!!

IMovie/iPhoto updates won't install in Mavericks

Hi all,
Since my upgrade to Mavericks last year, two updates have been pending in my software update screen: iMovie and iPhoto (it currently wants to upgrade to versions 10.0.4 and 9.5.1, respectively). However, I am not allowed to upgrade according to the App Store. The updates have been there forever and they annoy me a little bit because of the "updates are available" notification. I finally decided to do something about it today by posting this question.
When I click the update button of either app, the app store first tells me that "The update is not available with this apple ID". Which makes me wonder why they appear as updates in the first place. It's not like I have two ID's or anything. When I click "ok", a different message appears: "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null)".
I hope someone can help me with this issue. It is good to note that I'm from the Netherlands but I've bought an iLife '11 license in the USA when I was there for a few months in 2011 (I had an early 2008 MacBook at that time; Yes, that old white thing). The versions of the software that I'm currently running are iMovie '11 version 9.0.9 (1795) and iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3 (720.91). Furthermore, I'm on a 2013 MacBook Air 13" bought in September 2013 before the Mavericks upgrade and the great freebee deal (I cried a lot). I upgraded to Mavericks and then the update issue appeared. I can update all the other stuff without any problems.
Any thoughts anyone?
Regards,
CounterDesk

To complete my information: I bought a family license on DVD in the USA. I'm not sure where this DVD is at the moment, it got lost in time I guess. The country associated with my Apple ID is the Netherlands. I can't see either iPhoto or iMovie in the Purchases section of the App Store.
I contacted Apple Support as you guys suggested. They checked my account and couldn't find any purchase information. I'm now being referred to the Apple Care people. I now also realise that I never installed the DVD on this Mac. I just presumed that the purchase transferred through my Apple ID.
One thing that does not make sense to me is that I cannot buy iMovie and/or iPhoto. It only allows me to start the updating process while the actual updating is not allowed a few moments later. That's why I thought that the license transferred in the first place...
I'm a computer scientist and this has been my greatest IT mystery so far

IMovie + iPhoto update (OS X version 10.9)

My MacBook (OS X version 10.9) will not update iMovie and iPhoto without payment. My friend's computer updated itself without payment?

What version(s) of these apps do you currently have? Ifyou already have iPhoto 11 then the upgrade is free. On the other hand, if you have an earlier version you need to purchase.

IMOVIE and IPHOTO update "An Error has occurred in the update"

IMovie and IPhoto update " an error has occured in your update" - What could be the problem?

To the best of my knowledge, RH does not insert any onLoad
events. It looks like the template you have has that onLoad event
(I don't know how it got there) but there is no javascript file
referenced so it errors.
If you do not need that onLoad event, then take it out but
how did it get there? Is this an inherited project? Be careful that
it is not something that should be there and what is wrong is that
there is no javascript file referenced. Talk to one of your
developers, they will understand.

HT2305 I want to upgrade IMovie, IPhoto, Garageband and ITunes. My MacBookAir is one year old. But what are the prices for updates?

My MacBookAir is one year. I want to upgrade IMovie, IPhoto, Garageband and ITues, But What are the prices for these upgrades. How do I get around?

Actually, if you are updating the free iLife apps (iPhoto, iMovie & GarageBand) that came with your new Mac, the updates are free. Only if you are upgrading to newer major paid versions would you be charged.
iTunes is always free, but is located in Apple Downloads, not the Mac App Store;

I can't update iMovie/Iphoto because second hand mac

Is there any way to update my iMovies & iPhoto? I have updated to Yosemite and can no longer access any of my photos or movies because the previous owners Apple ID purchased them or set up the computer I assume- what can I do to get around this and retrieve my stuff?

Put all your data onto an external drive, click here, and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

IPhoto Crashes everytime I open it

Hello,
I was wondering if someone could help me out here?
iPhoto '11 (Latest update) keeps on crashing everytime I open the program, so I have to force quit it. This issue arose a few weeks ago even before any Apple iLife updates.
I initially thought the crashing issue was related to the MobileMe and Facebook syncing part of iLife, because when it crashes as soon as I open iPhoto and I disconnect my MBP from any network connection (wired or wireless) iPhoto started up ok. When I discovered this I deleted ALL sharing connections in iPhoto so that it shouldn't need to access any of my online profiles (MobileMe, Facebook etc) apart from the location/maps part of iPhoto. This hasn't fixed the issue.
I have done a complete reinstall, updated iPhoto to the latest release and started my iPhoto library database again from scratch. I added some photos from my gig last night and it is the only album in my iPhoto library. Now everytime I start up iPhoto it's crashing again everytime, and the only way I can get it to start is to 'repair and rebuild' the iPhoto database EVERYTIME to get it to work. This takes the biscuit considering that my iPhoto library is brand new and only has 62 photos in it.....
I've also tried other things such as repairing disk permissions, and database permissions when I open iPhoto.
I don't know what else to to do now, it's really disappionting becasue I can't share my photos and I can't even extract then from the iPhoto database. Whats going on Apple??
I refuse to reinstall OSX because it was only reinstalled and updated in the last 7 days.....
Does anyone have any light they could shine on this issue or is anyone else suffering from this fustrating problem?
Thanks guys,
Connor

Looks like i have a similar problem to this except I am running OSX10.7.4 and it was working up until I had the latest software update. Still awaiting a reply to my question. This is my second try at this forum. Hopefully I will have more success the second time around.

Cant find imovie, iphoto and the rest of ilife app

Thank you

Lost iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD when hard drive crashed.

I owned my iMac since 2007 and my first OS was 10.4. As far back then, my iMac came with iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD already installed. Since 2011, I had OS 10.6 on my iMac. Two weekends ago, my hard drive crashed and lost many applications, including iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD. I still had a copy of 10.6 on a disc and reinstalled it and even updated it to the version I had before my HD crashed. I notice that iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD are not in my computer anymore.
I visited the download section on the Apple website and have found versions of iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD that would be compatable with OS 10.6.8, but for some reason I can't install them. I was able to install iPhoto, but can't open it. I can't even install iDVD. I haven't tried to install iMovie.
Is there any way I can install these applications I lost? I realize purchasing a new copy of iLife is one option, but the version that is out now is not compatable with OS 10.6.8.

These are not applications. They are updaters for the applications.
You will have got a disk with your Mac that had the applications on it. You can reinstall from that.

Iphoto update

Hi
I'm not sure why but my computer says it will not accept the new iPhoto update....why is this? Also, I burned a disc of cd's from my friend who had the iphoto update and tried to then upload these into my computer but it said I couldn't becuase I didn't have the latest version..
what should I do ...thanks

Hi Jenna,
What version of iPhoto are you running? To find out, when iPhoto is open, go to the menu bar and click on iPhoto/about iPhoto. iPhoto 2 was the last free version of iPhoto. You now have to purchase the iLife suite which includes iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie, iDVD and Garageband. You probably downloaded the update to version 5 of iPhoto and it will not install unless you have iPhoto 5 already installed on your computer.
Next, if you want to burn images to view or import into iPhoto from your friends computer, this is what you need to do.
Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company
I am thinking that the way you did it was within iPhoto. The disc you get from burning that way, is a mountable iPhoto Library. Meaning if you insert the CD into your computer, it will open iPhoto and mount in the source column for you to view the images.

Imovie, Iphoto, and Garageband are missing

Imovie, Iphoto, and Garageband are missing after I updated OS to Yosemite. iTunes now wants to charge me to reinstall them. How do I get these apps back?

Hi,
If you had those before, just go to "purchases" in the App Store and re-install them.

Pierre
