IMovie software update?

I don't know if this belongs in the App Store discussion or not, but I'm very curious about the software update my computer keeps telling me to do. It consistently takes me to the App Store for an iMovie update (that supposedly has stability updates, which would be excellent. I'm sick of losing huge projects for no reason.), but won't let me update without credit card information. Does the update actually cost money, or is the App Store just being sketchy?

no, updates are free.
is this YOUR account?
Did you purchase iMovie with THIS account?
You don't need a credit-card for an Apple-account.

  • Software update in mountain lion offers updates for iPhoto and iMovie that will not install

    Updated my iMac 2011 to Mountain Lion. Software Update now operates through the App Store. Third Party apps are OK but Apple's native Mac apps eg iPhoto, iMovie offer updates for installation that do not install.
    Get this error eg for iMovie but similar for iPhoto and maybe others:
    "We could not complete your update.  iMovie is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates."
    If you do as suggested, it reloads App Store software update and goes round again...
    If I go to "Check for updates" in the iMovie menu it tells me it's the current version.
    "This version of iMovie (9.0.8) is the current version."
    The badge showing the count of apps requrining an update is also wrong.

    Hi, just wondering, were any of Apple's Apps moved from there default location?

  • Trying to buy Imovie form App store and have the message: These apps cannot be accepted on this computer.     Future updates of these apps can be found through Software Update. How to solve it?

    I have a MBP form July 2011, upgraded to Lion 10.7.4. Last week I had to restore the OS.
    I also bought some time ago Iphoto.
    Today I wanted to install Imovie from App Store. Instead of the Buy bottom I found an Accept bottom and when I tryed to install I had the message:
    These apps cannot be accepted on this computer.
    Future updates of these apps can be found through Software Update.
    I looked for a solution and found a lot of questions about this error but not real answers to fix it.
    Can you please let me know hoe to fix?

    Your Mac should have had all three of the iLife apps pre-bundled with it; iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand. If your Mac came with Mac OS X Snow Leopard installed, then the apps should be on the Install DVD that came with your Mac, perhaps in a folder on the disc labeled bundled apps. After installing them, these apps would not be updated through the Mac App Store, but with Software Update.

  • IMovie tells me there is an update, but Software Update says I'm up to date

    When I start iMovie it says I should update to version 8.0.4 but when Software Update opens it says everything is up to date. What gives?

    I regularly have the same problem with Software Update. I'll get a message from an application (like iTunes) saying new software is available, but when I run Software Update I get the message "Your software is up to date."
    I know I can manually download these updates, but why is Software Update missing these updates?

  • IMovie 9.0.7 will not complete the update either with the download dmg file from the apple site or from the OS software update. I would appreciate some advice.

    When installing the new update 9.0.7 to iMovie either via a dmg file or from the software updater the install will not complete the installation. The indicator bar just stays in the same place with the note install time remaining about a minute. I have let it set for hours and nothing happens. Does anybody have any advice?

    Try this.
    After signing into the Mac App Store (MAS) with your iTunes Apple ID, look at the Purchased page. You should see the three bundled iLife apps listed with Accept buttons. After you have accepted them and Apple has verified that they came on a new Mac and assigned them to your Apple ID and iTunes/MAS account, you should be able to update them.

  • IMovie 10.0 Oct 22, 2013 won't install on my Mac Pro 2008 with OS X 10.9.  Software Updater says "Your computer's video card does not meet the minimum system requirements".  I have ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB.  What card SHOULD I have?

    After installing Mavericks on my 2008 Mac Pro (10GBRAM, several HDs, 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) Software updater says there is an update available. iMovie  Apple   Version 10.0   Released Oct 22, 2013. 
    So I click the UPDATE button
    Software Updater puts up a dialog that says "Your computer’s video card does not meet the minimum system requirements".
    I have ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB.  What card SHOULD I have?
    Thanks.

    It is a easy fix to this problem.
    I have this video card
    iMac 24 inch, early 2008.

    4.leave the app store window open and came back in an  1hr .
    Like magic you will see the imovie app being upgrade it in the lunch pad .
    enjoy it.

  • Imovie runs choppy after 10.6.5 software update

    Hi all,
    I've been running Imovie HD on a MacBook Pro ever since I got it this fall for college. It has performed exceptionally thus far, up until this afternoon. I downloaded the latest software update, and now when I play project files, or watch video clips they run choppy as if the processor or video card or whatever is cutting frames to keep up with the playhead. Any idea of why this would be? A 2.4Ghz intel duo and 4 GB of ram should be more than enough to handle an Imovie file of a couple gigabytes right? It has up unto this point at least, and I'm very ticked that my favorite program is now running slow, and it makes me now want to use it.
    I tried everything from restarts to disk repairs by Apple Jack, but nothing but setting the video rendering to the lowest quality or whatever smooths out the videos when I play them, and up until today I was able to glide through them at the highest quality.
    Help please?

    Hi
    First thing that runs to mind is
    • Free space on start-up hard disk. How Much ?
    • Movies with lot's of audio clips eg > 50 use to stutter - medicine is to mix down
    audio to one Audio-clip and it'll run smooth again.
    Else
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Delete iMovie pref file
    iMovie pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named. (one or more of these)
    com.apple.iMovie.plist
    com.apple.iMovie3.plist
    com.apple.iMovie7.plist
    com.apple.iMovie8.plist
    and find
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
    • Screen must be set to Million-colors
    • Turn off Mac and disconnect Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes - will at least re-set FW-port
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
    • Problems in iPhoto Library can affect iMovie to crash on start-up. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
    This You do by
    _ close iPhoto
    _ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    _ now select all five options presented
    _ WAIT a long long time
    • iMovie updated ?
    • QuickTime updated ?
    • Mac OS version ?
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 4 - will not work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.1.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’09 v. 8.0.6, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
    Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
    there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
    iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
    to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

    I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.

  • IMovie version 10 and software update - an issue

    When checking 'Software Update' within Mavericks why does iMovie v10 continually keep coming up as an install - when it has been installed?

    It does sound like something must be misconfigured somewhere (or corrupted).
    I did a little digging, and found some documents about trouble-shooting this problem with older versions of OS X.
    You might work through the suggestions and trouble-shooting steps to see if any of them help to pin-point or repair the problem.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106291
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107299
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25725
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107136
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    The one about "pinging" the server first might be an interesting thing to try.
    Let me know if anything proves helpful or causes it to work.
    It could be an isolated bug, or just a corrupt file.
    Unfortunately, the only way to re-install just the Software Update would be if Apple had recently released an update just for that program. But, I haven't seen one of those since OS 10.0.
    They have wrapped an update for it into many "Security Updates". But, at this point all of those are going to be older than 10.4.7.
    Hope this helps.

  • Error message with Software Update

    Hi everyone. I'm getting the following error message when trying to download some items via Software Update:
    "None of the checked updates could be saved. A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again."
    This is for the following downloads:
    iPhoto 7.1.4
    iDVD 7.0.2
    iMovie 7.1.4
    Security Update 2008-005
    Any ideas? I have no problems with Internet access at all. I'm running a new 24" Intel iMac 3.06 GHz with Mac OS 10.5.4
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi baltwo.
    I was able to manually download the iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie updates from the Apple website and install them with no problem.
    After I downloaded the Security Update 2008-005 and tried to install it I get the following error message:
    "You cannot install Security Update 2008-005 (Intel) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
    Is this why the other downloads were prevented? I've never had problems with Software Update before.

  • Software Update Fails to Install iLife 09 Updates...

    I have a Macbook with all the most recent updates installed, and computer otherwise running smoothly.
    I had purchased iLife 11 (and since gave it away to a friend) but was very disappointed with the upgrade, and for various reasons decided to go back to the original iLife 09 that my computer came with.
    I had already successfully made the downgrade on my Macbook Pro, by deleting the apps, all its related preference files etc I found by searching my computer. When I went to do the same on my Macbook, I was also able to delete and reinstall iLife 09 without a hitch, but when I got to the point where I ran Software Update is where I ran into some issues...
    Software Update recognizes that I have iLife 09 installed, and tells me there are updates to iDVD, iWeb, iMovie and iPhoto totalling some 272MB. Everything downloads fine, starts to install but hangs for a few minutes on "Validating Packages" and soon after I get an error message that "None of the updates were installed" citing an "Unexpected Error". What gives?
    I have tried the update a few times, after restarts, fixing permissions from Disk Utility, and searched the web for an answer, and come up empty...
    Any help in getting this issue resolved would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Start by bypassing Software update and downloading the updates directly from Apple Support;
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL803
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL842
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1009

    Install one at a time, repair permissions when all done.

  • Is anybody else having issues with Software Update Server offering Airport Utility 6.1?

    Running 10.7.3. Everything else is hunky dorry, but no matter what I do, I can't get this update to show up to clients.
    Settings are set to:
    NOT automatically copy and updates from Apple (but this update shows the blue circle reflecting it's copied)
    NOT automatically enabled copied updates (but this update has the checkbox enabled)
    DELETE outdated software updates (I had previosly been struggling with Choose Version, but this seems to obviate the need for that)
    I've stopped swupd, removed the update, updated the catalog, re-enabled. The catalog updated, the file re-downloaded, but still.... won't show up to clients.
    Is this update (Airport Utility 6.1) working for anyone else? Could it be a global issue related to this update, or is this just another instance of swupd flakiness?

    You can still use iDVD even though Apple doesn't support it. It still works like a champ.
    A lot has changed in the new iMovie. Some of the changes are good, but some not so much. My biggest problem is that the video quality of shared projects is INFERIOR to the old iMovie. So for now, I've gone back to the old version. Hopefully Apple will issue an update that will fix this.

    It sounds simplistic, but restart your computer if you have not already done so. I looked, but could not find that particular error code.

  • Software Update reports bundled apps cannot be updated because they are associated with a different Apple ID

    New MacBook Pro 15" Retina arrived today.
    Software Update reports that updates are available for iPhoto and iMovie, bundled with purchase.
    However, when UPDATE is selected, the error message
    "You have updates available for other accounts.
    To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."
    I am the initial user and have no other account.

    Any chance you had a different Apple ID with an earlier Mac and then it got migrated to your new MBP?
    When you registered new MBP did you use the same Apple ID?

  • Is there any upcoming software updates for the version 10.5.8? Also how do I backup my mac?

    I really want to update my mac to the new version of Snow Leopard or Lion but to my understanding I must buy the disks to update it. However I feel like buying a macbook pro to my replace my mid-2009 white macbook, once I graduate so I could use it for college (which is 2 years from now and I'm saving up for it).
    Also how do I backup my mac (hardrive)? I'm quite lost. I'm told that I must use Time Machine, but how? Do I use a CD to back up? Some external drive and if yes where could I buy one?
    P.S. I'm a newbie with tech stuff. I'm no genius with it so I suggest to take it slow with me. PLUS there's no Apple Store here to help me out.
    My quetions in a nutshell:
    1) Upcoming software updates? *secretly wishes they were FREE*
    2) Backing up my hardrive?
    My Mac
      - Version 10.5.8 with a 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    The 2.13Ghz MacBook is a Mid 2009 model 5,2 http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-core-2-duo-2.13-whit e-13-mid-2009-nvidia-specs.html
    There will be no updates for 10.5. it's been out of production for 3 years. You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive.  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    You can upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.5 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/  You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any third party Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/ 
    To upgrade your iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
    You can upgrade from 10.4 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/  You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any third party Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/ 
    Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • Software update server- 10.4.8 fails to update

    Hello all,
    I have a software update server and perticular updates fail when run on client computers. I have just been stuck disabling them in Server Admin. What is the easiest way to fix this. Some updates in peticular are 10.4.8 and different logic updates. Could these pkgs have become corrupted and need to be re-added to the /usr/share/swupd/html/ directory?
    thank you!

    Hi, I was wondering if you had made any progress on this problem. I have spent some time tonight looking at the update_list.txt file that the Apple Knowledge Base article shows you how to generate. I know for sure that the 10.4.8Combo updater is one that fails to install. I have noticed something that i cannot explain and would be interested to see if you see the same. Below is an excerpt from the .txt file. I noticed that some updates do not follow the folder numbering structure that the others do. The 10.4.8 Combo updater, along with a few others, begin with zzz. Any ideas on this?
