IPhoto and iMovie won't update on my MacBook Pro OS 10.8.3

I have a MacBook Pro, s/n W8******AGZ, running OS 10.8.3. Ever since the last update of 10.8.2 I've been having problems updating my iPhoto software. Now, just recently, iMovie won't update either.
What is an Apple community guy supposed to do now??? Please anyone with easy to do answers?

I was trying to update iphoto 9.4.3, through the app store. then this message comes up
you have updates available for other accounts
to update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.
i'm the only one on my mac. i only have 1 itunes account so it has nothing to do with any UserID issue. i tried reindexing spotlight. This has been an issue for about a month now. Then i deleted iPhoto app and securely emptied the trash. All my software was in my macbook pro when it was shipped to me Feb. 2011. These are the two software, in question. iMovie is giving me the same message now.
apple software - iWork 065-7672 no iWork preinstalled
apple software - final cut exp 065-7674 no final cut express (from my Apple receipt)
I hope I gave you all the answers you need to help me, Thank you, TD

IPhoto and iMovie won't update. Repeated Thunderbolt update req.

Hi,
Since downloading Mavericks last night:
1.) Both iPhoto and iMovie updates fail to download- they get to almost halfway and then an error pops up that it can't be completed.
2.) Additionally, I am getting a repeated Thunderbolt firmware update 1.2 no matter how many times i update and restart.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

IPhoto and iMovie won't update

I have a refurbished Macbook Pro and when I try to update iPhoto and iMovie it says To update this appliction, sign into the account you used to purchase it. I have only had one apple ID. Does anyone know how to sort this out so that I can update these 2 apps. Thanks

Updated to Yosemite, no problem. now iPhoto and iMovie won't open. Says I need to update software however, when i try to update indicates my User ID and PW won't work for these two pieces of software. User ID and PW works everywhere else.

I am having the same problem. I even changed my password and updated all of my security information. Now it just gives me an error and retry message, which of course also does not work. Went to support and was going to open a chat (seemed the simpler option) and received a message that my support has expired for this serial number unless I want to pay $29.00. So I chose the option to call later, which was the exact time suck I was trying to avoid. Why wouldn't the new operating system also update the apps that were already part of my old platform?

IPhoto and iMovie can't update

OK, so, in 2011 I think, my grandparents bought two MacBook Pro 13" laptops... Last year, they gave one of them to me, as my grandpa couldn't use his any more. Recently I realized that I hadn't been updating my software (hadn't used a Mac in forever before that) and ran updates through the app store. Everything went through ok except for iPhoto and iMovie. They ask me for my grandma's Apple ID password, which of course I don't know. I finally asked her today, and she said that not only does she not know the password for the Apple ID associated with the apps, but that the ID doesn't even exist any more! Is there any way to release those apps from her ID and assign them to mine so I can update them?

The issue is that neither of the Macs being sold in 2011 came with the Mac App Store versions of the iLife apps. But it is important to know which Mac it is and which iLife apps that you have installed.
To know the Mac model, go to the Apple menu, choose About This Mac and then choose More Info... What model and year is listed?
What is the version of iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand that is installed?

IMovie and iPhoto won't update on Used Macbook Pro Retina

I purchased a used macbook pro retina and did the usually initial setup for the laptop. My issue is that these two stock apps won't update in the app store. I recieve a message asking me to login using the ID that was used to purchase the app. I am assuming this is the ID of the previous owner , which of course I do not have. Any Ideas ???

The MBP needs to be disassociated from the original owners Apple ID. The original owner needs to call Apple Care to request that. Or if you have a sales receipt that proves you legally have purchased the MBP they may do it for you.
Then the MBP needs to be wiped clean and the most recent version of OS X that shipped with the Mac installed using OS X Recovery. You can also reinstall the iLife apps, which you should accept into your Apple ID in the Mac App Store on the Purchaes pane.

Photoshop and illustrator won't work in my macbook pro

i tried installing photoshop and illustrator and can't seem to open the applications. i keep getting messages to reinstall the applications. is anyone else having these problems or is it just me? i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. i was told that rosetta would help run these programs and they won't run.

I am using a MacPro, for 3 weeks now. I use CS1. When setting up the new computer it asked me if I wanted to copy data from another Mac. It was quick--did about 50 GB of data in under 2 hours--and I was able to instantly continue with my normal routine. It was WONDERFUL!
I've been using Illustrator a good bit since then and less so Photoshop. I've been having lots of crashes with Illustrator. It doesn't seem to play too well with Rosetta. But I know crashes are not uncommon for Illustrator on other operating systems and hardware. I was previously running CS1 on a G4 with 10.4.4 and had few problems with the programs. I've been reminded of the importance of frequent saving. I lost a file last week that was damaged beyond repair after the program crashed while the file was being saved.
Among applications that are legacy that I transferred to the new machine, Illustrator 10 and Photoshop 6 can both be opened on the machine, but I haven't done any test runs to see what happens. Illustrator kept trying to reopen files (using Open Recent File) with AI 10 instead of AI CS1, which was really strange, so I'm not using that feature. Much Classic/Carbon software I own will not run at all on the MacPro (QuarkXpress 5, Flash 5 included).
I think that Illustrator CS1 on the MacPro is more fitful. I use it with Panther on a G5 at work and it's relatively stable. I also did a software update yesterday that included a firmware update for the MacPro. I noticed things were much more stable on the machine last night, but it's too early to say that it partially or completely solved these operability problems.
I think we're just all on riding the new wave. There's bound to be some problems. Same thing happened when we all moved from OS 9 to OS 10, and with every interim upgrade some issues arise.

My iPad and iPhone won't connect to my macbook pro

I have just got a new macbook pro and iPad and when I go to connect my iphone and ipad to the macbook it says that they do not have the most up to date itunes. I have updated both and I have checked the software and they both have 10.5.1 but it still won't connect.... can anyone help!!

all devices have the correct, up to date software. When I connect my iPhone or iPad into MBP, it says… The iPhone “Ellen Heathwood’s iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.5 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.

How to transfer iphoto and itunes libraries from NAS back to MacBook Pro

I recently upgraded my MBP hard drive, and decided I'd like to move my iphoto and itunes libraries back to my local drive from my Synology NAS. I thought this would be easily achieved by copying the libraries from the NAS and pasting them in the desired locations in the MBP, as I did to get them to the NAS in the first place. This will not work.
First off, when I try a simple copy and paste through finder, the transfer gets about half way through and suddenly stops with "You can't copy "iPhoto Library" because it has the same name as another item in the destination volume, and that volume doesn't distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames".
This occurs even if there is no Iphoto directory currently on the MBP.
I contacted Synology, and they attempted to have me use a windows transfer protocol to transfer the libraries, but when transferring this way I am stopped half way through with an "Error -8084" code.
I am aware that the MBP is formatted with MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and that the NAS is formatted differently, but there must be some way to get this back.
My itunes library contains all my family's ipad, and iphone back ups, in addition to around 35 gb of music. Additionally, I don't want to lose Event info in Iphoto.
Please help!
Thank you

Mac OSXIPDT 10_5_6 & 10_5_7 still won't update in my MacBook Pro ?????

It has been a while since I cant update to 10.5.6 & 10.5.7 , Every time I get close to download it i get it to stop and the message is download timed out . I am not sure how i will be able to update my Mac . Do any one thinks that if I will write Apple @ 1 Infinite Loop Cupertino ,Ca 95014 they will send me the upgrade on a CD ?
I have my Ilife Upgrade purchased from Apple but it needs 10.5.6 to be able to install in my MacBook Pro 15" as well as safari 4 .
Regards
sam

All you need is the 10.5.7 combo updater. Get it from here:

If it's still a problem stop by an Apple store or AASP and bring a blank DVD or USB flash drive with you.

My third party keyboard and mouse won't connect to my MacBook Pro

I recently purchased an Insignia keyboard and mouse combo. I'm trying to connect them to my MacBook Pro and they refuse to respond. On the box and online it said that this combo was Mac compatible. I am running OSX 10.9.4.

Sorry i should have mentioned that; i already have installed the drivers. I have the little boot camp console thingy and the display became to the right resolution after installing the drivers, so i know i have. Its something else, Windows based i think.

HT1338 my tv shows and movies won't play on my MacBook Pro display due to HDCP

As of today, I cannot play my movies or televison shows on my MacBook Pro. They have always played before and my software is up to date. The dialogue box shows "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."

Hi, bgrieb.
Thank you for visitng Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like these shows are in a HD format and are not supported on the iPhone 3gs. I would recommend downloading the SD version of these shows and then sync these to your device.
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device

Different apple id shows for updates on mac for iPhoto and iMovie

Hi, on my Mac there are two updates available for iPhoto and iMovie however the update requires me to use my old apple ID which I no longer use. I have checked iTunes, iCloud and the App store and my current apple ID is used for all of them. I don't understand why my old apple ID keeps showing up, I can't sign out of it because it doesn't give me that option.
I'm really confused, please help me out!!!

Those applications have the old Apple ID stored inside them. It can't be changed without deleting them and then redownloading them from the desired Apple ID; in the case of preloaded applications, you may also need to contact Apple. This can be done by going to the Mac App Store main page and clicking on Support under Quick Links.
