It won't download my imovie and iphoto updates?

I had my mac restored recently and ever since I have had issues updating software from my app store.
For some reason it thinks that my applications have been purchased by another user id or computer?
I can download perfectly well from the apple website though.
I just want to find a way to delete the updates without downloading or to start downloading them so that I can delete them.
At the moment I can't download or delete them and it's frustrating.
I have no viruses that I know of. None of my old documents were put on my restored mac but it's still having issues.
I previously think I had the flashback virus. I had problems with viewing images on websites and certain websites on safari and google chrome.
Although now that's fixed.
I also have a lot of internet network problems with Telstra.
My internet is currently really slow due to networking issues but that is another thing that I don't think is influencing this.

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.

IMovie and iPhoto updates require another Apple ID: Help?

I recently updated to Maverick, and iMovie and iPhoto required an Apple ID login to update. However, after entering my Apple ID, it then asked for an Apple ID of a user who used to have an account on my Macbook, but it has since been deleted. The Apple ID box is grayed out, so only the other Apple ID will work, and so I can't update with my own ID. I have tried logging out and back in again, but it doesn't change it. Help please???

IMovie and iPhoto updating repeatedly?

A few weeks ago I installed iMovie update 10.0.7. As far as I could tell there was nothing wrong with the update but later on the exact same update came back up as available in app store. I installed it again and yet again the same thing happened. I've installed it 10 times now but it still comes up as available. It's really annoying and the same thing started happening with iPhoto when 9.6.1 of that came out. Was wondering if the same has happened to anyone else and if there's anything I can do to fix it? I've installed other updates like the most recent Safari and security update without this issue, and tried uninstalling both programs but they still came up as available updates when they weren't on my computer.

Okay. Is there information there that would allow anyone to help you?

I can't download garageband, iMovie and iPhoto because it says that the apps were already assigned to another apple id

I reinstalled the mac os and when I open the app utility, it shows that I have these three apps ready for download. I sign in with my apple id, but the dowload is blocked because it says that they have been assigned to another apple id. This probable refers to the previous owner. Apple support (phone) stated that after the reinstall, the apps should be available to me. Any ideas anyone?

It certainally is a mess. The other previous owners Apple ID is associate with the Mac, and best buy just reboxed it without checking anything apparently. I would call them and complain and see what they say. Also, call AppleCare and tell them you recieved incorrect information last time you called. They have a record of the last time you called and why. They need to help you. This is not your fault.

IMovie and iPhoto full download over and over again

I have this strange bug, iMovie and iPhoto will for no reason auto download over and over and over, in the screenshot below you can see I have to identical download of iMovie; when they were downloading I can see they are the same file size 1.94GB.
I have 2 App Store accounts, so I thought maybe App Store got confused and tried to give me 2 copies, some bug like that, but nope, today iMovie almost completely downloaded again, it was over half done when I saw and stopped it. iPhoto too tried to download again as well. They started download when I was doing the iTunes 11.1.3 update, so after I signed into my Apple ID.
Additional info, iMovie and iPhoto is not listed in the Available Updates page, I have cleared it from my Purchased page and don't see them there.
On the screenshot below, please disregard the Error Occured and the Apps folder being stuck with the download bar, those cleared after a reboot, my problem is with repeated mystery download of iMovie and iPhoto. Is there a way to stop this?

Try removing the iMovie and iPhoto apps from your Applications folder. (You might save them elsewhere, but if it were me, I would simply move them to trash and not empty the trash yet.)
Then hopefully you can find them again under the App Store "Purchased" tab with a "Download" prompt next to them, and/or on the "Updates" tab.

Imovie and iPhoto is not free!!!

I can't download the iMovie and Iphoto on my ipad air, i tried to register and erase my ipad air but it didn't work. any suggestion??

New devices activated after Sep 1, 2013 and running iOS 7 or later will qualify for the free iWork suite (Pages, Keynote, & Numbers). iPhoto, and iMovie (which are not part of iWork) are also free. If you activated your device before Sep 1, 2013, your device does not qualify.
Try this:
Go here to verify your device registration (you'll need to login using your Apple ID credentials):
https://supportprofile.apple.com/
You can view your registered device(s) here and if there are any you've missed registering, you can do that as well. You can also register new devices here. Afterwards, visit the App Store and your free apps should be available to you.
*IF* this does not work, continue as follows:
Log out of the iTunes Store on your device:
Settings>iTunes & App Store...tap your Apple ID, then select "Sign Out"
Reset your device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
After the device has restarted, sign back in to the App Store as above. Try to download the apps again from the App Store.

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?

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.

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.

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.

After installing Yosemite iMovie and iPhoto doesn't work and won't update?

iMovie and iPhoto won't work or update after installation of Yosemite
message reads
This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

IMovie and iPhoto won't run after Migration Assistant

After I used Migration Assistant to transfer my PowerPC files and apps. to my new Intel Mac, iMovie and iPhoto won't open. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks!

sorry, if you have a new mac it should come with the new version of iLife which is what you want to install. My bad. So, insert the istall DVD that came with your new Mac. On that DVD there should be a directory called Optional Installs which should contain a .mpkg file for installing iLife (I don't have an install disk handy so I don't remember the name of the file). double click on that file and it will guide you through the installation process.

Hello,

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?
