Macbook pro not updating IMovie

My macbook pro recently updated to os x 10.9.1. It had problems doing so. The updates page says it is done, but it will not accept an IMovie update which requires 10.9.1 to be installed first. Any suggestions?

I did a safe boot and reinstalled 10.9.1. All ok now.

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to Mavericks OS. The screen died and it's not worth replacing. How do I remove the hard drive and use a drive sled to access info I need?

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to the Mavericks OS. The screen died and I took it into an Apple store and was told replacing the screen and the hardware to repair everything would cost almost as much as buying a new laptop or a cheaper model. I was told that I can use a drive sled to access data I need on my hard drive. How do I remove my hard drive and use a drive sled to get to the information I need? What makes matters more complicated is I need to update my iPhone and my iTunes/App store purchases. How can I accomplish this?
My wife has a late 2008 Macbook Pro as well, which I am assuming I need to run my hard drive. Is there a way to just access just my hard drive without interfering with hers?
I know this is lengthy. Thanks to whoever looks at this and offers advice/instruction.

the device you need is an External enclosure for a 2.5" (laptop form factor) SATA drive.
A USB-interface enclosure will be slow, but is adequate for this task and for re-purposing as a backup drive later. A firewire-interface drive would be faster, but is harder to find, more expensive, and faster than needed for this purpose.
The drive will mount as an "extra" drive on your wife's Macbook, and you can drag and drop whatever you wish. You could create a separate Account for yourself on her computer, and use Migration Assistant or just copy your stuff over to the new account. Then it would not interfere with her files.

Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated the system to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. Why and what am I supposed to do?

Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated it from Lion to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. They also didn't put Pages, Keynote or Numbers back on it until I argued with them. Of course, I didn't have my data backed up. My hard drive was destroyed when I tried to install the update of Mavericks myself. I should not have to buy iWeb and iPhoto when I already had them. Suggestions?

cwhargrave,
have you tried looking in the App Store, to see if you can redownload iWeb and iPhoto there gratis?
If you haven’t done so already, you should purchase an external hard drive to act as a Time Machine backup destination, so that you’ll have an option to rollback to a working environment if a new OS installation is troublesome.

I have programmed iCal and Address book to sync via MobileMe. The info I type in iCal and Address Book on the MacBook Pro gets updated on the iPad, but not the other way around. Any hints?

Levi G B ... Also found another thread by Davidfromsurfside on 10/14/11 0703A with the same problem. I responded on his thread "I have the same problem. IOS5 on iPad1, iPad2 and iPhone4S all with iCloud on. Lion 10.7.2 installed on my MacBookPro and iCloud set up/on. Any new iCal entry on either iPad or on the iPhone ends up via iCloud on both iPads and iPhone. BUT NOT ON THE MacBookPro. And iCal entry on the MacBookPro does NOT GET SENT to iCloud.com or to either iPad or the iPhone. This is a huge problem for me because I do all my office scheduling on the iPad or iPhone but rely on the MakeBookPro to print out daily client lists. I REALLY need to get this fixed...it is causing major business issues. " No one so far has had a fix.... :(

I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them to upload to youtube but it won't let me import them.

I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them so i can upload them to youtube but it won't let me import them, even after changeing them to MP4 format, it just comes up with the message: "No Importable Files None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again."
Ive even tried opening in itunes and copying from thier but they wont open in Itunes, no message or anything they simple just dont open. its strange because it does open in quicktime player.
please if anyone has any ideas that can help me please let me know XD thanks.

First problem: You're fine. The hotter it gets, the more the fans spin up. The computer is designed so that at max load, at max fan speed, it won't overheat (unless it's obstructed by something, e.g. sitting on your bed swallowed by a comforter). It's not the best thing to keep it that toasty for days at a time, but a couple hours at a time shouldn't be a problem.
Second problem: If something in the trash won't delete, just use Secure Empty Trash and it should be fine. Since .torrent files are quite small, it should only take a couple seconds.

MacBook Pro firmware update after erase & install

Hi,
I just tried to update from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11 with software update last night and got the error message a lot of people have been experiencing, then, got stuck at the apple logo with the never-ending spinning wheel... well... tried repairing disk, permissions, everything, but didn't work...
Now I reinstalled OS X with the dvd that came with my pro (10.4.6) and I noticed that when I run softwarte update, a specific MacBook Pro firmware update and some battery update didn't show up, does that mean I already have it? because it is firmware, the installation of OS X didn't erase it?
And to all those out there stuck at the boot screen, I'm trying the manual combo update (downloading from apple.com) and will tell if this works (thank god I backed up everything!)

Good Morning,
To answer your firmware question, yes. Once applied a firmware update is burned into the chip on the device being updated and is not subject to being removed with an operating system, the only way to change that firmware is to update it with something else.
You should be fine that they aren't showing up because, as you said, you already have them. 

I also saw that it was up online but without any information as to what it's updating I'm holding off. My MBP is working fine and I'll let those who want to be on the bleeding edge d/l and try it before I opt for it.
I wish apple posted what the update is doing on these things instead of just saying its recommended. Its not like I need to know what line # is being updated within a given module, but rather that's fixing this issue, or that issue.

Macbook Pro Firmware update 1.5.1

So every single time I have done a software update I have gotten this Macbook Pro Firmware update. I always have the firmware update checked and it never goes away.
My current firmware boot version is: MBP31.0070.B02
the software update says this:
This update fixes several issues to improve the stability of MacBook Pro computers.
After the firmware is successfully applied to your Mac, your Boot ROM Version will be:
MBP21.00A5.B08 or MBP31.0070.B07
So the firmware never gets installed. Whats up with this?

Please excuse me if this seems a stupid question but I am a little confused by the various Apple software upgrades, I take the automatic upgrades as and when I receive notification. It is the firmware upgrades I do not fully understand, am I correct in assuming that this is a manual upgrade by the computer owner ? I own a 1st generation MBP the Boot rom ? version I have is MBP11.0055.B08, I would like to know if the new version 1.5.1 is suitable or a requirement for my machine or only for more modern versions of the MBP ?

MacBook Pro SMC Update 1.6 - Freeze

Hi all,
Facts:
model: MacBookPro8,1
OS: OS X 10.7.5
Story:
i got a Macbook Pro 8,1 (13,3" Early 2011) which worked flawlessly - until yesterday.
Yesterday I decided to install the MacBook Pro SMC Update 1.6 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1626) - a bit unusual for me, since i normally wait a few weeks until others tried such an update. I did nothing in parallel on my mac, just the update. After the installation process i rebooted my system to finish the update process, the scm update installation run, everything seemed to went fine.
But shortly after the login process, my System froze and i had to hard shutdown my macbook. The first 3 or 4 attempts to only switch on my computer i got only a flashing indicator led, as usual, but not display output, no start sound, nothing. I waited a few minutes, tried again, the system started to boot until the login window, but i had no time to input my credentials - the system froze again.
Since a got a bit computer experience, it's my day job, i first thought of a bad RAM. So i replaced it with two totally new ones (Corsair Mac Memory) and some older original Apple RAM, but nothing changed. I did the same with the harddisk, even i don't think it's related to a harddrive failure because of the symptoms, while trying to install a fresh OS - the system froze again.
After that i tried everything Apple proposed: SMC reset multiple times, NVRAM/PRAM reset multiple times, but nothing helped in my case.
So the current state is as follows:
- The system freezes everytime, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. But normally within 10 seconds. (I observed, the longer the computer stays off, the later the freeze appears). After a hard shutdown, i've to wait a few minutes to get the computer to display anything.
- I read the log files after installing the harddrive to another computer (it works fine there), but there seems nothing special (i could post it, if somebody need it). The system just stops responding.
I think, it MUST be related to the MacBook Pro SMC Update 1.6, because i had no problems at all before this firmware update, problems started after it.
Is anybody out there, who has another suggestion for me, or has the same symptoms?
G,
NoWay

I have MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2010) and similar problem (gray screen, system not start, noisy fan, etc.)
I applied last SMC firmware update 1.6
as a result I have unworking MacBook Pro.
When I have been looking table http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 I am realised that link http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1626 on update for MacBookPro8,1 1.68f99 (SMC 1.6) and for MacBookPro7,1 1.62f7 (SMC 1.6) is same. And then I booted from Installation Disk1 with 10.6.4 and saw that my version of SMC is 1.68f99 instead 1.62f7.
In my opinion it's the main reason of our common problem. Apple released not correct SMC update and this update made briks from our MacBook Pro!!!

MacBook Pro Video Update 1.0 problem

I downloaded MacBook Pro Video Update 1.0 (Snow Leopard) and I am using Mac OS X Ver 10.6.8 however it alerts that this software is not supported on your system. I have the problem of black screen of death. I am using an extra display. I arranged mirrors displays so I can use the computer.
What should I do?
By the way I am in Turkey.

I went the authorized service in Ankara Turkey. They said they have to change whole screen and wanted to get 800$. Of course, I rejected. Then, they said they have a second hand display connector cable (which was the suspected piece for the problem) to replace for $80. I accepted and gave $80. Problem fixed! My computer is still working perfectly.

Apple MacBook/Pro Software Update 1.0?

On versiontracker.com, there is an update called Apple MacBook/Pro Software Update 1.0. The desciption says:
"This update enables file system journaling on MacBook and MacBook Pro notebook computers. Some MacBook and MacBook Pro systems were shipped with file system journaling turned off. Journaling is recommended on all Mac computers as a preventative measure against file corruption."
It is recommended for Mid 2007 MacBooks
I ran the Software Updater on my MacBook which I bought in June and this update did not come up as needed. Has anyone else installed this? If it does not come up in the Updater, does that mean I don't need it?
Thom

Thom you might try going to Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility->click on the name of your HD (probably something like "Macintosh HD" unless you renamed it) in the left had corner and look at the bottom of the window under "Format:" It should read "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" If that's the case then you probably don't need to worry about it.

MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1

I am having the same issue many others are having in regards to the MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 installing again, and again, and again, and again, ... Maybe you see the point.
I have browsed the Discussions, and tried some suggestions, (case sensitive) but it still installs, again and again, and again...
I am a little worried why Apple has not addressed this. This problem has existed since 12/18/2007. I think we have endured this long enough. If apple is not going to provide help, are there any users out there listening that have spent effort and found a solution.
I am all Ears!!!
Thanks, Steve

I have tried the solution listed here about case sensitive journaling. However, it did not help me.

MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 continues to appear

This has been the first really strange issue since I upgraded to Leopard. Ever since the MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 in Software Update, it continues to appear as if it was not installed. If I look at my installation log, it shows that I have installed it about 9 times since it was released. Here are the last few entries in my installation log:
2007-12-21 22:17:05 -0500: Installed "MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update" (1.1)
2007-12-21 22:17:59 -0500: Installed "Security Update 2007-009" (1.1)

2008-01-05 22:32:22 -0500: Installed "MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update" (1.1)
Is it safe to ignore this update? What is going on? Is there something wrong with my system? I haven't noticed any other problems.. I have no idea how Mac OS X determines if I need an update or not.

OK, here's what i did:
1) navigate to the: /Library/Updates sub-directory
(as in: "Macintosh HD" - "Library" folder - "Updates" folder
2) there should be a file named, "index.plist" - this is
the definition file for the update - i suspect this should
be removed by the Updater once the update is complete.
3) rename the file (don't delete it) ... i renamed the
file to, "index.plist.onhold"
you probably don't have to, but i rebooted the system, to
ensure nothing broke. afterwards, i did a "Software Update"
and it reported the system is up to date.

MacBook (Pro) Software Update 1.1 stays in the update application

As of the release of the MacBook (Pro) update to fix some keyboard/mouse issues (I didn't notice any problems) I'm not getting rid of the update in the updater:
It installs, reboots and pops up again. I've done this process several times now and if you go to
Preferences -> Softwareupdate -> Installed updates
it is there twice.
After the first time the update got installed, the MacBook was not able to reboot. It stuck in the bootup process and I removed power after approx 15 minutes with a black screen.
After that "forced" reboot, it worked like before - except the broken software update.
That's what I found in the logs, but I've no idea...

Anyone?

I have those same messages in the install.log.
My Software Update.log shows this:
2007-12-18 01:09:38 -0500: Installed "Security Update 2007-009" (1.0)
2007-12-24 12:18:26 -0500: Installed "Security Update 2007-009" (1.1)
After the first time the update got installed, the MacBook was not able to reboot. It stuck in the bootup process and I removed power after approx 15 minutes with a black screen.
Well, this is what fubar Software Update.
If you feel the update was installed properly, Software Update can be set to ignore the update.
