Missing GarageBand and  iMovie apps

Recently I re-installed the OS X Lion of my Macbook and found the GarageBand and imovie apps missing.  How and where can I get them back?

I am afraid all apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.

    Application Updates from the update icon currently cost nothing. Anything on the App Store that costs money will have a button to buy in Blue with the price in the button.

  • Had to erase and re-install. No longer can find Garageband and other apps. Where can I re-doanload these?

    I have had this mac for years. It's one of the very first Macbook Pro models with Intel processor.
    It originally came with OS X, and I have the install disk here. I upgraded to Snow Leopard when it came out.
    Recently my disk failed and I had to Erase it and do a complete re-install. I assumed Garageband, and iMovie and a few other apps I used semi-regularly would be in the Optional Installs. I started from scratch, installed OS X and then installed Snow Leopard on top of it, installing the "Optional Installs" each time.
    No copy of Garageband and these other useful apps appeared.
    I can not download Garageband from the Apple site because each time I do it claims I need to have Garageband already installed. But since my complete reinstall did not install those, I'm stuck without these apps I once had.
    How can I get these re-installed properly like they once were?
    I just want my Macbook Pro back to where it was earlier this week before the disk failed.

  • GarageBand and iMovie not installing after restore

    Hello,
    I have an iPad 2, it had GarageBand and iMovie installed before iOS 5.1 no problems.
    I updated to iOS 5.1 and it was all fine...2 days later I am listening to a podcast and suddenly the audio cut out.  I tried playing music and video and still nothing! So I tried all the obvious stuff restarting etc and eventually had to run a full restore from my backup.
    This finally worked and my audio is back but now iTunes will not install iMovie or GarageBand despite the fact I own them and I have the latest iOS. If I go to iTunes on iPad and lookup the software it come up with the cost instead of the expected "install" option.
    I would also confirm I had already had everything synced correctly.
    Any suggestions? I don't fancy another 2 hours restoring my iPad again!

    Sometimes when you update the software, the settings seem to go a little wacky and simple things like restarts, resets, and signing in and out of your ID can cure so many little issues. When I've updated in the past, I have had little issues that could not be logically explained - at least in my mind. So I start with the simple stuff.
    I'm glad that you were able to download and install the apps again.

  • IPod Touch 64GB activated October 2013 - how do I get the free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps?

    I purchased (from an authorised seller - Dixons Duty Free, Heathrow) and activated an iPod Touch 64GB on 18th October 2013 (prior to the announcement of free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps but after the 1st Sepember 2013 date in their conditions). It had iOS6 preinstalled. I've updated to iOS7. How do I get the free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps? The App Store is trying to charge me for theese.

    Problem solved from information found in another thread....
    If your iOS device was activated for the first time after September 1, go to the App Storeon your iPod which should open to Featured. If not, tap on Featured at the lower left of the screen & scroll down to Collections & tap on New to the App Store? then scroll down to Apps Made by Apple & tap. You should now see the iWork & iLife apps as "FREE."

  • Missing iPhoto and iMovie

    I rebooted my MacBook Pro OS X Version 10.9.4 and now my iPhoto and iMovie are missing. I don't have iLife disks because they didn't come with my laptop also tried looking for it in purchases on the App store not there and I didn't set up Time Machine so can't use that either. Is there any way I can restore them?

    In the App Store click on Purchases and see if you can download from there.

  • Can't update preinstalled iPhoto and iMovie Apps.

    Hi,
    Finally converted to Mac for the first time upon receiving a shiny new Macbook Pro yesterday morning, however I have encountered a slightly annoying problem already.
    I have notifications in the App store to say that iPhoto and iMovie need updating. These came preinstalled on my new MBP. When I try to update however, I get an error message asking me to sign up to the account from which I purchased them.
    I did look on this forum and saw that this is a common-ish problem, and that usually a fix can be found in instances where these Apps are pre-installed by going into the purchases tab on the App store and 'accepting' the iLife Apps. However, when I click that tab I'm told I haven't yet purchased anything. When I go into System Pref. and Users, my admin account is linked to my Apple ID there, so I can't see why the preinstalled Apps are not showing up on my purchase record so can 'accept' them and thus update.
    As I'm new to Mac I just thought I'd post here in case I'm missing something pretty basic that would solve this issue, if not I'll get in touch with Apple.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Since you are new to Apple, have you ever actually established an iTunes/Mac App Store account with this Apple ID and/or made a purchase with it?

  • HT4623 Why can I not get the iPhoto and iMovie apps for free on my new iPad air

    I have an iPhone 5 but just got an iPad air for Christmas. I didn't realize I set my iPad up under another Apple ID until my phone was not syncing with my iPad so I erased all content and reset the device to put them both on the same Apple ID. The problem I'm having now is the apps that are supposed to be free like iPhoto and iMovie are saying I have to pay 4.99 for them how do I fix this problem. Cause I did have them installed when I had it set up under the other Apple ID name :(
    Thank you

  • My apple id will not allow Garageband and iMove to update?

    OSX 10.7.7
    Imac
    Doing a software update the Store Application asked for my Apple ID which was fine except it updated only iPhoto.  It will not update Garageband or iMove because its says that I am using the wrong Apple Id??  Is there a way to delete this preference so it will finish the job???

  • What is(are) the difference(s) between iphoto and imovie apps for the imac as against ipad3?

    What is (are) the difference(s) between iphoto/imovie apps for the ipad as against imac?

    The Mac version would be more complex and be able to do more stuff, while the iPad version can do more simple things due to the lower processing power and the fact that it's an iPad.

  • Lost Garageband and other apps when hardrive was replaced. How can I get them back?

    I lost a few mac apps when I had to have my harddrive replaced..........since it went out and it was under a factory recall. And when they replaced it they couldn't get everything off the hard-drive. So is there a way I can get the apps back.

    There are several ways to get those iLife and other App's from your original Disc Set.
    1. May or may not be an option, but at least get an estimate to replace your Optical SuperDrive from the local Apple Store or AASP.
    > Apple - Find Locations
    2. Buy a Mac compatible External DVD Drive.
    > LG 24x External DVD Drive GE24LU20
    > OWC Drive Solutions
    > LaCie
    3. Disk Sharing.

  • How can i download an older version of garageband and iMovie?

    I have my MacBook updated to the latest version it can be. OS X 10.7.5 I want to download iMovie and garageband but i can't since I need a newer software version. Is there a way to download an older version of the 2 apps?

    What you wish to do can't currently be done in the Mac App Store. There are rumors older versions may be available in the future.

  • Im not satasfied with 6.0 i miss youtube and some apps are slower, facebook wants premission to access my contacts, and how do i use apple tv feature with out mirroring?

    Im not satasfied with 6.0, i miss youtube, some apps are slower, facebook wants premission to access my contacts, and how do i use apple tv feature with out mirroring?

    That is awesome, works perfectly.
    I'll get it worked into my main script. Is this Action Manager code, and not just regular Javascript from the Scripting Dictionary? I can't tell the difference. I'll see whether or not it's actually faster than Applescript.
    Thanks. I know Scripting Listener records a bunch of stuff, but it's pretty amazing to me that playing back this line does the same thing that playing back the 1,011 lines Scripting Listener puts out.
    Thanks.

  • GarageBand and iMovie Not Opening

    Hello All,
    I have an iBook Dual USB running 10.4.3. When I try to open iMovie or GarageBand, it bounces in the dock 2 to 6 times, but then it doesn't do anything. No triangle under it or anything. So what is causing this? I have reset the PRAM, and PMU. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    What is the overall capacity of the hard drive?
    Have you done any hard drive maintenance lately? If not, try booting into Safe Mode. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
    You will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
    Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). Repair permissions on it.
    See if a little hard drive maintenance helps things out. I don't think this will help you out with the iLife applications, but it may quicken your performance a bit.
    Still, if you are running Tiger with only 192 MB of RAM, that will certainly slow things down.

  • IPad air 8.1.3 erased everything and now my numbers, keynotes, and iMovie apps are gone and not redownloadable for free

    I factory reset my iPad air and now I don't have apps like numbers, keynote, or imovies. Is it supposed to be like that's? When I try to re download it it makes me pay. What should I do to get the apps back for free? doesnt it come with the iPad?

    You are using the same iTunes account that you downloaded them with, and you haven't moved countries since downloading them ? You could check to see if you've hidden them : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
