No iPhoto etc 10.7.4

Hi
Purchased an ex display mac book pro running Lion from a premium Apple reseller (UK).
There is no iPhoto/iMovie/Gargage band etc which were part of iLife.
The retailer tells me I should be able to download for free from the app store, but I am unable to this following the below instructions.
After installation, start from Lion. (not sure what this means?)
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.
At 5. above there is no "accept" states I have made no purchases.
Any ideas?
Many thanks

Have you registered that Mac to you on the Apple Website? If not do that. Then if need be Call Apple Customer Service and have them Reset the serial Number of that Mac to your Name and your Apple ID. After that you should be able to download the normally included Apps, iPhoto, iMovie and Garage Band, from the MAS for free.
They would be in your Pruchases area, not on the normal store pages.

  • Macbook a1181 cannot access System Preference or any apps such as Safari, iPhoto, etc.  How can I fix this?

    Hi, I recently purchased a used MacBook a1181 and cannot access anything.  I am new to Apple computers/laptops so I don't know if there is a simple solution or if it's maybe a HD problem?  I tried to go into System Preferences and nothing happens.  The dock (?) at the bottom also has a bunch of question marks. When I scroll over the question marks, I can see apps like Safari, iPhoto, etc. but I cannot open anything.  I also tried to go to About this Mac and can't get anywhere either.   Any ideas what could be wrong?

    " The dock (?) at the bottom also has a bunch of question marks"
    So usually that means that the applications are missing. It's like in a PC where the "Short Cut" link is broken.
    "When I scroll over the question marks, I can see apps like Safari, iPhoto, etc. but I cannot open anything."
    So just like when shortcuts are broken and for the same reason: applications are moved, renamed etc.
    and with this:
    "I also tried to go to About this Mac and can't get anywhere either. "
    Probably a bad install.
    "When I tried to re-install the OS, the disc would spin and then eject.  I tried several different installation CDs and even an external DVD player and each time the CD ejected out without installing. "
    What disks are you using? The originals would be Tiger and gray, 10.4.8 (Not the retail installer which would be 10.4.0.), Leopard, Snow Leopard. So 10.4.8 to 10.6.8 compatible.

    Hi Shauneenb,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you are having issues with multiple applications becoming unresponsive I would suggest the steps in the following article, including starting in safe mode.

  • I had somebody  work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now  Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail and Contacts  do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox and iPhoto etc. How do I get it fix I can still use Safari, Firefox and ed again?

    I had somebody  work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now  Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail (crashes) and Contacts  do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox, Word, Photoshop and iPhoto etc. How do I get the Apple programs fixed again?

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

  • Use 2 hdd for itunes, iphoto, etc...

    Well the latest 10.4.10 update has killed my hdd for some reason.
    System reboots but is stuck at the grey screen.
    I managed to add a smaller 80G sata drive and reinstall 10.4 on it.
    Doing this has allowed me access back the hdd I used to boot and run of off.
    So now I am running a quick iBackup all my important files, itunes, iphoto, etc....
    My question, though is I am thinking of leaving the 80G hdd as the main boot hdd, and then use the 250G as my main source for files.
    This is really how I ran my Windows machines (years ago).
    Main hdd for the OS only and a secondary for all my files.
    Is there a way to easily do this with OS X?
    Will this cause an issue with software updates?
    Can I tell itunes, iphoto, and other applications where to look for their main "library" without causing a duplication of files back on the main 80G hdd?

    Well, I ended up grapping a larger 160G hdd I had and reinstalling OS X again.
    I went and got all the updates for it, and then I ran migration manager.
    It pulled everything from my old hdd.
    So now I am up and running as good as new, but on a smaller hdd.
    I might try the moving of the iphoto and itunes folder like linked above.
    I would also like to do the same with the documents folder.
    You have a instruction for that as well?
    If not, that really best thing to do (unfortunately) would be to slick the original 250G hdd, reinstall, update (again) and then do the migration manager on it.

  • After I upgrade to Mav. will I need to pay to upgrade Pages, Numbers, iPhoto etc. again. I have the older versions.

    After I upgrade to Mav. will I need to pay to upgrade Pages, Numbers, iPhoto etc. again. I have the older versions.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It depends on the iLife (iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand) and iWork (Pages, Numbers and Keynote) versions you have.
    If you have got iLife '11 and iWork '09, you will be able to update the applications for free, but if you have got an older version, you will have to pay for them in the App Store

  • I've got duplicates of photos in "Photos", Photo stream, Iphoto etc. what is going on?

    I've go duplicates of photos on my devices in "Photos" and iPhoto that include icloud, Photo stream, camera roll, events, etc. etc. how do I manage theese duplicate files of photos?

    Welcome to the Apple Community bissellfl.
    If you mean the same photos appear in all these places, then that's what is supposed to happen. If you mean you have more than one of each photo in each album, then you' em possibly added them manually and had them add automatically. You'll need to remove them manually.

  • Getting iTunes, iPhoto, etc. data from OS 10.4.11 to new iPad2...

    Tried searching for this topic, but couldn't narrow down the results to less than 92, so decided to post. So if there is an answer to this, please point me to it.
    My main computer has OS 10.4.11. Because there is an important piece a software that will not work on higher OS's, I'm sticking with 10.4.11. I just got my iPad2 yesterday! The newest version of iTunes only works on OS 10.5 and above, so how do I get my iTunes library (including apps, movies, TV shows, pod casts, etc) and my iPhoto library from my OS 10.4.11 machine over to my new iPod2?
    Thanks.

    Without OS X 10.5.8 Leopard, you cannot run a more recent version of iTunes to sync and use with your iPad.
    You're pretty much dead in the water without it.
    My advice, instead of trying to find a copy of a retail disk online, try calling apple direct at
    1-800-MY APPLE and ask for internal sales.
    Apple may still have a stock of Leopard retail disks that they can sell to you and you'll pay Apple's original price of 129.99 plus any shipping costs to Alaska.
    This maybe your cheapest way to get a more updated OS X for use with your iPad.
    Unfortunately, that's the way it is.
    OS X Tiger is almost six years old now.
    Unless you can afford a new/newer Mac or you use your wife's MacBook Air, new devices by Apple will start having more recent, modern system requirements.
    There's going to come a time when Apple will no longer support 10.5 Leopard and a lot of new/newer software doesn't support older PowerPC Macs any longer.
    Anyone still on PowerPC Macs, including me, at some point, will no longer be supported and we'll all be screwed and will have to make a choice of whether to stay on dead computing hardware or purchase a new/newer Mac that will support new and upcoming Apple technologies.

  • Going from Mavericks back to Mountain Lion, how do I download the correct software versions from app store for apps like iPhoto etc.

    I have a somewhat older iMac and after installing Mavericks the computer slowed down and the harddrive died. I just got a new harddrive installed and they had trouble getting mavericks to work on it also so they installed Mountain Lion which I am pleased with. I have purchased apps from the app store such as iPhoto and Pages, etc. so I thought I would easily be able to download them for mountain lion. When I look for the apps to download on the app store it lists the versions I had with Mavericks. iPhoto for example says I can download it for free but in the compatibility sections it says it requires OS 10.9 or later. Where can I find and install versions of my software such as iPhoto and iLife that will work again with Mountain Lion?

    Try downloading an app. There are those here who believe that the MAS will determine that you have OS X Mt Lion and actually download the app that your kit needs.

  • Cannot install apps (IPhoto etc) after full OS reinstallation

    Hi All,
    After full MacOS reinstallation (10.6.4) I cannot install apps (IPhoto, IMovie, etc) from DVD - "Unknown error" ("Pls contact soft producer") just after admin password during instalation process.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Hello Carolyn,
    I've found finally your hint very usefull.
    Actuallu the full explanation is available here :
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3866345?start=0&tstart=0
    But what you've said is a part of it.
    So - all pending updates must be made (several restart and update check) - after that there is no more porblem with apps instalation.
    Thank you very much!
    Mark

  • File - Export from Preview, iPhoto etc does not work

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • My time machine backup of address book and iphoto etc wont open

    So I'm about to do a bunch of stuff on my computer and want to make sure that my time machine backups are going to be able to be restored and that I can unpartition my bootcamp drive safely. I will be downloading SnowLeopard, Parrallels, and some other software. I really want to make sure that certain apps, such as address book, iphoto, and itunes have been backed up correctly and that they will be able to be restored. When I opened my time machine backup folder and clicked on those three apps, it gave me an error code. I don't want to start doing all of the things listed above without being confident that I will be able to recover any stuff that may get lost. How do I accomplish this?
    Also, how do I unpartition my drive to get rid of Bootcamp?

  • IMovie, iPhoto etc.

    I currently have an iBook G4 running 10.3.9. My computer came with iMovie, iPhoto, iDvd, and Garage Band. I know that Tiger doesn't come with these programs, but I would like to know if I can carry over my older versions when I upgrade, and how to do it.

    Samusaaron,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    That is possible and it can be accomplished with an Archive and Install Upgrade.

  • Need to update iTunes, iPhoto, etc.?

    Hi,
    I installed Snow Leopard10.6 on my desktop iMac, and noticed when I connect my old iphone (about 3 yrs old), iTunes and iPhoto doesn't recognize it. So, I can't download music or upload pics from the phone to the iMac. Do I need to update these software apps as well?
    tks,

    Try running Software Update under the Apple for everything until there aren't anymore, if it works after that you just needed the updates if not most likely theres an update in iTunes for a new iOS for your iPhone
