Please help-iphoto and imovie

Hi-
I would greatly appreciate any help. I just bought my imac for iphoto and imovie. It is a bit more difficult that expected.
I made two slideshows in iphoto. I saved them as .mov files by exporting them from iphoto. When I open imovie it will not allow me to import the movies?? I am so confused. Any help would be amazing.
Thanks,

A slideshow created in iPhoto employs a "Tween" track to render transitions. Unfortunately, this track is not discarded when the slideshow is is finished and save. iMovie '08 appears to no know what to do with this track and so it ignores the video when you attempt to import it. If you have QT Pro, simply delete the extraneous track. If you don't have QT Pro, use MPEG Streamclip (free) to save the audio and video content to an MP4 file container. This process appears the strip the extraneous track during the "Save As..." File menu process.

With regard to the HD Questions:
1.- You can copy the entire 40GB hard drive main folder (if you cam is a HG-10, it will be named "AVCHD"), and that way you have the original video stored wherever you want. In the future, you can get that folder from a hard drive or mounted as a disk image, and iM08 will think it is a camcorder and let you import again.
2.- AVCHD gets converted to Apple Intermediate Coded (AIC) because AVCHD is not meant for "editing", but for storage and transfer. Now on AIC you can edit frame-specific, without killing your CPU. It is "good" that it gets converted.
3.- Once you have processeD with iM08, and exported into AppleTV, you could erase everything, including the event, project, and appleTV file from your computer, as long as the file is in the actual AppleTV set-top box, and you do not erase it from there while syncing, you should be able to see it. That way you will save storage/disk space, because you are right, the AIC file is very large.
However: You must understand, that if you need to recreate this AppleTV final file, you will have to start over, getting it from the Copied hard drive, import into iM08, create the project, and export to AppleTV, AGAIN, so you pick which one you erase, based on how much you need this file.
As per you SD question, I do not use DV format, so I AIN'T GOT NO IDEA.

IPhoto and iMovie registered under separate Apple ID prohibits updates... HELP!

I bought this 2012 Macbook pro from a guy on Craigslist. It works great and we had all of the applications and such changed to my Apple ID at an Apple Store upon purchase. The only thing is, 2 of the programs, iPhoto and iMovie show up as available updates, but when I ry to update, they say that they are registered to another Apple ID and thus I can't update. Is this fixable? Note-I have no further contact with the man who I bought the computer from.

They might make an exception for you although the licensing requirements are that any app obtained from the app store as well as any originally installed app which had been accepted by the original owner are not transferable. Any subsequent owner will need to purchase them using their own Apple ID.

Problem updating pre-installed iPhoto and iMovie "to update this application, sign into the account you used to purchase it"

My dad bought a new retina macbook pro over a year ago.
The pre-installed iPhoto and iMovie applicaitons get this error when trying to download an update:
"to update this application, sign into the account you used to purchase it"
We are logged into the only account that he has ever had.
He has mountain lion.
It's very annoying and there's no way we know of to get around it. Searching and searching online led nowhere.
Please help!!!!!

You cannot.
As requested... You need to use the SAME Apple ID that Originally made the Purchase of whatever Application you are trying to Update.

Can't update my iPhoto and iMovie! Always pop up a window says "you have updates available for other accounts; To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."

Ive tried everything suggested in other discussions...im hopeless!!!! where can i email apple to ask for help!!!!! please!!!!!! their hotlines back in manila doesnt work too!!!!

thanks ...but my apple ID is ok...i justcan't update my iMovie garageband and iphoto...asking me to enter my apple ID which i only have one and the one i used when i bought my mac brand-new (so no other appleID) tried doing what people in discussion suggested... even erased my garageband to try and reinstall it..now i have to pay for it!!! i badly need to update my iPhoto and iMovie as i have some projects

I have a 2008 iMac. Can iPhoto and iMovie process 720p HD videos?

I am shopping for a megazoom camera. They are mostly built for still photos, but also shoot HD videos.. in either 720p or 1080p formats. I have a 2008 iMac. I have not upgraded to Snow Leopard or a more recent version of iLIfe.
Can my version of iPhoto and iMovie process either format of HD?
A guy at the local Apple store said the video files have to be in AVCHD format, but I have found no info to back this up, so he is probably wrong.
A Canon online rep said 720p could be used, because my mac uses a 1080i format. ?? Something about up-sourcing.
I am eager to buy a camera, but want to be VERY sure I can use at least a 720p HD format.
As I am a computer neophyte, please explain in layman's terms.
Thanks very much!

iMovie from '08 iMac.. which makes the iMovie # 7.0
Thanks for the advice! I just found this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/7.0/en/15202.html.
As far as I can tell it says 1080i will work with iMovie 7.0, But I could be wrong.
I think your advice on using 720p is excellent. The camera I am most inclined to buy at the moment is the Panasonic Lumix FZ-100. I think it has optional .. what do I call them.. resolutions? Possibility of shooting in either 720p or 1080i... or maybe not.
A rather rude apple tech support guy I spoke with yesterday.. if I remember correctly, said 720p or 1080i or 1080p.. wouldn't matter.. for '08 imoive.. but this might not be correct. Besides being unpleasant, he didn't explain things very well..
He also said it is best to find a camera that shoots in AVCHD, and that if I didn't find one, I would have to convert the video file to AVCHD.. I am wondering how to do that, and I am wondering if he is correct.
You have a Canon.. I got an email from a Canon rep who says none of the Canon cameras shoots in AVCHD.. maybe this is not a problem? Do you have to convert your video files to AVCHD?
And.. If I have been shooting in 1080i..or 1080p for that matter, if I understand you correctly, I can process that video in 720p instead? I don't know if there is an option for this in iMovie '08 (which is version 7.. GRRRR.)
This is all too @#$% complicated! I've been doing research for almost a week.. many hours a day.. trying to figure out what camera to buy, and whether or not it is compatible with my mac. I thought I had it figured out.. but maybe not..
If I need to, I'll get the iLife '09.. but have been reading bad reviews of iLife '11, so probably won't get that one.
Besides the Pan. Lumix, I am checking out the Canon SX20 and SX30.. both shoot in 720p.. I think.. If I can convert these to AVCHD easily (or if I don't have to convert them) maybe the Canons are a better choice.
Lastly.. will these videos process with iPhoto? Mostly I just want to put videos on youtube without any fancy editing. I've been doing this with an older but excellent point and shoot Canon (that does not shoot videos in HD), and have had no problems uploading to youtube.
Thanks VERY much for the help!

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.

IPhoto and iMovie gone after Mavericks upgrade

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mavericks and lost ALL of my applications. I finally have most everything back in order, but iPhoto and iMovie are gone and now the App Store says I need to purchase them.
Why should I have to purchase them when I already own them from the purchase of my MacBook Pro? Getting a free Mavericks upgrade should not cause me to have to spend $30 to get the applications back that I already owned in the first place.
Please help me restore those two applications.
Thanks,
Greg

so please read my responce
2 - to get them back you reinstall from the original source - which may be the restore disk that came with your computer, a purchased iLife upgrade or the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up
Maybe it is clearer using bullet points rather that standard English puncuation
To get them back you reinstall from the original source
which may be
1 - The restore disk that came with your computer,
2 - a purchased iLife upgrade or
3 - the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up - in this case you go to the App store under purchases
Only you know what the original source is
As as to who should pay for yoru mistake -- obviously if your mistake creates a cost then you should pay the cost you created - pretty simple stuff
As to Time Machine - yes they should be there but it is better to reinstall them - copying from a backup dose not work well for applications

IPhoto and iMovie Updates

Bought my MacPro from someone through eBay and bundled with iPhoto and iMovie. Even after registering the product, I couldn't download the updates for the 2 programs because they can only be updated using that person's Apple ID. Help please? Thanks.

Sorry - you either need to get access form the seller or contact the App store support (link on the right side of the App store window) - only they can help you

How to reinstall Garageband, iPhoto and iMovie

Three weeks ago, while I was surfing the net, the Macbook I was using suddenly displayed a message asking me to turn off and restart. I turned it off but it could not get restarted beyond the "sign on" screen. I tried to reinstall the OSx by using the CD that came along with the Macbook, but it could not work either. So I brought the Macbook to an authorised Apple Store, the technician on duty tried to do the installation as well but to no avail. I was told to leave the set there and to collect it 4 days later. True enough, I got my set back after the third day, I was told that since I upgraded the OSx from Snow Leopard to Lion, I could no longer use the CDs for reinstallation. The store also warned me that for this round, the reinstallation was free but for similar future installation, I would have to pay for service charge (by the way, my set is still under warranty).
The store also told me that I could reinstall Lion on-line but then I found these applications iPhoto, iMovie and GrarageBand missing after the reinstallation. Again the technician on duty reinstalled Lion several times but could not get these applications back. With no other help available, I took the set home and tried reinstallation several more times and tried downloading these applications without success. Finally, I went on-line to Apple Store to do a download, for iPhoto and iMovie I was billed but for GarageBand it was also downloaded but could not work, each time I click the icon, an error message "the instrument library is invalid" appear. Can anyone please help.

That is completely incorrect.

All you need to do to get these applications back is to insert disc 2 that originally came with your mac. I know this for sure because I just did a fresh install of Lion and the applications were missing as well, so I inserted disc 2 that came with my mac and reinstalled them (my mac originally came with Snow Leopard). It has those applications on it as well as the Apple Hardware Test. The people who you talked to have no idea what they are talking about.

HT1338 Mac app store won't let me update iPhoto and iMovie.

I'm trying to update iPhoto & iMovie, just got a new mac and when I go into the Mac App Store and click update on iPhoto and iMovie it says: "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." .....both came pre-installed on my mac and I only have one apple ID, I don't have another one to sign into... please help?

You should be able to go the Mac App Store, login with your Apple ID that you have set up and registered, and then since you just bought the iMac New you should find those two Apps to click on listed in the "Purchases" List that is associated with your Apple ID account. You may or may not need to, for Free, redownload those two Apps from the Purchases List to trigger allowing Free Updates. I'm not sure, not having done this that way.
Hope this helps

I'm having trouble updating iPhoto and iMovie.

This has been an ongoing issue that I just get aggravated and stop trying for awhile. Updated to OS X Mavericks and now I can't even access iPhoto. It says this version can't be used with OS X. Everytime I try to update iPhoto and iMovie, I get a message saying it was purchased using another ID. I bought the computer brand new and set it up with the one and only ID I have. iPhoto and iMovie were preinstalled. Anyone have any suggestions? I do NOT want to delete them, pay to download them and then request a refund because I don't want to lose all of my photos. I didn't worry about it much until my husband did the OS X Mavericks update and now iPhoto isn't compatible to even open anymore. Please help!

I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro
Congratulations!
Everything is great---except when alerted to updates for iMovie and/or iPhoto I'm instructed: "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it".
NO need to re-purchase. Launch the App Store from the Applications folder or dock icon. Follow as the alert instructed, i.e., sign in with your Apple ID and password. Click on the Updates icon (near the top of the App Store window). The Updates window will list iPhoto and iMovie. Click the UPDATE button for each.
Note: This is based on my experience with having iLife 11 on disk prior to getting a new MBP last July.)
Hope this helps.
