Purchase iMovie as a new user?

I have taken over a MacBook and reinstalled everything.
Now I would like to purchase iMovie.
But AppStore says that it has been bought before and I have to purchase it again. But I can't see how to do it?

Yes you were quite right. That has got to be the purchase of the century. Bearing in mind back in 1989-90 I purchased 2 Roland Modules - a D110 and a U110, they cost me £450 each! Plus £150 for a 'shock-proof' double skinned rack, £150 for 16 channel line mixer and finally £350 for an Alesis Quadra-verb unit.
You might be able to help me with a further question now it's all up and running - some of the voicings in the folders in the instrument libraries appear to be empty - is this extra content that we have to purchase or is it simply that my macbook has yet to download the remaining content?
Any guidance would be very helpful.
And yes, I'm loving MainStage already.
Cheers

How do I purchase mainstage as a new user with a new mac book pro

I have a new mac book pro which I purchased with the intention of aquiring MainStage. I keep being directed to MainStage 2 for £21.00 which seems very cheap and I suspect is an upgrade to MainStage v1 (if there is such a thing). Where should I start in getting this software - the app store I assume?
I have successfully paid for and downloaded Mainstage 2, this then went on to attempt to download 2GB of Basic Content, however, after 2 hrs of downloading it informed me 'download failed', againI suspect as I have only downloaded the update as opposed to the full program. Any ideas/guidance out there?

HT6012 "no importable files" msg after moving library to new user

I had to create a new user profile, old one was corrupted. I moved all iMovie files to new user profile's folders. Although I can see all my projects when I iMovie Library package contents, I cannot get them imported into iMovie. I get "no importable files" msg.
I have: iMac w/OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), iMovie 10.0.5

If you're going to move the file to the new location (e.g. shared account called photo), you need to change the permissions on the file. It's not just a simple question of where the file is located -- but also who has read/write rights to the file (which is a folder).
So if you have it in the /Users/Photo directory, you should do this:
sudo chown -R photo:photo "Aperture Library.aplibrary"
You'll need to enter the password of an admin user to do this.
Assuming your Aperture library is called that (you need to do this from terminal and see what it's called). You could perhaps also do that from finder as well, but the recursive permissions thing, I'm just not as sure what it will let you do.

The user acct my apple was connected to no longer works (corrupt). My Apple TV is still synced to that account and all of my recent purchases are going to that username. Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user?

The user profile my appleTV was synced on my computer to no longer works (corrupt). My Apple TV is still synced to that profile and all of my recent purchases are going to that username. Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user (same computer)? I created a new user on my computer and moved the itunes folder to the desktop but never changed the path to which the apple synced to. Now I can only see old items I purchased before the user profile went bad. PLease help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Changing the library the Apple TV is synced with will delete all synced content from the Apple TV, but it won't delete purchased content.
You should be able to change the library, resync any content you want and transfer your purchases back to the new library.

I have created another user on our iMac but cannot figure out how to access aperture, excel and other purchased applications on the new desk top

I have created an additional user on our iMac and have tried to set up file share but nothing happens. I have an empty desktop and only the applications that came with the computer appear. I'd like to have access to the others that we've purchased... Aperture, excel, etc. I've followed the instructions for file sharing but I must be missing something.
Thanks for any assistance.

Rebecca1952,
You are over complicating things. File sharing has nothing to do with what applications that each user has access to.
To me it sounds like you just need some basic help getting the applications that you need onto your dock.
Try this:
Login to you new user account
Click on an empty part of your desktop
Click on the "Go" menu and select "Applications"
A Finder window should open showing ALL of the applications on the Mac.
Double-click one of them that you will use frequently (e.g. Excel)
Once it is up and running you should see it's icon down on your dock.
Right-click that icon on the dock, then select "Options", and "Keep in Dock"
Once you have added each application to the dock in this manner, then it will remain there even after you quit the application.
For one more expert way to launch any application on your mac quickly, try this:
Hold the [command] key and hit the [spacebar] (this will start a Spotlight search)
Start typing the name of the application you want to run (e.g. "Aperture")
Once you see "Aperture" selected, simply hit the [return] key and Aperture will launch
Hope this solves you problem.

don't just sign out!
if you simply sign out, the stuff you recently purchased will be an issue in the future when an update comes out for apps or anything else. restore the device as new from itunes then restore from a back if you have one as stated above...or set up as new and use correct apple id. this will ensure you will be using the apple id that you used originally without issues from the new one.

Our Band purchased Logic Pro and it was loaded to one member's Macbook Pro. Unfortunately, he passed away with cancer in May. How can we transfer the ownership and the software (it was downloaded) to a new user's Macbook?

Hi Kurt,
The Mac IIci is not even powering on at all. Tried again with wih a tested power cable and no luck.
I think it's best that take this issue to the Older Hardware Community. Not only did I see a fair number of replacement parts for the IIci avaiable online, but there also vintage external floppy drives as well. I'm not giving up.
Thank you for your time and interest in helping.

CanI transfer music /apps purchased from one itunes user acct to a new user acct established?

Can I transfer music/apps purchased from one itunes user acct to a new user acct established?

No, you cannot.
they are tied to the account from which they were purchased.

New User agrement - purchasing from US store while traveling abroad

While attempting to purchase content today (a bunch of it actually), I was presented with, and had to accept a new user agreement that apparently prohibits me from buying from the US Itunes store while abroad. I am a US resident, with a US account, paid with a US credit card currently on a long term assignment in the UK. Do I now have to purchase all my content from the US store while I am actually in the US? If so, this will really tick me off!
Looking for feedback and clarification.
Mark

Step By Step Instructions !!!! HELP NEW USER!

Step by step tutorial on how to create a project from A to Z. I am a new user, and i am tired of all the tutorials NI provides, they all talk about creating some bullshit waveform or making some easy calculator vi. They never talk about the real stuff, example, how to start a project, create your vi, compiling or putting together all the vi's, compile everything together and than creating an EXE. Holly shit that's all i am asking for is an idiots guide is it that hard for NI to make ! Can anyone out there direct to something to figure this out maybe a book, article, web page something!!! And no thank you i don't need some sales guy calling me trying to sell NIN bullshit training classes, i have been to them and all the instructor could talk about is creating a ridicolous sine wave genarator (WoW)

I am sure NI would be very happy to hear about any issues with the LabVIEW help that could be confusing to new users.
Here's a link to the LabVIEW help on organizing an managing projects:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361D-01/TOC16.htm
Have you read it and do you still have problems? What was not clear?

You should also be aware that you cannot buit an application using LabVIEW base or full.
You need LabVIEW professional or you need to purchase the application builder.
Genci wrote:
...tired .. bullshit ... Holly shit ...idiots ...bullshit ..ridicolous ...
These are all non-techical terms and not very descriptive in the context of LabVIEW. Could you be a bit more specific on what kind of problems you encountered?
It would also be important to know your programming background? Are you experienced in any other programming environment? Is labVIEW your first attempt at programming? Are you familiar with general programming terms? Are you trying to program for personal enjoyment, for school, or as part of a job. If your employer forces you to switch to LabVIEW, maybe he could send you to some NI classes.
What is your LabVIEW version?
As anything, there is always an initial hurdle that needs to be overcome before becoming familiar in a new environment. Fortunately, this threshold is very low in the case of LabVIEW and you should be up and running after a couple of hours. Mastery takes a bit longer, of course.
Your best bet is to ask a more specific question here in the forum whenever you get stuck. Good luck and enjoy the ride.

Why does Calendar sync with Google on a new user, but not my original one?

I have a late 2012 Macbook Pro that came running Mountain Lion out of the box. I have used Mail and Messages with my various Google accounts since I purchased it, but never Calendar. When I checked the Calendar option all I got was the header for where the calendars should be.
I cannot see any calendars on that account, create/view/edit events, or anything. My sync settings on the Google side are just fine as it works on other devices. Last night I took it a step further and created a new user account on my laptop and first thing I did was connect my Google account. Everything worked.
I have tried deleting the Calendar cache files, preferences, accounts, and pretty much anything short of the app itself. I even went ahead and cleared out my Keychain of anything relating to that account or Google in general. As a last ditch effort, I did a full clean up and reset of the SyncServices system.
Short of painstakingly comparing the two accounts I have no idea what could be causing this problem. There are no user specific applications or extensions running on my machine, and I've performed no "under the hood" tweaks to Mountain Lion.
Does anyone have any idea where I should be looking for a cause? I haven't found anything like this problem online yet, and I definitely don't want to migrate my stuff to a new account.
Key points:
Google Calendars do not sync at all to my primary user account.
I've tried multiple Google accounts.
Only a new user account in Mountain Lion is able to connect.
All SyncServices files and all Calendar files have been wiped and recreated to no effect.

How to Define Workbook / Business Ares Security Correctly for new Users

Hi All,
Please could you help me understand the Security Model for Workbooks and business Areas as I believe I am very close to understanding it, but missing something important.
Background Information:
We are using the predefined Oracle Business Areas (Payables, Receivables, Purchasing & General Ledger) to build our reports on. These are the steps I am taking to try and assign a new user & responsibility access to the existing report.
1. I create the Report in Discoverer Desktop under the General Ledger Responsibility logged in as myself assume report name = Report_1.
2. I create a new Responsibility in Oracle Apps called Discoverer Resource Coordinators.
3. I create a new User in Oracle Apps called Joe Bloggs and assign the responsibility Discoverer Resource Coordinators to the Joe.
4. Logged in as myself in Discoverer Desktop, Responsibility General Ledger I Share the Report (Report_1) to the new Responsibility I just created Discoverer Resource Coordinators.
5. In Discoverer Administration, Security, I assign the new Responsibility Discoverer Resource Coordinators to the predefined Oracle Business Areas (Payables, Receivables, Purchasing & General Ledger).
6. In Discoverer Administration I set privileges so that the Responsibility Discoverer Resource Coordinators can do all tasks, query data, administer. .etc. etc..
7. I therefore believe everything has been done and attempt to Login and run the report under Joe Bloggs, but am unable to retrieve any data.
Help what am I missing!
Thanks,
Lance

Dear All,
This has now been adjusted according to your recommendations but to no avail.
Myself and Lance have ensured that this new responsibility has unlimited access to all the existing Business areas to eliminate joins within folders not being recognised, we have also ensured that the workbooks that have been created are shared with the correct responsibility.
I have thoroughly tested this set up by logging in as this new responsibility within Disco. Client to try and retrieve data in a new Workbook, but even for the simplest of queries this fails.
It seems that there may be a problem with the Responsibility linking to the EUL, could this be due to the new responsibility being created after the Current EUL was set up?
Does anyone have any information or knowledge where this could happen?
Regards

New user - Some issues I want to resolve

I purchased my mac 2nd hand about 6 weeks ago (24" Mid 2007, 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM) and got it home and set it up and everything has been working flawlessly. Also purchased a magic mouse & trackpad which have also been working fine.
I received an email last night from a friend with some PDF docuements for work, and since then I have been having some issues. Dont know if this has any relevance whatsoever or just completely coincidence.
Issues I have encountered so far are :
1) I noticed was my trackpad was real laggy, to the point of unusable.
2) I can hear a buzz/hum which I never used to hear, hard to tell if it's the optical drive or hard drive, but something sounds like it is constantly spinning - im a bit anal about things like this and it really bugs me, especially as it wasnt doing this before
3) My WiFi connection is proving to be problematic coming from sleep / cold boot. If I click on the WiFi icon in the taskbar it will not display any available networks and just says "looking for networks". If I then click on "Join network" > "Show Networks" this then shows me available networks. If I then choose my network, it takes a long time (about 30-60 seconds) to display the WPA2 password box. I then enter my password and I see the icon in the taskbar goto a full 5 bars, but the screen where I enter my password still says "Connecting..." and eventually results in a "Connection failed!" even though the connection is actually there and I can browse the internet.
4) Generally feeling "laggy", eg opening System Preferences can take 30+ seconds
What I have tried to do to fix these problems
1) Unpaired and repaired which seems to of rectified the issue
2) Finding it hard to differentiate if the hum is from optical or hard disc. If I hold my hand on the back of my Mac I can feel vibration close to the centre, by the stand support.
Have tried running Disk Checker to see if it identifies any S.M.A.R.T errors but all came back ok. It did find some faults with Disk Permission's which I fixed.
3) This is the one that is really annoying me and have tried several recommendations found on the internet, including ;
Turning wifi on/off
Turning router on/off
Changing settings in energy saver
Removing saved wifi networks / re-adding
Removing passwords from keychain
Updating to OS X 10.8.5
4) As I am a new user, I do not fully understand what I am doing yet, but I have opened up the Activity Monitor and noticed that there is a high CPU load quite consistently (also back of mac appears quite hot to the touch). I have noticed that parentalcontrolsd seems to be consuming a lot of CPU time, even though I dont have parental controls on. It is usally 80%+ CPU. Also ocspd appears to be quite a cpu hog too (constant 20-50%)
This all happened on Friday 13th! lol
Any help with any of the above would be appreciated.

In Activity Monitor, select the processes with the high CPU use and quit them using the Quit button at the top left.
Also try a restart.

How do I set up a new user account that can use all my software?

I set up a new user account on my 3 year old BTO iMac running OS 10.8.5. Unfortunately, when I tried to use it, the computer thought none of my software was registered, activated, licensed, etc. With 26 GB of applications on this machine, it will be a colossal chore to re-do everything. Is there any way around this?
Thanks for your time,
Larry

Is your regular user an Admin?
Yes. So is the new account I tried to set up.
Are these apps installed in the main /Applications folder?
Yes.
Are they App Store apps or installs from disc/download?
Both, but App Store purchases are a clear minority, and aren't much of a problem, due to the ease of re-downloading and activating. The downloaded programs are the ones that present the problems. I have not been good about archiving serial numbers and the like, mostly because I've never had a problem like this before.
What specific apps are you having trouble with? For instance, I know that MS Office and Adobe CS5 for perfectly well for all users on my MBP.
This is a very long list. Let me give you some of it, and if you really need all of them, I'll add to the list later.
1Password 4
ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 plus On ONE add-on filters
Burn
calibre
DiskTracker
Dragon Dictate
Flv Crunch 1.5.0
GraphicConverter
Harmony Assistant
iBank
iSkysoft iMedia Converter Deluxe
MacX Video Converter Pro
QMidi
Screenium
Unison
WireTap Studio
Also, what troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?
Not much, since I have no idea where the problem is. I looked for some central repository of software serial numbers or activations, but didn't find one.

I need to sync my iPhone to new user id on the same mac. How do I keep my iPhone contacts and music library? I tried to sync and iTunes wanted to erase both.

When you say a new user ID, are you referring to your Apple ID that you use to make purchases in the iTunes Store, etc? Or are you talking about a new user account on the same Mac?
