Why can i not update to the new version of iPhoto and Garageband through the appstore?

When trying to update, I keep getting the pop-up:
"We could not complete your request
There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null)".
How can I update to the new version?
Im running on the OS X Lion 10.7.4 system for Macbook Pro I have the Version 9.2 of iPhoto and 6.0.4 of Garageband. If that's of any assistance.

Because you don't. You update using Software Update or by going to the Apple web site.
I think iLife is being updated from MAS now, thus the need for a AppleID to update it.
One person had iLife and tried to update with a differnent AppleID and it rejected it, seems they bought a open box machine and iLife was installed using another AppleID for display purposes.
When one reinstalls Lion, and has to install iLife, they have to go to MAS to do it.
Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion
If you reinstall Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion installed, on an erased or replaced hard drive, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start from Lion.
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.

    You can force quit by holding the power button down for extended period.
    During boot up hold down the Option key and choose your Macintosh HD OSX.
    In >System Preferences> Startup Disk>choose your internal OSX System as Default.

    You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

    I updated to the new version of Itunes and now I can't sync my ipod or iphone.  It's not recognizing either in Itunes, but both are charging.  How can I get Itunes to recognize my devices (that have always been recognized until this latest software update)?

    Hi there bowlerinager75,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll resolve most issues like the one you described, where your iOS devices are no longer recognized by iTunes on your PC.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Open App Store > Purchases, and see if iPhoto app is listed. If not, unhide it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928 Apart from that, check that iPhoto is in Applications folder. If not, put it in this folder.
    If nothing works, remove iPhoto, open App Store > Purchases, and install iPhoto free of charge

  • Why can I not update my iPad first generation to the latest software?

    Why can I not update my iPad first generation to the latest software?

    Which version of iOS is supported is a decision made by each
    individual software developer. If there is an app that is not available
    in iOS 5, contact the developer to see if they can provide a version
    compatible with your iOS.
    Perhaps one of these links may help:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

    I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

  • Why can I not update my CS 6 programs to Mac OS X

    I am having problems with updating the latest Updates for my CS 6 programs *here PS and Ill. fx. And the notice says to contact costumer support, but only get a few Q's and A's.
    HOW do I get in direct contact (or chat/mail) with costumer service of ADOBE_

    Hej again Steve
    Ok sorry again
    But you seem to be quite into this field. (and I've unfortunately been
    'out' for a while). I used to be up to date, but now, it's all moving so
    fast, and if you're away for a few years then you're (screwed)
    I've been trying to get in touch with Adobe mostly for 1. update of my
    programs because I seem to have a lot of 'faults' in each (crashing, screen
    moving and such)
    BUT 2. also because I want to join CC and with the 40% off (as I have an
    original CS) but when I enter info, it will not accept my serial nr. NOW
    after your guidance I came across this site which shows that I am granted a
    ''free'' CC. Am I reading this right. _ ? I am no idiot, but yes, in the
    computer field _ I am a designer and a damn good one, but all the techichal
    (that is another language _ and heck, we all have our fields_ I go to a
    mechanic to get my car fixed, you?
    Just smiling
    Look forward to hear from you

    Thank you Steve / at least it seems that I can get a ''chat'' going.
    A few years ago I could mail them but now not that and no phone (or rather
    when I call long distance I never get thru) what I most want is personal
    contact. Because even if they list 20 or something common Q and A's mine do
    not follow in on any of the categories. BUT thanks again for the link.
    Maybe you can help me with others ... Just a thought
    I\m trying to upgrade my PS, ID and Illustrator CS6 / and I know from
    previous Adobe guidance, one should not just take the latest. I seem to be
    successful with my ID (but yet to prove when I test it, which I haven't had
    time to yet) BUT my PS and Ill come up with this (see attached file).
    Hope you can help. Anyway, you have so far.
    Because you see - I have an original CS6 and want to upgrade to CC soon.
    AND they offer a 40% discount if you already have the original. BUT when I
    type in my serial nr. it won't register this. I've been trying (no kidding)
    for a year now, if not longer. AND this is not in one of their Q and A's
    Best

    why can i not update my software from 10.6.8?

    Because there are no updates beyond OS X 10.6.8.
    If you want to upgrade to a later version, you have to buy it. Mountain Lion is $19.99 US.

  • I am getting a message that my iphoto library cannot be opened because I mades changes to my photos in a newer version of iphoto and I need to quit and use the newest version of iPhoto.  but i cannot update it and or access my photos.  Help.  thanks.

    I am getting a message that my iphoto library cannot be opened because I mades changes to my photos in a newer version of iphoto and I need to quit and use the newest version of iPhoto.  but in update, it says i have no updates.   i dont even remember making changes in iphoto.Help.  thanks.

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. 
    Regards
    TD 

  • Can anyone make dreamweaver compatible with the new version of chrome and how much it would cost?

    Need to have someone update my site to make it visible online - it's not showing properly in the new version of chrome --- and how much it would cost.

    In addition to the numerous code errors mentioned by Jim, you're making a huge mistake with Flash navigation.  It's deadly for site visitors who don't have Flash supporting devices.  How will people navigate your site?  I would rebuild your 5-page site from the ground up with HTML5, CSS and ditch all those old school tables.

  • If you update to the newer version of itunes, will it delete the music i already have???

    can somebody help me please??  if i update to the new version of itunes, will it delete the music i already have??

    No it will not.
    The music is yours on your drive, only you, or malware or a drive crash, can delete that data.
    pLeAsE make backups of your valuable data.
    Apple makes it's easy in iTunes, File > Library > Backup to Disk   Feed it DVD-R's label and data, or use a external drive.
    Apple doesn't reinssue downloads. The music is yours you bought it.
