Why can't i install iMovie or iPhoto on a 10.5.8

i tried to download imovie and iphoto from app store and it tell me i need to update my software, but i go to my updates and there is no new updates =( help please really want to purchase imovie and iphoto

I don't know what versions they're selling or what they cost or what OS they require. Ask or look at the site.
I do know that you can get iLife '09 or '11 for a reasonable price and they also include iDVD, GarageBand and iWeb, which may be more economical overall (not sure). iDVD in particular is handy for creating DVDs if you plan on doing that. '11 requires OS X 10.6.

Why can't I download iMovie and iPhoto?

Hello,
After upgrading to Yosemite I found that Internet connection was slow, and dodgy, so I took it to the Apple Store and re-installed Mavericks
Internet worked fine, it was fast again, etc.
I tried to open iMovie and iPhoto
Not there
I checked in Launchpad
Not there either.
I checked on the App Store.
Yup.
$19 for iMovie
What is this? I was using iMovie and iPhoto before Yosemite, but now I can't use it.
I shouldn't lose my Apps because Apple made a dodgy update

I don't think it's a dodgy upgrade, a handful report issues with their Mac and millions have no issues whatever. It works perfectly here.
If you had the iLife apps before, they should be listed in your account in the Purchases pane for download. However, the Mac App Store usually carries the most recent version. The most recent version doesn't run on Mavericks. You should always make a backup of your Mac, especially before something so major as an OS X upgrade. Then you would have the Mavericks versions to restore to your Mac again running Mavericks.
Not sure what you can do at this point.

Why can't I install iMovie 10 on my 2008 Mac Pro?

I am running Mavericks 10.9 and really like it. I tried to install iMovie 10 on my Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.8 GHz and it says my video card is not compatible. Huh? I have a ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256mb vram.
Thanks!
Rich

I don't think that card supports Open CL which iMovie 10 requires.

Why can't I install iMovie 7.1.4?

i have a Mac 10.4.11 with imovie hd 6.0.6. so i downloaded imovie 7.1.4, but when i opened the installer, it said "An eligible iMovie application was not found in the location /Applications." why is this happening and what can i do?

If you downloaded the iMovie 7.1.4 update from the Apple website, it only works with older iMovie 7 versions. As you have iMovie HD, you will have to upgrade to iMovie 7 first, included in iLife '08.
iLife '08 is the most recent version for Mac OS X 10.4.11, and you can buy it at Amazon or eBay > http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iLife-08-OLD-VERSION/dp/B000BX5JQG

Why can't I install Snow Leopard on my videos hard drive?

I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. Lion is on the primary drive but I need Snow Leopard for a legacy app. My plan is to install Snow Leopard on a hard drive that I use for video projects, and then restart from that drive when I need to use the old app. The problem is that the Snow Leopard installation disk says that it can't install onto the videos hard drive unless I partition the hard drive, which will erase all the data. Why can't it install onto the videos hard drive? There's no operating system on that hard drive. The hard drive has folders for Final Cut Express Projects, iMovie Events, iMovie Projects, DVDs movies I've ripped, a folder of music, and an iDVD project. What do I need to remove to enable installing Snow Leopard?

If I understand what you are saying you have a drive with "stuff" already on it and you want to install a version of OSX on to it while still retaining that "stuff". If that's what you want to do you cannot do that mainly because there's already "stuff" on that drive.
The only way you can do this is to either of the following:
a. Copy the "stuff" off that drive to another drive. Install the OS. Copy the "stuff" back on to the newly created boot drive.
b. Copy the "stuff" off that drive on to another drive. Partition the drive into at least 2 partitions; one for the boot and one for the "stuff". Install the OS into one of the partitions. Copy the "stuff" back to the other partition.
Either way, if you want to use that disk for a boot disk, you got to get that "stuff" out of the way to do the OSX install on to that disk.

Why can't Apple install an iTunes Visualizer option??

Why can't Apple install an iTunes Visualizer option to the screen saver, instead of the iPhoto slideshow?? I don't always want pictures moving over the screen, and especially when I'm listening to the music channels. Having such a large format for the iTunes Visualizer would be . . . you know, cool.

I totally agree and would love to see that option! I think the best way to tell Apple these things would be at http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html though.

Why can't I install iTunes on windows RT? Is Microsoft deciding what software I can use?

Why can't I install iTunes on Windows RT? Is Microsoft deciding what software I can use?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Theoretically, Microsoft is deciding what apps you can install. In Windows RT, you can only install apps from the Windows Store and they must be ARM-based, things that Apple and iTunes don't meet, so you can't use iTunes in Windows RT

why can't i install java on os 10.7, under install it says error something about java script

If you can't get any software updates, there is something wrong and I would suggest reinstalling Lion.
What errors do you get when you try to install the updates?
What is the build number of Lion. Look in About this Mac and click on the version number.

Why can't I install any apps it keeps saying my session has timed out

Thanks for your suggestion Ned01, I tried this as a last ditch attempt, unfortunatly it made no difference in my case, but i'm pleased it did for you. However, because you reminded me to have another go at this problem, i tried something else (which i'd unsucsessfuly tried before), that is, i deleted the 'CLICK & SAVE " a/c i'd set up recently, and reverted to my previous payment me and would you know it , this time it worked !! I set up a trail purchase and it worked.
It seems to me that other poeple with this problem have to solve it by trail and error, but thank you for your help.Sandystone..
