Why did i have to buy iPhoto when i realised my daughters macbook had it preinstalled

why did i have to pay for iphoto when my daughters identical macbook came with it pre-installed??

Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here.
There are only users here who have no idea the answer to your question whith so little information. What year did you buy your Mac and your daughter's Mac. What MacBook model's are they both? From whom did you buy them, directly from Apple or a 3rd party vender? The more details the better to offer ideas.

HT204370 why did i have to buy the movie again if i allready bought it?

why did i have to buy the movie again if i allready bought it? i want my money back

You can't get a new DVD, which is what RG said. VUDU, the download service Walmart resells, is a different subject and not what RG was referring to.
But what some other company can allow is irrelevent to the issue. From the iTunes Store, movies can be re-downloaded only in the US, and then only from those movie studios that have allowed it. This is not by Apple's choice; it's completely the choice of the movie studios.If your movie is not available under the Purchased section of your iTunes Store account, then redownloading is available only if you purchase the movie again.

Why did I have to buy Snow Leopard just to get my iPhone to work?

I received my new iPhone 4 this past week and when I plugged it in, it said my software was not up to date. At the time, I was running 10.4.11 and things were running great, which is why I continued to keep it there as it fulfilled the duties it needed to for my work. Then, rather than just plugging in my new phone and letting the Mac do its thing, I had to go out, purchase Snow Leopard, install, wait, and then install phone. So, what used to be a relatively quick process for a new Mac product became hours and hours, and also cost extra money which I did not intend to spend as I was content running Tiger. I was coming from an iPhone 3GS, which was working just fine on my current system to this.
Is Apple considering refunding the cost of the software to customers who had to upgrade the OS just to get his or her iPhone running? If they are not considering it, I think that they should.
As a loyal Mac costumer, I am a bit frustrated that the process is turning into that which I desired to get away from- the PC and Windows- in which everything would still work the same as the updates were made. I would appreciate some feedback on this topic.

If you need more of an answer than Barney already gave you, Tiger doesn't support all the features of the iPhone 4, in much the same way it doesn't support all the features of iTunes 9. This should not be much of a surprise. Tiger was released in mid 2005 & the last version update to 10.4.11 was released in November of 2007. It simply lacks many of the underlying OS services the more recent versions include.

Why did I have to buy pages again?

I have owned pages since it first came out. Yet the app store made me buy it again to get the 5.0 version. Is that normal? Is that what is happening to everybody?

Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download that track. For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Or just sync your iPhone or iPod to iTunes on your computer.

Why did I have to buy NBA League Pass TWICE for it to work?

League Pass Choice wouldn't work at all (2014) so out $150 plus tax. Had to buy the $200 Premium package. Now, after $350, finally get the games this year at my home in Costa Rica. Awfully expensive and absolutely NO service from NEULION franchisee down here. ---- NONE!

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
If that doesn't work Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5. Now the format in Itunes is changed. when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device. Why did they have to change this? Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

How do you add musci to the Iphone? I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5. Now the format in Itunes is changed. when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device. Why did they have to change this? Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

Why do we have to buy mountain lion when we bought lion? Others who didn't purchase lion don't have to pay for it to move to mountain lion

why do we have to buy mountain lion when we bought lion? Others who didn't purchase lion don't have to pay for it to move to mountain lion.

As far as I know the only people not having to pay for Mountain Lion are the ones that have purchased a apple computer after the 4th of june or something. These people get a free upgrade. All others will have to pay for a copy of Mountian Lion.
Do you maybe have a source, which states that others don't have to pay for it, where people that have bought Lion do have to pay?
With kind regards,
Wes

Why did I have to create a new ID when I logged into Communities this morning? Appears I don't have any history anymore either.

Why did I have to create a new ID when I logged into Communities this morning? Appears I don't have any history anymore either. I used the same browser and username/password (its stored in my browser) and it asked me to fill out my profile and pick an alias. Not sure what the deal was, it appears Apple can't figure out this whole id thing. I've used other community sites for over a decade without having to change my user/profile, I don't understand why this is such a pain with Apple.

Agreed! I was trying to find out how to reclaim my old name since I use it for all sites. I can't seem to find the answer so I made a new one to ask questions before giving up on it.

HT201386 If iPhoto is no more usable why did you let me buy it few month ago ?? Good job !

If iPhoto is no more usable why did you let me buy it few month ago on my iPhone ?? Good job !

That is frustrating. You are right. The new Photos.app is not yet a sufficient substitute iPhoto.
And there was no clear warning with the upgrade to iOS that iPhoto would no longer work. Only after upgrading to iOS 8 could we find out, that iPhoto was gone.
In your case it may be too late now to downgrade back to iOS 7. It was possible right after the release of iOS 8, but by now Apple stopped signing the firmware, so you will find no trustworthy installers.
I think the best route is to send feedback to the developers, so the next Photos releases will bring back more of the advanced, missing iPhoto features. Apple brought already the Camera Roll back to Photos.

Why did I have to enable Windows File Sharing to share files between two Mavericks iMacs?

File Sharing failed between my Mavericks iMacs. The console logs showed that the target iMac saw the ntlmv2 protocol as unknown to the kdc. I fixed it by enabling Windows File Sharing on the target Mavericks iMac. I had tried disabling SMB on both iMacs and leaving AFP on, but then nothing happened when I tried to connect. Why did I have to enable Windows File Sharing to share files between two Mavericks iMacs?

When you enable file sharing you need to have either SMB (Windows) or AFP (historically Apple-native) file sharing checked. The default in Mavericks is SMB, and not AFP.
If you uncheck both, then the system will turn off file sharing. Apple supports the use of both SMB and AFP connections in Mavericks, so with only AFP enabled you should have been able to establish a connection, but there could be a small bug or configuration-specific snafu that you're encountering.
With AFP enabled only, try pressing Command-K in the Finder to open the Connect To Server dialogue, and in here enter the address to the system using afp:// as the protocol, such as the following (the name can be looked up in the Sharing system preferences):
afp://my_imac.local

Have you tried booting from the Recovery HD to reinstall Lion?
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
You will need the Apple ID and password used to purchase Lion. If you have not purchased Lion, then you will need to purchase the Snow Leopard DVD and install Snow Leopard then update it to 10.6.8 to access the App Store where you can purchase and download Lion under your own Apple ID. Or you can purchase the Apple USB Lion installer flash drive at any local Apple retailer or the Online Store.

Have to buy iPhoto again to update it?

I just bought a new MacBook Pro that was delivered on 5/1 (with iPhoto 9.2.1) and the app store says there is an update for iPhoto to 9.2.3. But when I click update is says I have to buy iPhoto first. I thought I just bought iPhoto as a part of the MacBook Pro. Do I really need to buy it again?

Go to the App Store
Click on the Purchases List
Accept iPhoto
Then you can update.
