MacBook Pro :: Why Cannot Update To The New Version Of IPhoto And Garageband Through The App-store
May 26, 2012
When trying to update, I keep getting the pop-up:"We could not complete your requestThere 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.
I can't buy apps iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand there is mentioned instead of price only "accept" but when I clicked on it and wrote my Apple ID I received error message. My Mac Mini was bought from another person but fully reinstalled.
I purchased a macbook pro in Dec 2011 and was told I could download software from app store (ilife, OSX, etc) for up to two other macs based on the software liscense agreement. Can anybody tell me where to find instructions on how to do this?
The App Store is showing that an update to Facetime is available, but the update is v 1.0.2 and the installed version is newer; 1.1.1. When I click the update button I get a dialog that "FaceTime can't be installed on "Macintosh HD" becuase the version of Mac OS S is too new." The App Store continues to show this update is available, how do I get rid of it?
I recently purchased a Macbook Air 11" (July 2011 model) which came preinstalled with Lion (can't remember the version) and iLife 11.
On my first boot I noticed that the Mac App Store popped up a few updates and one of the updates was iPhoto 9.2.3. When I attempted to install the update, I was prompted to first update my Mac OS as the update was not applicable to my (then) Mac OS version.
I promptly updated my Lion version to 10.7.3 through Software Updates and attempted the iPhoto update again - nada! Mac App Store now says: "This update is not available", "You Must have previously purchased this item ..." and then prompts me to 'buy' the item (iPhoto 11?).
I haven't clicked on the 'buy' button in the fear of being charged to my linked Apple ID account and I am wondering why I am supposed to buy iPhoto when my MBA came preinstalled with iLife 11.
When I clicked the 'update' button, the Mac App Store said: "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
iPhoto 9.2.3 update. I can not get this update badge to go away. I have never purchased iPhoto through the App store so I don't know why it even shows up. I knew I had updated iPhoto already but wanted to see what it said when I clicked on the update and I got the following error:
iPhoto is already installed on this computer.
Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates.
Of course, I had updated my iPhoto when it came out for my desktop a while ago and can't get this annoying badge to disappear.

Of course, I had updated my iPhoto when it came out for my desktop a while ago and can't get this annoying badge to disappear. Try deleting the cache and .plist files associated with the App Store. Go to [URL] Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash. Now go to [URL] Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file to the Trash. Restart your Mac. So now what do I do since they have totally left me? I still have this dumb badge showing. I purchased my iPhoto through iLife and the update will not go away. [URL]

've been trying to update iPhoto for over a month now and every time I try I get an error message saying "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or unsigned.) I tried to uninstall it tonight and then reinstall but now when I go to the App Store to try to download it, it tells me the same error message except now I can't even redownload the file or anything.
I am setting up some new MacBook Pros for work and I want to install patches for all of the pre-installed software before distributing them.It looks like the GarageBand and iPhoto can only be patched through the App Store, which is requiring me to enter a credit card.Is there a way to patch these programs without a credit card?
I have a Macbook Pro OSX Lion. Iphoto and garageband was preinstalled. When I will update it, there is a dialogue box that appears "We could not complete your purchase, product distribution file could not be verified." So I put it in the trash and went to appstore to reinstall again, but it won't. I don't have those two apps for now.
We are using two different macbooks with the same account at the same time. I use OS X Lion but my sister uses OS X 10.6.8 I am having trouble with iPhoto and Garageband. I can't upgrade them. I type our family account but it says that I have to buy them. Why should I buy and pay some money for it? They have already been in my computer when I bought it.
I bought the 27" iMac in 2013 and last week it froze because my hard drive was full. Figures. So I reinstalled OSX, wiped my hard drive clean and started fresh and my computer is fine now. The only problem is I don't have applications like iPhoto and garage band how do I get them back?

I have purchased Garageband from the App Store and it downloaded seamlessly, worked well for the first few hours, on the next launch it wouldn't start unless i download some additional stuff of 1.6GB of size which i did. Once done and started installing it stops at some point before it completes installing and suddenly closes the application, when started again it askes for the download again. I did try downloading again, same scenario. Also, Garageband is not showing in my Purchases section of the MAS.
Completed a clean install of Lion on 2009 IMac and thanks to some help from the Community was able to reinstall Aperture, Logic Express and Final Cut Express, which were supplied on DVD with the original purchase of the IMac (the computer came with these softwares pre-installed). But what do I do about iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie? Oddly, Lion doesn't include these, even though they were included with the initial computer purchase. The App Store wants to charge me for these, and my only option so far is to drag a copy (in this case GarageBand) from my backup drive, which generated a "Instrument Library in invalid!" error.

I can't make a GarageBand update from the AppStore because it asks me for my brother's AppleID, which I used to set up my Macbook Pro when I first bought it a few months ago.Now I have my own AppleID and I am using it in almost everything on my mac, but AppStore still asks for my brother's AppleID when I try to make any type of update.
I have an older MacBook (OS X 10.6.8) and I can't install most apps. On iOS it will install the newest compatable app. Is there a way to do something like that on a Mac?

I have downloaded 1.1gb of the garageband loop and instruments to my new imac 2.66ghz, with 4 mb RAM, once download is complete I get the error message, 'software update cannot unpackage' alas the download is gone, which is annoying as it takes 6 hours for me to download.
I updated my MBP last night (6/1/09) with the latest updates, including the one for garageband. Soon after the update, comcast was out for the evening...so no online connection for the rest of the night. After the connection was lost, I tried opening up garageband and all I got was a bouncning garageband icon on my dock. I looked at the error report created and it did mention something about my airport base station. So I was hoping the application not opening was a result of my lost connection. I am not home now to try again. I just wasn't aware that you needed to be online to start GB or is it the fact that it was the 1st time since the update that I opened it?
My Softward Update and App Store repeatedly "crash unexpectedly" (along with Dashboard, Finder and a whole host of other applications).
I have tried everything but it seems there is no way I can use either of them.
As a result, I haven't been able to update anything for months and my OSX is now thoroughly screwed up.
Is there any way I can update OSX without using Softward Update or App Store? Is there an update file I can download without having to go through them?
I'd prefer not to resort to OSX Restore as I don't want have my Microsoft Office product key.
