Hello, I´m trying to update my iMac 21.5 2,7 Ghz 4Gb OS X Lion 10.7.3 with Garageband 6.0.5 (installed 6.0.4) through App Store.
I have to fill in my app store password and then I received this message:
These apps cannot be accepted on this computer. Future updates of these apps can be found through Software Update.
Any help?
Thanks in advance.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Open software update and check for the 6.0.5 update to garageband.
I just updated it this way.
The way I understand the message, it is just saying you can't update it from the app store but you can from software update
Thanks Eric.
I can´t update it from software update, nothing to update, and I can´t update too when downloading dmg file.
So you are saying that you downloaded the update found here and can't update your GarageBand 6.0.4?
Are you sure you have 6.0.4?
The 6.0.5 update just came out yesterday I believe.
It wasn't in sofware update before yesterday.
Yes, that´s what I say, and I´m sure I have 6.0.4.
I have tried to update yesterday and today, I read some links in this community and I´m not the only one, it happens too with GarageBand or iMovie - iPhoto. I think and I hope that Apple support is working on it.
Thanks Eric.
i have the same problem too. i have garageband 6.0.4 and yet i have nothing on my software update and i cannot update through app store not upgrading through http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1507.
I remembered i did something as in deleted few files in the comp for iphoto then it will show in software update.
but now i cant recall haha
I resolved the issue, well, not me, Xof107did, it´s the same for GarageBand (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3573842?answerId=17035276022#17035276022)
Solution:
1. put the GrageBand-app in the trash (look in Finder under applications, or other folder you've moved GarageBand to)
2. go to the App Store, look for GarageBand , it now shows as "accept" and no longer as installed.
3. click on accept and fill in your AppleID and password.
4. go to the App Store / purchases (I hope this is the correct translation 🙂) and install the new version of GarageBand .
5. done and enjoy the new version.
Thnak you so much Xof107
Thank you JoseAnt. I tried but it said updates can be acquired through software update and i still can't get it through appstore. while when i go software update, nothing appeared.
i remembered last time for iphoto11 upate the same thing occured, i followed some instruction to go to some 'applications library' folder to delete something to delete the data linked to app store so that updates can be downloaded through software update.
the sad thing is i do not remember how exactly it is done now. anyone knows about this?
I have the same problem, it didn't work for me either...
I vaguely remember I did something with the restore disc when I had the problem with iPhoto...
Maybe something like that will work...
same thing happened to me on iPhoto as well, and I followed this solution to delete my iPhoto but after that when I click on "accept" on Mac App Store, it poped out the same message saying that iPhoto update is not available through App Store but through software update only. The annoying thing is, when exact same thing happened to garageband software this time, I still can't upgrade it through software update......really frustrating....
SOLUTION:
[for iLife apps e.g. iPhoto, iMovie & Garageband installed under/associated with Apple ID you do not have access to]
Unable to update through Mac Apps Store or Accept iLife App after putting previous version in the trash.
1. Finder: go to applications
2. Right click on application [iPhoto, iMovie or Garageband]
3. select Show Package Contents
4. open or expand _MASReceipt folder
5. delete the receipt file [requires administrative priveleges for the Mac you are working on]
6. run Software Update from Apple Menu; the applications update should now appear here and not in the Mac App Store [at least as of this writing]
7. Optional: empty trash
After all this time!
This is the only thing that works!
GENIUS
Thank you!
My issue was I had moved them out of the Applications folder into a sub folder, so software update, couldn't find them, quick move back into apps folder and software update found them, 😀 x
K-Yuga, does that work, for example, for when the iLife apps are associated with my Apple ID "A" and now I want them with my Apple ID "B"? Does that work if the two Apple IDs are from different countries? Thanks.
I tried updating manually with serveral packages but only this one worked:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1507
afterwards, erverything updates like it should via the appstore.
(preinstalled garageband not updating)
These apps cannot be accepted on this computer.
