Approvement for ILIFE re-install on Macbook Air 13"

I bought a macbookair 13" 2011late as a second hand 2 weeks ago.

Now I'm trying to install 'Ilife' like 'iphoto' things.

Can't do that because store requires the 'original host's ID'.

But, no way to get the ID from the pre-owner due to privacy issue.


How can I use ILIFEs for my macbook?

please answer~

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Unfortunately you need to contact Applecare on this one. Goto http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/ They have to remove the app acceptance from the original Apple ID which will allow you to accept them under your Apple ID. Occasionally, this has already been done, and all you need to do is remove the adoption.plist from your user's cache folder. The file is located at /users/username/library/caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist. It may not be there. If it is, move it to the desktop and relaunch the App Store. Accept will only be an option is there are no versions of iLife already installed.
