I just got off the phone with someone high up in Apple Apps technical support. We figured out the problem of those of us who have iLife 11, but have them on disks, instead of off the Mac App store. In my case, I have a 2011 27 inch iMac mid-May version which came with iLife 11 installed on the machine and came with the disks. When I tried to update, no updates showed up, like everyone else. After going over all this with the Apple technical support, who said I am eligible, he said there must be a glitch in the system. We found a way to get it to update.



Here are the directions on what to do.



1.Go to system preferences. 2.Open up User and Groups. 3.Unlock the lock. 4. Press Plus sign. 5.Create a new account and put TEST in the Full Name area. Change new account to an Administrator. Don't put anything else in. Hit Create User. 6. Log out of your account and then log in to the new TEST account. 7. Go to software update where the Apple is on the top left. You will now see iPhoto and iMovie. 8.You have to install Garageband separately and it does install separately then older Garageband. You can keep both installed. 8. Log out of the TEST account and log into your account. Delete the TEST account, and you are all done. Now you will have all new installed.



Good luck.
