Application migration and apple id association Used home sharing to grab my son's copy of iPhoto a few years ago.  Now I have a brand new MacBook and I used migration assistant to copy files to it.

An iPhoto update came out last week and I tried to install it but it wanted my son's apple id password, even though iPhoto came with the new macbook.

How can I change the iPhoto to belong to me and my apple id?  Or is there a way to restore it from the original macbook install?
You have to uninstall (delete) the current iPhoto and re-download it from Mac App Store. You cannot update an app which does not belong to your Apple id. The re-downloaded iPhoto will recognize your previous iPhoto Library.
