Can't update iphoto from the apps store

I purchased iphoto from the apps store (version 9.1.1) to replace/upgrade the version that came with my 2008 imac, but have been unable to update to the current version 9.1.5. When I attempt to update (and the apps store tells me there is an update available for my purchase) a dialog box tells me to log into the account which i used to purchase the program notwithstanding that I am logged into the account.  Any suggestions as how to solve this problem?

I imagine if you delete the iPhoto app, you should be able to download and install the current version from the app store without problem. The conflict is probably because the version you purchased is disc based.
Prior to doing this, make sure you backup your hard drive so that you can restore in case you accidentally delete something that you need.

  • Can't Update Software from the App Store

    The app store will not download any sort of update (iTunes or System Update). I click "install" and I have to "Agree" twice. Then I select "Download & Restart". The progress bar pops up and says "installing" then goes away. Under "Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days" it says has the "iTunes 12.1.2 update" and "OS X Yosemite Recovery Update" even though it never even downloaded and is still listed in the "Update Available" section along with "OS X Update 10.10.3 – Restart Required".
    Please help. Thanks!

  • Can't update iMovie from the app store

    App store notifies me that there is an update for iMovie but when I click on Update nothing happens.

    Good morning,
    Restarted in Safe Mode and the only difference was that the update for iMovie was not shown - only the iTunes update was offered.
    Below is the console report from within Safe Mode:

  • I updated iPhoto but the app store still shows that red 1, how can I remove it?

    I updated iPhoto but the app store still shows that red 1, how can I remove it? I can't right click, i cant do anything to get rid of it.

    Nope that's not it, I always use that particular ID, but the @me.com portion of the Apple ID is missing when trying to download from the App Store on the Phone.
    It is grayed out inside the App Store app so I can't change it there and I already changed it in the settings.
    The entire Apple ID is fine in the Settings so I don't get why the App Store ID is different and missing information.

  • HT201365 I can't purchase anything from the App Store

    Since my update to ios7 I can't purchase anything from the App Store? How do I fix this?

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then restart your iPad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
    Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try the App Store.

    Hi please how can I transfer purchases from the app store on Mac to my iPad . I downloaded  keynotes , numbers, pages and others and will want to have them on my I pad thanks.

    Apps that are written for the Mac OS cannot be used on iOS devices, such as the iPad. You can purchase the iOS versions of some of these apps in the iTunes App Store.

  • How can I purchase products from the app store while travelling outside my country of residence?

    How can I purchase products from the app store while travelling outside my country of residence? We are from Canada, travelling in the USA and wish to buy a TV series but get a message to buy it from the Canadian store. When we tried to do this we got the same message.

    According to the terms of sale, you have to be in your country of residence in order to make a purchase. I've heard of people able to make purchases outside their country and also of people being unable to do so. It appears that Apple's enforcement is not 100%.
    In order to buy from the U.S. iTunes Store, you would need to have a valid billing address in the U.S., a credit card billed to that address or an iTunes Gift card purchased in the U.S. and be physically present in the U.S. at the time of purchase.
    International copyright law is currently very inconvenient for the consumer.
    Best of luck.

  • HT4927 I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there.  Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing

    I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there.  Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing something?
    I am using 10.8.2 Mountain Lion btw

    I dragged the Photo library icon from the backup drive on to iPhoto on the laptop
    That means you imported one Library to another.
    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    So the reason you're seeing small photos is because you're seeing the iPhoto thumbnails from the back up library.
    So, what to do?
    Do you still have the back up? If so, trash this bunged up library and restore from the back up again. HOw to restore will depend entirely on how you made the back up, but no version of restoring includes importing the library.
    Regards
    TD

  • I can't purchased anything from the App store..... HELP ME

    I can't purchased anything from the App store, it keeps telling that there is a problem with the previous purchased and when I tried to re-enter the information , this message keep showing " your payment method was declined please use valid method" even though I've used it before . what can I do ? could anyone please help me?
    Thanks

    Either that or you can just buy an iTunes card and put it on the account. I've have itunes account for a long time so maybe this plays a part in it but I don't have a CC tied to my account. I have the option to choose "none" and that's what I have it as. I used to have a card on there years ago but I removed it and never had to have another on it. Any purchases I make come from iTunes credits (iTunes card or credits I got from redeeming rewards).

  • I have a MacBook running OS X v10.6.8 and I'm trying to upgrade to Mouton Lion but I can"t download it from the app store. It says I need a intel core duo which i have. does anyone know whats happening here?

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion. 
    Computer Compatibility - Lion
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.      
    Application Compatibility
    You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.

    10.9 is free, so you could upgrade to that if you wished
    if that's not an option for software compatibility reasons, you'd either need to re-install it from the original disks (that came with the computer, or a seperate iLife disc), a backup, or purchase a boxed version from someplace like eBay or Amazon (Amazon has iLife '11 for $39)

  • How do I get iPhoto from the app store for my OSX Lion 10.7.5 Macbook??

    Hello,
    I have an older macbook which I was able to install OSX Lion 10.7.5 onto, and it works good with this setup.
    However I wanted to have the iPhoto app from the App Store installed on my Macbook, but looking in the App Store it says that iPhoto is compatible with OSX 10.9 or later.
    How can I get a version of iPhoto that is compatible with my OSX Lion macbook??
    Thanks.

    Install it from the computer's original disks or an iLife DVD(check sources such as Amazon or eBay if needed).

  • Trying to update Xcode from the App Store

    I'm trying to update XCode 4.1 to 4.2 from the App Store and it fails (4 times so far!), tried fixing permissions, verifying the drive, down-loading Via WiFi and Wired; every time (after down-loading 1.8Gig) It just starts down-loading again
    This is the error log I get:
    14/10/2011 19:22:05.237 installd: PackageKit: Install Failed: Error Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=123 "The update was cancelled because the application integrity could not be verified."

        PKInstallPackageIdentifier = "com.apple.pkg.InstallXcodeLion";
    I'm based in the UK (if that makes any difference), have also tried dropping the Firewall settings to the minimum I can (without switching it off), all other App store down-loads work OK as did the update to 10.7.2 (so I don't think it can be a network/firewall issue).
    The only thing I can think-of at the moment is removing 4.1 and trying a fresh install of 4.2 from the App store.
    Any other ideas or suggestions (I'm now getting very close to my monthly bandwidth limit)?

    By way of an update:
    The only way I cold het 4.2 was to un-install XCode 4.1 and do a clean install of 4.2. At least it allows me to back-up the installer to a DVD so I won't have to down-load it when I update the live dev machines.
