Help in downloading IPhoto 6 upgrade

When I try to install upgrade IPhoto 6, it tells me that it cannot find IPhoto 5 on the Applications page. I looked and there it was. It opens, goes to desktop and back...but IPhoto 6 says it is not there.
Thanks for any help.

HI revdos,
Do you have iPhoto 6 or iPhoto 5 in your applications folder? Is it at the root of the applications folder and not in a subfolder?
You can only upgrade iPhoto 6 if you have iPhoto 6 already installed and in your Applications folder. You cannot upgrade iPhoto 5 to iPhoto 6. You have to buy the iLife 6 suite and install the applications, including iPhoto 6. You can then upgrade iPhoto 6 or any of the other included applications if there is an upgrade available for download.

    You need to have iPhoto 11 v9.6 (which you can get from the App Store) to use iPhoto on Yosemite. If you already have iPhoto 11 then the update is free. Otherwise it's a purchase.

  • I just downloaded iphoto from the app store and now it tells me I have an update but it tells me I need to sign on to the user name I used when I purchased the upgrade. I am in the correct username. Whats wrong?

    I just downloaded iPhoto upgrade for my Macbook. I just bought Lion and wanted to upgrade my iLife suite. I downloaded this and it works great. I looked the other day at the App Store and saw it said upgrade beside iPhoto. I clicked it and it told me to sign in as the username I bought the upgrade from. I am in the correct log in.
    Also I have Lion and it is amazing but it says download beside it. I have Lion and I don't need to download it again. I click it and it reinstalls it to my computer just to tell me that it cannot be installed. Whats up with these situations?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities,
    I had a similar issue and it was an easy fix for me. First you need to log out of your account completely in the Mac App Store. Quit the application. Re-open the Mac App Store. Click log-in, enter your Apple-ID and password. Now when the screen pops-up that has all of your billing/credit card information on it DO NOT select done. Instead select View my Account, then select View hidden purchases. There you should be able to find iPhoto. Hope this helps if not let me know. I'm still searching solutions for you.

  • Cannot open iPhoto after downloading Yosemite, I am running iPhoto 6.9 and have downloaded the iPhoto upgrade 1.1 to no avail

    Cannot open iPhoto after downloading Yosemite. I have upgraded to iPhoto 6.9 and have downloaded iPhoto upgrader 1.1 to no avail.

    Did you go to your Applications/Utilities folder and actually double click on the updater to run it?

  • HT1338 iphoto upgrade will not quit or end?

    hi, please can you help?
    my iphoto upgrade will not finish or quit.
    it went to 9 of 9 then I did leave it over night, now it is stuck on 5 of 9? (99% complete)
    i tried "alt" key and "cmd" key which i had seen on other help, put by just pressing these that does not move the iphoto screen or stop the little circle wizzing around?
    can you help please?

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    If that fails:
    Restore from your back up, repair the Library and try again.

  • HT5037 Can someone please help me recover my pictures from iPhoto?  I upgraded to the newest version of iPhoto and now I can't get to my pictures.  I even downloaded the upgraded but I don't know what to do next.

    I recently upgraded to the newest version of iPhoto.  I used to have version 7, I believe.  Now that I have updated I can no longer see my pictures.  I downloaded the upgrader but I don't know what to do next.  Please help!

    Go to your Applications/ Utilities folder. Finder the upgrader app. Double click it to run it.

  • Problems with iPhoto upgrader on iPhoto 7.1.5. HELP!

    I installed and ran the iPhoto upgrader for iPhoto 7 in preparation to install a newer version of iPhoto (9 or later) so that i can get photo album and books printed via iPhoto.  I downloaded a number of available iPhoto 9 upgrades, but none worked even through i had run the upgrader.  I am now stuck with a MacBook (OS X 10.7.5) with a version of iPhoto that won't open (error message: You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto) and also wo';t allow me to install any iPhoto upgrades.  Help!  I have tried to restore iPhoto from time machine, but that hasn't worked, plus trying the original install disk for my laptop hasn't worked, presumably because i have upgraded the OS a few times since i got it (it's a late 2008 dinosaur of a macbook!).  I am worried that now i have lost my photos and will have to pay 50 quid for a iLife disk with no guarantee that it will work.  All i really want to do is un-install the upgrader and return iPhoto to it's original 7.1.5 state.  Is that possible? Also how can i check that my photos are still stored somewhere without being able to open iPhoto? Please help! Thank you.

    You only need to run the upgrader if you have iPhoto 9.5.  It's not needed for other iPhoto 9 versions, i.e. 9.0 thru 9.4.3.
    You might be able to downgrade that library by following this iPhoto LIbrary Manager tutorial: Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager Help - Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto

  • Hello I formatted my iMac today and wanted to download iphoto again but after i press the button to install it in the app store nothing happens! same with the yosemite upgrade..

In the iPhoto ratings there are alot of other people facing this problem I hope somebody can help me. thank you in advance

    If you have OS X 10.6.8 as you state you can not get iphoto form the App store - you must have Yosemite OS X 10.10. installed to download iphoto 9.6 from the App store
    If Nothing happens then you need to contact App store support - link is on the right of the App store window

  • HT5037 I have downloaded the iphoto upgrader but it doesn't appear to work

    when I launch iphoto 11 on my new imac it still says I need to use the upgrader - even tho it appear to have executed.  Any ideas? 
    Many thanks, Don

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I can't download iphoto after upgrading to Yosemite

    I keep getting the message "unknown error" when I try to download Iphoto from the app store.

    This error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9,5.1 and associating it to your AppleID.
    Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID, as Kappy suggested. Delete iPhoto from Applications, but don't empty the Trash, then go to the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto. If you are lucky, it will show as free and you can buy it directly.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support: Ask for a redemption code. You will need to provide a prove of purchase for your mac with iPhoto preinstalled.
