Updated to maverick, app store wants old iCloud password to update iPhoto

I updated my 21.5 inch Mid 2011 iMac to Mavericks so I can use it with Apple TV. My problem now, is that the current version of iPhoto won't work anymore. When I try to update it, it asks for the login information for an iCloud account I haven't used in years and it won't let me change it to the current one. I'm pretty sure I've never used the old login at this computer at all as it's been too long since I stopped using it. The only reason I can think of it popping up is because I might have bought music on it. But I've never used it for apps.
I'm logged into iCloud on my current account on the computer, and also in my apps (iTunes, app store), but it still insists on using the really old one. I've tried to log out and back in again, and I even tried to restart my computer, but it's still not working. What's weird as well is that it's only iPhoto, I've updated Pages, Keynote and Numbers.

Contact Support at the App Store via this link:
What version of iPhoto do you have now? This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

Hi Baem_leeds
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.
The links below will provide additional information:

Having updated iWork 6.1, 5.1, 3.1 two times yet app store wants to download again.

Having updated iWork 6.1, 5.1, 3.1 two times yet app store wants to download again.

Software Update
If you have Keynote 6.1 installed and working; ignore the update message, there is no need to download it again it just a minor bug in the update system.
not opening Keynote files
Most problems are caused by trying to open version 6 files in the version 5 application.
Right click on the Keynote file select open with and choose Keynote 6.

I've ju App Store won't let me upgrade the iPhoto ,it says update unavailable with this apple id store (something like that). What can I do to fix this. I want to be able to access my photos. Thank you.

what should i do when the app store doesn't allow me to upgrade iPhoto after i upgraded my mac to yosemite?

To upgrade to iPhoto 9.6.1 you must first delete all previous versions of iPhoto that are on your hard drive. Also delete any alias files that you may have created for iPhoto.
Next go to the App Store and look under Purchases for iPhoto 9.6.1. You should be able to download and install it.

App store wants to re-verify my Apple ID

Strangely, as of 8 PM PDT 10/21, the App Store wants to re-verify my Apple ID even though i had dones this several days ago. The re-verify attempt fails because the App Store never sends me the email confirmation. This App Store is failing on all my devices (both Mac and iOS). Any clues?

Fixed. I think I have discovered my problem. My Apple ID and email verification were NOT the same. Apparently it really matters that your verification email address is the same as your Apple ID (which itself is an email address).
Prior to my upgrade to iOS5, I never had a problem with having my old Apple ID and email verification being different, but no longer. Compounding my problem - my Apple ID is not the same as my iCloud (MobileMe) and I was using my iCloud (MobileMe) email address as the verification for my old Apple ID. Confusing isn't it?
My suggestion is to go to https://appleid.apple.com and ensure your Apple ID and email verification address are the same. In fact, once you sign-in on the appleid account page and attempt to edit your Apple ID, there is a tool and pops-up to force your to sync your email to match your Apple ID. give this a shot.

The App Store want allow me to download new apps because I have not set up security questions.But I share an iTunes account with my friend. So if I set up the questions will my friend have to use and answer the same thing?

They will have to be answered the first time when purchasing from a new computer or device.

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application"

It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?

Yes, if this is a permanent change. But you still have to have all the other changes - billing address, credit card, residence, etc. See Manage My Apple ID.
If you can't remember answers to security questions:
The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
          Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
          phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

I changed my apple id, but in apps store when asked for password, original apple id appears so password doesn't work wit it. Now can't buy apps.

I changed my apple id, but now in apps store when asked for password, it listed my original apple id which password will not work. How to get apps store to recognize changed apple id?

f you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the device by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

Can i configure my security so that every time i wan t something from the app store it needs a password?

I want to configure my security so that every time i " buy" something from the app store it needs a password. Now the appstore remebers my password automatically a few minutes, and my kids buy in app without my knowledge.

Contact iTunes Customer support... it is not possible to bypass Activation Lock.

The mac app store tells me my password is invalid. It's the same password I used to log in to this discussion. What gives?

I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!
