After upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto won't open, update not allowed

Recently updated to Yosemite and now my iPhoto can't be opened, I tried to update the app from the App Store but it tells me that I am not the original purchaser (I am, I've never had another Apple account).
The error message is not very appropriate. It essentially means, that the iPhoto that is currently installed on your Mac is not associated with your AppleID. It may suffice to accept iphoto and other iLife applications to your AppleID.
Sign into the App Store with your AppleID (from the Store menu), open the "Purchases" tab and check, if there are any preinstalled apps that need accepting. Then press the "Accept" button.
Now try again to update or reinstall.
If iPhoto does not show on the Purchases tab at all, delete iPhoto from the applications folder (don't empty the Trash), then go to the main tab of the Apple Store (the Featured tab), enter iPhoto in the search field, and install.

Hi,
This happened to me with Lion (10.7.4). Here's what I did;
1). Download and install the 9.1 Update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1322
2). Download and install the 9.3 Update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1545
Hope this helps.

After upgrade to Yosemite, drag and drop for files does not work, destination folder crashes.

After upgrading to Yosemite, dragging and dropping files from one location to the destination folder, causes the destination folder crash. However, copying the file and then moving it works fine.
I'm not sure where to report bugs, but I figured this would be the best option

Did you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader on your library? Just downloading it isn't enough. Go to your Applications/Utilities folder and launch iPhoto Library Upgrader V1.1 and run it on your library.
Did you upgrade iPhoto to 9.6.1 via the App Store? If so launch iPhoto 9.6.1 and open the library.

After upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto library is gone. It is on my hard drive but how do I get iPhoto to recognize it?

I have a MacBook Pro vintage 2009. I upgraded to Yosemite and although my hard drive still has all my pictures, iPhoto will not recognize and allow them to be displayed. Thus the library is empty..........HELP

You can't upgrade to the most recent version of iPhoto prior to updating to Yosemite, because the most recent version of iPhoto _requires_ Yosemite.
Try going to the Mac App Store and check the "updates" pane and check for updates. Get the latest iPhoto version, and then try again.

New MBP w/lion; upgraded to iLife11 but iPhoto won't open old library?

I bought a new macbook pro in september. After completing a vacation iMovie, I noticed the new MBP didn't have iDVD on it to burn to send discs to family. I purchased iLife11 for this program but it also updated iPhoto. Pretty cool until I tried to open iPhoto11 and it won't open the old version's library... why? More importantly, how do I get around it? I have a Time Capsule so a backup or two exist if necessary... just want to get this project done without killing the hole weekend! Thanks!

As usual... found the answer after I posted this. I updated the upgrade when I installed iLife11 yesterday. It worked but I still had the problem. I thought I would try it again today to see if there were any additional updates... and KAPOW... there was, and problem FIXED! Thanks!

After upgrading to 3.5 App won't open.

You might want to wait a day or so before upgrading to 3.5... Final Cut Express 3.5 quits on my iMac unexpec... I've sent in 2 reports. It worked before.

Hi(Bonjour)!
I had the same issue yesterday after this installation - upgrade over FCE 3.0.1 .
FCE 3.5 simply won't open, but livetype and soundtrack were okay.
So I've followed Apple"s support link to remove JUST the newly installed FCE 3.5 (not livetype and Soundtrack nor media associated to those 2 applications) :
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301182
and after a installation of FCE 3.5 only, everything work now perfectly.
So I think it's a better way to uninstall prior version of FCE before installing 3.5 (the installation way, not upgrade way).
Make sure to have your original serial number (not the previous upgrade one). For me, the upgrade serial number of my 3.0 copy did not worked, I had to use the original full package number of my 2.0.1 version).
Good luck to anyone who bought the 3.5 upgarde version.

After upgrading to snow leopard my HP C5180 printer will not allow me to scan to the computer, it only works as a copier?

Hello,
My hardrive crashed, replaced and reinstalled. However after upgrading to Snow Leopard v.10.6.8, my HP C5180 printer will not give me an option to scan an image to the computer. It only functions as a copier. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks

If your driver is up to date (you didn't say) then you can try Image Capture in your Applications folder or take a look at VueScan http://www.hamrick.com/

After upgrading to Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6, cropping no longer works.

In iPhoto I can crop the image, but when I export it I get the full image, no crop. I use the cropping feature all the time. Please help!

it has now stopped working (in my original iPhoto library. It still works in the Test library).
That says your original library is the culprit so do the following with it:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

IPhoto '08 Preferences- opening but not allowing changes and freezing up

My problem with preferences is that it does open up but when I go to change a preference it freezes up and then iPhoto stops responding all together. Can someone please help?
Thanks!

Start with the basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Fix for iPhoto after upgrading to Yosemite

After upgrading to Yosemite I was unable to open iPhoto. I moved it to Trash (do NOT empty trash after moving it here!!!) - then go to App Store and download iPhoto. You'll want to make sure you then go to your Finder and click on the iPhoto download app in order to complete the download. When you open iPhoto it may say you need to upgrade - go ahead and do so then your photos will appear again with a new icon in your dock (remove the old one since it won't work now - the new icon will look different if you had an older version of iPhoto).
Hope this helps!

Ok so here's what you gonna do. (had this problem myself today, and after some fiddling figured out what to do.)
Find your old iPhoto with a cross through it, right-click it and select 'show package contents'. A folder will open. In that folder go to Contents>MacOS and there will be three little things there. Click on the one called 'iPhoto' and terminal will open. Leave terminal open and wait four seconds and VOILA! iPhoto opens. Leave terminal open until you are finished with iPhoto, because if you close terminal, iPhoto will close with it. THX! ENJOY! Hope it works.
P.S.
You can close terminal once you close iPhoto. I also suggest backing up your iPhoto library while you can.

IPhoto won't open since Snow Leopard upgrade

Hi,
Since upgrading to snow leopard iPhoto won't open, it just crashes instantly. I ahve tried reinstalling with no luck.
Can anybody help with this?
Thanks in advance,
Dan.

i just bought a new MBP 13'' 2.53 Ghz 4Gb Ram 250GB HD... i tried moving my iPhoto library from my powerbook g4 1.67 machine that was running 10.4.11 (via a Lacie external)
once i moved this and opened iPhoto (on my new MBp running 10.6.1 - SNOW LEOPARD) it instantly asks me to upgrade the library (saying that the old library needs upgrading for this version), so i click upgrade, and then 2 seconds later it says that the library is corrupt and damaged and i must install from a back up...
I deleted iPhoto then emptied trash after clearing up some space on the external, meaning i lost iPhoto applicaton - IDIOT I KNOW - so i download iPhoto 8.1 and the library upgrade and error / damaged library message appeared again...
I have now, (as i type this right now) re-installed snow leopard from the snow leopard disk that came in the MBP box (i have had it like 2 weeks, thats it, it shipped with leopard and i am having to install SNOW LEOPARD, for the 2nd time) to get iPhoto back)... will this give me iPhoto back, or do i have to re-install from the LEOPARD OS disks that were sent in the MBP box, the OS that it shipped with?
i am very annoyed that it seems that my iPhoto library from a 3.75year old machine cant be on my new machine unless i re-add each PBG4Tiger10.4.11 individual library folder thru the interface of iPhoto on my new machine... (if indeed it will ever open)...
PLEASE HELP !
