Can I upgrade from iPhoto 2.0.1 to iPhoto '11?

When I bought my iMac three years ago, it didn't come with iPhoto so I transferred iPhoto 2.0.1 from my old Mac. Can I now upgrade directly from iPhoto 2.0.1 to iPhoto '11 (buying it, of course), or will there be problems?? I've upgraded to Snow Leopard.... thanks!

If you purchase the iLife 11 disc from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: iLife 11 then you should be able to run iPhoto 9 (11), up to Version 9.2.2. To use any of the versions newer than 9.2.2 you must be running Lion or Mt. Lion.

How can i upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 8.1.2 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8 ?

How can I upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 8.1.2 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8 ?

With the above listed config that I have (iphoto 7.1.5 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8), how can I move my iPhoto library from this old iMac (2006) to my NEW iMac (2011) that is running iPhoto 9.5.1 ?
To open an iPhoto 7.1.x version in iPhoto '11 you need to run the iPhoto Library Upgrader. See this Support document:
iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrade
Download and install the upgrader, then run it on your iPhoto 7.1.5 library. After that, iPhoto will be able to open your library and upgrade it to version 9.5.1. And you will be able to merge the libraries with if Library Manager.

Can I upgrade from iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5 to iPhoto '11 on my Macbook Pro (10.6.8) without upgrading to Lion? or iPhoto '09...

Can I upgrade from iPhot '08 (ver 7.1.5) to iPhoto '11 on my Macbook Pro (OS 10.6.8) without upgrading to Lion or iPhoto '09?

You should only get that message if you are attempting to install the same version of iPhoto that is already on your computer.
Should you upgrade your current version of '08 (7.1.5) to anything higher, including '11 (9.2.1), it will upgrade your current library with all your photos and not create an additional application or library.

How can I upgrade from iPhoto 6 using SnoLeopard?

I'm trying to create a slideshow for my aunts memorial service and I am realizing that my iPhoto 6 (v. 6.0.6) is severely out of date.
I'm using OS X 10.6.8
I tried going to upgrade to iPhoto 11 but when I do, it's saying that I need OS X 10.7.4 in order to do so. Does anyone know where I can get an updated version of iPhoto?
The main reason for wanting to upgrade is to export the slideshow to a CD. Exen at the highest quality export 640 x 480, the .mov file is pretty low quality.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

Can't upgrade from iPhoto 2.01 in Leopard

Upgraded our iBook G4 to Leopard and now the System tells us IPhoto 2.01 won't work. I downloaded and tried to install each of the upgrades in Apple Downloads (v6.x, v 5.x, v4.x), but they can't find an "eligible" App to upgrade.
Suggestions, PLEASE

You do not say what version of iPhoto you have but as my previous post clearly states
iPhoto 2 will not work with Leopard - you must purchase an upgraded version of iLife - the current version is iLife '08 - $79.00 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB015Z/A?fnode=home/shop_mac/software/apple&mc o=MTA3ODk2
Isn't there any other way I can fix this with out spending money?
Once again it depends on which version of iPhoto you have - iPhoto 4 and higher work

Can I upgrade from Iphoto 4 -- 6?

If I cannot how do I make sure my photos get transferred ok. If I save them on a cd can I then transfer them back?

After purchasing iLife 06 and installing according to the directions (check for the correct opening sequence which was iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, then iDVD for 05) you're first launch of iPhoto should automatically update your current library. I'm sure there will be some instructions with it in case you have to do anything special. For one I would make a backup copy of the current iPhoto Library folder and then do a rebuild to get everything cleaned up for V6.

Upgrading from iphoto 4 to i photo 7 on Leopard

How can I upgrade from iphoto 4 to iphoto7 (08) - and keep all my albums/ keep the dates the photos were shot - all that good stuff?
I am trying to upgrade from i photo 4.0.3 to i photo 7.1.4 - it keeps erasing all my albums and massively duplicating the size of my photo library ( I think it is duplicating photos) .. went from 47 GB to over 100 GB after it was through "upgrading" .. this happens when choosing the upgrade option after it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library"
choose upgrade and then I wait over and hour as it goes through all my pictures - some out of order -- and I see some twice . . .
What is the correct procedure here? I just got an i mac, early 08, running leopard . When installing leopard- i chose the option to firewire to my old ti book (G4) to copy everything over . . . My I photo library was on an external drive -- so I've dragged that folder into the pictures folder of the new mac . it knows where the folder is ... finds it -- then just goes haywire .
Help!?

Nope ,
didnt work --
the error seems to be happening at this stage (just a guess ) -- It says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library."
then I choose to "import the photos" . . .
now , the first time I chose this - I thought I should pick the option not to import the pictures ... this was actually kind of great - cause I wanted a way to get all of my original photos out of their i tunes folders -- which is what this option did ... (good thing I had a backup!) Ironically - this time - Iphoto contained all of my albums and such --- but they were all empty -- and there were no photos! . .
ok -- so I tried to go back and import the photos -- would it know to put them in the right albums? nope .
Ok --
so I deleted all of that - and dragged my backup i photo from external drive #2 back into external drive #1 . . went through the process agan - and this time i photo has all of my albums- but they are all empty -- and all the 34,000 pictures occur under an event that occur today . ...
wrong - delete - start over again . .
so what do I do now?
I still have an i photo lib -- the same as the original -- I've kept that backed up . ..
should I reinstall i photo 7 (08) to wipe it clean and try it one more time ?
Sould I just use i photo 4? - can I on leopard?
Is there a tutorial/instructions on upgrading from 4 to '08? that would be ideal. - I see I'm not the only one struggling with this issue -- as the thread you responded to here illustrates .

You can upgrade to iPhoto '11 with OS X 10.8.5 by purchasing an iPhoto '11 DVD from Amazon, eBay or other source - or you can upgrade your OS to Mavericks for free if your system meets the requirements and then purchase the upgrade to iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store - in either case backup first in case of problems

I am trying to chose an upgrade from iPhoto to either lightroom or photoshop elements 10

I am trying to chose an upgrade from iphoto to either lightroom or photoshope elements 10, and would appreciate any comments/advice
Thanks for your time
Sandy

Elements and LIghtroom are different categories of app. Elements is a pretty straight up editor. Lightroom is database driven photo manager with lossless processing. Simply, Lightoom would be the upgrade to iPhoto.
That said, there is no upgrade path from iPhoto to these apps. You will need to export from iPhoto to the Finder - a process that means you will lose something of the work you have done in iPhoto already.
If your reason for upgrading is to add editing power then you can use Elements as an extenral editor to iPhoto:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
If the Limitation you see in iPhoto is primarily photo managment then have a look at Aperture. Half the price of Lightroom, much better manager, complete with OS integration.
If you're shooting Raw then Lightroom or Aperture are the way to go.
You can set Elements as an external editor in either.

Upgrade from iPhoto or Aperture 2 library?

I have Aperture 2 installed alongside iPhoto. The libraries are nearly identical with some recent shots since yearend in iPhoto but not yet transferred to Aperture 2, but they easily could be. I have purchased Aperture 3, and I am wondering am I better off upgrading from iPhoto or Aperture 2? I am running the latest software for OS X and for both applications. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Either would do but Aperture is more capable overall - a pro app vs the consumer iPhoto). Since you bought Aperture it would seem sensible to use that. No advantage I can think of to using both which I think is a recipe for confusion.

Upgrade from iPhoto 09 to Aperture 3.3

I am thinking about getting Aperture 3.3 and upgrading from iPhoto 09. I don't think I see an advantage of using iPhoto in the future. Do you still have the option to just convert over to an Aperture library (pre 3.3) without sharing between libraries? Thanks, Jeff

If your current iPhoto version is iPhoto 9.3.x, and you opened the iPhoto Library at least once in this version, you can simply open your iPhoto library in Aperture 9.3.1; no conversion necessary.

MobileMe albums not visible in Aperture after upgrade from iPhoto

I've just upgraded from iPhoto to Aperture and all went well, except that my mobileme albums aren't appearing. I published a test album which worked, but my existing ones don't appear.
I've read on another thread that a dodgy character in an album name caused a similar problem but I can't see anything that looks odd in my mobileme album names.
Any ideas?

I had the exact problem and found the solution here.

Can I upgrade from iPhoto 2.0.1 to iPhoto '11?
