Can't access iPhoto with new OS X. Are all my pictures still there?

Updated to OS X and now I can't access my iPhoto. I have 9.1.5 and it says I can't use this with OS X. Will all of my photos still be there is I update to a newer version of iPhoto? I haven't backed up my iPhoto Library and unsure that I even can considering I can't open iPhoto at all.

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.

The candy crunch icon disappeared off my phone the other day. I try to redownload it through the App Store, but it doesn't give me the option. Will only let me open it and I can resume play. What's going on? All other apps still there.

The candy crunch icon has disappeared from my phone. I went to the App Store and pull it back up and it doesn't give me the option to install it, just open. When I do, it takes to my game where I left off. So my game is still there, but I can't install it on my phone.

Hey PlayerPS,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the application you are looking for is indeed still on your iPhone. You can confirm this by searching in the Spotlight Search for this application. It may have accidentally been moved to a folder, or an additional Home screen:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you mean iPhoto on your phone use AirPlay if your phone supports mirroring, if you mean iPhoto on your computer, you can't do it from your phone.

I CAN NOT open Iphoto with the new Mavericks????

I can not open Iphoto with the new Mavericks, I changed Dutch for English but stil nothing ....

Hi Kevertjes,
Thank you for the update. I recommend verifying that you are signed in with the same Apple ID associated with or used to purchase iPhoto on the App Store under the Store menu.
If you are signed in with an alternate Apple ID, I recommend signing out of the App Store, signing back in with the correct Apple ID, and then trying the update again:
Sign out
Choose Store > Sign Out.
Sign in using an Apple ID
Choose Store > Sign In, or click Sign In in the Quick Links section. The Quick Links section is located in the right part of the window shown when you click Featured, Top Charts, or Categories in the toolbar.
Enter your Apple ID and password, and then click Sign In.
Mac App Store: Sign in and out

Hi ccharat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

I can't access iPhoto because of this message (sorry, it is in French) : "Votre bibliothèque est utilisée par une autre application ou est devenue illisible"

Here is messaqge : "I can't access iPhoto because of this message (sorry, it is in French) : "Votre bibliothèque est utilisée par une autre application ou est devenue illisible"".
I am on a iMac 27"with OS X Lion.
The problem appeared while I was doing an import from an USB hard disk and an electric shutdown happened... The iMac and everything started well after but ipohoto.

OK, when you find the solution please post it, it may help others in the future. BTW there are some other simple resets you can do, first is restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possibe one has become corrupt. Next would be to do SMC and PRAM resets, the instructions for both are:
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

I can't access iPhoto following my upgrade to yosemite

i can't access iPhoto following my upgrade to yosemite

The first thing to do: Make a backup of your iPhoto Library. Don't update iPhoto without having a backup of your iPhoto library.
When I tried I received the following message This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
This error message means, that you did not yet associate your copy of iPhoto (preinstalled on your Mac) with your AppleID by clicking the "accept" button at AppStore "Purchased" page.
First try to "Accept" iPhoto on the Purchased tab and try, if you then can update iphoto from the Updates tab.
Now check the "Purchased" tab. Is iPhoto among your Purchases to "Accept" or "Install"? Then accept and/or install.
If it is not possible, delete iPhoto from the Applications folder .
(don't empty the Trash).
If it is not among your Purchases, open the AppStore main tab, search for iPhoto using the Search field, and buy it from the AppStore. If you already owned any version of iPhoto '11, this purchase should be free, from earlier versions it may be a paid upgrade.
If all fails there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

Can't access iPhoto library through IPhoto or Aperture. Keeps restarting the computer.

My library is on an external WD 6T drive. Recently, while flipping through an album, it locked up and shutdown the computer. Now it will restart the computer anytime I open either of the apps. And will stay in this cycle unless I disconnect the drive. I'm on a 27" iMac, with a 3.4G processor and 32G of RAM, running 10.10.1, iPhoto 9.6 and Aperture 3.6. Disc Utility does not discern any problems and I'm considering purchasing Easy Recovery to see if that will do any good. I've also tried several things garnered from WD support, but again, to no avail.

Randy,
try to isolate the problem. We do not know yet, if your drive is malfunctioning, if the particular iPhoto/Aperture library is corrupted, or if you are having a general problem with your system.
In addition to LarryHN's advice I suggest the following:
Since your external drive may be failing, back up all data on that drive to a different drive as soon as possible, if you do not have a current backup. But do not overwrite any older backup you have, because you may need it.
Then test, if you can open any iPhoto Library on that drive at all. Create a new iPhoto library on that drive and try to open it there. Can you open new libraries on that drive?
If you cannot even open a new library on your external drive, there is no point in trying to open your main library there. Get the library off the drive to a different drive formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and try to open it on the different drive. Follow Larry's instructions to rebuild the library.

I can't access iPhoto on my Macbook Air. Can anyone help?

It may be because my start up disc is full. But I can't access iPhoto to delete photos! When I try to update iPhoto (in case that's the problem) I get the following message :
"This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled".
I don't understand this as I bought the Macbook. But either way I need to fix it. Can anyone help?

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
As for your iPhoto issue it would appear that the version you now have was purchased using a different Apple ID than the one you are now using, so you will need to purchase the current version using the Apple ID you are now using. This happens often when you have purchased the computer from a previous owner.

Just updated to Yosemite v 10.10 and can't access iPhoto

Just updated to Yosemite v. 10.10 and can't access iPhoto. How do I upgrade my iPhoto?

I'm having the same problem. Just installed 10.10 and couldn't get iPhoto to load. I went to the iPhoto library upgrade installer and downloaded it but it gives me a never ending multicolored pinwheel when I designate the location as my hard drive. When I load the upgrade anyway it says successful but then I get an error message that the iPhoto version that I have is too old. When I go to the app store I find that there is no way to load any newer version. Please help.

Can't access IPhoto after upgrade to Yosemite

I just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Yosemite and can't access iPhoto. I've tried to install the upgrade, but it just sits there saying Installing, but nothing is working. Tried the IPhoto Upgrader without success. It says that it was not necessary for me to use the upgrader. Help! I need access to all of my pics!

Use Launchpad to cancel the download and try again.

How can I access Pandora with Apple TV?

How can I access Pandora with Apple TV?

let me know if u found a way to do this... appreciated..

How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

iPhoto has detected faces of people I dont know, in my 'iPhoto faces' whenever I click the cross in the corner of the face (when sorting faces) the face temporarily disappears, but once I have uploaded a fresh batch of photos (and want to identify new faces) it automatically re-identifies the old photos that I don't want to have to sort again. How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

Thank you, that makes sense (I think!) However, I need to be able to tell iPhoto who the people identified in my photos are, does that make sense? How do I identify the people in my new photos without clicking 'find faces'. I know that button searches through my photos to find faces, but it also gets me to the place where I identify the faces as my friends and family, is there a shortcut to get to that place without clicking 'find faces'? That is what I really need, please help!!
