Can't download iPhoto 9. Says it's already installed.

In the App store, under Purchases, I have iPhoto and it says I can install it. When I click install,  the message states"iPhoto is already installed on this computer...."
What I have is iphoto 9 and I want to upgrade to iphoto 11 to get the streaming .
What can I do to make the App store install iphoto 11?

Here's the workaround that worked for me.
1. Created a new temporary user account.
2. Logged in to account and opened the MAS.
3. Entered Apple ID and password
4. Went to purchases and saw that iPhoto was available for INSTALL
5. Clicked install. Iphoto began downloading.
The app goes into the Applications Folder
7. Logged off
8. Logged back into my normal user account
Went to Application folder and doubled clicked on the iPhoto app (It replaced the old iphoto 8 app)
Made sure everything was working, upgraded library, photostream on, etc,
9. Deleted temporary account.
That's the workaround, but the solution to what's causing MAS to think I've already downloaded iphoto 9 still remains.

  • Where can i download iPhoto 9.5

    where can i download iPhoto 9.5 The apple downloader says that I have iPhoto installed but I need the old version

    Hi Larry, I had upgraded to OS X 10.10 but had too many problems so I returned to OS X10.9.5.
    I can't tell what version of iPhoto I have but when I try to open I get error message:
    You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X
    You have OS 10.9.5. The application requires OS 10.10 or later."
    I don't want OS10.10, too many problems, so I need a version of iPhoto that will work with OS X 10.9.5. So far it looks like iPhoto is the only app that has this problem.

  • My iphoto library has become unreadable. I am wondering if I shoudl delete iphoto and reinstall? Can I download iphoto from the web? I bought my computer in February of this year. Do I have to buy a new copy of iphoto?

    My iphoto library has become unreadable. I am wondering if I shoudl delete iphoto and reinstall? Can I download iphoto from the web? I bought my computer in February of this year. Do I have to buy a new copy?

    It's probably the library that's the prolem and not the application. Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and open a new library then your existing library is damaged.
    If that's the case, Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Where can I download iphoto for os 10.7.5 ,

    where can I download iphoto for os 10.7.5 ? because when I initialized my Imac, there was no more iphot and imovie
    Thanks

    You must reinstall from the original source - either
    1 - the restore disks that came with your computer
    or
    2 - the iLife DVD you purchased
    or
    3 - the App store under purchases when you log in using the Apple ID it was acquired with

  • How can I download iPhoto 9.5?

    How can I download iPhoto 9.5?  My company MBP doesn't have iPhoto installed and I'm running OSX10.9.5.  iPhoto 9.6 requires 10.10.

    If it came with 9.x.x you can log into the App store using the Apple ID that was used to set up the computer and install form the purchases list - if it came with an older version (iPhoto '09 ore ear;tier) then you must purchase an iLife '11 DVD from eBay or amazon and install iphoto '11 from it then update to 9.5

  • Can I download iPhotos for macbook pro 10.6.8 and re-install?

    Can I download iPhotos for macbook pro 10.6.8 and re-install?

    If your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, it'll have come with a DVD. If needed, phone Apple and order a replacement.
    Unless you got Mac OS X Server with it, which is highly unlikely for a portable computer, that DVD will contain iLife.

  • I can't download IPhoto from App Store because I have mac OS X 10.6.8

    can't download IPhoto from App Store because I have mac IOS 10.6.8, how I can download it?

    Simply, you can't download it.
    If you want to upgrade to iphoto 11 then you'll need to either
    1. Upgrade your OS to 10.7.5 - which requires a purchase of the OS
    Or
    2. Find an iLife 11 install disk. You may get one on Amazon or Ebay.

  • I have iPhone 4S and I can't download iPhoto, iMovie etc. For free. Why?

    I have iPhone 4S and I can't download iPhoto, iMovie etc. For free. Why? When iOS7 went out it should be free. Iike it was said at keynote. I can't even download it on other iP5

    It's free if you bought iPhone, iPad, iPod touch after 1st of Nov. Sept 2013
    GarageBand is free on the App Store for all iOS 7 compatible devices; additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available with an in-app purchase. iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 7 compatible devices activated on or after September 1, 2013. See www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/ for iOS 7 compatible devices. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.
