Can't install iphoto 6.0.3!! help

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have a imac G4 256 MB w/ OX 10.4.6. I am still running iphoto 2 (what the computer came with) Now I finally want to upgrade to iphoto 6.0.3 and the computer won't let me. When I am told to select a destination to install it, my Mac HD icon comes up w/ a red exlamation point through it. When I select it I get this message: "you cannot install iphoto update 6.0.3 on this volume. An eligible iphoto apllication was not found in the location application/iphoto/app." Does anyone have any idea what I need to do. I am not very computer savvy. Also my computer says that I have 38.3 GB (is that memory?) w/ 21.8 free and iphoto needs 52.9 MB so I think I should have enough. Any help or thoughts is greatly appreciated. thanks

hello brooklyngirl
you say that you are still using iphoto 2. you have to have iphoto 6 installed before you can download version 6.0.3. the only way to get iphoto 6 is to buy it. that is buy the ilife'06 package. once you install it then and only then will you get the update. sorry this is the way it has to be.

    I have bought a 2nd hand late 2008 macbook air and can't install iPhoto as it says it requires update 10.9 or higher i can't seem to update any further than 10.7.5 can anyone help please???

    Thankyou for your response... being new to this i have had a look and it says the following
    This system can run the last version of OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" as well as the current version of OS X 10.9 "Mavericks," but does not support the AirDrop, AirPlay Mirroring, or Power Nap features. It is not supported booting into 64-bit mode when running Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard." It does support "OpenCL" and Grand Central Dispatch introduced with Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard."
    Please note that OS X "Lion" 10.7 and subsequent versions of OS X, like Mountain Lion and Mavericks, are not capable of running Mac OS X apps originally written for the PowerPC processor as these operating systems do not support the "Rosetta" environment. To run PowerPC applications on this Mac, it will be necessary to use Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" or earlier
    what do i do next
    Thankyou once again for your reply

  • How many computers can i install Iphoto 11 on

    how many computers can i install Iphoto 11 on

    If you buy it on the App Store any Macs that you own or control for personal use. So, all the Macs in your family, yes. All the Macs in your Office... no.

  • PS downloads uploads for my CS5 (fully licensed) but "can't install" - offers no explanation. Help appreciated. Greg

    PS downloads uploads for my CS5 (fully licensed) but "can't install" - offers no explanation. Help appreciated. Greg

    32 versus 64 doesn't make a difference.
    "I've seen similar issues on httP://feedback.photoshop.com You should maybe post there to report the bug."
    Thanks.  I searched there and found what might be a workaround. I think this is simply a bug in CS5. If (as indicated in posts revealed by searching the forum you linked me to) I temporarily change Printer Manages Color to Photoshop Manages Color in the PS window, I can then access Print Settings again to make changes, Save and then change Photoshop Manages Color back to Printer Manages Color.
    Go figure.
    Thanks a lot for the help.
    What I don't understand is why everyone isn't experiencing the same issue.

  • How can I install iPhoto on a 10.6.8 Macbook?

    Hello all-
    I had a quick question regarding the newest version of iPhoto '11.  Quite a while ago, I had to replace the hard drive of my (very old) Macbook Pro, and during this process I installed 10.6.8 on the new SSD.  Everything works perfectly, but I did lose my iLife install when the process was finished (I used the upgrade version of 10.6.8 as opposed to the full version, forgetting that the new drive wouldn't have my previous 10.4 install on it).
    Anyway, I'm looking to buy iPhoto '11, but the requirements on the App Store claim that it can only be used with 10.7.4 or later.  I can't find an older version of iPhoto that I can buy, so my question is-
    Can I use iPhoto '11 with a 10.6.8 Mac?  Has anyone successfully installed (not upgraded) iPhoto '11 on a 10.6.8 Mac?  If it won't work, how do I find/buy an older version of iPhoto which will work with my computer?
    Thanks for your help!

    I contacted App Store support, but it doesn't look like they'll be able to help me- apparently you can't buy the CD version.  I did find this on Amazon, however- I believe it's what you're talking about. 
    However, I'm not sure if this version will even run on my Mac- any idea on whether it'll work or not?
    Additionally, I found my old 10.4 discs that came with the computer when it was new- I'll try to get iPhoto installed off the bundled software installer and see if I can upgrade it from there.

  • HT2638 How can I install iphoto 6 on an older mashine with snow leapard where to get it

    Please can you help
    I have an old whight mac duel core intell just installed snow lepard and now need iphoto but version11 will not work so ? can I use version 6

    iPhoto '11 will work with 10.6.8 - as will iPhoto '08 and '09 (and iPhoto 6) - you can purchase any of thoses ilife DVDs that you can find on eBay on Amazon and install iPhoto or all of iLife
    The App store only sells the latest version and it will not work on 10.6.8

  • I replaced my hard drive on my late 2006 Macbook Pro.  I tried to do a reinstall of Tiger 10.4.5 from my start up disk.  I get an error that states "can't install on this computer." HELP

    I replaced my hard drive on my late 2006 Macbook Pro.  I used the disk utility and erased the drive and formatted it to OSX Journaled .  When I tried to install the OS from the start up disks I got the error "Can't install on this computer.  I have verified the drive.
    I have used Super Duper to copy my old drive to my new drive.  But I wanted to do a fresh install.  How do I go about this? 

    Did you do the Super Duper clone before you tried to reinstall the OS? If so, the original install disc is likely earlier than 10.4.11, and that may be why you are getting the message.
    When trying to reinstall the OS, did you select the "Archive and Install" option? If not, you might try that. Here's a link that might help:

  • Can't install iphoto 6 on mac g4

    HI, is there a trick to installing iphoto 6 on a g4 flat panel. 700hz machine. It won't install. Says there is an error. Tried everything. Thanks.

    Yes, that easy, unless you’re a: Using the wrong disk (for instance, trying to install it from a System Restore disk from another model of Mac) b: A faulty disk or c: a faulty drive.
    That machine can certainly run iPhoto 6.

  • Can't install iphoto for ipad on my ipad air running ios 7

    On the ipad, I start App Store, search for iPhoto, and all I get is a bunch of auxilliary photo apps but no listing for Apple iPhoto. If I use safari on the iPad and go to apple.com, I can search for and find a page for iPhoto on the iPad, but there, the link to 'download iphoto' does nothing.

    I can't install the drivers for my printer Photsmart C7280 on my Mac Air running Mac OS X 10.7, Lion. The HP center sends me to Apple Updates which says no drivers available, see HP which repeats the circle.
    Lion should include the driver you need but since its not working lets try this:
    Let's uninstall with the 'scrubber option' like this:
    1. Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller and click Continue
    2. Highlight your device on the left pane
    3. Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
    4. There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    5. Click Continue and let it finish
    Now, run a Software Update. This can be done by clicking the Apple in the top left of the screen then clicking Software Updates.
    Next, let's reset the printing system:
    Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Default tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
    Finally, download and install the software from here.
    Let me know how this works for you!

  • Can't install more RAM, what will help?

    OK need a bit of help.
    My elderly iMac has been a bit problematic lately, spinning beach balls, laggy, that chuggy noise which I always think is Spotlight indexing... (can't think of a more technical way to describe it!). I've just nosed around and saw a thread saying take a look in Activity Monitor at System Momory. This is what mine shows.
    The thread I looked at kept saying 'are there a lot of pageouts, without actually defining what 'A lot' of page outs were! Nosed a bit more and think I may have too many page outs?
    Now, thing is, I'm maxed out on RAM, in fact this machine should only take 4GB but I  managed to get it to accept 6MB, after doing some research and finding it was possible. So, I can't install any more RAM. Am also on Mountain Lion.
    I have to trundle on with this Mac for a while longer. What can I do to improve my page outs and general speed of machine? Is it purely not having lots of applications open at once? I'm a designer so have CS6 installed, and use InDesign, Illust. and Photoshop. Is there anything I can do to get a bit more life out of this trusty warrior? Everything else on it works just fine.
    I'm not 100% techie, but can usually sort out my  mac problems if someone explains clearly!
    Spec of iMac: Alu 2.8GHz C2D 6GB SDRAM (should only take 4GB SDRAM but found out that it can take 6) 1TB HD

    There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory. That can happen for two reasons:
    You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
    You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
    Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
    When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
    View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
    from the menu bar.
    If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
    The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
    Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing softwre. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
    If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
    The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command: 
    sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
    where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

  • Re installing Iphoto 08...Help!!

    I need help on this does anyone know how to re install iphoto 8, its already installed and when i put the cd in the computer i went to custom setting during the install process, but i cannot check the box next to iphoto. What is the secret or what do i have to do to reinsall just iphoto again!!

    rbe1972
    It won't install because the Installer thinks it's already on your Mac.
    So, to uninstall the first iPhoto: trash the app from your Applications Folder
    Then go to HD/Library/Receipts and trash any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    Then try run the installer again.

  • Can't install iphoto 9

    After about an hour, the progress bar gets to 1GB out of a total of 1.15GB and then I get a red error message  "an error has occured" and can't go any further.  I am trying to install now for the third time, but any ideas?

    Also make sure you have plenty of free space on your boot drive.  I'd also run Disk Utility to repair disk permissions and verify the drive.
    Is your profile correct, i.e. the system version?  Are you trying to install iPhoto from the App Store?
