Can't open Iphoto on my new macbook pro

It asks me to upgrade. thought it came with the softwar...  what is up? 

have you accepted the upgrade (or update)?
You may have an issue since the software is licensed by the seller's Apple ID
And BTW it helps people answer your questions if you provide information like iPhoto version you have, OS version you have, what happens when you try to do something and exact error messages
So it is not really a new system but a used one that has been erased - that is critical information
and since no one here can read minds answers to the oter question about your system, versions, etc would imporve chances o getting a valid answer

  • Can't update iPhoto on my new Macbook Pro?

    Hi guys!
    I just got my new Macbook Pro a few weeks ago. I just got around to try to open iPhoto, but when I open it it tells me to update. When I download the update, it tells me that I need iPhoto 9.0, which I know is on the iLife '11 disc. However, I saw no need to purchase iLife and don't want to spend the money on it, as I will not need a new version at a later point... What can I do?
    Thank you!

    Have you moved iPhoto from the default location? If so, move it back.
    Regards

  • I can't open iPhoto library on my Macbook Pro. It says to upgrade and I have upgraded and updated it. Any suggestions?

    I cant open iPhoto library since I upgraded it. I says to upgrade to latest version. I have the latest version and have done an update. Any suggestions?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto. (You'd be surprised what some folks call the "latest version")
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Can't open iPhoto after Yosemite upgrade MacBook Pro

    THe wheel just spins and eventually I have to force quit. I tried resetting the Pram. It's a 2011 15". Need to get into my photos!  I know I can access them in Pictures but I'd like to use iPhoto.

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Are you able to create a new library or still get the SWOD (spinning wheel of death)?  If you still get the SWOD try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

  • I cannot find iPhoto on my new macbook pro

    Where can I find iPhoto on my new macbook pro?

  • 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

  • Can't Connect Via Ethernet on new MacBook Pro

    Hello,
    I'm running into a frustrating problem and hoping someone can help.
    I have a new MacBook Pro that won't connect via Ethernet. My old computer (Powerbook G4) with the same settings works flawlessly.
    Details: under Network Settings I have Automatic/Using DHCP. When I click on Assist Me>Diagnostics, I get green lights all the way down (Built-In Ethernet, Network Settings, ISP, Internet, Server). The Diagnostics tool therefore proudly announces that my Internet connection is working correctly.
    When I open Safari, however, it won't open any page. Using Ping I also get no responses.
    When I plug the exact same ethernet cable into my Powerbook G4, everything works flawlessly. The only difference is that the IP address ends in .25 instead of .30 (I assume that's from the router assigning different IP addresses to the two computers.)
    On another forum i read about someone having a problem with a long/lossy ethernet cable, but I just took my computer to the router and tried with a 2-foot ethernet cable. Same situation.
    Help!
    Thanks

    i rebooted the firewall and it worked.

  • I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

    I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

    There are a number of developers who have chosen for various reasons not to offer their software through the Mac App Store, so don't assume that if an application is not in the App Store that the application is not available. It may well be available directly from the developer or some other download site. MacUpdate is a good resource for looking for applications:

  • Can you put windows on a new macbook pro

    can you  put windows on a new macbook pro ? yes or no, which notebook can i put windows on if not the macbook pro?

    WIndows 7 is the only Windows OS supported by the new Macs.
    You usually use Boot Camp Assistant to partition the drive and install the Windows product on the Mac.
    This creates a system where you boot into Mac OSX OR Windows.
    see more at http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    There are programs such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion that can create a Virtual Machine within Mac OSX - giving you access to both Operating Systems at once. You may get slight performance issues as you would be essentially running two Operating Systems at once.

  • Migrated iPhoto content to new MacBook Pro,  but can't get '11

    Hi there,
    I migrated my iPhoto content from my old laptop to my new one, the new one has OSX 10.6.7, but somehow I seem to have migrated iPhoto v8.1.2 also. iPhoto '11 should be part of 10.6.7, right? iPhoto '11 cannot be found on my new computer, did one cancel the other?
    My hubby did exactly the same thing, migrated his old iPhoto content to his new MacBook Pro and he has iPhoto '11. I have tried to download it but it seems that it's too big to download, it requires a physical disc. My computer came with the software already loaded.
    If anyone can give me any pointers on how to fix this I'd be so grateful.
    Thanks,

    How did you migrate the iPhoto content?
    As to iPhoto version - iPhoto does not come with any OS - it comes on new computers and can be purchased as part of iLife or in the App store
    reinstall iPhoto - go to your receipts folder ("Your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts) and remove any iPhoto receipts and reinstall from the restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install of bundled software only
    For more information click here for the MacWorld article on reinstalling OS X applications.
