Can't update IPhoto because application not found?

I have had the latest iPhoto until yesterday when I did something dumb? then I couldn't open iPhoto anymore. I did create a new library, but discovered that the version of iPhoto I can now open is only a 2. Whenever I try to update to iPhoto 5 or 6, the screen says "you cannot install iPhoto update on this volume. An eligible iPhoto application was not found in the location / Applications/iPhoto.app" when I try to install it onto the hard drive. I'm an amateur at this and would surely appreciate some help. I don't want to be stuck with a version 2! I would also like to be able to import all my pictures back.

Hi lori,
From the beginning: We just bought this intel two months ago. I believe it came equipped with the latest iLife and therefore the latest iPhoto. The technician at the store booted up everything from our old broken iBook, which had older versions of everything (though I don't think the iPhoto was THAT early of a version.)
Recently, I set up a new user and I tried to copy (drag over) my old photo library from my iBook backup file, because this new user didn't have any pix on its iPhoto. When I tried to do that, I believe the computer asked me some questions, like I'm agreeing to certain terms of iPhoto. I thought this was required process under a new user. I really didn't pay attention to it and just clicked 'agree'. Then I couldn't open iPhoto anymore because it said I had done some changes to iPhoto and needed to reopen with a later version. I read some of your other posts and tried to create a new library, which I succeeded in doing. But now it's version 2. Really strange and frustrating.
I'm assuming that the latest iLife is on my computer already? We don't think our computer came with the CD/DVDs.
I SURE appreciate your help thus far! It's all new to me.

Can't update iPhoto because of wrong Apple ID?

I have a client that just purchased iphoto for the iphone. Now his mac says he can't update the iphoto 9.1.5 on it because he's logged in with the wrong apple account? Anyone see this or have ideas? He's running a MacBook Pro with OS X.7.3.
The exact error message he's getting is from the App store: "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.". The iphoto that's installed on his mac is from a site-licensed iLife CD that we have. No one else is reporting this problem so its got to be restricted to his machine.
Nothing shows up in the Software Updates either.
Thanks,

Because the iPhoto was installed from Disk you update via Software Update
If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.

ITunes can't sync songs because 'file not found'

I just bought an iPad. Installed some apps etc.
Want to manually manage some music. But almost every song comes up with the error 'iTunes Can't Synch (insert filename) because the file cannot be found. But they are all there. They even sync fine to my iPod Touch.
Anything I can do to fix this? I really want my playlists/music in my iPad as well, without iTunes skipping over half of them because it cannot find them (I can play them just fine: they are there, the error simply pops up syncing to the Pad).

HI,
Make sure you are syncing from the the correct hard drive. Either on your computer or an external disk where the iTunes library is stored.
If the library is stored locally on your MacBookPro, try restoring the iPad.
On your iPad tap Settings / General / Erase All Content and Settings. Then follow the instructions.
Might be a good idea to not re sync those apps you just installed until after the iTunes library has synced. Then try syncing the apps.

Can't update iPhoto, because Mac is part of Up-to-Date Program

I had some interesting mail traffic with Apple, but now I am stuck.
I bought a Macbook Pro early August this year. When I open my App-Store it says that I have one update for iPhoto. When I click the update-button, it says that I have to buy the product. I mailed Apple to ask why I can not update, since I bought my Mac after Lion was released and I should have the rights to download any update for the software that comes with it. After a long conversation the status quo is: I either have a refurbished Mac, which is not the case, or my Mac is part of the Up-to-Date program. This means that initially Leopard was installed on my computer and Apple just changed the OS to Lion. All good with me, but I ordered a Macbook with Lion, not one with an updated system that causes problems, ie gives apple more money since I have to buy software now.
Can I get a new Mac with Lion as the initial OS or can Apple give me some codes that allow me to get the updates for free?
Thanks for any reply.

If you purchased iPhoto through the MacApp store (MAS) then you can update via the MAS. There have been some bugs in how the update is displayed in the MAS. The key is - where did you get iPhoto from - the MAS or via the MBP when you purchased and iPhoto was already installed on the MBP.
The other path is from the http://support.apple.com/downloads/#iphoto

Upgraded to Yosemite, Created new apple ID as couldn't remember last one now can't update iPhoto receive message this update not available for this apple Id either because it was bought by a different user or item refunded or cancelled.

upgraded to Yosemite and now can't update Iphoto or Imovies receiving message this update not available for this apple ID because it was bought by a different user or item refunded or cancelled. Is there an easy fix

Unfortunately, anything obtained at the app store remains tied to the Apple ID used to obtain it forever. You will either have to start over with your new ID or try to recover the original ID.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

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.

Nokia c3 chat application not found after updating...

i updated my mobile software from 4.60 to 8.63. after that i start using the chat/im built in application but it says "APPLICATION NOT FOUND". I even tried opening it on menu then messaging then chat but it really doesn't open. what may cause this? what should i do? thanks.

You u need to 1st BACKUP EVERYTHING
then perform the Firmware Upgrade
then RESTORE your packed up Programs and Data ...
or just goto the Ovi store and find some free chat apps and reinstal them,
its cheaper to paste the links it sends your mobile into your phones browswer and surf using Wifi Connection to download apps and themes. good luck

I had the same problem on my 64bit arch, I then uncommented the last server in germany (stuttgart or smth.) in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and then it worked.
