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
TD

  • 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

  • I cannot find iPhoto on my new macbook pro

    Where can I find iPhoto on my new macbook pro?

    iLife apps don't come preinstalled on new computers. Now, open App Store > Updates and accept iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand, so they'll be registered to your Apple ID and you'll be able to download them whenever you want

  • 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'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.

  • 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.

  • I just updated Java on a new MacBook Pro and am being told most programs can't open because they need Legacy Java SE 6, I am unsure what to do now...

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro on Tuesday, but now I can't open most programs as they claim to need Java SE 6. The new computer forced me to use Yosemite instead of Maverick which I had been using. I have downloaded the most up to date version of Java but I can't seem to get anything to work still.
    Any advice?

    This is what the programs are asking for: Java for OS X 2014-001

  • Copying iPhoto Library to new MacBook Pro

    I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro primarily to use when travelling. I also have a iMac which will continue to be my main mac. I naively thought that by using Migration Assistant I'd be able to copy/transfer all the stuff I have on my iMac (iTunes Library, iPhoto Library etc....) to the MacBook Pro but it's clearly not as simple as that.
    Can someone please help me to get the content on my iMac to the Pro and is there a way to update any new photos etc automatically from my iMac to the Pro? It's worth adding that I also have a Time Capsule which is used for backing up from the iMac.
    All help gratefully appreciated!!

    I naively thought that by using Migration Assistant I'd be able to copy/transfer all the stuff I have on my iMac (iTunes Library, iPhoto Library etc....) to the MacBook Pro but it's clearly not as simple as that.
    I don't know what problems you've had, but I was able to do that with Migration Assistant.
    To move your Library:
    1. Connect the two Macs together
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder on the iMac to the same location on the new one.
    3. Launch iPhoto.
    That's all there is to it..
    is there a way to update any new photos etc automatically from my iMac to the Pro?
    Yes, simply use the Pro as a back up location and back the library up using an app like DejaVu.
    However, this will work only as long as you use the Pro as a back up for the iMac. If you add photos to the Pro and then try and sync the two you may damage either Library.
    Alternatively, you can use iPhoto Library Manager to move Photos, Events and Albums, plus associated metadata between Libraries.

  • HT4007 How can I get Aperture onto my new Macbook Pro 15" Retina that DOESN'T have a superdrive from my 5 year old Macbook Pro?  I still have the CD and serial number for Aperture. HELP! PLEASE!!

    Like the thread topic says. I need help getting Aperture onto my new macbook pro that does not have a drive. I have no need for a drive after this to be honest just need my programs back on it. Thanks.

    Two options:
    Make a disk image or a clone of the installer CD on your Mac that has a super drive - you can create a disk image using Disk Utility or use Carbon Copy Cloner (if you have it) to clone the DVD to a thumbsdrive. Then run the installer on your MBY from this copy.
    Or download the Trial Installer and install from there:
    Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial.  http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
    Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
    Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
    After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
    Install the Aperture 3.4 update from the list of available updates.

  • Disk Images do not mount - Update to Lion on New MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    Just got my new MacBook Pro 2011 13 inch higher spec with 750GB hard drive today. Updated immediately to OS X lion via the up to date programme for free. Am in the process of restoring my applications that I had on my old computer that are on my external hard drive, however the .dmg disk images will not load properly. They go through the regular process of verifying then mounting the disk image, then the image appears for a split second on my desktop before disappearing again.
    This happens even if i copy the disk image off of my external hard drive to my macintosh HD and try to mount from there.
    This is really really scaring me as if I can't load all my old applications my new computer is absolutely useless. Please please could someone tell me what is going on!?!?!??!?!
    Many thanks in advance,
    Sam

    Woke up this morning and tried again and now they all mount fine... Don't know how this happened but the only things I have done differently are trying to mount a dmg that was on my old computer over the network, and it mounted fine, then mounted other dmgs that were previously not working, and they are all fine too. I'm halfway through downloading software updates but all its done so far is download updates for iweb and itunes, and they haven't started running yet anyway.
    With love from,

  • So I accidentally deleted iPhoto on my new MacBook Pro...

    I just bought a new macbook pro to replace my old black macbook and during the migration I accidentally replaced (and then deleted) iPhoto. Is there anyway to download a new app without spending $5 on it from the app store? Was thinking of going to a workshop at the apple store and seeing what they can do for me considering I just spent another $1700 on a new computer.
    Thanks!

    Hi giunta,
    Have you checked your Trash? Is iPhoto in there? If so, just move it back out.
    Cheers,

  • Can´t access Facebook on my new MacBook Pro

    Hello. Yesterday I got a new MacBook Pro. First, I updated it to OS X 10.7.5 and everything works just fine, except that I can´t load Facebook, safari shows a message saying it can´t connect to server. I tried installing other browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox but the same thing happens. The problem also happens with Twitter, every other website loads correctly.
    I searched for Facebook in Google, and clicked on the first result which was Facebook in Spanish. https://es-es.facebook.com/ The log in page showed correctly. Then I tried typing my user name and password and clicking enter to log in and it stops working. The same message apears (safari can´t connect to server) with this url adress https://www.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1.
    Maybe this has to do with the fact that my MacBook is configurated in Spanish since I live in Latin America. I changed my language to English and the same thing happened but with Facebook from UK with the adress https://en-gb.facebook.com/ I still couldn´t log in.
    I think it could be a DNS issue, but I don´t know how to fix it.
    I would appreciate any type of help since I´m really excited with this new MacBook and I would really like to solve this problem. Thank you!!
