Can't update iPhoto recently purchase 9.1.1 to 9.2

I downloaded iPhoto 11 vers. 9.1.1 from the App store about 4 or 5 weeks ago.
I downloaded version 9.2 and when I try to install it, I get this message:
>>The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available.<<
I can't seem to find a version from the App store that will update.
Can someone provide me with a link or a workaround?
Thanks in advance.
PS: I checked on the third party app 3ivx, which seems to cause some problems for users but it isn't on my computer.

Thanks for the quick reply Terence.
I had called Apple Support and they didn't know probably since it was a new download.
Like any good Mac software, if you poke around enough you can usually figure things out.
I went back to my App Store program, and did find the update and it worked smoothly after that.
Now I'm wondering about Aperature as a next step.
Thanks again.

I recently updated to Mavericks. I can't update iPhoto. It states that I need the original apple ID when the computer was purchased?

I can't update iPhoto or iMovie after upgrading to Mavericks. It stated that the Apple ID and password were not the same that were used to purchase the software?

The Andyman,
are you the original purchaser of your MacBook Pro? Have you associated your MacBook Pro with the same Apple ID which you’d used to purchase iPhoto and iMovie?

I can't update iPhoto 9.4.1 to 9.4.3. Every time I click update, it tells me to sign in to the account I used to purchase it but it was preinstalled. Please help!!!

They are updated through the Software Update facility, not the Mac App Store.
Thanks for popping in....
My iLife apps are all from retail install disks predating Lion/ML; I am running 10.8.4 and as soon as I choose Software Update from the menu, the app store 'Updates" window opens with "checking for updates". I believe that behavior (SU being directed to MAS) was changed with ML?

Can't update iPhoto: message says it was "bought by a different user or refunded or cancelled." None of that is true. Can't buy it, either.

I've been trying to update my iPhoto because my old version (9.3.2) no longer works now that I've updated my OS to Mavericks (10.9.2). When I try to update, I get the message that I can't because iPhoto was purchase by some other user or was refunded or cancelled. I don't know how this could be--this was a new computer that I got through work that came loaded with iPhoto already. I figured that I would just buy iPhoto again and load it up, but the Apple Store will only show me the option to UPDATE and not BUY, so I am stuck in this loop.

You must log in using the Apple ID that was used to set up the compter (or purchase the application if it was purchased later)
If that is not working then you must contact App store suport - link is on the right of the App store window

I can't update iPhoto and i movie i photo and i movie the message appear message appear

i can't update iPhoto and i movie i photo and i movie the message appears
These apps cannot be accepted by your Apple ID.
These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the applications.
please help me to fix this problem
Thanks
Krishna.

You need to either delete and buy them, or get whoever holds that Apple ID to tell Apple to release them. On a Mac, deleting the applications won't affect their data, but that should be backed up anyway.

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.

HT1338 I can't update iPhoto or iMovie on used Macbook Pro, the store asks me to log in with the Apple ID of the previous owner.

I bought this late 2011 Macbook Pro and can not update iPhoto or iMovie because the store asks me to log in with the previous owners Apple ID. What should I do? I don't want to purchase the apps.

I'm not sure on that. My macbook pro came with snow leopard. So If I was going to sell it, the person would have the os disk and the applications disk(iLife). I'm pretty sure that a computer that comes with Lion has the iLife apps tied to it through the mac app store regardless of how many different people own the computer (all you need is your own apple id). If I try to delete any of my iLife apps I get an error messege telling me it's not possible. There might be a way to do it with a terminal command, but that is way out of my league. Well this is a learning experience for everyone. If the person who sold you the computer said they did not have the Microsoft Office for mac disk or product key code, it should have brought your purchase price down a bit. I think the cheapest copy is about $120. I'm sorry I can't help you with everything. Good Luck.

I have iphoto 7.1.5. How can I update iphoto without buying ilife, which i don't need?

I'm not sure where you are seeing the "negative reviews" but I like it and many, many people posting here do even though this is a forum for people with problems
No one knows when the next upgrade will be bu tit will require a purchase
I'm sure that there will be a few more updated for iPhoto '11 but probably not many - it has had a lot and is approaching the end of its life cycle I would think
And be sure to have a good backup prior to upgrading (as always) - I suggest in addition to your normal backup routine that you make one more copy of the iPhoto library on your main hard drive if you have space - remember that you need a minimum of 10 GB of free space jus tto run your Mac
And prior to launching iPhoto '11 the first time be sure to run software update and be sure it is up to the latest version

Was iVideo purchased on the app store? If so, both iPhoto and iVideo can be updated via the App Store. (You can click on Software Update under the Apple menu at the top left of your display).

I can't update iPhoto, GarageBand nor iMovie, and I can't open iPhoto at all.

I can't update iPhoto, GarageBand nor iMovie, and iPhoto is the only one I can't open at all. I bought my Macbook half a year ago and when I try to update the Apps it says it's being modified and then that there was an error with Apple Store ):

There is an issue with update servers today, so you'll have to wait anyway.

Uploaded Yosemite and can't update iPhoto. message is that the app was bought by another user or cancelled. Not true. What should I do?

How can I get a 'redeem code'? I have the same problem.
In that case you need a redeem code for iPhoto from the App Store to be able to update.
Obviously you contact App store support - link is on the right of the App store window

How can I put my recently purchased iTunes movies on to my thumb drive and WD My Passport external hard drive. My Mac keeps saying "can't be copy because it is too large for the volumes format

How can I put my recently purchased iTunes movies onto my thumb drive and WD my passport external hard drive.My Mac is saying that can't be copied because it is too large for volumes format

[file] is too large for the volumes format
That is usually an indication that the Volume was never Erased or Partitioned for GUID partition table and Mac OS, and is still in a Windows format.
Mac OS X Extended (journaled) has no such file-size limitations

How can I see my recently purchased items in iTunes/App Store as money has been taken out of my bank

Dose anyone know how I can look at my account and see recent purchases as money has gone out of my bank

You can view your full purchase history via your computer's iTunes : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
On your iPhone you can only view your recent purchases (the last 90 days) via http://reportaproblem.apple.com (that site also allows you to contact support if you have a problem with a purchase)

Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try updating your apps.
