Can't update iPhoto to 9.2.1 through App Store

So, I did a search and found someone had this issue a while ago, but there was no real resolution for it, just a bunch of condescending answers from TD. I'm on a pretty new iMac with iLife '11 pre-shipped on it. At home I have a MacBook with iLife '11 installed from retail DVD. At home I can run software update or download the 9.2.1 update just fine. However, on the pre-configured machine it says I HAVE to go through the App Store to update. So I do. 9.2.1 is on there, but it says I have it installed. About iPhoto CLEARLY states that I have 9.1.5 (that was for TD, you know who you are). Now I can't open my photo library at work because i'm on an older version. The original thread was from a year ago. Apparently Apple has yet to fix this snycing issue?

Never mind. Today it detected that it was out of date and is updating right now.

    Can I download it online?

    Nope.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455 explains how to get 10.6.6 to get the App Store.
    Only upgrade to 10.7 or later if you are prepared:

    Step number one - Back up all your important data!
    Seriously, it sounds like you are working without backups. Don't ever do this. Hard drives fail, it is a fact of life. Don't be one of those who get caught without a backup. An external hard drive, burning it all to DVDs, or online backup will save you frustration and money.
    Two - don't expect a new operating system to improve performance. Get the computer running as best as it can before you upgrade. You may need more RAM or a bigger hard drive.

  • Trying to update iPhoto to 9.5.1 but app store says its installed and the iPhoto on my computer is 9.4 ?

    my computer is running iphoto 9.4 something but the app store says 9.5.1 is insstalled an won't let me try to update it??

    while it is possible to keep two different copies of iPhto around it is a really bad idea
    the iPhoto application MUST be in the applications folder on your main boot drive - if it is anywhere else it will not update - if you have multiple copies of the iPhoto Application you must delete all except the one in your applicaitions folder on your boot drive
    You need to get rid of all iPhoto applications except the one in your Applicatiosn folder on the boot drive (third time for this suggestion) and update it to the latest then update all iPhoto libraries to work with it

  • I cannot update IPhoto or IMovie- Error message from App Store

    Hi there-
    I cannot update IPhoto or IMovie. I have the latest OS. I cannot use these Apps either- they both ask me to update to the newest version, but when I try to I get an error message saying that the App store could not complete my request and to please try again later (null). Any ideas??

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select
    /var/log ▹ appstore.log
    from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, click the Clear Display button in the toolbar of the Console window and then try the installation again.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • HT5900 Hi I am in Ireland and while apple tv is very limited over here I still have one, My request please can u update apple tv to work as the app store I already subscribe to app which are not available in the updates you release can you fix this please

    Can you update the video and Tv series abilities of apple tv in Ireland

    First, not all features are available in all regions.  This is clearly stated on the Apple website.
    Second, these are user to user support forums.  No one here has any control over what is available on the ATV.

  • Can't update iPhoto after loading yosemite

    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

    You might try resetting the App Store application and clear the cookies via this menu:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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?

    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.

    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:

  • 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.
