Can't upgrade iPhoto with Mavericks

I upgraded to OS Maverick, now iPhoto doesn't work. I tried to download the iPhoto Update but it tells me "this is not available for this Apple ID  because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. I went to the purchases- nothing there about iPhoto and nothing hidden, I reset alerts. Still no work. I went to associate my User (again) in the Apple preferences.. still not work. I don't know what to try next. I am on Day 2 of trying to upgrade my MacBook

Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
Step 1
A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
Step 2
If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
Step 3
If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
Step 4
From the App Store menu bar, select
          Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.

  • 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 I upgrade IPhoto 6.0.6 to Iphoto 11' on my Mac OS 10.4.1 ?

    Thanks. So I understand I can't. What can I do with my IPhoto 6.0.6 , I had a message saying it's not possible anymore to edit albums from this version. Is there another version compatible with my Mac 10.4.1 ?

  • Okay I use iPhoto 6 on an older mac and don't want to upgrade past 10.4.11. Can I upgrade iPhoto without the newer operating system? For the life of me I can't get iPhoto to recognize my camera reliably - although it does sometimes. Any advice, help?

    Mac OS X does not offer a Clean install option.    If by clean install you mean erasing the system, that is not recommended unless:
    1. You bought a used/refurbished Mac and there is software on it without any accompanying discs, and it is older than July 20, 2011 in model release:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6413
    Or if it is at or newer, then erase it if it has applications installed that would not have been prebundled with it and you have no CDs for those applications.
    You don't want someone else's software keys, or accounts, or to be running unlicensed software.  At and newer Macs offer a built-in internet restore for their software with a command-R boot that lets you erase the system with Disk Utility, and then install from the internet the latest operating system.
    2. You have a hardware issue and want to eliminate possible software issues as the cause when troubleshooting a problem all at once.
    Issues affecting a new install have to be isolated before you attempt it.   Unless you know it is software or hardware, erasing may only mask other problems.

    I bought a iPad new on Aug.30. Can I upgrade it with an A6x edition ?

    If you bought if from Apple then they have a 14 day returns period, and they don't do trade-ins or upgrades. If you bought it from a different store then check their returns policy.

  • Since my macbook pro is an intel core duo but not a core 2 duo, I cannot upgrade to Yosemite.  So... what OS X can I upgrade to with this computer?

    Since my macbook pro is an intel core duo but not a core 2 duo, I cannot upgrade to Yosemite.  So... what OS X can I upgrade to with this computer? Thanks for the input.

    Intel Core Duo is a 32-bit processor, so the latest Mac OS X version you can install is Mac OS X Snow Leopard -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You are running Mac OS X 10.6.8, so you are already running the most recent Mac OS X version for your computer.

  • Photos Missing from iPhoto with Maverick Upgrade

    I have recently upgraded to the Maverick OS and noticed that all my photos are now missing from iPhoto however I can see them under Preview when I use the Finder application. Also, when I open iPhoto it prompts me to enter personalized settings as if I am using it for the first time (ie: Face recognition, etc.) How can I get my photos back into iPhoto? I am worried I may lose them.

    Have you upgraded iPhoto after your Mavericks upgrade?
    Be aware after updating iPhoto save your iPhoto Library before you open it in the new version of iPhoto Library. If you don't and you have other Macs running eariler versions of iPhoto, they won't be able to open the Library.

  • HT5037 Upgrading Iphoto to Maverick

    I upgraded my IPhoto on Maverick per Apple'sinstructions.  Now I can't see any of my photos.  Only a dotted outline with the name.  HELP!  HOW DO I GET THEM BACK.

    Try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Can't access iPhoto with new OS X.  Are all my pictures still there?

    Updated to OS X and now I can't access my iPhoto.  I have 9.1.5 and it says I can't use this with OS X.  Will all of my photos still be there is I update to a newer version of iPhoto?  I haven't backed up my iPhoto Library and unsure that I even can considering I can't open iPhoto at all. 

    This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks.  It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
    Note 1:  every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
    Note 2:  If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1.

  • Can't upgrade iPhoto '09 library to '11

    Installed iLife 11 and started iPhoto. When I start it, the app tells me I need to upgrade my iLife '09 library. I click Upgrade, and it says it is "unable to open this library" and quits.
    I tried deleting the .plist file; also tried opening iPhoto with Command and Option keys held down and repairing/rebuilding permissions; no dice on any of it.
    Any ideas?

    I was having the same problem. After installing iLife '11 I opened the new iPhoto '11 and I got the standard "this library needs to be upgraded" message. I, naturally, clicked upgrade. After the second progress bar appeared and started to progress it stalled. The spinning wheel in the iPhoto window did the same, then iPhoto promptly crashed.
    The solution that I came up with was starting my computer in target disk mode to connect to another mac with iLife '09. First, I rebuilt the iphoto library and had it repair permissions to see if those were the problems. You can do that by holding command-option while opening iPhoto and you get a few options for rebuilding/checking different parts of the iPhoto library.
    That didn't seem to make a difference when I tried upgrading the library again in iPhoto '11, but it could have made a difference further down the line.
    So, I started in target disk mode again and opened my library with the iPhoto '09 again, but this time I went through and deleted all of the videos I had in my iPhoto library. I manually copied and pasted them into a separate folder on my computer before emptying the trash.
    When I restarted and opened iPhoto '11 after getting rid of my movies the library upgrade went just fine. Now, I don't know if the problem was the fact that I had movies or the fact that the movies were AVIs. I think it was the fact that they were AVI files because I saw something about AVI come up in the crash reporter when the library updates caused iphoto to crash.
    This may not be the exact problem that all of you have been experiencing, but I hope this helps someone.
