Cannot update iphoto 11 software

Checking for software updates and find iphoto 11 update available.  However, the app store will not allow access to update the software.  Is there a fix?

Yes, Software update says that " We could not complete your request.  There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)
I've been trying for 4 days, with the same response.  Other Software Updates are being downloaded ok.  However,  the update for iphoto 11 cannot be updated.

    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...

  • I cannot update iPhoto to v9.4.2 from v9.2.

  • My iPhoto will not work with Yosemite, and it says that it was purchased under a different account, but that's not the case.  Any ideas why I cannot update iPhoto?

    my iPhoto will not work with Yosemite, and it says that it was purchased under a different account, but that's not the case.  Any ideas why I cannot update iPhoto?

    How did you buy iPhoto? Did it come preinstalled on your computer with Lion or later, or did it come with Snowleopard on system installer disks?
    Which version of iPhoto?
    If you have a version of iPhoto '11 and it is showing on the Purchased tab of the App Store, with your Apple ID, then delete iPhoto from the Applications folder  (don't empty the Trash) and download iPhoto again from the Purchased tab.
    If that does not work, contact The App Store Support  from the Quick Links on the AppStore main page.
    Only apple Support can fix problems with apple ID.

  • I cannot update iphoto

    I am having trouble updating my brand new macbook pro! I was able to update the software (OS X 10.8.2), but I am unable to update iphoto and imovie. It continues to tell me that the apps were downloaded under another name and to sign in that name to download the updates. THe problem is, I just received this computer new and have no other apple id! PLEASE HELP!!

    I've seen some cases like your problem here, so I think it's a common problem. In the past, Apple gave a DVD with iLife applications and they were installed, so you didn't have to worry about this, but now, you have to download them in the App Store

  • After upgrading to Mavericks cannot update iPhoto or iMovie

    Update Unavailable with This Apple ID - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
    I've browsed through the support communities and found numerous reports of this problem, but no consistant resolution.
    Both iPhoto and iMovie came installed on my MacBook Pro (purchased Dec. 2010). Consequently, they were not purchased using an Apple ID.
    I'm not sure about iMovie, but iPhoto has been updated in the 3+ years I have had this computer.
    I just downloaded, and installed iPhoto 9.4.3 from the Apple website with no problem, but cannot update to 9.5.1.

    Tried download next day and it was working normally. It must need a day to catch up.

  • Cannot update any system software

    I currently cannot update any system/apple software in any way.
    If I run Software Update from the apple menu/system prefs, it informs me that my software is up to date, even though this is clearly not the case.
    If I download the updates manually from Apple's website, they refuse to install. When I get to the Destination selection screen (i.e. "Select a Destination: <list of volumes>"), my startup disk is disabled! In the Installer log it says the following:
    === Starting check on volume /
    Requirement: requires "certain file content criteria" PASS for root=/, domain=0
    Requirement: requires "certain InstallationCheck criteria" PASS for root=/, domain=0
    Requirement: requires "certain VolumeCheck criteria" FAIL for root=/, domain=0
    === Starting check on volume /
    Requirement: requires "certain file content criteria" PASS for root=/, domain=0
    _volumeAppeared: volumeCheckTool disabled Ti (this is the startup volume's name)
    This first happened to me when I tried installing the QT 7.1 and Security Update 2006-003 updates back in May. It's still happening now with iTunes 6.0.5 and QT 7.1.2. The last thing I installed through SU was Security Update 2006-002 back in March.
    Any ideas? This really, really *****.

    PowerBook G4 867 mHz Mac OS X (10.3.9) 512 MB RAM, FireLite 80GB FW disk

    hm, you used to be able to edit your own posts. not anymore i guess.
    the thing i want to add is that i have repaired both my permissions and the disk itself on the startup volume, to no avail. neither console.log nor system.log say anything when Installer fails on its volume checks.

  • Cannot update iPhoto...

    I have iPhoto 8.1.2, and I cannot update it because on apple's website, the next update is 9.1, but in order to install that update I have to have iPhoto 9.0 and above. Does anyone know how I can bypass iPhoto 9.0 or how I can download an update for it? Because I don't see that update on the apple website.

    Download the current iPhoto version from the Mac App Store.

  • Cannot update iPhoto in yosemite

    I bought a used macbook with the apple ID and everything legal . I upgrade the system to Yosemite and now i can't upgrade iPhoto. Help me .Thank you.

    Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
    The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
    How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
    1. If you don't own another Mac
    a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
    2. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    3. Partition and install OS X
    a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the  Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
              OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
              The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
              You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
    In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
    d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
    4. Other issues
    a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

  • Cannot Update iPhoto, ask's me to log into account that purchased.

    I cannot update my iphoto 9.4 or my imovie in app store. When I press update it requests for me to ' To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.' however this is the account I used to purchase it.
    I am not sure what to do. I have tried re-logging in but to no avail.

    Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

  • Cannot update to latest software. error message states internet connection timed out

    Does anyone have a similar problem? I cannot update to the latest software for my I Phone 4. The error message says, internet connection timed out. Which is obviously has not. It also says check your internet settings. I am not sure what that means. I have windows 7.

    If the disabling the firewall doesnt help, then also try disabling your anti-virus, this was what was causing me an issue.
    Although make sure you re-enable both your firewall and anti-virus after the update completes.

  • Cannot update iPhoto after upgrading to Yosemite

    I have a Macbook Pro which I upgraded to Yosemite but now I cannot access iPhoto because it says I need to upgrade. The problem is that it won't let me upgrade because it says that it was either bought by a different user (I am the only user of this computer) or the item was refunded or cancelled. None of these are applicable. What can I do?

    In that case you'll need to contact the App Store support personnel via this website:  http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/

  • HT1338 After upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion I cannot update iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand

    Hi all
    On my iMac 27 (2011) I see that these updates are available but clicking on "Update all" gives me  the error message "These apps cannot be accepted on this computer. Future updates will be available through "Software Updates"" Any idea?
    I can, however, download apps from the app store. That works.
    Appreciate your ideas.
