Cant update iphoto because its under another user

I can´t update or use my iPhoto with Yosemite because its under another user and I don´t wan´t to lose my photos.

You need to either update it from the Apple ID used to download it or delete and redownload it; on a Mac, this won’t erase your photos or the application’s other data, but they should be backed up anyway.

  • I cant update Iphoto because of user account

    Hi, I bought a second-hand Macbook from an aquiantance which already had all the basic apps like imovie, iphoto, etc. Now, after updating to Yosemite I realise I also have to update iphoto. So, the problem is that it was purchased by the account of the previous owner of the macbook. So now this pop-up appears when I try to update it. I wouldnt mind having the old version, but it wont open. I NEED to update in order to use iphoto. I have pictures stored in the old version I cant recover, and they were emotionally important to me. Any ideas??
    Thank you

    In the Applications folder on your computer drag the application you wish to own to the trash and then go to the App Store and purchase and install them

  • I cant update iphoto since uploading to Maverick

    Maverick wont let me open iphoto & i cant update iphoto with my old or current apple id

    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)
    Assuming that you have some version of iPhoto '11 it should be available under the purchases tab
    You can try trashing the iPhoto Application (do not empty the trash until everything is working ok) and then installing from the App store
    If that is not working then you must contact App store suport - link is on the right of the App store window

    If you've never set them then are you able to log into your account via the 'manage your Apple ID' button/link on http://appleid.apple.com, click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of the page that you are taken to, and can you then set them on the right-hand side of that screen ?
    If not then is there a reset link beneath the two questions that show on that screen ? The link will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

  • How can I cope iPhotos from one to another user on the same mac

    How can I copy my iphotos from on user to another on the same mac?

    Depending on how many pictures you wish to share there are different options.
    1) Steps to share your whole iPhoto Library
    A) Share your photos
    Firstly setup a shared folder that the other user(s) will be able to access. This can be done in System Preferences, Sharing, then selecting the checkbox next to 'File Sharing'. You'll then want to select the folder to share and also the users who can access it.
    In your instance, I would suggest sharing the folder where your 'iPhoto Library' file resides, which is most likely going to be in the default 'Pictures' folder. The other user will then be able to access your 'iPhoto Library' in their iPhoto application under their user account and see all contents in your iPhoto library.
    B) Configure the other users iPhoto to access your shared iPhoto Library (or any library of your choice)
    Logout of your account and into the user who requires access to your iPhoto Library. Find the iPhoto application, press and hold the option/alt key and click to open the application. 'What photo library do you want iPhoto to use?' will appear in a window, click 'Choose', navigate to your preferred iPhoto Library and iPhoto will now load your pictures.
    2) Steps to share a few selected pictures
    You will follow the same steps as above in order to setup a shared pictures folder, however in your user account, drag and drop photos out of your iPhoto library into a shared folder which the other user can access.
    Notes:
    The method of sharing your whole iPhoto Library means that both users will be accessing/editing the same library. This means you will be able to see pictures imported/edited by each other. If this is undesired, you can create a copy of your iPhoto library on the 2nd user account instead of both accounts running the same library from a shared folder.

  • How do I move organized photos from dropbox to iPhoto and share with another user on the same mac?

    I have about 3,500 photos sitting in dropbox and just purchased my first mac yesterday.  My husband and I each have our own Ipad and our own user id's on the mac.  I moved two of the folders to Iphoto and it shows up on my screen in the right folders.  However, on my Ipad, it shows all of them under one Photostream and not organized.  They don't show up on my husband's "side of the computer" at all. 
    So my questions are:
    1.  How does one mirror their file organization on the Ipad?
    2.  How does one share all of the folders with another user on the same Ipad so they can view folders, and add pictures to the folders if they like?
    Thanks!

    1.  How does one mirror their file organization on the Ipad?
    If you use the Photo Stream, the organisation in iPhoto will be lost - there is just one endless stream.  YOu could sync your photos using iTunes. Then you will see the synced albums in the Photos.app on the iPad.
    See this link:   iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    How does one share all of the folders with another user on the same Ipad so they can view folders, and add pictures to the folders if they like?
    On the same iPad?  Do you mean on the same mac?
    If you want to share an iPhoto library between two users on the same mac, the iPhoto library should be on a separate disk partition or even better, on a separate external disk. Then you can set the flag "Ignore ownership on this volume" to avoid permission problems. Both of you will be able to browse the iPhoto library and can edit the photos within.
    See this support document:  iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    If both of you want to keep separate iPhoto libraries but share the photos, you could share selected albums as Shared PhotoStreams and invite each other to browse them. This would require iOS 7. Do you have iOS 7 on your iPad?  Each Shared Photo Stream will be shown as a separate album on your iPad .

  • Cant Update iPhoto & imovie

    trying to update Iphoto app i reciever this message, "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."
    This is not the case as this laptop was given to me by my company "Weather Channel" to use. How do i correct this issue!? Any hlp would be appreciated. FYI, i deleted the old IPhoto app and am worried that I'll have to pay for the app again.

    You hae to log into the App store using the Apple ID that was used to set up the computer to update the applications associated with that Apple ID
    Otherwise you need to contact the App store suport to see if they can help (link is on the right of the app store windw) or puchase your own copies of the applications

    Hi,
    As you may know, in versions 10gR1 and higher, Oracle recommends the use of dbms_scheduler instead of dbms_job.
    You can easily create jobs in other user's schemas using dbms_scheduler, but this is not supported in dbms_job.
    dbms_ijob is an Oracle internal package which should never be called directly (it is neither supported or recommended by Oracle and doing any updates may break this usage). What you should be doing is connecting as that user and then using dbms_job.submit (or better yet using dbms_scheduler.create_job).
    The error message you are getting is because you are not calling the internal procedure correctly. This procedure is not officially documented by Oracle and your use of it will not be supported by Oracle.
    Hope this helps,
    Ravi.

  • How can I share my iPhoto '08 Library with another user account?

    I found a post that tells how to share my library so that two user accounts on my iMac have full read and write access to my iPhoto Library, but I can't find the Library. It should be under /users/myname/pictures/iphoto library/data according to a Spotlight search I used to find a photo in my library, but that folder can't be seen in Finder.

    Mike
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    No, your Library should not be under
    /users/myname/pictures/iphoto library/data
    That's the location of a thumbnail within the Library. Using Spotlight to search the Library is dangerous as Spotlight doesn't understand how the Library is structured.
    By default - unless you moved it - the Library is in your Pictures Folder.
    /users/myname/pictures
    As to Sharing with iPhoto 08:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. The problem here is that OS X works very hard to keep your data safe and secure from the other users. You're trying to beat what's built in to the system. So, to beat the system
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.
    In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
    Lastly: This method seems a little clunky at first, but works very well. Most importantly, it uses the System to do the job for you.
    Create a new Account on your Mac, call it Media. Create an iPhoto Library there. (BTW: This will work for iTunes too.)
    Enable Sharing on the Library:(Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other accounts. In those accounts, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Library will appear in the other source pane.
    This means that both users will be able to see the pics. If you want to use a pic then simply drag it from the shared Library to your own in the iPhoto Window. This means that each user can have their own edits.
    If you want to add photos to the Library: Log into the Media account for that purpose.
    To make it all seamless: Set your Mac to log into the Media Account automatically. Set iPhoto to launch on log-in. Then switch to your own account using Fast User Switching.
    Net result: a Library that's permanently available to all users but also protected. Each user can have their own versions of the pics if they want.
    No partitioning, no permissions issues. Uses no extra disk space. What's not to like?
    Note: This process is simple in iPhoto 09, and requires none of these hoops. If this is a key feature for you you might consider upgrading.

  • HT1229 I cannot view pictures in iPhoto that are in another user.

    WE have loads of pictures on another user, but I can't view them on my profile? I'm sure this is a simple fix, just still getting used to my new Imac.

    To view the other user's library setup fast user switching in the System/Accounts preference pane. Then log into the other user and open their library and leave it open.
    Also setup Sharing in iPhoto's Sharing preference pane in both accounts
    Return to your account and you'll be able to view the photos in the other account via iPhoto.

  • Exporting photos from iPhoto admins account to another users iphoto account

    Hi all
    Probably a silly question but I have just set up another family member with their own login on my mac and am wondering how to transfer/export pictures from my iPhoto folders to the other user login' iPhoto

    Enable iPhoto Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane. Pics can then be dragged from your Library in the iPhoto Window to theirs.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

  • Unable to synch iPhoto when photos are another user's

    Hi
    I've had Apple TV for a few months and am unable to figure out how to synch an iPhoto library to our Apple TV. The problem is that the pictures are contained in an iPhoto library from another user on the same computer - my wife has all our pictures on her side of our iMac and I am unable to select her iPhoto library (inside of iTunes on my side of the computer) to synch our pictures to Apple TV (her iPhoto library is grayed out when I navigate to the folder). I have checked all folder permissions and sharing and it seems to be ok for me to edit/view, any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance

    It's not designed to do that.
    Only thing to do would be to either add the photos to your iPhoto library or set up your wife's iTunes as a Shared library for AppleTV and when her account is active you could then Stream photos but not sync them.
