Cant update iphoto

When I open iPhoto it tells me that there is a new version, so I go to software update, but there seem not to be any new software for my mac.

How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update
If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.
Other than that... what version of iPhoto do you have?

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Cant update iphoto. I am directed to sign in an account that is not mine, and I dont have a password to. what do I do. I have not updated in a very long time because of this problem.

    Dear All,
    Ever since i installed mountain lion to my imac, I have not been able to update my iphoto. I keep getting software update alert, but when I go to update, I am asked to log into a hotmail account which does not belong to me, and which I obviously do not have a password to. I am distracted by this.  can anyone please advice me on what to do? Thanks in advance

    Sorry LarryHN
    Your response did not help.!
    I did not purchase the computer from someone Else or i i Would have knoen the password could be thèrs, Besides only iPhoto and i movie  had that problem. Anyway,
    Fortunately i was able to find a solution from a thread where someone asked the same question. I did what they Said, which was something to dó with spotlight, and Bingo it Worlked.

  • I cant update iphoto 11.

    I keep getting a message saying i did buy this but need to login with a different Apple ID??.. I only have one Apple ID... I dont understand what to do. I am logged in under my apple ID...

    I am trying to update. It did show up under purchases and it said there was an available update. So i clicked it and it said i had to login under a different apple ID.. I only have 1 and thats what i was logged in as. I tried logging out and then back in and it still said the same thing.. BUT i clicked the X in purchases and now it is gone from there and i dont have the option to update anymore...

  • Cant get iPhoto to update

    I upgraded to Yosemite on my mac and I cant update iPhoto at all (or Final Cut Pro).  I keep getting the message that the update isnt available because it was bought by another user or the item was refunded or cancelled. 

    Fallingtree wrote:
    I cant even do that because I already downloaded Yosemite.  even before yosemite, if I clicked on iphoto it would ask to merge (i think)  I did that on my ipad but didnt sync all the folders.
    Sorry but that make no sense at al - either in the context of your question or as a separate question
    You original question is about getting iphoto to update
    Cant get iPhoto to update
    And you further state
      I keep getting the message that the update isnt available because it was bought by another user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
    the answer to that is
    If you are logged in with the Apple ID that was used to purchase iPhoto or to set up the computer if it came preinstalled then quit iPhoto, backup your iPhoto library  and drag the iphoto application to the trash (do not empty the trash yet) and then go to the App store and install iPhoto
    If that does not work contact the App store support - link is on the right of the App store window
    What happens exactly when you try the answer to your question?

  • Downloaded Lion and updated iphoto now I cant find my phto or itunes libraries?

    I downloaded the new Lion OS. I then updated Iphoto. Now I cant sem to locate my photo or itunes library. Any ideas?

    Your iPhoto Library should be in you Pictures folder and your iTunes folder with all your iTunes music should be in your Music folder under you logged in user ID.
    Did you upgrade to Lion from Snow Leopard when you downloaded Lion (assuming from an App Store purchase)? Or did you wipe/erase your hard drive and installed Lion that way? If the latter, hopefully you created a backup using Time Machine or some 3rd party image software like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. Your backup should have the same folders mentioned in the 1st paragraph that you can copy from.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and cant open iPhoto!  Saw an update for app but it won't let me; says not available for this AppleID because it was bought by a diff user or item was refunded.   Not so. What now?

    UPgraded to Yosemite and now I cant open iPhoto.  App says it needs to be updated but yet I cant udate cause it says update not available for this ID cause it was bought by another user (I only have 1 Apple Id) or item was refunded or cancelled.  ANY IDEAS?  Thnx!

    Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
    1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept it and the other iLife/iWork applications into your Apple ID, do so.
    2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
    3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
    4. Buy them.

  • Iphoto - trying to update iphoto to current ver. i get a message that says it cannot update because "file is not in orginal location"

    Hi,
    Ive moved my iphoto library to an external drive and it seems to be working fine launches from the external drive etc,
    I then updated iphoto to iphoto 11 and then attempted to update to the current version either 9.3 or 9.4 i dont recall - whatever the updated version is.
    I get a message that tells me that it cannot update because "file is not in original location"
    Im not sure which file or which location is being referred to here.
    im sure ive done something but cant seem to recall what that might have been...
    im a little puzzled though since it still launches etc.
    any help would be appreciated. (2007 imac)
    thx

    "file is not in original location"
    Is that the exact error message? When do you get this error? will your iPhoto library work properly withou the update?

  • HT1338 Why won't my MacBook Air Update iPhoto and iMovie ?

    I bought my macbook Air mid last year and the flash drive was faulty in it and i had to have it replaced and ever since that i cant use imessage as they didnt put the serial number back in and now i cant update some applications on my computer and as iPhoto and iMovie. when i try to update these applications it just says " to update this aplication, sign into the account you used to purchase it" i am on the sane account as what i have always used the only differance is i have changed the email from what it use to be

    The download takes a long time. If you have a Ethernet Adaptor use it. Try to locate a high-bandwidth wireless connection. Do you have enough free space on your SSD (including keeping 10-20% empty for VMEM and temporary files)
