Do I have to upgrade iPhoto to use photostream?
Being a bit lazy (and poor) I don't constantly upgrade my software. I upgraded my iMac OS either last year or late 2011 and it is now operating on OSX10.8.4. It is running iPhoto 8.1.2. I bought an iPad later on that year and it looks as if I have to upgrade the iPhoto software on my Mac if I want it to be compatible with Photostream. I would have thought, having essentially purchased iPhoto along with my operating system and given that iPads were selling like hot cakes at the time, that I would get my iPhoto software updated as well. Oh well, looks like I'm wrong and I have to fork out another £11 to get it all working together. Is this correct?
You have iPhoto '09, and Photo Stream requires iPhoto '11, so you have to upgrade. Purchase iPhoto in the Mac App Store and then, open System Preferences > iCloud, and mark Photo Stream.
Finally, open iPhoto, and after upgrading the library, select Photo Stream in the sidebar and enable it. You can use Photo Stream. Make a backup of the iPhoto library before upgrading the application, or at least a copy of the library on a different folder

I have recently downloaded IOS X Lion and I want to upgrade Iphoto to use with ICloud, I can't see the upgraded anywhere on the computer in system updates or on APP store updates. Where can I find this?
If you have lion and iPhoto '11 (latest version is 9.2.1) you can set up and turn on iCloud there and if you have IOS 5 on your mobile then your mobile devices will sync with your Mac
If this does not cover what you need please describe your situation in more detail

HI just brought a second user iMac which they purchased iPhoto ... at present there is an upgrade but i can't install because i didn't purchase is there anyway of upgrading iPhoto without using the fist users name and password
No, if they bought it, then its theirs. You may wish to contract iTS for options in case it was part of the Mac Acceptance.

I have problem upgrading iphoto library 9.6.2
I lost my Ihoto and I downloaded it again. Now, while trying to open it, it says that i Have to upgrade(?) again, and whwn I do, it doesn't stop working... What's wrong?
I opened the photos in my time machine and it instructed me to upgrade the application. I selected upgrade and an icon flipped out of the screen; I followed the instructions to go to the finder and click the "GO" menu. I could not find it in the finder. Was the download successful?

Upgraded to yosemite, now I have to upgrade Iphoto
How do I go about upgrading to the new iPhoto without encountering the problems described by others with the photo library? Is it too late to do a full system back up? I made a mistake by not backing up prior to the Yosemite upgrade. The back up I do have is quite stale.
Make a back up of your iPhoto Library, then upgrade:
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
Remember most people upgrade with no problems. -
Why do I have to pay to upgrade iPhoto to photo stream in iCloud. I don't use this program
Why do I have to pay to upgrade iPhoto to use photo stream on my iMac. That upgrade or update should have been included in Lion!!!!!
Photo Stream alswo works with Aperture. That is the application I use. I rarely use iPhoto (09).

I just upgraded iphoto, but it is version 7.1.5 (and called iPhoto 8). Do I have to pay for iPhoto 9 in order to use photo stream?
To use Photo Stream, you will need iPhoto 9.2 at least. This is a major upgrade from iPhoto 7.1.5 and you will have to buy it.
See:
iPhoto and Aperture: Using Photo Stream

I have installed the iPhoto Library upgrade, which confirms it was successfully installed, however when ever I try to open iPhoto 11, it refers me back to the bloody library upgrade again, so I can't use iPhoto any more.
Thanks, it worked first time that I double clicked as you suggested.
Why do Apple make it so hard to upgrade some programs? They could make the follow through instructions a lot clearer.
Now I have it open- it works and..................... it does look pretty neat. -
I have just upgraded to OS X Mavericks. It wanted me to upgrade my 20000 photos before the New iphoto could use them. I did. 43.6GB of photos became 1.8GB of very small photos of arounf 178KB instead of 2.5MB. Can't do anything with them. Help?
The obvious and simple solution is to restore from the back up you made before upgrading.
Other than that you'll need to give us a lot more detail. Mavericks doesn't ask you to upgrade your Photos, upgrading to a later iPhoto asks you about upgrading the Library. Where is the library? What version were you upgrading from? Anything else you can tell us that might help understand the problem you're having. -
I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8, and I need to download Adobe Digital Editions. Is there any way to download an earlier version so I don't have to upgrade my system?
OT,
I have the exact same question as heathy32 (I just want to get a photobook ordered, but I'm currently running iPhoto 7.1.5 with OS X 10.6.8 and discovered right at the end of the process of making this photobook that it's no longer supported with the versions I have) but I just wanted to check something with you before I proceed with the iLife 11 disk...
Namely: do I need download the iPhoto Library Upgrader first?
There seem to be issues discussed in other forums about the Upgrader, I want to make sure I don't do something like downloading it if that isn't strictly necessary.
I am perfectly happy just to install iPhoto 9 and upgrade to 9.2.3 using the updater you link to, just so long as I can get a photo book printed!
Once that is safely out of the way, I intend to upgrade to Maverick etc.
Your thoughts very welcome
Thank you. -
When they un-upgrade iPhoto email templates? Along with Apple Maps, another software I won't use anymore.
You can go back by restoreing your backup of the iPhoto library from the previous version a installing the previous version for its original source
Of course I use iPhoto - and I have not idea what
Do you use iPhoto? What version are you using and have you sent photos using it from the iPhoto and used the older templates?
means
one last time if you want help you have to start by being percise and shaing information - for example "older version" is of no help since there are 40 or 50 older versions
again
Sorry but if you have a question then you need to provide information - what are you talking about? What version of iPhoto and what OS version do you have? What upgrade are you talking about? what e-mail client are you using?

HT5037 I have downloaded the iphoto upgrader but it doesn't appear to work
when I launch iphoto 11 on my new imac it still says I need to use the upgrader - even tho it appear to have executed. Any ideas?
Many thanks, DonOption 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I have an older iMac running 10.7.5. It has iPhoto 6.0.6. I am trying to upgrade iPhoto, but cannot find any way possible to buy or upgrade it beyond present level. Recognize may not be possible to get 'current' but would welcome getting as close as possible...
Thanks for any advice.If you do get an iLife 11 disk and install iPhoto it will be v9.0. You can run v9.4.3 so you'll need to use the following updaters to get to it:
update to iPhoto 9.2.1
update to iPhoto 9.3
update to iPhoto 9.3.2
update to iPhoto 9.4
and finally to iPhoto 9.4.3 -
ever since I upgraded iPhoto to 9.5, my camcorder videos aren't all downloading properly and I have several of the videos to say a necessary data reference could not be found. I also can see many of the pixels on the video footage that was downloaded. Anyone have any suggestions???
What version of iPhoto and system are you using? Also what camera make and model are you using?
See if you can download all of the videos to a folder on the Desktop using Image Capture and import into iPhoto from that folder.

After upgrading iPhoto for Yosemite I have lost virtually all my photos in iPhoto. What's going on??
Help! I recently upgraded to Yosemite OS on my iMac desktop. I then needed to upgrade iPhoto which I did yesterday. Now, when I open my iPhoto icon there are only about 100 photos left of probably about 1,000. I should mention that all the photos WERE there at first but then I moved my iPhoto Library to the dock and when I opened it, most were gone. Does anyone know how I can get my photos back??? Please help.
Ok
It is best not to move your iPhoto library around and there is no need to have it available from the dock - leave the iphoto libraries in your uses folder - to sitc between libraries hold dow the option key while lunching iphoto - use the resuling select library window to select the library you want - it will remain your default library until you switch again
