Error in installing iphoto 6

Hi. I just converted to a new powermac G5 and started using iphoto.
I tried upgrading iphoto 5 to iphoto 6 but during the install when I'm asked to
"Select a destination volume to install the iphoto Update 6.0.2 software." I get a red stop sign when I click on the icon "Macintosh HD 233GB (219GB free)". It states "you can not install iphoto Update 6.0.2 on this volume. an eligible iphoto application was not found in the loction /Applications/iphoto.app".
I've read on here that I need ilife 6 but I thought this new computer (purchased oct/05) had it already on. Do I need to purchase it or is there something else I need to do on the install.
Thanks you for any advice!
powermac g5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thanks Lori, that's what I finally figured.
I'll go ahead and purchase it.
I appreciate the help!

Just installed iLife and get error message on iPhoto - damaged or incomplete

I have a Mac version 10.9.4. iPhoto worked fine.
I previously had a Mac and bought iLife 11 for it.
I have just installed the iLife 11 on the new Mac.
Now my iPhoto will not work. The error message I get is "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete.'
I don't want to delete the app and re-install it yet because I fear losing all my precious photographs.
Can anyone tell me if my photographs will be saved? I have literally thousands.
Is there any other fix?

Your photos are stored in your iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder. Reinstalling iPhoto will not delete the iPhoto library, only the iPhoto application will be replaced.
The iPhoto version, that comes with the iLife '11 DVD is not compatible with OS X 10.9.4, you need to install iPhoto 9.5.1 from the App Store. Remove the damaged iPhoto.app version from the Applications folder and download iPhoto 9.5.1 from the Purchased tab of the App Store.

Error Message when installing IPHOTO 4.0

I had to purchase IPHOTO 4.0 because Apple no longer supports IPHOTO 2.0 for Mac photo books. When I tried to install IPHOTO 4.0 this message appears "This installation cannot proceed because one of the following applications is running - ITUNES, IPHOTO, IMOVIE" All these applications are not running, I have turned off my computer and on again and continue to get the same message. What am I to do? I have a PHOTO book ready to go and can't get past this message. Thanks. Marge R

I can't upload photos from iphoto (on my iMac) to facebook. Error message comes up saying 'error occurred with iphoto - try again later'. I've installed the latest software updates but still can't get the photos to upload. Can anyone help please.

Hi, Hope this is in the right place.
I'm trying to upload photos into facebook from my iMac. I've clicked on the upload to facebook icon in iphoto but just get an error message saying 'error occurred with iPhoto - try again later. I've also had problems lately when I click on a photo to open it I just get a grey screen with an exclamation mark. I've downloaded the latest software but nothing seems to work.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks hopefully,
Karen

Karen,
I'd recommend reposting in the iPhoto forum, you can find it at:

Problem updating pre-installed iPhoto and iMovie "to update this application, sign into the account you used to purchase it"

My dad bought a new retina macbook pro over a year ago.
The pre-installed iPhoto and iMovie applicaitons get this error when trying to download an update:
"to update this application, sign into the account you used to purchase it"
We are logged into the only account that he has ever had.
He has mountain lion.
It's very annoying and there's no way we know of to get around it. Searching and searching online led nowhere.
Please help!!!!!

You cannot.
As requested... You need to use the SAME Apple ID that Originally made the Purchase of whatever Application you are trying to Update.

Error when copying iPhoto Library to new computer

Hello! I just got a MacBook Pro and I am trying to transfer my old iPhoto library (Macbook) to my new computer. I followed the suggestions on this forum to copy my iPhoto Library from my Pictures folder to my new computer. It gave me an error/warning message: "One or more items can’t be copied to “Desktop” because you don’t have permission to read them. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?" I said yes, and it copied about 15G of my 17G iPhoto library. Then when I opened iPhoto most of my photos were there, except the movies from my iPhone and many (but not necessarily all) modified pictures taken from my iPhone (most often pictures that were taken landscape). The thumbnails are there, but the actual files weren't transferred, so I get the big exclamation mark.
I have now deleted the iPhoto Library folder that was only partially transferred due to the permissions and I would like to start over. Why do I not have "permission to read" certain files? I am doing the transfer via file sharing wirelessly. I have the whole HD set to be read/write by my mobileme alias. As a side note, I tried to just select the iPhoto Library for sharing but it wouldn't allow that, so I selected the whole HD.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Didn't make a difference It still says I don't have permission for some of the files. But I'm glad I got the disk repaired.
The old computer is running iPhoto '09, could that be part of the problem? We have a family pack of iLife '11 at work so right now I'm installing iPhoto '11.
Do you think that will help? Any other suggestions?
I would backup of course and try to update the iLife 09 to '11 and see if that works. I think I recall some changes in the iPhoto database from '09 to '11.
Best of Luck!
Thanks!

Can't install iphoto 6 on mac g4

HI, is there a trick to installing iphoto 6 on a g4 flat panel. 700hz machine. It won't install. Says there is an error. Tried everything. Thanks.

Yes, that easy, unless you’re a: Using the wrong disk (for instance, trying to install it from a System Restore disk from another model of Mac) b: A faulty disk or c: a faulty drive.
That machine can certainly run iPhoto 6.

Unable to install iPhoto from App Store after Mountain Lion Upgrade

Hi,
I've formated and installed Mountain Lion. Unfortunately every time I try to install iPhoto from the App store it starts the download goes up to 10MB and goes to zero. After three times it gives up and tells me that there is an error and I should try again from purchases.
This also happens with others like garage band etc.
I can use it to install others like Xcode without a problem.
What can I do?

There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store window

Error message on iPhoto 9.5.1

I have mavericks and I photo 9.5.1. when I try to start iPhoto get error message "can't open album. Upgrade to latest version. But I can't reinstall as in app store it says iPhoto already installed. what do i do?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

After installing iPhoto 08, I can no longer synch photos to my 5G ipod

After installing iPhoto '08, I can no longer synch my iphoto library to my ipod. It comes up with a cryptic error message that says "an unknown error occurred" and lists it as -50.
I have done a FULL RESTORE on my ipod and got the same error immediately upon trying to synch the iphoto instead of a directory (gets the error after pressing the apply button in itunes).

I'm not much help here, but I've had a similar (but slightly different) problem. I have my iPhoto library on an external drive. After installing iPhoto '08, iTunes no longer recognized my iPhoto library, and it won't let me select it. I had over 10,000 photos synced with my iPod. Now I have none.

Can't install iphoto 9

After about an hour, the progress bar gets to 1GB out of a total of 1.15GB and then I get a red error message "an error has occured" and can't go any further. I am trying to install now for the third time, but any ideas?

Also make sure you have plenty of free space on your boot drive. I'd also run Disk Utility to repair disk permissions and verify the drive.
Is your profile correct, i.e. the system version? Are you trying to install iPhoto from the App Store?

Can not open and install iphoto! What`s the problem?

Can not open and install iphoto! What`s the problem?

The problem is, apparently, that you can neither open nor install iPhoto.
Seriously, you give us nothing to work with.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

"The product distribution file could not be verified" while attempting to install iPhoto

Hello,
I have accidentally deleted my iPhoto '11 application, because the iPhoto icon was showing up twice in the Applications (F4 key) and I wanted to clear the space up.
I have disks that came with my MacBook but they are somewhere that are inaccessible at the moment and I urgently need to reinstall iPhoto.
I have tried going to the App Store and installing iPhoto through Purchases, but "The product distribution file could not be verified" error shows up.
I have tried the method of using Console + deleting my 9n /var/folders and the Keychain Access OCSP and CRL methods to no avail. I even tried the Mac OS X Recovery.
Bottom line is, I don't know where the root of the problem lies and if I'm working on an atrociously wrong tangent. I am going to bring my MacBook to an Apple Store ASAP but am hoping to get some help here even sooner.
Thanks.

Hot dang, I found something that worked for me!
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57530446-263/fix-corrupt-mac-app-store-down loads/
Basically you execute a command in the Terminal Utility, delete your Appstore cache and relaunch App Store which now allows me to download iPhoto '11!
