How can I link iPhoto to my Apple ID on my all-new MB Air to update it through the MAS?

Hello everyone.
My new mid 2012 MacBook Air won't download the iPhoto update (9.3.1) through the Mac App Store, telling me I should use the Apple ID I entered when I bought the Mac (which I tried without success). What should I do to get iPhoto linked to my Apple ID?
Thank you.

Did iPhoto come preinstalled on your MBA? Then you need to accept it to your Apple ID. If you have not done so already, sign in with your AplleID and go to the "Purchases" Tab in the App Store. Accept the app by pressing the "Accept" button, Then you should see it offered for update in the Update Panel.

How can I reset my security question and I cannot create a new account because I have £18 on the account that I can't remember the security questions to

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

IPhoto 9.5.1 has suddenly got all blank photos. If I scroll through the photos they appear briefly. I have not updated to Yosemite. I have been through the database rebuild and repair routines.

iPhoto 9.5.1 has suddenly got all blank photos. If I scroll through the photos they appear briefly and disappear. I have not updated to Yosemite - I am still running Mavericks on an iMac. I have been through the database rebuild and repair routines. I uploaded photos and movies three days ago and all was well. Then I used the migration assistant to copy from Time Machine to a new Macbook Air and noticed blank photos. I thought it was a problem with the Macbook Air, but then I went back to the iMac to check and they were all blank as well.

what does appear after the photo "flashes"?
Have you repaired permissions? If not backup your iPhoto library and option-command launch and repair permissions - then repair the database and if needed rebuild the database
If that does not do it down iPhoto Library Manager on the iMac and use the free trial's rebuild command to create a totally new library leaving the existing one alone
Once you have the iMac working correctly then connect the two systems together (or use an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) ) and drag the iPhoto library form the iMac to the pictures folder of the MBA (rather than migration assistant)

You can't do that yourself; if desired, you can click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they will, but they probably won't.

How can I link google results to Apple maps?

Before iOS 6 and Apple maps, I could tap on google address search results which would open google maps and use the results there.
Now, I only can use them in the web app or still google maps. While there is a multitude of ways to re-link them to google maps, I was wondering if there is a way of linking those results to Apple Maps instead?

How can I reformat my iPhone from my old PC to my new MacBook Air, without losing everything?

I just got my first Mac, and now I need to reformat my iPhone. I don't want to lose all of my content. My PC iTunes account uses the sample Apple ID as my MAC, so is it just as simple as plugging it into my Mac?

Use migration assistant for Windows to transfer all of your data from your PC to your new Mac:

You are logging in iCloud for the first time. In this case, first you need to log in iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac. See > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup
If you have not got a device to set iCloud up, you cannot use it. You can only use iCloud on your PC if you have got an Apple device

You cannot. iTunes purchases remain on the iTunes account they were purchased with.

So just upload them from iTunes.
You have mulitple AppleIDs?
Why?

How can i speak with someone from apple live chat??

How can i speak with someone from apple live chat??I want to ask something

Yes, that is the key to it. In North America live chat is available, though I would question the value of it. It usually takes ten times longer to 'chat' than to talk or even send an eMail. Why don't you ask your question here; by far the most realistic means of attracting a reasonably accurate answer.

How can I get iTunes on my I-TV to recognize my new email and password?

How can I get iTuens on my Apple TV to recognize my new email and password? I changed it months ago and it works on my other devices but not apple tv. Thanks.

Sign out of the old Apple ID and sign in with the new one.
Hopefully the Apple ID was merely updated instead of a new one being created.

How can I uninstall yosemite and reinstall Loin with out losing all my in formation and programs

How can I uninstall Yosemite and reinstall Loin with out losing all my in formation and programsThis had been the worst os system apple has come out, too many errors
too many to list.
a few
Losing all mail. and watching them disappear in front of my eyes and could nothing about it
also when accessing cloud the screen just rolls in when accessing mail, like loading and loading and loading for 1 to 2 minuets.
I did not up grade my Mac Book Pro, and is working fine,
Just my iMac, its act kile avid card and it only happens access iCloud mail.
so I want to and need to go back to Loin

You can't unless you have a current backup of your old Lion system because the first thing you must do is erase the drive. It 's possible to use Target Disk Mode between your iMac and the MBP in order to clone the MBP to the iMac. However, that will still erase everything on the iMac's drive.
Or you could see about getting Yosemite to work correctly. If you have IMAP mail, then your mail should be intact.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you mean iPhoto on your phone use AirPlay if your phone supports mirroring, if you mean iPhoto on your computer, you can't do it from your phone.
