How can I update iPhoto 09 for iCloud

I am trying to instal iCloud and cannot sync my photos without upgrading to version 11 at a cost of $15.99. Why do I have to pay this when I have the latest version of iPhoto 09?

Was iVideo purchased on the app store?  If so, both iPhoto and iVideo can be updated via the App Store.  (You can click on Software Update under the Apple menu at the top left of your display).

  • How do I update iphoto for icloud?

    Hello
    I am trying to get iphoto to work on my icloud account.
    I currently have iphoto version 8.1.2 (424).
    I have Mac OS 10.7.4. I updated my Mac Book Pro to Lion a few months ago.
    Please would someone explain in clear, simple steps exactly what I do to keep the photos I currently have on my mac, but to get icloud functioning so I can see them on my iphone too. If this is successful then I will purchase an ipad to repeat the process.
    Thanks,
    Sister Sage

    Sister Sage,
    to use iCloud with iPhoto you need to upgrade to iPhoto 9.3.x.
    the upgrade from iPhoto 8.x to 9.x is not free; you will have to buy iPhoto again from the AppStore. Currently the AppStore only offers offers iPhoto 9.4, and that requires MacOS X 10.7.5 or 10.8.2 or later. So you probably need to update your MacOS first, to be able to buy the latest iPhoto version.
    But you do not need iCloud to see your pictures on your Phone. Have you tried to enable syncing of Photos, when you sync your iPhone with your Mac using iTunes?
    Regards

    I'm not sure where you are seeing the "negative reviews" but I like it and many, many people posting here do even though this is a forum for people with problems
    No one knows when the next upgrade will be bu tit will require a purchase
    I'm sure that there will be a few more updated for iPhoto '11 but probably not many - it has had a lot and is approaching the end of its life cycle I would think
    And be sure to have a good backup prior to upgrading (as always) - I suggest in addition to your normal backup routine that you make one more copy of the iPhoto library on your main hard drive if you have space - remember that you need a minimum of 10 GB of free space jus tto run your Mac
    And prior to launching iPhoto '11 the first time be sure to run software update and be sure it is up to the latest version

  • How can i update io7 for my ipod touch\

    How can i update ios7 for my ipod touch.

    No.
    As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • How can I reinstall iphoto for OSX 10.5.8 I had to delete the application

    How can I reinstall iphoto for OSX 10.5.8 I had to delete the application, and I can't find how to reinstall

    If your computer came with iLife pre-installed, then you will find iPhoto on one of your original installer discs.
    If you purchased iLife then you can restore it from the iLife DVD you received.

  • How can i sign up for icloud on pc

    So i lost my phone but never made an icloud account, now i want to find it using "find my iphone" but I need an i cloud account. How can I sign up for icloud on pc?

    It is too late to open an iCloud account and use that to find a lost iPhone.  Ou had to have turned on Settings, iCloud, Find My Phone before it was lost and you must have had an iCloud account where it was registered before it was lost.
    At this point there is no way to locate it.

  • How can I use Yosemite for iCloud backup if it doesn't exist?

    There was an update to iCloud.  Now my documents on my MBP don't sync with my iPad correctly.  The computer tells me I need to update to OS X Yosemite.  How can I do that when Yosemite isn't scheduled to come out till the end of October?

    See:  OS X Beta Program FAQ
    And see this for work-arounds: Using iWork with iCloud Drive
    If you upgrade to iCloud Drive now:
    Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8, Macs with OS X Yosemite, PCs with iCloud for Windows 4.0, and iCloud.com. (OS X Yosemite will be available this fall.)
    Your documents will no longer keep up to date on devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
    You’ll be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
    You’ll be able to use the Share via iCloud feature on iOS 8 and iCloud.com. You’ll be able to use it on OS X Yosemite later this year.
    Documents you previously shared via iCloud will be accessible to collaborators.

  • Update iPhoto for iCloud?!

    hey there,
    2 days ago i bought my new imac. and im pretty familiar with the system, but i cant get this together:
    i want to update my iphoto for the icloud stuff. and when i go to the app store trying to update iphoto (it shows the available update) it wants me to actually BUY iphoto before i can update it. well i do think that about 2000 euro for the new imac including ilife, is enough for apple to give me an iphoto update which is actually free.
    even when i download the update manually from the apple support page it redirects me to the appstore...
    i would appreciate a solution to this problem.
    thanks in advance.

    thanks for the quick answer.
    well it wont find any updates. its all up to date.
    is it normal that ilife wont show up in the list of installed software for System Preferences > Software Update?
    i took the way via icloud system preference telling me that an update is neccessary, then i went into the app store. seeing the update clicking on it the app store app tells me to "log in with the account i bought this product with."

  • How can I update iPhoto and iMovie on a different apple id without having to buy the apps again?

    I started up my macbook pro 2 years ago using someone else's apple id. I just recently updated my software to OS X Yosemite and now I can't open iPhoto & iMovie.  It says I have to download the latest version. How can I download it using my own apple id without having to purchase it?

    Go to the Mac App Store main page, choose Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.

  • How can I update iPhoto 4.0.3 w/o buying iLife?

    Is there a way to get a new version of iPhoto without purchasing iLife?
    I have version 4.0.3 and recently saw version 5.0.

    Hello Thomas Huston,
    As far as I know, you have to buy iLife 5 in order to "up-grade" to iPhoto 5.
    But with tongue firmly planted in cheek, why would you want to?
    Even w/fixes & updates, iPhoto 5 still has problems. Unless there is some great feature you saw in 5 that you can't live without, stick with what is working for you and enjoy the, "It Just Works" feeling. And if you do upgrade, be very sure to Backup your photo library. Don't take a chance on losing your photos.
    If you don't want to pay full list, you might try checking out eBay or Amazon. You might find new unopened software at a discount.
    Respectfully,
    Bill Gallagher

  • How can i update iPhoto, if it was  purchased  by other apple id account?

    You need to sign into the AppStore with the Apple ID used to buy the software. If your husband does not remember the password, it can be reset by him at the MyAppleID page.

    You cannot. You must use the iLife disks or your system restore disk.

  • How can i download iphoto for ios? couldn't find it at apple store

    i really need to use it for ipad and iphone

    iPhoto for iOS is simply incompatible with the newest version of the operating system iOS 8. It has been replaced by the new version of "Photos.app".  If you have previously used iPhoto you can migrate your library to Photos. This is all Apple told us so far:
