How do I download my iPhoto update from App Store?

I have iPhoto on my iMac (it is the one that came preinstalled - it has likely had updates made to it since I had the iMac as I have had it a few years now, but I never use iPhoto so don't know which version currently.)
I am running 10.8.2.
I have just got an iPhone and wish to download some photos, so I read on the apple site that iPhoto will automatically do so when I connect with USB.
I have gone to my iPhoto application and it won't open.  Instead a message comes up saying "You can't open the application iPhoto because it is being updated."  When I open up the App Store to see where to update it, iPhoto is listed in the lists of update apps with RESUME next to it. (Perhaps I may have tried to upload the update before...)   But I go RESUME a box pops up saying "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software."
Could someone please help.  What do I need to do to get the application to update?  (I need my photos off my iPhone to send to someone quite urgently!)
Many thanks.
Fran

Hello, I finally went to the App Store support who rang me back and went through it.  It seems that Mountain Lion will not operate iPhoto 9.3.2, you have to have 9.4.2.  So trashed the application in my Applications folder (which has cleared my App Store of the hanging iPhoto updater) and they signposted me to the download for 9.4.2 (mind you it is taking hours to download!!)  I live in hope that this will fix it.  If it doesn't I'll let you know!

  • IPhoto updates from App store.

    Would anyone know why iPhoto updates from the App store seem to take ages to load.   
    They always seem quite large in content and for all I know could be replacing the entire
    iPhoto program.

    It seems pretty much in line to me.
    You have a 14000 kps download speed. That's about 1.4 MB per second - but... That's assuming you have only one download going, depends on the contention rate of the ISP, how fast your Mac can write to the HD and how fast the output from the server is.
    So, there can be considerable variation from download to download depending on these factors.
    But even if you divide the size of the download by the nominal speed (and divide that buy 60 to get minutes) you'll see that it's not far off. So, 740/1.4/60 you get 8.8 minutes or thereabouts.
    When your App checks for updates it basically says something like "Hello, I'm iPhoto v9.1.5, do you have an update for me". That's really all that Apple know. The update mechanism on your Mac performs a similar equation to get an estimate of the time.

  • How do I remove red dot update from App Store icon

    I just updated nine iPhone apps via iTunes during a recent sync of my iPhone (5s OSv8.1.2). Update and sync both went fine without a hitch. However, the App Store icon on my iPhone still has a red notification dot with a number 9. I've gone into the app, selected Updates, and noticed that all nine apps are listed there with an "Open" box next to them. I've opened each app and each works fine. I've powered off the phone; same problem.
    How do I remove the red dot notification next to the App Store app?
    Thanks.

  • Unable to download(purchase) Lion Update from App Store

    When I try to download Lion, the download sign in window appears and is populated with someone else's Apple ID. If I change the ID to mine and use my password I get 2 messages:
    "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
    Click OK and 2nd message:
    "Unknown Error"
    iTunes does not exhibit this, and normal sign in to App Store shows correct ID, only the Download Authentication does this. I have been able to update other Apps just fine, this requires a purchase, and is the only difference.

    Perhaps it was a display model at one time in the store and someone registered the OS in their name. I would return to the store with the Mac and show them the stranger's name that appears in the Mac App Store when you try to update Lion. Perhaps it is even an employee. Anyway, they need to set this right by you. A new Mac should not have someone else's Apple ID registered into it. That registration sent the unique identifier to Apple for this Mac and registered it to the person's Apple ID. Not cool.

  • I'm trying to download FIFA 13 update from App Store. I have over 3G of local storage, the update is around 1Gb but it says I don't have enough local storage to download. What's the problem??

    I'm trying to download an update for FIFA 13 for my iPhone. My storage says I have around 3.2Gb of local storage space available. The update is 1Gb but when I try to download it, it says I don't have enough space. Why is this happening?

    Becasue you do not have enough space available.
    It can take much more space that the size of the app to install.
    Update on your compter, then sync, if you do not want to create more space

  • How do I get rid of updates from App Store?

    I have 3 apps that 'apparently' need updating but have no "update" button next to them. Two apps I don't have and one app I do have. One is a magazine that I do not have. I don't don't need an update for my device because I'm all caught up And I've already tired logging out of apple but it didn't work. Please I really need help and it's just really annoying. Please.

    Hi,
    If they don't have the word 'Update' next to them do the have the option to 'Open'? If so these Apps have already been updated and directly above the first app in the list it will show in bold text, (as an example) Updated 23 June 2014

  • When downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user.  How to change user?

    when downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user.  How to change user?

    Unfortunately there's no way around this.  you will need that password to update the apps. If he won't give it to you, then i'm not sure what to say.
    You should have kept the account with the Apps you bought yourself.
    Otherwise, as I said, delete the Apps, and buy them again.
    Sorry.

  • How do I remove a secondary apple id from my Mac? I am being prompted for a apple id password for a former user; I do not have the information.  Prevents updates from App Store.

    How do I remove a secondary Apple ID that is not in use from my MacBook pro? The ID does not belong to me and when I attempt to download updates from App Store with my Apple ID, I am prompted for the password of the secondary Apple ID.

    Is this a second hand Mac? If so, you need to erase the Mac and install the version of OS X that shipped installed on the Mac from the factory. Then you set the Mac up as new with your Apple ID.
    User Linc Davis explains how a new owner can prepare a 2nd hand Mac for their own use.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
