How do I update from iPhoto 7.1.5 to the newest version?

I don't have much memory on my computer.  I have TONS of photos.  Many are large format and Photoshop files.  I'm trying to get all my photos saved onto iCloud and off my computer, however I need to update my outdated iphoto '08 to the latest version first. Help!

I don't use iCloud so someone here may be able to help you regarding Cloud backups and space limitations. What is the total  GB that your photo collections take?
However, it is very critical if you have precious data on your computer to have AT LEAST one external backup system. It could be a Time Machine or a regular and updated clone of your drive, and ideally both. I use a Time Machine and TWO clones.
Also it might be a good idea to post the specs of your computer. If it dates back to 2008 then today's new hard drives are at least 4 times larger than those shipped then. I know because I started with a 250GB drive, upgraded to a 750GB drive and have just ordered a 1 TB drive this week! But the most important thing is to have a backup of all your data, and ideally a backup of your backup!

  • HT4972 Updating from iOS4 to iOS5 or later without newest version of iTunes

    I can't download the newest version of iTunes (my computer is work-issued, I don't have an administrator password), but I would like to update my iPhone from iOS4 to iOS5. Is there a way I can do this without updating iTunes?

    You can not upgrade to iOS 5 at all. Only to iOS 6. Over the air updates can only be done when iOS 5 or higher is installed.
    Even if you find a way to update to iOS 6 using another computer, you will not be able to sync with your work computer any more.
    Side note. Syncing your personal information to a company owned machine may not be wise. If the phone is not company issued/owned, you really should be syncing it with your personal computer.

  • I've tried upgrading from FCP 10.0.1 to the newest version and I cannot do it. It does not pop up on the App Store. Is this an upgrade or do I have to buy it again?

    I've been trying to export my videos after installing the Mavericks upgrade and FCP does not let me. On one of the forums I was told to upgrade to FCP 10.6.
    Is this a free upgrade or do I have to buy the newest version again?

    The current version is 10.0.9. The update to 10.0.9 from 10.0.1 is free. Log in to the App Store *with the same Apple ID used to buy the application* and click on "Updates".

  • How to delete photos from iPhoto and hard drive at the same time.

    I need to remove some files from my iMac G5 in order to free up some space. I have some photos on my machine that I would like to delete. Is there a setting I can change so that I completely remove a photo from my machine when I delete the iPhoto thumbnail? If not, what is the best way to remove photos from my machine, and not leave thumbnails in iPhoto to photos that no longer exist on my machine etc. I'm using iLife 08 and the most recent version of Leopard on a third generation iMac G5.

    To remove file from iPhoto and the HD simply put the files in the iPhoto trash and then go iPhoto Menu -> Empty trash.
    This works if you're using iPhoto in the default setting, where the files are copied to the Library on import. If, however, you have a referenced library, you'll need to trash the files in your own folder structure yourself.

  • I am trying to update my iphoto 8.1.2 to the current version

    I am trying to update my iphoto from 8.1.2 to the current version. The iphoto was installed on my computer when I purchased it so I am unable to upgrade from the app store.  I have tried installing some upgrades but it tells me that I need Version 9.0.1 which I can not find the update for that version. I have just installed maverick and everything is working great.  My Mac is OSx version 10.9.3
    Thanks for your help.

    I am trying to update my iphoto from 8.1.2 to the current version.
    The only way to do that is to purchase the current version at the Mac App Store.

  • How can I update my ATI HD 6750M driver to the latest version in Bootcamp?

    When downloading from ATI, it tells me that I do not have that card installed (I do). The latest (working) update from Apple was in January 2011, but many modern games require the driver to be of a newer make than that one. I have tried to completely uninstall the current driver, even manually removing references in the registry, before installing again, but no luck.

    Do a search in this group. I remember someone else with an ATI card having a problem getting the right ATI Boot Camp video driver. Eventually they did.

  • How Do I update from 10.4.11? To the next

    Is it possible to update?

    After I buy and install Leopard in my Power G4 IMac, can I install Snow Leopard from the disk I purchased through the Apple Store for my Mac Book Air? What about the OSX  Lion, or Mt Lion versions I bought and downloaded from the Apple Store for my IMAC Snow Leopard last year. I know there is a limit on what systems I can install but can't find which it is as of yet. Thanks since this is exactly the issue I too am dealing with today. the Snow Leopard disk I installed on my MacBookAir is the one that is, or was $20, that was mentioned above.

    Thank you for pointing this out. Might I rephrase that to, go to updates. press and hold on a update. Tap on "hide all updates" and this would clear the existing updates of that person, and blocks all further updates from that user.
    Shoutout and credit to hranawat9 for this.

  • HT1338 how do I update from OSX 10.5.8 to current OSX

    How do I update from OSX 10.5.8 to the current OSX on my MacBook.  I'm having all kinds of issues becuase I can't update to the newest iTunes and my iPhone4s apps stopped downloading and all the message boards are telllinging me I need to use iExplorer which I don't have because I have an older OS.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:
