How do I update iPhoto after installing Mavericks, I cannot access my iPhoto library?

I updated my OS to Mavericks from OS Lion and now my iPhoto is out of date and will not open so I can access my photos. I tried to update it from the apps store and it told me my Apple ID was not the one that had been registered or created when the Mac was bought.
Please help, I need my photos!

Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

Hi,
What version of the OS did you upgrade from ?
Anything before OS X 10.8.2 may have an issue if the Logic/Mother board has been replaced and the Serial Number not "flashed" back to it.
In the Apple Icon menu use the About this Mac item.
In the new panel click twice on the line that tells you the current OS level
It will change to the Build number (and alternative count to the OS versions) and then the Serial Number.
If it is missing you need to get it replaced.
(It is supposed to be done on Repair or Refurbishment).
An Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider as the best choices.
There are apps you can download (They are Mac Model specific) but needs careful typing as it is a once only trip.

How do I restore gid after installing Mavericks?

Hi folks,
quick question for you all.
Before installing Mavericks (I was running Mountain Lion), I was in the following situation:
I was user myname with uid=501, and
(besides other) I was member of a group called myname, which had gid=501.
Now, after installing Mavericks,
I'm still user myname with uid=501,
group myname still exists,
but now has gid=20, and
I am no more member of it.
As a result, a few files / folders which were accessible before installation, are denied to me now (listing them in Terminal correctly displays them as assigned to gid=501, which unfortunately seems to be unknown to the system).
How do I fix this (apart from changing file permissions)? I presume I should just
take group myname and change its gid back from 20 to 501,
add back my membership to it.
But how do I go through first step? And, more importantly, am I at risk of doing something wrong?
(And why on earth would Mavericks do that?)
Thanks in advance
S

OK thanks I'll do that. I had actually upgraded to Lion, but when my data was read back to the new hard disk, obviously the upgrade wasn't. Thanks for your advice.

Unable to open iPhoto after installing Mavericks and latested iPhoto Version.

I have just installed Mavericks onto my Macbook Pro. The next thing I did was purchase, download and install the most recent version of iPhoto. The previous version of iPhoto was '09 Vers. 8.1.2.
I have about 300gb’s of images in my iPhoto library, which are on an external HD. When I try to launch iPhoto, I get a message saying the iPhoto library must be upgraded. So, I click on ‘upgrade’,and either a white screen with a large icon of a folder appears, but nothing else happens. One other time, before I clicked on upgrade, a gray screen with a scrolling gear appeared, but once again… nothing happens. I still can not access any of the images in my iPhoto library.
How do I get the new iPhoto version to play nice with my images?

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Problem upgrading iPhoto after installing Maverick

I just upgraded from OS X v10.6.8 to Mavericks. I cannot upgrade my iPhotos (current version 8.1.2). The general software updater doesn't seem to pick up that the software needs updating the 'update all' option doesnt work. When I try to update directly from within iPhoto it tells me there is a new version which comes as part of iLife 11 but when I click on 'learn more' it takes me to the mac website where i get a message 'Hmm, the page you’re looking for can’t be found'
I am concerned that this is not the only software which needs updating and is not being recognised. Can anyone help with my immediate problem and the broader issue of how to check other software are not having the same issue?
Thanks

You'd have the same version of Word since the MS updates update all MS Office apps.
The only thing that I can suggest is to take your question to the MS Office 2011 Mac forums -> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac.
That's where I'm headed to complain about my font problems!

How to restart Adobe programs after installing Maverick on Apple ?

I just installed Maverick on my Apple Computers and now I cannot start the Adobe programs.
What can I do ? Thanks in advance, Jos FRANCOIS

Hi GautamBahl,
If I had known this I would not have activated Maverick.
I am not a professional user of the Adobe Programs ; I bought the collection in 2009 when I retired and enjoy to discover new things with it..
Please advice me what to do.
Thanks

After installing WLS, oracle cannot access directory

We have installed WLS many times on RHEL 5.6 and cannot determine why, but on occasionthe oracle user loses the ability to access /opt directory. The directory structure is listed as only question marks.
[oracle@racparticipant opt]$ ll
total 36
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? IrsamInstall
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Jan 5 13:14 likewise
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Jan 5 12:46 lost+found
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? oracle
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? oraInventory
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? sun
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jan 5 13:12 Symantec
Once this occurs, the oracle user cannot access this directory or its subdirectories. If I login as root, everything is fine.
We have not found anything online regarding this or anything useful...
Ideas?

Form the "id" output showing "context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t:SystemHigh" I can see you have SELinux enabled.
Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with SELinux. The Oracle recommendation is usually to have it disabled, not supported, at least prior to 11gR2. You may have to modify the security context of the /opt directory using the chcon command to allow access (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux). Firewall and SELinux are enabled by default and more changes are most likely required for Weblogic to work.
What happens if you disable SELinux or set it to permissive and try again? You can disable SELinux by editing /etc/selinux/config and change the SELINUX line to SELINUX=disabled. Then reboot the system and try again. Alternatively you can also use the kernel "enforcing=0" parameter or use "echo 0 >/selinux/enforce" to temporarily disable enforcement, but I guess disabling it in /etc/selinux/config is easier.

I cannot update iphoto after installing Mavericks

I updated to Mavericks and now the app store is saying I have an update for iphoto. I cannot get the update, I am getting this error message " failed to verify preflight file. It is not signed by apple". Is there spmethign that I am missing? I tried to donload the update 9.4.3 and when I attempt to install the update I am getting a message that says iphoto has to be updated through the app store. Any ideas ?

I solved this problem from a post I read on another thread (can't remember how I got there). Here are the steps that fixed it for me:
Close App Store
Go to Keychain Access, Preferences, Certificates tab
Change the OCSP and CRL to "best attempt"
Exit Preferences and then Keychain access
Restart (this may not be necessary, but it the next step I took)
Launch App Store, Purchases, Click on the one that would not install before - good luck
For me, it was iPhoto and iMovie, but I later discovered that no app would download, even new ones from under "Featured". I also updraded a Mac Pro last night with Mavericks and it did not have this problem. In checking later, I discovered that these preferences were already set as described above.

Cannot enter apple id to update iphoto after installing mavericks

I am second owner of Macbook Air. Have owned this for about two years. After I purchased this, I took it to the Apple Store to get all the old data erased, and it has worked fine since, until I upgraded to Mavericks, and now iphoto needs to update. When I go to the App Store and click on the update button for iphoto, a window pops up that displays the previous owner's apple ID subdued, and only allows entry of a password, or the cancel button. I am signed in on the App Store as me, and under settings, administrator, it shows my apple ID. I also have reset my apple ID password and security questions, but that did not change the update page for software update.
How can I get rid of the old apple ID and get the machine to revert to my ID?
Thank you.

No, it will upgrade as expected.
As usual always good to have a back-up non-the-less.

How long should reboot take after installing Mavericks?

All was well with my 2011 iMac until I decided to upgrade to Mavericks yesterday. I figured/hoped most of the early bugs must be squashed by now. The download took forever (but that's due to our slow bandwidth here) and the re-start has been going on 12+ hours. It's obviously hung up. I get gray screen with Apple logo; i have cursor control and no spinning ball. Occasiionally it still makes some sounds like it's processing. I've tried safe re-start, re-setting PRAM, ran disk utility to repair disk and all is supposedly OK. Thank God I have this MBP as my alternate device. Any advice as to next streps?? Chuck it all and restart from Time Machine?

If you haven't tried unplugging your peripherals, I'd do that, and try another boot in safe mode.
I wouldn't do a reinstall from TM, as that may reinstall whatever problem that you are having that is causing the installation to fail.
I'd bite the bullet, back up your documents, reformat (erase) the HD, and do a clean install.

After installing Mavericks I cannot make any Administrator required changes?

I have downloaded Mavericks but ever since then I cannot install any software that requires an Administrator password. I have checked under Preferences and it is still correct but when installing software it simply doesnt ask me to enter the password and then does not progress to actual installation.
This is incredibly frustrating as you can imagine - any help gratefully received

Might be corrupted desktop preferenceds ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.desktop.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Then try changing the desktop wallpaper.

Should I trash iPhoto after installing Photo?

Should I trash iPhoto after installing Photo?

Should I trash iPhoto after installing Photo?
Why would you want to do that? You paid for it, and Photos cannot do everything that iPhoto can, for example add location data to photos or batch changing the titles. Don't trash iPhoto, before you have explored your migrated photos library thoroughly and are sure, that all photos migrated correctly, and before you have tested all features of the new Photos and are sure, that there are no hidden bugs on your system, that would require reverting to iPhoto until the bugs are fixed. And even if you, be sure, to keep a backup of iPhoto and your iPhoto library - best make a bootable clone of your system. Better be safe than sorry.

After installing mavericks Finder keeps crashing

After installing Mavericks I cannot use my Mac as he finder open and reopen continuously. Also in safe mode. I also cleaned the list of apps starting after login, but it keeps crashing. No way of solving this through other threads here.
What can I do.

I'm having similar problem with my MBP mid 2010 2.4 ghz, 6gb ram.
In my case every time I point at Share combo box in a file contextual menu i get finder crashed and i have to force quitting.
Looking at the log I managed to find that 'com.apple.ShareKitHelper' every 15 secs keeps on logging error messages.
Can anyone give an hand on this?
Thx

When I upgraded to Mavericks I lost access to iPhoto.

When I attempt to open iPhoto after installing Mavericks I get the error message: "You can’t use this version of the application “iPhoto” with this version of OS X. You have version 9.3.2." My iMac is running 10.9 and was running iLife '11 before this happened.
So I go to the Apps store to upgrade iPhoto and get the error message: "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID. This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
HOW do I fix this? Or is it possible to uninstall Mavericks?
Please help! This is a school computer and I really need to use iPhoto to do some Christmas projects with my students!

carolyn,
This looks like an owernership issue. Have you talked to the school administrator about it?

After installing mavericks apple id is greyed out in app store when trying to update iPhoto

after installing mavericks apple id is greyed out in app store when trying to update iPhoto. How to update iphoto?

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.
