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?

  • 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 long does it take for iCloud to sync to my devices?

    I just discovered that I could drag Word documents onto the iCloud web site from my computer. Pretty handy trick.  Drag and drop should be how this works.  So to test it I dragged a document from my My Documents Folder onto the iCloud web site in my browser (I wish my company would update to Windows 7 so it would be easier to align windows on screen).  It appeared to upload just fine.  So I went to my iPhone and opened Pages to see how badly the file translated from Word 2007 to Pages for iPhone.  And no document.
    I have waited about 20 minutes so far. Am I being to impatient?  Just how long does it take for iCloud to promulgate my documents to my iDevices?  I am hopefully getting an iPad for Xmas so I need to get this worked out before I actually need this for work.

    It actually goes pretty fast once you are on a WiFi connection.  I found an open WiFi connection at Starbucks and when i got back to my desk the files were all there on the web site.  I fond the Use Cellular connection to sync in settings and decided that I didn't need to sync my docs all the time so I will just wait to connect when I can get to a WiFi.
    Now I just need to figure out how to sync my contacts.  iCloud doesn't seem to play nice with Google contacts when they are on an Exchange connection.

    How do I link IPhoto to ICloud?

    Please see this page:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmbc40255b
    and expand 'On a Mac to work with iPhoto or Aperture'.
    Your Photo Stream photos will not be visible on the iCloud web site, since the purpose is to shunt them to your other devices. There is a facility called 'Photo Journal', which is a basic photo gallery which however is populated only from iPhoto for iOS;

  • How do I update iPhoto from 8.1.2?

    How do I update iPhoto from 8.1.2 when the updater says updates complete but it is not showing as updated?

    How do i update it to the most current iPhoto.????
    Make sure, you have a current backup of your Mac, i.e. your iPhoto Library. On no account risk the upgrade without a current backup. After upgrading to a newer iPhoto version, iPhoto will need to upgrade the iPhoto Library as well. Due to a current bug, the upgrade may go wrong and leave your iPhoto library damaged, if the system should crash during the upgrade, because of running out of storage or similar.
    As Larry pointed out, the current iPhoto version 9.6 requires Yosemite, and the App Store will not offer the last compatible version for Mavericks. To upgrade to 9.6 you need to upgrade to Yosemite as well.
    You should finish any book projects before upgrading, because the upgrade will change the themes of the books. So your books may change a bit after upgrading.

  • How do I upgrade iPhoto for Yosemite?

    How do I upgrade iPhoto for Yosemite 10.10.3?

    You ned to upgrade or update iPhoto 9.6.1 with Yosemite 10.10.3, and that update version is only available from the App Store.
    It  will depend on the iPhoto version you own, if you still can update to a Yosemite compatible version.  If you have any version of iPhoto '11, and it is listed at the Appstore among your purchases, you can move the incompatible version to the Trash and reload the appStore Purchases page with ⌘R.  Then try, to reinstall from that page.
    If you own an older iPhoto version, you cannot update it, you need to buy iPhoto '11, bu apple is no longer selling it. And the retail versions on iLife installer CDs are not compatible with Yosemite.

  • I have iphoto 7.1.5.  How can I update iphoto without buying ilife, which i don't need?

    i have iphoto 7.1.5.  How can I update iphoto without buying ilife, which i don't need?

    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 do I update Java for Adobe Flash CS3?

    Hi,
    When I ran Secunia Software Inspector today it told me that
    the version of Java I have installed on my computer is out of date.
    It tells me that it is finding 3 out-of-date files:
    Once here:
    C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\java.exe
    Twice here:
    C:\Windows\System32\java.exe
    and three times here:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\java.exe
    I updated Java via the Sun website and consequently the first
    and second warnings disappeared when I reran the Software
    Inspector.
    The software inspector however is still finding an
    out-of-date Java version here:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\java.exe
    Question is: How do I update Java for Adobe Flash CS3?
    Is it adequate to copy the updated file "java.exe" from
    "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\" to "C:\Program
    Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\JVM\bin\" or do I need to do anything
    else?
    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Hi
    I have the same problem of you, and the same dont find a
    solution. Me it's Kaspersky Anti Virus (AV) which find this
    problem.
    So (and I dont know if this solution is perfect), but I open
    Flash CS3 with the Java update choiced and apparently Flash
    fonctionnely well and Kaspersky dont find this
    prob now. But I dont never use Java in Flash (or without that
    I know that..), and same, I dont know at what Java is used in Flash
    I think that "JRE v 1.6.0_04" and more recent Java version is
    not good, because it's not quite the same Java application that in
    Flash CS3, In Flash CS3 it's "J2RE" and
    not "JRE".
    The history of all Java versions (and this) is here (
    http://java.sun.com/products/archive/)
    (but in all this versions... seriousely it's a true shambles !)
    If you want the last version for J2RE in this archives it's v
    1.4.2.18 but the last version is J2RE 1.4.2.19 but dont again in
    this archives
    (search on Java site, maybe first page ? I dont remember
    where I to find it...). But the problem... it's that this last
    version (19) is always detected bad by my AV...
    So I decide to use just the next version (v 1.5) and last
    version in this series (in archives site) which is the "JDK/JRE -
    5.0 v 5.0.16" but again named "Java 2 Platform
    Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 16" in this dowload next
    archives page
    http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/5.0_16/index.html),
    so well again named "Java 2" in this page (that which dont
    the case for the equivalent same download page for Java 6...)
    (Choice "JRE 5.0 Update 16" in this page)
    For instal "JRE 5.0 Update 16":
    1) Supp all files and folders in "JVM" (Java Virtual Machine)
    folder in Flash CS3 (but dont supp this folder, empty now) and save
    this contents in archive in you have
    affraid.
    2) dl "JRE 5.0 Update 16", directly in this page if you want:
    (https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/View ProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=jre-1.5.0_16-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Dev
    eloper)
    3) In install, choice "personal instal" (or +/- the same
    terms) and choice the "JVM" folder of you Flash CS3
    and AV dont detect this version same a bad file
