How do I upgrade from iphoto 2.0.1?

Have a laptop Mac OS X version 10.4.10. Have just started using my iphoto software and can't seem to upgrade it. Thanks for any help. Rosemarie

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You need to purchase an iLife disk to upgrade.
Updates - from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 etc., are free but Upgrades - from v2 to v4 - require a purchase. However, you can go straight from your v2 to the latest v7, you don't have to purchase all the versions in between.

  • How can i upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 8.1.2 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8 ?

    How can I upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 8.1.2 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8 ?

    With the above listed config that I have (iphoto 7.1.5 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8), how can I move my iPhoto library from this old iMac (2006) to my NEW iMac (2011) that is running iPhoto 9.5.1 ?
    To open an iPhoto 7.1.x version in iPhoto '11 you need to run the iPhoto Library Upgrader. See this Support document:
    iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrade
    Download and install the upgrader,  then run it on your iPhoto 7.1.5 library. After that, iPhoto will be able to open your library and upgrade it to version 9.5.1. And you will be able to merge the libraries with if Library Manager.

  • How do I upgrade from iPhoto 9 to...

    After installing Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5, numerous problems with iPhoto -- repeated freezes; pinwheel delays; etc etc etc
    I'm assuming I need an iPhoto upgrade to sync with the OS X software.
    I'm trying!
    1.  About iPhoto identifies my installed version as iPhoto '09 8.1.2
    2.  Trying to install iPhoto Update 9.1, I get this error message: "iPhoto Update can't be installed on this disk [my desktop Macintosh HD with 115 GB available]. iPhoto 9.0 or later is required to install this update."
    What do I do next?
    Nate

    1 - iPhoto '09 runs fine under OS X 10.8.5
    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
    2 - to move to iPhoto '11 you must purchase the iPhoto upgrade from the App store - however do not do this until you resolve teh current issue - and there is no need to do it at all if you are happy with iPhoto '09

  • How can I upgrade from iPhoto 6 using SnoLeopard?

    I'm trying to create a slideshow for my aunts memorial service and I am realizing that my iPhoto 6 (v. 6.0.6) is severely out of date.
    I'm using OS X 10.6.8
    I tried going to upgrade to iPhoto 11 but when I do, it's saying that I need OS X 10.7.4 in order to do so.  Does anyone know where I can get an updated version of iPhoto?
    The main reason for wanting to upgrade is to export the slideshow to a CD.  Exen at the highest quality export 640 x 480, the .mov file is pretty low quality.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold.
    Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter  $29
    PhotoToMovie  $49.95
    PulpMotion  $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Pro X $299
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • How I successfully upgraded from iPhoto '09 to iPhoto '11 - Glitch Free.

    I've been eagerly reading the forums PRIOR to installing iPhoto '11 and I'm about to dive in. I have an iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 6GB RAM running Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.4.
    I'm currently running iPhoto '09 (version 8.1.2) with 1403 events, 41,133 photos, 24 Faces and 29 Places. I have dozens of Albums and Smart Albums, Mobile Me Galleries, as well as 5 Keepsakes-3 cards and 2 books. The library itself is 185 GB in size and resides in an Admin User account in /Users/User/Pictures
    Here is what I've done PRIOR to installing iPhoto '11
    _*Fixed Permissions:*_
    1. Holding down OPTION+COMMAND keys and then launching iPhoto '09 and selecting "Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions." I also rebuilt the small thumbnails but nothing else.
    2. Opening disk utility and repairing disk permissions on Macintosh HD
    3. Downloaded BatChmod and changed all the permissions as suggested in the links below. Initially the checkmark for apply to enclosed folders and files was not available. I selected another file then returned and it was available.
    Also my permissions for the iPhoto library (and a quick survey of the package contents -right click with mouse to do this) were set to Read Write for my User account, for Group (_unknown in my case) and for Everyone without running BatChmod. Select your iPhoto library and press COMMAND+I to check this. I chose to run BatChmod anyways to ensure every file was indeed wide open as far as permissions go.

    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12507401#12507401
    http://iphoto11.wordpress.com/
    _*Repaired Fonts*_
    1. Opened Font Book and selected all the fonts then from the menus:
    -Edit > Resolve Duplicates
    -File > Validate Fonts
    I then deleted the most severely affected fonts marked with red. I still had several marked yellow "minor problems were found. Proceed with caution."
    Backups
    1. Time Machine Backup on External Drive, plus another Time Machine Backup on another drive but it's about a week out of date.
    2. Copy of iPhoto '09 application on a different External Drive then the Time Machine Backup (Usually found at the folder /Applications)
    3. Copy of iPhoto '09 library folder on a different External Drive then the Time Machine Backup (Usually found in the folder /Users/User/Pictures )
    This way I've got two ways of going backwards to iPhoto 09 if necessary - using the Time Machine backups (which appears to be painful for some) and failing that option simply dragging back actual untouched copies of iPhoto '09.app and iPhoto '09 library with photos, preferences, keepsakes, events etc all intact. (iPhoto '11 makes changes to the iPhoto '09 library files and removes the '09 app as well).
    I then turned off Time Machine to prevent it from backing up further.
    Install
    Then in went the iLife '11 disc. No problems with the installation. After the install I *immediately opened Software Update from the Apple menu, and did not open iPhoto.*
    iPhoto Update 9.1 came up and I installed it. A restart was not required but I did one anyways. Interestingly enough when I did a COMMAND+I to get info on the new iPhoto '11 library it showed different permissions of User -read/write, and Everyone -read/write. No groups listed.
    I then opened iPhoto '11 and got the following message with the options to Quit or Upgrade. I clicked Upgrade.
    " *The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto* Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete."
    My fairly _*large 185 GB library took 28 minutes to upgrade*_ and showed a progress bar as well as the monochromatic spinning wheel.
    Success! All of my photos, events, places and albums, smart albums, MobileMe books and cards and slideshows are present and I can even edit a book I started. My iPhoto library is the same size give or take a MB.
    Was all this necessary? We'll never know. I certainly wouldn't expect a first time Mac user to do the BatChmod steps or the Font Book steps, or even the Permissions steps, however I would expect everyone to do the backup steps of at least Time Machine.
    We are talking valuable photos which are not replaceable, some people run into burning buildings to save their photos, so a quick backup seems reasonable. Turns out I didn't need my backups but I had no hesitation doing the upgrade with them in place.
    In Summary:
    1. Repair Permissions on your hard drive and iPhoto Library (see above for specifics)
    2. Remove duplicate Fonts and Validate and Remove trouble fonts in Font Book
    3. Backup, Backup, Backup. If possible with Time Machine and also separate exact copies of iPhoto library folder and iPhoto app itself.
    4. Install iLife '11 and restart.
    5. _*DO NOT OPEN iPhoto '11 YET*_, but DO OPEN Software Upgrade and install iPhoto version 9.1 (iPhoto '11 is version 9 of the software, iPhoto '09 is version 8)
    6. Open iPhoto '11 and wait patiently for the upgrading of your previous library.
    This process worked seamless for me, and was headache free. I'm now also going to keep an offsite backup of my computer either in the cloud or at a friend, family or work location.
    Hope this helps!

    Thanks so much - Iphoto has been driving me nuts for a while now. Permanent spinning wheel in Places and requiring force quit almost everytime. Following the advice to repair Iphoto permissions removed the spinning wheel from Places and Iphoto is completely back to normal

  • How do I upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 9.5.1 (OSX Mavericks)?

    If I click "buy app" for 9.5.1 in the app store, it says "iphoto 7..1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the mac app store.  Do you want to buy iphoto 9.5.1?"  My question is, if I do, will it upgrade my existing iphoto 7.1.5 (from iLife '08)?

  • Upgrading from iphoto 4 to i photo 7 on Leopard

    How can I upgrade from iphoto 4 to iphoto7 (08) - and keep all my albums/ keep the dates the photos were shot - all that good stuff?
    I am trying to upgrade from i photo 4.0.3 to i photo 7.1.4 - it keeps erasing all my albums and massively duplicating the size of my photo library ( I think it is duplicating photos) .. went from 47 GB to over 100 GB after it was through "upgrading" .. this happens when choosing the upgrade option after it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library"
    choose upgrade and then I wait over and hour as it goes through all my pictures - some out of order -- and I see some twice . . .
    What is the correct procedure here? I just got an i mac, early 08, running leopard . When installing leopard- i chose the option to firewire to my old ti book (G4) to copy everything over . . . My I photo library was on an external drive -- so I've dragged that folder into the pictures folder of the new mac . it knows where the folder is ... finds it -- then just goes haywire .
    Help!?

    Nope ,
    didnt work --
    the error seems to be happening at this stage (just a guess ) -- It says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library."
    then I choose to "import the photos" . . .
    now , the first time I chose this - I thought I should pick the option not to import the pictures ... this was actually kind of great - cause I wanted a way to get all of my original photos out of their i tunes folders -- which is what this option did ... (good thing I had a backup!) Ironically - this time - Iphoto contained all of my albums and such --- but they were all empty -- and there were no photos! . .
    ok -- so I tried to go back and import the photos -- would it know to put them in the right albums? nope .
    Ok --
    so I deleted all of that - and dragged my backup i photo from external drive #2 back into external drive #1 . . went through the process agan - and this time i photo has all of my albums- but they are all empty -- and all the 34,000 pictures occur under an event that occur today . ...
    wrong - delete - start over again . .
    so what do I do now?
    I still have an i photo lib -- the same as the original -- I've kept that backed up . ..
    should I reinstall i photo 7 (08) to wipe it clean and try it one more time ?
    Sould I just use i photo 4? - can I on leopard?
    Is there a tutorial/instructions on upgrading from 4 to '08? that would be ideal. - I see I'm not the only one struggling with this issue -- as the thread you responded to here illustrates .

  • How do i upgrade from 6.0.6 to the latest version of iPhoto . I have a mac pro with OS 10.7.5 ?

    How do i upgrade from 6.0.6 to the latest version of iPhoto . I have a mac pro with OS 10.7.5 ?

    The latest version of iPhoto  - 9.5.1 -  requires MacOS X 10.9.x.  Is it possible to upgrade your Mac to Mavericks? Then you can buy the latest iPhoto from the AppStore.
    If your Mac does not support Mavericks, you could upgrade to iPhoto 9.4.3, see:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650  , but this version is no longer availbale from the AppStore. Buy a boxed retail version of iPhoto '11 from Amazon or eBay, and then update it from the support page  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650  .

    You can upgrade to iPhoto '11 with OS X 10.8.5 by purchasing an iPhoto '11 DVD from Amazon, eBay or other source - or you can upgrade your OS to Mavericks for free if your system meets the requirements and then purchase the upgrade to iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store - in either case backup first in case of problems

  • Aperure Upgrading from Iphoto

    I am considering upgrading from Iphoto. I am currently using a trial version. In Iphoto under edit there are some effects such as matte and fade....how do I access these in aperture?

    iPhoto and Aperture are different programs designed by different teams of engineers for different tasks and different users.  There are far more differences than similarities.  It is probably best to consider the shift from iPhoto to Aperture as a move, rather than an upgrade.  (Apple does a disservice to its iPhoto users in positioning Aperture as an a logical extension of iPhoto.)  It's a great program -- but there is lots to learn.
    Fortunately, there are also many tools to help you learn.  Have your watched all the video's Apple provides?  They can be quite helpful, particularly to show you some of what you can do with Aperture.  You should familiarize yourself with the content of the first seven chapters of the User Manual -- available on-line as well as from the application Help menu.  These introduce the interface, and explain some of the basic concepts.
    I don't use iPhoto, so I can't give any direction for achieving a matte or fade look, though "Fade" sounds like a reduction in saturation and perhaps an increase in luminance.  Using the sliders in the Exposure, Enhance, and Levels Bricks to try to achieve these would be a good way to start learning what they do.  Although there are Adjustment Presets which attempt to provide some "looks", the strength of Aperture comes from having all of the tools at your disposal.
