How update iPhoto

How do I most easily update to iPhoto 4.0 or 5.0; while keeping OS X10.2.8. Have ample Memory. What do I need ...what are steps?? All suggestions much appreciated.

The first step is to buy iLife 4 or 5 — if you're coming from iPhoto 2, the upgrade isn't free. Before installing anything, back your entire iPhoto Library folder up to an external hard drive or any other medium that can hold the whole thing, undivided and unaltered. Direct your present version of iPhoto to use that library folder instead of the one you normally use, just to verify that the backup is functional. If that works fine, point iPhoto back to the normal library folder, and don't touch the backup again. It will be there and ready to use if you need to fall back on the old version of iP for any reason, or if you need to make another copy for the new version to work with.
Now install iLife, carefully following the instructions that come with it. If all seems to go OK, open the new version of iPhoto. It will tell you your Library needs to be updated. OK that and wait for the process to be completed. You should be in business.
Before deciding to buy iLife 4 or 5, make sure the System Requirements for it don't include a higher OS version than 10.2.8. I don't recall what they are for 4, and my disks are elsewhere. I don't have 5, so I can't check that.

How do i update iPhoto with another apple id?

Hi, I am trying to update iphoto and imovie as I can't use them with the new operating system I just installed. Problem is, is that my ex-husband's Apple ID is associated with the account as he originally bought the computer for me and loaded the apps. I've created my own Apple ID and have had to buy other apps but this one has no choice to buy it over again as it only shows his Apple ID. Is there any way to get these apps over to my Apple ID? If not how do I repurchase them when only his apple Id shows up?
Thanks.

If not how do I repurchase them when only his apple Id shows up?
You should be able to buy the apps, if you trash the versions that are bound to your ex-husband's AppleID.
Delete the apps from the Applications folder, but don't empty the Trash, so you can recover them, if need be. The sign ito the AppStore with your new AppleID. The apps should now be showing with a price tag instead of "Purchased". Do they?

How to delete multiple photos from updated iPhoto

How to delete multiple photos from the updated iPhoto

1 - there is no updated iPhoto - iPhoto is still on your computer and version 9.6.1 is probably the last version - there are no updates planned to iPhoto
2 - Photos is a new photo management program built into OS X 10.10.3
3 - Assuming you are talking about Photos select the photos and press delete - they then go to the recently deleted photos album (show recently deleted under th file menu) where they sit for 30 days and then are automatically deleted unless you manually delete them first

The updated iPhoto program is cumbersome. I am trying to create a Christmas card and can't figure out how to get the fold of the card on the left and not on the top of the card. I had no trouble with this for the past two years. Can someone help?

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... this comes up when I go to update Iphoto after installing Yosemite... how do I fix this?

I have resolved this issue with the apple chat support by going to the "purchases" tab in the app store - where there was a message that I had to accept updates for the apps that wouldn't update. Once I did this, signing in for each of them, they all updated just fine.

I was recently prompted to update iPhoto and make changes to the library. I did it but it keeps hanging up in step 5 or 6 and won't complete the cycle. I have used force quit, rebooted and started again several times. How do i get this to work?

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails:
Restore from your back up, repair the Library and try again.

After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this?

After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this? I can see the library icon on my external drive, but it doesn't show as a library in iPhoto. When I double click on the icon, nothing happens. When I choose it from alternate menu, doesn't open. Where do I get help?

Do you have a back up? What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
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.

HT5327 how do i update iphoto

i am unable to see how to update iphoto to 9.2.3 When I check for software updates there are none and i don't see the update prompt when i go to the mac apps store

What version of iPhoto do you have now? If it's an earlier version of iPhoto 9 then use the appropriate updater, iPhoto 9.2.3, from the Apple Downloads webpage.
If your current iPhoto versoin is iPhoto 8 (09) or earlier you'll have to purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
The App Store only offers the latest version of iPhoto, 9.5, which requires Mavericks.

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.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you were updating iPhoto from the App Store, open Launchpad and click your iPhoto icon, so download should continue. If it doesn't work, restart your computer, delete iPhoto and install it again

Update IPhoto 5 on older Mac, how?

Hi there, I'm trying to find out how to update Iphoto 5 to a newer version. I have a iMac Intel Core Duo 2,4Gh running 10.6.8. Anyone?
In the app store, only new versions are available and my OS does not support these.
Best,
Merle

Buy an iLife DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay. The iLife 11 DVDs will install and run on 10.6.8.

I updated iPhoto but the app store still shows that red 1, how can I remove it?

I updated iPhoto but the app store still shows that red 1, how can I remove it? I can't right click, i cant do anything to get rid of it.

Nope that's not it, I always use that particular ID, but the @me.com portion of the Apple ID is missing when trying to download from the App Store on the Phone.
It is grayed out inside the App Store app so I can't change it there and I already changed it in the settings.
The entire Apple ID is fine in the Settings so I don't get why the App Store ID is different and missing information.

When emailing a photo from the updated iPhoto, how do I find the CC and BCC button, and how do I send to a group from my address book?

when emailing a photo from the updated iPhoto, how do I find the CC and BCC button, and how do I send to a group from my address book?

The email function from iPhoto is pretty basic. The only Bcc available is to yourself (in iPhoto > Preferences > Advanced), cc: does not appear to be available at all, and it does not appear you can email to a group.
You can change this by going to iPhoto > Preferences > General and next to where it says Email photos using: select Mail. If you do this you have all the options available in Mail including Cc: and Bcc: and the ability to drag a group from Address Book into the mail addresses.
Best of luck.
