HT5037 I am trying to open my iPhoto, but it tells me I need to upgrade. Help?
I can't opne my iPhotos. It tells me I need to upload using the Library Uploader. I download as instructed, but it doesn't seem to download. I can't open my iPhotos. Help!
Okay- so here's the long story!
Perhaps this will help.
My computer crashed a few months ago.
We got a new hard-drive.
I tried to open my iPhoto for the first time and go some message about it being "locked". I no longer get that message so I don't remember entirely what it said, but I followed to directions to "unlock" it.
Now, when I click 'iPhoto" on my dock, I get this message:
To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared.
To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple.
then there is a "learn more" button.
When you select that, it takes me here and this is where my discussion started. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5037
I followed the steps to upgrade from previous versions- see my comment above, but I get stuck from 8.1.2 version to what appears to be the next one up from there.
Does this help? I hate computers and simply want get my photos back from Carbonite before the crash happened. I'm freaking out because I have 4 years of photos from the birth of my son. If I can't get iPhoto working, I have no idea how to get my photos restored.
<sigh>

I am trying to open a file in numbers that I created in numbers but when I try it tells me that I need a newer version of numbers to open. I have version "09 2.3(554) and I have checked to see if there are any updates and I can not find any. What do I need to do to open the file?
CarolCarol,
In Finder, Right-Click or Ctrl-Click the filename and choose Open With: Numbers 3.
If you get the error you mentioned, it's almose always because you are inadvertently trying to open the docuement with the old version. It's easy to make that mistake because the icons look similar and of course the names are similar too.

Trying to open old iPhoto library on osx 10.9.5 with iPhoto 9.5.1. iPhoto says I must upgrade but upgrade eventually hangs. Tried to rebuild/repair database but it always says you have to upgrade database first and eventually hangs
What version was the old library made with?
What is the exact message? when it hangs does it crash or do you have to force quit?

I've had my MacBook Air for not even a year and about 2 months ago i tried opening my Iphoto, but it continually sits with a blank screen and the loading wheel just spins. Someone help
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.

When I try to open my aperture library, this is the message pop out " TO OPEN THIS iPHOTO LIBRARY IN APERTURE, IT FIRST NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED. "
My apperture application is already up to date. no more upgrade available. please advice what to do.The update refers to the library not the application.
So is this an Aperture library you are trying to open in iPhoto or an iPhoto library you are trying to open in Aperture? You're post is confusing on this point.
In either case make sure the library is up-to-date in the originating application then the other should open it.
BTW what version of iPhoto abnd Aperture are you running?

moved iphoto to trash and downloaded and installed new one but still tells me to prepare and upgrade it when I have done it 2 or 3 times now... how do i get it to open so I can upload my photos?
It helps if you provide details - not just a problem
What exactly dod you have and have you done?
What version of iPhoto did you have and what version do you now have? Of the OS? If you are upgrading from iphoto '08 or earlier did you download and RUN the iphoto library upgrader?
What is happening including exact messages

I was at Apple Store yesterday and they created a pages document for me. When I got home and tried to open it, I get a message that I need a newer version of Pages. I see the image before I push "open". The 'kind' is pages publication. The file does not appear in the 'open recent' list.
Just be careful with Pages 5, it is not strictly an upgrade.
Apple has actually removed over 90 features and some work can be very difficult in the newer version.
It was all done to make it more interchangeable with the inferior iOS version:

I had just updated my Mac to 10.6.1. When it finished, I had tried to open up Itunes but it says it requires 10.6.8 or later. When i had tried to update my mac it asked for my adiminstartor password. I dont know my password. Any way to reset it without using a disc?
Sure there is.
1. restart your computer in Single User Mode (by pressing Command + S during boot - see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1492)
This will boot your OS X system in a kind of command line mode.
Note: this will not work if you have a Firmware password set.
2. when in Single User Mode, enter the following command
mount -uw /
to mount your OS X file system.
3. now you can enter the following command
passwd username
replacing "username" by your OS X user's short name. Then you will be prompted to enter the new password for that user. You will have to confirm that new password.
Note that you will not see any character showing when you enter the new password; this is expected behaviour. -

I am trying to update my iPhoto, but...
I am trying to update my iPhoto, but getting the error message, "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."
Apple's servers were having issues earlier today - both iOS apps and Mac App Store apps (like iPhoto) were unable to be downloaded.
The issues seem to be resolved now, though, so I would recommend trying again if you have not.
If you still have issues, let us know.
