HT5525 iPhoto order asks for update, but already did

I keep getting a note recommending that I update to iPhoto 9.2.3 or later before placing an order, but my system shows that I already upgraded months ago. Why doesn't Apple recognize this and could it cause a problem in printing the photo book?

iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto.
What version do you have?

Asked to quit iphoto for update but already quit?

hi,
I am trying to update iPhoto from the app store but I was promted to quit iPhoto (see pic, German) even though it's not even opened. I can't cancel the updating process nor can I shut down my macbook (it even says it might hurt my software if I interrupt now...). I tried lauching iPhoto and quitting again, but that does't do anything.
What should I do?

. I can't cancel the updating process nor can I shut down my macbook (it even says it might hurt my software if I interrupt now...)
Try force quitting. Click Force Quit from your Apple menu icon top left corner in your screen. From the drop down menu click Force Quit. Select App Store then click Force Quit.
Or, try Command + Option + Esc on your keyboard.
Or, you can force quit apps using Activity Monitor located in HD > Applications > Utilities.
There's a work around for problems updating apps from the App Store.
Uninstall the iPhoto app using this free utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac
Then follow these instructions for reinstalling. That will install the latest iPhoto version for you which is 9.3.2.

Websites asking for updated Quicktime -already using 10.4.3 w/latest update

I am a new powerbook user...performed all software updates about ten days ago yet when I visit certain websites to view video, I get a dialogue box suggesting that Quicktime needs updating to view the video. Huh? Can anyone make sense of this?

I too have noticed unacceptable behaviour running Safari on my Mac Mini running 10.4.3. I have not notied my mouse becoming inoperative but it will frequently not load pages...just stops part way into the load and then just sits there. It eventualy will just stop loading. If I try another site it might aork and it might not. A restart of safari sometimes fixes it and sometimes not. A restart of the computer will usually result in safari running properly but will only last a short while before pages stop loading. I have cleared caches several times a day trying to stop this crap but it just wont run right.
Seriously this is crap software...I can run explorer on my XP system and never have a problem. Running off the same home wireless system that I am using for the Mac. Can someone tell me what the problem is OR give me a better alternative to Safari? Maybe Explorer for Mac osx? Im just frustrated with this and dont feel this stuff should be on the market if it cannot perform any better than what I have experienced.

i've installed iso7 on my ipad and its asking for password but i did not install one,what can i do?

Hey Beata G,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If you are unable to install the software update, you may need to plug the iPad Mini into a power source. If it is below a certain percentage in power it will require power to ensure that iPad Mini does not loose power when installing. If you still have issues the following article will walk you through that process and also if you want to update the iPad Mini through iTunes.

Have purchased ilife11 garage band but garageband keeps asking for updates

How do i upate garageband to ilfe11 already purchased and downloaded it

Hi Paula,
If I understand correctly you already purchased iLife '11 and updated your computer with it. I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say that GarageBand (GB) keeps asking for updates. Perhaps this will help. Even though iLife '11 is a new software, there already has been a number of software updates to iPhoto '11, iMovie '11, and GB '11 as well. The new software updates come during weekdays, usually on Tuesday or Wednesday. In general it's advised to check up for new software updates on regular basis. I do it every day from Monday through Friday. Sometimes there is whole bunch of updates available every week, and sometimes there is nothing for some time. So, if by any chance you haven't updated your software since the time you installed iLife '11, it's possible that all these updates are waiting till you do what you have to do, meaning, click on Apple icon in upper left corner of your screen, and then click on Software Update in scroll down menu, after you do that, the box with a message will appear on the screen. If there aren't any updates it will say so, in that case click on Quit. If there is something available, go for it, just follow the instructions. You can update right away or latter, but you need these updates. If you want to be sure that your GB is up to date, open any project, click on GarageBand in menu bar (left upper corner of your screen), then click on Check for Updates in down scroll menu. If there is update available, just follow the instructions, if there is nothing there, the message box will appear saying that your GB is up to date.
Cheers!

HT1338 The latest update for Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.3 keeps asking for Restart, but does not update.

The latest update for Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.3 does not update. Keeps asking for Restart but no update.

Yup, I'm experiencing the exact same thing.
I (and many others) are experiencing the same or similar issues with the 10.8.3 update.
I've sent an response to Apple but have not yet received anything back (yet).

Help! When I went to restore back up for my Iphone after downloading software update, it asked for password which I did not know. Apparently the box for encrypt had been checked but I do not recall anywhere indicating I needed to choose password. I was sent back to page with 2 options - set up new phone OR restore from back up WHICH I CANNOT DO WOTHOUT PASSWORD. wHAT DO i DO?

Connect it to your computer via the supplied sync cable and restore.

I am running OS X version 10.7.5 on a Macbook Air. I read in one thread where someone had an update that was higher than 10.7.5 but when I ask for updates, none are available. Is this the last update for OS X?

Niel, thanks for your response. I have been very wary of downloading Mavericks on this machine. I don't feel it has the power to run it and I'm afraid it was slow it down terribly. It was bought in late 2008. It's fine for my purposes at this time…just holding on until I buy a new one. I have the same problem others have with autofill not working, so I was trying to see if an update would help that situation. Grace

Iphoto keeps asking to update thumbnails - EACH TIME

iPhoto iphoto keeps asking to update thumbnails - EACH TIME. I've told it ignore 5 times, and each sessions involves about 100 photos and 2 horus of clicking no - help!
Where is the file that I can update?
Thanks
George

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 Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
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.

Hey. I have recently made an update on my daughters iMac, particularly update OS X 10.9.4, when finished, its still asking for update and the same update stills remarked in the apple update menu and at the App store app. Why doesn't stop asking f.ud?

Hey. I have recently made an update on my daughters iMac, particularly the update OS X 10.9.4, when finished, its still asking for update and the same update stills remarked as ready in the apple update menu and remarked as 1 to go at the App store app. Why doesn't stop asking for update when its done like 5 times or more? Thanks for taking your time!

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated the system to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. Why and what am I supposed to do?

Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated it from Lion to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. They also didn't put Pages, Keynote or Numbers back on it until I argued with them. Of course, I didn't have my data backed up. My hard drive was destroyed when I tried to install the update of Mavericks myself. I should not have to buy iWeb and iPhoto when I already had them. Suggestions?

cwhargrave,
have you tried looking in the App Store, to see if you can redownload iWeb and iPhoto there gratis?
If you haven’t done so already, you should purchase an external hard drive to act as a Time Machine backup destination, so that you’ll have an option to rollback to a working environment if a new OS installation is troublesome.

Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?

Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?
Background:
In options I have "check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them" ticked. This works fine, in that I periodically receive a notice of an available update, and it will ask me whether I want to I want to install it.
But there are certain times -- for reasons I won't go into here (unless requested as part of seeking a solution) -- where I want to manually check for new versions, but RETAIN the ability to decide whether or not to install it. But if I click Help/About Firefox/Check for Updates, and it finds an update, it will immediately proceed to install it without asking for permission. While that seems quite inconsistent with my update preferences in Options, it is apparently normal behavior as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version#w_how-do-i-manually-check-for-updates.
So is there any way I can manually check for new-update availability but then refuse the update if I so choose? Once an unwanted install begins, I'm concerned that if I click cancel I could end up with a partial installation or some "messed up," duplicated or corrupted FF files (e.g., multiple versions appended with (1), (2) etc, similar to what sometimes confusingly happens when I do an XP System Restore).
Thanks.

I think what needs to be made very clear here is that when a user clicks on "check for updates" the software should bloody well CHECK for updates and most certainly SHOULD NOT proceed to download and apply any updates. this is misleading and intrusive.
I just wanted to check if there was an updated version but I DID NOT want to actually update at that moment. the software downloaded data, costing me money and tried to apply the update which could have potentially messed up my settings if I had not checked everything was ok first.
I actually discovered how to prevent the update by searching through windows and manually deleting the files but why should anyone have to go to such lengths?
the software should simply do as it is asked, not do things that have most certainly not been asked.

TS1368 My account keeps asking for Region but the drop down menu lists Cities in China. I can,'t cange the region in my account because it asks me to check the date and time but these are correct. Any answers please?

Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.
