I am unable to upgrade iphoto 8.12 to access photo streaming.  It gives an error message when I try to update

Icloud shows photo stream not available since it states it needs Iphoto update required
I go to Learn More next to the message
It brings me to : Support/apple.com/kb/ht4906  iPhoto and Aperture: using Photo stream
"IF YOU ARE USING AND EARLIER VERSION OF IPHOTO 9"
There is a link to Mac App Store for update
It brings me to iphoto:  Are you sure you want to subscribe to this photo feed?  I hit Subscribe
A popup comes up: 
There is a problem with the subscription
Request to the server Macappstore://showUpdatespage failed.  
I hit Ok (my only choice)
And I am at iphoto. 
What is the fix?
I have spent many hours.

If you have iPhoto 8.x and want to access photostreaming, you need to buy iPhoto 9 from the App store or buy the iLife '11 package. Have you already purchased iPhoto 9 from the App store?

  • Error message when I try to download new iTunes as follows iPhoto 7.1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store

    I am trying to download new version of iTunes from App store having purchased it on my laptop.  When I try to download on my iMac I get the following message:
    Error message when I try to download new iTunes as follows:  iPhoto 7.1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store - and then I am asked if I want to buy it again. I don't understand the error message and I don't want to purchase the new version again.
    Also, since upgrading to Lion my videos (from Sanyo Xacti camera) do not play on iTunes. I can only open photos.
    Thank you.

    Make a back up of your Library. Now you can update without fear.

  • I-Photo won't open even though I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and downloaded the I-Photo upgrader.  The upgrades indicate they were successful but I still get an error message when I try to open I-Photo telling me I need to prepare the library

    I-Photo won't open even though I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and downloaded the I-Photo upgrader.
    But have you run the the iPhoto Library upgrader? It is installed in Applications > Utilities. Launch it and direct it to your iPhoto library.
    Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from?
    The upgrader is only necessary, if you have been  running iPhoto7.1.2 or earlier.

  • I am getting the following error message when I try to import photos into iPhoto from my camera: "/private/var/folders/GB/GBl4wh8-ELqUVMI5dO-ryU   TI/-Tmp-/iPhoto/DSCF2033.JPG".  Have already tried removing and reinstalling iPhoto to no avail.

    Does this happen if you try to Import to Library within iPhoto, or is it when you connect your camera (and which is set to automatically use iPhoto) that this error message occurs?
    If you open Image Capture > Preferences is iPhoto selected as the choice when a camera is connected?

  • I get an error message when I try to use share function on IPhoto. I get the triangle icon with an exclamation mark inside of it.

    I get an error message when I try to use the share function on iPhoto. When I try to share photos via email a triangle icon with an exclamation mark appears. Why can't I use share function?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? 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 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.

  • I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error.

    I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error. (-50). my icloud drive was stuck in an upgrade cycle, but i've stopped that and still get the error message.

    I restarted itunes and tried again (based on a similar question/solution from 2012).
    I don't get the error message anymore, but it's really sort of odd that after step one of sync, it looks as if sync stopped, and then all of a sudden you see step 4 of sync.
    Also before the upgrade I had 7+ gigs of space free and after the upgrade I have 10 gigs free. seems like something is amiss, but it's not like I have anyway of determining that.

  • IOS updates - I keep getting the following message when I try to update my iPad2 - unable to install update, an error occurred installing IOS 8.1.2.  How can I fix this?

    IOS error messagge - I keep getting the following message when I try to update my iPad2 - unable to install update, an error occurred installing IOS 8.1.2.  How can I fix this?

    Which way are you trying to update? WiFi or iTunes? In either case, I would try restarting/rebooting all devices and then try again.
    IF you are using iTunes, eject your iPad, quit iTunes, reboot your computer and reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. After the iPad starts up, connect to iTunes and try again. You may also want to disable your firewall and antivirus software when you try to update using iTunes. Sometimes those will interfere with the download.
    If you are using WiFi, reset the iPad as described above and try again.
    If WiFi updating will not work, try using iTunes, if iTunes will not work, try using WiFi.

  • I just did the recent upgrade and now I keep getting an error message when I try to open a book on my Kindle app, I have deregistered the app and reloaded and the same thing happens, does anyone know how to fix?

    You are seeing the message because the new AirPort Extreme has some specific System Requirements:
    http://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/specs/
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    AirPort Utility 5.6.1 in Snow Leopard may or may not work correctly with the new Extreme for all functions. As long as things are working OK for now, you can probably leave them "as is" and wait for another Mavericks update to fix some issues before you "upgrade".
    If you have an iPhone or iPad, you could use that to administer any settings changes on the new Extreme.

  • I get this error message when I try to email photos using iPhoto: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.

    I get this error message when I try to email photos using iPhoto: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply. How can I get this to work when my internet is connected?

    Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts?  If so:
    1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
    2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane.  This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

  • Error message when I try to order albums off IPhoto

    Hi folks,
    The error message I get it simply "we've encountered a problem." This occurs after the album is made and I am ready to order it. I have upped my memory, upgraded to ILife and even took the computer to the local genius bar at the apple store, all to no avail. I am using an Ibook G3, and IPhoto2.0.1. What can I do?

    The error message pops up following these steps:
    1. Assembling Book,
    2. Connecting -
    at which point I get "we've encountered a problem, please try again later.
    I've tried it at different times of the day and on weekends too.
    I've checked the internet connection, and I've tried it with the internet on and the internet off. I do not run any other operations (like downloading) while I try this.
    The album is large, but within the established parameters. (I think the total is 83 pages, with a picture or two per page). I couldn't condense it much further, because the idea was to showcase the animals (it's a safari) on those beautiful full page spreads that Iphoto offers.
    Thank you for any advice you might have!

  • Get error message when I try to download pictures from my camera to Iphoto.

    Whenever I try to download photos from my digital camera to my Iphoto application in my Mac Book Pro laptop, I'm getting an error message that "startup disk is running low on space" and to delete some files before I try to download again. I also tried to install a recent software update to my computer and could not because it said that I did not have anough GB to do so. So... I'm thinking I need to delete some things. Which items take up the most hard drive space and which would be the best files to delete? I have all my info backed up on an external hard drive, so I could delete a lot of pictures. Thanks!

    The order of consumption is usually, video, pics, music, docs.
    If you have a great deal of photos on you internal drive and have them on an external storage drive, then you can delete them from your internal, that would free up space, same for videos, they are both space hogs. I regularly put my photos to an external drive, just keep my internal with as much free space on it. It runs faster and less stressful on the drive.
    If you are having these error messages then you most certainly need to get stuff off, overloading can kill a drive.
    As a general rule try to keep the internal below 50% for better performance.
