I CANNOT DOWNLOAD iPHOTO

Hello,
I have a iBook G4 Mac OS X version 10.3.9
My iBook came with iPhoto 4.0.3 (4H2)
I am trying to update this version with the new iPhoto 6 through the Apple downloads website. I downloaded the new version and when I tried to install it this notification came up:
iPhoto_604 cannot be installed on this computer.
An eligible iPhoto application could not be found in /Applications.
What does this mean? How do I update my version WITHOUT having to buy the iLife package??
Thank you!

If iPhoto came with your computer it will be either on the system install disk or maybe the Software Restore disk. An easy way of finding and installing it is to download Pacifist and use it to locate the iPhoto install package of the appropriate disk and install it.
Do you Twango?

    Hi,
    I am trying to download iphoto 9.2.3 on my Mac O s x Lion 10.7.4. Once downloaded the instalation is stopped and I receive the following alert " The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available". I have tried to access the App store but cannot find this download, hence I ma stuck. Can anybody provide a bit of help here? Thank you in advance.

    Hi - Thank you! This has actually solved my question as I was trying to complete the installation via the link provided in the alert box, which didn't work. Thank you ever so much, all good now!

  • Cannot download Iphoto with Yosemite

    Updates to Yosemite.
    Cannot open the current version of Iphoto. I cannot download the new version on the Appstore (link dead).
    Can anybody help me with that?

    You need to be running Yosemite in order to download and run the latest version of iPhoto from the App Store.  Your profile shows you running 10.7.2.  You'll need to update your system before you'll be able to download iPhoto;
    Missed your first sentenance.  TD has the route to follow.

  • Cannot download Iphoto after updated to Yosemite

    I cannot update Iphoto anymore after updated to Yosemite. The system popped up a small window and showed that: update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. But it is my own account, I just changed the password.
    Please help me to solve this problem.

    That means, that your AppleID is not associated with the iPhoto version you have installed.
    Which version of iPhoto do you currently have?  Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID (in the Store" menu).
    If iPhoto came preinstalled on your Mac, check the "Purchases" tab of the App Store, if there is an "Accept" button besides iPhoto. If yes, accept iPhoto to associate it with your Apple ID.  Then try again to update.
    If that does not work, uninstall iPhoto - move the iPhoto app from the Applications folder to the Trash and then go to the "Featured" tab of the App Store, search for iPhoto using the Search field, then press the "Get" button to install iPhoto again, this time with your current AppleID:

  • Cannot download iPhoto or iMovie to Mac mini Yosemite

    Trying to download this software and unlike 3rd party apps, instead of saying "install" the button says "accept".
    When I click "accept" I get the password form, enter the correct password, it loads for a second, closes the form and it goes back to the same screen. So I cannot download the apps!

    Accepting will associate preinstalled apps with your Apple ID.
    Are you signed in to the store with your AppleID? Check the "Store" menu.
    Are you in the same country, as you originally were, when you set up your Mac? Is your AppleID working for other purchases from the Mac App Store?

  • Cannot download iphoto 9.6

    I hit the accept button on the app store for iPhoto 9.6 and nothing happens.

    Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    Follow the directions in this support article.
    Step 2
    Associate your Apple ID with your user account. Then sign in to the App Store with the same ID.
    Step 3
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder may open with a file named "adoption.plist" selected. If it does, move the file to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Log out, log back in, and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 4
    Contact Mac App Store Customer Service.

  • Why can't i download iPhoto

    I cannot download iphoto to my newly upgraded macbook early 2008 i tried the appstore but it requires OS X 10.9 (which i cannot download because my macbook is not compatible) my macbook is now 10.7.5 (lion) how do i download the compatible version of iphoto
    PLEASE!!!

    Install it from the computer's original disks or an iLife 11 DVD.
    If you previously bought a compatible version from the Mac App Store, go to its main page, click on Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.

  • I can not download iPhoto 9.0 as it is unavailable in the app store.  I need it before I can download iPhoto 9.0.1

    I am currently running OS X Yosemite on my MAC.  I cannot download iPhoto 9.0 as it is unavailable in the app store.  I need it before I can download iPhoto 9.0.1

    iPhoto 8.1.2.  
    OS X 10.10.2 is correct.
    Your only options are to:
    1 - upgrade to 10.10.3 and Photos 1.0
    or
    2 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from an online retailer like Amazon.com , install iPhoto 9.0 and upgrade it to 9.4.3 via these updaters:
    update to iPhoto 9.2.1
    update to iPhoto 9.3
    update to iPhoto 9.3.2
    update to iPhoto 9.4
    and finally to iPhoto 9.4.3
    From there you may be able to get iPhoto 9.6.1 from the App Store but not sure.

  • I cannot download photos from my digital camera to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to successfully do this up to 4 days ago but not yesterday. My camera/device is recognized in the Source List but photos won't download for me to import to library.

    I cannot download photos from my digital camera (via a cable) to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to do this successfully up til 4 days ago but not yesterday (Dec. 25th). My camera/device is recognized in the Source List, but when it tries to download the photos, all I get are the words "Loading Photos" in the area where the thumbnail pictures usually display. The little "gear" symbol next to the words but it just goes round and round. Nothing ever downloads, and instead of showing me how many pictures there are to import it just says "No photos". So therefore I cannot import the photos to my library since they won't even download.
    I was getting an error message a few days ago that my Iphoto library was getting full, so I emptied my trash in both Iphoto and on my computer. I had this same problem back in October and emptying the trash and getting rid of some photos did help (can I really be using that much storage space for the pictures?). But it didn't help this time.
    Any suggestions as to what to do to solve the problem? I would try taking the SD card out and inserting that into the slot on the computer to see if I could load pictures that way; but the last time I did that, they wouldn't load. Not sure if I lost pics from the disc or not.
    Thank you,

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

  • I just upgraded to Yosemite, downloaded iPhoto 9.6 and get this promptYour photo library is damaged or unreadable and cannot be opened. Please restore from a backup. Suggestions?

    I just upgraded to Yosemite, had to upgrade my iPhoto so downloaded iPhoto 9.6. My photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this new version of iPhoto but when it started to upgrade, this prompt appeared -Your photo library is damaged or unreadable and cannot be opened. Please restore from a backup.
    Suggestions?

    Try 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 there! So, I already contacted Mac App Store support several times, the response:
    - "Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.
    Thank you for your patience. Apple wants your iTunes experience to be as enjoyable as possible"
    I answered I really needed it, and if they knew the estimated time it would take to solve the issue. Here's the last response.
    - "According to your previous correspondence, you have not been able to install iLife after reinstalling OS X Lion. I understand that this issue is under investigation, and that you would like to know the amount of time needed to find a resolution. As a fellow iTunes customer, I certainly understand that you need to use iPhoto for professional reasons, and I'll gladly help you to resolve this problem.
    Unfortunately, I am unable to give you the exact amount of time this issue could take. I do assure you that our engineers are currently working towards a resolution. "
    I'm going to an Apple Sotre Genius today, in 2 hours. I'll keep updated!!
