I cannot update iphoto after installing Mavericks

I updated to Mavericks and now the app store is saying I have an update for iphoto. I cannot get the update, I am getting this error message " failed to verify preflight file. It is not signed by apple".  Is there spmethign that I am missing? I tried to donload the update 9.4.3 and when I attempt to install the update I am getting a message that says iphoto has to be updated through the app store. Any ideas ?

I solved this problem from a post I read on another thread (can't remember how I got there).  Here are the steps that fixed it for me:
Close App Store
Go to Keychain Access, Preferences, Certificates tab
Change the OCSP and CRL to "best attempt"
Exit Preferences and then Keychain access
Restart (this may not be necessary, but it the next step I took)
Launch App Store, Purchases, Click on the one that would not install before - good luck
For me, it was iPhoto and iMovie, but I later discovered that no app would download, even new ones from under "Featured".  I also updraded a Mac Pro last night with Mavericks and it did not have this problem.  In checking later, I discovered that these preferences were already set as described above.

  • How do I update iPhoto after installing Mavericks, I cannot access my iPhoto library?

    I updated my OS to Mavericks from OS Lion and now my iPhoto is out of date and will not open so I can access my photos. I tried to update it from the apps store and it told me my Apple ID was not the one that had been registered or created when the Mac was bought.
    Please help, I need my photos!

  • Cannot enter apple id to update iphoto after installing mavericks

    I am second owner of Macbook Air. Have owned this for about two years. After I purchased this, I took it to the Apple Store to get all the old data erased, and it has worked fine since, until I upgraded to Mavericks, and now iphoto needs to update. When I go to the App Store and click on the update button for iphoto, a window pops up that displays the previous owner's apple ID subdued, and only allows entry of a password, or the cancel button. I am signed in on the App Store as me, and under settings, administrator, it shows my apple ID. I also have reset my apple ID password and security questions, but that did not change the update page for software update.
    How can I get rid of the old apple ID and get the machine to revert to my ID?
    Thank you.

    No, it will upgrade as expected.
    As usual always good to have a back-up non-the-less.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • 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.

  • Why is that I am not able to update iPhoto after install os x yosemite?  is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

    "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"  iPhoto is gone after installing to OS X Yosemite.  Where did it go and how do i get all my pictures back ??
    HELP !!!
    Did you upgrade to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 in Mavericks? Then updating to 9.6 may not work - it is buggy at the moment.
    If you already own a version of iPhoto 9.x.x, but cannot update iPhoto, try to buy a new version.  When I look at the AppStore, the price has now changed to "Free", so it should not matter if you buy again or update.
    Delete iPhoto from Applications, but do not empty the Trash.
    Go to the first page of the App Store and sign in with your AppleID.
    Search for "iPhoto" using the Search field.
    What does the button below the iPhoto icon show? If it is showing "Free" like for me, click "free" to purchase again.

  • I can't update iPhoto after installing yosemite

    i can't update or open iPhoto after installing yosemite

    Ok so here's what you gonna do. (had this problem myself today, and after some fiddling figured out what to do.)
    Find your old iPhoto with a cross through it, right-click it and select 'show package contents'. A folder will open. In that folder go to Contents>MacOS and there will be three little things there. Click on the one called 'iPhoto' and terminal will open. Leave terminal open and wait four seconds and VOILA! iPhoto opens. Leave terminal open until you are finished with iPhoto, because if you close terminal, iPhoto will close with it. THX! ENJOY! Hope it works.
    P.S.
    You can close terminal once you close iPhoto. I also suggest backing up your iPhoto library while you can.

  • Unable to update iPhoto after installing yosemite on iMac

    recently installed yosemite OS, but cannot open iPhoto without update  and cannot find update.

    Its been like this for 2 hours...
    It may be hanging, because you are running out of storage - do you have at least 10GB of fee disk space?
    Or something is interfering with your connection to the App Store - anti virus software, a firewall. If you have any such software running, restart yor mac in Safe Mode and try reinstalling in this mode:  Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
    If that does not help either, ask in the App Store forum.

  • Unable to open iPhoto after installing Mavericks and latested iPhoto Version.

    I have just installed Mavericks onto my Macbook Pro. The next thing I did was purchase, download and install the most recent version of iPhoto. The previous version of iPhoto was '09 Vers. 8.1.2.
    I have about 300gb’s of images in my iPhoto library, which are on an external HD. When I try to launch iPhoto, I get a message saying the iPhoto library must be upgraded. So, I click on ‘upgrade’,and either a white screen with a large icon of a folder appears, but nothing else happens. One other time, before I clicked on upgrade, a gray screen with a scrolling gear appeared, but once again… nothing happens. I still can not access any of the images in my iPhoto library.
    How do I get the new iPhoto version to play nice with my images?

    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.

  • Cannot update iPhoto after upgrading to Yosemite

    I have a Macbook Pro which I upgraded to Yosemite but now I cannot access iPhoto because it says I need to upgrade. The problem is that it won't let me upgrade because it says that it was either bought by a different user (I am the only user of this computer) or the item was refunded or cancelled. None of these are applicable. What can I do?

    In that case you'll need to contact the App Store support personnel via this website:  http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/

  • Problem upgrading iPhoto after installing Maverick

    I just upgraded from OS X v10.6.8 to Mavericks.  I cannot upgrade my iPhotos (current version 8.1.2).  The general software updater doesn't seem to pick up that the software needs updating the 'update all' option doesnt work.  When I try to update directly from within iPhoto it tells me there is a new version which comes as part of iLife 11 but when I click on 'learn more' it takes me to the mac website  where i get a message 'Hmm, the page you’re looking for can’t be found'
    I am concerned that this is not the only software which needs updating and is not being recognised.  Can anyone help with my immediate problem and the broader issue of how to check other software are not having the same issue?
    Thanks

    You'd have the same version of Word since the MS updates update all MS Office apps.
    The only thing that I can suggest is to take your question to the MS Office 2011 Mac forums -> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac.
    That's where I'm headed to complain about my font problems!

  • Cannot update iPhoto after Yosemite update

    Every time I try to update I get this 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.
    It doesn't give me the option to "buy" it, and I know it hasn't been cancelled. I'm the only user on my Mac so I don't know what's going on... : ( How do I get my photos back?

    Did someone else set up your Mac for your did you buy it second hand?
    If you used a different Apple ID when you set up your Mac, sign into the AppStore with that Apple ID and try again to update.
    Does iPhoto show on the Purchased tab of the AppStore?  If yes, delete if from the Applications folder (don't empty the Trash), sign into the AppStore and try to reinstall from the AppStore.
    If this does not work, contact Apple Support from the "Quick Links" on the "Featured " page of the AppStore.

  • 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:
