I cant update iphoto since uploading to Maverick

Maverick wont let me open iphoto & i cant update iphoto with my old or current apple id

You must log in using the Apple ID that was used to set up the compter (or purchase the application if it was purchased later)
Assuming that you have some version of iPhoto '11 it should be available under the purchases tab
You can try trashing the iPhoto Application (do not empty the trash until everything is working ok) and then installing from the App store
If that is not working then you must contact App store suport - link is on the right of the App store window

How can I update iPhoto and iVideo from Mavericks?

How can I update iPhoto and iVideo from Mavericks?

Was iVideo purchased on the app store? If so, both iPhoto and iVideo can be updated via the App Store. (You can click on Software Update under the Apple menu at the top left of your display).

I cant update Iphoto because of user account

Hi, I bought a second-hand Macbook from an aquiantance which already had all the basic apps like imovie, iphoto, etc. Now, after updating to Yosemite I realise I also have to update iphoto. So, the problem is that it was purchased by the account of the previous owner of the macbook. So now this pop-up appears when I try to update it. I wouldnt mind having the old version, but it wont open. I NEED to update in order to use iphoto. I have pictures stored in the old version I cant recover, and they were emotionally important to me. Any ideas??
Thank you

In the Applications folder on your computer drag the application you wish to own to the trash and then go to the App Store and purchase and install them

Update iPhoto '09 before installing Maverick?

I have iPhoto '09 and have seen enough discussions that tell me I need to be careful before proceeding with a Maverick update.
I actually asked in the Apple Store but the person didn't seem to sure.
Do I install Maverick and let it update iPhoto?
Or do I need to bring iPhoto current first and then install Maverick.
Are there any special precautions (other than backing up my files) that I need to take or anything to be aware of?
Thanks...

Make a full backup of your computer before upgrading to Mavericks, not only backup your documents and data. A bootable clone of your system on an external drive, or a full Time Machine Backup. This way, you you can revert to the previous state, if something should go wrong.

Neither.
Your current version will not run without problems on Mavericks, and the new iPhoto 9.5.1 will not run on your current version.
So, while still running iPhoto '09, repair your iPhoto library. This will make it safer to upgrade the library to to iPhoto 9.5.1 format.
Then install upgrade to Mavericks, and now you can buy iPhoto '11 from the AppStore.Then double-click your library to open it in iPhoto '11.
To repair your iPhoto library launch iPhoto with the key combination option-command held down and use the library first aid panel to repair the database.

I can't update iPhoto after upgrading to Mavericks

I have searched everywhere for my iLife '11 disc and can't find it. App Store says I must update iPhoto, iMovie etc, but won't accept my Apple id. Can't talk to apple support without first agreeing to pay $60!!. Can someone tell me what to do next??

App Store says I must update iPhoto, iMovie etc, but won't accept my Apple id.
If your versions of iPhoto, etc have been installed using a different AppleID, then you have to ask the person who installed it to authorize the update.
Or uninstall the current versions and buy the updatetd versions.
If you are sure, that the versions have been accepted to your current AppleID, there may be aproblem with your AppleID. Sometimes an AppleID will be disabled for use with the AppStore for security reasons. Do you get an error message, that indicates a problem with your AppleID?

Cant Update iPhoto & imovie

trying to update Iphoto app i reciever 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."
This is not the case as this laptop was given to me by my company "Weather Channel" to use. How do i correct this issue!? Any hlp would be appreciated. FYI, i deleted the old IPhoto app and am worried that I'll have to pay for the app again.

You hae to log into the App store using the Apple ID that was used to set up the computer to update the applications associated with that Apple ID
Otherwise you need to contact the App store suport to see if they can help (link is on the right of the app store windw) or puchase your own copies of the applications

App store won't let me update iphoto since upgrading to yosemite

i just upgraded to Yosemite, and now my dock shows the iPhoto icon with a slash over it saying that it's not compatible with Yosemite. when i go to the app store to update i get the message as follows -
Update Unavailable with This Apple ID
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.
unfortunately i can't even find out what version of iPhoto i'm running because i can't open it.
anyone have any ideas on what's wrong? thanks in advance!

You should be able to go the Mac App Store, login with your Apple ID that you have set up and registered, and then since you just bought the iMac New you should find those two Apps to click on listed in the "Purchases" List that is associated with your Apple ID account. You may or may not need to, for Free, redownload those two Apps from the Purchases List to trigger allowing Free Updates. I'm not sure, not having done this that way.
Hope this helps

Cant update iphoto. I am directed to sign in an account that is not mine, and I dont have a password to. what do I do. I have not updated in a very long time because of this problem.

Dear All,
Ever since i installed mountain lion to my imac, I have not been able to update my iphoto. I keep getting software update alert, but when I go to update, I am asked to log into a hotmail account which does not belong to me, and which I obviously do not have a password to. I am distracted by this. can anyone please advice me on what to do? Thanks in advance

Sorry LarryHN
Your response did not help.!
I did not purchase the computer from someone Else or i i Would have knoen the password could be thèrs, Besides only iPhoto and i movie had that problem. Anyway,
Fortunately i was able to find a solution from a thread where someone asked the same question. I did what they Said, which was something to dó with spotlight, and Bingo it Worlked.

Can't update iPhoto since updating to Yosemite

We updated our Mac last night to find this morning I couldn't open IPhoto. I am getting an error saying I need to upgrade to a newer version however when I am directed to the App store. When attempting to install the upgrade I am getting a message "an error occurred during purchase". I cannot get this to update. Any suggestions? thanks!

Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window.

Cant update iphoto because its under another user

I can´t update or use my iPhoto with Yosemite because its under another user and I don´t wan´t to lose my photos.

You need to either update it from the Apple ID used to download it or delete and redownload it; on a Mac, this won’t erase your photos or the application’s other data, but they should be backed up anyway.

Cant update iphoto

When I open iPhoto it tells me that there is a new version, so I go to software update, but there seem not to be any new software for my mac.

How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update
If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.
Other than that... what version of iPhoto do you have?
Regards
TD

I can't update iPhoto since I upgraded my IOs to IOX Yosemite. Need help !

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using now?
what system version are you running?
what happens when you try to download iPhoto 9.6 from the App Store?

Can't open iPhoto since upgrading to Mavericks

I have a MacPro now running OS 10.9.2 which has been backed up regularly to an external drive using Time Machine. I've been using iPhoto for years, have thousands of photos in the library (all but the most recent saved to an external drive as a secondary backup).
When I tried to open iPhoto for the 1st time after the upgrade I gor an error message that says "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it. iPhoto can try to repair the permissions."
I click on repair, get lots of spinning then get the message, "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." I tried to find the library on the machine using a variety of search requests. "iPhoto library", "library", bring up nothing, spotlight simply finds the application.
What gives, and more importantly, what can I do?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

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