I have iPhoto 7.1.5

I have iPhoto 7.1.5 & iPhoto 9.4.3. The 9.4.3 version doesn't have can't load images of my older pics, but I could view them in the 7.1 version. How do I merge the two iPhoto apps and not lose any pics? I'm also still on OSX and don't want to upgrade until I fix this after hearing about all of the other iPhoto issues with Yosemite.

Sorry but your post is not clear. Why do you have two version of iphoto?
If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

Restore your library from the Time Machine backup to your Pictures folder as shown here:
Launch iPhoto and have it will open your library.

I have Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424). I am having an identical problem. All my pictures are imported into Iphoto when I downloaded them from my camera. Until recently, I thought that the pictures were actually saved in the library. Since I need to crop my pictures for the web, and Iphoto doesn't do that, I purchased Photoshop Elements to do that. To my surprise, when I try to get a picture from Iphoto to Photoshop, it can't be done. That was when I realized, after wasting a lot of time, that the photos are not in the Iphoto library.
I started naming the pictures on Iphoto so I had a recognizable file name to open on Photoshop. Couldn't find it. I looked in the Backup folder and the Transfer software folder (I have a Nikon camera), and the names I entered in the Iphoto display, could not be found.
When I am trying to upload a photo to the web, I get the Finder folder showing with an active folder called "Photos" under "Media", which only displays Iphoto and PhotoBooth. This is a folder name that I cannot find in my HD anywhere when I look for it. If I edit a picture with Photoshop, I am not going to save it back to Iphoto (not sure whether it will work properly). How do I get my folder of edited photos to show when I want to upload a picture to the web?
Where (the name of the folder) do I find the pictures I see displayed on the Iphoto library, including any name changes, keywords added, and so on?

See my response to your other post.

I currently have iPhoto 8.1.2 on my macbook pro and am trying to update to the latest version. I have had to work backward, but I can only get back to 9.1, which will not install because it says I need at least 9.0 to install it. Is 9.0 available?

Upgrading from iPhoto 8 to iPhoto 9 requires a purchase. There are two ways to get to iPhoto 9:
1 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
2 - if your MBP meets the requirements upgrade you system for free to Mavericks. Then you can purchase the latest iPhoto version, 9.5.1, from the App Store.

I have iPhoto '09 v 8.1.2 and it will not install v9.2.1 that i downloaded. Keeps asking for me to have v9.0 or higher. Any ideas please?

Hi, I have iPhoto'09 v8.1.2 (424). I have downloaded v9.2.1 update and it will not install.
Keeps asking for me to have v 9.0 or later. Now i have downloaded 9.1update plus 9.1.3 and they will not install either.
Do i need 9.0 and if so where do i get it? THANKS nomadreg

No, iLIfe is a suite of applications: iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand (earlier versions of the suite also contained iDVD ad iWeb).

Hi,
I scoured the web looking everywhere for a solution to this.
Exit Code 15
OSX 8.5 with Work@Home DVD media for CS6
I followed instructions to run 3rd party cleaner software
I tried the adobe removal tool
removing all copies of adobe software manually
installing from a new account, safe mode, plist everything suggested that i found did not work.
A colleague suggested that removing the below folder would allow the installation:
/Library/Application Supports/Adobe
They turned out to be correct, so i am passing this on, because this took far too many hours of my time.
Cheers,
Smokey

How can I find what apple ID I used to register my iMac when I first booted up? I am being told that by using this ID I will be able to go on to the App store and down load iPhoto at no cost. Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now

Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now and I only purchased my new iMac in December 2012
Thanks....

Launch Keychain Access and click on Login in the left hand pane and then on Passwords. Next do search for Apple in the search field at the top and click on Apple ID Authenicication in the list that comes up. That will give you the ID no. and password.

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry,
Yes, the error message is exactly like that ("Database error: failured to persist version")
No photos will import at all. I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2.
About the difference? iPhoto and Photos . Are there two softwares?
I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto. It's call iPhoto library. At one point I turned off streaming.
Thanks again Larry HN.

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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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 have iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2 .

I have iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2 . Is there any way I can update to iPhoto '11 without having to pay for it? Or is it a completely seperate program, not just an update?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iLife upgrades like the upgrade to iLife '11 from iLife '09 is paid. However, when you have got iLife '11, all updates are free of charge.
In conclusion, you need to pay for iPhoto '11, but then you will not have to pay until Apple releases a major update. As you are running OS X Mavericks, you can purchase iPhoto in the Mac App Store

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

How can I transfer photos from my iPhone to my Mac if I don't have iPhoto?

When I connect my iPhone to iTunes I can't find a way to get hold of my pictures in my iPhone, does anyone know how I can import my iPhone photo library to my Mac? I don't have iPhoto, so it doesn't syncronize by itselt...
Thanks!

Image capture doesn't recognise my iPhone since I upgraded to Lion. Anyone else having this problem, or is it just me?

What is the best way to transfer my iphoto library from old imac to new imac. both have iphoto 9.2.1

What is the best way to transfer my iphoto library from current imac to my new imac. Both imacs have iphoto 9.2.1
os on old imac is 10.6.8. os on new imac is 10.7.2. I want the albums and events to stay intact. I have 4500 photos and 79 videos. 14.9 gb. looking for some advice here. Thanks so much.

Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

I have iPhoto 08 and have been happy with it. Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly, when I click on an event, instead of all the photos, I just get one- enlarged- and cannot move to the next one. The photo just jumps up or down. How to solve?

I have posted "submit" twice and keep getting requests to submit again. Now being asked to write a summary! Here we go. I have iPhoto 08 and am happy with it. Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly when I click on an event, instead of getting all the photos, I just get a large version of one photo and cannot move on to the others. The right arrow will not move it and the photo just jumps around.

Note the slider bottom right of the iPhoto Window. Drag it left.

After re-install I no longer have iPhoto

I recently had to carry out a complete erase and install on my G4 12inch PowerBook.
(See this thread -
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=616332&tstart=0)
Instead of using the discs that came with my PB I used the newer Tiger OS X DVD that I bought last year. I then updated to OS X 10.4.8 and re-installed my programmes. Everything worked beautifully and I was well pleased!
It was only today when I went to upload some images that I realised I no longer have iPhoto installed on the PB.
Can someone please tell me how I can get iPhoto (without buying the iLife CD)? I still have the original Install disks that came with my PB, but don't know if I can simply 'extract' the iPhoto app and install it. I don't want to cause any problems by trying to install an app. from an 'earlier' version of the OS - or will this not cause any grief?
Help please!

Thanks for the suggestion. I decided to take the time consuming and irritating route of erasing my new installation of Tiger, re-installing the original Panther OS then doing an archive and install of Tiger. I now have 10.4.8 up and running AND I've recovered iPhoto. As they say, we learn from our mistakes!
What the ****.... it's only time and inconvenience

I have iPhoto 11, 9.4.1 installed. When my library was upgraded, I got a message the photos couldn't be imported and I need to repair iPhoto permissions. How do I do that? My photos are there, but I can no longer drag them to the photo stream.

I have iPhoto 11, version 9.4.1 installed. When my library upgraded, I got a message that the photos couldn't be inported and I need to repair iPhoto permissions. How do I do that? My photos are there, but I can no oonger drag them to the photo stream.

Disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's preferences and then go back and reenable it. See if that will jump start the process. If that doesn't help try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto check its preferences to meka sure all is as you expect and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
