I want to download iPhoto but it won't let me says I need iOS5.1.  I have the 4s. Could someone explain this?.1.

I want to download iPhoto but it won't. Says I need iOS5.0. I have the new 4s. Can anyone help me out?

Your iPhone has to have the iOS upgraded to 5.1 first. If you have not updated it is probably running 5.0 or 5.0.1
To update the iOS go to
Settings > General > Software Update then follow the prompts.
If that says your are at 5.1 then reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Since installing Mavericks I can't see my photos. I try downloading iPhoto but it won't let me. What should I do?

    Please help. All my photos are backed up on time machine but without iPhoto I can't access them.

    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. .
    Regards

  • I have a new mac and want to sync my phone to the iTunes on it, but it won't let me manually manage without deleting all music on the phone already from another iTunes. is there a way around this?

    I have a new mac and want to sync my phone to the iTunes on it, but it won't let me manually manage without deleting all music on the phone already from another iTunes. is there a way around this?

    The best solution:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    An alternative which is really not what you should have to do, or the way it is intended to be done, if you properly manage your computer and backups:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer (except purchased content as mentioned above).  For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    Do not regard your i-device as a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up.

Downloaded QT7 but it won't let me install it. Says I can't do install as I already have QTX. Does FCP not come with QTpro or am I jsut being stupid. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.  B

  • Updated to Yosemite, no problem.  now iPhoto and iMovie won't open.  Says I need to update software however, when i try to update indicates my User ID and PW won't work for these two pieces of software.  User ID and PW works everywhere else.

    Updated to Yosemite, no problem.  now iPhoto and iMovie won't open.  Says I need to update software however, when i try to update indicates my User ID and PW won't work for these two pieces of software.  User ID and PW works everywhere else.

    I am having the same problem.  I even changed my password and updated all of my security information.  Now it just gives me an error and retry message, which of course also does not work.  Went to support and was going to open a chat (seemed the simpler option) and received a message that my support has expired for this serial number unless I want to pay $29.00.  So I chose the option to call later, which was the exact time suck I was trying to avoid.  Why wouldn't the new operating system also update the apps that were already part of my old platform?

  • HT1491 I am trying to buy a song on iTunes but it won't let me because I need to answer my security questions? But I don't remember the answers how can I change the questions?

    Click here and search the article for '2 out of 3' without the quotes; this generally involves either a message being sent to your rescue email address or contacting the iTunes Store staff directly.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and cant open iPhoto!  Saw an update for app but it won't let me; says not available for this AppleID because it was bought by a diff user or item was refunded.   Not so. What now?

    UPgraded to Yosemite and now I cant open iPhoto.  App says it needs to be updated but yet I cant udate cause it says update not available for this ID cause it was bought by another user (I only have 1 Apple Id) or item was refunded or cancelled.  ANY IDEAS?  Thnx!

    Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
    1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept it and the other iLife/iWork applications into your Apple ID, do so.
    2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
    3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
    4. Buy them.

  • HT5037 Indefinite loop trying to open iPhoto - need to prepare library with installer. Follow instructions and it says it is prepared but still won't open and says it needs to be prepared.

    I open iPhoto and receive a message saying 'To open your library with this version of iPhoto it must first be prepared.' Then the Learn More or Quit option. I click Learn More and am taken to a site to download the installer. I follow the instructions and launch the installer. It says 'Your library can now be updated by the current version of iPhoto. Would you like to launch iPhoto now?'  I click launch iPhoto and a warning pops up saying that it needs to be prepared. this is an indefinite loop and I haven't been able to launch iPhoto in over a year! This is extremely frustrating! HELP!

    Care to share how you resolved the issure for others who might have the same issue?

  • It shows that we updated iPhoto, but it won't let me open up iphoto

    I have always used iphoto, then it needed updating to new version.  I did the update.  When i want to open Iphoto a message says 'cannot open iphoto until upated"  when I go to purchased apps it shows the new version is installed.

    What's the exact error message you get? I reckon there's a good chance the word 'Library' is involved in that 'cannot open iphoto until upated"  message. Is it?

  • I want to remove masters but aperture won't let me. Yellow Explanation mark badge visible..?

    There are some masters that I can't remove from Aperture (2) as a yellow explanation mark comes up. I think there may be masters somewhere else in the mac hard drive but not in Aperture. Any one out there has any ideas?

    Everything in the Aperture Library would be using Managed Masters, and not Referenced.  Your mention of referenced led me to go that direction.  Also you seem to have observed a symbol that means referenced masters are Offline?
    If Managed, then Masters would be in the Masters folder which can be found by right clicking on the Aperture Library and choosing Show Package Contents.  Difficult to navigate, but size can be checked, and with enough looking the images.
