I want to update iPhoto but i am afraid it will delete my photos on my desktop
I have an old IPhoto, and it says i need to update it, but i am afraid it will delete my photos off my desktop.. will it?
Updating an application will not affect the any files off your your desktop. Have these photos on your Desktop been imported into your iPhoto Library? What system are you rurnning and what version of iPhoto do you currently have? What version do you want to upgrade to?
And, as Robert has already asked, do you have backups of your lPHoto library and hard dirve?

Help! I really don't want to lose all my photos! It says to upgrade, it won't be compatible with my old photo pictures.
No - what it says is that after you upgrade the iPhoto library you will not be able to use that iPhoto library with an older version
Just backup and upgrade - everything will be fine and if there is a problem, which always can happen, you will have a good backup

I paused the update of iphoto. I now do not want to update it , but I can not use the iphoto because it says I am updating. What can I do to stop it?
FInd the original installer discs you have iPhoto on. By the way, your signature makes no sense for the forum you are in, nor the knowledgebase article you posted the question from.
HT1338 discusses the Mac App Store, not available till mac OS X 10.6.6 or later.
Mavericks is Mac OS X 10.9 and later.
Your signature says you have 10.2.x.
Lacking further info, we can't give you concrete information. Where did you get iPhoto from? The App Store or an installer CD of iLife, or the installer disc that came with your iMac?
What operating system do you really have installed?
Did you backup your data before attempting to install? If not, that was very bad judgement on your call, as anything can fail at anytime once you begin an install. -
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. -
I have a 4th gen. Itouch wiht IOS4 and i want to update it, but when i click the update button in ITunes it says "contacting IPod software server" and it looks like it is loading. However, after about 5 seconds it stops and says "ITunes could not connect to the IPod software server". I found the apple webpage that is supposed to help me, but when i went to the LAN settings in the control panel i found that 'Automatically detect settings" was already checked. I do not know what to do, Please help.
If yo mean the iPod will not connect to your wifi network:
Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Do other devices now connect?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have an iphone 4, with ios 4.3.3. I want to update it but when I connect it to itunes it says that it is the latest version of the software. So I cannot update it, and I need it very bad. Can anyone help me?
What version of iTunes do you have installed? If you are trying to update to iOS 6 you need iTunes 10.7 or later.

I updated iPhoto but the app store still shows that red 1, how can I remove it?
I updated iPhoto but the app store still shows that red 1, how can I remove it? I can't right click, i cant do anything to get rid of it.
Nope that's not it, I always use that particular ID, but the @me.com portion of the Apple ID is missing when trying to download from the App Store on the Phone.
It is grayed out inside the App Store app so I can't change it there and I already changed it in the settings.
The entire Apple ID is fine in the Settings so I don't get why the App Store ID is different and missing information. -
me and my sister were using the same apple id but know i'm using a new one and i want to change also the icloud account but i'm afraid if i deleted the icloud account it would be also deleted from her iphone, so can i delete it ?
You can delete it.

I do not believe that your parents will go "spastic" because your iPod was stolen. I'm thinking that you jailbroke it yourself. Am I correct? -
I updated Firefox but now it says it will not work b/c the application may be damaged or incomplete. What can I do. It worked perfectly before I updated the app.
Hello, terrygav.
I would recommend processing a reinstall of Mavericks.

Make sure to backup all of your data prior to reinstalling OS X 10.9.

I have upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and updated Iphoto to latest, however, I still can not access photos sent to me via photo stream. what else do I need to do? I'm $30 into this effort, and no results!
Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. Then log back in and re-enable, respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

I'm trying to use iphoto but when I put my cursor over a photo it has a small flag in the upper left hand corner and a downward arrow in the lower right corner. I've used it lots but it just started doing this. My events pull up just not a single photo.
Try rebuilding your iPhoto Library. Here's a link:
