IMovie + iPhoto update (OS X version 10.9)

My MacBook (OS X version 10.9) will not update iMovie and iPhoto without payment. My friend's computer updated itself without payment?

What version(s) of these apps do you currently have? Ifyou already have iPhoto 11 then the upgrade is free. On the other hand, if you have an earlier version you need to purchase.

Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First of all, did you buy a second-hand Mac? If you bought a second-hand Mac, it's normal that you can't update those apps because they are registered to the Apple ID of its first owner. The only solution is to buy iLife '11 in a DVD and install the applications again.
If not, those applications may be hidden, so you have to unhide them in order to update these applications > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4928

IMovie/iPhoto updates won't install in Mavericks

Hi all,
Since my upgrade to Mavericks last year, two updates have been pending in my software update screen: iMovie and iPhoto (it currently wants to upgrade to versions 10.0.4 and 9.5.1, respectively). However, I am not allowed to upgrade according to the App Store. The updates have been there forever and they annoy me a little bit because of the "updates are available" notification. I finally decided to do something about it today by posting this question.
When I click the update button of either app, the app store first tells me that "The update is not available with this apple ID". Which makes me wonder why they appear as updates in the first place. It's not like I have two ID's or anything. When I click "ok", a different message appears: "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null)".
I hope someone can help me with this issue. It is good to note that I'm from the Netherlands but I've bought an iLife '11 license in the USA when I was there for a few months in 2011 (I had an early 2008 MacBook at that time; Yes, that old white thing). The versions of the software that I'm currently running are iMovie '11 version 9.0.9 (1795) and iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3 (720.91). Furthermore, I'm on a 2013 MacBook Air 13" bought in September 2013 before the Mavericks upgrade and the great freebee deal (I cried a lot). I upgraded to Mavericks and then the update issue appeared. I can update all the other stuff without any problems.
Any thoughts anyone?
Regards,
CounterDesk

To complete my information: I bought a family license on DVD in the USA. I'm not sure where this DVD is at the moment, it got lost in time I guess. The country associated with my Apple ID is the Netherlands. I can't see either iPhoto or iMovie in the Purchases section of the App Store.
I contacted Apple Support as you guys suggested. They checked my account and couldn't find any purchase information. I'm now being referred to the Apple Care people. I now also realise that I never installed the DVD on this Mac. I just presumed that the purchase transferred through my Apple ID.
One thing that does not make sense to me is that I cannot buy iMovie and/or iPhoto. It only allows me to start the updating process while the actual updating is not allowed a few moments later. That's why I thought that the license transferred in the first place...
I'm a computer scientist and this has been my greatest IT mystery so far

IMovie & iPhoto Updates !!!

iPhoto and iMovie is showing up updates for me. Usually the update button in the iTunes has the price (as text itself in it) but for both of these its just showing as "Update" does it mean, as I have already purchased both the app recently I get the updates free or I will have to pay for the update as well. Even if I have to pay am not sure whats the amount..!!!

I cannot update to New version of iPhoto. Still have older version despite uninstalling application and redownloading it? any suggestions. My current version is the 2012 version, but it is not updating to the new version

I updated to OS X Mavericks. I updated all of the new iLife applications. iPhoto is not updating to new version. I have iPhoto '11.
The icon on the dashboard has the new logo, however when I open the application it hasn't updated. I tried deleting the application and redownloading it. Still stuck with old version

I have exactly the same problem as carson.
iPhoto tells me that I have Version 9.5, and the info-page tells me "iPhoto 11, Version 9.5 (902.7)", and the logo is the new one.
However, the programme is exactly the same as the old version - not just similar, exactly the same! The screenshots on the apple-website show a dark grey, almost black interface, for example (like the new iMovie). However, my version still shows the old light grey.
I deleted the iphoto-app entirely (and was horrified to lose all my photos), but that also didn't work out.

HT2305 I want to upgrade IMovie, IPhoto, Garageband and ITunes. My MacBookAir is one year old. But what are the prices for updates?

My MacBookAir is one year. I want to upgrade IMovie, IPhoto, Garageband and ITues, But What are the prices for these upgrades. How do I get around?

Actually, if you are updating the free iLife apps (iPhoto, iMovie & GarageBand) that came with your new Mac, the updates are free. Only if you are upgrading to newer major paid versions would you be charged.
iTunes is always free, but is located in Apple Downloads, not the Mac App Store;

I updated the latest version of iOS software on my Macbook Pro and now when I try to open up iPhoto it says that I need to update the latest version. But when I go to update, it says the latest version is unavailable to the U.S. I can't access photos

I updated the latest version of iOS software on my Macbook Pro and now when I try to open up iPhoto it says that I need to update the latest version. But when I go to update on iTunes, it says the latest version is unavailable to the U.S. I wouldn't mind leaving it be but I can't access any of my photos. What do I do?

Are you using an iPhone or iPad?

I have tried VERY unsuccessfully to install iphoto 9.2.3 update...it says it has successfully updated - then on opening says: iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Mac OS X.

I have tried VERY unsuccessfully to install the new iphoto 9.2.3 update.
I have installed it several times both from the appstore and from Apple Support downloads...it says it has 'successfully updated' - then on opening iphoto, a dialogue box pops up and says:
iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.

Insane...I have all my updates including Lion 10.7.3 why does APPLE KEEP SENDING BETAS AS A REAL PRODUCT?
Does anyone know how to copy over a backup from a twinned drive Backup? What files etc.
Thanks tons...

Thanks Terence,
I did get it working finally...and your last advice was what I needed.
I am embarassed that I was an early adopter...SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER and read the problems before creating some for myself.
This was an excercise in frustration, because of the obtuse division between the appstore and Apple Support downloads... it was a bit of a circuitous route...strange that with all the security reciepts and tracking that Apple goes to to prevent piracy... which Steve by his own admission used to build Apple...
Why aren't the server scripts smart enough to say…”HEY DUMMY you can't use this download because you purchased the last iPhoto upgrade from the appstore...and… DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME and precious data BUDGET downloading this gargantuan file which will eat 20% of your expensive 5Gb monthly data allotment!!!…and NOT WORK…only pretend to…and then foul your system….kill your productivity and turn your hair whiter…even worse than LION did.
I am just so antagonized by the inept scripts in recent installations that don't do a diagnostic before allowing installation that is going to corrupt things...I had less effort and frustration when I ran my ATARI with a MAC emulator...rarely lost any productivity to nonsense.
I AM TIRED OF BETAs dressed as products...designed and rushed out for Apple toys that once were tools of the creative trade...COREL...may still have a chance at a comeback if Apple keeps pumping out toys instead of the venerable tools we once adored as income enhancers.

Iphoto will not open anymore, and tells me to "Update the latest version" even though I have it.

HELP! I have the latest updated version of OS X Lion, but now my iphoto will not open anymore and keeps telling me to "Update the latest version". SO then i tried to update it again and again, but it just does not work. What do I do?

What version of iPhoto do you actually have?

So, I updated my iPhoto to the new version and lost all the photos inside my events

How can I get all my photos back to my events? After updating iPhoto to its newest version all my events are there, but they are empty. How can I get them back?

The easiest way would be to get the backup library made just before you updated and try again. Other that that give this a try: make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Iphoto can't be opened now after downloading updates. Message says, "Check with developer to make sure Iphoto works with this version of Mac OS x. Wouldn't update Iphoto when my husband was doing updates..

Can someone help me figure out how to get my iphoto open again. It says...Error message: "Iphoto can't be open because of a problem. " Message says, "Check with developer to make sure Iphoto works with this version of Mac OS x. Wouldn't update Iphoto when my husband was doing updates..

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

I can not download the last Iphoto update, and in the actual version 9.4.3 it does not work the sending photos by e-mail.

I can not download the last Iphoto update that I already purchased it by app store, and in the actual version 9.4.3 it does not work the sending photos by e-mail.

Thanks for your replay,
Finally the Iphoto 9.5 was installed...any way ..I had to go to app store to purchase it because the previous version did not updated autimatically... only shoed me that there is a new version ...but it guided me to the app store to purchase it.... and I did it because I did not know that the up date was free...and the sistem did not adviced me about that...
I have the last up date of os x 10.9 already...
in this new version I have no problem to send the photos by e-mail... but in the previous one it allways showed me an error message like ¨I should try later because the server does not work¨ but I tryed with 4 differents e-mail account that worked perfectly in the app Mail.
any way, this new version is ok..
thenks a lot

IMOVIE and IPHOTO update "An Error has occurred in the update"

IMovie and IPhoto update " an error has occured in your update" - What could be the problem?

To the best of my knowledge, RH does not insert any onLoad
events. It looks like the template you have has that onLoad event
(I don't know how it got there) but there is no javascript file
referenced so it errors.
If you do not need that onLoad event, then take it out but
how did it get there? Is this an inherited project? Be careful that
it is not something that should be there and what is wrong is that
there is no javascript file referenced. Talk to one of your
developers, they will understand.
