"In order to open iPhoto, you need to update to the latest version."
Hi Guys,
My computer was running really slow, so I decided to reload the operating system. I'm running 10.7.4 on a MacBook Air that was purchased almost 12 months ago. Instead of restoring from Time Machine I just copied my Documents, Music, and Photos to an external HD, then erased the internal HD, reloaded Lion, and ran all the updates. I re-installed iLife '11, ran software update again so it would update those apps as well. I copied the old iphoto library into my "Pictures" folder, then went to open iPhoto and the following came up.
In order to open iPhoto, you need to update to the latest version.
Please run Software Update to install it now.
So I run Software Update, and it says everything is up to date. Go back to iPhoto, same thing. Shut down and restart, same thing. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

PS, did the same thing with my music folder and iTunes, and everything there is working seamlessly.
For future reference of anyone else that runs into this with a new iLife 2011 installation on Lion. The installation off the iLife 2011 DVD results in a iPhoto installation that won't open (saying it needs to be updated) and the OS X software update that doesn't see iPhoto 2011 as needing updating.
The solution appears to be to download the manual update to iPhoto 11 (v9.1) located here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1322
Then check the OS X software update, now it should so iPhoto in need of updating to v9.3 or so and iPhoto should open after that update is applied.
A very annoying bug that should be caught by Lion's OS X software update in the first place..

I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always. -
I updated to the yosemite system. My iPhoto says I need to update to the latest version for it to work with yosemite. The app store searches and then states the version I need is not available in the US. Currently I cannot use iPhoto. Suggestions?
Csound1,
Thanks for the hint about not emptying the trash. I will try to work on this tonight or tomorrow morning and let you know if "this helped me".
Russell,
If you go into the iLife support forum for iPhoto, there are a couple good threads. Basically, iPhoto can't be downloaded by anyone anywhere in the world unless the app store has it listed in your "purchases" list. The threads contain a lot of steps and it looks like this could be difficult for novices like me.
Rysz,
I will also look at the link you provided before I get started. Thanks. -
I've been trying to get a book sample and a dialogue box comes up saying: To receive book samples, you need a device with the latest versions of iOS and ibooks installed and Automatic Download enabled. I have iBooks installed and automatic download enabled. I don't know if it's talking about a new version of iOS on my iphone or my laptop. You people sure like to make things difficult.
trevbeats,
I had the same problem. It turned out the issue for me was that I had Automatic downloads turned off on my devices!
see below how to turn it on.
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores on your device.
Tap Sign In if you're not already signed in to the iTunes Store.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Tap On/Off switch to enable or disable Automatic Downloads for each content type. -
I need to update to the latest version of Snow Leapord-currently running v10.6. Because of where we live the slow download speed for such a large file has kept me from downloading the update. What can I do short of hooking up computer elsewhere?
Do you ever visit a friend or realtive with a Mac who has faster internet? Maybe the local library has Macs on a fast line. If so, get a USB thumb drive and put this link on it from your computer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Then put this link on the drive:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1429
When you are at some place that has a Mac with a decent download speed. insert the thumb drive in that Mac and click on the first link ("DL1399") and direct the download to your thumb drive. Now do the same this with the second link.
The installer files will now be on the thumb drive and, when you get home, drag them from the thumb drive to your desktop. Install the Combo update first. -
i need to update to the latest version of itunes, but need to download some images and video first.....it is telling me that this will all be erased if i update, but it is not letting me do anything else.....what can i do??
You have no choice but to restore the phone.
However, I'm sure you've been smart enough to have backed up your data before starting the most significant update in iOS history,right? -

my firefox info shows that I am using 10.0.2 but I keep getting a repeated message when I open it saying I'm not using the most recent version.
Even tho the mac coupon printer says firefox supports this install it doesn't allow me to print it.Hi cleopt,
You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. That page is no longer being maintained by Google.
You should try changing your home page to:
about:home
If you don't know how to change the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
Hopefully this helps -
need your help guys...thanks and more power
You have to have 11.1 to run iOS7. WHen my 11.1 download failed, I tried to update my iPad anyway, which triggered a dialogue to download iTUnes, which did work. Then I could download and install iOS7.
Unfortunately the release of iOS7 and iTunes 11.1 on the same day created a 'perfect storm' of just too much demand and too little bandwidth. -

Updated to Firefox 21 and when I open the firefox browser it ask me to update to the latest version
I finally updated to Firefox 21 and today when I opened the Firefox browser, my google homepage looks odd and a large message from Firefox appears saying I need to update to the latest version of Firefox. I double checked the version and I have version 21.
I also don't know if this has anything to do with my current problem. A pop up window is suddenly appearing just after I turn on my PC, at first I thought it was triggered by Firefox. It's a security warning saying the certificate from GEOtrust SSL CA isn't a trusted certification authority for javadl-esd-secure.oracle certificate. I just find it odd that this message just started a few days ago and now after updating Firefox to the latest version, it's still telling me to update. ThanksHello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Thank you. -
How do you update to the latest version of iOS?
I am trying to download a new ringtone and it says I need to update to the latest version of iOS before I can download a song. How do I do that?
First, update iTunes on your computer to the latest version. Then connect your iPhone to the same computer. On the Summary page for the iPhone that opens in iTunes, click on Check For Update (or install the update, if iTunes already says you have an upgrade.

You can also download it as a free iBook. -
I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...
iPhoto is Apple's included program to manage your photo's and pictures.
It receives updates over time with Software updates and new machine or iLife purchases.
When iPhoto gets updated or a newer version is used, it may alter iPhoto support files, but newer iPhoto versions usually always compatible with older files which it then updates.
If you used a newer iPhoto on your iPhoto support files, then they got altered to the newer format, older iPhoto versions can't read the older format.
Somewhere along the line you somehow got a older version of iPhoto on your computer, you need to fine the newer version of iPhoto (not this photo manager, sounds like another program)
Or somewhere along the line you used a newer iPhoto version (like on another Mac) and it altered the iPhoto support files on your older version of iPhoto.
So the key here is to find the newest version of iPhoto and use that to access your iPhoto support files.
If you didn't access your iPhoto support files from another Mac, then you should have the newer iPhoto version on your computer.
Once you find it, and get it in the Dock, you should remove the older iPhoto version from your computer to prevent this from happening again.
Lastly, if the newer version of iPhoto is somehow gone off your computer, you should be able to get a copy off the latest OS X install disk or iLife using a free program called Pacifist.

Then you need to check for updates for iPhoto in the program itself, the current version is 9.1.2 -
Opening iphoto I get an error message that says "you can't open your current photo library using this version of iphoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto." I wouldn't have a clue as to how to change to a new version of iphoto even if I wanted to.
If you don't have a backup you can resort to give this a try:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

I keep getting this message. What do I do? You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
