IPhoto '09 automatically updated to '11....

One of my MacBookPro iPhoto '09 automatically updated to '11 at no charge but not my other MacBookPro on the same Apple account. Why?

So after looking more into this update with my MacBookPro's (Mac 1) the one has updated all the iLife '09 apps to iLife '11 without ever purchasing it. I looked at all the apps purchased at the App Store and no I did not purchase any iLife '11 yet it udated to iLife '11. Now my other MacBookPro (Mac 2) has not and will not update to iLife '11 with out wanting me to buy it. Why is this?

If i open pages, numbers, keynote, iMovie, aperture, and iPhoto, they automatically update, even if there is no update

Hi, my name is farrell ivander, i have problems, if i open my keynote, numbers, pages, aperture, iMovie, or iPhoto, and garageband, they automatically get updated, even if there is no updates available from the app store... could somebody tell me what the heck should i do except go off-line when opening them? and i have tested it on my friend's mac, it doesn't need updates every time i open it! why is it just me?
(the only thing that can stop is that if i go offline mode)
macbook pro, 13 inch, late 2011, intel i5 2.4 GHz storage: 500 GB, memory, 4 GB.

What is your MacOS X version and Aperture version?
What are your "System Preferences > App Store" settings? Have you enabled automatic updates?
Do you have older versions of the apps in question installed? Perhaps on a different part ions of you system drive?

My iPhoto app was automatically updated to iLife but my OS is 10.6.8 and you need 10.7 so i can't open my pictures anymore and can't install the new iLife. What can I do??

Can anybody help me with this problem? How on earth can i open my iPhoto'08 app now the system automatically updated it to iLife 11 and to download it you need OS X 10.7 and this is 10.6. I'ts absolutely redicoulous. I've been to the Apple store and they didn't know either. Anybody out there with the same problem?

How do you know your iPhoto version if iPhoto 9 (11)? Use the Finder window in the Applicaition folder to see what version you have:
Also iPhoto 9 in now only available thru the App Store and it would not have let you download and install it if you didn't have the right system version.

Dear community, what to do when iMovie does not automatically updates video from iPhoto. I've closed and reopen, restarted... still no good

Dear community, what to do when iMovie does not automatically updates video from my iPhoto. Usually it will automatically generate new content, but now it's stuck 3 days behind the latest new iPhoto entries... I've restarted all programs, restarted the computer... what else?

Ezy,
I'm not sure what recourse you really have. My expectation would be that Apple is on the hook to warranty your computer, but they only warrant the machine you've got.
The issue of exchange is fully in the hands of the dealer. If it were Apple, they would likely have had a longer return/exchange period (2 weeks is standard in the US, and I think they use the same timeframe internationally), and there have been some reports of people getting machines exchanged even if they were just outside the 2-week period.
However, with Apple dealers, I think they are a little more concerned about old inventory. Who knows what Apple does when you give them back a last-gen Macbook. They probably sell it at a markdown, but even marked down, they still get a profit (most likely). When an authorized reseller gets stuck with an old machine, they probably have to sell it at a loss. Thus, I would expect resellers to be more afraid of holding onto discontinued models.
That said, if they do a lot of business, they should appreciate the value of customer loyalty: it's usually better to lose money on one purchase than lose a customer (and all their future purchases). If you're a regular customer there, you could point out that disappointment could cause you to go to a competitor. That's playing a bit of hardball though.
However, there is maybe an upshot to all of this... The new 13" model did not get the quad-core CPU's.. And it lost its dedicated graphics adapter. I've seen a decent number of people complaining that the new 13" model is worse than the previous one (the one I'm assuming you've gotten). So it might not be such a bad thing after all.

Can I interrupt an automatic update to iPhoto? If so, how? And how can I stop automatic updates? This current update has been running for over 4 hours now. I have a MacBook Pro w/OSX 10.9.1

Can I interrupt an automatic update to iPhoto? Also, how can I turn OFF automatic updates?

as Larry said, just a caution about the App Store Preferences:
If you do not want your software to update automatically, disable "Install app updates". But better not disable the option "Install system data files and security updates". If there are security updates available, it is important to get them installed asap.

IPhoto doesn't update to modified pics after force quit

iPhoto didn't respond to my 'quit' command, so I chose to +force quit+ it. Before I did so, iPhoto had a problem connecting to Facebook, which seemed to cause iPhoto not being able to quit (this happened to me several times recently, and I always had to end up force quitting iPhoto). Every time I clicked on an album under FACEBOOK on the left column of the iPhoto application window, an error message came up saying +"Facebook authentication with server failed. Please check your login and password information."+ I thought perhaps stopping iPhoto from syncing with Facebook would help, so I +removed my Facebook account from iPhoto+, in an attempt to set up the connection again where I would re-enter my login and password information.
However, after this, when I clicked on a photo and then clicked the Facebook botton on the bottom right corner, then clicked *Set Up* in the message box to +set up iPhoto to publish to Facebook+, the Facebook login box never completed loading (it was all white and plank besides the loading bar on the bottom which never exceeded loading more than about 12%). I waited for more than half an hour and the loading didn't process any longer, so I closed the box. I tried this for several times in the next few hours and the same loading problem came up each time.
In the mean while, the Faces under LIBRARY in iPhoto had an +updating circle+ next to it which seemed never able to end the search. So I did some search over the Internet to find solutions to the problem, and came across with this: _http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2444899_.
The problems now were that 1) iPhoto could not load me to the Facebook login page for me to re-enter my Facebook information for iPhoto; and 2) iPhoto could not quit.
Because the solution posed on the above link has a first step of "quit iPhoto", so I force quitted iPhoto and followed the 1) to 6) processes stated in that thread (i.e.: removed ~/Library/Caches/, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.LSSharedFileList.plist, and ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist to trash; deleted iphoto.apple.com inside Keychain Access; restarted computer; and launched iPhoto again).
This time I could come to the Facebook login page on iPhoto, and quit iPhoto for no problem. However, I now find that some of the pictures I edited within iPhoto before force quitting do not show the modified versions when I open them, even though the +modified versions+ are shown in thumbnails and they can be located in +iPhoto library+ (~/iPhoto Library/Modified/year*/album name/picture name*). The other weird thing is - the problem does not occur to all photos I edited before force quitting (e.g. for two photos I edited one after another, one has the problem and the other does not).
I did some search over the Internet before posting this message, and found one to be a possible solution to my problem: _http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2771968&tstart=15_
Nevertheless, I'm a bit resistent to downloading +iPhoto Library Manager+ in thinking of the down sides of doing so, if there are any. What would be the best way to solve my current problem? How could I get iPhoto to recognize and link to the modified photos instead of the original files? By the way, I did not have this problem before force quitting iPhoto.
Thank you in advance for all your inputs!

i'd like to keep all modified files because it took me quite some work to edit the pictures
Then recover them from the damaged Library and import them to the new one. That said, remember they will be treated as "new" photos, not as edited versions of the others. There is no way to recreate that link.
1) Would it be bad for me to keep working with my old iPhoto library?
This library is corrupted. It is known to be damaged. The chances of dataloss are greatly increased. You will have more problems. Personally, I wouldn't.
2) How to *back up*? And I assume it should be conducted regularly?
*Most Simple Back Up:*
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
*Slightly more complex:*
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
*I'm Serious about Back Ups.* +And you should be too.+
My Library lives on my iMac. It’s Backed up to two external hard disks every day. These disks are permanently attached to the iMac. These back ups run automatically. One is done by Time Machine, one is a bootable back up done by SuperDuper
It’s also backed up to a portable hard disk when ever new photos are added. This hard disk lives in my car. For security, this disk is password protected.
I have a second off-site back up at a relative’s house across town. That’s updated every 3 or 4 months.
My Photos are backed up online. There are many options: Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug etc. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you may need to pay.
Every couple of months I test the back ups to make sure they are working correctly. It’s very easy to mis-configure a back up application, and the only way to protect against that is to do a trial restore.
3) Should I un-do the removal of ~/Library/Caches/, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.LSSharedFileList.plist, and ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist, as well as the delete of iphoto.apple.com inside Keychain Access?
No.

ITunes, Remote.app v2: Does v2 still work in iOS7 or will I be automatically updated to version 3? (Plus v3 and iTunes issues)

Remote.app (version 2): Does it still work in iOS7 or will I be automatically updated to version 3?
That is basically the main question I've come to ask (with some side commentary in parenthesis below).
After trying out iTunes Remote App version 3, I saw that it scrambles playlists (such as Recently Purchased), which makes my playlists worthless. For example, using Remote.app, it's no longer possible to simply play the songs you bought over the last week at the iTunes Store using the Recenlhy Purchased Playlist. Since I buy a lot of music through the iTunes Store, I naturally want to listen to what I just paid for, just as I could using Remote.app version 2.
But it's not just the Recenly Purchased playlist, it's all my playlists. Through the last decade, day in and day out, I've carefully orgnized hundreds of playlists that I've very crafted, song by song like old mix tape casettes.
They payoff for this work has been enormous. Since starting with mp2 in 1995, then mp3 and continuing through to the thousands of dollars I've spent purchasing songs through the iTunes Store and tens of thousands on iPods, iPhones, iPads, and computers—I've been able to make music match whatever mood or music was juuust right for the moment, making for great moments and memories with friends and families. For some artists, I always want to hear their latest songs first or I want to to hear top rates songs first. Other lists are about creating a particular mood for just about any occasion. I can even shift the mood in the room with the right music list. It's really been fantastic the memories and moments I've been able to set the tone with the right song, and most of this has been not the song itself, but the flow of music I've created by orgnizing music lists. That's a lot of work I've invested. So the order of the songs matters a lot to me, especially the very first song that starts that list. That's the song I want to hear first, not somewhere in the middle.
As of Remote.app version 3, these carefully crafted songlists are scrambled, making the App worthless. When I first noticed this I couldn't believe it, must be a bug. Nope, no bug, by design I found out. It's like when Lucy pulls the football away. It's mean spirited to take back features you've sold and promoted and people have grown to rely on in the workflow of their lives. So I downgraded back to Remote.app version 2.
((Actually, they're not really technically scrambled, they're actually presented in alphabertical order, which I think is really the same thing to me. Think about it: listening to an artists work alphabetically by title is really the most random and completely scrambled way to listen to their music. Or if you don't want to listen to them alphabetically, you can have them shuffled. Those are now the only two choices. Either way, the lists are jumbled, and like iTunes 11, several of the most powerful features have been taken away. In this case the exact thing that's missing is that the iTunes Remote no longer reflects the sort order of iTunes playlists.
I don't know if this is a quiet, update-by-update shift away from our playlists and towards iTunes Radio or not, but I would think so. Why else would you make it less powerful. To quote Merlin Mann Apple tends to "fire a warning shot" feature wise before taking something away. The Finder has gotten less and less powerful in finding files and folders by their name and size through the last decade.
I'm now noticing the same thing with iTunes, it's becoming more difficult to find the currently playing song. In iTunes 10, Go to Current Song would open the folder containing the list of the currently playing song, highlight and move that list to the top of the left column and then highlight that song. In iTunes 11, Go to Current Song will only highlight the folder that contains that song and nothing more. At that point you're on your own to hunt town the currently playing song. This feature has been broken—on purpose I suspect.))
SO—I don't want to be forced into Remote.app version 3 and have my playlists scrambled on my iPhone and iPad. Is there anyone who knows the answer from first hand experience?
If customer loyalty is as important to Apple as it should be taking away features in iTunes and Remote app will only drive old customers away.
Thanks!!

I like that I would be able to maintain my iPhoto library data for Faces and Places in Aperture, but am concerned that when the iPhoto library is "upgraded" for Aperture, and I decide I don't really need that program, the upgraded library won't work with iPhoto anymore.
The iPhoto library isn't changed in any way by Aperture. Aperture will import the Library and you can choose to copy the files to the Aperture Library or reference them within iPhoto. As long as you don't delete files from the iPhoto Library via Aperture (which you could do if you choose to Reference) there is no impact on iPhoto
Will I still be able to use iPhoto to access and organize my library, or will it be forever converted for use with Aperture?
They are completely different libraries.
Recently, iPhoto bugs make Events show up multiple times in iTunes when syncing for iPhone and iPad.
Fixed in the 9.1.3 update.
Will I find a better user experience with Aperture, or does it also use the single file library and suffer the same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing lately?
Like iphoto, Aperture can use the "single file library" or it can use a Referenced Library (just like iphoto can). Note that using a Referenced Library offers not a whit more in terms of features or capabilities. It's file storage plain and simple. Nothing more.
No you won't see the "same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing..." because Aperture is an entirely different allication.
But you my see Aperture or Lightroom struggles

When ever i click a picture in photo booth it does not automatically update its content is this a bug or i don't know how to do it?

when ever i click a picture in photo booth it does not automatically update its content is this a bug or i don't know how to do it?
whenever you click a picture in photobooth you have to manually insert it one by one in iphoto
i want to know is there any other option in iphoto which can do this type of thing(adding pictures automatically to iphoto )
so that i do not have to do it manually

Once you take the photo with Photo Booth, select the photo in the tray at the bottom and click on the iPhoto button just abouve and to the left:
Click to view full size
That will import the photo into iPhoto automatically. But PB does not import any and all photo taken into iPhoto automatically. That choice is left to the user.

IPhoto Albums not updating in iWeb

Am I missing something?
Have a couple of Smart Albums in iPhoto which I had no problem incorporating into iWeb. But as I add to my iPhoto Library, and more photos end up in these Smart Albums, they are not automatically incorporated into my iWeb page.
I don't expect it to happen magically, but if I have iPhoto running, and I have iWeb running, at the very least I figured that if I clicked on the album page in iWeb it would remember the link it has with iPhoto and be able to calculate that there are additional photos to include. But no, nothing.
Currently I either have to manually go through and figure out which photos were added... slow for me. Or just remove the album from iWeb and add it again... slow for the server as it has to reload a large number of photos unnecessarily.
Surely iPhoto and iWeb are integrated better than that?
Advise appreciated.

The smart albums do not automatically update iWeb photo pages/albums. To add more photos to an existing iWeb album or photo page you'll need to drag the photos onto the iWeb page to join the existing photos there like in this video screenshot.
In other words, the iWeb page it has to be manually updated.

Why is the automatic updater greyed out?

Not only is the automatic updater in IPhoto greyed out, I can also not manually download and install the update. I am asked to download from the app store which does not recognise that IPhoto is installed and asks me to pay for a new copy.... any ideas why????

Where did you purchase the version of iPhoto you have? Have you looked in teh App store under purchases?

Automatic update purge?

I have been refusing to allow some updates in automatic update for some time... every time it try's to update iphoto and iweb via the following
"This update to iPhoto contains new calendar, greeting card, and postcard themes for use with Apple print services, including a variety of holiday card designs. It also addresses compatibility for accessing Aperture 1.5 content in iPhoto."
I do not use aperture and ive been trying to avoid adding this 100mb's to my computer every time automatic updates loads.. is there anyway to permanantly refuse these updates, or is there a way i can downloaded them, then delete them, and all previous unneeded updates
its becoming to me as annoying as desktop cleanup wizard, accept i have to open this, tell it no, and close it every time

Old automatic software updates are not stored on the HD anymore. All there is a Receipt which is necessary in order to inform the systems that the update has been installed.
Only manually downloaded updates are saved, for obvious reasons. They are usually in the download directory.
I don't know what goes on with automatic downloads when the box "Download automatic updates automatically" is checked. I presume that after they are installed, the downloaded file is automatically trashed.

I automatically updated to Firefox 4.0.1 for Mac, and now the program misbehaves. It hangs when I try to quit. Can I downgrade to 4.0?

I was running 4.0 on my Intel Mac (Leopard 10.5.8), and everything was fine. Firefox automatically updated me to 4.0.1. Then I noticed my computer running very slowly. I am unable to quite Firefox without forcing a quit.
Can I reinstall 4.0? If so, where can I download the original version?
Thanks.

Your users agent is stuck at Firefox 3.0.11 due to a extension during when you had 3.0.11 and it tacked on stuff on end and kept it from updating the version number. This was due to the "Fast Browser Search toolbar" extension (FBSMTWB). This issue is not a problem with Firefox 4.0 and newer.

In Pages 5, how to get date to automatically update upon opening a template?

I'm using Pages 5.2. In prior versions of Appleworks and Pages I was able to construct and save a template in which the date would automatically update to the current date when the template was opened. I have tried "Insert Date" and I can click on that to update to current date, but I don't always remember to do that and therefore, some of my documents are dated several months prior.
Can't seem to find how to do it under Pages 5.2 Anyone have help or a work around?

I have the same problem.
What confuses me is that all the apple provided templates in pages seem to auto update their time and date upon opening.
So there MUST be a way to do it... although I've been unable to work out how...
