IPhoto 6.0.6 update refuses to run

I have iPhoto 6.0.5 installed. When I open it, it displays a message saying that a new version is available. When I accept to Open Software Update, software updates reports that there are no new versions available. I manually downloaded the update then from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/iphoto606.html but when I run the package, it says "You cannot install iPhoto Update 6.0.6 on this volume. An eligible iPhoto application was not found in the locaiton /Applications/iPhoto.app." even though iPhoto is in that folder! I have used iPhoto under a different folder called "Applications/iLife/" for a while but it has been moved to /Applications... Has anyone seen this issue before?
iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 20in

This is ridiculous but it turns out that, when I learned that I should have the iLife applications in the /Applications folder, I dragged all of them from /Applications/iLife but, for some reason, iPhoto was not moved - what I had in /Applications was an alias to iPhoto! Now that iPhoto.app is really there, everything worked fine. Thanks everyone who tried to help me.

Macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

I only have 1 apple ID and the same was used to set up this early 2011 macbook pro and iPhoto app. I don't want to loose out on any photos. I tried logging out of app store and back in but no luck. PLEEAASEE HELPP!!!

This problem has been reported by quite a few forum members, who skipped the update to iPhoto 9.5.1 while running Mavericks. In that case try to purchase iPhoto again instead of updating.
After making your backup try the following:
Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the applications folder, but do not empty the Trash.
Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your AppleID.
Open the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support, as Niel pointed out: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

IPhoto albums no longer updating in iTunes

When I have the iPhone plugged into the Mac, and I go to the photos tab, I have selected to have the photos sync from iPhoto. This was working normally for a while but ever since I created an album and then deleted it, the albums under the photo section in iTunes no longer update. The folder I deleted is still there with 0 photos in it, but it is not in iPhoto.
As a result, any new albums I create and any new photos are not syncing to the iPhone. Nothing changes in iTunes anymore.
Things I have tried:
Updating to latest iTunes
Deleting iPod Photo Cache
Rebuilding iPhoto Database
Attaching a different iPhone
Deleting all iTunes application data and preferences
Deleting all iPhoto application data and preferences
Creating a new iPhoto Library and importing the old one, creating a couple of new folders and testing, this leads to iTunes saying there are two default folders with no photos
Deleting iTunes and iPhoto caches
Please help! I've run out of things I can think of that should work!

okay, so i just restarted my computer & the desktop changed.
i usually only sleep the computer & so the desktop doesn't change. even when i did shutdown/restart computer in the past, the desktop did not change. i think somehow this is all connected. it seems if i don't have whatever photo my desktop is saved on the desktop, it will change it back into some generic photo...should i just make an appointment at an apple store? i don't have iPhoto 08 & there have been no updates...

IPhoto 09 Freeze While Updating Library.....Everytime

I recently bought a Macbook Pro 15" 2.4GHz and installed iLife 09. On my previous computer (Powerbook 12" 1GHz) I was running iPhoto 2.0.1. I had copied that entire HD to an external drive. I plugged in the external drive to my new Powerbook and copied the User>Pictures>iPhoto Library Folder to appropriate location on the new HD. When starting up iPhoto 09, I got the message that it needed to update the library. Every attempt I made resulted in iPhoto freezing with the "Updating photo library...Time remaining" message. It often froze with the same amount of time remaining. I have tried several remedies: I deleted the com.apple.iphoto.plist from the preferences folder. I also tried to use BatChmod after following instructions in another forum, but that didn't seem to help. I also downloaded iPhoto Library Manager and used its rebuild function. This appeared to work and all the pictures are present (minus about thirty, but I think they were duplicates), but all 7,000+ got imported with the same date (DEC 31 2000) and were randomly arranged into about a dozen Events. Also, none of the Albums were transported. I don't have time to individually rearrange all the photos and rebuild all the albums. I would be happy solving either one of the problems. Thanks.

Thanks for responding Larry. I tried that, but unfortunately it did not work.
Based on what I read in some other threads, I tried forcing iPhoto to rebuild the library by holding command-option while starting iPhoto, but that did the exact same thing. I ended up downloading iPhoto Library Manager and using that to rebuild the library, which worked. There was one photo that could not be copied over (corrupted file or something), so that's probably what was making iPhoto hang. Luckily my mom had a backup on a CD.

Iphoto disappeared when I updated to OS X Yosemite - help!

iphoto disappeared after I updated to Yosemite. When I spotlight search it, I'm alerted my version is incompatible with Yosemite, and need to update. When I go to update, I'm told this version isn't available yet in my country (USA). The app and all my non-backed up photos are gone... how do I recover this?

1. First make a back up:
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.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
2. Download the App:
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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
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.

Flash Player refuses to run, if outdated. Can I change this setting?

I work in a video production environment -- tonight we ran into a problem where a couple of live monitoring systems were not working because Flash refused to run; presumably, because it's out of date.   In this case, the systems are "Deep Frozen" (locked down, essentially).
While I think I understand the underlying reasoning for this, it's highly disruptive.    Is there a way we can change Flash Player so it doesn't refuse to run if it's outdated?
These systems are on OSX Yosemite. It's possible it's not just a Flash Player setting, but a browser setting -- still trying to track this down.
Tips, pointers would be appreciated!
Thank you.

Yeah, that makes sense. Faronics is really into buzzwords. It was hard to cut through the marketing-speak to figure out what they were actually doing.
The plug-in blocking technology on Mac is called xprotect. You can disable it, which might make sense in your use-case, but it's typically a really bad idea for the average end-user.
sudo mkdir /System/Library/Launchdaemons/Disabled
sudo mv /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.xprotectupdater.plist /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/Disabled/com.apple.xprotectupdater.plist
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Delete:JavaWebComponentVersionMinimum" /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta.plist
I'm guessing that these files are mutable on the system and not part of the persistent snapshot, or I imagine that the blocking would have went away after a reboot. I'm thinking that you can probably disable these and update the relevant snapshots to ensure that you're not picking up new xprotect blacklists in the field.
If you're just hitting the same set of consistent local IPs for your monitoring backend, it might make more sense to preconfigure them in Safari as always allowed vs. wholesale disabling xprotect.
Hopefully that's helpful.

Photoshop Elements now refuses to run

Photoshop Elements 4.0 now refuses to run on my Intel Macbook (10.4.10). It used to work flawlessly. One day, it just refused to open. The loading screen would come up, then it would crash and say "Photoshop Elements has unexpectedly quit." Nothing changed on my computer between the last time I used and when it started to crash. No new software, no updates etc. I have tried doing these things to fix the problem:
-Rebooting
-Deleting the Photoshop Elements .plist file
-Using a different user account on my computer
-Repairing permissions on my hard drive
-Uninstalling Photoshop Elements and reinstalling it
All of which have failed to work. Nothing I have done has been able to work.

Thanks, Barbara.
In no particular order, while the images are from the same camera, I get the same problem with images from other sources scanned in with my Epson 4490 scanner.
I run diskwarrior from time to time, but not on a regular basis. Is it not a good utility to use?
I am sure I deleted the twain driver, certainly from the import/export file you mentioned. There is no other mention when I use 'Find'.
There a lot of caches. I have deleted the Opera cache.

IPhoto 4.0.3 update

Hi,
The automatic upgrade of iPhoto released recently went wrong on my iBook G4 (10.3.9). The software update utility runs apparently OK (download, expand, install) but at the end of the procedure it checks again for updates and finds again the same iPhoto upgrade.
When I try to launch iPhoto I can see the "generic applications" logo and iPhoto won't launch. If I try to run it from the command line as follows /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/MacOS/iPhoto
I get this message
2007-06-17 10:40:17.174 iPhoto[1094] Unable to load nib file: MainMenu, exiting
I have read in some forums that I should re-install iPhoto, but I don't know where the software is. Actually, iLife04 came installed with my iBook and I only have 2 Mac OS X install discs (1&2) and the "Additional Software" disc. I have found GarageBand and iDVD there, but I have no idea of where iPhoto can be.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Garjola

Hi, Garjola, and welcome to Apple Discussions. The iPhoto 4.0.3 update was actually released in August 2004, not recently. Is that the one you're referring to?
If iLife '04 came preinstalled on your Mac, it can also be reinstalled from the discs that came with the Mac — but you can't reinstall iPhoto alone; you'll have to reinstall the whole iLife bundle.

Anyone provide accurate info on why after 1 yr, after guarantee period expiry the DVD player on our I mac running Intel core duo processor with OS 10.6.8 refuses to run DVDs? CDs run

Can anyone provide accurate info on why after 1 yr, ( just after guarantee period expiry) the DVD player on our I mac running Intel core duo processor with OS 10.6.8 refuses to run DVDs?
CDs run without problem and until recently the DVD we have (all original no pirated copies) ran; we have used a CD cleaner disc to no avail.

Welcome to the Apple boards:
I suggest an erase and install and use your backup for any important files you have.
Did you perform a disk check/repair and permissions repair and a PRAM zap before updating? While not required, they are usually necessary to avoid issues.
There are so many reasons for a bad install, that it is impossible to list them all.
Out-of-date software, drivers, etc, haxies, and other software can cause problems.
My three updates were without incident, so it is possible for a perfect update, but unless you supply us with details about your previous system, programs, apps, drivers, etc., it is not possible to figure out what happened.
Again, whenever installing an update to an OS, a clone or other full backup is absolutely necessary, as reading the posts on this board indicate.

IPhoto 6.0.6 update won't let me burn DVDs correctly

I was backing up my photos to DVD today via iPhoto. I burned one disc before I did the 10.4.9 update and it worked fine. After I downloaded and installed the 10.4.9 & iPhoto updates I go to burn a disc and it says the Burn Failed. So, I put in the disc again. Mac OS X saw it was a blank DVD so I tried again. Still! - it won't burn!
So I try another blank DVD, and then another - each time the disc is inserted it's seen as a blank DVD. I don't understand it. It's the same brand I used before the 10.4.9 update & iPhoto and now suddenly Im having problems.
I'm guessing one of the updates (or both of them) changed something. Because now I can't backup my photos to a DVD. I tried repairing permissions and even restarting my iMac. Is anybody else having the same problem?
I am running Mac OS X 10.4.9 and iPhoto version: 6.0.6 (322)
Here are screenshots of the different errors I get, first the one, then the other.

Any help would be wonderful, I just need to burn the last disc to complete my iPhoto backup.

Ok big update. I burned another album using iPhoto and it worked fine. Seems that this problem is not isolated to burning discs, it's isolated to copying these files all together. Something is fishy and I have no idea what's wrong.
I attempted to copy all of the 4,000 (from the album I wanted to burn originally) or so photos to my external Hard Drive. It was about to copy them when I get an error message saying "IM000914_1.JPG" is busy. That's it - it doesn't give me any options, but "OK" I click OK and the process stops. So I remove the file in question. I go to copy the photos again, bam! Another problem with a different file name. I can't understand what's going on. So at this point I re-built the Library and Thumbnail caches again. I try it again - same problem.
The similarities between the files are interesting. All were taken around 2004 and were transfered from my old iBook a while ago. They usually have a filter or were modified from the original. And all of the file names end with an underscore and a number, for example "_1.jpg" or "_2.jpg". There are no other programs that are using these file so this puzzles me why they would be in use.
If I try and copy the individual file that's "busy" it will copy fine. But if I select it as a group and try and copy, it gives me an error message and fails to copy. I wish there was a way to locate which out of the 4,000 + files are bad, but the album I have is mixed with photos from 2004 to 2005. It would be impossible to locate all of them by hand. I'm thinking maybe if I can somehow copy the files from the select album via FireWire Target disk mode maybe the files wouldn't be "In use" - but I can't think of a way to select all of the photos in the album out of iPhoto.
I'm confused and frustrated with this one, any help would be great.
The exact error message reads "The selected items cannot all be put into the same location, because at least one of them named "<filename>" is busy. [OK]
Thanks again!

Cannot open apps iPhoto and Aperture after updates

Cannot open apps iPhoto and Aperture after updates. I'm operating ML on mbpro. Now apps will not open. Simply that.

Not simple, if as ML implies you are running Mountain Lion! If you only mean Lion, then it would be useful for you to open another User Account, and as that User test to see if either app will launch?

HT5037 I now can't open iPhoto! have just updated it, downloaded everything they asked for and still can't open it!

I now can't open iPhoto! have just updated it, downloaded everything they asked for and still can't open it!

To be able to help, we will need more details.
What is your current iPhoto version, Anthony? And your MacOS X version? And what was the iPhoto version you upgraded from?
What happens, when you try to open your iPhoto library?
have just updated it, downloaded everything they asked for and still can't open it!
You say, you downloaded everything - did you download the Library upgrader? And did you install and run it? Was there any error message?
If your iPhoto library has been upgraded ny the upgrader, you should be able to upgrade it to your current iPhoto version by double clicking it to launch iPhoto on it. Have you tried that? What happens when you try?
One problem to check for - iPhoto may be unable to open your iPhoto library, if it is not on a dsk formatted MacOS X Extended (Journaled). Check the formatting of the drive with your iPhoto library.

"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!
- Jared
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..

IPhoto 9.0 Not Updating (Fix Available)

Hi, if you have recently reinstalled or updated Lion to 10.7.4, and you have come across the 'iPhoto needs you to update, in order to run' message when trying iPhoto. And, if you have followed the prompts only to be faced with no software to download...
The solution is to manually update to iPhoto 9.1 and then to run the updater again. Version 9.3 will be offered and everything should be back to normal thereafter.
Link to standalone update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1322
Good luck.

I'm having the same issue but this fix unfortunately didn't work for me.
When I tried to install the 9.1 update, it tells me that "iPhoto Update can't be installed on this disk. iPhoto 9.0 or later is required to install this update". This makes no sense because I have iPhoto 9.2.3.
So I downloaded the latest version manually (9.3.2) and tried to install that. The error I get: "iPhoto 9.1 or later is required to install this update".
Extremely frustrating. So neither manual package will allow me tp update. But when I start iPhoto, it tells me the latest version is ready to be installed, go to Software Update.
The rest of iLife seems to be fine. Software Update found an update to iMovie today and upgraded without an issue.
Any other suggestions?
