Iphoto 6 trying to upgrade to ilife 11

I have been using iLife 06 .I recent upgraded to snow leapord and want to upgrade to iLife 11. Do I need to buy iLife 9 and then iLife 11 ?

No - Just back up your iPhoto library and install iPhoto '11 - it will do the upgrade - after installing it verify that you have all of the latest updates prior to launching it (current version is 9.1.2)

Problems in iPhoto since trying to upgrade to ilife 11

I see many posts on this and have tried some solutions - increasingly concerned.
I have a 2009 macbook pro and was happily using iphoto 09 (8.1.2). Then a while back I thought I would upgrade to ilife 11 and during the upgrade struck the problem that access to photos/teasers seems to scarily disappear. I've searched all forums and saw to go back to rhe previous app.This worked and photos still appear to be there in 8.1.2.
But now I have a new imac (arrived yesterday) and hope to be able to work out how to move photos into latest iphoto. I've tried migration assistant which is not working for some reason.
I tried to drag my library from a hard drive (formatted from a mac) into new iphoto app (same issue- no teasers).
I have also copied my library from a hard drive time machine back up into my new system Documents file (I have not found Pictures folder yet..) and run through all the repair options when you open iphoto with Command/options even rebuiliding the database.No luck! It says there are 26,000 item (which is correct - taken over approx 10 years) and after all of this the photos improved a little by showing up for a short while and then disappearing (I have seen this in the forums) or being stretched or blurry! But maybe I am missing some database?
Not sure what to do next except transfer previous iphoto app to new imac and keep going with that or create an old and new library with different apps. All photos and iphoto 09 (8.1.2) are still working on older laptop and I have two time machine backups + back ups of original files by title and file name and am considering a third!
Can I transfer original files and reorganise them into folders etc..? Guess I lose my books etc..
Any suggestions.. ? Can it be the photos have the same filenames (I am not a good filer) and this is causing an issue - I have removed all photos that were not opening in previous app and all videos. I've tried to weed out duplicates. It does seem that those taken on ipad or iphone do show up in new iphoto even if others do not.
I will say - I don't spend much time in the forums so did just expect iLife 11 to magically work.. Makes me want to print books immediately as a back up (could be expensive!)
Anyway - appreciate any assistance. kealld

What are "teasers"?
I tried to drag my library from a hard drive (formatted from a mac) into new iphoto app
Never do that. That will import one Library to another and cause a mess you don't want - a really big mess.
To move an iPhoto LIbrary:
Drag it to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine. Then Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and open it. That's all.

Carbonite backing my iphoto library again after upgrading to ilife 11

I have Carbonite online backup and have my system backed up. Since upgrading to iLife 11, Carbonite wants to back up my system again thinking everything it backup already is new files/data. This want Carbonite support saids,"we have reviewed the log files and found that duplicate files are being backed up. As the iLife program has changed the My photo and video directories. These are being backed up again. We would suggest you make changes to the settings of iLife program, so that Carbonite does not recognize it as a new data. " My question, want setting am I changing so carbonite doesn't duplicate my back up? it wants to upload 137 gig of data (again) it will take for ever! Thank you for any help.

I also have Carbonite. Before upgrading to iPhoto '11, I divided my library into multiple smaller libraries just so my computer didn't seem so taxed. I have Carbonite in case my computer crashes or is stolen. After doing all this maneuvering of libraries and then the upgrade to '11, my Carbonite was going bonkers.... it even sent me an email saying I hadn't backed up in over a week. I don't know why I got that email. But, I think that Carbonite finally caught up somewhat to my moving around of files and then upgrading to iPhoto '11.
I think I prefer the concept of taking an external HD or two (making one or two additional copies of my libraries).... and, maybe telling Carbonite to not back-up those libraries (the ones that I don't actively use right now) until my Carbonite has caught up on my actively used libraries. Then, once it says that you are caught up, you can one by one add those unused libraries back to your "back-up" to catch any additional changes you may make on those libraries in the future. This way, your current changes are for sure being captured on your Carbonite back-up.
I don't know if this makes sense. And, perhaps your usage is different than mine. But, I had over 14,000 photos in my single library. Now, I have 9 libraries with up to 4,500 in a single library. I only actively use one library right now. And, will be making sure that one is on my back-up with Carbonite. Then, once that is done, I will add the other 8 libraries one by one until they are all updated all the while making sure my primary is being captured as well. But, if something does happen between now and then, I have my external HD with copies of my iPhoto library at least until Carbonite is all the way caught up.

IPhoto Library unusable after upgrade to iLife'11

I have recently purchased the iLife'11 Family Upgrade Pack for up to 5 Macs with which my Dad and I have upgraded both of our Snow Leopard capable iMacs.
My iMac was fine when upgraded. Immediately after upgrading I was prompted to use Software Update and then the iMac performed an operation to 'upgrade' my iPhoto Library (or was it the other way around?).
However when I upgraded my Dad's iMac (24", 2.16ghz) the upgrade itself seemed to take ok, but something went awry when the Mac got to the point where it wanted to update the iPhoto Library. During this process it kept reporting that certain files were missing and I was forced to search for them manually. I found these files and the upgrade was eventually completed. I forget now which files they were, however one particular file was repeated a number of times.
Anyway, ever since upgrading the iPhoto Library on my Dad's machine, his iPhoto won't open and he's cussing me flashes.
Any idea what went wrong and how I may fix this?
By the way, I took the usual precautions before upgrading, like running Disk Utility, repairing permissions and so on. I even ran Disk Warrior and got that to fix any potential problems before I did anything.

Downloaded the iPhoto Library Manager that you helpfully provided the link for and asked it to rebuild the library.
This appeared to be going well until we got about 75% of the way when iPhoto Library Manager itself froze. Luckily we were able to identify the Photo that it was working on when it froze so we opened up a copy of iPhoto on our backup drive, found the offending Photo and trashed it before emptying iPhoto's trash.
iPhoto continued to behave a bit sluggishly and other problems were aparent such as the Thumb nails for event not changing as the cursor moved over them. So I trashed iPhoto, re-installed the '09 version, then ran the '11 upgrade again followed by the software update of course.
Toboot iPhoto appears to be working again.
By the way, I found out what those files were I mentioned in my first post. They were .dv file from some movies that I don't think belong where they are anyway. They were made by my digital stills camera so that may have something to do with it.
Thanks for the iPhoto Library Manager tip. It helped a lot.

Unsupported File System Error When Trying To Upgrade iPhoto Library on QNAP

I upgraded to iLife11 from iLife08. My iPhoto Library is stored on a QNAP server and has worked just fine for many years. When iPhoto[9] tries to upgrade the library it gives an error "The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported."
Other iLife11 applications such as iMovie recognize files from the QNAP just fine.
I have tried moving the original iPhoto Library into another folder and then creating a new library on the server but get the same message.
I have upgraded to iPhoto 9.0.1 already.
Any ideas?
Appreciation In Advance.

my NAS backup is going to see the whole disk image as a 'new file' and
I don't think that will be the case if you use a sparse bundle disk image.
+A sparse bundle is essentially the same as a sparse disk image. The difference is that a sparse image is one giant file on your disk and a sparse bundle is lots of small files (8 megabytes each). They work and look the same way, but you can right-click on a sparse bundle, select "show package contents" and see the individual 8 meg sections.+
If the backup software can do incremental backups and work on packages I think it will work on the sparse bundle disk image. Might be worth a try.
Happy New Year

HT1338 My iPhoto keeps freezing during upgrading step 5 of 9. How do I fix this?

My iPhoto is trying to upgrade but keeps freezing at step 5 of 9. Is there a fix for this?

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails:
Restore from your back up, repair the Library and try again

Hi. I have OSX 10.7.5 I'm trying to upgrade iphoto so photostream will sync photos between my devices. My system won't support the latest version of Iphoto. Is it possible to upgrade to iphoto 9.4 (or later)? Thanks.

What version of iPhoto are you trying to update from? You need iPhoto 9.2.2 or later and OS X 10.7.5 to use "My Photo Stream".
Your Macbook, model 7,1, will run Mavericks which is a free upgrade. If you currently have iPhoto 9 then the upgrade to the iPhot0 9.5 from the App Store will be free.
If you currently are running iPhoto 8 (09) then you'll need to purchase a copy of the iLIfe 11 disk from an online retailer and install iPhoto 9. Then, if you've upgraded to Mavericks you can upgrade free to 9.5.
If you keep OS X 10.7.5 you'll still need a copy of the iLIve 11 disk to install iPhoto 9.0 and then update it to iPhoto 9.4.3 thru the updaters available here: Apple - Support - Downloads

IPhoto 2 user...should I upgrade to iLIFE?

Hi! All of the sudden I started having problems with my iPhoto. Suddenly all of my photos disappered from all of my albums. It's bizzare since the files are all still there. I'm in the process of trying to recreate the libraries through a method I read on someone else's posting (hold "option" and "shift" while opening up iPhoto); we'll see if it works. I'm wondering though if I should or can upgrade to iLIFE. I've read various things about it and the features on iPhoto in particular look compelling. What would I need to do to upgrade and is it worth it? did you have to recreate all your albums, etc?

I have iLife 06. I use iPhoto constantly.
You may want to also post the same question / concern in the iPhoto Forum if you haven't yet done so.
Here's my take for what it's worth..... yes, you should upgrade but only when you have the time to do so and certainly not in the middle of a working project. Hold off on the update for a lull in your current workload. I can't overstate the importance of backing up your current work / hard drive prior to updating (especially when dealing with iPhoto and iDvd). Hard drives are relatively cheap compared to the time and effort you place in your work. Good luck and hope the advice is helpful.

I am trying to upgrade iPhoto from a .dmg file ???

I am trying to upgrade iPhoto 9.4.2 to 9.4.3 on a Mac Mini with Mountain Lion. When I run the iPhoto9.4.3Update.dmg file, I get the alert:
The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available.
When I close the alert, it shuts down the update.
Since at our location our only option to get on the internet is via a 3G modem with a data cap of 5 GB per month, we take a laptop into the local library, hop on their wifi, and download dmg files for large upgrades like iPhoto (in this case, 766 MB). This has always worked before - what is different here?
Since we were near the end of our data month and still had a GB left, I then tried the software update route from the Apple menu on the Mac mini. It started downloading the 9.4.3 update which was only 177 MB. 2 hours later it had just finished the download and suddenly continued onto another download (still in the iPhoto upgrade) of a 1.2 GB file. So I aborted. So my 2nd question is what was happening here.
And my 3rd question is what to do next?

Evidently there was more than one update listed for your Mini. Next time launch the App Store app in your Applications folder and log in with the Apple ID used to purchase your Mini. Click on the Updates folder and look for available updates. There you can select one at a time for installation.
Look in the Download folder in your Home folder to see if the 9.4.3 update is there.

What version was the old library made with?
What is the exact message? when it hangs does it crash or do you have to force quit?

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 you can find it in your Purchases List.

Hi-i just installed "lion" and have"ilife09"would like to upgrade to ilife 11 is there a "package that has g/band, iPhoto

hi-i just installed "lion" and have"ilife09"would like to upgrade to ilife 11 is there a "package that has g/band, iPhoto & i movie-all in one as a complete upgrade(and is it cheaper in a "package") or do i have to install each one three separately?

Aarrggghhhh, you in Australia, gotcha!
Merchandise prices are in U$D on all links I posted.
Amazon does shipping globally - see more here for AU shipping rates (in U$D)
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-11/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&q id=1311468383&sr=8-1
You can sign up for an account with them, being the largest online retailer in the world, they take all major credit cards and/or PayPal account as well.
If I were you, Id do some research on Australian online stores for iLife package before going with Amazon, maybe you could find it cheaper there. But given the bad shape the US Dollar has been in, you might also get a better deal with Amazon, because U$D is so dirt cheap these days!
I got my iLife 11 on Amazon. I buy Apple hardware on Apple's refurbished store, parts on OWC, and software on Amazon

HT1577 I am trying to upgrade iPhoto to v9.4.2(4+) and the message says library needs to be upgraded and its just stuck there for 6 hours

I am trying to upgrade iphoto to v9.4.2(4+) and it has frozen trying to upgrade my large photo library

hello, it sounds like the library is damaged.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I want to upgrade to ilife iphoto but the default purchase is to osx lion. Do I need to purchase OS X lion before I can purchase ilife iphoto?

You need to be using Snow Leopard or Lion to run the current version of iPhoto.
