IPhoto 7.1.3 says I have 27.3 GB

Hi, why do I have 27.3 gb even if I only have 115 pics, (just removed 4,000 + pictures). I emptied the trash from iphoto and the finder, restarted, launched Disk Utilities and restarted the computer. Where are these old files hidding? How can I remove them? Thanks, Cynthia

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
your may want to post this in the iPhoto '08 forum - http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1192 - most of the gurus from there drop by here from time to time but they hang out there the most
I assume that the 115 pictures report is from iPhoto in event view? one way this can happen is deleting photos from albums rather than events which only removes them from the album - not from the disk
Also do you have an iPhoto? I do not but the re have been reports of the iPhoto cache building up a lot of photos and space - quit iPhoto and in the finder go to your pictures folder and right right click (control click on a single button mouse) on the iPhoto library and select the "show package contents" option - you can put this in list view and sort by size or look (do not touch anything) for the iPhone cache - if it is there and large drag it to the desktop and launch iPhoto - if it is fine and happy and your size is correct there delete the iPhone cache from your desktop

Im wanting to update my iphoto but it keeps saying i have to sign into my old apple id account?

That's correct. The Apple ID associated with content from the iTunes Store and Mac App Store content is stored inside the files and can't be changed without deleting that content.

IPhoto recognises camera but says I have no photos to import - help!

What the subject says... I am using iPhoto 8.0.4. I have an HP Photosmart R727. I have always imported my photos exactly the same way - I plug my camera into my Macbook with a USB cable and the photos import automatically. I go to import some photos today and my Macbook is recognising the camera being plugged in but says there are no photos on it. There are 33 photos on it! I've restarted everything, checked for updates to iPhotos, etc. No idea why this is happening, as I say I've not changed any settings. Ideas?
I don't have a card reader, the photos are on the memory in my camera.

You may have a format problem with your memory card - does your camera mount to the desktop so you can look with the finder? Or do you have a USB card reader to mount it?
The free trial version of Media Recover - http://www.mediarecover.com/ - will tell you what it can recover form the card - you will have to purchase it to actually recover the photos
Once you have them safely in iPhoto use your camera's format command to reformat your media card and see if that that cures things for the future

I have a iPhone 5. In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera. I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Help!

I have a iPhone 5. In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera. I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Both iTunes and the phone say that 2.1 gigs are being used, even though the phone now has nothing on it. What is going on?

Yeah it works fine over wifi the problem is when I try to use it over my 3G. It's really stressing me out now.

Trying to open old iPhoto library on osx 10.9.5 with iPhoto 9.5.1. iPhoto says I must upgrade but upgrade eventually hangs. Tried to rebuild/repair database but it always says you have to upgrade database first and eventually hangs

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?

I purchased my iMac using the same (and only) Apple ID I use to purchase apps. Third-party apps update fine, but the apps that came with my iMac (iPhoto, iMovie, etc) bring up a message saying I have to log in with the account I used to purchase them.

I used my only Apple ID to purchase my iMac (Intel-based one). I've never been able to update core apps that came with it. I can update third party apps I've bought (like Coda), but when I try to update Garage Band, iPhoto, iMovie and so on, a popup message appears saying "You have updates available for other accounts" and "Log in with the account you used to purchase this app in order to update it", or similar (see screenshot above).
The OS seems to get its updates fine - it's just the core apps from the App Store.
I've only ever had one Apple ID, so I have no idea what to do. I went to ask the Genius bar at my local Apple store, and they couldn't help, and insisted that I must have purchased the iMac using a different account, but I definitely didn't. There are a few posts on non-Apple forums of this happening to other people, so it must be a rare bug.
I'm a little concerned it may affect my ability to update from Lion to Mountian Lion. Can anyone help?

Have you done a Disk Repair and a Disk Permissions Repair?
If that doesn't resolve the problem I would suggest calling customer support about this issue as it is most likely on their (Apple's) end that the problem exists.

HT1338 is the garageband, iPhoto,iMovie update free, as I have purchase mac book pro last december, I am unable to update it says "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it

is the garageband, iPhoto,iMovie update free, as I have purchase mac book pro last december, I am unable to update it from app store. When I try to do so it says "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it"
I have apple ID but after signing into that account too, it does't allow to update. None of the updates for these application are show in software update of late, but it flashes in the dock where app store is . Kindly suggest.

Should be the account you registered your mac with, and/or the account you used during the setup assistant.

I cannot access my iphoto application on my imac as it says I have made changes in Iphoto using a newer version. We have recently purchased a Macbook Air and this has Lion (as opposed to leopard on the iMac) and we are sharing photos between the 2. I am awaiting the upgrade discs for snow leopard and then to Lion for the iMac but is there a way to access my photos until this arrives?

Iphoto says I have the wrong address and won't let me order the book. What is the problem?

Why doesn't iphoto let me order the book I composed? They say I have the wrong address yet it is my address.

What Print Products Store do you have iPhoto linked to in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane?
Is it the correct one for where you address is?

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

TS2551 I can't go on my iPhoto it says I have to upgrade it. I click on upgrade and then it says required rebuilding! Why all this?

I can't go on my iPhoto anymore. It says, that I have to upgrade it. When I click on upgrade it shows iPhoto is unable to open this library. Requires rebuilding. I can't even download my pictures from my camera. Hopefully somebody can help me! Thank you.

What version of iPhoto?
The general answer is to backup your iPhoto library. depress the option and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild the library from the resulting men

TS2551 When I open iphoto says I have 4500 pics I haven 't downloaded that many. When I looked I have pic of ebay home page facebook a lot of different web sites I've visited How do I stop this and why is this happening.

When I open iphoto says I have 4500 pics I haven 't downloaded that many. When I looked I have pic of ebay home page facebook a lot of different web sites I've visited How do I stop this and why is this happening.

This happens when someone drags the HD or a system folder icon to the iPhoto Window by accident. Solution: restore from back up created before this occurred.

TS1702 I bought IPhoto app and now it's saying I have to repurchase.

What do I do to retrieve my IPhoto app I already purchased it and now it say I have to repurchase?

As long as you are using the same Apple ID that you bought it with you should not have to purchase it again. Sre you signed into the correct ID in Settings>Store?
Did you tap on the Buy button to see what will happen?
