IPhoto 9.4.3 no longer available in the App Store?

My wife has an older MacBook running 10.7.5. It is still running great, but it is too old to update to 10.9 Mavericks. I would like to buy the newest possible version of iPhoto that will run on 10.7.5. I believe this is iPhoto 9.4.3. But the only iPhoto available in the App Store is 9.5, which requires Mavericks.
I can purchase an old version of iLife '11 on Amazon for $40, (http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-VERSION/dp/B003XKRZES), but I am concerned about purchasing an old product through a third-party reseller. Plus I don't need iMovie or GarageBand and would rather pay $14.99 for iPhoto alone.
Additionally, I have a newer MacBook Pro also running 10.7.5 and iLife '11 (iPhoto 9.4.3). My plan is to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
I want to store my iPhoto library on an external hard drive so that both my wife and I can access it. I will connect the external drive to my MacBook Pro when I want to add photos or do editing. My wife will connect it to her MacBook when she wants to add photos or do editing. So even though I can upgrade my MacBook Pro to 10.9 and 9.5, I am holding off for now. I am not sure if an iPhoto 9.5 library is compatible with iPhoto 9.4.3? So to be safe, I want both machines running 9.4.3.
Question #1 - What is the best way to get iPhoto 9.4.3 on a MacBook that cannot run Mavericks 10.9 or iPhoto 9.5?
Question #2 - Is an iPhoto 9.5 library backward compatible for a machine running 9.4.3?

Yes, iPhoto 9.4.3 will work with Mavericks. As a precaution I keep a copy of iPhoto in another folder so that it won't get overwritten by accident.  The only official thing I can show you is this from my computer showing those apps that work and those that don't:
This is a screenshot of all of my test libraries which work with Mavericks:
The only version of iPhoto that doesn't work with Mavericks is iPhoto 9.3.2 (probably all 9.3 versions).  Why, that's a mystery. I have test libraries for all of the versions above.  iPhoto 8 and earlier do take a while to load their libraries as there's some old MobileMe stuff in them that slows them down.

  • Lion is no longer available from the App Store, but I haven't gotten it yet.

    I purchased Lion from the App Store on October 27th, but then realized I could not download it yet due to bandwidth restrictions at school (though I did download it once, but the file corrupted and I went over the bandwidth limit, causing my Internet to be shut off).  So I'm finally home for Thanksgiving, and went to download again to install it this time.  However, the download is no longer available.  It doesn't show up as purchased, and when I tried to log in and download it, it wanted to charge me another $30.
    Is there any way that I can redownload this again without paying again?
    Thanks in advance,
    John Walsh

    Alright.  I resolved the problem.  In case anyone else has this issue, my copy of Lion got moved to 'hidden purchases'.  Unhiding it fixed the problem.

  • How do I restore an app that is no longer available in the app store

    I did a couple of really stupid things like trying to install ios8 without doing a complete backup anywhere (really stupid I know)  and relying on one program to keep my passwords in without backing it up somewhere. The whole upgrade to ios8 through iTunes went badly and I had to do a restore. I was able to retrieve pics and such from my pc but that's it. I've gone to the App Store and downloaded some of the apps I'd purchased over the years, but the password program I used wasn't there. The other apps I downloaded restored things like webpages I had been looking at before the restore as well as progress in games, so it must be able to retrieve some info from the iPads memory.  It's the loss of that password program that's really driving me nuts as I didn't have the info elsewhere. I bought it a few years back but it's not in the App Store anymore. It was called Safe, the icon was gray with a dial like the front of a safe. I'm hoping that there is some way of restoring this app and, like the other apps I've downloaded again, the information will still be there.
    has anyone had any experience with this or that could point me in the right direction? It really isn't backed up elsewhere on my pic or the iCloud.

    If the app is no longer in the store then you won't be able to redownload it, and if you haven't got a copy of it anywhere (you don't have another iOS device which has it on ?), and if you haven't got a backup of the iPad on your computer's iTunes (if you haven't got a backup then you won't have the app's content), then you won't be able to get it and your passwords back.

  • Is there a way to recover a deleted app that was backed up on the iCloud but is no longer available on the App Store?

    I had downloaded this app before it was removed from the App store but I accidentally deleted it off my phone. It says it's back up with iCloud but I don't know how to get it back onto my phone. Is that even possible?

    Not unless it is in your iTunes library.  If so, you can sync it back to your phone.  If not, you can't get it back.
    This is why you want to always transfer your purchases to iTunes by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Or, turn on Automatic Downloads in iTunes by going to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Mac) or Edit>Preferences>Devices (PC).

  • Is it safe to delete iTunes media that is no longer available in the iTunes Store?

    There is a support document that states it is OK to delete content locally so long as the content is available in the cloud depending on your geographic location.  As I'm in the US all media types are available.  From the document:
    You can delete items that you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store from your iOS device, Mac, or PC. Because Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) plays content from the cloud, you don't need to delete items from your Apple TV.
    Before you delete an item, make sure you can download it again. If you can't or need to pay to download it again, back up the item before you delete it.
    What I am still not clear on is if it is also safe to delete content that is no longer available in the iTunes store?  Will it still be available for previous purchases?
    I prefer the quality and off-line availability of iTunes media over Google Play but I've had issues recovering deleted media in iTunes in the past and so have less anxiety about the security of my purchases on Google Play versus iTunes.  Can someone confirm if items no longer available for sale in iTunes are or are not still available via the cloud?

    Thanks for the reply although I'm not too happy to hear it.  What's awesome about the cloud is no longer having to keep up with any physical media.  The promise of that is realized with everything else (my work, music, books) besides movies and TV.
    I wonder how Google Play will handle movies/tv that becomes unavailable?  Google Play does allow you to download media in some circumstances (on Android and iOS) but is generally intended  for streaming.  Maybe relying on a physical copy as I do with iTunes should make me more comfortable with it and not less. 
    I will come back to mark your reply as the solution as it becomes clear there is not a contrary position.  Thank you.

  • Why is the Black Swan no longer available in the US store?

    Why is the movie the Black Swan no longer available in the US store and does any know when it will again be available for purchase / rent?

    Hi...
    This being a user to user forum, not Apple, we have no way of knowing Apple's policy regarding the availablity of movies sold or rented from the iTunes Store.
    However, you can start a wish list.
    In iTunes, click iTunes Store (below Store).
    Find the song, video, or album you want to add.
    Click the arrow to the right of the Buy button for the item you want to add:
    From the menu that appears, choose “Add to Wish List:”

  • Hi, when i bought my MB Air there were some updates available on the app store on iPhoto, garageband and iMovie and i wonder if these updates cost anything?

    Hi, when i bought my MB Air there were some updates available on the app store on iPhoto, garageband and iMovie and i wonder if these updates cost anything?

    Application Updates from the update icon currently cost nothing. Anything on the App Store that costs money will have a button to buy in Blue with the price in the button.

  • Why is the Fios mobile app not available in the App Store?

    Why is the Fios mobile app not available in the App Store?

    Sorry to say but they have. And even advertised it on their home page as recently as today. You can view about 70 different channels on your iPhone or iPad. Anyone else out there who knows the answer?

  • Does anybody know if/when the new Sim City will be available in the App Store?

    There are just other users here. No one here has any idea and guessing is against the Terms of Use for this forum. That is a question for the developer.

  • Will Mozilla fire fox be available in the App Store any time soon ?

    Will the app Mozilla fire fox be available in the App Store so we can open flash player required pages ?

    No one here can say really, only Mozzilla themselves if and when they give in to Apple's requirements, or Apple gives in to their demand of using their web engine rather than Apple's.  
    With that said, the Flash problem is not the browser its the lack of a Mobile version of Flash for iOS. Even with FF you would not be able to open flash sites.
    There are however other browsers with varying support for Flash processing that you can use to open flash content.
    Look for Puffin, Skyfire, Photon etc...
    Most of these process the requested flash content at their servers and feed it back to the device in a format that the iPad can understand, which slows performance a bit.

  • How to push apps which are not available in the App Store?

    Hi :-)
    I've got one question: I would like to push apps via profile manager to different devices, which are not available in the App Store, so I can not buy them via VPP.
    Example: TeamViewer for OS X.

    You can't. Use something like Apple Remote Desktop.

  • Disappointed with maps, will google maps be available in the App Store?

    I was really looking forward to the new maps but am very disappointed. Don't get me wrong the 3D maps are great, but so far in the UK I can only find London with this function.
    But this isn't my gripe. It's the view in standard mode, none of the road types have different colours so navigation is much more difficult. On google maps the motorways are blue, major A roads green and so on. All the roads are the same colour on apple maps so motorways look the same as a roads etc. Is this likely to change?
    If not will google maps be available in the App Store any time soon? Or is there a free/cheap map app that is as good as google maps? I can use google maps in safari but its nowhere near as intuitive :-(
    I know the OS is only new, but they've been making a song and dance about this maps and I find it a big disappointing. I don't even like the colour scheme, oceans and rivers etc are shocking blue.

    If you go to google.com and view maps on the full site then there is a pop-up that asks if you would like to add the mobile app version to your home screen. This puts the google maps app on your phone. It is web based and at least on my phone is slow to load up but the resolution is what you were used to before the update.

  • HT3159 When I double click on IPhoto to open and look at my photos the APP store trys to open it. I never had this issue before. Why now?

    I was using IPhoto looking at creating a Book when I uploaded the book for purchasing the site froze. I stopped the upload turned off computer and when I restarted the computer IPhoto dissappeared. I called Apple and the lady talked me through restoring IPhoto. She found it in the trash.It worked fine for a day or two, I uploaded more photos from Nikon camera closed IPhoto and now it won't open. The App Store trys to open it but it times out and won't connect.
    When I double click on IPhoto to open and look at my photos the APP store trys to open it. I never had this issue before. What  do I do?

    Try dragging a photo to the desk top, highlight it and press COMMAND I this will open the info window, in the drop down menu "open with" select either preview, or other, then select iPhoto. Preview is the default.
    Then click "Change All"
    Hope this helps
