IPhoto and Mavericks help??

I just upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leapard and also upgraded to iPhoto 9.5.1. I installed the Library upgrader as suggested in the dialogue box when i tried to open iPhoto, but every time i try and open iPhoto I keep getting that same message. Admittedly I am not super savvy at this bussiness... Help?

If your previous iPhoto version was 7 or earlier you need to RUN the upgrader application on the library before iPhoto 9.5.1 can open it. Go to the Applications/Utilities folder, launch the upgrader, select your library and let it do it's thing. Then launch iPhoto and try again.

Iphoto and mavericks installation error?

I had iphoto and then my mac was wiped and had mavericks installed after "software errors" were detected. Now I don't have iphoto and the ap store says it will cost 15.99 to download...? I thought iphoto was standard with mac?

The OS installer doesn't include iWork or iLife applications. When you disk was erased, it removed iPhoto. Do you have a backup you can restore from?

We have iPhoto and Mavericks - Cannot play video and get error (OSStatus error -54). Have run permissions and rebuilt iphoto database.. This is most valuable 3 minute movie file I have... Help

Has anyone a clue how I can save myself from losing most valuable video clip I have ever taken.? Have a fully up to date Macbbok pro retina and most recent iPhoto. Had 55,000 pictures and a few videos in iTunes database. Just a few months ago also installed iCloud. Now find my London Big Ben Fireworks shot of fireworks at midnight coming from clock just returns -54 error when I click it to play. Did a rebuild and permissions attempt at fixing without success. The front picture of start of video shows at start of pictures but only error box now pops up.
I had a time machine backup that goes back some months and a old computer it may have been on but have not found it yet.
I do not want to risk losing anything. We are just finishing cruise of England and Med on our small boat-home and do not want to lose photos of our memories. Thought they were safe since in iTunes and backed up to TIME machine, and now learn they cannot be pulled out separately... Can anyone help us?
Thanks. I am grateful for any help or ideas while we float out the winter here in England before trying to sail back to America next year.
Happy Holidays.

I could not find the original file.
I did find a file folder named MASTERS.
I did click down in it to where all the other original files seem to be listed in order.
They are listed in files showing (name); (date modified); (date created); (size); (kind); and (date added)
There is a symbol showing each file type, with one file type for photos and a separate symbol showing the movies before each file.
All of them that are showing properly are listed in order with their name sequentially, ie:
DSCN4738.JPG
DSCN4739.JPG
DSCN4740.JPG
DSCN4742.MOV
DSCN4743.MOV
DSCN4744.MOV
My valuable movie that now won't play is shown in iPhoto viewing page listing labeled DSCN4741.MOV
I think I find it later...
OUT OF SEQUENCE APPROXIMATELY 14 files later I show the file that is shown on the listing info when viewing now named
New Years Eve Fireworks.MOV 1/1/12 Jan 1, 2012, 12:58 AM 258.1MB QuickTime file Feb 21, 2013, 3:46 PM
NOTE: The creation time is exactly where it should be in sequence but camera taken with was off an hour
Also, all files in list show the Feb 21, 2013 date - which is date Apple Store migrated my old computers files, which would have included my iPhoto library from my old MACBOOK PRO to the new one.
I do now remember that in past I had played some of the files from the computer by clicking on them directly in the early hours of the morning - showing some of them to a friend - while messing around demoing this MacBk Pro Retina...
Though I do not have a clear recall of it recall earlier having a hard time finding this file. I am now certain - based on the circumstantial evidence - I must have changed the name from DSCN4741.MOV to the name shown at the first line of the listing two paragraphs up.
Now my quandary is how do I escape this mess I made for myself and restore it. I clearly am -- despite being 68 -- being more of a "script kiddie" than a "hacker", but not a competent one of either!
Thanks for your help in analyzing this Terence, and hope you can help me fix my screwing it up. Ed

BIG PROBLEMS WITH IPHOTO AFTER MAVERICKS DOWNLOAD

Hi! I´ve read all about iPhoto and mavericks problem on diferent questions and answers around Communities and done every one of the suggestions and still can't fix it, I´vd already erased iPhoto (hoping my photos are alive, if not im dead!!!) so that I buy anew the app but I can't it just simply says "accept" but can't buy it. What can I do plis help believe me I tried EVERYTHING. FYI, my iPhoto came with my Mac Book Pro since new. Pleeeeeaaaaseeee help me I really need to recover my photos and work on the app. Thank you very much

I have the same problem since I "upgraded" to OS X Maverics. I can't open iPhoto, because it says my version is old (version 9.2.1.). When I try to download the update, it tells me my iPhoto was purchased with a differed Apple ID (it already came with my MacBook Pro bought last year!!) and need to update under the same Apple ID (?). This is very frustrating!!

Installed Maverick and now iPhoto wont open, help

I've just installed Maverick from using Snow Leopard and now iPhoto won't open and the message"You can’t open the application “iPhoto” because it is not supported on this type of Mac." appears. Since I have hundreds of photos in iPhoto and iPhoto was supported on this mac previously how can I access them?

Since my last post I found some instructions courtesy of Old Toad. They might work for you.
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library if the photos are missing.
Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

I updated my OS to mavericks and cannot open iPhoto. Please help

As the title says i can no longer access my iPhoto on mavericks. How do i restore or can i even save the photos. This is horrible. didnt think i would loose iPhoto.
Thanks,
Mike

You need to backup your iPhoto library and go to the App store and update to version 9.5.x (a free update for iphoto '11 owners)
if you have iPhoto '11 have you updated to version 9.5.x?

HT201364 I upgraded my MacBook Pro with Lion (but with iphoto 9.2.1) to Maverick and now I can't open iphoto and I can't update either

I upgraded my MacBook Pro with Lion (but with iphoto 9.2.1) to Maverick and now I can't open iphoto and I can't update either - can anyone help please?

Download the iPhoto upgrade from the App Store. It should be free.
iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.

I need help updating iphoto after Mavericks

So I downloaded Mavericks, and lost iphoto ... nothing in this world comes easy, right? I've called and emailed support at Apple, and got nothing but a stock response "Sign into your account, go to the app store, and update your apps!" Yeah, NO KIDDING. That was the first thing I did...and when I do, I get the following error message:
"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've tried this while signed in with the only two apple IDs I know of, and got the same message. As per my iTunes Store/Mac App Store Advisor Julie Ann's request, I replied to her email telling her it didn't work, and now I am awaiting further instruction...it's been 5 days.
The only info I've been able to get out of customer service at Apple is that I will likely have to buy the updated iphoto ... At this point, I am over the injustice that I have to pay for this app again, I just want access to my files. I will buy the stupid thing if they really make me. In fact, I've already tried, but I can't figure out how! When I go to the app store, the only option presented is to "update." I've thought about uninstalling iphoto and buying it again, but I don't want to risk losing the existing files on my comp. I know my pictures are still there because the files is rather large.
Anyway, can anyone offer a real solution to this problem? I guess I can trek to the nearest Apple store, but that requires me to take a ride into the city and wait in line ... ain't nobody got time for that! PLEASE HELP I NEED MY FILES.

I don't remember exactly what it had on it (snow leopard?) when I got it 5 years ago. Last year I had the hardrive serviced and installed the lastest (at the time) OSX...I believe it was Mountain Lion. After that I guess I must have accepted the iLife apps, since I've been using them with no problem. The only app I have trouble with after the Mavericks upgrade is iphoto.
Why would I do this without backup? I don't know, I like to live on the edge? That's not really the point now, is it? Truth is, everything I need is backed up, except this one file that I happen to need, that I put in iphoto the day before the upgrade. The only reason I was interested in this stupid upgrade is because I was trying to buy Numbers, and it wouldn't let me without the latest OS. Honestly, I find it to be completely useless and wish I never did it.
Point is, why am I having this issue with iphoto exclusively? Can you offer any advice?

IPhoto and iMovie gone after Mavericks upgrade

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mavericks and lost ALL of my applications. I finally have most everything back in order, but iPhoto and iMovie are gone and now the App Store says I need to purchase them.
Why should I have to purchase them when I already own them from the purchase of my MacBook Pro? Getting a free Mavericks upgrade should not cause me to have to spend $30 to get the applications back that I already owned in the first place.
Please help me restore those two applications.
Thanks,
Greg

so please read my responce
2 - to get them back you reinstall from the original source - which may be the restore disk that came with your computer, a purchased iLife upgrade or the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up
Maybe it is clearer using bullet points rather that standard English puncuation
To get them back you reinstall from the original source
which may be
1 - The restore disk that came with your computer,
2 - a purchased iLife upgrade or
3 - the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up - in this case you go to the App store under purchases
Only you know what the original source is
As as to who should pay for yoru mistake -- obviously if your mistake creates a cost then you should pay the cost you created - pretty simple stuff
As to Time Machine - yes they should be there but it is better to reinstall them - copying from a backup dose not work well for applications

. I have version 10.6.8 at the moment... how do I update this?
As Terence Devlin said, the upgrade to Mavericks is free at the AppStore. Open the first tab at the AppStore (Featured) and you can buy it for free, if your Mac can be upgraded to Mavericks.
But before you do that, check the applications you need to use for compatibility with Mavericks, for example at Roaring Apps: http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a
PowerPC applications can no longer run on Mavericks, some device drivers may not be available as Mavericks compatible versions.
To prepare for the update take these precautions:
Make a full backup of your mac, including the applications libraries. In addition to the TimeMachine backup a bootable clone is very useful, since it enables you to revert easily to the old system.
Update all applications to there latest version, thatare available on Snowleopard.
If you find, that the Mavericks upgrade would make too many applications redundant, consider Terence Devlin's second option to buy the boxed iLife version.

After upgrading to Mavericks I cannot update iPhoto and iMovie. Why?

Just got my first Mac, an iMac. I upgraded to Maverick and once done I find there are updates available for iPhoto and iMovie. First I have tried to register "accept" the two apps. Nothing happens. Then I try to update them and get the answer that these apps was installed with another Apple ID. The thing is that I don't have any other Apple ID and noone else has touched my iMac. I have tried to reinstall Maverick three times now but end up with the same result. Anyone who has any clue or have experienced the same problem?

Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Password tab.
Make sure you see the correct Apple ID.
If not, click Change.
Make sure you are logged into your admin account before updating apps.
Reinstalling Mavericks requires using OS X Recovery but there's no reason to reinstall Mavericks just to update your apps.

When I open up iphoto and click on the events tab then double click on an event, it used to show minis of all the photos in that event. Now it shows only one photo at a time. How do I get it back? Can you help?

On the bottom bar of the window (on the left iPhoto 11, on the right in other versions) note the slider. Drag it left.

I to use iphoto library manager to save corrupted iphoto and each time it saves some and the first time it brings up iphoto, iphone goes into "not responding" mode. Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2.

I've had issues with my iPhoto "not responding" and as a result I am attempting to save my photos to an external hard drive using iPhoto library Manager but each time I start the program it saves some, and then when it starts iPhoto, iPhoto then goes into not responding mode. Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2. I have completed all of the photo library first aid steps several times, but it makes no difference, iphoto eventually goes to "not responding." Initial issues started with Time Machine back ups stopping because of iphoto. Thanks......

Do you have a back up?
If you're just trying to recover the photos you can do that much more simply:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Originals' or 'Masters'. (varies according to the version of iPhoto)
Your photos are inside - these are the originals as imported from your camera.

After updating to Mavericks, I have been unable to update iphoto, and when I attempt to, it says that These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list.

But no other appleID has ever been used on my computer, how could this be resolved?

Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.
