IPhoto can't be updated due to previous purchase.

I have read that you can re-purchase the update by dragging the iPhoto app off the dock and the app, itself, into the trash. Following a restart, you should be able to repurchase the app. I am concerned that this will drag all of my photos into the trash too. Does anyone know if this is the case? I'm fully backed up via time machine but that is only minimally consoling. Any thoughts?
Another thought- if iPhoto '11 was recently purchased on a new MacBook, can iTunes read what I have and allow me to download it on my iMac? It seems like this is the direction they are going with Lion- purchase it once and it is available to all devices.
Thanks

If you have purchased iPhoto by way of the Mac App Store and you are having issues with a MAS update, then yes, drag the app to the Trash and restart. No worry about the Dock alias. This will not effect your iPhoto Library because it is located in Mac HD/Users/ ~/Pictures, not in the app itself.
As for iPhoto that came on a new Mac. That version of iPhoto cannot be updated via the MAS. That can only be updated through Software Update.

Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill ? If it's not then that might be the reason that you are getting the security code error : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

Launch iTunes on your computer. Select iTunes Store in the source list on the left then click Sign In right side of the iTunes window just above QUICK LINKS.
In the Account Information window click See All to the right of Purchase History.

HT4527 I can't find any of my previous purchases. I had to buy a new computer because the old one died, and I also upgraded my iPhone. I don't know why the music I previously purchased isn't stored in my iTunes account...?

I can't find any of my previous purchases after upgrading my computer and iPhone - are they still in my iTunes account somewhere?

What is the exact error message you're receiving?

Unable to update apps on iPad mini. I have even restored the iPad and now I can't download any of my previously purchased apps.

Can someone help me. I am using an iPad mini with iOS 7.0.4 with wifi connection. Have had no problems until recently when I was unable to update apps and then noticed that some apps would open but no data would be available in apps like intelicast and Pinterest. I have restored the iPad and now I am unable to download any of my previously purchased apps.

1. Make sure iPad is using the latest software
2. Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
3. Make sure Time Zone is correct
4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

After I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6.0, I can't not get any of previous purchased apps from 'update' in App Store. After pressed 'Purchases', it went into blank thinking screen for a while then it went back to home screen. Please help!

Please help!

Yes, i'v already signed in apple & the iCloud is on as usual, but it is still not working.
I have no problem to download the new app or redownload the apps I'v purchased before at 'search tab', but I can't get a list of my previous purchased but not installed on my iPhone Apps at the 'Updates/Purchases tab' in App Store. I never had this problem until I updated my iPhone 4S software from iOS 5 to iOS 6.

Can't install updates due to how admin/silent install was built

We finally dabbled with doing a silent/admin install for our Photoshop CS6 rollout. We thought everything worked great until we tried to do the check for updates from the menu, and it gave us a message saying that we couldn't.
I think what happened was when we built the admin/silent install, there was an option about updates. What we wanted to avoid was having the users (who don't have permissions to install the updates) getting prompted that an update was available. What I think we did was somehow made it so updates can't be downloaded/installed at all.
Is there a way to change the update behavior on each machine? Or do we have to uninstall Photoshop, then build a new silent installer package with a different option and reinstall it? I really hope there's a way to just change the setting somehow via the registry or a file.

Have you tried using the Creative Cloud Packager to edit your previous package? I've never tried it myself to see if it will give yoiu access to make changes.
If that option isn't available I believe there is a '.dat' file in the '/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/' folder on Macs that I can delete to re-enable software updates (may be CC only though). I imagine there is a similar file on a PC that could be deleted or temporarily relocated or renamed to achieve the same result.

Hi francescomacina
Sorry for the trouble you rae having ! If the most recent version is not working on your device then try this : First of all On your Homescreen Go to Options > Device > Application Management > Scroll down to App World and delete it from there.
Then perform a Battery Pull Restart like this device POWERED ON remove the Battery wait for a min. then re-insert it back ,wait till your device takes a long reboot.
then from your BlackBerry Browser browse to http://mobileapps.blackberry.com/devicesoftware/entry.do?code=appworld3 to download BlackBerry App World Version 4.0.0.55 .After Install perform another Restart of your device. Hopefully it will work .
Additional Information : KB29422 BlackBerry App World icon is missing after upgrading to BlackBerry App World 4.0.0.63

I have downloaded the updates on my macbook air but when i restart my computer it says can not install updates due to an unexpected error????

i have downloaded the updates for my macbook air and when i restart the computer it says that they can not be installed because and error occured i have tried 3 times

A common hangup for updates is corrupted file permissions.
Using Disk Utility, perform a Repair Disk Permissions on your main drive, then re-attempt the update.

Iphoto Can't Open / Update!

I can't open my iphoto app. Please help! My iphone is full of pictures that i want to transfer to my macbook.

You don't need iPhoto on your iPhone to transfer photos to your Mac. Plug the iPhone into your Mac, launch iPhoto on your Mac and import the photos into the iPhoto Library there.
