IPhoto compatibility in Mavericks upgrade

After installing the new Mavericks OS (v 10.9.1) my prior iPhoto application (v 9.2.3) is now barred from use. How do I best reinstate iPhoto and all its prior photo libraries?

Yes >Software Update.
You will find the new iPhoto in your Application Folder. Launch it from there. Drag the icon to the Dock.

IPhoto update after mavericks upgrade

I recently upgraded os to mavericks on my MBA (2011). After the upgrade, I cannot use iPhoto unless I install the necessary update that the system requires. The problem is, the Apple account that I had once used several months ago appears on the Apple ID field as "canceled" account with the blank password field. The Apple ID field was disabled, so I couldn't even try it with my most recent Apple ID. I went ahead and filled the password field, and the message says "the account has been disabled."
I had a similar problem after changing my apple ID, but it was eventually fixed after trying a few solutions suggested on the internet and several software updates. I am stuck now after the mavericks upgrade.
Do I need to erase and re-install iPhoto? If so, will I need to purchase the app? And, will all my saved pictures on this computer be erased? I wanted to back up pic files, but I wasn't able to locate them (it seems like the pics are saved as a bundle within the iphoto app..)
Please help! Thanks..

I would first contact App store support (link is on the right of the App store window) and see if they can help - if they can not then you probably will need to remove and repurchae the App
Backing up the iPhoto library simply involved making a copy of it - it does not involve opening it or doing anything with the internal parts of it - just a copy
And if you are not doing a regular backup (like Time Machine running all of the time doing hourly backups for example) then you are 100% guarenteed to lose yoru photos (and other files) sooner or later - bad things happen

Photos Missing from iPhoto with Maverick Upgrade

I have recently upgraded to the Maverick OS and noticed that all my photos are now missing from iPhoto however I can see them under Preview when I use the Finder application. Also, when I open iPhoto it prompts me to enter personalized settings as if I am using it for the first time (ie: Face recognition, etc.) How can I get my photos back into iPhoto? I am worried I may lose them.

Have you upgraded iPhoto after your Mavericks upgrade?
Be aware after updating iPhoto save your iPhoto Library before you open it in the new version of iPhoto Library. If you don't and you have other Macs running eariler versions of iPhoto, they won't be able to open the Library.

IPhoto 9.1.5 won't update because of different user, after Mavericks upgrade.

After my Mavericks upgrade half a year ago I can't update iPhoto. I've tried everything from removing the _MASReceipt and nothing works. First it says "This update is not available for this Apple ID..." and then "There was an error in the App store. Please try again later".
As far as I remember iPhoto was installed when I got the computer, so I don't understand.
Several times I've tried to solve this but always given up after trying for a very long time and nothing works.
Any solutions?

As far as I remember iPhoto was installed when I got the computer, so I don't understand.
You need to log into the Apple ID that was used to set up the computer to update the software than came on the computer

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 just upgraded my OS X 10.6.4 to Mavericks and now my iPhoto '09 needs an upgrade. Will I lose all my photos if I do the upgrade?

I upgraded my two Macbook Pro's yesterday to Mavericks, from OS X 10.6.4. I can't seem to open iPhoto on ONE of them. I believe it's the same on both computers, iPhoto '09. So I went in the App store and clicked upgrade my iPhoto. Now it says the library needs to be upgraded to work with this newer version of iPhoto. Help! Am I going to lose all my photos?

I believe it's the same on both computers, iPhoto '09.
Check the iPhoto versions. The version number should be shown below in the "General" section of the Info panel, when you select iPhoto in the Finder and use "File > Get Info". With Mavericks you should be using iPhoto 9.5.1. You can buy the upgrade from the App Store.
Will I lose all my photos if I do the upgrade?
No, but never do an upgrade without making a backup of your computer, just in case something is wrong.
Your photos are in your iPhoto library. After installing the upgraded version, the iPhoto Library will be upgraded to a new format, when you open it the first time in iPhoto.
If you want to use your iPhoto Library on both your computers, the iPhoto version should be the same.

Iphoto 9.5.1 crashes with mavericks upgrade

I have a few questions reference the latest Mavericks upgrade.
Why does Iphot 9.5.1 crash with the Mavericks upgrade?
Why doesn't it regognise my Toshiba external hard drive anymore?
Why doesnt it recognise My Passport for the backups anymore?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)

Problem updating to iphoto 9.6 after upgrading to Yoesmite I am getting the following message when I try top date iPhoto This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canc

problem updating to iphoto 9.6 after upgrading to Yoesmite I am getting the following message when I try top date iPhoto This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canc

"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." ?
This error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacOS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 and associating iPhoto to your AppleID.
Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID instead of updating. Delete iPhoto from Applications, but don't empty the Trash, then go to the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto. If you are lucky, it will show as free and you can buy it directly.
If iPhoto is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support: Ask for a redemption code. You will need to provide a prove of purchase for your mac with iPhoto preinstalled.

IPhoto asks for an upgrade of Aperture and otherwise won't open

After upgrade to Maverick, iPhoto asks for an upgrade of Aperture (which I don't have and never had), and otherwise won't open. If I click "ok", the Applications store opens and asks me to BUY Aperture (69,99 EUR).
There must be a bug in iPhoto 11 after the upgrade to Maverick..?

I can only guess at a couple of solutions:
#1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
#2
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

Lost all my photos in a guest account after Mavericks upgrade!! Retrievable?

Did the mavericks upgrade last night and I remember having to logout on the guest account and a window popped up that said I would lose all files if I logged out ..
I did not realize that meant all photos in Iphoto...
It was to be a long upgrade so I went to bed ..
This am ,I logged in my admin. acct and everything seemed to be in place including photos..
I logged in to the guest account and opened iphoto and was shocked to see there were no albums or photos there..
I did NOT do a back-up prior to the upgrade ,,,my BAD!!
Is it possible to recover the photos????
If so,could it be explained in total layman's terminology..
Thanks in advance for reading and hopefully helping>>

As you have discovered, the guest account doesn't save files, which is how it is designed to work. To make the library accessible from the guest account, you can move the library to the hard drive level User/Shared folder (see next post), which will make it accessible by all accounts. You will then need to tell iPhoto where to look for the library.
From iPhoto help.
Move your iPhoto library to a new location
You can move your entire iPhoto library to a different computer, a hard disk, or another location on your computer.
Important: Before you move your iPhoto library, it’s a good idea to back it up to a DVD or external hard disk.
Hide
Move your iPhoto library
If you’ve created multiple photo libraries, be sure to move only the library currently displayed when iPhoto is open. To move a different library, you first need to switch to it.
Quit iPhoto.
In the Finder, choose your home folder (it’s usually named after you).
Open the Pictures folder (in the home folder) to locate the iPhoto Library file.
Drag the iPhoto Library file to a new location on your computer.
Open iPhoto.
In the window that appears, select the library you want, and then click Choose.

IMovie Issue after Mavericks upgrade

I upgraded my iMac 2009 to Mavericks today. I updated all the user accounts for format changes to Mail, iPhoto and iMovie. What a pain. I don't recall this being an issue before (I was running Lion) but iMovie now only lets one user run iMovie at a time. A dialog pops up stating "You can't open the application "iMove.app" because someone else is using it. Ask the other user to quit the application, and then try again." Was this always like this? It's kind of funny to have an app that behaves like this. Does anyone know what wrong? Operator or System error? Thanks.

Update Saturday Jan 4, 2014
Before my Mavericks upgrade on my Mac Pro, no problems ever (use my Mac 4-8 hours a day) using my Bose Companion 5 USB connected speakers. I've tried shutting the Mac down and plugging the Bose USB cable into another open USB port = no joy and other combinations. I tested the same Bose Companion 5 USB speakers on two other laptops with NO issues (ouch...they were running Windows 7) I have deleted the two .plist files, did the CMD+OPT+P+R reset, etc... = no change. Looked into Midi Audio Setup and did not see anything in there to change even though I tried a couple of things and no avail (there was no Garageband setting/entry).
I still get a solid "BEEEEEEEEP" sound every 20+ seconds, when the sounds tries to toggle, by itself, between the Bose USB Audio device and the Internal Speakers.

Unable to open iPhoto after installing Mavericks and latested iPhoto Version.

I have just installed Mavericks onto my Macbook Pro. The next thing I did was purchase, download and install the most recent version of iPhoto. The previous version of iPhoto was '09 Vers. 8.1.2.
I have about 300gb’s of images in my iPhoto library, which are on an external HD. When I try to launch iPhoto, I get a message saying the iPhoto library must be upgraded. So, I click on ‘upgrade’,and either a white screen with a large icon of a folder appears, but nothing else happens. One other time, before I clicked on upgrade, a gray screen with a scrolling gear appeared, but once again… nothing happens. I still can not access any of the images in my iPhoto library.
How do I get the new iPhoto version to play nice with my images?

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

IPhoto inaccessible since Maverick.

Hi everyone,
I know that this topic has been covered so many times. And believe me I tried all of the suggested methods of fixing iPhoto.
Now, I upgraded my '12 MBP w/ retina to OS Maverick the day it was available. And since then my iPhoto won't open - or rather, it crashes after being frozen for 2 minutes after my click to open it. It says ''iPhoto quit unexpectedly''.
I backed up my library and tried methods such as rebuilding library, reinstalling/upgrading iphoto, but the problem seems to persist. And as you can imagine it is frustrating not to be able to access your photos. I genuinely regret upgrading to Maverick. I procrastinated for month already and decided now to get rid of this problem once and for all.
I beg you to guide me to fix my iPhoto.
Regards

What version of iPhoto do you have. The current version is 9.5.1.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

IMac won't sleep after Mavericks upgrade

After installing the Mavericks upgrade, I notice that my late 2012 iMac computer does not enter sleep mode, while my monitor does. The Energy saver settings are the same as before the upgrade (computer and monitor sleep after 10 minutes, i.e., system default settings). Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks for any comments.
LB

This is always due to a process keeping the system awake, but determining which is the challenge.
A first simple step is to create a new, temporary user account. Log out of yours and log into the temporary one. Determine if it sleeps then. If it does then you have a login item that is preventing sleep. System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items.
Whenever you suspect a problem related to power, including sleep, an SMC reset is also recommended.
Active Spotlight indexing will prevent sleep. Wait for it to complete. Allow a considerable amount of time following an OS X upgrade.
Check your Sharing preferences for anything that could permit an active network connection.
Energy Saver "Wake for network access" can prevent sleep, but unchecking it will prevent the ability to remotely access a sleeping Mac over a network. A normally functioning Mac will sleep according to Energy Saver, but will wake periodically for network access, after which it will return to sleep according to the settings in Energy Saver.
Unfinished print jobs will prevent sleep. If a print job is queued, but if the printer is off or the connection to it is lost, the Mac will stay awake forever waiting for the printer to return.
Safari pages that periodically refresh themselves are very common. This will prevent sleep.
Frequently checking for new mail may prevent sleep. Change Mail's preferences to check for new mail less frequently.
iTunes and iPhoto sharing will prevent sleep.
Active Bluetooth devices will prevent sleep.
Active USB devices will prevent sleep.
Using Time Machine over a network can prevent sleep.
There are plenty of third party utilities designed to prevent sleep. One may not have been completely uninstalled.
Quit the process with the name powerd in Activity Monitor. It will re-launch on its own.
Any number of "anti-virus" utilities can prevent sleep, along with other miseries. Get rid of them.
