Iphoto does not allow me to update

Since installing Moutain Lion my iphoto does not allow me to update. It asks for it, but does not complete it. What should I do?

I have the same problem. I have iPhoto 9.1.5 running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2, I open iPhoto and select Check for Updates... It says iPhoto 9.4.2 is available so I push Launch Software Update and it launches the App Store but then it says No Update Available. This doesn't surprise me since I never bought through the App Store but instead installed from the iLife '11 install DVD. All of iLife updated fine until Apple started releasing automatic updates through the App Store ONLY. So I tried going on Apple Support and manually downloading the next available update (Tried 9.2.1 & 9.4.2), I launch the installer and it says iPhoto 9.1 or greater is required to install this update. I have 9.1.5 so I don't understand why it won't work. I even tried installing iPhoto 9.1 update and it says it requires iPhoto 9.0. I don't know what else to try except maybe calling Apple to see if they would give me a free download through the App Store (Highly unlikely). I refuse to purchase the whole suite AGAIN just because it won't update but I want my updates so I can use iCloud and Photo Stream. So frustrating. I have been dealing with this for a year and now I am finally deciding to speak up and get some help with this. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
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.
Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

HT4972 My iPhone 4 does not allow me to update my phone there is no "software update" selection in general settings

My iPhone 4 does not allow me to update to ios5. There is no "software updates" listed under settings and general where this is usually found?

You will need to connect the iPhone to the computer and iTunes and update in that fashion. Since the OTA update ability was introduced in iOS 5, if your device has an iOS of less than iOS 5, you will have to do it that way. After updating, you will be able to do subsequent updates OTA.
Connect to iTunes, select the phone in the device pane and select update. Also, you will not be able to update to iOS 5, you can only update to the latest iOS, which for the iPhone 4 is iOS 6.1.3.

Devices line in iPhoto does not allow you to sync but it does in iTunes

When I to into Itunes my Ipod shows up and you click on the Devices and you can choose to sync what you want.
However in iPhoto the devices line shows up but the Mac does not allow you to choose to sync i.e. the photos.
Also the sceen it jumps into seems to only deal with importing photos---this is different that before.
Can anyone help with this?

- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
Frankly, I've read your post several times and I don't really understand what it is you are asking.

A family of 5, have new iphone 4s phones.Because we shared an itunes account previously, now when installing the new phones, it does not allow us to update to individual itunes accounts. How do we change the accounts for each phone installation?

A family of 5, have new iphone 4 s phones.
Because we shared the itunes account previously, on installation of the new devices, the computer does not recognise individual itunes accounts.
So all 5 devices are sharing the same itunes account!!!
How do we set up new accounts on each individual phone?

The iTunes stores in different countries are entirely separate. You can only use an iTunes store credit in the country in with it was created and purchased content cannot be shared across countries. Family sharing groups must be country-specific, using iTunes store credits for purchases only within that country, and sharing purchases that were made in that country. You can contact iTunes store support for more details on these restrictions here: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

IPhoto quits unexpectedly and does not allow me to update

When I open iPhoto, I am prompted to upgrade: "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." Before I even have the opportunity to click Upgrade, the application quits: "The application iPhoto quit unexpectedly." When I click Relaunch, I receive the upgrade message again and the program quits again.
I have already repaired the permissions using Disk Utility and deleted the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from my Preferences folder per the instructions I found to resolve this problem on another site, but that did nothing.
Thanks for your help.

Someone else found that this works
Launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and create a new library - then launch iPhoto again while depressing the option (alt) key and switch back to your original library - this has apparently worked for some people

Iphoto does not allow to share events on the local network

Hello,
I was trying to share the iphoto library on the local network and it seems to be that I only can share albums, but not events.
The help on sharing says:
"Select the “Share my photos” checkbox, and then choose your entire library or only the Events,
folders, albums, slideshows, books, calendars, or cards that you want to share."
According to this I should be able to share events, but I'm not. Events don't even appear in the list of possible shares. The list itself says "Share selected albums".
So is there a way to share events?
If not then it looks like a bug to me. Basically to share the events I would need to create an album for each event.
Thanks

It's a bug or an optimistic writer of Help files...
It's very easy to make an album from an Event: Simply drag the Event to the Albums section of the Source Pane - result an Album of the same name. As Albums simply reference files on the HD (unlike Events) you use no extra disk space, plus the options for sorting and arranging the photos are enhanced.
Regards

The adobe version 10 update does not allow use of tabs

I had tabs working ok on my laptop, then an adobe update to ver 10 has stopped the tabs feature working. I get all sorts of notices about this being embarrissing to Firefox and analysing the problem. But nothing is offered. Everything locks up when I try to open tabs. Seems trawling q and a that this is not a prob unique to me. Do Firefox actually moniter this feedback and offer some hope of resolution?

Apple does not allow use of Adobe Flash with the IPad. Is it all right to use Bridgebaseonline with a Mac that is synched with an IPad?
Flash is not available for the iPad. If Bridge Base Online requires Flash, there's nothing you can do on the iPad, unless Bridge Base Online has an app in the iTunes App Store.
You may want to try an alternate browser like Skyfire or Puffin. No guarantees.
I have not been able to synch Ical and Iphoto with my IPad. I've been to the Genius bar 5 times and on the phone twice to try to resolve this problem.
iBook, Mac OS X (10.5.2), I cannot synch my IPad with IBook
This is a separate issue than what you stated in the subject. Syncing recent iPhones and iPads that have iOS5 on them require iTunes 10.5, which also requires OSX 10.5.8 on your Mac. Your profile says you have 10.5.2. If that is correct, you need to update to 10.5.8, then update iTunes to 10.5, if you haven't already done so.

As a new Macbook Pro user I was saddened to find that the feature of using keywords in iPhoto '11 does not allow showing same under each photo. I understand this was available in earlier versions. Any comments?

Against TOU which you "agreed" to in order to post in these user to user forums. If you want to "suggest" something to Apple, do so in the Product Feedback area.

OS 10.9.2 will not allow me to update my old iPhoto app.

OS 10.9.2 will not allow me to update my old iPhoto app. I upgraded computer from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro and migrated my data onto the new machine. I had iPhoto '09 installed running on 10.5.8.Now on 10.9.2 and I get get a message that iPhoto was registered to another user and that I will need to purchase my own copy. Not sure why since I've always used the same account and its my only account. Isn't Mavericks supposed to come pre-loaded with the latest version of iPhoto?

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto qualify for a free upgrade to 9.5.1 and which require a purchase;
If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.

IPhoto does not start to update after my iMac was updated to OS X Yosemite.

iPhoto has been "paused" after my iMac was updated to OS X Yosemite. iPhoto does not start to update when I click "UPDATE" in App Store "Updates". The circle on the left top corner just keep circling. Do you know how to fix this problem? I cannot download my photos to iPhoto without updating it.

Thank you LarryHN,
I could not follow what you have explained to me as I struggled to find iPhoto 9.6. Anyway, while I was struggling, I managed to update iPhoto somehow. Finally, I can use iPhoto!
Thank you very much for your quick response.

I have a macbook pro after last update iphoto does not recognize the formate of a lot of my pictures.

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? What do you mean by :does not recognize the formate of a lot of my pictures."? Are these photos already imported into the library? What do you see when you open iPhoto?
