IPhoto error, won't open, says it needs the most recent version

I have an early 2009 mac pro desktop with 6 megs of ram. iPhoto error, won't open, says it needs the most recent version to work but the most recent version won't work either because I have Mountain Lion. I downloaded iPhoto from the App store and the store said "you can't download the most recent version because you don't have Mavericks - would you like to download an older version?" So I said yes and downloaded it. It is actually the Mavericks version that downloads anyway. So I used an older version from my other computer and updated it to version 9.4.3. When I try to open it it says you need the most recent version. My library is on an external drive which was downgraded from Mavericks back to Mountain Lion because Mavericks wouldn't work properly on my computer. Now no version will open.
What can I do? Thank you for your help in advance.

The exact error message is:
THe library "iPhoto Library" cannot be opened. To open it, you must upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto. Then the Quit button is at the bottom of the dialog box.
I did install iPhoto 9.5 when I installed Mavericks, Keep in mind that all of my photos are not on the boot drive but they are on an external drive. I then got rid of Mavericks and did a fresh install of Mountain Lion then I copied the contents of a previous drive that only had Mountain Lion on it. 9.5 wouldn't open in Mountain Lion so I copied an older version from another computer and updated it to 9.4.3. 9.4.3 says you must upgrade to the latest version and 9.5 says you need an older version. So I am stuck now.

  • My Mac OS, 10.5.8, won't support the most recent Firefox and I need the most recent version it WILL support and how to get it, as it's not on this site.

    I need a way to get a more recent but not current version of Firefox that my computer, a PowerPC processor Mac, will support. I am running OS X version 10.5.8. This processor/computer will not run Lion and the most recent version of Firefox will not run on it either.

  • Flash Player won't install (trying to install the most recent version)

    I tried to install flash the most recent version but it just disappears from the area where i downloaded it and have to end the process. Or I will get incorrect certificate error and nothing happens won't install. I had to revert to prevous version I had on my computer until this is fix. Is anyone else having trouble installing the recent version on windows 7 64-bit using Firefox 5.0 or IE 9?

  • I have a four year old version of Firefox and it won't let me update to the most recent version. Help.

    Current installed version of Firefox is 2.0.0.4 - 2006. I'm trying to upgrade to 3.6.8; while it will download, I don't get a prompt to drag it into the Applications folder. I think my installed version is so old it won't recognize the new one. What do I do to make the new version install?

    You have not specified the version of Mac OS X you are using. If you have 10.3.9 or earlier, the last version you can use is Firefox 2.0.0.20 available from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/
    Firefox 3 and above require at least OS X 10.4
    If you do have 10.4 or above, see [[Installing Firefox on Mac]]

  • Fresh install of iPhoto 11 won't open - say's it needs update.

    Hi,
    I need some help here. I just re-installed my MBP (mid 2010) with OSX Lion, got all updates. After that i installed my iLife 2011 software bundel, and got every update downloaded and installed. Rebootet and then tried to start iPhoto (for the first time since my re-install). Now it says: "In order to open iPhoto, you need to update to the lastest version." Problem is, that i allready did this before i tried to start iPhoto - So i'm stuck. iPhoto has been installed from the iLife 2011 bundel DVD, and not from the App Store.
    Hope some of you can help me. I have searched the discussion forum, and i all i find is some guides aboout deleting som cache files, but these does not exsist on my mac, because iPhoto has never beed opened.
    Ps. I made a backup of my iPhoto library, before i did the Lion reinstall - so nothing is lost.
    (sorry for my bad english, i'm from Denmark )
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    I had the same happen to me, i updated with an ilife11 dvd, iphoto now won't open says i need to do the software update but everything is up to date when i run the update.  I tried to do the steps you suggested above, but i can't 'get info' on iphoto to see what version i have, when i try to click the icon the same little box pops up saying i need to update to latest version, run software update now to install.  I did try searching another way and it looks like i have iphoto 9.0 on Mac and last modified last night when i did what i thought was an ugrade. i was under the impression i was upgrading my current iphoto 9 to iphoto 11 when i did the ilife dvd.  (im computer illiterate) anyhow i can't open iphoto now and im wondering if i've just lost all my pictures that i've never backed up, at this point i could care less about upgrading to the newest app, i just want all my photos back.  Do you think i should put the dvd back in and try it again or will that just mess everything up now (new apps and other updates that came on that dvd seem fine when i open them) 
    I'm using a Mac OS X version 10.6.8

  • My ipod touch says I need to update the software in order to access iTunes for apps, but iTunes says I have the most current version.  What do i do?

    I have an iPod touch.  When I try to download an app, it says I need to update the device's software to access the iTunes store.  But, when i connect to iTunes, it says I have the most current version.  I'm stuck.  My mother got this iPod as free-with-purchase when she bought her desktop.  She used it, then gave it to me.  Could this be the problem? because she connected it to her iTunes and now it won't work on mine?  When I first plugged it into my iTunes, it said the iPod was registered to another account and did I want to sync it with my account, to which I said yes.  So far, this iPod has been useless to me because I can't download any apps to it.  Help, please.

  • At times, I receive a notice from a site that Firefox needs an update. When I go to FIrefox, it says I am using the most recent version. What goes?

    I am wondering if these sites are trying to get me to download Malware or viruses. If I go to the Firefox site and it says that I am using the most recent version, I believe what Mozilla is telling me and ask myself "why would a site tell me I need to update"? I only trust Mozilla and will not blindly download something without investigating. Am I being paranoid?

    Thanks. You confirmed my suspicions, and I hope others do not fall for this. It usually happens with the site:
    1Channel
    or
    PrimeWire.ag (This is the name for the new 1 Channel due to its being hijacked)

  • I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available.  Please help.

    I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available.  Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
    We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

    I need to know how to delete the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded it tonight and my computer doesn't have that little edit bar to work with so I can download the proper Adobe player and my internet has been screwed up ever since I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I just want the old version of it back since I apparently can't download the Adobe stuff that is necessary to keep my computer safe from Hackers. It sure would have been nice to know there was an issue with the new Firefox Update BEFORE I uploaded it. I have Vista which is usually an issue with both Adobe and Firefox. I don't seem to be able to run much of Adobe at all on my computer because of the Vista.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I have also noticed all my settings won't stay set, example....I removed the check mark from "third party cookies", the when I close Firefox and reopen the check mark is back, also my tool bar has screwed up....can't reset, been having trouble the up grade.

  • I downloaded the most recent version of iTunes and now it won't launch

    I have a PC with over 800 gb of space, most of which is unused, and am running Windows 7, and when I opened iTunes (which opened and worked just fine) I was prompted to download the most recent version of iTunes and iCloud.  Upon completion of the download, which indicated it was successful, I had to restart my computer.  When I tried to launch iTunes this time, I got two error messages:  "The procedure entry point ADAdPolicyEngine_DidEnterStation could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll"   and   "iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes."
    Last summer I got to the point where I was unable to access iTunes at all and worked for weeks with Apple support to correct the issue to no avail.  I had my computer in the shop and they were able to clean up a couple of corrupted files, and thereafter iTunes worked great.
    I'm afraid to uninstall iTunes for fear I'll never get it back.   Anybody have suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Littleredz24

    P. S.  Just got brave and uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it.  Got the same error message:  Entry Point Not Found - The procedure entry point ADAdPolicyEngine_DidEnterStation could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll
    Now I can't get to iTunes at all.  Help, please!

  • Opening since update to Firefox 6, always get the message that I don't have the most recent version - have removed and reinstalled, but still persists.

    I recently updated my Firefox to version 6.0. When it re-opened after installation there was a message that I didn't have the most recent version. I ran the update set-up again but got the same message. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it from a fresh download but it's still happening.
    I've restarted the computer several times. It doesn't seem to have helped. Any ideas?

    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded.

    Hi cmccloud,
    What is the error message you get? If it's telling you to upgrade Numbers but you already have updated, then that means you probably are trying to open the document with the old version, which is still on your Mac, in a sub folder within Applications named iWork '09. Open the document with the Numbers that is in your Applications folder (not the one in a subfolder). It's easy to confuse the two, because the icons are similar.
    If you're getting some other error message, could you post specifics?
