Iphoto for Mountain lion?

Hey guys, this macbook owner has ML on it and doesn't want to upgrade to Mavericks, the iphoto on his mac doesn't open anymore showing error:
"iphoto cannot be opened becuase of a problem"
we tried purchasing iphoto from Apple yesterday but it is showing that he needs to have Mavericks installed for it so is there anywhere I can find iphoto for ML please?

If you try to open iPhoto whilst holding down Command+Alt you may get an option to run some repairs.
Do you have backup you can restore from - just in case your problems escalate:

  • Is there a download for iphoto for mountain lion

    I've just upgrade from 10.6.8 to mountain lion and I still do not have the iPhoto app.  Does anyone know where I can get a download version of iPhoto that is compatible with mountain lion 10.8.5?

    Click here and try following the instructions, or install iPhoto from the computer's original disks, or buy an iLife 11 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay.

  • Updates for iPhoto in Mountain Lion, on a work computer.

    Updates for iPhoto in Mountain Lion are only available from the App Store. I'm on a new iMac which is a work computer, owned by my employer, and don't want to enter my credit card details.  The brand new iMac came with iPhoto installed, so I don't see why I should purchase updates for it.
    Does anyone have a similar experience or any advice please?

    You don't have to but you need to enter the Apple ID and passowrd for that Apple ID from the person that registered that Mac. So the owner would have those and if not they need to create an Apple ID for the company. As without one no updates can be done on that system.
    In your tags it says you are using OS X 10.4.11. If that is incorrect please change it to the correct version of OS X. Which if this is a New iMac it should be 10.8.x.
    Also why are you using iPhoto on a work computer? If you're not a photographer, or deal with images as part of your job then there's no real reason to update iPhoto. And if you are dealing with images as part of your job then you need a better image management program then iPhoto.

  • Purchasing iphoto v9.4.3 for mountain lion

    Hi-
    I have given up trying to upgrade my iphoto 9.3 to 9.4.3 for mountain lion.  I have tried (a) Apple-Software Updates... and (b) going directly to http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1650.  Neither works, The first one doesnt list the update as an option and the second approach directs me to the app store for my update after i click on the downloaded 9.4.3pkg file.  In the app store there are no compatible updates.  Frustrating!
    So, how can i do a fresh install of iPhoto 9.4.3?  I am happy to pay for it again, but where do i find it for purchase?
    Thanks.

    It is no longer available. The udate you downloaded is most likely an update to the former DVD based app and as you found out, diesn't update the Mac App Store (MAS) version because they aren't exactly the same app. You will not be able to update your older version.
    If your Mac can run Mt Lion, then it can run Mavericks. Why not upgrade your OS and then you can upgrade to the Mavericks versions available in the MAS.

  • Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

    updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

    It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
    Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
    As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
    Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

  • Is it possible to upgrade to lion or do I have to wait for mountain lion?

    Is it possible to  still upgrade to Lion or do I have to wait for Mountain Lion later in July?  I currently have Snow Leopard and upgraded RAM to 4GB on an older iMac Core Duo in order to use iCloud features in Lion.  Also, I'm wanting to upgrade iMovie and iPhoto, but I'm having difficulty finding a download link that will let me do it online without going through the App Store, and it says I need to be running 10.7.  I feel like I'm in an "obsolete" double bind until I upgrade to Mountain Lion and it isn't possible yet.  I'm wanting to use iMovie 8 or higher in order to download AVCHD video.  I just bought a new camera that shoots AVCHD and I can't download any HD video,  nor can I find any of my old video which used to be on iPhoto and would open w/ Quick Time.  User friendly Mac is no longer so intuitive.

    Yes, you can purchase Lion as well as iPhoto and iMovie from the App Store. But before you can do that you must update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 by installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 update. Then you can sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password, locate the items you want, purchase them, and download them to your computer.

  • How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion?

    How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion? It's not in the App Store, it is nowhere on the Apple website . . . OK, so I guess it is supposed to be part of Mountain Lion, but I am running Mountain Lion and whatever version of Safari I ended up with would not even run at all . . .  so I trashed it (or at least what part of it I was allowed to trash) and though reinstalling it would be a good idea . . . but I can't find one to reinstall. The latest version I can find is for Leopard, and of course that won't run.
    Not to mention that since getting Mt Lion, iPhoto won't run . . . it produces an error message saying I need to check with the developer to make sure it runs with this version of OS X! So I wonder who the developer of iPhoto is, who produces software that is incompatible with Mt Lion???
    And even in submitting this there is no option to tag it for any OS later than 10.7.4!!

    Since Safari is crashing, post a crash report...   reinstalling the OS X rarely helps a browser crash issue.
    If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash  information.
    Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.
    Please include the "binary images" section...

  • Merging files in Preview for Mountain Lion

    I would like to merge some jpgs into a single file using preview.  I am currently using Mountain Lion.  This was possible to do so on previous versions on Preview yet I can't seem to figure put how to do it here.  Is this stilll possible using Preview for Mountain Lion?  This was a very useful feature.
    Help.  Anyone?
    Many thanks in advance.

    I don't know about your Preview problem and I am interested to see responses about it.
    When you say no iPhoto in Finder. Do you mean iPhoto is not listed in the Applications folder? If you do a Finder search on iPhoto is it found. Mine is in "Bobs HD>Applications

  • Preparing for Mountain Lion - what folders and files should be saved?

    Hi gang,
    Although some of you make think this is obvious, it really is not. In preparation for Mountain Lion, I curious what folders and files (other than the obvious) should I move off to another drive? I'm going to do a clean install this time around. I'll probably do an upgrade first to understand any gotcha's when I upgrade my wife's MBP later, then do a clean install.
    I'm going to move the documents, my Aperture and iPhoto libraries, but I'm unsure about the iTunes folder and my movies and such. Most of my software has come from the App Store, so I don't need to worry aobut those, and the few other programs I have the software for (iWork, iLife, but we'll probably need new versions of those.
    I just preparing a list to make sure that I get everthing.
    Thanks, Mark

    When doing a clean install OS upgrade I like to swap out the time machine drive, storing/retiring the old time machine as a backup of the old system while keeping it's Time Machine history.
    So personally what I do is:
    #1 clone my boot drive to an external (at this point I have two backups Time Machine + a clone)
    #2 wipe the boot drive and install new OS on it (at this point I still have two copies of my data TM + clone)
    #3 verifiy the old time machine is accessible from the new boot drive (sometimes due to ownership/permissions/filevault this is a problem so check even if migrating from clone)
    #4 selectively migrate files from clone or TM to new install
    #5 Start a new time machine of the new OS drive (sometimes I'll wipe the clone at this point and use it, prefering to keep the old TM as a archived backup)
    One note, I've burned myself at least once forgetting that I'd excluded some parts of my old drive from Time Machine drive (usually Podcasts, Movies), so pay attention to that before relying on it.

  • IPhoto and Mountain Lion don't work together

    I consistently have problems with iPhoto and my entire computer locks up and runs at less than a snail's pace. I paid $15 to install iPhoto after upgrading to Mountain Lion and now wish I had stayed with Snow Leopard and the old iPhoto. Having to type this on my iPad while I wait for something to unlock on my computer. I am merely trying to export one image to my desktop and it's taken about 10 minutes. Apple - PLEASE fix this!

    There is no problem with iPhoto and Mountain Lion. You're not talking to Apple here, and as it's not happening to everybody else they're not going to fix it because you have a local problem.
    If you want help try give us a full description of the problem.
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Need to Install Safari 6.0.2 on a white Intel core duo iMac. Had to throw out 6.0.3 because of conflict with required software. Downloaded wrong version that was for Mountain lion (I am running 10.7.5). It installs but won't open.

    Of course I can't throw it away since I get a message it's part of the sytem. I can show package contents and throw those away, but evidently not a good idea!!

  • How can I make a bootable disk for Mountain Lion?

    How can I make a bootable disk for Mountain Lion?

    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • What are the real minimum requirements for Mountain Lion?

    What are the real minimum requirements for Mountain Lion. Currently running Snow Leopard. I have a late 2006 Model: iMac6,1. Specs: 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo, 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2, and the optional nVidia GeForce 7600GT c/w 256MB GDDR2. The advertisement is stating a 2007 model as the minumum, however the fastest 2006 Gen Plastic iMac should be faster then the slowest 2007 Gen Aluminum iMac7,1?

    From a previous posting from some else, I saw it was the 32bit versus 64bit video card driver being the issue. I was wondering if the optional video card I have installed also was limited to the 32bit issue. 64bit drivers exist for the 7600 GT GPU.

  • I installed 6.0.2 on OS10.7.5 and now Safari won't open.  6.0.2 is just for Mountain Lion.  How do I revert to 6.0.1?

    I installed 6.0.2 on OS10.7.5 and now Safari won't open.  6.0.2 is just for Mountain Lion.  How do I revert to 6.0.1?

    I do have a cloned back-up, so I tried to just copy Safari 6.0.1 back onto my main drive—wouldn't work.  Got a message that the System needs Safari and I can't touch it.
    I'm trying to find a simpler way to revert than clone backwards, which takes a lot of time.  And actually I never use Safari.  I'm a Chrome user.
    You are correct that I downloaded 6.0.2, rather than using software update.  However, with many other pieces of software, if you try to install over the wrong system, you get a message telling you that the installation can't be done.  Apple could have saved a lot of trouble by using this message.
    I have three machines of different vintage, so one is on 10.6.8, one on 10.7.5 and one on 10.8.2.  I am usually pretty careful about software updates and which system is needed.  Unfortunately, in this case I used CNET download, and the description of 6.0.2 said it was for Lion and Mountain Lion.

    I have installed mountain lion on my early 2009 macbook (not unibody) and it is terrible, it's like owning a windows pc again (almost) What can I do? I paid for mountain lion, is there any way of giving it back and getting a refund? obvisoulsy after unintalling it. I couldn't see any reason why it would be bad for my particular macbook, and it downloaded without a problem.

    In what way is it terrible? Mountain Lion is pretty stable. If you are having problems, most likely they are unique to your particular system and can be fixed. If you don't like some of the new features, that does not constitute reason for a refund.
    If that does not suit you, you will have to discuss a refund with Apple, as they are the only ones who can say. Note that the App Store terms do say that all sales are final, so you are not guaranteed a refund, especially since whatever problems you had are not due to defective software.
