IPhoto is saying I need to update it in order to open it but I have the latest version?

iPhoto says to do a software update but the software update is saying that everything is up to date.
Is there a way for it to open and not lose any pictures? I stupidly didn't back up the pictures onto a seperate harddrive.
My computer is relatively new (about 6 months) and am very frustrated.
Please help and thank you in advance.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

  • Numbers tell me I need an uptodate version to open a file created but I have the latest version so I am unable to open the files. I see others are having the same problem. Is there a solution?

  • I cannot open iCloud documents on my MAC I went to preferences etc and it did not give me access. My error says I need an updated version of numbers but I have the latest version

    You cannot access iCloud on a Mac running Mac OSX 10.4.  Are you sure, the system version is correct?
    If you are running iWork '09 (iWork 09 9.0.1) on your Mac with Numbers 2.3, you must at least have MacOS X 10.5.6 installed.
    if you want iCloud support for iOS apps, you need the iWork 9.3 update,see:  About the iWork 9.3 Update
    And this update requires OS X Lion v10.7.4
    Is your iMac compatible with Lion or later?

  • Dialogue box says I need a later version of Pages to open file, but I have the latest.

    When I try to open a document from icloud on my imac which I opened earlier on my ipad, the dialog box says:
    "You need a mewer version of Pages to open this document.  You can download the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store."
    When I go to do this, I am told it is already installed.  How do I open this document?

    You have both your older version of Pages in your Applications/iWork folder and Pages 5 in your Applications folder.
    Make sure you are opening your iPad document with Pages 5.

  • IOS7 update "requires" new iTunes, but I have the latest version?

    Attempting to update iPhone 4S to iOS 7 I get a message that a newer version if iTunes (11.0.5) is required.  That's the version I have!  Attempts to install it don't do anything.  Attempts to go ahead and get iOS7 keep bringing me back to the new iTunes is required pop-up.
    Any suggestions?

    Try this if you're using a PC with Windows, go into My computer, manage, services and applications, then in services, click to drop down services. Check if "iPhone Mobile device service" is listed.
    If not, uninstall iTunes, manual reboot, and then reinstall 11.1.
    Then go back to services and doubled clicked the iPhone Mobile device and opened it to see the service had been stopped. Restart it and be sure to check it is in automatic. Reboot the phone. Connect to a USB2 port (Not USB3 - Some USB3 ports have issues) Make sure to use original cable. Then opene iTunes to see it recognized the iPhone right away.

  • When I try to update my phone to ios 7 it says i need to update my itunes to 11.0.5, when i check my current version in help menu under check for updates it says I have the current 11.0.5 version.

    When I try to update my phone to ios 7 it says i need to update my itunes to 11.0.5, when i check my current version in help menu under check for updates it says I have the current 11.0.5 version. Even the downloader for the update doesnt show that i need to update.Help plzz????

    There is some kind of error. The new version of iTunes is 11.1, which although is not available via updates, it can be downloaded from the Apple website here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    After updating iTunes to the newest version you should be able to update your iOS
    EDIT: I just did that and it works

    What is the exact wording of the error message?
    Maybe this:

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.

  • Trying to update my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 with iTunes, I get a pop up saying I need to update iTunes, but it is the latest version.

    I'm trying to update my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 through iTunes. I get a pop out saying that I need to update to the latest version of iTunes. The problem is that I already have the latest version of iTunes. Is this a sign of overwhelmed servers or is this something different?
    Any information would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Go to iTunes.com, then click on Download iTunes on the top right area, then on the next screen make sure it states iTunes 11.1 on the left side and email is not necessary then click on download now in the blue button. Issue should be resolved

    You need to purchase a retail Leopard install disk or Snow Leopard upgrade disk(if your computer meets requirements for SL). Then update iTunes to 10.1 or greater. Check eBay or Amazon for retail Leopard Disks. You can also try calling AppleCare.

  • Icloud settings say i need to upgrade iphoto on my macbook, but i already have the latest version.

    i have a 4S and macbook pro running together on my network.  im able to sync via wifi, and i'm pretty sure my phone is sending things to icloud, but i can't activate photo stream on the macbook.  when i try to turn it on in icloud settings, the option is disabled and i get a message saying install the latest version of iphoto.  when i try to buy it from the app store, it says i already have the latest version.  help?

    Would checking the "copy to iPhoto" box and then reimporting do it or will I end up with two copies of the same photos?
    You'll end up with two copies and only one will have Faces attached.
    The external drive is a MyBookLive, which my Mac says is formatted for Mac. It doesn't seem to be creating any issues.
    What does Disk Utility report the format as?
    As I'm using a MacBook Air that doesn't have an ethernet connection, I have no choice but to import over my wireless network.
    A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
    My biggest issue at the moment is how do I copy the photos into iPhoto without having to start the process all over again.
    Worth a try:
    Check the box at the iPhoto Preferences: then
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.  

  • I have the latest version of keynote but it won't open files....says I need a newer version

    Latest Keynote app was downloaded wirh Maverick update.  My keynote files won't open and error message says I need to download latest version. I cannot download newer version (have latest version already) because my purchases say I have already installed it. Any ideas how to fix this?

    I have just the same issue. I have the latest version installed. I did work on the file this afternoon, cannot open it anymore with the current version of Keynote (6.2)
    It seems that Keynote fails to save the presentation in the right way.
    In the Finder the Show package contents command is active when Control-clicking the file. Keynote files that open correctly in Keynote do not offer to show their package contents. I also realized that the .key file not opening is only 135 KB, which is pretty scarce for a presentation.
    I suppose this is a file corruption issue, which is needed to fixed by Apple. I'm affraid the contents of those files are gone.

    There is an updated version number 10.7.0.21 that is available if you go to the iTunes link here on Apple.com.  It won't show up under Apple Software Update and if you check for updates via iTunes it likely won't show either.

  • How do I get rid of the notice that I need to update, when Firefox then tells me I have the latest version when I click the link to get the update?

    This notice has been on the page under the Google box for the last few days. There is a link to click on to update. The next page says that I'm up to date but suggests downloading Android or offers a download of Firefox if I'd like one.

    Thanks for the help. It's undoubtedly my error in not saying I'm a Mac user up front. I got there & chose return to default. Turns out that's where I have been all along. It's the Mozilla Firefox Start Page. But it includes this silly notice that I don't have the latest version of Firefox! Seems to me there's a bug (or whatever, I'm not real techy) in the basic design of the Firefox home page. Maybe it hasn't been updated for users of Lion?

  • Itunes not updating my 2.2.1 software.  Message says I have the latest version

    How do I get Itunes to update recognize that 2.2.1 is not the latest version and to update to the latest version?

    The final version for the 3G is 4.2.1. It cannot be updated beyond that. To update even to that you must have the latest version of iTunes (10.3.1) You don't say what type of computer you have, but if it is a Mac you must have OS X Leopard (10.5.x) or higher to install the latest iTunes.
