IPhoto not compatible with OSX Yosemite

I have a MacBook Pro (17 inch, early 2011) with a 2GHz Intel Core i7 and 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.
A few weeks ago I downloaded the Yosemite operating system (10.10.3). Since then, my iPhoto application will not open. I can't save pictures to my computer from my phone and I can't edit pictures I've imported. When I try to open iPhoto, it says: "In order to open "iPhoto", you need to update to the latest version. The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite. Download the latest version for free from the Mac Apple Store."
I search the app store for iPhoto and no updates are available. The message displayed is: " The item you've requested is not currently available in the US store."
Anyone know what to do to solve this? I really need to be able to edit photos. Thanks for helping!

You need iPhoto 9.6.1 for use with 10.10.3. Try the method Terence Posted in this topic to get it from the App Store:

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
Otherwise you can drag your iPhoto Library onto the Photos app icon in the Dock to covert it to a Photos library.

i accindetally deleted my mail app and emptied the trash, when I tried to reinstall from the startup disk, it installs but wont open, saying that the version of mail is not compatible with the version of OSX (10.5.8)

There is no downloadable version of Mail.app - it comes with the operating system i.e. on your install disks.

Why is a video clip from iphoto not compatible with imovie?

i have a video clip in iphoto and when i try to add it by dragging it into the videos in imovie, it says "the file will not be imported. it is not compatible with imovie". this video clip was taken with my friend's point and shoot type camera, then put on her computer, then put on a flash drive, then put on my computer. thank you so much for any help!

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
Some "..point and shoot.." cameras create movies in an iMovie-compatible ".mov" format, but others create .avi files, or they record in the MPEG-1 format which iMovie can't unscramble.
Not all point and shoot movies are compatible with iMovie, even if they play using Apple's QuickTime movie player which iPhoto relies on.
These non-compatible movies need to be converted to .mov format, or some other compatible format such as DV or AIC, before trying to import them into iMovie. If you have QuickTime Pro, you can just open the movie clips and then use 'Export' to save them in the .mov format.
..More details from me - or others - later; I'm dashing out right now for a bite to eat..

IPhoto not compatible with library.

I have a two year old IMac. Everything fine till last week. Power outage caused some form of corruption in my IPhoto library.
Now, when I try to open it, I receive pop up saying: "IPhoto is unable to open this library. The library is not compatible with IPhoto."
Went on line to find answers. Most suggest building new library but I can't even do that as I cannot even access the Preferences aspect of IPhoto. Header is there but all options are in grey meaning I can't click on any options of IPhoto to begin creating new library.
Photos are still there.
Checked Masters folder and all photos exist but no library as such.
Any help would be greatly welcome.
Tom

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with OSX Yosemite?

I want to know whether or not I should install the new OSX Yosemite update. I won't install the update if Photoshop Elements 11 isn't compatible with it. I've looked online and I can't find any reference to this yet, so I thought I should ask. Does anybody know? Also, if it isn't going to be compatible, will my .psd files that I created using Photoshop Elements 11 be compatible with other, newer Photoshop programs?

I've looked online and I can't find any reference to this yet
Really? Try:
Photoshop Elements doesn't respond when you use editing tools in Mac OS X 10.10
and
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/photoshop-elements-hangs-in-yosemite
for starters. So no, not entirely compatible. I would hold off on 10.10 if you want to keep using PSE 11 until at least 10.10.1 and then wait to see if it fixes the problems. In any case, the Graphic Novel and Comic filters have been making PSE crash since 10.9, so you'd lose those, at least, even if the other problems get fixed.

I want to upgrade to iPhoto/iMovie '11 but the latest release is not compatible with OSX 10.6.8

Can I buy an older version anywhere? Or am I being coerced into buying Lion? I tried looking through the app store but it seems increasingly likely that I'm going to have to buy an old iLife disc of someone, or upgrade. Unfortunately I'm using a late 2007 Macbook (not even Macbook pro) which handles leopard but not sure if it will handle Lion.
Currently I'm running...
OSX 10.6.8
iPhoto '08 7.1.5
iMovie '08 7.1.4

Thanks! I found iLife 11 on amazon, but can I download it? I don't mind paying for it, just don't want to wait. Thanks.

My Book 500 GB ext firewire drive not compatible with osx 10.3.9???

When apple support immediately blames other companies for problems and at the same time refuses to help me get osx booting on an external hard drive just because apple didn't make the external device, it sure sounds like microsoft's slimy politics. Should I stop buying macs because they won't boot off an external hard drive because apple support won't help?
I tried copying my current osx with diskutil (an apple product). When I try to boot off it, I get a square with a ? then the finder icon, then it boots off the internal hard drive. Surely its a problem with diskutil (an apple product)!
I have no problems booting off my internal drive so I know the os is good. I ran disk util and it reported errors which disk util couldn't fix but disk warrier said it fixed... OMG!
Funny thing is... it reported different errors on the 2 drives (one a copy of the other). Tried using carbon copy clone which always worked before. It refuses to boot of the my book drive. I have leopard on a second external drive which boots normally. So what is wrong with the 500gb My book drive or osx? It is a firewire drive so it should boot. It had no problem installing a dozen times osx 10.3.9 & 10.3.5 but still get the same ? and finder icons before booting internally.
Tried to get help from WD (drive maker). No luck after the 4th try so I'm zeroing the drive and taking it back.
Unless I can get it working tomorrow... somehow... without apple support....?
And I bought the drive so I could use Time Machine! (another apple product). No support there either...
Should I just turf the drive and stop buying macs?

Thanks for the quick response. I didn't bother to check what format it had. Just reformatted it for mac.
Yes, I ran the disk partion in diskutil and split it into 2 partitions. Didn't make any difference with the boot problem because when I set it back to one partion and installed 10.3.5 off the dvd, it still had the same ? finder icon issue. So I doubt it was a partition issue.
So I did format it hfs+ and used the partition tab in disk util. So that's why I don't understand why it is suddenly a problem as I had no issue cloning drives to my other ext. hard drive.
At first I thought it might be an issue with the bootable partition not being the first one listed. But that didn't make a difference when I changed the order. Usually I just run carbon copy cloner and make a bootable copy but that didn't work either. Tried installing from the dvd, that didn't work either. So I'm at a loss to explain why its such a nightmare to make a bootable backup.
The working copy on my internal hard drive runs just fine even with/without errors. Surely a cloned copy should also work as it has in the past.
Basically, I wanted to clone my internal hd to an external one so I can move my leopard os on another ext hd and put it on my internal drive.
Right now I have panther on my ibook drive and leopard on my ext hd. I'd rather have it the other way around since the leopard patches seem to have fixed things.
On my panther drive I have vp7 and xp installed. Whether that makes a difference, who knows?

Thanks for the upgrade to Firefox 4! Unfortunately, you don't say anywhere that it's not compatible with OSX 10.4. Might want to fix that so that other users don't run into this issue.

After the latest upgrade to 3.whatever, Firefox asked if I'd like to upgrade to 4.0. I said yes, assuming (since Firefox has always been compatible before) that it'd install and work. It didn't. Why? Because Firefox is no longer supporting OSX 10.4, apparently. This should probably be noted SOMEWHERE so that trusting people like me don't screw up our existing Firefox.

I looked for a link to the system requirements page before I downloaded to my PowerPC Mac, but I couldn't see it anywhere.
However, I saw that Mozilla was bragging about supporting Windows XP whereas the new IE 9 did not. One would assume that if Mozilla was bragging about supporting that old Windows platform, they would also support a Mac platform of the same vintage.
I did not assume wisely. I am very disappointed in the Mozilla team.
For the record, I am running the latest version update of Leopard (10.5.?) on my PowerBook G4.

IPhoto not updating with OSX 10.7.5

My MacBook operating system is OSX. My iCloud account is set up, however my iPhotos are not shared on this device. I have updated all software (which should update the iphoto app) but it isn't happening - it is still showing iPhoto 08. Any suggestions?

iPhoto 11 is a paid upgrade from iPhoto 08. Buy it from the Mac App Store.

Is iMac6.1 compatible with OSX 7?

In order to use the latest version of Adobe Lightroom I need to upgrade my 24" iMac from OSX 10.6.8 to at least OSX 10.7. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with OSX 10.8, so I'm wondering if it is compatible with OSX 10.7.

Mac OS X Lion System Requirements
In order to install Mac OS X 10.7 you will need:
Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of RAM
Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later with the Mac App Store installed
At least 4GB of additional disk space to accommodate the download, but more is obviously recommended
Lioin is no longer availalbe at the App Store, so you will need to call Apple > Contacting Apple for support and service

Usb wifi compatible with osx 10.8

Hi I need to buy a usb wifi adapter for my macbook pro 13' mid 2009. The airport card won't work anymore. It's not a problem with airport itself, it seems the problem has something to do with some sort of connection problem between the airport card, bluetooth, the webcam and the mother board, and to repair that connection would be expensive. Does anyone know of any usb wifi adapter which would work with osx 10.8? 150 or 300 MPS? Thank you.

Pages 5 is not compatible with OSX 10.8, or anything else much.
Page '09 is compatible.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite. Yesterday when I opened up the iPhoto (which I have it in my external drive due to the size of file) I get the message that it is not compatible with the new system(or something like that) and ask me to upgrade so I did. Then another message pops ups and asked for rebuilding the Thumbnails. So I clicked rebuild. Next it asked me to do one of three things(I can't remember all of them) so I chose the last one which is to download a photo to iPhoto. Now I only have that photo I downloaded in iPhoto file but not the rest of my pictures. The iPhoto library which is stored in my EHD shows it has 349GB but it only show one thumbnail of the last picture I downloaded after the rebuild process. What can I do to recover the rest of the file?
Thanks for your help.

I have OS X Yosemite - my current version of iPhoto is not compatible with it / how do i find the correct version of iPhoto? The APP Store keeps sending me back to the same 'current version' that is NOT Compatible...

If you have Yosemite you need iphoto 9.6 from the App store - what is the exact error message you are getting?
Try dragging the iphoto Application to the trash from your applications folder (wait tot empty the trash) and then install iPhoto 9.6 from the App store
