Iphoto not working with OS X

Hello! I recently updated my operating system on my MacBook Pro to the Maverick OS X and ever since I did that, I am not able to open iPhoto, I receive this message: "You can’t use this version of the application “iPhoto” with this version of OS X.You have “iPhoto” 9.2.3." Can you please help me make iPhoto work again?
Thank you!

You need to backup your iPhoto library and go to the App store and update to iPhoto '11 version 9.5 - a free upgrade if you own any version of iPhoto '11 which you do - version 9.2.3 is an oldr version of ihoto '11

Iphoto not working with screen saver

Ever since I upgrade to 10.6.2, my screen saver will not allow me to use pictures in iphoto. When I click on a folder to use, it gives me a message "unable to use iphoto please contact vendor for screen saver upgrade" or very close to that. HUH? Isn't apple my vendor for both? Any ideas on how to go back to using my photos as my screen saver?

My guess is that ILMediaBrowser is referring to the iLife Media Browser. You might run Software Update and see if you somehow missed an update to it. However, if it worked with a new iPhoto Library I think the iLife Media Browser is probably OK, but there is something funky in the innards of your original iPhoto Library that is crashing the Media Browser.
You could try holding the Command and Option keys down, then launch iPhoto from the Applications folder. Keep holding the keys until it asks you if you want to rebuild. There are list of items to be checked, click on the ones that sound likely to help matters.

De-noise on iPhoto not working with Canon camera pictures

When I try to use the de-noise option in iPhoto on some pictures taken with a professional camera (Canon), it does not de-noise the picture.
I tried diffrent stuff to see what works and what does not:
- If I use a picture taken from iPhone / iPad, in iPhoto de-noise works
- If I take a professional picture, send it to my iPhone and resend it on my Mac, the de-noise will work
- If I use a professional picture on my Mac desktop, de-noise works as well.
Just not in that initial circumstance ... Strange !! Help ?!

How does this

IPhoto not working with iMovie or Garageband

Ever since I upgraded to iMovie 09 (from 08), my iPhotos will NOT load to iMovie. Or Garageband or even upload to email for that matter.
What happens is that my iphotos say "loading photos" or something like that, and it just has a little spinner there and NEVER loads the photos for use with iMOvie. During Garageband, it shuts down my computer every single time.
I went to the Mac store and they couldn't figure it out either.
Can someone help me?
OR.....I have my original CD that came with my computer. If I put that in, will my original iLife 08 reload? I'm nervous to try it, but I'm desperate. It's been 6 months without the use of my iAnything.

Sal, I had a similar problem once. I'm sorry you had to go through so much of this but maybe what I discovered can still help you.
- View your albumdata.xml file in some text editor, like TextEdit.
- Do a Find (cmd f) for "List of Keywords"
- The XML under that looks kind of like this:
<dict>
<key>1</key>
<string>Favorite</string>
<key>6</key>
<string>Birthday</string>
<key>3</key>
</dict>
You will probably have more keywords, this is just an example. But see the format - everything that has <something> ends with </something>.
When I had the problem, the example above looked like:
<dict>
<key>1</key>
<string>Favorite <key>6</key>
<string>Birthday</string>
<key>3</key>
</dict>
Notice the line return and </string> are missing for "Favorite". This happened to one of my keywords, and I don't know what caused it, but I deleted that keyword (and the one after it) from within iPhoto's preferences, and typed them in again.
The problem went away. Maybe some bogus character got into the keywords to make the XML go bad.
So try to use the method above to identify which keyword might have a problem, rather than go on a witch hunt and waste a lot of time. Of course, your problem could be different from mine entirely, but my iLife apps had the same problem you described.

Iphoto not working with upgrade and updated after Yosemite update

We updated to Yosemite last night and this morning I found I can not open my iPhoto. We had a very old version that cost to update so I decided to wait, well when I saw there was a free update I did that, then it said To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. Now when I try to open it it keeps telling me to do the prepared upgrader and I already did, so it only gives me the option to quit or learn more which is where you down load it.

All fixed thanks to the apple support people. It was very hard and many many different ways to get it resolved.

Iphoto not working with new OS X

Hi Everyone, I've just downloaded the new OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 and for some reason now I can't open iPhoto.
I get a message saying "You can't use this version of the application 'iPhoto' with this version of OS X. You have 'iPhoto' 9.2.3"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Mitch,
You should have an update for iPhoto waiting in the App Store. If you don't, go to the App Store and type iPhoto in the search bar. It should display the app, and have "Update" in the place where the price normally is.
Cheers,
GB

IPhoto not working with Snow Leopard

I installed Snow Leopard and then opened iPhoto, all my edited photos, when opened on the full screen, come up either as a full page of red or green stripes. Went to the Genius bar, they wiped the hard drive clean and reinstalled everything, except Snow Leopard from my backup and it worked fine.
They told me to wait about 2 weeks and then try and install Snow Leopard again, and unfortunately the same thing is happening.
Anybody else have this problem?
Thanks

Thank you Terence for your reply
I have just sent my query to you again I think under another thread.
I migrated the photos from another computer to this one.
I also copied some photos from another imac g5 on to this computer.

You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
         by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
         installation current.

I just upgraded to os 10.9.5. When I try to open iPhoto, I am told that the version I have(9.3), is not compatible with the os. But it came with it when I upgraded. What do I have to do to get an iPhoto that works with 10.9.5? TIA

I just upgraded to os 10.9.5 on my 15 " macbook pro from os 10.7.5. When I try to open iPhoto, I get the message that it is not compatible with the os. How can that be??? It came with the upgrade. It says the version of iPhoto is 9.3. How do I get an iPhoto that works with os 10.9.5? TIA

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgradeto iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

I just upgraded to the maverick and, of course, the iPhoto does not work with it. How do I upgrade to version 11? I cannot find it anywhere

Recently upgraded to Maverick and the version of iphoto does not work with it. How do I get and download the version 11? I can't find it anywhere

Which iPhoto? 9.4.6 and 9.5.1 work here.
FWIW, iLife '11 is available here: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-VERSION/dp/B003XKRZES

My iPhoto will not work with Yosemite, and it says that it was purchased under a different account, but that's not the case. Any ideas why I cannot update iPhoto?

How did you buy iPhoto? Did it come preinstalled on your computer with Lion or later, or did it come with Snowleopard on system installer disks?
Which version of iPhoto?
If you have a version of iPhoto '11 and it is showing on the Purchased tab of the App Store, with your Apple ID, then delete iPhoto from the Applications folder (don't empty the Trash) and download iPhoto again from the Purchased tab.
If that does not work, contact The App Store Support from the Quick Links on the AppStore main page.
Only apple Support can fix problems with apple ID.

Two-finger pinch zoom not working with safari

Suddenly, the two-finger pinch to zoom is not working with Safari. MBP 13", SL 10.6.8 andf Safari 5.1. The View Menu Zoom control works fine, and the Pinch gesture works once thereafter, but then not. I have reloaded the Safari .plist. Gesture works with the Desktop icons and iPhoto. Any suggestions?
TIA
Picman

Ditto with the Newsstand-blocks-the-Home-Screen bug.
I was eager to see the revised New York Times layout and disappointed when Newsstand wouldn't pinch closed.
The irony is, we can finally "hide" the Newsstand in a folder but now it takes over our Home Screens. I'm hoping this will be fixed in the first update.

Does iPhoto 5 Work With TIFF Pictures ?

I always thought that iPhoto worked exclusively with jpegs and that if you imported any other format it would be converted to jpeg.
I was therefore surprised when I imported some TIFF files and they remained full size TIFFs.
Can anyone explain or shed any light on this?
Was it jpegs only in earlier versions?
Ian.

Thanks Niel.
I actually found a book with the answer a couple of hours after posting but could not use my computer to let people know.
I am now wondering where I got this firmly held belief that iPhoto only worked with jpegs - normally I use Photoshop, but have recently discovered that iPhoto does some things a lot easier!
Ian.
