Trying to open old iPhoto library on osx 10.9.5 with iPhoto 9.5.1. iPhoto says I must upgrade but upgrade eventually hangs. Tried to rebuild/repair database but it always says you have to upgrade database first and eventually hangs

Trying to open old iPhoto library on osx 10.9.5 with iPhoto 9.5.1. iPhoto says I must upgrade but upgrade eventually hangs. Tried to rebuild/repair database but it always says you have to upgrade database first and eventually hangs

What version was the old library made with?
What is the exact message? when it hangs does it crash or do you have to force quit?

I updated to Yosemite. iPhoto says I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the version I need is not available in the US. Thus iPhoto won't work or even open at this point

I updated to the yosemite system. My iPhoto says I need to update to the latest version for it to work with yosemite. The app store searches and then states the version I need is not available in the US. Currently I cannot use iPhoto. Suggestions?

Csound1,
Thanks for the hint about not emptying the trash. I will try to work on this tonight or tomorrow morning and let you know if "this helped me".
Russell,
If you go into the iLife support forum for iPhoto, there are a couple good threads. Basically, iPhoto can't be downloaded by anyone anywhere in the world unless the app store has it listed in your "purchases" list. The threads contain a lot of steps and it looks like this could be difficult for novices like me.
Rysz,
I will also look at the link you provided before I get started. Thanks.

What can I do when iPhoto says it needs an software update but can't find it??

Hi there,
I had issues with the HD from my old Mac mini.
So I installed Mac OS X snow leopard on an external HD.
Next step was installing iPhoto from a cd.
When I try to start it, it says it needs a software update.
Only when I search for it, it says it can't find a software uPdate for iPhoto??
What can I do to solve this problem. I always enjoyed iPhoto and it ***** that I can't use it now
Thanks in advance

Back up your iPhoto library and Download the 9.1 iPhoto update and install it

IPhoto videos will not play after OSX Lion upgrade

My old iPhoto videos uploaded from my iPod won't open since it's been updated to OSX Lion... but the new videos uploaded since the upgrade could be played! The thumbnail displays the video but when I click it, a grey triangle with an exclamation point inside it shows up!
What do I have to do to be able to play all my other videos?

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. .

I did upgrade to 8 and no confirmation, still says I need upgrade, so now what?

Instructions for upgrade says at end of process, when prompted, place safari icon in applications. Never got prompt. When I go online still get prompt to upgrade. All 9 downloads are on desktop screen.
Now no longer able to get security seal, says to set up new account (I did), but does not accept .net addys, so now have yahoo.com alternate accnt and still no security seal ...

You need to delete content from the iPad and/or update it from iTunes on a computer.
iCloud storage is separate from that on the devices.

I am getting a error message that says I need upgrade Quicktime 7.5.5

but then when I access a download site and run the download, I get a text edit mess and not a download of software. How can I get a Quicktime update so that I can use iTunes (the whole program is stopped)

When I try to start up iTunes, I get the 'need to upgrade to Quicktime 7.5.5' error message. So no iTunes. I've tried several download sites and none will download. Some say my computer is too old (I have OS 10.5 so this shouldn't be a problem) and others just download symbols. Do you have a fix?

IPhoto on Mini needs upgrade because I accessed from laptop??

I have 8.1.2 on the laptop and apparently 7.1.5 on the Mini, and by accessing the iPhoto library on the mini, it made the mini's iPhoto inoperable. Both computers have the same OS X, 10.5.8.
The message I am getting is...
You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto.
Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
Then, when I hit the Quit button, iPhoto closes, leaving me no chance to check the version, or upgrade. I only found out the version by using the Library Manager.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Styve

If I go with option 2, how do I do that if I cannot even open iPhoto on the mini?
You don't need to open iPhoto to update the iPhoto application
I also have a back-up hard-drive, but I have never used it to retrieve applications.
In this case it's the Library you want to recover, not the app.

Upgraded ilife last week-update today says library needs upgrade to work

The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
Library will not be readable by previous versions afterwards.

You will just have to search for game that interests you and then see the Requirements section to see if it is compatible with the 1G with iOS 3.1.3..

Cannot print photos in iPhoto-says I need a theme?

When I enter iPhoto, select 4 photos that I want to print, then click File>Print, a window pops up that says 'No Avaliable Themes'- There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavaliable. What does this mean?!? I cannot go any farther that that! I have no idea what a theme even is, and I have been able to print picture perfectly fine in the past. I have iPhoto '08. I need help! what does this mean?! What can I do about it?!?! ANY help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks---C

It looks like you installed the Library Upgrader, but did not run it. It is installed in "Applications > Utilities". Launch this tool and click the "Choose Library" button to direct it to your iPhoto library.

Iphoto is saying i need to upgrade the version but there is no upgrade available.

I downloaded the latest yosemete os and after that i wasn't able to get iphoto to work. Its saying i need to upgrade it but under updates there is none available.

Go to the Applications folder and move any iPhoto application there to the Trash bin in the Dock. Don't empty it at this time.
Go back to the App store and look for iPhoto again. See if you can't download it now. If there's still issues contact the App Store support personnel via this website: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/.
To take a screenshot of a selected area of the screen use this key combination:
Command-Shift-4
Capture a selection of the screen to a file, or press the spacebar to capture just a window
Which is from this Apple document: OS X: Keyboard shortcuts - Apple Support

IPhoto 9.5 says to use Upgrader tool, but Upgrader says no need?

I have a 2008 iMac which was on Snow Leopard and had iPhoto '08. I upgraded to Mavericks tonight and purchased the latest version of iPhoto so I could finally sync all my photos across devices using iCloud. When I opened iPhoto after upgrading though, it says I need to prepare my iPhoto library using the iPhoto Library Upgrader:
I download, install, then open the iPhoto Library Upgrader only to find that it says it's not necessary:
***? I can't open iPhoto at all because it's stuck at the first screenshot above.
What to do??
Thanks a ton!

photosb189 is right. The download page for the updater has finally been corrected and offers the right updater: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1523
