IPhoto update failure after updating to yosemite

Updated to yosemite, now I can't use iPhoto without updating that too.
Error message when I try to update iPhoto : "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled". Neither is true, no other option or explanation given. The iPhoto was bundled with the computer when I bought it in 2009, never had any updating problems until now, checked Apple ID and it is the correct one. This was obviously caused by the update so why is a fix not obviously available. Makes me wonder what other problems will arise.
How can I get the proper update?

That means, that iPhoto has not been associated with your AppleID. You do not say, which iPhoto version you are trying to update from.
Associating iPhoto with your AppleID should have happened, when you bought the computer with iPhoto preinstalled with MacOS X Lion or later or with the Mavericks upgrade, if your Mac came with SnowLeopard. Try, if you can "accept" iPhoto now:
Sign into the AppStore with your AppleID
Open the "Purchased" tab. Do you see iPhoto with an "Accept" button?
Accepting associates your Apple ID with the preinstalled iPhoto. It should move iPhoto from the "Accept" portion of the App Store to the "Purchased" tab. After that, you should be able to update iPhoto from the Updates tab of the AppStore.
If you do you not see the update there, try to buy iPhoto. iPhoto may show for free, so you do not have to pay again.
Backup your iPhoto library, if you do not have a current backup.
Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the Applications folder, otherwise you cannot buy it again. But do not empty the Trash, so you can put iPhoto back, if need be.
Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
Open the main page "Featured" of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
After you update iPhoto, your iPhoto Library will need upgrading. Make a backup of your iPhoto Library, before you open iPhoto the first time after updating.

IPhoto update for Yosemite

I updated to Yosemite and iPhoto won't work till I update it. How do I update it? I don't see anything at Apple's website that gives me a clear way to do it.

Open the Mac App Store, click on Updates, and update it.

Can't download iPhoto update in Yosemite

Hi!
I just updated my laptop to Yosemite. I had a really out of date operating system before... maybe Snow Leopard? I can't remember, not sure if that's relevant. Anyway...
iPhoto has a greyed out slash out symbol over it, and it says it needs to be updated. When I go to update in the Mac App Store it says "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
Why is it saying this? How do I fix it?? Will I lose all my photos? They're all there. Can I downgrade and put the photos on an external?cent
Also I just recently made this Apple ID but I downloaded Yosemite with it. I tried logging into the Mac App store with the old Apple ID and I got the same message so I am confused. I just want my photos!
Thank you

Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept them into your Apple ID, do so.
2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
4. Buy them.

That feature is carrier dependent. If you carrier does not want to make that ability available to you, the switch won't appear.

IPhoto - Backup failure after transfer to new Mac

I just migrated everything over from my iMac to the new Mac Pro and plugged in the external hard drive I'd been using to back files up using the .Mac utility "Backup." I made no changes to the schedules I'd set up previously. All backup schedules are working except for the iPhoto one. I get a "Backup has failed" message after it works away for a while. Does this imply my iPhoto file is corrupt in some way, or what might be happening here?
Help appreciated as always.

After upgrading to Yosemite I had to upgrade iPhoto and now it says I need to update my photo library or it will be lost...HELP

After upgrading to Yosemite, I had to upgrade iPhoto. Now when I try to open iPhoto I get the following message:
The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version iPhoto.
Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete .
Question is...how do i upgrade the photo library?

You can't back up an open iPhoto...
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Cannot download Iphoto after updated to Yosemite

I cannot update Iphoto anymore after updated to Yosemite. The system popped up a small window and showed that: update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. But it is my own account, I just changed the password.
Please help me to solve this problem.

That means, that your AppleID is not associated with the iPhoto version you have installed.
Which version of iPhoto do you currently have? Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID (in the Store" menu).
If iPhoto came preinstalled on your Mac, check the "Purchases" tab of the App Store, if there is an "Accept" button besides iPhoto. If yes, accept iPhoto to associate it with your Apple ID. Then try again to update.
If that does not work, uninstall iPhoto - move the iPhoto app from the Applications folder to the Trash and then go to the "Featured" tab of the App Store, search for iPhoto using the Search field, then press the "Get" button to install iPhoto again, this time with your current AppleID:

I cannot run iPhoto after update to Yosemite. I cannot update iPhoto because the application store does not have any iPhoto update available. Anyone can advice how to overcome this hassle?

After update to Yosemite 10.10.3 the iPhoto program icon is banned and there is an error message that an update is required to run iPhoto, but the application store shows a message that iPhoto does not have any update available at this time. There is not even any iPhoto program available on the application store. Any suggestion on how to solve this annoyance?

Unfortunately, Apple has removed both iPhoto and Aperture from the Mac App Store so they cannot be downloaded anymore. This means you are forced to migrate to Photos (included in OS X 10.10.3) or, if this app does not include features you need, look for a different app.
Not true. Apple has removed both Apps from App Store so you cannot buy them anymore. But if you have any of these Apps already purchased in the past, then you can still download them on your Mac.

Open App Store, sign in with your Apple ID and go to Purchases tab. If you see iPhoto app listed there close down the App Store and do this steps as this is what worked for me:
Open Finder and go to Applications folder.
Locate iPhoto app
Drag iPhoto app from your Applications folder to Trash (NOTE: Do not emptied Trash yet)
Open App Store app and navigate to Purchases tab.
Click on Install button which is next to the iPhoto app (on the right hand side).
Once iPhoto is downloaded again, test it if its working for you. If all is ok, you can remove your Trash.

After I updated to Yosemite I can't see my Iphoto library in the attachments window. When I select Media - Pictures only my Photo Booth Library Comes up

After I updated to Yosemite I can't see my Iphoto library in the attachments window. When I select Media ->Pictures only my Photo Booth Library Comes up

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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this?

When I double click on the icon, nothing happens. When I choose it from alternate menu, doesn't open. Where do I get help?

Do you have a back up? What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1

After upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto won't open, update not allowed

Recently updated to Yosemite and now my iPhoto can't be opened, I tried to update the app from the App Store but it tells me that I am not the original purchaser (I am, I've never had another Apple account).

Recently updated to Yosemite and now my iPhoto can't be opened, I tried to update the app from the App Store but it tells me that I am not the original purchaser (I am, I've never had another Apple account).
The error message is not very appropriate. It essentially means, that the iPhoto that is currently installed on your Mac is not associated with your AppleID. It may suffice to accept iphoto and other iLife applications to your AppleID.
Sign into the App Store with your AppleID (from the Store menu), open the "Purchases" tab and check, if there are any preinstalled apps that need accepting. Then press the "Accept" button.
Now try again to update or reinstall.
If iPhoto does not show on the Purchases tab at all, delete iPhoto from the applications folder (don't empty the Trash), then go to the main tab of the Apple Store (the Featured tab), enter iPhoto in the search field, and install.

Tried to open iPhoto after update to yosemite, won't open/no photos??

Recent update to Yosemite, iPhoto won't open,,,,,,are all my pictures lost??

Your pictures are probably not lost, but still safe in your iPhoto Library.
But the big problem is, that you will need iPhoto 9.6.1 - that is the only compatible version for Yosemite. If you did not purchase this version before yesterday, you cannot purchase it any longer, because Apple stopped selling iPhoto at the App Store.
Try, if the AppStore will let you update iPhoto from the Updates page of the AppStore, this might be possible, if iPhoto is showing among your Purchases on the Purchased page.
Otherwise, make a backup of your iPhoto Library and then open it in the new Photos.app. Launch Photos while holding down the alt/optionss key and select your iPhoto Library. This will migrate the iPhoto Library to a Photos library and let you browse your photos.

IPhoto not "installing" after updating to Yosemite

I have just updated to Yosemite.
My old iPhoto won't work.
I try to download the latest version of iPhoto, which says is downloading, but when the download ends it never installs.
Correction - the "Instal" doesn't complete.
The site just says "Installing" but it never completes.

Here's the deal....First I backed up my iPhoto Library; downloaded the iPhoto Updater 4 times; each try it popped up on my desktop within seconds and
did its thing; I continued to click on iPhoto in the dock and application folder and was lost in that loop.
FINALLY I searched "This Mac" for iPhoto and hidden amongst the gems was the app "iPhoto LIbrary Upgrader."
I'll be ****...
Click, open, update, upgrade and up my #%@
It worked like Apple said it would.
Good luck and good night.

After updating to Yosemite I cannot open iPhoto!! Help!

I updated to Yosemite yesterday and now I cannot open iPhoto. From anywhere! Has anyone else found this problem? Solution?

You need to update iPhoto to a version that works with Yosemite. Download it from the Mac App Store.
