Iphoto update from the AppStore

Hi, i'm trying to download an update for iphoto from the AppStore but i get an error message suggesting to sign in with the account I use to purchase iPhoto, which is irrelevant since iphoto was already installed when i puchased my macbook - therefore signing into my account doesn't work.

If iPhoto came preinstalled on your Mac, you need to accept it to your AppleID. Then you can upgrade it from the  "Updates" panel at the App Store.
Have you alredy accepted the iLife Aplications?
If not:
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them.

  • IPhoto updates from App store.

    Would anyone know why iPhoto updates from the App store seem to take ages to load.   
    They always seem quite large in content and for all I know could be replacing the entire
    iPhoto program.

    It seems pretty much in line to me.
    You have a 14000 kps download speed. That's about 1.4 MB per second - but... That's assuming you have only one download going, depends on the contention rate of the ISP, how fast your Mac can write to the HD and how fast the output from the server is.
    So, there can be considerable variation from download to download depending on these factors.
    But even if you divide the size of the download by the nominal speed (and divide that buy 60 to get minutes) you'll see that it's not far off. So, 740/1.4/60 you get 8.8 minutes or thereabouts.
    When your App checks for updates it basically says something like "Hello, I'm iPhoto v9.1.5, do you have an update for me". That's really all that Apple know. The update mechanism on your Mac performs a similar equation to get an estimate of the time.

  • My Air won't do anything, I can't move the mouse and the keys won't respond. It came after an OS update from the Mac Appstore. HELP!

    After an OS update, from the Mac Appstore my Air won't do anything.
    I updated OSX from the appstore, and I restarted my laptop. Now I'm in the choose profile screen and nothing happends. At all. I can't move the mouse, the keys aren't responding etc.

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Air forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • Can't Update Apps from the Appstore

    I have all the latest OS updates for my macbook pro and it seems like I can't update my apps that I have downloaded from the appstore.  I have logged into the appstore and iTunes and also have made sure the information in the account are correct and up to date.  When I open the appstore I click on updates and it says, "All Apps Are Up to Date" but when I click on "Purchased," it clearly shows that there are updates available.  When I click on update it says that I need to be signed in in-order to update the apps.  I AM signed into the appstore and iTunes.  What is going on here?  I tried emailing support for Apple and they couldn't even help me.  I know there are people having the same issues.  Can someone point me to the right direction or have any advices to fix this issue?  Its very annoying unistalling an app and to reinstall just to update it.  Thank you in advance.

    I had just posted a thread regarding a similar issue, except it's attempting to "load" all of my apps again. This includes loading old apps that were previously deleted off my iphone. It's annoying. I can't even access these apps to delete them. This renders my phone useless...

  • Since updating to IOS7 I cannot download Apps from the AppStore

    Since updating to IOS 7 I cannot download any Apps from the AppStore.

    make sure the correct appleID is set in
    settings->itunes & app stores

  • Ever since I have updated my software to iOS 7, I cannot download anything from the AppStore app and I have tried resetting my password and updating ITunes, but nothing works! Please help!

    Ever since I have updated my software to iOS 7, I cannot download anything from the AppStore app and I have tried resetting my password and updating ITunes, but nothing works! Also when I try to sink my mini with my iTunes account it says you cannot sync because the sync session failed to start.

    It sounds like to me you're trying to sync using the computer.
    Try these things and see if it helps before you try your next syncing session. If none of the things below work then you might consider trying to sync using iCloud only.
    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • While upgrade the Apps from the appstore it shows upgrade for another apple id?

    While I saw apps update I tried to update it but it says "the update is for another apple id"
    I use mountain lion in my macbook pro 13" and it's genuine means I bought it from the appstore under my apple id. It's not a crack version.
    can anybody help me about it.
    Every software I can upgrade except imovie and iphotos.
    thanks in advance

    Sorry for late reply, but I had no internet last few days. Anyway, first of all thank you for reply. As your questions reply the Macbook I bought is second hand.
    another stranger's apple id appear only for updating iphoto and imovie, nothing else. (when I bought the Macbook it had OS Lion but I installed OS Mountain lion and which I bought through my Apple id, I bought that Mountain Lion for my iMac though.)
    But I didn't register my ilife apps anywhere what you mentioned. Should I have to do it? if I have to then how?
    your mentioned app i life do not show up in my purchases. (But if I search for imovie or iphoto in my purchase list it shows installed)
    when you get time please answer me.

  • How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store?

    How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store? So you understand better what I'm referring to:
    I have the App Store icon in the Dock. When there's an update a red number appears on said icon. Well, I went to check on the updates and it's for 4 different applications I either no longer have or use. One of them is an update for Lion OS users. I'm still on Snow Leopard, so it doesn't even apply to me.
    So there they sit... I'm not going to download the updates... so how do I get rid of them?

    Hi Andy ..
    no longer have or use
    If there are updates available for apps you have deleted, try this.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Move the Cache.db and Updates files from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
    Empty the Trash, restart your Mac.
    For any apps you still have installed but do not use, the updates will still be available from the Updates top of the App Store window and show on the red badge on the App Store icon in the Dock.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Uninstalling iPhoto Update from iLife

    Does anyone know how to uninstall the iPhoto update from iLife (and even for iMovie too)? I really don't like the new iPhoto as simple things are now more difficult or aren't available anymore. The changes seem more superficial as I haven't found any new tools or processes that help. Don't even get me started on the iMovie problems. Please tell me there is a way to go back.

    iPhoto 7 did not make things harder to do, in fact it is virtually identical to the previous version!
    I generally agree - But a few things are different and there is a requirement that a user LEARN how to use the new features and those that have changed - for doing that you get a greatly expanded capability so IMHO it is a great trade off - but for a user who is unable or unwilling to learn a few new things it can be difficult - as can ANY new version of ANY new software

    I know my way around the iphone and i cant delete it by holding it and pressing x and tapping to restart or resume the download doesnt nothing... it just stays there, so please somebody help me.

  • Point a client to get software updates from the local OS X Server

    I have an OS X Server that's serving only clients as a File Share device that I would like to use for Software Updates. There are three Mac Clients and a bunch of iOS clients. How do I use Software updates from the Server? I read the instructions on configuration but have the following questions:
    Where do I find the correct port and catalog file name?
    The instruction specify a port of 8088 and a catalog of 'index.sucatalog" in the example. Is this always the case?
    I can write to the .plist specified but cannot read from it (get an error). I can see that the file has been written and the data is correct. What's wrong?

    Apple's Software Update Server only provides updates for Apple Mac software. It does not provide updates for Mac Applications via the AppStore nor does it provide any updates for iOS devices.
    Apple's Caching Server works differently. When a Mac or iOS device on your network requests an update from either the Mac AppStore or the iOS AppStore this will then be 'cached' on the server so that next time a device requests the same update it is available locally.
    The URL for a local Software Update Server would be of the form
    http://server.domain.com:8088/index.sucatalog
    This would be written on a client Mac as follows
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://server.domain.com:8088/index.sucatalog
    It would be read on a client Mac as follows
    defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
    Note: Older versions of OS X had a version of the defaults command which did not like you including the file extension of the plist file so in the past the following would fail.
    defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist CatalogURL
