IPhoto update help

Hi,
I recently installed Leopard on my PowerBook G4 that previously had Panther running. I have been trying to download the most recent iPhoto updates but I keep getting the message that "An eligible iPhoto application was not found in the location /Applications." which I am assuming means that I have a really old version of iPhoto and that I need to download older updates first before downloading newer ones. I tried loading updates as early as 4.0.3 and got the same message. Help!

You need to purchase iLife to upgrade. Free updaters will not change the first digit of the version number except for the now-pulled iPhoto 2 download.

  • IPhoto update can't be installed on my MAC ref. "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." this is not possible help?

    Recent upgrade to OS X Yosemite on my MAC and iPhoto update can not  now be installed msg reads, "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." this is not possible help?

    That error message can be misleading. It means, that iPhoto on your Mac is not associated with your Apple ID.
    Either you did not set up  your Mac using the same Apple ID - did someone help with your setup and use a different ID? Perhaps a family member? Or did you let someone borrow your installer disks?
    Or did you not yet "Accept" iPhoto and other iLife apps to your Apple ID? Check the "Purchased" tab of the App Store, if any applications are waiting to be accepted. If you see "Accept" buttons, press them.
    You may  be unable to "Accept" now, if you missed the update to iphoto 9.5.1 on Mavericks. You could try to buy iPhoto, however. If you are lucky, it may show for free.
    Backup your iPhoto library, if you do not have a current backup.
    Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the Applications folder, but do not empty the Trash, so you can put it 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/

  • Some of my photo's won't enlarge in my recent update to iPhoto 11 help please.

    I recently upgraded to iphoto 11 and some picture wont enlarge when you double click on them and also when I click on print in the left pane the program locks up.

    Hi jefffromnitro,
    Try restarting your iMac and see if that solves the problem. If that doesn't work go to the menu bar and choose Apple > Software Update... . There may be an important iPhoto update that you've missed.
    Hope this helps,
    O.C.

    You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
    You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

  • IPhoto update from iLife06 won't open HP Scans. Help?

    I decided to install iLife06 and had instant problems. I have a 2.5 Dual G5 running 10.3.9. and am using an HP 4890 scanner. Prior to installing the iPhoto update as part of iLIfe06, everything worked fine. I would scan a photo and transfer it to iPhoto and open it and work on it and whatever. Now...scans won't open in iPhoto. No matter how I try to sneak the scan into iPhoto, (via Preview, etc.), it won't open, freezes and has to be force quit. Reinstalled HP software to no avail. All the prior scans done on the same HP 4890, that were already in iPhoto, open fine, but new ones....nada. Had issue with iWeb too, not happy with this iLife06...how do I get rid of it, get back the old iPhoto, and back to serenity? If I use the original disks can I just install the old iPhoto?

    Hi redcatres,
    I do not know the answer of why the scans are not opening in iPhoto. Do you scan and save to a folder (not the iPhoto Library folder), then import into iPhoto?
    To get back to iPhoto 5, you would really need a backup of the iPhoto 5 Library folder that has not been updated to version 6 in order to keep your metadata such as comments and keywords, and also all your albums, slideshows, books.
    You can go back to 5 if you do not have a version 5 backup, but you will have to reimport your photos and lose your metadata.
    Steps:
    To reinstall iPhoto 5
    Drag the iPhoto Library folder in the Pictures folder to the desktop and rename it it iPhoto 6 library
    Navigate to /Applications and drag iPhoto to the trash
    Navigate to /Library/Receipts and drag all iPhoto receipts to the trash
    Navigate to ~/Library/Preferences and drag com.apple.iPhoto.plist to the trash.
    Insert your iLife 5 CD/DVD and choose to do a custom install. You will have to keep ongoing through the steps of the install before you get to the screen where you can choose a custom install.
    Install iPhoto.
    Run Software Update and update iPhoto to the latest version of 5
    Put your backup iPhoto 5 library in the Pictures folder and launch iPhoto.
    If you do not have a backup iPhoto 5 library:
    Open the iPhoto 6 library folder on the desktop
    -double click the iPhoto Library folder on the desktop to open it
    -the two main folders you will need to import are the Original folder and the Modified folder (only if you want to import the edited images).
    -the Originals folder has all your originals photos unedited. the Modified folder has all images that you have edited, rotated, cropped, etc.
    -Drag these two folders to the desktop
    -If you want to save the edited image, find it in the roll in the Modified folder and drag it into the roll of the same name in the Originals folder. It will replace the originals and now will be the original.
    -If you don't care to save any edited images, then don't import the Modified folder into iPhoto or don't bother replacing the edited image with the original image like I just described.
    -If you import the Originals folder into iPhoto you will have all your originals in their named rolls.
    -If you import the Originals and Modified folders into iPhoto, you will have all of the being in the originals folder in the finder. The roll with the same name as the other will have a _1 appended to it's name (in the finder)
    -the roll from the originals will be next to the same roll from the Modified folder within iPhoto. You can then delete any of the images from there if you want.
    I know this might sound confusing but it really isn't.
    Get back if any of this sounds like something you might want to do.

  • HT1338 With recent iphoto update, i can't seem to open any photos.  They appear but when i dble click to select a photo to work with, no luck.  Any help?

    With recent iphoto update, i am having problems opening individual photos.  The photos are there when i scroll through, but when i select one to work with, nothing opens. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for your reply.  I did this, but I still can't open any photos when clicked on; "Faces"  don't appear over names; when I try to upload a photo while in facebook...I can't.  I think this is when i first discovered the problem.  Don't know what else to do except take in laptop.

  • IPhoto updates... help save my Christmas gift!!

    Hi, I was trying to order my yearly xmas calendar via iPhoto, but was unable to order as iPhoto 7 was no longer compatible. I have an iMac8.1,previously running OS X 10.5.8.  After speaking to my friendly Apple store staff, i was told to purchae the software to upgrade to Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.8) in order to get the App store feature for my dock. I thereafter attempted to buy the newest version of iPhoto, but apparently i need O X 10.9.
    AmI going to have to purchase serial software updates until I reach the pinnacle of 10.9 in order to get to a point where iPhoto will work for me?? I suppose I could restart the entire projecyt on my newer MacBook, but would like to avoid transferring allmy photos ( and yes, i'm still in the dark ages pre iCloud, which ultimately may be the simplest answer ??).
    If anyone advise on the simplest way to get the necessary upgarde to iPhoto to complete my Calendar project , I'd much appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Ang

    Thanks Terence,
    With your simple advice, I was able to upgard to Maverick and the iPhoto update thereafter was a free update as well!
    Cheers!

  • Need Help in iPhoto '11 Help??

    Hi, i have updated my iPhoto '11 to Version 9.2.1 (628). And had to lookup a topic in iPhoto '11 Help, and it says "To see all iPhoto Help, you must be connected to the Internet". Then I tested Browse Help topics, and the result I get are all the same. So I quit the application. And restarted iPhoto '11. When into iPhoto '11 Help and pick any topic to test. The same "To see all iPhoto Help, you must be connected to the Internet". But I am connected to the Internet. Can somebody assist me.

    Hi & many thanks for the reply. I made sure that iPhoto is not running by looking ito Force Quit Applications window. I did 2nd time, as instructed. Just to inform you, i can see and have iCal Version 4.0.4 (1395.7) Help which connects to the internet when i invoke a help topic in iCal. I can see and have Aperture V3.2.1 Help open the Safari to connect to the Internet to show Help topics and solutions. I can access, read, and point at any Help Topics of every application i have installed and with internet connection. Maybe I maybe describing the problem as the computer says it.
    When I invoke iPhoto '11 Help, I can see the iPhoto '11 Help. But once I click say "Lesson 1..." I get the message of the Help on the right pane of the Help pane...

  • IPhoto update to 8.1.1:no longer able to sync photos to AppleTV with iTunes

    I have Itunes 9.0.2 (25) and just updated iPhoto 8.1.1 (419) and when I try to synch with my AppleTv 3.0.1 I get an error -50 trying to sync the photos. If I unselect photo sync it will work sync just fine.
    Also I am now unable to select individual events or photos. That option is now grayed out in ITunes. Did this new update change the iPhoto library format so it is not recognized by iTunes?
    I have tried reinstalling both iTunes and iPhoto no help. I also rebuilt the iPhoto library
    Help!

    I found the problem. This is a new bug introduced in 8.1 of iPhoto.
    According to iPhotoManager:
    Another recently introduced problem, which appears to only happen with iPhoto 8.1, has to do with music that you've assigned to a custom slideshow. If you have created a slideshow in iPhoto, and using the "Settings" button, have assigned a song from your iTunes library to be played with that slideshow, then if that song has an ampersand (&) character anywhere in the path to the music file (this can include the name of the artist, the album, or the song itself), iPhoto does not write it out correctly to the XML file and you get an error. If you do have a music file assigned to a slideshow, you will either need to assign a different song, or remove any ampersands in the path to the song and re-select the same song in iPhoto to update it to the new location. (make sure to click "Apply" in the settings window to make your change "stick").
    This was my problem. I had a song from Simon & Garfunkel in a slideshow and the Path to the song had the & that was malformed.
    I removed the slideshow and I am now working.
    Apple please fix this bug. I wasted over 5 hours until I went and purchased iPhoto Library Manager and it immediately pointed out the problem.

  • After iPhoto update some photos go black when trying to edit them and am unable to edit those photos

    After iPhoto update some photos go black when trying to edit them and am unable to edit those photos. How do I fix this as this is the latest update?

    If I hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto, I get the option to start a new library. Do I have to import all my thousands of photos into the new library?
    In his original post the poster referenced the following. As to the new Library, see the end.
    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. *Permissions in the Library* : 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. *Minor Database corruption*: 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.
    3. *A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. *A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. *A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *If none of these help*:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    Regards

  • Losing Keychains from iPhoto Update

    Since the iPhoto update yesterday, when I attempt to click on Mobile Me to upload a gallery, I get prompted to keep my current keychains or update them (nothing new). However, when I click to update them (which I usually do), I lose them ALL and I can no longer access any secure sites, including Mobile Me.
    My iMac basically becomes non-functional as far as internet/email/networking/etc. Although, if I re-start my computer, my keychains return but I am once again prompted in iPhoto to update them. If I say no, it will keep asking me.
    Help???

    Andrew:
    First quit iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and try again. If that doesn't jump start your MMe access give the following a try:

    After waiting a day for the rolling restore to happen, I called AppleCare because Apple had sent an email saying my service was back, and it wasn't. I still could send and not receive using Mail.
    Here is what fixed it. Go to MobileMe (terrible name) in System Preferences, log out. Then enter a garbage name and password and try to log in. This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences. Then enter your real UserName and PassWord. For me this was lights on.
    I am left wondering how long ago I could have had email had I known this preference reset scheme.
    Although it's for a Mail problem it will let you flush out the MobileMe preferences and enter your user name and password for a fresh start. See if that will help.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • IPhoto Update Problem

    I updated my software as usual, including an iPhoto update.  The install of the update worked well until the program began updating my iPhoto library.  The updating got to step 5 and 99% complete.  It gets to this point again and again and never moves forward.  It is like I am in one of those internal loops of the olden days.  What can I do?  Please help.  Davis

    force quit, Back up your iPhoto library, Depress the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library
