IPhoto update issue July 2012

Question

i tried to update iphoto and it got stuck at 99%... for hours..

Answer 1

Back at this abgain.  The version of iPhoto I have on the newer Mac Book is 9.3, and was last updated (automatically) on 13 JUN 2012.
The older version, operating on OS 10.6.8, is version 9.0, and was last autoupdated on 26 MAY 2012.
To recap, both versions of iPhoto are displaying issues.  I rovided screen shots last night from the older version, 9.0. 
Following is a series of screen shots to demonstrate what appears when attempting to open iPhoto on the OS LION system, iPhoto version (9.3).
The timeout wheel spins indefinately until I select "QUIT" and close the window.  Nothing happens, unless I select upgrade.  If I do that, a series of status bar windows appear.  Sequencing fairly quickly through 1-9 steps.  I estimate it takes about 60 seconds for the status bars to cycle through "Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and then on STEP 9, this window appears.
The timeout wheel continues indefinately--until you "FORCE QUIT" the process.
If you attempt to open iPhoto again, the update status bars appear again, and cycle through all 1-8 steps, terminating at the identical window as above.  The cycle is unbreakable.
Does this help?  Any additional instructions?
