Iphoto version conflict
I copied the same question as someone in 2011 but this 2014 and I don't see any answers. It still just gives you the option to quit. Nothing is resolved
You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library? I updated to the Maverick operating system and hated it and so reinstalled my system from the time machine. If I reinstalled my photo library from my backup, why am I getting this message? I even tried updating just iphoto to the version just short of the Maverick version, but it still does not work. I may have to just deal with Maverick, but I really don't like it. My email is messed up and iMovie is really not good. Anyone out there who has any answers, please help me.
first off you need to provide details
what version of he OS and of iPhoto do you curently have installed? (your profile says OS X 10.9.2 butyour post implies differently
Do you have a backup of your iPhoto library from before you upgraded iPhoto? The warning that you got when you upgraded that stated that if you allowed the upgrade the library would not be able to be used with prevous versions is correct as you are finding out)
You can try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

I cannot download photos from my digital camera (via a cable) to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to do this successfully up til 4 days ago but not yesterday (Dec. 25th). My camera/device is recognized in the Source List, but when it tries to download the photos, all I get are the words "Loading Photos" in the area where the thumbnail pictures usually display. The little "gear" symbol next to the words but it just goes round and round. Nothing ever downloads, and instead of showing me how many pictures there are to import it just says "No photos". So therefore I cannot import the photos to my library since they won't even download.
I was getting an error message a few days ago that my Iphoto library was getting full, so I emptied my trash in both Iphoto and on my computer. I had this same problem back in October and emptying the trash and getting rid of some photos did help (can I really be using that much storage space for the pictures?). But it didn't help this time.
Any suggestions as to what to do to solve the problem? I would try taking the SD card out and inserting that into the slot on the computer to see if I could load pictures that way; but the last time I did that, they wouldn't load. Not sure if I lost pics from the disc or not.
Thank you,
Novice501. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now? -
our old iMac died suddenly, but i had backed up the iPhoto application to a lacie external hard drive. however, when i try to open it in my new iMac which is installed with version 9.5.1 and is upgraded to maverick, it comes up with “cannot be opened, to open you must upgrade to latest version” and then makes you press the quit button.
the iPhoto version on the external hard drive is iPhoto 9.4.2 which i upgraded on 29/11/12 onto our old iMac (early 2007 version)
my new iMac is running on version OSX 10.9.1
i have looked at buying iphoto library manager and have emailed them about whether this would work, but any advice would be gratefully received as i cannot be the only person that has had this problem but i cannot find any answers that work.
thanks
JulieYOu can rebuild with Library Manager and this does not require a purchase:
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. -

I cannot open iPhoto after latest apple upgrade. Getting message latest iPhoto version is not available in the US.Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always. -
I have a Mac Book Pro with iPhoto version 9.5.1 Can I delete more that one photo at a time? Thanks!!
I have Mac Book Pro with iPhoto version 9.5.1. Is there a way to delete more than one photo at a time? Thanks!!!
Hi LarryJackie,
When you go into Photos (or an Album or Event), click on the first photo you want to delete. If you want to delete a whole selection of photos in a row, hold down the Shift key, and then click on the last photo in the section you want to delete. All of the photos will be selected. Then click on Photos in the top menu and click on Move to Trash.
If you want to select photos that are not in a row, then click on the first photo, then hold down the Command key, then click on other photos you want to select. Keep the Command key held down until you have selected all of the photos you want. Then click on Photos in the top menu and then Move to Trash.
Cheers,

My camera Canon G3 (i know it's old) no longer connects to iPhoto (8.1.2) on my iMac, I have checked with my friends iMac same model iPhoto version and it works fine using my cable, I would appreciate any help getting this sorted
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) 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? -
How do I transfer all photos from my Imac, IPhoto version 7.1.5, to another Imac, IPhoto version 9.2, but keep the two sets of photos separate
You need to clarify what you are asking.
An iphoto installation has two major parts: 1. The application or program - that's the software and 2. The Library - that's where your actual pictures are.
So when you say:
I want to keep using the old Iphoto program on the new Imac. There is already an IPhoto program on the new Imac but I do not want to add or delete from that one.
It sounds like you want to move the application and not the Library. Most folks want to move the Library, and it makes no sense to have two versions of the application on your mac. -
iPhoto 08 Version 7.1.5 with 510 gb in a single library. I move it to a hd but can't open in a new mac with iphoto version 8. It rebuilds and then stops. What to do?
Select your My Book Studio for Mac icon on your Desktop and type Command + i to bring up its Info pane. Check the formatting. It should look like this:
If it's not formatted as such you'll need to reformat it after backing up what's on there now.

What iPhoto version is compatible with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and will it let me make photo calendars?
What iPhoto version is compatible with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and will it let me make photo calendars?
I have just upgraded from Leopard to Lion (via Snow Leopard) because I could no longer order photo calendars with iphoto 7.1.5. However, I still have iphoto 7.1.5 and need to upgrade this. From the App store it looks as though I cannot get iphoto 9.5.1 due to the incompatibility with Lion. I was recemmended not to upgrade beyond Lion due to the age of my iMac computer (2008 version) by Stormfront staff.
What is the best iphoto to upgrade to and how do I do this e.g. iLife '09 or '11, or are there any other 'stand-alone' versions of iphoto that would be compatible? How do I know whether my computer is capable of upgrading to Mountain Lion? I definitely want to be able to make photo calendars, books and cards.
ThanksiPhoto '09 or '11 - purchase an iLife '09 or '11 DVD (amazon or eBay are potential sources) and install iPhoto and update to the latest version for your OS

I have an 2008 model MacBook running OSX 10.6.8 with an iphoto version 7.1.5. The services using this iphoto version are no longer offered. Will my MacBook run the newer iPhoto versions?
You can run iPhoto 9.2.3 with the system you currently have. It's available thru iLife 11 as Niel has already mentioned.

hallo, after upload iPad air and iPhone 5 to iOS 8 (and few days ago Mac to Yosemite, version 10.10), I don't find in my iPad air and in my iPhone 5 photos I can see in iPhoto (version 9.6) on my Mac's Cloud. I tried to add manually from library to iCloud's streaming photo with no result. in iPhoto's events I've 940 photos, in iPhone and iPad about 450. I have in mobile devices only photos taken with iPhone. thank
There is no warning there, only a recommendation...
We recommend that you update to the latest version of iPhoto before placing your order,
On 10.6.8 you can update to 9.2.3.
You really need to rethink you're computing habits. Using a computer without a back up is like driving without a safety belt. Updating the OS and applications without one is like driving blindfolded and drunk without a safety belt...
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 -
I have a new downloaded OS X now my Iphoto version 8.2 needs upgrading I downloaded 9.3 but I cant use it as I need a minimum of 9.1 how do I do this ?
You can purchase the newest version of iPhoto on the Mac app store. Cost (in US dollars) is $14.99.
It sounds like you downloaded an iPhoto update to take version 9.1 up to 9.3. You can't use it with version 8.x.
Best of luck. -
I downloaded the OS X version 10.9 and my Iphoto version 9.2.3 will not open. I get a message that I can't use this version of the application I photo with this version of OS X. How do I upgrade to a i photo that will run on 10.9. Do I purchase a new program or can I do just an download?
Check the "Purchases" page in the Mac App Store and see if there is a more recent version there already waiting for you.

I just updated from my lion 10.7.5 to maverick 10.9.1 and was told that my iPhoto 8.1.2 would be a free upgrade to the new iPhoto version?? but I cannot find an update ??
Bad information
Updates from previous ov iPhoto '11 are free - upgrades from older versions like iPhoto '08 are purchases - you can run your current version under Mavericks if you do not wish to upgrade
