IPhoto with photos won't update after Yosemite....help!

Hey all,
I downloaded and installed Yosemite today and subsequently was trying to update iPhoto. I got a message that said: 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. I had an old apple ID years ago for whatever reason and I accessed it and it said the same thing. Does anyone have any troubleshooting ideas, please?
Also it seems like everything is SO much slower....(I have also updated my iPhone). Seems like this is a common theme though. Any advice there?
Thanks in advance!
Sunset.

Does the application appear in the Purchases pages? Are you logged into the store with the Apple ID that was used to purchase it?

I only have 1 apple ID and the same was used to set up this early 2011 macbook pro and iPhoto app. I don't want to loose out on any photos. I tried logging out of app store and back in but no luck. PLEEAASEE HELPP!!!
This problem has been reported by quite a few forum members, who skipped the update to iPhoto 9.5.1 while running Mavericks. In that case try to purchase iPhoto again instead of updating.
After making your backup try the following:
Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the applications folder, but do not empty the Trash.
Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your AppleID.
Open the main page 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, as Niel pointed out: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

Messages stuck in updating after Yosemite install

Messages stuck in updating after Yosemite install. Tried re-install of Yosemite and quit messages, still unable to access.

Hi,
Go to the ~/Library/Attachments folder. (well it should be a folder).
If it is not a Folder then rename it and create a New folder with the same name.
restart Messages.
Or if you have a Time Machine backup replace the Non folder item with an Original from just before the update.

You may of had a corrupted install. Connect to iTunes backup then restore. Or update the apps on itunes then sync to the iPhone

IPhoto won't import photos from Digital SLR after Yosemite upgrade

Has anyone else had problems with connecting usb devices and importing photos since the Yosemite update?
iPhoto "sees" the camera, but it doesn't show on the desktop and never preview or loads the content of the camera in iPhoto.
• MacBook Pro 13", mid 2012
• digital canon rebel SLR
I tried:
• restarting
• installing the iPhoto Library Upgrader (and ran it)
• viewing hidden files to manually move the photos
Thank you sincerely for any help offered. It sits at this screen indefinitely.

Have a read of this thread:
RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
It explains how to delete the Camera Raw bundle, and then reinstall it. This has worked for other folks with Raw issues.

Iphoto not working with upgrade and updated after Yosemite update

We updated to Yosemite last night and this morning I found I can not open my iPhoto. We had a very old version that cost to update so I decided to wait, well when I saw there was a free update I did that, then it said To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. Now when I try to open it it keeps telling me to do the prepared upgrader and I already did, so it only gives me the option to quit or learn more which is where you down load it.

All fixed thanks to the apple support people. It was very hard and many many different ways to get it resolved.

IPhoto (9.6) No longer works after Yosemite Update! Please Help. The error message I get is below.

Error Message:
"Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable.
Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup."
I have performed the instructions above with the exception of the restoration from a backup.(Option/Command no longer yields a menu. Just the error message again). Really hoping there is a fix outside of the restoration since I have neglected to back up for some time.
P.S. I see that this is happening to others....I have another Mac to update to Yosemite and fear the same results.

Every time there is an update to anything someone somewhere has an issue. That's why backing up prior to updating is so important.
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.

HT4461 iphoto won't upgrade after yosemite install

updated from snow leopard to Yosemite at suggestion of genius bar person in order to better sync with 4th gen ipad. After which iphoto needed upgrade and won't run , says wrong apple id. only have one id. loaded iphoto from ilife disk when imac was new. what is the fix?

You can't upgrade the iLife apps from the DVD retail disk to the Yosemite versions. You will need to delete the apps and purchase the upgrades.

IPhoto does not start to update after my iMac was updated to OS X Yosemite.

iPhoto has been "paused" after my iMac was updated to OS X Yosemite. iPhoto does not start to update when I click "UPDATE" in App Store "Updates". The circle on the left top corner just keep circling. Do you know how to fix this problem? I cannot download my photos to iPhoto without updating it.

Thank you LarryHN,
I could not follow what you have explained to me as I struggled to find iPhoto 9.6. Anyway, while I was struggling, I managed to update iPhoto somehow. Finally, I can use iPhoto!
Thank you very much for your quick response.

After installing new HDD, some iPhoto Events/Photos won't display

Problem: I upgraded to 1TB HDD a couple of days ago and tried to use the System Restore from Backup under Disk Utility. It never worked, got to a blue screen and just hung. So I reloaded Snow Leopard and then used Setup Assistant to move Apps/Files/Settings from my Time Machine Backup.
Today I was going through files to see if anything was missing and found a number of Events from 2010 that wouldn't display in iPhoto '08, just dark squares but with the event name underneath.
Rolling the mouse over the empty square displayed the correct number of photos for the event but photos wouldn't display.
Next I "Browsed" the Time Machine Backup (from iPhoto) and the same Events were also empty on Time Machine Backups.
The funny thing is the empty events are scattered meaning I have a full Events from Feb and March 2010 but empty events from Jan, Feb and May 2010. And then when I go into the Empty Events on Time Machine, I can call up the photo number but the photo won't display.
Is there a way to recover these photos? I'm pretty sure there on the TM backup and also on my new HDD.
As a "suspenders/belt" type person, I have the photos backed up on a Windows PC but rather work through this problem first.

You can enter TM while in iPhoto and do a search for some of the missing photos by file name. When you find a version that appears to have them in exit TM, go to your Pictures folder, reenter TM, go to that version and restore the entire library. I'd keep both your current library and the restored. Then you can check to see if the missing photos are in the restored library.
If neither library have all of the photos but do combined you can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new 3rd library setting the option to not import duplicates. That should get you a complete library.

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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 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: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Motion 5 won't launch after yosemite update

After updating to yosemite on both my iMac and my Macbook pro, Motion will not launch on the iMac but it will on the pro. A window pops up after attempting to launch, saying: "You can’t use this version of the application “Motion” with this version of OS X. You have “Motion” 5.0.5."
Any ideas? Much Thanks.

You need to login to the App Store with the same Apple ID that you bought Motion 5 with for the update to show up.

Have never ever seen this message before.
