Iphoto won't open after upgrading to mavericks

I just bought my macbook air from a pawn store a few days ago. I just got the OS X upgrade to finish after upgrading itunes, iphoto, safari, etc. Now when I tried to open iPhoto it said I need to upgrade. When I go to the App Store and click update all, I get the following message: "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."
does this mean I can't open the photos I've uploaded or load any new ones? I bought this laptop for school and I'm honestly not a computer guy so this is extremely frustrating and I'm seriously considering just taking this back before my 30 day return window closes because this is nuts.

The iPhoto on that machine belongs to the guy who hocked the machine. If you don't have his ID you'll need to buy iPhoto for yourself.

Iphoto won't open after upgrade to Mavericks

After upgrading to Mavericks a few wks ago I am having an issue with iphoto. It did an auto update after upgrading to Mavericks, but now it has a circle with a line through it (blocked). The pop up window says cannot open iphoto because it may be damaged or incomplete.

Delete it and download from the App Store.

App store won't open after upgrading to Maverick

After upgrading to Maverick I cannot launch the app store. When clicking on the icon it shows 6 updates but will not open. Anyone else with this problem?

Hi gabbycallaghan,
If you are unable to load the Mac App Store after updating to Yosemite, you may want to see if you can access the iTunes Store and/or try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article, as access issues can often affect both stores:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store

Iphoto won't open after upgrade to ilife 11

i install ilife 11 on my macbook and now iphoto won't open it say You can't open the application iphoto because it may be damaged or incomplete

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

My iPhoto won't open after reverting from mavericks to mountain lion! HELP!!

I recently upgraded to mavericks & quickly discovered that protools was not compatible with the new OS.. so i called apple & they suggested i back up my files & completely restore my computer so I could return to mountain lion..afterward i realized my ilife was no longer in my applications & had use the applications cd that came with my computer to upload ilife. now when i go to use iphoto it says " You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto." & forces me to quit. I dont see any ipdates for iphoto & at this point dont know what to do!! please help!

Older version of iPhoto cannot open libraries that have been created or opened with later versions.
You can downgrade the library to 9.4.3 by following this iPLM tutorial: Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager Help - Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto

Mail won't open after upgrading to Mavericks

I upgraded to mavericks and now mail won't launch or open. It gives an error message: "The last time you opened Mail, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?:
When I try to reopen it comes back to the same error message. How do I fix this?

Try restoring Mail from a Time Machine backup prior to the Mavericks upgrade.
Hold down the Option key and pull down Go to Library.
Enter Time Machine.
Select a date and time.
Select Mail.
Restore.

Here is a sequence of the messages:

See if anything in here will fix it:
1. Hold down the Command and Option keys as you click the iPhoto icon.
The Photo Library First Aid window opens:

Iphoto won't open after upgrade

I upgraded iPhoto. Now when I try to open the application, I get a message "the photo libray needs to be updated..." The spinning circle appears for a while, indicating 'work going on.' Then the application shuts down.
I download photos to iPhoto and I can view photos in Aperture.

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

Applications won't open after upgrade to mavericks

I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks. That went OK. But afterwards some aplications and drivers don't work. For example, when I try to open the driver for my HP flatbed scanner 7400c, it says "you can't open because it may be damaged or incomplete". When I try to open Adobe Acrobat Pro, it says "it can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer(!)", if I try to open Adobe Photoshop CS2, it says "you can't open because Power PC appications are not supported". All these items worked just fine with Snow Leopard. Can anyone advise why this is happening and if there is anything I can do to regain access to these applications. I don't want to upgrade the Adobe apps, because I don't use them enough to justify the cost, and there are no new drivers for the HP scanner... it's old enough that HP has discontinued maintenance on it.

Or, in addition to Eric's knowledgeable information: partition your hard drive (or add an external drive) and install Snow Leopard (with the optional Rosetta checked; and, IMHO, Quicktime 7, too) into it and use the "dual-boot" system to switch between Snow Leopard and Mavericks as needed.
Here is a recent post I assembled that describes your situation in more detail:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions if they are available, or find alternative software that will open your data files, modify them and save them;
4. Install Snow Leopard Server (with Rosetta) into Parallels or VMWare Fusion. Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for only $19.99 + sales tax & shipping; call 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753). This solution will give you concurrent use of your PowerPC applications and access to Lion or Mt. Lion.

Your HP driver issue may be a bit more complex. Try Apple's free Image Capture application. Also, research HP support forum. Quite honestly, when my HP scanner/printer died and HP told me "tough luck; we'll give you a discount on a new one," I purchased an Epson all-in-one instead!

IPhoto won't open after reinstalling

iPhoto won't open after installing "bundled software only" from the Leopard cd. The thing is that I already had everything installed , I installed the bundled software thinking that it would install the bootcamp in my mac (I know , I'm stupid...It is because I never had a mac..
What shoud I do?
PS: other program are not working either , iWork and Garage Band.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.
