My iphoto says that my version is not the latest version so I can't use it.

I had to partition my hard drive and to do that I had to reinstall the hard drive because the boot camp was not working properly. I backed up all of my stuff however, I do not think I used the time machine because I have had to go back through and redo all of my computer.
My iphoto though would not open and was telling me that there was an error. I sent a message to apple numerous times and tried to relaunch but nothing happened. I do not have the iLife disk but I have the disks that came with my computer and I reinstalled the applications.
Now my computer will open iPhoto but tells me that it "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."
Can anyone help me? I need to have my photos on my computer for my architecture and art classes. I got this laptop not even a year ago.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you bring back your original User/Library folder with the Preferences folder inside? If so then delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try launching again.
If that doesn't help see if you can launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. If so select the last three options.

  • I updated the latest version of iOS software on my Macbook Pro and now when I try to open up iPhoto it says that I need to update the latest version. But when I go to update, it says the latest version is unavailable to the U.S. I can't access photos

    I updated the latest version of iOS software on my Macbook Pro and now when I try to open up iPhoto it says that I need to update the latest version. But when I go to update on iTunes, it says the latest version is unavailable to the U.S. I wouldn't mind leaving it be but I can't access any of my photos. What do I do?

    Are you using an iPhone or iPad?

  • I updated to Yosemite.  iPhoto says I need to update to the latest version.  The app store says the version I need is not available in the US.  Thus iPhoto won't work or even open at this point

    I updated to the yosemite system.  My iPhoto says I need to update to the latest version for it to work with yosemite.  The app store searches and then states the version I need is not available in the US.  Currently I cannot use iPhoto.  Suggestions?

    Csound1,
    Thanks for the hint about not emptying the trash.  I will try to work on this tonight or tomorrow morning and let you know if "this helped me".
    Russell,
    If you go into the iLife support forum for iPhoto, there are a couple good threads.  Basically, iPhoto can't be downloaded by anyone anywhere in the world unless the app store has it listed in your "purchases" list.  The threads contain a lot of steps and it looks like this could be difficult for novices like me.
    Rysz,
    I will also look at the link you provided before I get started.  Thanks.

  • HT201364 I am trying to upgrade to OS X Mavericks but when I click on download it does nothing.  I can't load most apps because it says that I don't have the latest version.  Help! what can I do?

    I am trying to upgrade to OS X Mavericks but when I click on download, nothing happens.  It shows as purchased but nothing is happening.  I have the MacBook Pro Late 2011 model.  I am unable to load any new apps because it says that I don't have the latest OS version.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I would appreciate it! Thanks

    I installed 'Mavericks' on my Macbook Pro and am sorry I did !
    It wiped my Mac's hard drive totally clean!
    A technician here was able to reload the original OS but all my pictures, files and contacts were
    sent God knows where !
    I should have done a back up, so I learned my lesson the hard way !
    What really annoyed me was that this is an Apple program, so I wrongly assumed it would be a safe download.
    Wrong !
    He told me that others in our small town had experienced the same problem, and since we live in a small community of about 6000, I wonder how many others have had this problem in more populated centers ?
    Everything is thankfully up and running again ( at great expense in time and money )  but I will exercise more jurisprudence in future offers for any upgrades!

  • I can't log into to my icloud because it asks for apple id but then says that apple id is not the same as the icloud id

    I just signed up for icloud.  I previously had itunes on my old computer.When I went to sign up to icloud it told me my password was wrong so I changed it.  When I went to sign into icloud (after installed)  It told me I have to log in using my Apple Id in order to get into Icloud but when I do that, this message comes up : 
    Can not sign in
    This Apple Id is valid but is not an icloud account.
    From what I have read your Apple Id is your icloud Id.  Help, I don't know what to do?  I just want to back up pictures from a phone that someone gave me and that I will be having blanked out when it gets turned on by new provider.
    I am able to log on in here but for some reason can't get into my icloud...help is appreciated, thank you.

    Well, it does say on http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html in step 1: "To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
    If you're trying to back up your device to iCloud, that doesn't have anything to do with your computer.  You back up to iCloud over wifi.  All you do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, scroll down and tap Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup.  You can then tap Back Up Now at the bottom to start the back up manually, or lock the screen and connect it to your charger and it will back up automatically every day.
    Enabling the iCloud control panel on your PC only allows you to sync your iCloud data with your PC, not to back up your device to iCloud.

  • I accidentally deleted my whole i tune library. I was able to retrieve the entire library, but all my play lists have dissapeared and iTunes says that my ipod is not synced with this computer. Can i sync my playlists from my ipod to my itunes?

    i accadentally deleted my entire library (over 10,000 song) when i was trying to delete an old back up file off an external hard drive. Now when i open I Tunes and connect my ipod, a message says tht my ipod is not synced with this computer. This is the only computer this ipod has ever been synced to, so i don't know how to reconnect the two. I was able to restore all my music to the itunes library, but I lost all my playlists. I spent considerable time creating the playlists and they are stll on my ipod. Can I somehow sync in a way that my ipod can give the computer my play lists?

    With your iPod connected to iTunes right->click on it's device name in the left hand pane of iTunes under devices and select Export Playlists.

  • HT4972 How do I update my Iphone 3g which has OS4.2.1 to OS5.x.x. I tunes says that 4.2.1 is the latest, but some apps tell me that it is out of date.

    I have tried through Itunes, butthat tells me that my OS is up to date (4.2.1) Unable to use some Apps as they require later OS. Also unable to receive/send picture messages for same reason. Apple web site not much help.  HELP

    The apps issue is the app developer's decision on what iOS to support, not Apple. The issue with send/receive picture messages is not with the inability to upgrade your iOS. How long have you been unable to send/receive picture messages? MMS has been available since iOS 3.1

    I'm experiencing a similar problem with an LG Flatron monitor which my MBP no longer recognizes.  I've tried installing all the updates listed above but have not been succesful. Everytime I get a message saying that this software is not supported on my system. Can anyone tell me why I can't install the updates?

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.

  • I recently re-installed my snowleopard OS 10.6 Since the re-installation a number of applications are now saying that this versions of "iPhoto" requires mac os 10.7.5 and i am running 10.6.8

    I recently re-installed my snowleopard OS 10.6 Since the re-installation a number of applications are now saying that this versions of "iPhoto" requires mac os 10.7.5 and i am running 10.6. Prior to my re-install of 10.6 i confirmed that i was using 10.6.8. Since i have never run 10.7 on this computer i am baffled as to why these applications are now demanding is after a re-install.
    any advice would be appreciated.

    Using my Grey Install CD i ran the optional install of just the application package, however the applications still respond in the same way. "You can't use this version of the application _______ with this version of Mac OS X"
    What is still baffaling me here is that i haven't ever upgraded these apps in the app store above Mac OS X 10.6.8. My reinstallation of the operating system was done via the original Snow Leapard Install CD. Prior to the reinstallation i was running 10.6.8 with all applications working.
    My issue here is this computer is within an education computer lab so simply going out and buying Lion may not be an option.
    Additional information that may shed light:
    Identical computer running within the same computer lab is using successfully:
         Mac OS X
         10.6.8
         Iphoto '11
         Version 9.2.3
    Reason for operating system Re-installation:
    -CrashReporter showed that the Dock continually crashed eating up a large % of CPU making the computer virtually unusable.

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
    Restart the PC first.
    If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

    Firefox will not upgrade the company whose firewall I am behind say that UPX files are not allowed where can I download a Non-UPX latest version

    UPX is used to compress the Firefox program.
    It is not possible to un-compress that file without corrupting it.
    Can you use the portable Firefox version?

  • My airport express works on my MBPro 17 w/ 10.5.8 but not my MBAir11".  The MBAir says that this version of Airport utility doesn't support this base station.  Is ther any chance I can use this with my MBAir?

    My airport express works on my MBPro 17 w/ 10.5.8 but not my MBAir11".  The MBAir says that this version of Airport utility doesn't support this base station.  Is ther any chance I can use this with my MBAir?

    Is this an older "round" version of the AirPort Extreme? If yes, it is true that AirPort Utility 6.x no longer supports the older AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express models.
    A model number......located on the bottom of the Extreme or on the side of the Express would be helpful to confirm what you have.
    Apple probably does want you to buy a new AirPort Extreme.
    The workaround might be to use a Mac or PC running a 5.x version of AirPort Utility.
    A more complicated workaround would be to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion.  This is not supported by Apple......it does work for me.....but may not work for you. See this article for more details:
