Need to upgrade iPhoto before i can upgrade to Photos. It says it's not available in the UK. Help!

I have iphoto 9.2.1 (don't ask...it's not my computer...) and I can't seem to find a way to update to the latest so I can migrate pix to Photos. It says I need to do it; it takes me to the app store and then says it's not available in the UK.
Any ideas?

If her version did not come preinstalled with Lion or later, but with an installer disk, it has probably never been associated with the AppleID and will not show as purchased.
In that case your friend needs to contact the AppStore support to help with the download.
But perhaps the purchase has been hidden. To unhide it, go to Store > View My Account, and go to Manage for Hidden Purchases.

  • I recently downloaded the latest version of Mountain Lion and imovie and now I can't find my photos. When I click on the camera it tells me that I need to open iphoto before I can see any of my pictures but that didn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

    Is there a reason why I can't see my photos from iphoto?

    Trashing the iMovie and iLife preference files may fix the problem you are experiencing. See this User Tip by AppleMan1958 for full details:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4061
    In Lion and Mountain Lion, an alternative way to open your user Library folder (to access the Preferences folder), is to click and hold down Go in the Finder menu bar and then press and hold down the Option key on the keyboard. The Library folder will appear in the drop-down menu. Slide the pointer down until Library is highlighted. As you release the mouse button, the Library folder will open.

    You're really posting in the wrong forum. you should be posting here ( https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_store ) Or calling apple support directly.

  • Need FCP 5.1 before I can upgrade to 5.1.2

    I have just reinstalled by FCP Studio and before I can upgrade to 5.1.2 I have to have 5.1 ! Where do I find it? ASearch of the Apple site doesn't bring it up. Thanks

    Are you asking why you can't install FCS 5.1.2 from 5 on your Mac.
    FCP 5.1 is a Universial version of the application. It is made to run natively on Intel-based Macs.
    You need the crossgrade from FCS 5 to 5.1. It's not a complete necessity.
    There's not much of a significance between 5 and 5.1

    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.

  • How can I purchase an iPhone app that is not available in the AppStore I'm registered in but is available in another country's AppStore?

    Hello, guys. My problem is that I want to purchase an iPhone app that is not available in my AppStore(s). I am registered in the Japanese and Russian AppStores, and the app I want is available only in the American AppStore. Do I have to change my AppStore for this? And how can I do it? Or do I have to create a new Apple ID for the American AppStore? I tried to do the latter, but it requires a billing address located in the US, which I don't have. What are my options?
    Thank you in advance.

    No worries. The forums can be a bit confusing to navigate at first.
    You might want to contact the developer of the app in which your interested and suggest they offer it in your country. There may be reasons they can't but if they can and they know there's interest, they just might.
    Best of luck.

  • I was trying to set parental controls and somehow lost the abitlity to sign in as adminstrator. When I try to reset using my OSX CD, it says I need to install Rosetta before I can reinstall MacOSX. I say yes, but it asks for my administrator ID/password

    Somehow lost my ability to login as administrator when i was trying to set up Parental Controls. Now it does not recognize my administrator name or password. When I try to reset my password by reinstalling MacOSX, it tells me I have to first install Rosetta. When I say yes, it asks for my administrator name and password!  ARG!  Help please!

  • Can I purchase a TV episode that is not available in the U.S. store?

    I would like to purchase/download TV episodes that are available only in the U.K. store.  The price is listed in pounds.  I am able to watch a preview but have not tried to purchase (not sure what would happen).  Can I make the purchase/download? Is there anything special I need to do? thanks.

    You need to go to the UK and supply a payment method valid in the UK.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The latest OS X version is OS X 10.8.3, so first check that you can use OS X Mountain Lion. First, check that your Mac supports Mountain Lion > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If it's compatible, open the App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    When the download finishes, the OS X installer will appear, so follow the steps. After upgrading, you will have 10.8.3.
    If your Mac isn't compatible with Mountain Lion, check that you can run Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949 If you can run OS X Lion, call Apple to purchase it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 After upgrading to Lion, you will have 10.7.5.
    To set up iCloud after upgrading, open System Preferences > iCloud. Read > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup

  • I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection Design Across Media Upgrade for Windows at a business closing.  What do I need to find out before I can use it?

    I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection Design Across Media Upgrade for Windows at a business closing.  What do I need to find out before I can use it?

    I couldn't tell you what you purchased, and it might even be difficult for an Adobe employee to do so.  The business could have a few options as far as what they might have purchased.
    Your best bet, considering what little you paid, will be to hand it over to someone you might sell it to and let them try it out.  If it works, then it works.

  • I seem to have lost most of my 9000 photos when I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3. iPhoto won't work now and says it needs an upgrade not available in the UK. Only a few of the 9000 photos appear on Photos! HELP?

    Move the incompatible iPhoto version to the Trash, before you try to reinstall from the AppStore, but don't empty the Trash.
    update as described here:
    Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
    The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore Purchases tab with ⌘R, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.

  • Do I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard before I can upgrade to Lion?

    Chrome will no longer update unless I update my MacBook.  I have Leopard. Do I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first before i can upgrade to Lion or can I go straight to Lion? And should I back up my hard drive first before I do an upgrade?

    You need Apple Store to upgrade to Lion (unless you bought a usb with Lion on it).
    Snow Leopard will have the App Store once you update.
    This is how I did it Leopard --> Snow Leopard --> update to get the App Store --> Lion.
    And Yes, you should always back up your hard drive before doing any upgrade : )
    Btw, here's the unofficial way of updating Leopard to Lion.  I never tried it, can't say it will work, so do it at your own risk.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone help?

    After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone please help? I am not an advanced user and I would like my photos back, having had no idea I would lose iPhoto in the upgrade!

    Thanks petermac87...but for some reason, the only purchases showing are OS. So assuming iPhoto is in Mountain Lion, I was hoping to look under Hidden Items there as you suggested, but there is no option for that. Only option is to download Mountain Lion again, not iPhoto specifically. Any ideas welcome!
