Problem installing iphoto 6.0.4 upgrade.

G5 Imac running 10.4.7. and iphoto 6.0.1. On attempting to upgrade to 6.0.4 the message "You cannot install on this volume. An eligible iphoto application was not found in the location/ Applications/iphoto.app." This is exactly where the iphoto folder is, so I'm puzzled.
Any help very welcome!
G5 Imac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I am still getting the same error "An eligible iphot application was not found in the location/Applications/iphoto.app."
even though I tried moving iphoto into a different folder in my applications, and then moving it back in. Any help would be appreciated. I don't have ilife. I tried installing 6.0.1 as well and get the same error message. Help....

Problems in iPhoto since trying to upgrade to ilife 11

I see many posts on this and have tried some solutions - increasingly concerned.
I have a 2009 macbook pro and was happily using iphoto 09 (8.1.2). Then a while back I thought I would upgrade to ilife 11 and during the upgrade struck the problem that access to photos/teasers seems to scarily disappear. I've searched all forums and saw to go back to rhe previous app.This worked and photos still appear to be there in 8.1.2.
But now I have a new imac (arrived yesterday) and hope to be able to work out how to move photos into latest iphoto. I've tried migration assistant which is not working for some reason.
I tried to drag my library from a hard drive (formatted from a mac) into new iphoto app (same issue- no teasers).
I have also copied my library from a hard drive time machine back up into my new system Documents file (I have not found Pictures folder yet..) and run through all the repair options when you open iphoto with Command/options even rebuiliding the database.No luck! It says there are 26,000 item (which is correct - taken over approx 10 years) and after all of this the photos improved a little by showing up for a short while and then disappearing (I have seen this in the forums) or being stretched or blurry! But maybe I am missing some database?
Not sure what to do next except transfer previous iphoto app to new imac and keep going with that or create an old and new library with different apps. All photos and iphoto 09 (8.1.2) are still working on older laptop and I have two time machine backups + back ups of original files by title and file name and am considering a third!
Can I transfer original files and reorganise them into folders etc..? Guess I lose my books etc..
Any suggestions.. ? Can it be the photos have the same filenames (I am not a good filer) and this is causing an issue - I have removed all photos that were not opening in previous app and all videos. I've tried to weed out duplicates. It does seem that those taken on ipad or iphone do show up in new iphoto even if others do not.
I will say - I don't spend much time in the forums so did just expect iLife 11 to magically work.. Makes me want to print books immediately as a back up (could be expensive!)
Anyway - appreciate any assistance. kealld

What are "teasers"?
I tried to drag my library from a hard drive (formatted from a mac) into new iphoto app
Never do that. That will import one Library to another and cause a mess you don't want - a really big mess.
To move an iPhoto LIbrary:
Drag it to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine. Then Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and open it. That's all.

Problem installing iphoto app from app store

After updating to yosemite my iPhoto doesn't work. i deleted the iPhoto application and went to the app store to install the new iPhoto app. i clicked on install and it says installing but nothing is happening.
I can't access my photos and its driving me insane. Do I need to buy aperture?

I am having this same problem..
I just tried all these steps, but when I open AppStore after deleting iPhoto from the Applications folder, and click on "Install" for iPhoto, it changes to "Installing" and then just hangs...
Any ideas?
I've backed up my old iPhotoLibrary.... I have a lot of photos saved, will I have to delete all my old photos, and then try to Install again?

Problem installing updates or programs since upgrading

Can anyone help me with this message I am getting whenever I install software or upgrades? This began after upgrading to sl.
The system extension"/System/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used.
I found somewhere in discussions to boot from system cd, check disk status, repair permissions, reboot. I have done that. Yet when I installed iTunes 9 I got this message. I also did another update of something (sorry can't remember) but got same message. It shows up while doing updates or installs.
What should I try next? I really thought my sl upgrade went well. Just don't know where this is now coming from. Thanks.

To also add...I was very careful with my sl upgrade. I repaired permissions 1st, backed up to time machine, installed sl, repaired permissions, backed up to time machine again.

Problem installing iPhoto 4

The hard drive on my PowerMac G4 (Quick Silver) recently went bad. I replaced the hard drive and installed OS X 10.3 instead of the original 10.1 that came with the G4. After installing the OS X updates, I realized that iPhoto 2 was installed and that my iPhoto library was created in iPhoto 4. I have iLife '04 with iPhoto 4 and in attempting to install I get the following message:
iLife cannot be installed on this computer.
This installation cannot proceed because one of the following applications is running:
iTunes
iPhoto
iMovie
Please quit these apps before installation.
None of these apps are running. Any suggestions? Thanks!

That would depend on what you did to get it to quit. I'll guess that you "force quit" the application. If that's what you did, and since it is a "startup item", then it would be reasonable to assume that a system restart would do the trick.

After installed iPhoto upgrader tool, photos software is still asking for IPhoto needs to be update, why?

MAC OSX :- 10.10.3
IPHOTO :- 9.6
I have recently updated my os x 10.10.2 to 10.10.3 and found iPhoto software dose'nt work. there is some other application appears called photos like iPhone,when i am trying to open it, asking to marge iPhoto library. so tried to marge but it is asking to upgrade iPhoto through a iPhoto Library Upgrader tool. i have installed that but problem is still there - needs to upgrade your iPhoto library. why?

You need to upgrade the application not the Library. 10.10.3 requires v9.6.1
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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
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.

"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." ?
This error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacOS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 and associating iPhoto to your AppleID.
Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID instead of updating. Delete iPhoto from Applications, but don't empty the Trash, then go to the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto. If you are lucky, it will show as free and you can buy it directly.
If iPhoto is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support: Ask for a redemption code. You will need to provide a prove of purchase for your mac with iPhoto preinstalled.

How to install iPhoto after upgrading to yosemite?

how to install iPhoto after upgrading to yosemite?

Download it from the App Store as Matt suggested. You may have to move the current version to the Trash Bin (don't delete yet), go to the App Store and look for iPhoto 9.6 under purchases. It will be free.
What iPhoto version did you have prior to the Yosemite upgrade? If it was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll also have to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before opening it with iPhoto 9.6.

I'm using iPhoto 11, and instead of seeing my images in the main view, I see only outlines. (Had same problem in iPhoto 10 before upgrade to Lion Help!
I'm on a Macbook Pro and all of my software is up-to-date.
The photos and events, etc. appear to be present in my photo library, but I cannot see the actual images--only an outlined placeholder.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. This can take 3 or 4 goes to work.

Upgrade problems with iphoto 9.2

I just got a new Macbook Pro about two months ago. Life was already installed, as was Lion, when I received my computer in the mail.
I am running I am running iPhoto 9.1.5. I wish to update to iPhoto 9.2, which includes photo streaming.
Here's the steps listed in the article, iPhoto '11: Update your iPhoto software http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2509
You can also check for updates manually.
To check for updates manually in the Mac App Store (if you purchased iPhoto in the Mac App Store, or if iPhoto and Mac OS X v10.7 Lion or later were preinstalled):
Open the Mac App Store and click Updates in the toolbar.
If an iPhoto update is available, it appears in the Mac App Store window.
I did this. It shows an iPhoto update is available. I cannot download it. An error message comes up saying I must sign in to the account I used to purchase iPhoto. I am signed in with the only Apple ID I have. I click the "Purchased" tab, and none of the iLife applications show up under purchased. The only things listed are Bubble Shootix, Alfred, and Twitter. It goes on to say....
To check for updates manually using Software Update (if you installed iPhoto from the iLife ’11 DVD, or if iPhoto and Mac OS X v10.6.8 Snow Leopard or earlier were preinstalled):
Choose Apple Menu > Software Update.
If an iPhoto update is available, it appears in the Software Update window.
If you purchased iPhoto in the Mac App Store, or if iPhoto was preinstalled on your computer along with Mac OS X v10.7 Lion or later, updates don’t appear in Software Update. Check for updates in the Mac App Store.
Choosing Apple Menu > Software Update does nothing. It says all software is up to date.
To check for updates manually in iPhoto:
Choose iPhoto > “Check for Updates.”
When I choose iPhoto, there is no option listed for "Check for Updates"
I was then told by a 4th Apple Suppoort Technician, "If the steps in the above article do not work, please try to download the update from here: iPhoto 9.2 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1462
I did this 3 hours ago and once the file is extracted, it says "You cannot update iPhoto from this download. You must update from the app store." As I've mentioned, the app store will not let me update.
Any ideas on how I can update my iPhoto software?

I spoke with an Apple Senior Technician on this problem.
It turns out, when they install iLife to your computer with Lion before shipping it to you, they don't assign it to your Apple ID in the Mac store. Therefore, when you sign in with your ID in the App Store when you get your computer, the App Store recognizes that you have the software installed, but will not update it until you sign in with the ID that was used to to install it.
There are two ways to get around this.
1) Contact iTunes support and have them change the iLife license to coincide with your current Apple ID. Yes, this HAS to be done through "iTunes" support. Unfortunalety, iTunes support does not have a telephone number. You can only contact them via email. I tried this, and they said they couldn't help me. So I don't suggest this route.
2) Contact Apple and request you get a hard copy disk of iLife. When they pre-install iLife with Lion, they do not include iDVD or iWeb. Previously, I requested a hard copy of iLife so I could install iDVD and they shipped me a install disk at no extra charge. They should do so for you.
Then, uninstall the current versions of all iLife programs on your computer, then reinstall using the installation disk. Once installed, use "Software Update" in the Apple menu and the update will work.
Evidently, Applications installed with a disk are updated via Software Update. Applications installed via The App Store are updated via The App Store. You cannot update one with the other.
Hope this helps. It worked for me.

I upgraded to snow leopard but iphoto was not included. How do I install iphoto on snow leopard 10.6.8?

i upgraded to snow leopard but iphoto was not included. How do I install iphoto on snow leopard 10.6.8?

IPhoto is not included in any OS upgrade. It is a seperate application. Unless you choose to erase your drive when you upgrade no application including iPhoto is affected by the upgrade (except potential compatibility issues). If you need to reinstall iPhoto for and reason you do it from the original source. Either
1- the restore disks that came with your computer
Or
2- the iLife DVD upgrade that you purchased
Or
3- the App store

My Iphoto Library won't upgrade / update after Lion install.

Ok so i updated my OS X to Lion and everything seemed fine but the Iphoto Library had an update and I installed it after this. Now i'm getting a message that my Iphoto library needs to upgrade to be able to run on this version of Iphoto. It starts to upgrade fine but never stops i just have a wheel as pointer like its thinking or trying to upgrade. It will go like this for days. I have GB's worth of photos i can't seem to get to. Help

To repair the Library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.

You have to buy iPhoto from the Mac App Store.
