Problems downloading Iphoto 5.0

Like many of you I have Iphoto 2.0 and I tried downloading newer versions of Iphoto and I was able to download 5.0. However, when it was time to do the whole license agreement thing and choose the folder in which it was going to be saved...a little red icon appeared saying on the installer saying that it cannot download because there is no iphoto saved in the applications folder. Which makes no sense. Can anyone help me?

You need to purchase iLife if you want a newer iPhoto version; the free updaters will not take you to a newer version of iLife. That updater will only recognize an existing iPhoto 5 application, not iPhoto 4 or earlier.

  • Problems downloading iPhoto on MacBook Pro

    My hard drive was replaced on my MacBook Pro by the Geek Squad and when I got it back, iPhoto was no longer on the hard drive. When I try to download it for $14.99 it says it can't be installed with my version of software. Even after a software update I can't download. Is there another version of iPhoto I can download, maybe somewhere that is free? Help!

    The disks that TD is reffering to will look like one of these:

  • Problem downloading iPhoto after i restore my OS X

    how come i can't seems to down load iPhoto after i restore my OS X

    With no information to go on: wild guess:
    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.

  • Problems downloading photos from iPhoto to iPod 5G classic

    Until recently I had no problems downloading my photo library to my iPod (~250 photos). However, the last couple of groups of photos I've gotten I cannot transfer. I get an error message that reads "The iPod cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." My last 3 rolls do not transfer to the iPod, although all the other photos do as well as all songs, movies, calendars, etc. Everything else is OK just the last 3 photo rolls. 2 of the 3 problem rolls were gathered from emails, but so were others that load fine. The last roll was downloaded from the BART website and will not transfer.
    Anybody know what's up with this?

    Thanks again TD
    I will check on the formating when I get home, I am pretty sure that I haven't used any no-ascii characters, but will double check.
    Before I download iphoto library manager, I just wanted to report an interesting experiment that I tried last night that may point in a different direction:
    I keep my iphoto library on a second internal HD, so I thought I would just try making a complete copy of my iphoto library onto my desktop. Once I did this, I started up iPhoto with alt and choose the desktop version of the library and all worked perfectly, my iphoto albums showed instantly in my photo tab in itunes when I selected to sync with iphoto.
    My next move was to rename my old library and then copy my desktop version into the folder where the old library is. Once I did this the problem was back again.
    I have no reason to believe that it is the second disc that is causing the problem, as that is where I have always kept my itunes and iphoto libraries and they have worked without problem.
    (As I am writing this, it dawned upon me that I missed one important test, I should have tried the old library after I had renamed it, but stil in the same place.)
    I am now suspecting that the problem may be linked to an external drive that I addded to the system at Christmas. This was a WD My Book which I use for backup, the link being that I use the software that came with it to do autobackups that includes my iphoto library folder. I am wondering if this software does something to the folder.
    Thoughts welcome.

  • Problems downloading photos from new camera into i photo macbook pro os  ver 10.6.8, new camera Olympus VR340, iphoto version 9.2.3 -- any thoughts?

    Have a "vintage macbook pro running snow leopard os vers. 10.6.8.  Just bought a new camera -- Olympus VR 340.  Yesterday the photos downloaded into iphoto with no problerms.  Today they won't -- in fact -- iphoto just has the turning wheel and won't function (version 9.2.8).  Any thoughs about what the problem is and how to get it to work again? Never had problems with iphoto before -- with multiple cameras.
    thanks.

    Quit iPhoto, then go to Users / your home folder / Library / Preferences.
    In that folder you will find two files named com.apple.iPhoto.LSSharedFileList.plist and com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    trash both files, then restart iPhoto.
    Next go to iPhoto/Preferences and make sure you have selected Connecting Camera Opens: iPhoto

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • IPhoto says it cannot import my photos because there was a problem downloading an image, how do I fix this?

    Hello! So I have a Sandisk class 10 memory card and whenever I try to import photos onto iPhoto from the memory card it says "IPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image". I have a Macbook Air and IPhoto 9.5.1.. I've tried a lot of what other people say on other questions like this and it still won't work! I've tried using image capture, creating a new library, and creating a new user to see if it worked there. I have enough space for the photos, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Please help, Thanks! 

    I had that happen a couple of times because even though the camera displayed the  picture there was a problem with the way it was saved to the chip - and that caused problems with all pictures after it.
    My version of IPhoto (ILIFE09) does show where the error occurs on direct import from the camera -- on the camera deleting the first picture where the error occurred allowed import of the others.   Once it was the first picture, once in the middle.
    Problem happened when I took a second picture before the first one was 100% finished saving.

    Hi there obywon!
    I have an article for you that can help you find some other ways to import those pictures from your iPhone onto your computer. You should try a couple of different programs that would import the photos into your computer. This first article can tell you the different programs that you will want to try when attempting to import photos:

  • I am unable to download all photos to computer.  At a certain photo I get the following message:  IPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image.  How can I go around this  image

    I am unable to import all photos to IPhoto on computer.  At a certain photo the following message appears:  IPhoto cannot import your photos
    because there was a problem downloading an image.  How can I circumvent this particular image and import all other photos?

    I'm having the same issue.  i have imported everything but the offending photo from my iPhone.  problem is, with over 5000 pics, i have no idea how to find THAT ONE pic that won't import (bc I just get a greyed out pic image - with no data in iPhoto)
    any idea how to get "date taken" info of THAT ONE pic out of iPhoto (or any metadata) so I don't have to search 3 years of pictures?
    and I do apologize for hijacking.
