Trouble buying/installing iPhoto 11

I am having trouble upgrading from iPhoto 08 to iPhoto 11. I just upgraded to OS X Lion and decided to update iPhoto too. But when I try to purchase iPhoto 11 from the app store, it tells me that iPhoto 7.1.5. was already installed and was not purchased from the app store, do i want to buy iPhoto 9.2.3? Then, when I try to purchase iPhoto 11, absolutely nothing happens. My app store purchase record does indicate that I've purchased iPhoto 11, but, again, when I click on install nothing happens. The only iPhoto on my computer is the old one. Advice?

Trouble buying a Iphoto book that I created

What does this mean when I try to buy my photo book, I get a dialogue box that says
"Your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can proceed with this book."
However, I checked all of my pages and frames and they all have photos as required.

I took your detailed advice. I check every full page photo, noting the backgrounds on those pages. If there was a grey background, I changed it to a colored background. And if I found a full page photo on top of a full page photo background, I changed those backgrounds to colored ones.
Still get the error message from Apple when I try to buy my book. Help!!! Very frustrating

Uh, perhaps you should learn to read what was actually written.
What did I tell anyone to do/not do?
What was my "opinion"?
I wrote, "However, note that iPhoto is going away, soon to be replaced soon by the new Photos app".
the facts are that Apple has stated that iPhoto can continue to be used and that you can seamlessly migrate form iPhoto to photos
I never suggested, hinted or stated otherwise...
Are you stating that Apple is going to continue on with iPhoto & it is NOT going to be replaced by the Photos app?
and how does all this help the OP?

Can´t update pre installed iPhoto version 9.1.5 to 9.2 because in App Store is said i have to login with the ID I bought iPhoto! I did not buy iPhoto with any ID because it was already preinstalled!

Did you try re-installing OS x Lion? That was the solution for me. Just make a back up with time machine and then restart your mac and during restart press ALT. Then you'll acces the support screen and there you can reinstall OS X lion on your macintosh HD.
This was the solution the people from Apple support gave me and afterwards I could download the update perfectly.

How many computers can i install Iphoto 11 on

If you buy it on the App Store any Macs that you own or control for personal use. So, all the Macs in your family, yes. All the Macs in your Office... no.

How do I buy an iphoto 6 book now on a PowerPC Mac?

My mom has a PowerPC Mac with Mac OS X 10.4.11 and iPhoto 6.0.6. She is now unable to buy a book. What would the best course of action be?
NOTE - Please don't respond "buy a new computer" also, don't respond to install "App Store" and upgrade to iPhoto '11 (that doesn't work on a PowerPC Mac as far as I can tell).
NOTE 2 - My Mom does have an Intel Based Mac Book and could install iPhoto '11 on that computer; however, I can't find any step by step migration strategy from iPhoto 6.0.6 to iPhoto '11. If this is your recommendation, please point me to where a migration step-by-step exists.
NOTE 3 - I'm sorry about posting in the wrong forum. There is no iPhoto 6 forum available anymore :-/
Thanks for your help....

SInce the only possible response is to upgrade iPhoto to '08 or later that is the answer
You may be able to purchase older versions of iPhoto on e-bay
To migrate from one computer to another you simply move the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from one computer to the other (if you have an existing iPhoto library you want to keep be sure to rename it before moving) - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
That is correct - the new forums eliminate the versions except as key words - as a volenteer trying to help I find that extemely difficult but it is what it is

Before upgrading my system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion I had taken a backup of iPhoto in my external drive. But now when I try to open that package, I'm directed to app store to buy new iPhoto. How can I retrieve my photos without buying iPhoto?

Before upgrading my system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion I had taken a backup of iPhoto library in my external drive. But now when I try to open that package, I'm directed to app store to buy new iPhoto. Why would apple install iPhoto by default with Snow Leapord and make us import all our photos in it at the first place, and now ask for money if we want to retrieve our photos back on mountain lion? What if they make contacts a paid app with the next OS upgrade, and then bully us to pay money if we want our contacts? This is something very dissappointing on Apple's part. I need answers here.

I fail to remember if the installer gave me an option to keep my applications.
The Mountain Lion installer will not delete applications. It will only mark applications, that are not compatible with your current system with a "forbidden" sign in the icon. And you cannot launch them.
Does your iPhoto icon in the Applications folder look like this?
Then your iPhoto version is incompatible and cannot run with Mt. Lion. If it is iPhoto '11, with a versionnumber starting with 9.x.x., you can upgrade it by downloading a newer version from the Apple downloads site http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650.
But if you have 8.x.x, you need to buy an upgrade.

Trouble upgrading to iPhoto 6.0.5

I downloaded the upgrade for iPhoto, and I get part way thru the installer and when it asks me to select a destination at the end I get an error message:
"You cannot install iPhoto Update 6.0.5 on this volume. An eligible iPhoto application was not found in the the location / Applications/iPhoto.app."
When I look in my applications folder, I see it there, and I've been using iPhoto since the day I started using my computer. I don't understand why I get the error message. Any ideas? I'd really love to start using the new version!
Thanks!
Holley

Look at iPhoto/Info and see which version you have currently. Do you have v5 or earlier? Updates (5.1 to 5.2) are free downloads. To upgrade to a new version (5.0 to 6.0) you have to buy iLife 6.
If you have v6.0, it is necessary to update to 6.0.4 before doing the newest update to 6.0.5. A strange thing and not typical update behavior, but give it a try.

Unable to install iphoto 6.0.1

Hi, I am a new apple user. Just down loaded iphoto 6.0.1. But when I try choose the path to install it. It shows a red sign and will not allow me to continue install it. Can some one please help me? I bought the ibook for my camera. Really need to install iphoto to edit the pictures, thx.

Hi wenhsin,
Does the ibook have a version of iPhoto on it now? It would be in the applications folder. If it doesn't have iPhoto on it, then you would need to purchase iLife in order to install the iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, Garageband, and iTunes)
If the iBook has a version of iPhoto on it that is 2, 4, or 5, then you would still need to buy iLife to install iPhoto 6.

Can't install iphoto 6.0.3!! help

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have a imac G4 256 MB w/ OX 10.4.6. I am still running iphoto 2 (what the computer came with) Now I finally want to upgrade to iphoto 6.0.3 and the computer won't let me. When I am told to select a destination to install it, my Mac HD icon comes up w/ a red exlamation point through it. When I select it I get this message: "you cannot install iphoto update 6.0.3 on this volume. An eligible iphoto apllication was not found in the location application/iphoto/app." Does anyone have any idea what I need to do. I am not very computer savvy. Also my computer says that I have 38.3 GB (is that memory?) w/ 21.8 free and iphoto needs 52.9 MB so I think I should have enough. Any help or thoughts is greatly appreciated. thanks

hello brooklyngirl
you say that you are still using iphoto 2. you have to have iphoto 6 installed before you can download version 6.0.3. the only way to get iphoto 6 is to buy it. that is buy the ilife'06 package. once you install it then and only then will you get the update. sorry this is the way it has to be.

Can't re-install iPhoto '11 from DVD disc

After having trouble with iPhoto hanging my Mac on trying to launch 18 months ago, I bought Aperture and have been using it. I also got a video card replacement. Now, I want to re-install iPhoto from the iLife '11 DVD I bought, and use the calendar creation part of it. When I try to do so, an alert that the pkg has an invalid certificate (see screen shot). So, I have tried to Continue anyway and after installation, iPhoto says it has to check for updates, and that reports that all is up to date. However, iPhoto will not launch. Nothing.
So, if I dont continue, I get the info below about the certificate, which expired in March 2012. What can I do about this?

Download from the Apple Downloads webpage and install the iPhoto 9.1 updater followed by the most recent iPhoto 9.3.1 updater

Help installing iphoto

What do i do if on the app store when i try to install iPhoto tells me to "accept" and when i do it states that i can't do that on this computer? It doesnt give me the price and the option to buy, it just gives me the option to accept the app but doesnt let me accept it.

Yeah. I eventually just installed it with the original CD that came with my mac and then updated to the most recent versions so that iphoto could support icloud. Without the application CD that came with your mac I dont dont how to install it. You would probably have to request a copy from Apple. Hope this fixes your problem.

Just installed iPhoto 09 Can't get past first screen

I just installed iPhoto 09. When I first opened the program after installation, I was prompted to upgrade my photo library, I did so. On the next screen ("Look up photo locations"), I am prompted to click yes or no, but all I get is the spinning ball -- the program doesn't respond. I have tried rebooting the computer; I have tried deleting the com.apple.iphoto.plist Can't get beyond "Look up photo locations" no matter what I do -- and I don't even care about the locations!
Any other ideas? I have a Time machine backup (I hope!) I've never had to restore from it before, so may need guidance wit that too!
THanks in advance for your help. I'm beginning to regret my purchase...

Log into another account on your Mac and see if iPhoto will open and run there. If not then a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to first delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder, reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came on and reapply the latest updaters.
If it does run OK in the other account then there's something in your main account that's the culprit. It could be a preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how to see if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
4 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button.
Click to view full size
5 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.
