Trouble installing iPhoto 9.4.1 update

Hello,
I installed the iPhoto 9.4.1 update. But it still shows in my updates window, albeit with "installed" on the right, along with a "1 update available" message in the upper left, and a little red 1 in my dock. Can't get rid of the notices or find the supposed update.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Hi all,
Here's what an Apple support person told me to do (she was very quick to respond and extremely polite, so kudos to her and Apple on that. I haven't tried to reinstall iPhoto yet, so not sure if it's a real fix.
Good luck!

My name is Karen and I understand your concern regarding your iPhoto update. Though helping with technical issue is beyond my area of expertise as an iTunes Store advisor, I assure you that I'll address your concern to the best of my ability.
To fix the issue, please try to uninstall the software and re-install for free.
To uninstall apps you purchased from the Mac App Store, hold down an app’s icon in Launchpad until all the icons begin to jiggle. Click an app’s delete button (x) to uninstall the app. If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, that app can’t be uninstalled. For example, apps that come with OS X can’t be uninstalled.

Problem updating pre-installed iPhoto and iMovie "to update this application, sign into the account you used to purchase it"

My dad bought a new retina macbook pro over a year ago.
The pre-installed iPhoto and iMovie applicaitons get this error when trying to download an update:
"to update this application, sign into the account you used to purchase it"
We are logged into the only account that he has ever had.
He has mountain lion.
It's very annoying and there's no way we know of to get around it. Searching and searching online led nowhere.
Please help!!!!!

You cannot.
As requested... You need to use the SAME Apple ID that Originally made the Purchase of whatever Application you are trying to Update.

I have tried VERY unsuccessfully to install iphoto 9.2.3 update...it says it has successfully updated - then on opening says: iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Mac OS X.

I have tried VERY unsuccessfully to install the new iphoto 9.2.3 update.
I have installed it several times both from the appstore and from Apple Support downloads...it says it has 'successfully updated' - then on opening iphoto, a dialogue box pops up and says:
iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
Insane...I have all my updates including Lion 10.7.3 why does APPLE KEEP SENDING BETAS AS A REAL PRODUCT?
Does anyone know how to copy over a backup from a twinned drive Backup? What files etc.
Thanks tons...

Thanks Terence,
I did get it working finally...and your last advice was what I needed.
I am embarassed that I was an early adopter...SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER and read the problems before creating some for myself.
This was an excercise in frustration, because of the obtuse division between the appstore and Apple Support downloads... it was a bit of a circuitous route...strange that with all the security reciepts and tracking that Apple goes to to prevent piracy... which Steve by his own admission used to build Apple...
Why aren't the server scripts smart enough to say…”HEY DUMMY you can't use this download because you purchased the last iPhoto upgrade from the appstore...and… DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME and precious data BUDGET downloading this gargantuan file which will eat 20% of your expensive 5Gb monthly data allotment!!!…and NOT WORK…only pretend to…and then foul your system….kill your productivity and turn your hair whiter…even worse than LION did.
I am just so antagonized by the inept scripts in recent installations that don't do a diagnostic before allowing installation that is going to corrupt things...I had less effort and frustration when I ran my ATARI with a MAC emulator...rarely lost any productivity to nonsense.
I AM TIRED OF BETAs dressed as products...designed and rushed out for Apple toys that once were tools of the creative trade...COREL...may still have a chance at a comeback if Apple keeps pumping out toys instead of the venerable tools we once adored as income enhancers.

I have bought a 2nd hand late 2008 macbook air and can't install iPhoto as it requires update 10.9 or higher i can't seem to update any further than 10.7.5 help???

I have bought a 2nd hand late 2008 macbook air and can't install iPhoto as it says it requires update 10.9 or higher i can't seem to update any further than 10.7.5 can anyone help please???

Thankyou for your response... being new to this i have had a look and it says the following
This system can run the last version of OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" as well as the current version of OS X 10.9 "Mavericks," but does not support the AirDrop, AirPlay Mirroring, or Power Nap features. It is not supported booting into 64-bit mode when running Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard." It does support "OpenCL" and Grand Central Dispatch introduced with Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard."
Please note that OS X "Lion" 10.7 and subsequent versions of OS X, like Mountain Lion and Mavericks, are not capable of running Mac OS X apps originally written for the PowerPC processor as these operating systems do not support the "Rosetta" environment. To run PowerPC applications on this Mac, it will be necessary to use Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" or earlier
what do i do next
Thankyou once again for your reply

Having trouble installing the 10.5.3 update

For some reason, my Macbook won't install the next Mac OSX update, It'll restart and bring up the screen and just stay at the "Configuring INstallation" Screen for hours,
How do I fix this?

Can you please clarify - are you able to start up your system and login - or not?
As I recall, the configuring installation screen comes up when you are running the install from Software Update - after logging in successfully.
_*If that is the case*_ - then you simply need to delete everything in yourharddrive/Library/Updates/ and run Software Update again. It will then work.
Alternatively (after deleting whatever is in /library/updates/), you could manually [download and run the combo installer from Apple|http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1053comboupdate.html].
_*On the other hand*_, if you can't start up and login successfully, the instructions provided by Simon are spot on.

Trying to install iphoto 6.0.4 update gives me an error message

I just installed iLife 6.0 and when I went to install updates, all of them worked expect for iPhoto 6.0.4 which gave me the following error message:
The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by “Apple”.
Any suggestions on what to do about this?

Hi All
I have a mini mac (G4 PPC) bought second-hand last July. It came with iLife pre-installed and all the built in apps worked fine. Recently, I found the video ones refused to launch, but iPhoto and iTunes (which I use all the while) caused no problems.
Until now!
Although iTunes still appears to work, iPhoto has started crashing on launch as described by others here.
Like another respondant, I tried repairing disk privilages, etc to no avail. I then created an extra user (normally I'm sole user and adminstrator) and finally, starting at a vacant destop) tried running it again. This time it also crashed, but asked if I wanted to retry and than it suceeded with an empty library.
Having switched back to my normal account however, the same old problem re-occurs. Have also tried to opt/apple keys trick and it happlity rebuilt the various options. Then crashed again!
Has anyone got any more ideas? I need it working with my regular library.
I'd also like to get iMovie working to make some video podcasts and as part of iLife maybe the problems are related.

Has anyone else had trouble installing the new Apple TV update?

I have tried several time to install the new software for my Apple TV, but each time I am getting a message saying the intall was unsuccessful. I have 2 and it installed on the older Apple TV (non-HD version) but the newer set will not install the update.

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
If when you choose restore you get a message that the device cannot be found, download the file below
Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (2nd generation)
Then hold down the option key while choosing restore and select the downloaded file when prompted.
If you have the Apple TV 3, use the following file.
Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (3rd generation)

Trouble installing 10.4.3 combo update

I'm trying to install the 10.4.3 combo update on my G5. My HD has the exclamation point over it & I get the "You cannot install Mac OS X Update on this drive" message.
I read some previous posts and I made sure I downloaded the correct update - not the 10.4.3 Server update. I haven't made any modifications to my system and I don't have any anit-virus software.
Help!
Diane
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4)

Here is the update you want:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1043combo.html
Make sure to repair permissions with Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility before and after.
Dismount and disconnect any third party peripherals you have before updating.
If it doesn't work, try creating a secondary user in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts with Admin access and logging in to it to see if the update doesn't like something installed in the current user.

Trouble Installing Pages 2.0.1v2 updater

I installed a new H D on an old 400 MHz G4 running 10.4.9. I dragged over Pages but didn't use it. The updater refused to install saying there was no authorized copy of Paged on the new drive. I used the orig discs to reinstall pages on my newer big HD. It still says it can't locate it on my Hd even if I launch it (it works as 1.0.2) HELP!

Welcome to the forums, NorthVanMan! It's always good to see a fellow Canuck.
Just to clarify, you have tried to install Pages 1.0.2 on your new hard drive? And you can launch it but not update it? Are you trying to update to Pages 2? If so, that won't work, because Pages 2 has to be purchased.

Installing iPhoto update

When installing iPhoto 6.0.1 update I get a big red shout on my hard disk icon and the message “You cannot install iPhoto Update 6.0.1 on this volume. an eligible iPhoto application was not found in the location / Applications/iPhoto.app.” I know I have iPhoto app.
what am I doing wrong?
Victor Katkowski

You are right John. I have iPhoto 5.0.4. They don’t make it easy for you. I suppose that is the reason the download was not in the free Apple Software Update menu.
Thank you very much for your help. This is the second time you have given me the correct information.

Trouble with iPhoto after latest update for compatibility with RAW-files

Hi all, I'm having serious trouble with iPhoto since the latest update for compatibility with RAW-files for digital fotocamera's (version 2.4).
After connection with the camera iphoto starts up as usual and i can start importing my pictures. So far all goes well. After having imported my pictures (visual with thumbs and so one) and having created an event iPhoto isn't able to show any pictures. Stopping and restarting Iphoto gives a message that there are a number of photo's available that havent been imported yet (!!???). I can choose to import or ignore. Whatever i choose i'm not capable of visualising the photo's.
Anyone with a similar problem and the solution? Can i remove the update?
I've tried several camera's all with the same problem.
thx for any replies
niki001

Hi Terence, thanks for the reply (i'll wait with the downgrade for now ;-p).
I made a small step by step report of my findings:
1. Attach camera to imac
2. iPhoto starts up with previews of the pictures (so far so good)
3. Give event-name and start import ( so far so good)
4. 'Latest Import'-report all fine, previews ok, check with event : previews fine. All seems well
5. disconnect camera, stop iPhoto. As far as now all seems normal.
6. Restart iPhoto : Message 'iPhoto Library contains photo's which havent been imported. Import Y/N?'.!!!???
7. Option Y : IPhoto imports photo's imported in step 3 in a new event box (shown as a 'black box' on screen). Last made event (step 3) shows up as a black square in overview all events. Double click on event gives empty squares where previews should appear. Double click on photo preview gives large explanationmark on screen.
8. Drag event-box over screen shows thumbs within square, release event returns to 'black box'.
9. Shut down iPhoto.
10. Restart iPhoto jumps back to step 6 as long as i keep answering Y.(Each time creating a new extra 'black box event').
11. When i now look within iPhoto Library i can find a map Import in which i can find back the last imported photo's from step 3.
12. Dragging these pictures to my desktop (preview gives no problem at all) and from there back in to iPhoto simply recreats a new 'black box event'.
13. In step 6 option N gives a message 'creat iphoto Library recovered'. In iPhoto Library map Import has disapeared.
14.When looking into map 'iphoto Library recovered' i can find my originally iported photo's. However same problem as in step 12.
I used aperture (trial version) to see wether the problem could be photo-related, but here al goes well.
So, any idea's???
thx

I had original iPhoto app from 2007, but in the last year it stopped working seemingly out of nowhere. Now I just installed iPhoto 9.5.1 but it won't open even after downloading the iPhoto Library Updater. My pictures are lost in the abyss.

Have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader? You need to direct it to the location of your old iPhoto Library by clicking the "Choose Library" button in the lower right corner of the panel you are seeing when the upgrade starts.

Go here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582, download the update file and run it. Ideally, start up in Safe Mode when you do the update.

HT5525 is it free to upgrade to iPhoto 11, if it automatically appears on my updates, and if I'm using Mac OSX version 10.7.5, pre installed iphoto when i got my Mac

Yes. Don't worry, Apple won't let you download something that requires a purchase before actually paying.
