Unable to update iPhoto 9.0 to iPhoto 9.3

I downloaded Aperture 3.3. For it to work with iPhoto, I need to update my iPhoto 9.0 to 9.3. I am unable to do this, either from the app store or from Lion Software Update. Software Update says everything is up to date. If I try and download from the App Store, it says iPhoto is already installed. Also, iPhoto will not open because it needs to be updated. Please help. thanks, Kevin

Go to
http://support.apple.com/downloads/
Find and download the 9.1 updater. Run it. Then Run Software update again.

You need to purchase iPhoto 9. It is a paid upgrade, not an update from 8.1.2

Where are you updating from? The App Store? If so, contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window.

You need to contact App Store support. They are the only people who can help with account issues.

After updating to Mavericks, I have been unable to update iphoto, and when I attempt to, it says that These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list.

I have apple ID but after signing into that account too, it does't allow to update. None of the updates for these application are show in software update of late, but it flashes in the dock where app store is . Kindly suggest.

Should be the account you registered your mac with, and/or the account you used during the setup assistant.

Can I back up my iPhoto library without being able to get into it? Such a mess.
Just try what LarryHN recommended. Move the iPhoto application from the Applications folder to the Trash, then go the main page of the App Store, sign into the store menu with your AppleID, enter iPhoto into the Search Field. When iPhoto is found in the store, look, if you can buy it for free. Probably there will be a "Get" button beside the application. Then you can install it for free.
Before you run the newly installed iPhoto, make sure you have a backup. You should really not risk to run a new iPhoto version on your iPhoto library, before you copied the iPhoto Library to a different drive.
iPhoto needs to convert the library to a different format, and that can go wrong in rare cases, but it happens. You simply need to have a copy of your library before you risk the library upgrade.

Thanks really appreciating your help

I upgraded to Mavericks, and now I am unable to update iPhoto. Please advise.

I searched thru the posts, found and tried the Sharing Prefernce solution, as well as attempted signing out and signing in of the App store, but I am still unable to update iPhoto after installing Mavericks. Anyone have another solution?

What version of iPhoto did you have before upgrading to Mavericks? This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1.

I am unable to update IPhoto

I am unable to update IPHoto as it was preinstalled on my IMAC and ITunes does not recognise my Apple ID is requests that I use that one which was originally used to purchase the software. What should I do?

I have exactly the same problem. Unable to find answers. This is the message I am getting,"To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it".

Unable to update iPhoto software

Hi all
Every time I open iPhoto, it tells me there is a software update, however, when I click to downoad it, it doesn't appear in the software updates pane.
I went to the Downloads section and downloaded the update manually. When I attempt to open it, it says there is no elligible iPhoto application in the applications folder.
I checked my HD and there is only one copy of iPhoto but it is in the Applications folder.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

After assuring that iPhoto is in the root level of your Applications folder download it from Apple's download site and install manually: iPhoto 7.1.5
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Unable to update iphoto app

I tried to manually update the iPhoto by downloading the iPhoto 9.2.2 dmg file but I am getting this message,"The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available." Does anyone know how to update the iphoto app thru the app store

Your Mac came with Mac OS X Lion and the iLife suite preinstalled. Did you ever accept the iLife apps into your Mac App Store account? If not, that is why you are having issues with upgrading.
One thing that you can try. Do you find this file on your Mac?
Macintosh HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
If so, delete this file, restart your Mac and try downloading the software again following the Lion reinstallation instructions for the iLife apps.

Unable to create books or calendar in iphoto 08

Hi,
I bought my computer two months ago and am now trying to create a book and calendar for the holidays, but neither are working. The Calendar button does nothing and the book button works, but when the drop-down screen comes up, I am unable to choose what "type" of book I want, nor is there any info on the box to the left. I have visited the genius bar and have called support and no one has been able to help me. They even re-installed the operating system, iLife, iphoto, etc. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if they have solved it or if anyone has any advice?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First have you installed the latest iPhoto 7.1.1 update and theiLife Support 8.1.1 update? If not do so followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility and try again.
If the above doesn't fix the problem it looks like you'll have to reinstall iPhoto from the disks that it came on, probably the system install disks that came with your computer. Here's what you'll have to do:
1 - delete the current application.
2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.
3 - delete the Themes folder from your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder.
Also look in the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there then delete it also.
5 - boot into the system disk that came with your computer and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto. (Note: if you ever use iDVD you might try it first and see if it's themes are available. If not you'll have to do the same for iDVD as I laid out for iPhoto).
After installing reinstall the iPhoto 7.1.1 updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime, 7.3.
Do you Twango?

My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6. I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto. However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup. ??

My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6. I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto. However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup. It lists my phone in the "devices" category on the left bar, but no longer shows any of my photos.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've reread your question several times and am not sure I understand it.
Are you trying to basically start over, as if you just took your iPhone out of the box? If so, do:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings

I just did a software update that was apparently for iPhoto. When I try to open iPhoto it stops at "step 5" and will not go further. what do I do?

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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
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. .
