Update iPhoto for iCloud?!

hey there,
2 days ago i bought my new imac. and im pretty familiar with the system, but i cant get this together:
i want to update my iphoto for the icloud stuff. and when i go to the app store trying to update iphoto (it shows the available update) it wants me to actually BUY iphoto before i can update it. well i do think that about 2000 euro for the new imac including ilife, is enough for apple to give me an iphoto update which is actually free.
even when i download the update manually from the apple support page it redirects me to the appstore...
i would appreciate a solution to this problem.
thanks in advance.

thanks for the quick answer.
well it wont find any updates. its all up to date.
is it normal that ilife wont show up in the list of installed software for System Preferences > Software Update?
i took the way via icloud system preference telling me that an update is neccessary, then i went into the app store. seeing the update clicking on it the app store app tells me to "log in with the account i bought this product with."

How do I update iphoto for icloud?

Hello
I am trying to get iphoto to work on my icloud account.
I currently have iphoto version 8.1.2 (424).
I have Mac OS 10.7.4. I updated my Mac Book Pro to Lion a few months ago.
Please would someone explain in clear, simple steps exactly what I do to keep the photos I currently have on my mac, but to get icloud functioning so I can see them on my iphone too. If this is successful then I will purchase an ipad to repeat the process.
Thanks,
Sister Sage

Sister Sage,
to use iCloud with iPhoto you need to upgrade to iPhoto 9.3.x.
the upgrade from iPhoto 8.x to 9.x is not free; you will have to buy iPhoto again from the AppStore. Currently the AppStore only offers offers iPhoto 9.4, and that requires MacOS X 10.7.5 or 10.8.2 or later. So you probably need to update your MacOS first, to be able to buy the latest iPhoto version.
But you do not need iCloud to see your pictures on your Phone. Have you tried to enable syncing of Photos, when you sync your iPhone with your Mac using iTunes?

Updating iphoto for maverick

How to update iphoto
I recently updated my Imac to maverick and for my iphoto to work it has to be upgraded to the latest version,
however when I try to update iphoto, there is a message that says that for performing this operation I have to enter
the ID that was used when it was purchased and does nor allow me to use my current and valid appstore ID.
Since iphoto came originally with my new computer I don´t know what ID was used and it doesn´t even allow me to
purchase the new version.
Can someone help me solve this problem ?

If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.

Upgrading our iPhoto for iCloud

I see that I need to upgrade my wife's and my iPhoto to use iCloud. I've been looking forward to having some way to have a single iPhoto library (when I try to use hers from my computer, I don't see her photos and she doesn't see mine).
When I buy the upgrade from the Mac app store, will that be for one of us (our iLife was a family purchase)? Will I need to buy it twice?

One copy of the app per machine is all you need.

I have update 4 for icloud on my windows 7 computer but the update will not install. I have been weeks trying manually as advised and the download and install that pops up most days. Nothing works. I also have itunes which updates everytime.

Daily I have icloud update 4 sent to my Windows 7 Laptop. It fails everytime I attempt to install the update. I was advised to install manually but this fails also.
I thought I'd uninstall icloud then reinstall again but cannot find a way to uninstall and still no solution to the update install.
I have itunes and have no problems with updates.
I also have an ipad with icloud so maybe this is part of the problem?

I have the same problem....I hope they get arouind to fixing this issue?????????????????

Can't update iPhoto for free.

I have a legal copy of iPhoto but the App Store, via the update command, wants to charge me. The legal copy may have come from an earlier Macbook computer backup because that is how I transferred all files and programs to the MB Pro when I got it. iPhoto '09, ver 8.1.2
I also own a MacBook Air with a later version of iPhoto on it (came with the computer).

Updates (same first digit of the version number) are free
Upgrades like iPhoto '09 to iPhoto '11 are purchases
You have to own a version of iphoto '11 and have it installed on your system to have a free update to iPhoto '11 version 9.5

I can't sign into my different iCloud account to update iPhoto! it will only let me use my dads old one and asks for the password. help!?

I am signed into my apple id account. When I go to update iPhoto, it asks to sign into my dad's old account in order to update. It will not let me change the apple id to mine, it only asks for the password which is impossible to get a hold of. Literally. Help?!

That would be because the licensed copy of iPhoto on your Mac belongs to your father. Only he can update the app. Was this once his Mac?

I'm trying to update iPhoto 7.1.5 to current versions so I can get my photos onto iCloud to access from my iPad. I can't seem to find an upgrade route that will work? Any suggestions?

I'm trying to update iPhoto 7.1.5 on my old iMac (running 10.9.5) to current versions so I can get my photos onto iCloud to access from my iPad. I can't seem to find an upgrade route that will work? Any suggestions?

For Mavericks you need to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1.
You cannot buy this version from the AppStore, since the current version is iPhoto 9.6, and that requires Yosemite. The easiest route for you would be to upgrade to Yosemite. Then you can simply buy the newest version of iPhoto from the App Store and can use iCloud Photo Library (iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ), once it has been release for the Mac as well early next year.
If you want to stick with Mavericks, you'll have limited iCloud features, only the Photo Streams (iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ), but no iCloud Drive (iCloud Drive FAQ) and iCloud Photo Library. And to upgrade iPhoto you need to buy an iPhoto '11 installer. It comes as part of iLife '11. You can try to buy a boxed version from Amazon or try to find it at eBay. Once installed on Mavericks, download the iPhoto '11 updaters from the apple Support Downloads page.

I have a new email address and updated it with my apple id/icloud and updated on my iPhone, but i'm getting a pop up to enter my password with my old email address listed for iCloud/Apple id.

I have a new email address and updated my apple id/icloud with the new address. I updated on my iPhone, but i'm keep getting a pop up to enter my password with my old email address listed for iCloud/Apple id. How do I get it to go away?

Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

Is there a way of viewing iPhoto for iPad Journals or Photostream Pics via the iCloud service?

Is there not a way of viewing either Photostream images or iPhoto for iPad Journals via the iCloud Service?
It seems very odd that you don't seem to be able to do this when they are both touted as using the iCloud service to actually share the images.
Or am I missing something?

Wow, thanks!
Looks like the basic version of LogMeIn will serve my need here very nicely.

I updated the software on my 2009 MBP to Mountain Lion. Since then, my iPhoto has been unable to open my photo library. I have updated iPhoto, and still no luck. Any ideas for fixing this problem?
