Update iPhoto on multiple iMac's

Hi,
I have several new iMac's all with OSX 10.8 and iLife 11.
I downloaded the iPhoto 9.4.3 but cannot install it; the systems tels me i must install with the App store.
With 4 machines that would mean 4 times a more than 1 GB download?
Is there a way to upgrade from iPhoto9.4.3Update.dmg?

Update Flash Player Multiple iMac's

Hello Everyone,
I work in an elementary school in ohio. I have been working with apple remote desktop trying to install adobe flash player in a lab we have. We use a generic login in our lab and everywhere else so that the little kids do not have to remember a username and password. I am trying to avoid having to update 40 computers at once by hand. I went to the lab and downloaded the update for adobe flash, but before installing i right clicked and did a show package contents. I then went to the resources folder and then contents folder and found the .pkg file in there. I had read on other forums that installing this would suffice to installing the update. I used apple remote desktop to install the pkg file and forced the computers to restart, after it came back up I logged in as the generic login and low and behold it still wanted me to update flash player. If anyone has any good advice for my situation I would greatly appreciate it!!!

HT4906 Why is it that I´m constantly getting asked to update iPhoto but it never actually seems to go through?

I´m trying to connect my iPhone and iMac via iCloud to be able to share my photos between those two devices. The problem being that I need to update iPhoto on my iMac to be able to do so. Wouldn´t be a problem if I hadn´t already tried to do so about four times without success.
Hope there are some answers out there.
Thanx. Hr1gunnar.

How to delete multiple photos from updated iPhoto

How to delete multiple photos from the updated iPhoto

1 - there is no updated iPhoto - iPhoto is still on your computer and version 9.6.1 is probably the last version - there are no updates planned to iPhoto
2 - Photos is a new photo management program built into OS X 10.10.3
3 - Assuming you are talking about Photos select the photos and press delete - they then go to the recently deleted photos album (show recently deleted under th file menu) where they sit for 30 days and then are automatically deleted unless you manually delete them first

When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first update the application; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. I have not renamed or moved iPhoto which was preinstalled. How to solve?

When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first download the update; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. Stuck in a classis Catch-22 - any ideas how I might solve the problem?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

HT1338 i have tried to update the iPhoto in an iMac from 2010 which i have updated from Snow Leopard to to Mountain Lion but its impossible.What can i do?

i have tried to update the iPhoto in an iMac from 2010 ( in which i have updated the OS from SnowLeopard to Mountain Lion 10.8.3) but it doesnt work,why? Is my iPhoto too old to update do i have to buy and install a new version of i Photo ?

You may need to buy the newest version from the App Store. If you cannot update via the App Store then you are using the version from a DVD. Updates for that can be downloaded from support.apple.com/downloads/.

I hv lost my icon for iphoto on my Imac Mac OSX10.5.8.   I still hv my pics but can no longer creat albums and events. If I upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion, will my pics go into the new iphoto?       I would like to update Mountain lion.Will

I hv lost my icon for iphoto on my Imac Mac OSX10.5.8.   I still hv my pics but can no longer creat albums and events. If I upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion, will my pics go into the new iphoto?

From where did you lose the iPhoto icon? From the Dock? If so, then it's still in your Applications folder. Find it there then drag the icon back into the Dock. If it's no longer in Applications perhaps you've moved or renamed it. Use Spotlight to search for "iphoto."
Upgrading to Mountain Lion will not affect your iPhoto Library unless you erase the hard drive first. Be sure you backup before any system upgrade.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

Iphoto install multiple users on imac

I bought thelatest version of Iphoto for our Imac at home, but I cannot get it on the other accounts without needing to buy an install for each account.
Is there a way of installing iPhoto on each user account?

If it's installed by the Administrator of the Mac then it's on all the accounts.

Updated iPhoto to 9.2.3, lost majority of photos - help!

We updated iPhoto as recommended by Apple to version 9.2.3 and immediately had trouble with no photos showing in iPhoto. The photo folder on the Mac drive is empty, and was the primary location for storing and accessing photos. After finding the iPhoto backup library on the My Book external drive, I imported and only recovered 1,000 of 10,000+ photos. The recovery files are dated with photos from 2005 - 2009, and nothing from 2010 to present. It also required me to update the iPhoto library file upon import, something which I expected would automatically occur as part of the application update.
I am running an iMac with OS X 10.6.8.
Already tried to rebuild the library by launching iPhoto and holding command/option. No new files were recovered. Any tips/advice is much appreciated to help recover 4 years of family memories!
Frustrating to see the continued degradation of Apple's competive advantage: seamless interoperability and ease of use. The iphone synch with itunes is a whole other discussion...
Thanks,
Scott

Terrence: thanks for taking the time to reply. Here are replies to your questions:
Pictures folder = yes
Back up historically performed manually to My Book.
Wife performed the iPhoto update yesterday and did not back up prior to update.
Why did you not restore? = new version of iPhoto not able to find or recognize the iPhoto library on the Mac drive. When launching iPhoto application after the update, and the application is attempting to pull from the Mac drive database, it is a never ending spinning wheel of white dashes as if searching but never finding.
Why import from the backup? = Since no photos will load from the Mac drive database, I attempted to restore from the backup on My Book as the source
Clarify the 'update the iPhoto library file' = when attempting to import the iPhoto library backup file from My Book (after the above sequence and failing in attempts to load from the Mac picture database), iPhoto required the My Book iPhoto library file to be updated, or reconfigured (can't confirm the exact language here), before proceeding. It was definitely a separate prompt and process from the app update.
Why are you mentioning crash reports when there is no mention of crashes? = after the initial post, I went back to my attempts to relaunch iPhoto and it crashed multiple times. Thought I would add in this thread (10 minutes later) in case it was helpful to someone assisting to resolve these issues.
Certainly not looking to editorialize, but I've been using Mac products since the Apple IIe. By no means an expert, as you can see by my problems here , but the reality is that the proliferation of peripherals makes it increasingly challenging for the average tech user to navigate compatibility, synching devices, etc. Heck, I had to spend $1,500 on a new iMac just to get my iPad funcational a couple of years ago (my Mac Mini didn't support a current OS to run an iTunes version needed to activate the iPad).
Not hating, I'm an unabashed Mac lover (9 devices and growing). Also not ignorant to the challenges that developers and us 'tech users' face in the real world.
Thanks and again I truly appreciate your input!

I can't update iPhoto after upgrading to Yosemite.

When I attempt to update iPhoto I get the message, "Unable to update with this Apple ID" "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
I did not purchase iPhoto via the App Store, it was installed on my iMac when I purchased it. How can I get iPHoot working again?

This error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9,5.1 and associating it to your AppleID.
Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID, as Kappy suggested. Delete iPhoto from Applications, but don't empty the Trash, then go to the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto. If you are lucky, it will show as free and you can buy it directly.
If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support: Ask for a redemption code. You will need to provide a prove of purchase for your mac with iPhoto preinstalled.

Can't update iPhoto after mavericks update

Hi,
I recently updated my iMac with the mavericks OSX update - but now I cannot update iphoto. the app store shows that is knows an update is available, but whenever I try and update - the app store asks me for a password for my apple ID - but nothing ever happens. the spinner by the username just keeps going around and around. I have reset the password as well via the apple support pages (iforgot) but it makes no difference. I have another apple ID which I've used since for purchases (and on another mac) which doesn't have any problems at all however the app store update doesn't allow me to change the apple ID.. Any suggestions on how to get this done?
not sure if this is actually an iphoto issue or an app store issue? thanks

Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

Unable to update iPhoto in Mac AppStore

Hi guys,
I'm stuck with updating iPhoto 9.1.5 to 9.2.1.
I called with Apple because of this matter but they couldn't help me out.
I bought my iMac last year and from the beginning it's saying there is an update for iPhoto. But when I try to update with the MacAppStore it's saying: "You have updates available for other accounts. To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."
But this application was already included on my iMac and didn't bought it with my account or something.
So.. how can I update iPhoto?
Any help much appreciated!
Best regards, Justin
Small note: I read somewhere that you need to buy it when you want to upgrade since it's not included in Lion. But it was included in my OSX Lion and I can't buy it since trhe AppStore is telling me that iPhoto is installed.

Go to your Purchases List in the App Store and if iPhoto is there, click Accept beside it. Then you'll be able to update in a few moments.
If iPhoto is not there, or, if there is no accept button, then you have to work with App Store support for resolution of this. They are the only people who can help with Account issues.

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.

How do I move 3741 photos in iPhoto on my iPad to iPhoto on my iMac?

How do I move 3741 photos in iPhoto on my iPad to iPhoto on my iMac?
My iMac lost all of the photos in the iPhoto library about 3 OSX updates ago (current system 10.9.1) but they recently appeared on my iPad. I have looked at all of the iphoto libraries on my iMac (3) and one contains 419 photos, one contains 3 photos and the main library has place holders with description information for 3741 photos but no photos. My iPad has all of the photos in iPhoto. How do I move them?

The answer is no. There is no originals (or masters folder) that I can find. Below are the following folders in iPhoto:
Events Folder: 71 place holders with decriptions including 6 recent photos
Photos Folders: 3741 Place Holders with descriptions
Photo Stream: 1 photo
Last 18 Months: 157 photos
Last Import: 1 photo
Cloud: 229 photos
1 Album: 3 placeholders with descriptions
Slideshow: 1 placeholder with description
Many of the actual photos are recent and are duplicated in one of the abovefolders

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.
