Updated yosemite and iPhoto is gone

I have update to Yosemite 10.3 and my iPhoto is greyed out (it was not updated)  - states outdated version and I can't download newer option - when I do I get a "not available in the US" pop-up.  I have read other suggestions, but none apply to me thus far.  iPhoto is not listed under my purchased apps in app store - I'm assuming because it was preinstalled? It is also not hidden - I checked. So now - I don't have iPhoto and photos isn't an option in the app store either.  Not sure what I should do next

What were you running before you updated? 10.10.2, or an earlier version of OS X (10.9 or earlier)?
If 10.10.2, then iPhoto should still be on your machine. If not, then go to the App Store, purchased tab, and look for iPhoto, and download it (you'll need iPhoto 9.6.1 to run on Yosemite).
If you never installed iPhoto from the Mac App Store, then you should contact AppleCare, who can probably help you out. That's the only option in this case; upgrading from 10.9 or earlier straight to 10.10.3 is a bad incidence of timing.

  • How do I update iMovie and iPhoto? it tells me "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."

    I have been trying to update imovie and iphoto but i keep getting the same message and dont know how to go about it. Help please!

    You obviously haven't bothered to read the software license agreement that covers iPhoto.
    It states exactly what I have been explaining to folks that you now come along and contradict;
    http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/iPhoto.pdf (underlining mine)
    B. If you obtained the Apple Software preinstalled by Apple on Apple-branded hardware, in order to use the Apple Software on more than one of the Apple-branded computers you own or control under the Mac App Store Product Usage Rules, you must log in to the Mac App Store and associate the Apple Software with your Mac App Store account. If you choose not to associate the preinstalled Apple Software with your Mac App Store account, you are permitted to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer at any one time. Please also note that by choosing to associate the preinstalled Apple Software with your Mac App Store account, you will also associate any other Apple software applications (i.e., iMovie and GarageBand) that are provided to you as part of the same preinstalled application bundle.
    You have been lucky, because they realized that you were not intelligent enough to work with logically or to understand the license agreement, the Apple employees likely gave you these redemption codes to get rid of you. I seriously doubt that Apple is going to make a policy and give every user redemtion codes because they fail to read the terms of use and fail to associate their iLfe apps to their Apple ID correctly.
    There is no bug. It works this way by design.

  • Installed Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6. A lot of my photos are much too dark now and the colour is not right. Any fix available? I did a backup prior to the new installs.

    Installed Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6. A lot of my photos are now too dark and the colour is way off from the originals. Any suggestions to correct this mess. I did a backup prior to installing Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6.

    Check the monitor settings in the System/Displays/Color preference pane.  You may have to change the color profile used or calibrate the monitor. 
    Also check the System/Accessibility preference pane to see if the Increase contrast checkbox is checked. If it is check it and see if there's any improvement.

  • Cannot update iMovie and iPhoto from Apple Store using Mountain Lion

    Hi,
    Everytime I try and update iMovie and iPhoto from the App Store I get an "an error has occured" followed by a "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)." I tried to download the update from the apple website, but much to my chagrin I was told "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."
    Help anyone?
    Thanks,

    I have only had one AppleID ever.  I do not have any other AppleIDs.  My kids have thier own... and only one each for this very reason.  Pick an ID and stick with it becuase it will be with you the life of ownership of Apple products.

    Try stating in Safe Mode:

    Next try reinstalling Yosemite by:
    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Updated to latest version of yosemite and iPhoto does not work

    we updated our computer to the latest version of yosemite and the iPhoto icon was not usable. The new photo app said it was downloading photo library but never got beyond 11% even after 2 hours. What should we do? We already got rid of iPhoto (as suggested on another website) and now are unable to find and/or download iPhoto. Please help

    Please carefully read this article .

  • My 15" Macbook Pro running Yosemite keeps updating iMovie and iPhoto to one compatible with Yosemite the it updates again to the previous version that is not. Then it repeats itself.

    My Macbook Pro keeps updating iPhoto and iMovie between the version compatible with Yosemite and the previous versions. It does it at least daily. Why doesn't the App store understand when those two programs have been updated?

  • Update iMovie and iPhoto.

    I updated to Yosemite and now I cannot update iphoto or imovie. The update says,  "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." How can this be? I have had the programs on my computer ever since I purchased it 3 years ago. Help please.

    Hello russswaim,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    The following article discussing buying and downloading apps:
    Mac App Store: Buy, download, and install apps
    The most relevant part for your issue is in the section on "Download purchased apps on all your Mac computers". That being: "sign in using the Apple ID you used to purchase the app."
    Regards,
    Jeff D.

  • Can't Update QuickTime and iPhoto

    When attempting to download and install the latest version of QuickTime and iPhoto via Software Update, I got the error message, "None of the checked updates could be saved. You do not have appropriate access privileges." I have two User Accounts on this Mac, both are Admin accounts, and I've tried updating from both accounts. I've repaired privileges via Disk Utility. Why can't I download these updates?

    Same issue with the QT 7.3 update, I get this message...
    The update “QuickTime” can’t be saved.
    You do not have appropriate access privileges.
    The Installer package has been moved to the Trash. To try again, open the package from the Finder.
    Tried repairing permissions with disk utility, it ran with a few warnings and 3 unexpected ACLs on the private/var/root dirs, but that did not help.
    Had keychain problems when I did the Leopard upgrade, had to reset the root password to fix. Wondering if the problematic Leopard upgrade did some other damage?
