Updates for iPhoto (and other iLife Products)

I have no problem getting the list of available updates for my computer. The problem is when I push the button for "Install 3 objects" and the download is supposed to start. Well, it kind of starts also, but it is not able to download a single byte. This happens with iLife08 products only, not the other updates.
Anyone got a clue what is wrong?

  • Unable to update iPhoto and other iLife products

    Hi,
    I bought a MacBook Air last year, which came with iLife pre- installed.
    The iPhoto version is 9.1.1.
    But for some reason I can't get auto update for it.  I tried to register it, hoping that this may solve the problem, but it requires a MPN number which I don't have.
    I also tried to download the updates from Apple online download, they would not install.
    Can anyone help resolving this problem? Any suggestions.
    Many thanks.
    John

    Thanks much.
    Indeed after I moved back the apps, they are now updating. I guess that's the trouble for being too anal.
    One more thing, after iPhoto is updated, it still gives me a message "A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported", but if I click "Yes", nothing was imported, and there is a Recovered Photo folder, but it was empty.
    Any suggestions on the fix?
    Thanks again.
    John

  • Did an update for iphoto and now it won't open

    I just did a recent update for iphoto and now it just freezes and won't open.

    As a test  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • Available updates for iphoto and imovie on apple store.

    My apple informs me that I have available updates for iphoto and imovie, however when I try to update them I receive a message that i can't do this because I do not have the major version. How to proceed?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Open Finder and go to the folder where these applications are. Then, move them to Applications folder. Finally, open the App Store and update them to the most recent version. If it doesn't work, see if they are hidden, and if they are hidden, unhide them > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4928

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    This is normal. OS X doesn't come with iLife apps, so you have to reinstall them after reinstalling Mac OS X.
    If your Mac came without DVDs or you purchased it after July 2011, you have to install the iLife applications from the Mac App Store. Open the Mac App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and download GarageBand, iMovie and iPhoto free of charge.
    If your Mac came with DVDs and you didn't purchase the iLife apps in the Mac App Store, insert the Applications DVD and install the iLife apps. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest iLife applications version

  • Software update in mountain lion offers updates for iPhoto and iMovie that will not install

    Updated my iMac 2011 to Mountain Lion. Software Update now operates through the App Store. Third Party apps are OK but Apple's native Mac apps eg iPhoto, iMovie offer updates for installation that do not install.
    Get this error eg for iMovie but similar for iPhoto and maybe others:
    "We could not complete your update.  iMovie is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates."
    If you do as suggested, it reloads App Store software update and goes round again...
    If I go to "Check for updates" in the iMovie menu it tells me it's the current version.
    "This version of iMovie (9.0.8) is the current version."
    The badge showing the count of apps requrining an update is also wrong.

    Hi, just wondering, were any of Apple's Apps moved from there default location?

  • IPhoto and other iLife Apps not working

    About a month ago I was having serious problems with my iMac. Ended up needing a new hard drive, so Apple sent it away, put in a new hard drive, and sent it back. I've had it for two weeks and am just now using some applications (probably should have checked everything when I got it back, oh well), and some iLife stuff and programs that come installed are not opening. I am running Mac OS X 10.4.11 FYI
    What works: Mail, Safari, iChat, Address Book, Itunes, iMovie, iCal, Quicktime
    What doesn't work: iPhoto, iDVD, Garageband, iWeb, Photo Booth
    Just a note, iWeb is the only one that prompts me and tells me that I need to re-install iLife. When I went to download latest iLife update it told me there was nothing to update and I needed to reinstall iLife.
    Also just went into the applications folder again and realized I have both Spaces and Time Machine installed, except they do not work with my OS, so I don't know why they are on there (when I try opening them just to see what would happen it says "does not work with your OS X). Also, Senuti and iPodRip also are not working, so anyone have any ideas as to programs that would let me get my music off my ipod and back on to the computer?
    The programs that don't work just bounce out of dock once then go back down immediately, and do not open at all. I tried installing the software bundle package from my OS X install disk but while the install was seemingly successful it did not change anything. So AAGGHH what do I do???
    Thanks in advance!

    I have the Core 2 Duo in the white case, released late 2006. Definitely have been running Tiger on it (just checked and I am running 10.4.11), sent it away, got it back, and just noticed that these programs don't work and I have programs native to Leopard inexplicably on the computer for some reason. I don't really want to remove them though cause I would like to have them on in case I have to go to the Apple Store so I can point it out to them and ask some questions about why Tiger (the OS installed on the computer) applications are not working while Leopard applications are installed even though they don't work and shouldn't be on there.

  • HT4710 Updates for iPhoto and iMovie in the Mac App Store

    Hi,
    I recently bought a new computer running Lion. When I started using the computer, I opened the Mac App Store and signed in with my Apple ID (the same one I've always used for buying apps from there, music from the iTunes store, and apps for my iPhone). I am able to easily access and download my old purchased apps to my new computer without a problem. However, in the updates section it shows updates available for both iPhoto and iMovie, but when I go to update them I get this message, "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." iPhoto and iMovie came on the new computer, and the only Apple ID account that I have ever used is the one that I am currently signed in under. Does anyone have any idea how I can get these updates, or at the very minimum, get rid of them so that they do not show up anymore (frankly, I find the red circle very annoying, and I don't really use either of these apps so I'm not too concerned about them).
    Thanks!
    Sorry, I found a few other questions about this same thing after posting, so I'll try those solutions.

    Open iTunes on the new Mac, sign into your account and view your account information. There is a section for Purchase History where you can view the invoices for everything that you have ever bought from the iTunes stores and the Mac App Store.

  • Hi, i just a got a MacBook Pro .. and i entered the app store and there was an update for iPhoto and when i clicked update and entered my email and password it said " you have updates available for other accounts " plzz help

    Same thing for me it writes "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."

  • In OSX 10.8, can I use the same apple id to get updates for iPhoto and iMovie?

    Hi, so there are several sites that I work at that have multiple OSX 10.8 devices. I was wondering if there was a way that I can use the same apple ID to update iPhoto or iMovie? Apparently its needed for updates now. Alternatively, is there a way that I can do basic updates with out putting in an apple ID? A few dozen is no problem, but there are more than that which need to be updated. And frankly, its becoming a pain.

    You may only do that on machines you own. Other users must have their own Apple IDs and purchase the software for themselves. If these are enterprises, then contact Apple. They have special programs for enterprise purchasing.

  • After Maverick was installed, updates on IPHOTO and others won't work because Apple ID is already used.

    I installed update on my IMAC for new Maverick OS X  10.9.2
    It will not allow the update on a few Apps, such as IPhotos, it says Apple ID is already in use.
    1. What is the problem here
    2. What am I supposed to do about fixing it?

    Have you tried signing out of the App Store and then back in with the Apple ID and password that you used to purchase the iMac? 
    If that fails contact support in the App Store with the link circled below:

  • HT1338 When I click on the iPhoto icon, this message pops up; "You can't use this version of the application iPhoto with this version of Mac OS X." This started happening after I applied the update for iPhoto. How do I fix this?

    I installed the update for iPhoto and now iPhoto won't open. Help!

    Have you tried deleting the plist from the Library folder?
    If this doesn't work, you could import the old version of iPhoto version of iPhoto from Time Machine and try the update again.
