Updating my iPhoto I have lost everything because my computer is all of a year old

I was asked to update my iPhoto by Cloud, so I did, just to find out that my computer is too old for this update, so now I don't have any iPhoto and more importantly no photos. My mac book air is less than a year old, and is a Lion. I am feeling sick. How can I get my old iPhoto back

I know the suggestion of update was not by OS, it was needed by Cloud so that I could transfer information between devices, at least that is what I thought. Anyway, since then I went into my apple preferences and it had updates available, so when I did that I see that my iPhoto responds to me. And when I say that I mean it is on the stop sign icon at the bottom of the screen, but which still has a stop sign sort of thing instead of the iPhoto sign. Now when I press on see this message, I am a bit nervous about how I interpret messages, so what do I do with this.
Do I accept this. I have backed up my computer.

Hi, my computers hard drive has gone faulty and I have lost everything, how can I get the music from my iPod touch back onto my new computer?

Thanks to anyone that can help. Have lost everything on my computer and am having to start all over again. Windows by the way. Just want to know how I can get my music etc from my iPod back onto iTunes without losing it all. Have got rid of all the CDs as well! Many thanks, Ian M

My daughter was trying to update her itouch and somehow lost everything on it. She had a different ipod before this one, and I think we never registered this one, so it seems the computer restored her itouch to what was on her previos ipod. Any ideas?

My daughter was trying to update her itouch and somehow lost everything on it, but itunes seems to have restored it back to what was on an older ipod she used to have. I don't think we ever registered her itouch, and I know she didn't back it up to the computer. Any chance of getting her stuff back? She lost hundreds of pictures.

- You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- On the computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backup of her iPod.
Note that the backup does not included synced media like apps and music.
- Is she update the iPod via iTunes on other then the computer she syncs with the media on the iPod gets erased. Same for if on the syncing computer if the media was not in the iTunes library.

I can't update my iPhoto 8.1.2, everything says I need to upgrade to 9.0 first - but i can't find 9.0

I can't update my iPhoto 8.1.2, everything says I need to upgrade to 9.0 first - but i can't find 9.0. I upgraded to mac ios 10.9.3 but I'm trying to use iphots in icloud and it says my iphoto needs to be updated first. I just can't figure out how to update it.

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

After updating to IOS7 I have lost a years worth of pictures and my wi-fi keeps dropping out. Anyone have any similar problems or suggestions?

Re wifi:
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

I used to have a large music library on I Tunes but I somehow overwrote it with the few purchased items that were on my I-pod so I have lost everything apart from these few. Can I retrieve a previous library even if I've somehow lost it?

I used to have a large music library on I Tunes but I somehow overwrote it with the few purchased items that were on my I-pod so I have lost everything apart from these few. Can I retrieve a previous library even if I've somehow lost it? Any ideas? I've tried the Apple Support but they just showed me how to retrieve previous purchases and don't seem to have any solutions to my problem.

Since recently updating my phone i have lost 4 songs from my itunes, how do i get them back?

Since updating my phone i have lost 4 song from itunes which i have already purchased and they are no where on my computer either. Help please!

i know the update didnt remove the songs it was when the phone had to do a system restore after the update as it was a big update . the problem i have with getting them back is that they are not backed up to the computer . as me and my partner have to use the same itunes . and if we sync and backup to the computer it puts the apps on the wrong phone . so we were told not to back up or sync

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Lion uses Recovery to reinstall OS X. Press Command and R keys when your Mac starts, open Disk Utility, erase the drive and reinstall Lion. The other Mac has probably got its hard disk damaged, so take the Mac to an Apple Store
