Updating to iPhoto '09

I have a Macbook Pro from 2007 and it still has the Tiger os on it.
Do I need Leopard to operate iPhoto '09? Whether or not that is the case, can I upgrade to iPhoto '09 without purchasing iLife '09?

Do I need Leopard to operate iPhoto '09?
Yes.
can I upgrade to iPhoto '09 without purchasing iLife '09?
No. The Mac Box Set is cheaper than purchasing Mac OS X and iLife separately.

I can't update my iPhoto after upgrading to Maverick

I just upgraded to Mavericks and ever since, my iPhoto (v. 9.2) will not work. It has a grey circle with a line through it over the application. I do see in my app store I have an update for iPhoto 11, but when I try to upgrade it and enter my apple ID, I get this error message. I only have this one apple ID and password, so I have no idea why it is saying this. I am so scared I've lost my photos!!!
Error message reads:
Update Unavailable 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 do not understand this or what to do. I have not ever tried to purchase this previously.
PLEASE HELP!!

You must log into th eApp store using the Apple ID that was used to set up the computer
If that is not working then you must contact App store support - link is on the right of the app store windw

"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." ?
This error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacOS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 and associating iPhoto to your AppleID.
Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID instead of updating. 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 iPhoto 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.

I am trying to update my iphoto 8.1.2 to the current version

I am trying to update my iphoto from 8.1.2 to the current version. The iphoto was installed on my computer when I purchased it so I am unable to upgrade from the app store. I have tried installing some upgrades but it tells me that I need Version 9.0.1 which I can not find the update for that version. I have just installed maverick and everything is working great. My Mac is OSx version 10.9.3
Thanks for your help.

I am trying to update my iphoto from 8.1.2 to the current version.
The only way to do that is to purchase the current version at the Mac App Store.

Several months ago I kept getting prompted to "update" my iphoto library. I finally gave in and clicked on the update button and EVER SINCE THEN, ALL of my photos have been 'grayed out' and I can't see ANY of them unless I click on the photo and open it

Several months ago, I kept getting prompted to 'update' my iphoto library. When I finally clicked on the 'update' button, it 'greyed out' ALL of my photos. Now ALL of my photos are grayed out and I can't see ANY of my pictures unless I click on each grayed out photo individually and open them, ALL of the thumbnails are greyed out. It is THE WORST!! I have no idea how to fix this problem and its been MONTHS AND MONTHS of *** pain. Anyone?? Please help!!!
Thanks so much!!!

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
and please tell us what version of iPhoto and of the OS you have

Any further thoughts ?

I can't update my iPhoto! Help?!

Whenever I try to update my iPhoto, it says that I used another account to purchase it, but I don't even have another apple account. My older version of iPhoto wasn't even supported by OS X Mavericks?! Why is that?!

Contact Customer Support in the App Store via the link in this screenshot:

I can't update my iPhoto. "Update is not available for this Apple ID".

Updating my iPhoto has always been a problem. When I try, I get the error of: "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."
This is the only apple ID I have ever owned, and now that I updated my Mac with the new software, I can't even OPEN iPhoto anymore. Now I can't view any of my photos and I am not a happy camper..
How can I fix this problem?????
Thanks in Advance!

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.

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

I can't update my iPhoto to 9.2 version

I tried several times to update from iPhoto 9.1.3 (now running on my MacBook Pro) to iPhoto 9.2 to use iCloud. But the software-update says my system is up-to-date and if I try to download iPhoto 9.2 from the Apple website it can't be installed because the installation system thinks I am not running iPhoto 9.1 - Sorry my english is perhaps not so well, but I am from the Netherlands... I hope someone can help me out anyway.

Have you moved iPhoto from where it is normally installed? If so, put it back.

After Update to iPhoto 9.4.3 some pictures shown black

I'm working in a iMac with OSX 10.9.5. I've just updated my iPhoto with a newer version of iLife 11 to iPhoto 9.4.3 step by step as described here from Old Todd: running 10.9.5 OS X and iLife 11, now can't use iPhoto The capacity of the iPhoto library is around 180 GB with around 25.000 Objects. First everything seems to be fine. I could see all rolls, albums, calendar etc. But than i discovered, that in some cases, I could see the thumbnails but when I do a double click on it, I can only see a totally black frame. When I'm going to export that frame and look for the result, the original picture was exported correctly.
So, I tried to repair permissions and rebuild database. But this won't fix it. Than I tried to recreate thumbnails. After that, she the application is still open, everything seems to be fixed. But when I quit the application and open-up again, the same problem appears. Sometimes I can see the pictures for a second and they seemed to be squeezed somehow. What can I do? Any idea?
Thanks for helping.

Re: After Update to iPhoto 9.4.3 some pictures shown blackin response to frank251 | This helped me
There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

New photo upload missing after I updated to iPhoto 11

Hi and Help!
I was prompted to update to iPhoto 11 on the weekend (don't know why now particularly, I'm in iPhoto all the time). So I followed the instructions, library updated, all existing events and albums are there. I uploaded some more pictures and created a few new albums and did some new year spring cleaning, moving stuff around etc. And I started making a calendar.
I've opened it up today, my calendar project is still there as are all the new events, but the pictures are empty outlines. If I open up a picture I just get a large exclamation mark "!" but I can still see the thumbnails showing in the slider in the bottom - I don't know if that means the source files must still be there somewhere, or if it just means it captured thumbnails yesterday.
I've gone into the folders via "show package contents" and there just don't seem to be any masters for an upload this weekend. I also had a look in the last import folder. As I scrolled down through the folder the images were there and literally disappeared in front of me - by which I mean, the thumbnails were there as I scrolled down and then would turn into empty outlines...!
All my old folders are still there, thankfully (although they're of course the ones that are also all safely back up).
Because I don't have the cable for my camera, I uploaded them through a card-reader, I don't know if that may affect their date-stamp (and so therefore where to find them in package contents route). I've uploaded previously this way though, and it hasn't been issue regarding losing the images.
Although I have a timecapsule, my photo library is too big to keep on my hard drive, so I keep it on an external drive - meaning it only gets backed up when I do it manually (thanks Apple for that, I will never understand why it was designed to work - or not work - that way). So if the pictures have been lost then they are gone for good which is horrible (I just got back from South Korea and was in the middle of sorting out all my shots from that trip). Plus there was stuff on the camera dating back to the summer.
It seems that this can only have happened because of the update - I should have known better than to have pressed yes.
I'm on a macbook pro and using OSX Lion.
If you have any suggestions, I'd be most grateful!
Regards

Hi,
ok - on the many other back up solutions available front: I guess I have bought into the Apple 'plug n play' 'it all works seamlessly' dream. I have twice been sold supposed total solutions - in 2009, on the advice of a Miami Apple store, upgrading my old macbook pro's OSX to I think snow leopard, specifically to get time machine, and buying a La Cie 1TB external drive and WD 0.5TB portable external, to work with the airport extreme I had at home....
then, after my iTunes armageddon last year, when I was unable to resolve it through several very long Apple-care calls, I went into the Genius bar at the Shanghai store, where I now live, and left with a partial recovery...and a new 2TB time capsule, 1TB La Cie external drive, and the Lion OSX. To go with my current macbook pro. So, having invested significantly in Apple's solutions, I'm looking to them to work rather than replace them with something else when I don't know if they'll be any better. People who are supposed to know have told me that it couldn't sweep from peripherals, so I've taken their word for it. Does that make me a mug? Very probably.
Re format:
1) La Cie -
Kind: volume
Format: exFAT
Capacity: 1TB
Available: 400.55 GB
Sharing & permissions: I can read and write
2) Time Capsule - when I click on 'get info' I don't get very much info, just:
Kind: time capsule

How to update an iphoto 4 to 5 on an IMAC G5 (10.3.9)?

How to update an iphoto 4 to 5 on an IMAC G5 (10.3.9)? When I go to about iphoto, it says iphoto 4, but in the iphotos help menu, it's all about the version 5. It's confusing. When I do check for update in iphoto, it gives me an option to buy an ILIVE 6 with iphoto 6. But I just want to update an old version. I already tried the automated software update on the computer, but it didn't say that I needed to update the iphoto software. I also checked the software update history and the last time that iphoto got updated was in 2004, but I have the automated software update on every day on the computer. I downloaded the 5.0.4 Iphoto update from the apple website, but it said it couldn't find the application. ,,grrrrrrr ,, I even tried to update the same old version from the apple website, but it said it couldn't find the application for it either. Any idea?
Thanks,
Thanh
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You can't "update" from V4 to V5. The 5.04 updater that you tried is intended to update 5.00 to 5.04. You must purchase V5 as part of iLife-5 and, if you're going to do that, you might as well purchase iLife-6. (Besides, you'd have a hard time finding iLife-5 even if you wanted it.)
