Upgrade iPhoto 8 to iPhoto 11

For personal reasons I wiped my computer clean and reinstalled Snow Leopard.
I didn't remember it at the time but apparently I was using iPhoto 11. Now I can not open my current library because the Snow Leopard install came with iPhoto 8.
I read that I can upgrade to iphoto 11 through the app store as long as I have 10.6.8 which I do.
When I go to the app store it says version 9.5.1. This version will not work on my computer. How can I update to a version of iPhoto 11 that runs on Snow Leopard? I rather not buy 9.5.1 and then find out I just wasted $15 because I can't upgrade.

and for the "nth" time the answer is still
as to upgrading the answer is still the same - you have three choices
1 - You can reinstall what ever version you had and update to the latest version so iPhoto will work just like it did before (except that you appearenty upgraded your library to iPhoto '11 by opening your old library from a newer computer so you now mush have iPhoto '11 reguardless of what version you used to have)
2 - Or you can purchase an upgrade iLife '11 DVD from Amazon or eBay and install that and upgrade to the latest version that runs on OS X 10.6.8 - I fyou do not want Mavericks and if your newer system does not have Mavericks onit this is probalby your only choice - but without details I am only guessing)
3 - Or you can (if your computer supports it) upgrade to Mavericks - OS X 10.9.x and purchase iPhtoo '11 version 9.5.x in the app store
Those are your choices - and no one except you can know what version you did have
You can NOT upgrade form the App store unless you first upgrade to Mavericks
and once again (and again and again)
Probably the answer is
2 - Or you can purchase an upgrade iLife '11 DVD from Amazon or eBay and install that and update to the latest version that runs on OS X 10.6.8 - If you do not want Mavericks and if your newer system does not have Mavericks on it this is probably your only choice - but without details I am only guessing)
But since you refuse to answer direct questions it is impossible to give any more - you continue to refuse tro supplie requested information and continue to ask the same quyestion over and over - the answer is not coing to change no matter how may times you ask
And once more purchasing the current version is not an option unless you first upgrage to Mavericks which you state you do not wnat to do -so withou an answer rto the question I've ask multiple tiems your most likely choice is the one posted many times - #2
We are in a loop - a loop - a loop - a loop

Cannot upgrade iPhoto after upgrading to Yosemite

It tells me I cannot open iPhoto until I upgrade iPhoto (to a compatible Yosemite version).to upgrade.
I try to upgrade. It prompts me to log in with my apple ID and password. I do. Then it tells me it cannot continue because --
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 same Apple ID I have always used for years and years.
What do I do???!

Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept it and the other iLife/iWork applications into your Apple ID, do so.
2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
4. Buy them.

Upon upgrading iPhoto, iPhoto Help no longer works. It gives the error message: "The selected topic is currently unavailable. To see all iPhoto Help, you must be connected to the Internet." I am obviously connected to the internet since you are reading this.
I tried upgrading permissions but it did not help!? Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Thanks

Try
Reboot the computer, see if that fixes it.
Then try:
Backup your files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and simply reinstalling OS X
Log in and update to 10.6.8
c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility >Repair Disk
reboot and all should be fine, except some third party programs that install kext files, those will have to be reinstalled from fresh sources.

I am trying to upgrade iPhoto from a .dmg file ???

I am trying to upgrade iPhoto 9.4.2 to 9.4.3 on a Mac Mini with Mountain Lion. When I run the iPhoto9.4.3Update.dmg file, I get the alert:
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.
When I close the alert, it shuts down the update.
Since at our location our only option to get on the internet is via a 3G modem with a data cap of 5 GB per month, we take a laptop into the local library, hop on their wifi, and download dmg files for large upgrades like iPhoto (in this case, 766 MB). This has always worked before - what is different here?
Since we were near the end of our data month and still had a GB left, I then tried the software update route from the Apple menu on the Mac mini. It started downloading the 9.4.3 update which was only 177 MB. 2 hours later it had just finished the download and suddenly continued onto another download (still in the iPhoto upgrade) of a 1.2 GB file. So I aborted. So my 2nd question is what was happening here.
And my 3rd question is what to do next?

Evidently there was more than one update listed for your Mini. Next time launch the App Store app in your Applications folder and log in with the Apple ID used to purchase your Mini. Click on the Updates folder and look for available updates. There you can select one at a time for installation.
Look in the Download folder in your Home folder to see if the 9.4.3 update is there.

After upgrading to Yosemite I had to upgrade iPhoto and now it says I need to update my photo library or it will be lost...HELP

After upgrading to Yosemite, I had to upgrade iPhoto. Now when I try to open iPhoto I get the following message:
The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version iPhoto.
Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete .
Question is...how do i upgrade the photo library?

You can't back up an open iPhoto...
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Go to the App site and check for latest which is 9.6 or open iPhoto and check for updates.

I run Tiger OSX on one MacBook and SnowLeopard on another. Photos were downloaded from Tiger to SnowLeopard, and now iPhoto won't open on the Tiger Mac. Will upgrading iPhoto fix this problem?

What matters is the version of iPhoto you have on the different machines. Can you tell us what they are, and what exact error message you get.

Upgrade iPhoto from 8.1.2 to 9.6

I need to upgrade iPhoto from 8.1.2 to 9.6 for iCloud use.
iLife "11 is no more available, and I am afraid to loose my picts, or the key words and faces, if I install the 9.6 version and if I need to amalgamate or import my picts in the new version.
I'm distressed because I entirely do not trust iPhoto backup with Time Machine since Maverick upgrade...

This means you must first update your OS from 10.9 to 10.10. Thereafter you can upgrade your iPhoto to v9.6

I was just forced to "upgrade" iphoto, and most of my slideshows are gone. What is going on? I'm desperate here.

Thanks for the reply.
It wouldn't open unless I clicked "upgrade." The other option was "cancel." The Genius at the Apple Store said I had no choice. The new stuff looks idfferent but maybe it's just taking a while to go through all my photos. I can't tell what is going on exactly, but I'm nervous to see the last slideshow there is 2010.
We are backed up on Carbonite, but the hoops to go through getting specific items back seems daunting to me.

How do i upgrade and will the iphoto 11 work on my old MAC? or is there another version I can use

Before upgrading to OS X 10.9 Mavericks, you need to first purchase a retail install disc of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to install first.
If you are from Canada or France, you need to get this discs from an online Apple website in your country.
Here is the disc you need here in the U.S. Apple Store website.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After getting this disc and installing the initial version of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, you can use OS X Software Update feature to update to OS X 10.6.8 where that update gives you access to the Mac App Store and the free upgrade to OS X 10.9 Mavericks, if you choose.
Another thing you need to do is to upgrade the amount of system RAM in your Mac.
Currently, your Mac only has 2 GBs of RAM installed. This a bare minimum, paltry amount of RAM for running the newer versions of OS X.
Newer versions of OS X really need a real working, mimimum RAM amount of 4 GBs.
Your Mac model can take a total of 6 GBs of RAM.
I advise installing the complete total 6 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
OWC ( macsales.com) has the 6 GB RAM module kit.

If you are not from the U.S., OWC (macsales.com), I believe, has international shipping of their products.

Again for Aperture questions it is best to ask in the Aperature forum. This has nothing to do with iPhoto. It only involves Aperature

Thanks. So I understand I can't. What can I do with my IPhoto 6.0.6 , I had a message saying it's not possible anymore to edit albums from this version. Is there another version compatible with my Mac 10.4.1 ?

When they un-upgrade iPhoto email templates? Along with Apple Maps, another software I won't use anymore.

When they un-upgrade iPhoto email templates? Along with Apple Maps, another software I won't use anymore.

You can go back by restoreing your backup of the iPhoto library from the previous version a installing the previous version for its original source
Of course I use iPhoto - and I have not idea what
Do you use iPhoto? What version are you using and have you sent photos using it from the iPhoto and used the older templates?
means
one last time if you want help you have to start by being percise and shaing information - for example "older version" is of no help since there are 40 or 50 older versions
again
Sorry but if you have a question then you need to provide information - what are you talking about? What version of iPhoto and what OS version do you have? What upgrade are you talking about? what e-mail client are you using?

HT4906 I just upgraded iphoto, but it is version 7.1.5 (and called iPhoto 8). Do I have to pay for iPhoto 9 in order to use photo stream?

To use Photo Stream, you will need iPhoto 9.2 at least. This is a major upgrade from iPhoto 7.1.5 and you will have to buy it.

Upgrade iPhoto to open iPhoto library after installing iLife 6

I am a real computer novice and just installed iLife6, which I should not have done because now I have no access to my iPhoto library. It tells me I need to upgrade iPhoto to open the library so I selected "upgrade." Then it tells me there is a problem with some of the files and I need to go to Finder, click Get Info and be sure ownership & permissions are Read & Write in the iPhoto Library. I have tried that repeatedly but it tells me I don't have privileges for all I am trying to access. But I am an administrator on the computer, and every possible file I have opened is now Read & Write. But I continue to be stalled out and still cannot open iPhoto Library. I tried copying the iPhoto library to another computer with iLife 6 already installed, and it tells me some of the files in iPhoto can't be imported because they are in iPhoto Library. I am so confused, and now would like to just remove iLife6 from this computer to get back to my original iPhoto so I can access these Photos but I don't know how to do that either. Does anyone have any ideas at all that can help me please?

svbp:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Give this a try:download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Launch iPhoto and try to update the library again.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
