Upgrade iphoto from 2.0 for OS 10.6.8

I transferred files from an old mac (OS 10.4) to a newer mac (OS 10.6.8). iPhoto 2.0, from the old mac, will not open, and the app store will not download iPhoto because it requires 10.7. How do I aquire a copy of iPhoto (online) that will run on 10.6.8. I had to wipe the hard drive on this newer mac and was surprised that the Snow Leopard install disk does not have iPhoto. No other disks are available to check for iPhoto

As Niel has already pointed out you'll need to purdcahse a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com. Then update the iPhoto application to 9.2.3 via the updaters available from the Apple Downloads website: Apple - Support - Downloads
You will also have to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.0 on the library before trying to open it with the newer version of iPhoto.

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...

I need to upgrade iPhoto from 8.1.2 to 9.6 for iCloud use.
This means you must first update your OS from 10.9 to 10.10. Thereafter you can upgrade your iPhoto to v9.6
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

Buy iPhoto from the Mac App Store.

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.

How to upgrade iphoto from 1.1.1 to 4.0 for use with IPOD

I have a 5th gen IPOD and want to put photos on it but I need Iphoto 4+ to do so. I have OS 10.4.3 but only version 1.1.1 of Iphoto. I have downloaded the upgrade to 5 but it does not see a newer version and will not let me install it. How can I upgrade?

Simply said if you really are runnign on Mac OS X 10.4.3 which is (Tiger) the n you technically should have the latest iphoto because it comes packaged in the the newest OS. If you ned an update then run software update on your imac and see if a update appears dor iphoto. If not then all i cna think is that you must either not have and you will need to purchase ilife 05 to get the latest version because its not a free update or that youare running on an older OS like panther in which you will still ned to buy ilife o5
You also might get better luck asking this in the iphoto discusison board since thats what your post is mainly about.

How can I upgrade iPhoto from 8.1.2 but without upgrading OSX from 10.6.8?

I have an iMac ca. 2008 vintage which is currently running OSX 10.6.8. Due to various problems I had to do a restore and everything worked OK afterwards except iPhoto (v. 8.1.2.). When I try to launch it I get the error message "iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem" - Error log below.
As I understand it I cannot reinstall the original version of IPhoto that came ready loaded on the iMac. On the App Store the only version of iPhoto available requires Yosemite and I don't want to upgrade to that.
Any advice?

Not sure why you "understand" that you can not reinstall the original version - you can reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first
But the error looks like you may need to reinstall the OS as you are missing sme required system elements

Not sure order: upgrade iPhoto and OS Mavericks?

So, I'm trying to figure out this order b/c I'm going in circles. I know I need to upgrade iPhoto from iphoto 11 9.3 to 9.5 before the library will work in Mavericks. BUT when I go to upgrade iPhoto, it says I have to have OS 9 or higher. I'm still on OS X 10.7.5 Lion - have option to update directly to Mavericks BUT I thought then mess up the iPhoto library?
Can you please help me get from here to there?
My Time Machine is updated to the minute, so I'm backed up. Is that sufficient or would you recommend something else?
Thanks!

Backup - upgrade your OS to Mavericks 10.9.x and then upgrade iPhoto to version 9.5.x (you can not upgrade iPhoto to 9.5.1 until after you upgrade the OS to Mavericks)

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

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?

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.

I can't upgrade my Iphoto from version 9.1.1 (527)

Hi.
I am trying to upgrade my Iphoto. I currently have version 9.1.1 (527).
When i open Iphoto i get a promt, that there is a new version, and would i like to download it. Sure! But when the appstore opens, where the upgrade should be there is nothing there.
Ive tried other solutions, such as searching for Iphoto in Spotlight, opening Iphoto, and manually clicking the "search for updates" or what it is called in the drop-down menu.
Then i found differnt upgradefiles here on the apple-site. I downloaded upgrades 9.1, 9.3.1, 9.3.2. But when i tried to apply them, a error message says that i have to have Iphoto 9.1 installed on my mac to upgrade.. But, i have that already don't I, as i have Iphoto version 9.1.1 (527) ??
Ive read that you could delete it, and download it again from the appstore, but im not gonna pay to download something i already own !
Can anybody help me ?
Thanks,
Simen

How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update
--> If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
-- > If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.

Okay I use iPhoto 6 on an older mac and don't want to upgrade past 10.4.11. Can I upgrade iPhoto without the newer operating system? For the life of me I can't get iPhoto to recognize my camera reliably - although it does sometimes. Any advice, help?

The latest version of iPhoto which can operation with OS X 10.4.11 is iPhoto 7 which is part of iLife 08. You might be able to find a copy of iLIfe 08 on Amazon.com or Ebay.com.
iLife 08's full system requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 processor
iMovie ’08 requires a Mac computer with an Intel processor, a Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0 GHz or faster), or an iMac G5 (1.9 GHz or faster)
iDVD ’08 requires 733MHz or faster processor
512 MB of RAM; 1 GB recommended; high-definition video requires at least 1 GB of RAM
3 GB of available disk space
DVD drive required for installation

Good evening,
after upgrading Iphoto 9.5 a page opened requiring to upgrade my library. As it did not work out,for fear of losing all my pictures I loaded Iphoto 9.4.3 with Time machine but I had lost quite a few photos. As a matter of fact, after searching , I found them In Photo library in 'images' on my hard drive. When I double click, 9.5 appears with all my pictures. Therefore, I would like to use 9.5 just by by clicking on the icon down my finder and not by being obliged to open my hard drive.
Would you please tell me what I should do. Thank you.
Best regards,
Robert

Huh?

So, you have restored 9.4.3 from Time Machine but can see all your pictures in 9.5?
Do you have two version of iPhoto on your Machine?
And if you didn't update the Library, ("as it did not work out,") how can you see things in 9.5?
So, whatever set up you have is confusing.

How do I upgrade iPhoto for Yosemite?

How do I upgrade iPhoto for Yosemite 10.10.3?

You ned to upgrade or update iPhoto 9.6.1 with Yosemite 10.10.3, and that update version is only available from the App Store.
It will depend on the iPhoto version you own, if you still can update to a Yosemite compatible version. If you have any version of iPhoto '11, and it is listed at the Appstore among your purchases, you can move the incompatible version to the Trash and reload the appStore Purchases page with ⌘R. Then try, to reinstall from that page.
If you own an older iPhoto version, you cannot update it, you need to buy iPhoto '11, bu apple is no longer selling it. And the retail versions on iLife installer CDs are not compatible with Yosemite.

How to upgrade iPhoto for mac 7.1.5 to iPhoto 9.5

What's the easiest way to upgrade iPhoto ver. 7.1.5 to latest iPhoto ver. 9.5? Just upgraded my OSX to Mavericks. Have downloaded and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader and upgraded my iPhoto libraries. Is it easier just to buy the newest iPhoto from the app store ($14.99) and install it?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
MK

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Correct. You are using iPhoto '08, so iPhoto 9.5 is a paid upgrade for you. Open the Mac App Store and purchase iPhoto, so iPhoto 9.5 will be downloaded automatically. Then, open it and the library will be upgraded to be able to use it with iPhoto 9.5.
The Mac App Store may show you an error if you try to purchase iPhoto when you still have got the old version in the Applications folder. If this happens, delete the old version or copy it to an external disk
