Upgraded to Mavericks, can't download compatible version of iPhoto

Yesterday I helped a friend upgrade his iMac to Mavericks (from Mountain Lion), so that he could run the same version of iWork as was on his MacBook.
The upgrade went fine, except for iPhoto.
The existing version of iPhoto is too old to run on Mavericks, and the version he can download from the app store is Yosemite only.
I've had him follow these instructions: Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X
But the version of iPhoto that he can download through the Mac Store Purchases tab warns him that it will only run on Yosemite.
My understanding is that old versions of software should always be available to download through the Purchases tab, so I'm assuming that this is a bug with the rollout of Yosemite and will be fixed at some point.
In the mean time, does anyone know of a way around this?
As far as I know there's no way to copy iPhoto from my computer to his? And since everything is through the app store, I can't think of anyway I can download an installer for him.
Would appreciate any suggestions,
Adam.
PS. I am aware I could upgrade him to Yosemite but I'd much prefer to wait for 10.10.2 before doing so.

What I can suggest, is to update your OS to Yosemite.
Its supposed Apple is not going to give an older version of iPhoto just to run on Maverics because every Mac running Maverics is available to run Yosemite as well.
This is why I suppose you can't find a version of iPhoto to use on Maverics anymore.
This is my suggestion, an let me say Yosemite is an amazing OS, I'm using for months, since the 1st public beta.

How can I download a version of iPhoto that will work on OS 10.7.5?

I tried to upgrade my iPhoto '08 to a newer version, but the new version won't run on OS 10.7.5 and now I cannot open iPhoto. Is there a way to uninstall the recent upgrade or reinstall a version of iPhoto to will work on OS 10.7.5?

now I cannot open iPhoto
Yes you may be able to. Download, launch and apply the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 to your library and then try to open it with iPhoto 9.5.1. The upgrades will be installed in your Applications/Utilities folder.

Where can I download older versions of iPhoto e.g. 9.4?

AS the owner of an older mac I sometimes want to upgrade software, but not necessarily to the latest version. AT the moment I'd like to upgrade iphoto to 9.4 so I can use the icloud sharing of images. IS it possible and if so where can I get these versions?

Depends on what version of iPhoto and of the OS you have, wich you do not share? if you have any version of iPhoto '11 (version 9.x.x) then simply update it under updates in the App store. If you have at least OS X 10.6.8 nd an older version of iPhoto then yu must purchase an iLife '11 DVD - Amazon ro eBay are sources

Macs can be very Fussy about RAM...
You can use these Links to check which RAM is suitable for your Mac...

Get as much RAM as your Mac can take. You will need it.

I upgraded to Mavericks; Can't access Premiere Pro CC

I suppose, in the middle of a project, I got a little excited when Apple released Mavericks and upgraded straight away without prior thought to the possible interuptions of workflow.
I can't open Premiere since I've upgraded to Mavericks. I downloaded the 7.0.1 update today, I thought this would rectify my situtation - unfortunetly not. After reading other posts I uninstalled the application and reinstalled - did nothing. It's still the same issue. It worked perfectly before I upgraded, I'm in the middle of a project.
I really need to have it finished by Thursday.
I've tried accessing the program via other applications. I can't access After Effects or Prelude either. I don't use these as much as Premiere but, as it stands.. I'm paying for an almost void set of tools. I know it's a bug and it'll get fixed in time.. but this is urgent!
Everytime I open the application, I get the splash page and then an error report.
I've seen other people post something similar to this, I don't know if this is actually help to anybody but this is how the error message begins: Adobe Premiere Pro CC [10296]
Please, somebody.. help?

I don't know if this will help anyone but I have finally got it running. Adobe support was only sending me another tiny step to try every 36 hours or so -- I've lost a whole week trying to sort this out.
I had reinstalled the application many times by using the Uninstall application in the Premiere Pro folder in Applications (and then installing it through Creative Cloud in the menu bar). This gave an option to remove preferences, so I believed it was doing a clean install.
Adobe's advice was to run disk preferences and repair permissions, and enable the root user and uninstall/reinstall the programme. None of that helped. But while waiting to hear back from Adobe I decided to scour my /Library and ~/Library folder for any trace of Premiere Pro. I removed a number of old files related to older versions of Premiere and that seems to have solved the problem.
I don't know exactly which step solved the issue, or even whether it will keep running, but I have set my region back to the UK and I seem able to run the software again.

Will I still be able to use ilife, iwork or any of my applications after the upgrade to Maverick? I currently have version 10.6.8. Thanks!

The ONLY stuff that should give you trouble is anything that requires Roestta to run. iLife apps can be upgraded for free, and iWork 09 should still run. Office 2011 and Adobe Creative Suite CS5 and CS6 run like before on my Mini.

I currently use Snow Leopard and Microsoft Word, Excel and Entourage o my Mac. If I upgrade to Mavericks, can I still use those applications?

If the Microsoft Office is 2004 then no.

Note I would recommend a minimum of 4GB RAM.
You need to check all you software and hardware including any peripherlas you use, printers etc that they are compatible with Mavericks.
Any software that is PPC and uses Rossetta will not work with any OS X verson later than 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
If you decide to upgrade have a tested backup of your current system in case of problems and you could return the computer to its previous configuration.

I want to submit a grant application at Pepsi refresh, however they recommend Firefox 3, 3.5 or 4 - not 3.6, which is what I'm using on my Mac 10.4.11. Can I download another version of Firefox so I can apply for this grant?

If you want to add a new user-agent into User Agent Switcher, you go into preferences > New. Most of the blanks are filled in already, so just change the Mozilla revision number that will be at the end of the User Agent line. To fake 3.5.19, just change rv:1.9.2.19 to rv:1.9.1.19. For the description, put in "Firefox 3.5.19".

Since August 2012 updates for Java (and especially Java Runtime Environment, which is what you actually need) must now be downloaded direct from Oracle:

(which is for Java 7)

The recently discovered zero-day flaw in Java 7 is so serious that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has warned users to disable or uninstall it, and Apple has disabled the Java 7 plugin on Macs through its OS X anti-malware system, in order to protect users from a potentially serious security issue.
You should disable Java (if not already done) until either the US Department of Homeland Security, or Oracle, declare it safe and Apple restore the facility. Oracle have released an update said to fix the security flaw, available from here:

My order is still pending, and I can only download trial versions. Help?

Ordered 4 days ago, and is still showing as pending.
I have not received any serial number for this license.
Can only download trial versions of apps.
Help!

Hi JohnxxiiiCollege,
If you have purchased directly from Adobe (online/over the phone), please provide the order number & you can also confirm from your bank if the transaction has been completed or not.
Please mention the product name if purchased from any other sources.Then the serial number issue can be resolved.
As you have mentioned that " Can only download trial versions of apps", I assume it is the trial of Creative cloud, if that is the case then serial number is not required.
Since you have the trial downlaod available so it might be that the creative cloud subscription is not yet active(if it is creative cloud subscription).
You can privately message me the details also.
Regards
Rajshree
