Upgraded to Mavericks, iPhoto won't update

I upgraded to Mavericks but iPhoto won't update. Receive this message: "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 have only had one user name. I can't get into iPhoto and no update will work. Says I have version 9.3.2 of iPhoto even though I updated.

Did that and now there is no update for iPhoto. Go to the iPhoto app and it says accept and I do but then nothing happens. Have I lost all of my photos??

Just upgraded to Yosemite. iphoto won't update.

I've downloaded both iphoto 9 and the updater, each one says it's installed then when I try to open it tells me I need the other. I don't get it?
any ideas?
also worried I might have overloaded my mac. it's a few years old: processer 2.8 GHz Intel core 2 duo with memory 4GB 667 Hz.
already it won't open some of my adobe creative cloud apps, which is exactly why I upgraded to Yosemite.
help?

If your iPhoto version was iPhoto 7 (08) before you upgraded to Yosemite then you need to download and run/apply the upgrade application to your iPhoto Library before iPhoto 9.6 can open it. Had you run the upgrade app?

Updated to Mavericks, iPhoto won't update

I recently updated to Mavericks and have updated all of the apps that were ready for updates. I updated iPhoto but when I open it it still looks like the old version. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I've restarted my computer several times, nothing is working. I'm using a 13 inch late 2009 MacBook (NOT pro), I'm thinking iPhoto 9.5 may be incompatible with my computer.

When I installed it on mine, I had to remove the icon from my dock bar and then go into the Applications folder and take the new one and drag that onto the dock bar to get it to load properly. It looks like the new icon and loads up the new version. However, there isn't really much as far as looks in the new version they didn't change a whole lot. When you click on iPhoto in the menu bar and click on "About iPhoto" what version does it say you have?

IMovie, IPhoto won't update after Mavericks upgrade from OSX 10.06

Upgraded to Mavericks, iMovie won't update, says, "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." And then I get a null error.
However, I am using the only apple ID I have to sign in to the app store.

You can update for free to version 9.5.1 in the App store

After upgrading to Mavericks, iPhoto does not work

I have an iMac early 2011, with dual hard drives. After upgrading to Mavericks, iPhoto and several other apps are no longer "installed". The following apps have a white circle with a line through it in my main Applications folder on my primary hard drive: Calculator, Chess, Font Book, iChat, iPhoto, Mail, Photo Booth, Preview, Safari, System Prefernces. Also, under the Utilities folder, these are inaccessible: Activity Monitor, System Information, Disk Utility.
I tried following this thread's advice: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5539268
I had iPhoto 9.3.2 on my main drive. I downloaded the 9.4.3 upgrade from here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/#consumersoftware
When I try to install, I get the following message: iPhoto 9.1 or later is required to install this update. Where did my software disappear to?
Every Apple upgrade so far has been a nightmare. A previous upgrade of iPhoto bricked the computer and had to bring it to professionals to fix. I am dreading the 10.9.2 "critical upgrade" for the OS that keeps poping up. The Mavericks upgrade also wiped out my Adobe Creative Suite install and several other apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need iPhoto ver 9.5.1 to be Maverick compatable.
Use the software update, look for the new app in your Applications folder along side your old versions of iPhoto. Drag the new icon down to the Dock.
Moving from 10.6.8 the old PowerPC apps are no longer supported. I believe Lion you could still run the Rosetta to keep the old ppc apps alive. No more with Mountain Lion and now Mavericks. Sooner or later you have to keep up with technology and keep apps up to date.

I have upgraded to Mavericks, iphoto is now saying my version is out dated, everything else is fine this is the only problem.

I have upgraded to Mavericks, iphoto is now saying my version is out dated, everything else is fine this is the only problem. Tried looking for updates etc, to no avail.....any ideas???

Check your version of iPhoto. If it is iPhoto 08 7.1.5 from OSX days it is old and if you want a current version you will need to purchase it on the Apple App store.

I find Mail under Mavericks to be weird. Are others having this same difficulty. "Upgraded" to Mavericks last week, after updating the firmware to my WD external HD.

I find Mail under Mavericks to be weird. Are others having this same/similar difficulty? "Upgraded" to Mavericks last week, after updating the firmware to my WD external HD.

"Weird" needs further explanation.
Google's highly nonstandard IMAP implementation is weird, if you're using Gmail, though Apple bent over backwards to accomodate it. Other than that, what do you mean by "weird"?

Iphoto won't update after Yosmite installed

Have had iMac from the start and this is first time iPhoto won't update with this strange message-
"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."
Have never ever seen this message before.

Mac pro with 10.9.2 maverick iphoto won't work

My mac pro with maverick installed won't work with iphoto. It tells me to use iphoto upgrader and when I do nothing changes, it still won't work.

Did you go to Applications/Utilties and actually double click on the upgrader to run it?

Upgrade to Yosemite, iPhoto won't open and NTFS-3G could not mount error with new external HD

Help!
I just did a software update to get OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 on my MacBook Pro.
Now iPhoto won't open and I get this error:
"Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable....Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup."
So I do this and try to repair the database as suggested and I get another error:
"iPhoto will open as soon as the iPhoto library is available. Time Machine might be backing it up."
But it's not - no external hard drive is connected.
I'm terrified I can't get access to my photos (and I admit I haven't backed up with Time Machine for over a year - my mistake that I won't make again).
So I bought a brand new external hard drive (seagate for mac and pc, 2TB) so I could save only my photos to the hard drive (because I googled and read you can manually save your photos to disk by dragging and dropping the photo library onto the external hard drive).
But I can't even get the hard drive to work....I get this error
"NTFS-3G could not mount /dev/disk2s1
at /Volumes/Seagate Backup Plus Drive because the following problem occurred:
/Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/fusefs.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) link error; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).
the MacFUSE file system is not available (71)"
I google the issue again and it says to uninstall NTFS-3G but I actually think I just deleted it a long ago without uninstalling it properly?? I don't know....
(a) how do i fix iphoto
(b) how do i get external hard drives to work with this OS (I've read lots of posts and don't really understand the advice)
(c) how do i get all my photos onto the hard drive safely so I can import them onto a PC
Any assistance would be magic for this little lady!

(c) how do i get all my photos onto the hard drive safely so I can import them onto a PC
First see if you can reformat the EHD to MS-DOS FAT with Disk Utility. If you can
open iPhoto and select all of the Events in the Events mode. Use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option and export to the EHD with these settings:
Select the destination for the export to be the EHD or a folder on the EHD. This process will create a folder for each Event in your library with the same name as the Event and contain the original image files. The EHD will be useable by a PC and the photos will be available also.

After upgrading to Yosemite iPhoto won't work or upgrade to newest version because" someone else bought or it was deleted" What's up'? I bought it but I did delete my app from my iPad! Did I screw up?

After upgrading from Lion to Yosemite my iPhoto wouldn't work because it "needed to be upgraded" so I tried to upgrade by got the message that I couldn't upgrade b/c someone else bought it or it was deleted. I deleted my iPhoto app on my iPad about 1 week ago but my iPhoto and 1000s of pix were fine. What's up? Did I screw up by deleting the app?

No, the versions of iPhoto on the iPad and on OS X are totally different.
What Apple ID are you using for the Mac App Store? Who else has access to that Apple ID, or what possible other Apple IDs could be in use? It's possible you'll need to purchase iPhoto to get the upgrade, though I'd think Software Update should offer you the correct version.

Post upgrade to Mavericks, applications won't open on main user account but seem fine in another account.

MBP Mid 2012.
Upgraded to Mavericks from Mountain Lion. The user account I was using when performing the upgrade now won't open any applications. In another user account on same computer, everything works fine.
When I click on an application the desktop picture goes blank before returning and nothing happens with the application. I can open folders but nothing else.
I've tried every fix I can find, but no success yet. I've reset the Pram, repaired disc permissions, re-installed Mavericks over the top, deleted all .plist files, repaired disk with disk utility etc.
Any ideas and help would be appreciated.
Tod.

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.

Have iLife disc, but after upgrading to Mavericks disc won't read

Hi
I am trying to re-install my iLife '11 programs on my IMac after I did a full wipe and reinstall to upgrade to Mavericks (OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)). Can anyone help me with how I can re-install the iLife '11 programs? I have tried inserting my install DVD (iLife '11 Retail v11.1) but for some reason it is not reading the disc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am lost without my programs.
Thanks,
Hayley

Hi, not sure if this applies to iLife '11 & 10.9.x, but several people have had trouble re-installing iLife if the Date set is greater than 2010, try turning off Automatic Time update & setting it back.
Does it show up in Disk Utility at all? Do other CDs/DVDs show up fine?
If you haven't yet...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)

IMovie and iPhoto won't update on Used Macbook Pro Retina

I purchased a used macbook pro retina and did the usually initial setup for the laptop. My issue is that these two stock apps won't update in the app store. I recieve a message asking me to login using the ID that was used to purchase the app. I am assuming this is the ID of the previous owner , which of course I do not have. Any Ideas ???

The MBP needs to be disassociated from the original owners Apple ID. The original owner needs to call Apple Care to request that. Or if you have a sales receipt that proves you legally have purchased the MBP they may do it for you.
Then the MBP needs to be wiped clean and the most recent version of OS X that shipped with the Mac installed using OS X Recovery. You can also reinstall the iLife apps, which you should accept into your Apple ID in the Mac App Store on the Purchaes pane.

IPhoto won't update, says it is associated with my boyfriend's Apple ID?

To be honest, this has been an on-going issue since April when an update came out for iPhoto. It kept asking me to sign into my Boyfriend's Apple ID to update- and, because I am a little lazy, I never did. Could I just ask him for his password? Sure. But, I'm really not sure how or why iPhoto-- and just iPhoto-- became associated with his account. Now that Mavericks is out and iPhoto has a new fancy update, I'd like to embrace the future!
As you can hopefully tell, the Apple ID is greyed out and I can't enter my own-- short of bothering Boyf for his stupid-complex password every time I need to up-date this one program, is there any particular reason this may've happened? Occasionally we are lazy and use his iTunes account on my machine and IIRC when I upgraded my OS from Lion to Mt. Lion he paid for it, and I used his Apple ID then, but I wouldn't think that would impact the individual programs.
I've tried resetting the App Store under the Debug menu, and then seeking downloads, and I'm not sure if deleting iPhoto and then redownloading it as new will be helpful as right now, except for the constant need of updates, I can USE the App, and I do use it daily, and ideally don't want to lose functionality (but, at the same time, I think I could pull it back from Time Machine so I should probably embrace deleting it temporarily without fear.)
I don't really know what I am doing.

Ahh, thank you! What a pain in the neck. I figure I must have been signed into his account at some other point in time, maybe after... watching a movie..? [Though, that'd be the iTunes store, right? Not the App Store.] Anyway, some situation must've occured where I absentmindedly updated and iPhoto is now tied up with his account.
I'll go ahead and contact support to see if they can get me sorted. I suppose I can just ask him for his password, but.. oh, you know, it's a temporary solution and I guess I was just hoping to easily get iPhoto properly associated with myself again. Thank you!
