Upgrading from iphoto 8 to iphoto 9 on macbook pro

Do I have to pay for this upgrade as it is obviously an old one?  Also, what are the most significant new features?
Also, ought I consider upgrading further?  Online reviews seem to be negative on this latter question.
Thanks for your comments.

Yes it requires a purchase. Only you can decide if you want to upgrade, but bear in mind that you can find proof online that the world is flat.

  • Upgrading from Firewire 400 to 800 on Original Macbook Pro

    Is it possible to upgrade my original Macbook Pro Firewire 400 port to an 800 port? And will it perform at 800 on the original Macbook Pro?
    This is my situation:
    I will be recording on a Canon HD VIXIA HF S10 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder. You can record to an internal memory of 32GB or a 32GB removable SDHC card. The camcorder does not provide a Firewire port, only USB 2.0. I figure if I use the card to record on, I can then use a Firewire 800 card reader to transfer the large HD video file to the laptop, believing this would be considerably faster than the direct USB 2.0 from the camera (I could be wrong). I will edit the film and then save it to an external portable 800 Firewire hard drive for storage. I will be backpacking which means the weight, size, durability and speed all matter for this process. I am just trying to decide which setup is best for my camcorder, computer and external hard drives. Thanks.

    FireWire 800 can potentially be much faster than USB 2.0. It is that way with hard disks for sure.
    You cannot upgrade the port inside your machine. What you can do is get a FireWire 800 card like this one and stick it into your ExpressCard slot.

  • I'm having trouble upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion on MacBook Pro

    I'm having issues trying to upgrade to Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro. I'm running the latest version of Snow Leopard but everytime I try to buy the app in the apple store to upgrade to Mountain Lion it alerts me that my system is not compatibale. I don't' understand I read all the requirements and I meet all of them. My MacBook Pro is from mid to late 2007, I have 3G's of RAM, I have an Intel Duo Core 2, I'm running the latest Snow Leopard.
    Anyone else encounter this problem? Any suggestions?

  • How to export photos from iPhoto on a MacBook Pro to an iPhone 5s?

    I'd like to be able to sync all my photos on iPhoto with my new iPhone 5s.  I'm missing a significant amount of photos after switching from 4s to 5s (I lost my 4s so I didn't have a chance to back up right before I lost it, however I did back it up within a few weeks of losing it).
    Thanks for your help.

  • How can i upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 8.1.2 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8 ?

    How can I upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 8.1.2 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8 ?

    With the above listed config that I have (iphoto 7.1.5 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8), how can I move my iPhoto library from this old iMac (2006) to my NEW iMac (2011) that is running iPhoto 9.5.1 ?
    To open an iPhoto 7.1.x version in iPhoto '11 you need to run the iPhoto Library Upgrader. See this Support document:
    iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrade
    Download and install the upgrader,  then run it on your iPhoto 7.1.5 library. After that, iPhoto will be able to open your library and upgrade it to version 9.5.1. And you will be able to merge the libraries with if Library Manager.

  • I am trying to chose an upgrade from iPhoto to either lightroom or photoshop elements 10

    I am trying to chose an upgrade from iphoto to either lightroom or photoshope elements 10, and would appreciate any comments/advice
    Thanks for your time
    Sandy

    Elements and LIghtroom are different categories of app. Elements is a pretty straight up editor. Lightroom is database driven photo manager with lossless processing. Simply, Lightoom would be the upgrade to iPhoto.
    That said, there is no upgrade path from iPhoto to these apps. You will need to export from iPhoto to the Finder - a process that means you will lose something of the work you have done in iPhoto already.
    If your reason for upgrading is to add editing power then you can use Elements as an extenral editor to iPhoto:
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    If the Limitation you see in iPhoto is primarily photo managment then have a look at Aperture. Half the price of Lightroom, much better manager, complete with OS integration.
    If you're shooting Raw then Lightroom or Aperture are the way to go.
    You can set Elements as an external editor in either.

  • Upgrade from iPhoto or Aperture 2 library?

    I have Aperture 2 installed alongside iPhoto. The libraries are nearly identical with some recent shots since yearend in iPhoto but not yet transferred to Aperture 2, but they easily could be. I have purchased Aperture 3, and I am wondering am I better off upgrading from iPhoto or Aperture 2? I am running the latest software for OS X and for both applications. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Either would do but Aperture is more capable overall - a pro app vs the consumer iPhoto). Since you bought Aperture it would seem sensible to use that. No advantage I can think of to using both which I think is a recipe for confusion.

  • Upgrade from iPhoto 09 to Aperture 3.3

    I am thinking about getting Aperture 3.3 and upgrading from iPhoto 09. I don't think I see an advantage of using iPhoto in the future. Do you still have the option to just convert over to an Aperture library (pre 3.3) without sharing between libraries? Thanks, Jeff

    If your current iPhoto version is iPhoto 9.3.x, and you opened the iPhoto Library at least once in this version, you can simply open your iPhoto library in Aperture 9.3.1; no conversion necessary.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5260

  • MobileMe albums not visible in Aperture after upgrade from iPhoto

    I've just upgraded from iPhoto to Aperture and all went well, except that my mobileme albums aren't appearing. I published a test album which worked, but my existing ones don't appear.
    I've read on another thread that a dodgy character in an album name caused a similar problem but I can't see anything that looks odd in my mobileme album names.
    Any ideas?

    I had the exact problem and found the solution here.

  • Upgrading from iphoto 4 to i photo 7 on Leopard

    How can I upgrade from iphoto 4 to iphoto7 (08) - and keep all my albums/ keep the dates the photos were shot - all that good stuff?
    I am trying to upgrade from i photo 4.0.3 to i photo 7.1.4 - it keeps erasing all my albums and massively duplicating the size of my photo library ( I think it is duplicating photos) .. went from 47 GB to over 100 GB after it was through "upgrading" .. this happens when choosing the upgrade option after it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library"
    choose upgrade and then I wait over and hour as it goes through all my pictures - some out of order -- and I see some twice . . .
    What is the correct procedure here? I just got an i mac, early 08, running leopard . When installing leopard- i chose the option to firewire to my old ti book (G4) to copy everything over . . . My I photo library was on an external drive -- so I've dragged that folder into the pictures folder of the new mac . it knows where the folder is ... finds it -- then just goes haywire .
    Help!?

    Nope ,
    didnt work --
    the error seems to be happening at this stage (just a guess ) -- It says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library."
    then I choose to "import the photos" . . .
    now , the first time I chose this - I thought I should pick the option not to import the pictures ... this was actually kind of great - cause I wanted a way to get all of my original photos out of their i tunes folders -- which is what this option did ... (good thing I had a backup!) Ironically - this time - Iphoto contained all of my albums and such --- but they were all empty -- and there were no photos! . .
    ok -- so I tried to go back and import the photos -- would it know to put them in the right albums? nope .
    Ok --
    so I deleted all of that - and dragged my backup i photo from external drive #2 back into external drive #1 . . went through the process agan - and this time i photo has all of my albums- but they are all empty -- and all the 34,000 pictures occur under an event that occur today . ...
    wrong - delete - start over again . .
    so what do I do now?
    I still have an i photo lib -- the same as the original -- I've kept that backed up . ..
    should I reinstall i photo 7 (08) to wipe it clean and try it one more time ?
    Sould I just use i photo 4? - can I on leopard?
    Is there a tutorial/instructions on upgrading from 4 to '08? that would be ideal. - I see I'm not the only one struggling with this issue -- as the thread you responded to here illustrates .
