Upgrading our iPhoto for iCloud

I see that I need to upgrade my wife's and my iPhoto to use iCloud. I've been looking forward to having some way to have a single iPhoto library (when I try to use hers from my computer, I don't see her photos and she doesn't see mine).
When I buy the upgrade from the Mac app store, will that be for one of us (our iLife was a family purchase)? Will I need to buy it twice?

One copy of the app per machine is all you need.

How do I update iphoto for icloud?

Hello
I am trying to get iphoto to work on my icloud account.
I currently have iphoto version 8.1.2 (424).
I have Mac OS 10.7.4. I updated my Mac Book Pro to Lion a few months ago.
Please would someone explain in clear, simple steps exactly what I do to keep the photos I currently have on my mac, but to get icloud functioning so I can see them on my iphone too. If this is successful then I will purchase an ipad to repeat the process.
Thanks,
Sister Sage

Sister Sage,
to use iCloud with iPhoto you need to upgrade to iPhoto 9.3.x.
the upgrade from iPhoto 8.x to 9.x is not free; you will have to buy iPhoto again from the AppStore. Currently the AppStore only offers offers iPhoto 9.4, and that requires MacOS X 10.7.5 or 10.8.2 or later. So you probably need to update your MacOS first, to be able to buy the latest iPhoto version.
But you do not need iCloud to see your pictures on your Phone. Have you tried to enable syncing of Photos, when you sync your iPhone with your Mac using iTunes?

Update iPhoto for iCloud?!

hey there,
2 days ago i bought my new imac. and im pretty familiar with the system, but i cant get this together:
i want to update my iphoto for the icloud stuff. and when i go to the app store trying to update iphoto (it shows the available update) it wants me to actually BUY iphoto before i can update it. well i do think that about 2000 euro for the new imac including ilife, is enough for apple to give me an iphoto update which is actually free.
even when i download the update manually from the apple support page it redirects me to the appstore...
i would appreciate a solution to this problem.
thanks in advance.

thanks for the quick answer.
well it wont find any updates. its all up to date.
is it normal that ilife wont show up in the list of installed software for System Preferences > Software Update?
i took the way via icloud system preference telling me that an update is neccessary, then i went into the app store. seeing the update clicking on it the app store app tells me to "log in with the account i bought this product with."

I purchased upgrade to Iphoto for my Mac OSX and never got any download why?

Wondering if I did something wrong, but it shows that I purchased the ap

Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have a backup of the library (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Has anyone successfully used OSX Lion with Logic 8, a Digi002 and Digidesign's Coreaudio? Need to know for iCloud update.

I need to upgrade to Lion for iCloud and to shift my mobile me iDisk to iCloud in order to save the content I have and need to share.
Anyone using Logic 8 with this? I want to be sure, as I can't afford to upgrade everthing just yet.
Thanks

I can give a partial answer.
If you're installing Lion over the top of Snow Leopard Logic should be fine, it you're going to run a clean install of Lion, Logic 8 will not install but will run if you can copy it over from a working SL install.
Update: This thread has info on how to install Logic 8 on a clean install of Lion.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18270040#18270040
The other issue are Digi's Core Audio MIDI drivers, they don't seem to be Lion compatible yet so while you may have the audio part of the interface working with Lion, you have to remove the MIDI drivers or Logic chokes while booting up. (unless there are new drivers I don't know about) Perhaps others have more info on the Digi situation.

I had an apple ID which I used for iCloud. I upgraded the iCloud account and changed the apple ID to a @me address. Now I can't view what was in my original apple ID account. How can I get what was stored on the original account?

I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

HT4431 I am trying to use IPhoto on Icloud and have to upgrade it. Told since I am at 8.1.2 I need to upgrade to 9.0.1 first , then 9.1 and then 9.2.1 but I cannot find it to download.

When I go to software updates on my computer it says there are no updates available. When I try to manually update, it brings me to 9.1, not 9.0.1. I already have downloaded 9.1 but it isn't installed because says I need to download 9.0 first.

Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting an iphone 5c. Want to transfer data to new phone. Currently all our family devices on one apple ID for purchases and it is the same for icloud. I want to create a new one for icloud for this iphone. What do I do?

Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting iphone 5c this weekend. Currently our family has several apple devices and they have the same apple ID for itunes and it is the same ID that we use for icloud. I want to set up a separate icloud ID so that it is only on my new device. I still want to keep the same apple ID for purchases. Can I do this and better yet when do I do this...before the purchase, after the purchase and backing up of data. Where do I go to create a new one?

Figured it out. Thanks.

HT201318 How do I get a refund for iCloud storage upgrade

How do I get a refund for iCloud storage upgrade? I just purchased the icloud storage today but do not need it. It says you can get a refund within 15 days but I can't seem to find a number to get refund.

Is there a way of viewing iPhoto for iPad Journals or Photostream Pics via the iCloud service?

Is there not a way of viewing either Photostream images or iPhoto for iPad Journals via the iCloud Service?
It seems very odd that you don't seem to be able to do this when they are both touted as using the iCloud service to actually share the images.
Or am I missing something?

Wow, thanks!
Looks like the basic version of LogMeIn will serve my need here very nicely.

You are only as young as you feel......
This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.

Why is the item count in Photos for Mac significantly higher after upgrading from iPhoto?

Since upgrading to Photos for Mac from iPhoto, I've noticed the number of photos and videos in my library is higher than what I had before. Granted I imported some photos into the new app since then but taking that into account there's still a big discrepancy.
In iPhoto 9.6.1, the item count is 13,394 and I have since imported 95 new items into Photos for Mac. The total then should be 13,489 but Photos for Mac lists the item count at 13,626. That's a difference of 137 items.
Even taking into consideration that Photos for Mac might be including the 32 photos and videos that were in iPhoto's Trash (now Recently Deleted) folder, it still wouldn't account for 105 mystery items.
Does anyone have any insight into this difference in the number of items?

While upgrading my iPhone5 OS to iOS 7 'Term & Condition' page for iCloud keep coming even after Agreeing multiple times.

Hi,
I am upgrading the OS of my iPhone5 to iOS7 directly from the device.
It downloaded and started upgrade. During the upgrade process I got stuck in 'Terms & Condition' for iCloud.
I clicked on 'Agree' buttom multiple times. Still itnstallation is not moving forward. It always remains in the same page.
Now I cannot come out the installation process. Even the 'Disagree' option is not taking me out from the 'Terms & Condition' page.
What may be the possible reason? Am I going wrong anywhare?
Regards,
Rajesh
