What version of iPhoto do I need to work with Photo Stream?

My photos taken on my iPad do not appear on my iMac even though  ICloud is set up and working.  I think the problem is that my version of iPhoto is 7.4 and I need 9.0 or above for iCloud to transfer photos without syncing.  I do not have iLife.  Will I have to purchase that in order to get the correct version of iPhoto so it will work with iCloud?  I don't really want iLife but if it is the only way i can get the iPhoto version I need, I guess I will have to purchase it.

"I do not have iLife"
Yes you do. It has been standard on all Macs for about 9 years.
"I think the problem is that my version of iPhoto is 7.4 and I need 9.0 or above for iCloud to transfer photos without syncing.  I do not have iLife.  Will I have to purchase that in order to get the correct version of iPhoto so it will work with iCloud?"
Yes, you will need to purchase iPhoto 9 to use iCloud Photo Stream.
Go to Apple menu > App store.
You can purchase only iPhoto 9 ?$14.99).
You do not need the entire iLife 11 package.

  • What version of iPhoto do I need to print a photo book?

    I have an old MacBook I'm using with OSX 10.6.2 and iPhoto 7.  I spent hours putting together a photobook only to be told it printing photo books is not supported in that version. However, iPhoto 9 is not compatible with my OSX. Any lesser version of iPhoto I can get so I can still print my photo book? Any other ideas for getting this printed?

    Print products are only supported for iPhoto '09, version 8.1.x, or iPhoto '11, version 9.x.x.
    If you cannot upgrade to any of these iPhoto version, consider to export your book as PDF and send this PDF to a third-party print service.
    See this support document:  Apple Photo Services: Product line details for books, cards, and calendars - Apple Support
    iPhoto 8.1.2 will work with your system. You would need to buy an iLife '09 installer DVD from Amazon or eBay, to have a full version of iphoto '09 to update to 8.1.2.

  • HT2513 What version of iCal do I need to use with Mac OS X Snow Leopard?  I upgraded to OS X 10.6.3 and my iCal 3.0.8 won't open.

    I just upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.3 and now my iCal 3.0.8 won't open at all.  What version do I need to or should I upgrade to and where do I find it? 

    The version installed with Snow Leopard since iCal is part of OS X. If you are trying to use iCal from a different drive and version of OS X, then it won't work. If the installed version of iCal in Snow Leopard is the wrong version, then there was a problem. Delete the wrong version then reinstall Snow Leopard:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • What version of iPhoto do you need to have for it to still work with the 10.10.3 update?

    I have a neighbor who has his iPhoto set up just the way he wants and does not want to use Photos.  On my system I lost the use of iPhoto completely with the upgrade, but do not care since I don't use it but he will.  I have told him not to upgrade until he is sure he has the correct version to allow him to continue using iPhoto.
    Thanks

    With MacOS X 10.10.3 your neighbour will need iPhoto 9.6.1.
    To be able to install this update he needs to upgrade at least to MacOS X 10.10.2.

  • HT5037 when I click on iPhoto(9.5.1)  i get "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared." but i downloaded the up-grader, used it and it tells me the library can open with the current version... what should i do now?

    When I click on iPhoto(9.5.1)  i get "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared." but i downloaded the up-grader, used it and it tells me the library can open with the current version... Then when I click on the iphoto again i get the same message "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared."'
    What should I do?

    The upgraded is only necessary for libraries created with iPhoto '07 or eearlier.  Just double click the library to open it in iPhoto, and let it upgrade, if it has been created by a newr version.

    No I have not tried those things. I don't even know what that means I suppose I have the newest version of aperature; I just bought it 4 days ago.

  • Can't open iPhoto "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple." Doesn't work...

    I've tried to open my iPhoto and a message box opens up and reads "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple." I update this and this message continues to pop up. I've even tried to rebuild it, but no matter what I do the same message appears and iPhoto still wpn't open. Can somebody please help me?!

    i'm having the same problem with my iMac (Mac OS X 10.7.5) . i haven't really made any updates to it and yesterday when i tried to access the iPhoto library of my MBP (from my iMac) is when problems started. The iPhoto on the iMac initially said I need to install the recent version of the iPhoto. Since I can't find a 9.0 download, I went to buy the iPhoto on the App store.
    When I tried to install iPhoto (version 9.4.3) to the iMac, I got this message:
    The iPhoto Library Upgrader is a tool that prepares libraries from iPhoto 5 or earlier, so you can upgrade them with the current version of iPhoto. You can download the tool here.
    Note: If your library is from iPhoto 6 or later, this tool is not required."
    I then installed the iPhone Library Upgrader, but I got the same prompt:
    'You can't open your current photo library using this version of the iPhoto. You have made changes to your library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
    I guess this takes me back to square one? I am inclined to buy the iLife on eBay with the iPhoto 9.0 version, but needed to know if this is the case before I unfortunately bite the bullet.

    What version of iPhoto. iPhoto 11 9.4.3 (720.91)
    What version of the Operating System. OSX 10.8.3
    Detail.  I Attach my camera and the fields where the photos usually show up are empty and at the top of the screen it says all photos from camera are downloaded. But they are not. They can't be.
    I fixed the problem somewhat myself by removing the miniSD and manually inserting it. It did not populate automatically. I had to open iPhoto and then it populated only the most recent photos I had taken which fortunately were the only ones I need. No error messages this seems to be a new occurrence.
    Is there a way to just turn iPhoto off and download my photos to the folder of my own choosing?

    Sure - in the iPhoto prefercences set action when a camera is ocnnected to Image Capture

  • What version  of iphoto to download from EOS 20D

    What version of iphoto or what software do I need to download images from my EOS 20 D Canon camera onto my computer? I currently have iphoto 2.

    Hi, kgaynes.
    Will iphoto 2 support 20D EOS cameras?
    Change the Image Capture pref to open iPhoto instead of PS CS, and find out. I don't know the answer, not having a 20D or iP 2 myself.
    Have you installed Canon's proprietary software that came with the 20D? There may be a driver included in that software bundle that's required for your camera to talk to your Mac via USB.
    It is possible, as you suggest, that iPhoto 2 doesn't support the significantly newer 20D. But if you change the Image Capture setting and install the software that Canon supplied, you should be able to find out whether or not that's true in fairly short order.

  • I am getting a message that my iphoto library cannot be opened because I mades changes to my photos in a newer version of iphoto and I need to quit and use the newest version of iPhoto.  but i cannot update it and or access my photos.  Help.  thanks.

    I am getting a message that my iphoto library cannot be opened because I mades changes to my photos in a newer version of iphoto and I need to quit and use the newest version of iPhoto.  but in update, it says i have no updates.   i dont even remember making changes in iphoto.Help.  thanks.

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • HT5037 To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared.

    I opened iphoto and got an error "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared."  What do I do?  My photos wont open for anything.  I have the latest version if iphoto.

    1 - NEVER import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library - it does not work and creates an incredibable mess
    at this point you need to go back to your backup from before you added the clipped image to it
    2 - exactly how did you "add" the clipped pic to your library (Skitch share to iPhoto ?)
    3 - we can not see your or your compter so details are critical - what version of iPhoto do you have? Of the OS?

  • What version of iphoto works with os x mavericks?

    What version of iphoto works with os x maverick?

    This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks.  It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
    Note 1:  every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
    Note 2:  If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto9.5.1.
