Why can't I update the iphoto app on my mac (says not available in Canada)?

When I click on my iphoto it says it cannot open because it needs to be updated, yet when I try to update it in the App store it says it is not available in my region (Canada). This makes no sense, why shouldn't I be able to have/use iPhoto anymore?

Here's another possible means to get iphoto 9.6.1 posted by Terence Devlin:

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

    found this
    I had the same problem, and found the solution in other thread:
    "This worked for me: (make sure Facetime is closed)
    1. In Spotlight type in "Keychain Access"
    2. There will be a certificate issued by Apple iPhone Device CA - This certificate was signed by an unknown authority. Delete this certificate (or move it to the desktop, out of the keychain access store)
    3. Launch Facetime and login - this time there will be no error..."

  • HT4972 why can't i update the software on my ipad model MB292LL?

    Why can't I update the software for my IPad model MB292LL? The ios is 5.1.1 and I have seen newer ios versions come out. Also, many apps aren't available for my Ipad because of the ios. Is this Apple's way of forcing you to buy a new IPad? If so, that *****!

    The 1st generation iPad can not be upgraded beyond 5.1.1

  • Why can't i have the Facetime App on my iPhone 4?

    Why can't I have the Facetime App on my iPhone?

    Very Vague question.
    Why do you think that you cannot?
    Tap contacts, pick the contact you want to call, scroll down to the facetime button.
    What is your issue?

  • Why can't i find the instagram app for ipad in the App Store?

    why can't I find the instagram app in the App Store for the ipad?  There is one for the iphone...

    Perhaps because the "Instagram" App is optimized only for the iPhone 5 currently and there is no Instagram App for the iPad only at this time???
    I don't see one listed in the U.S. App Store.

    Why can't i update the ios for my ipod? I'm stuck at 3.1.3. Please help.
    I have itunes updated but it doesn't show that an update is available for the ipod.

    Probably because yu have a 1G iPod that can only go as high as 3.1.3. To identify your iPod:

    I cannot update the iphoto ap on my mac os x because it looks for the ID I used when buying it and I forget the password to that email.
    The emails is obsolete so I cannot get the password from the service provider.
    I have another Apple ID and password which I use - but it won't let me update the iPhoto I bought with THIS cMac

  • Every time I try to update the 4s or 4 it is saying not enough storage. I am really hating this phone now because I am not going to buy storage. We have 5 iPhones on our account and now because of iCloud it does this.

    your iCloud storage isnt part of your phone, that is a back up for your phone, you have to delete things on your phone, so I recommend backing up your photos to your computer or iCloud since im sure thats whats taking up all your storage, then delete the photos on your phone and then update your phone using iTunes on your computer.

  • Why can't I download the latest iTunes to my mac which is a 10.5.8

    I have got myself in a real mess, I installed the new iOS 7 onto my iPad and I don't like it so I imported all my new photos to my mac, then I reset all my settings on my iPad thinking that it would go back to the original settings but alas didn't work.
    Then I thought I would put up with it but now I cannot put my photos etc back onto the iPad because my mac needs the version of iTunes but when I try to install the new version I get a messy come up that iTunes cannot install this new version on my mac which is a 10.5.8.
    So now I am stuck with the software on the iPad I don't like and I cannot sync the iPad to iTunes
    So why can't I download the new version of iTunes to the mac which is 10.5.8

    Put simply, the minimum system requirements for iTunes have changed. You need a Mac running at least OS X 10.6.8.
    It's best you look online to see if your model of Mac can be upgraded to at least 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard". It should still be possible to order a copy of Snow Leopard if so.
