Why does iPhoto not update via Software Updater in Lion?

So now we have to check for updates in two different places? Lion is getting dumb and dumber.
I hate Lion, too bad the newest iMacs won't run SL thanks to newest hardware config.
Anyone else think this is just insane?

Ah, and now they want me to verify my credit card info to update from iPhoto 9.1 to 9.2?!?
I think not.
I am seriously going to look at Windows 7 next time.
This is insane.

  • Why does iphoto 11 tell me to update library every time i open it?

    why does iphoto 11 tell me to update library every time i open it?
    iPhoto '11 OSX 10.8.5
    I open iphoto and I get the message
    "the Photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto"
    I click upgrade and after a few seconds the photos show fine, the application works correctly.
    then I quit the app. and reopen and i get the same message and the same results.
    this was happening before I did a complete erase of the Macbook Pro and install of Mt Lion
    upgraded from lion.
    only thing thats the same is the computer and the library I restored.
    RT

    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 early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    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.

  • No 10.4.7 update via Software Update nor manually for MBP

    Via Software Update, I have applied the 10.4.7 update to a variety of machines, but, for some reason I have yet to determine, my MBP will a) not "find" the updated via Software Update to date and b) upon downloading both the intel Combo and Delta updaters manually, the installer returns this error:
    "You cannot install Mac OSX Update Combined (Intel) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
    I have rebooted, cleared caches, repaired permissions, ran DFA, etc. I removed some items from the Login Items area of my account in the Accounts pref pane. I have removed a launchd User Agent I created with Lingon. Each subsequent attempt check to Software Update says, "no new software" and each attempt to install manually results in the aforementioned error.
    On this particular MBP, I have 2 partitions; my primary, large, daily use partition and a smaller, "rescue" partition with a functional OS on it. Running the manual installer allows me to select (and, sucessfully update) the "rescue" partition (which I did do). I booted from the "rescue" partition and, when selecting my primary partition during a manual update via the Combo or Delta installers, get the same error as mentioned earlier. So, booting from an entirely different "drive", I get the same error.
    I also downloaded the combo version of the 10.4.6 installer thinking I may have a busted component somewhere preventing the recognition of this laptop as an elligible candidate for 10.4.7. It returns the same, exact error I get trying to manually apply the 10.4.7 Combo/Delta updates.
    During my installation attempts, the drive has had upwards of 14GB free. I did apply the MBP 15" firmware update that was released a while back.
    The Quicktime 7.1.2 update was recognized as available via Software Update and I installed it with no problems.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mike
    MacBook Pro 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Core Duo 2.0GHz/2GB

    I eventually did an archive and install to get 10.4.7 installed on my MBP the last time around. Now 10.4.8 is doing the same thing. Neither via Software Update nor manual downloads of Intel delta or combo updaters will apply. Arg!
    Has anyone else seeen this? I've tried applying the update while booted regularly and also in safe boot to no avail.

  • Why does iphoto not copy all photos when transfering

    Hi peeps.
    why does iPhoto not copy all photos from an event when im copy/pasting to an external folder on my mac(for later transfer). All softwares are up to date and ive only just realised it happens, but when i copy all pics in an event then paste in a folder, the pic count is substantially different. for example i select all pictures in an event called 'new1', the count of files is 188. i then copy/ paste to a folder,  select all files and check 'info' and it says 141 files??? 
    all i can see painstakingly going through to compare which images are in each place is that the ones that arent in my new folder , seem to be the ones ive edited in iPhoto??  conincidence? or am I missing something fundamental here?  Ive only just realised this is occuring. The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I  subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.  So basically all of the versions of pictures I want, i.e, the new edited and adjusted versions are no longer! NOT HANDY!
      help please.

    We've seen a few reports of this in the past while and no one is sure of the cause.
    Use the File -> Export command. See this User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    for details of the options the Export Dialogue offers.
    If you're interested in your Photos then this workflow
    The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I  subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.
    means you are losing quality, metadata and the version of control. If you don't want these why use iPhoto at all?
    You could just move the whole Library to an external:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Why does iphoto not import my photos from my camera?, why does iphoto not import my photos from my camera?

    why does iphoto not import my pictures?  is it because i used to have a pc and the camera is set up for that?  i photo can view the pictures but will not save them.

  • Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

    Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

    There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
    Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

  • Why does iPhoto not launch after update to version 9.3.2?

    Double clicking the application icon causes it to bounce 3 or 4 times in the dock and then quits. Trying to open with command + option will not launch for a rebuild. Holding down the option key illicits the same behavior.
    How can I downgrade to 9.3.1 or make 9.3.2 work? It was working perfectly before the upgrade.
    My other computer (a recent MacBook Pro) shows 9.3.1 version and software update shows it's up to date. It works great.

    Still will not launch in new user account.

  • ITunes 10.4.1 will not download via Software update after I click to agree to terms, nothing happens

    I have OS Lion and went to Software Update to get the latest iTunes 10.4.1 (currently running 10.4 64 bit).  Software Update notifies me of the update, I click install, and then I agree to new terms....and that's all that happens.  Software Update remains open yet idle, nothing is being downloaded and there isn't a progress window with blue indicator for the time remaining.  I've tried several times, even switched to 32 bit version of iTunes to no avail.  I've never had an update do this and am wondering if anyone else is having this issue.
    I've thought to download iTunes 10.4.1 fresh from Apple (ie not through Software Update) but don't want to risk screwing up the iTunes that I currently have, which at least works.
    Any ideas?  I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.

    nothing will be screwed up.
    but, if it makes you feel better, do this:
    download the iTunes standalone installer
    reboot into safe mode
    run a permission repair session using disk utility
    run the installer
    let the Mac reboot normally

  • Can't update via software update. Error on iTunes! How to contact support from Ukraine?

    I reinstalled Lion via internet recovery and now Software Update crashes. I can't update or install new software. Error on itunes!

    Hi,
    The first generation iPad is limited to iOS 5.1.1. This is due to the original iPad not having enough power or memory to get to iOS 6, 7 or any further in the future.
    All other iPads and iPad Minis can get to the current version - iOS 7.0.4 and at least until the end versions of iOS 7 or iOS 8.
    Hope this helps, and Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

  • Can't update via Software Update

    I try to run software update and get this error message.
    Could it have anything to do with a messup i did following these instructions?
    http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/30/change-software-update-frequency-os-x-mountain-li on/
    I switch via the sudo command in terminal the frequency with which SU checks Apple servers to every day (Like I had chosen under Lion). Can't sadly remember if this is the first time I ran SU after the modification.
    Any help, guys?

    Try downloading the update file separately from here:
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/04/14/ios-4-3-2-download/
    The links are direct to the Apple download server
    Then update the phone from the downloaded file  (shift-click the update button to get a finder dialog)

  • HP Support Assisstant - why does it not recommend all driver updates for the model?

    I use HP Support Assisstant, and it is configured to update my machine weekly. I have had video problems and now have audio problems.  How come certain KEY drivers are not coming through on Support Assistant automatically?  What's the purpose of having a weekly update if it's not consistent and I have to do research on drivers anyway?

    OK, what operating system are you using?  When the printer reportedly goes offline, does it still have a valid IP address from the router (print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer - make sure the IP is not 169.254.x.x nor 0.0.0.0)?
    If it still has a valid IP, then the issue is not with the printer, but more likely the router or operating system.  If you are using Windows, download and run this utility: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-104282-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...

  • Why does iphoto not play my movies

    I have a macbook pro. I have transferred photos and movies from SD cards that are otherwise part of my Nikon D 5100 and Panasonic TZ 40. After initially loading the photos and movies, all movies were playing as expected. However, somewhere after updating to OX 10.9.4 they have stopped playing. The icon for the movie still shows, but the time of the movie appears as ZERO. When I click to play, the movie loads begins to play but ends almost immediately.
    Currently the movies are not playing.

    Select one of the videos in iPhoto and user the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option.  Does that take you to the full video file in the Masters folder?  COPY it to the desktop and see if it will play with Quicktime Player.
    When you rebuild the library what options did you select?

  • Why does iPhoto not open after Yosemite install?

    I just installed Yosemite and iPhoto says I need an upgrade before it will open and I do not know where to find the upgrade. I have not been able to find it in the app store.

    Thanks for the reply but that did not help. I was actually in the Mac App Store (the blue icon with the A). So am still looking for a solution. I don't ever remember doing an iPhoto upgrade and wondering if that could have something to do with it perhaps not recognizing the version I had!

  • Why does iphoto not import my photos chronologically into events

    I have just updated to the latest version of iphoto and infuriatingly whenever I now import photos, rather than placing them at the bottom of the series of events in chronological order, iphoto now imports them as the second event next to photos from 2000, so I have to move them manually down to the bottom, even though the date being shown is correct, can anyone help?

    I have the same. I think it changed with iPhoto 11. I drag them all the way down all the time. Try to set the chronological order, under "Presentation" (sorry I work in a French version Presentation is at the left side of "Window") and then right in the middle "sort events" and check chronological order. Hope this helps.
