Why iPhoto update isn't unavailable to my Apple ID?

I have a MacBook Air and I just updated to OS X Mavericks.
After the update, I can't access the iPhoto app anymore, because is not compatible with the Mavericks.
The problem is that I have been trying to update this app and a pop-up box appeared, saying
Update Unavailable with This Apple ID
This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID.
Sign in with that Apple ID and try again.
I don't have another Apple ID. I bought this Mac new in a apple store. It's always been mine and this app came installed in this computer.
If anyone could help me I'd be very thankfull.

Try moving your current iPhoto app to a folder in the Applications folder and then try the App Store again.

  • IPhoto updates from App store.

    Would anyone know why iPhoto updates from the App store seem to take ages to load.   
    They always seem quite large in content and for all I know could be replacing the entire
    iPhoto program.

    It seems pretty much in line to me.
    You have a 14000 kps download speed. That's about 1.4 MB per second - but... That's assuming you have only one download going, depends on the contention rate of the ISP, how fast your Mac can write to the HD and how fast the output from the server is.
    So, there can be considerable variation from download to download depending on these factors.
    But even if you divide the size of the download by the nominal speed (and divide that buy 60 to get minutes) you'll see that it's not far off. So, 740/1.4/60 you get 8.8 minutes or thereabouts.
    When your App checks for updates it basically says something like "Hello, I'm iPhoto v9.1.5, do you have an update for me". That's really all that Apple know. The update mechanism on your Mac performs a similar equation to get an estimate of the time.

  • Why SW update offering me the NVIDIA update....have ATI 3870

    Anyone know why Software Update wants me to install the Apple NVIDIA Graphics Update 2009 1.0, when my Mac pro has an ATI Radeon HD 3870 card?
    Thanks

    Most likely because the 7300 card is used in Mac Pros, so the firmware update is targeted for the computer to fix a problem with that video card.

  • I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it.  When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id". Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id" how do i fix

    I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it.  When I first try to open it the pop us says: "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. Version: 9.2.1"  When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id - These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID and they will be available in that Apple ID's purchases list.  If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the application".  I checked and there is nothing under the "purchases" in my App store.  Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canceled." Then the third pop up says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store.  Please try again".  Just want to know how do to fix.

    After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

    Got it! Thanx.  What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

  • Unable to update iPhoto and iMovie. "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID"

    I updated to Yosemite and all went well but for the message "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID" for the two apps iPhoto and iMovie. I have tried using the terminal window and used code that others have suggested and obtained a SmartSearch. I deleted everything in that folder and I still can't update these two apps. The other apps updated without problems. Thanks for any help.

    For a couple of years now, the verson of the iLife apps that come preinstalled on new Macs are the Mac App Store (MAS) versions. MAS apps have the Apple ID that bought them encoded in the app as an anti-piracy scheme. Since these apps are preinstalled, before using any of the three apps, the new Mac owner must open the MAS, go to the Purchases pane and accept these apps into their MAS account. This allows the MAS to encode the owners Apple ID into the apps.
    Failure to accept these apps into your account and have them encoded with your Apple ID before using one of them renders the apps "as is" and they cannot be updated or downloaded to another Mac. The only way that I know of to rectify the problem is to use OS X Recovery to erase the Mac and reinstall OS X and the iLife apps, so that the initial setup can be attempted again and the apps be accepted into the MAS account and encoded with the Apple ID.

  • Update Unavailable with the Apple ID - iPhoto

    Since the minute I downloaded the new OS X Mavericks 10.9 my iPHOTO app on my iMAC has a white line through it and is not compatible. Then EVERY time I try to update it in the app store I get the same message that many others have received --->
    Update Unavailable with This Apple ID
    This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID.
    Sign in with that Apple ID and try again.
    The iPhoto software came pre-installed on my iMac when I purchased it new in 2010 directly from the Apple store, so it was NEVER purchased or updated with a different Apple ID. And no one else has access to my account or my computer. I’ve never changed it my id. I started with Snow Leopard and have done all the operating system updates though now and iPhoto has always worked fine...until now. I have tried EVERY remedy posted on the support community thread and others, short of starting over and wiping my iMac clean. I was on the phone with 2 Apple advisors and a senior tech yesterday for 3 hours and no one could find a solution other than some apparent 24 hour self fix that some people are experiencing. Apple is supposed to call me back today to see if it magically fixed itself. Anybody else find any better solutions other than dropping my iMac off the top of a building?
    On a side note...(even though I know they stopped updating it) my iWeb app, which I still have all my websites created on, is now not functioning correctly. The writing/ words on any particular web page within the app are all scrunched together. Again, even through all the operating system updates, iWeb has always worked fine...until now.
    Thinking of backing up, wiping clean and going back to Mountain Lion...so far I'm not impressed with Mavericks.
    Any help or other suggestions with this problem would be appreciated.

    FOUND A SOLUTION:
    After 9 days back and forth with Apple and their senior advisors I finally spoke with one that was very helpful and would not quit until we resolved the problem. I tried EVERYTHING recommended on this thread and others, and NOTHING worked. The only solution right now is to have Apple Tech Support Senior Advisors contact iTunes to have them reset your App account. What FINALLY worked was:
    -backing up my computer to an ext hard drive
    -deleting iPhoto (drag it from the app folder to the trash) (Your iphoto home folder should still be saved in YOUR finder folder.)
    -empty the trash
    -At this point, sign out of the App store and then back in. If you see that you are able to purchase or upgrade at this point then go for it. IF NOT, then you have to go further as did I, b/c the App Store still would not let me upgrade, download or even purchase iPhoto.
    -Then the senior advisor had to get iTunes to reset my app store app from thier end.
    -After they did that, the senior advisor provided me with a redemption code for the latest version of iPhoto that I typed into the REDEEM section of the app store.
    -Then it downloaded and works just fine now.
    So the problem seemed to be on the iTunes / App Store end of things. After the App tech was able to get iTunes techs to "reset" my account (log in, passwords and info stayed the same) everything went very smoothly.
    It also has to do with people who purchased iMacs or Macbooks before the Mac App Store was introduced...or right around the same time it was. These legacy members who had the pre-install app DVD were not syncing up corerectly with the MAS and iTunes. Until they get the MAS and iTunes synced up and recogignizing the pre-install apps and software, this will continue to be a problem.

  • Why "Announcement: iPhoto update 7.0.1 available now" in iPhoto '08 forum?

    Why is the "Announcement: iPhoto update 7.0.1 available now" in iPhoto '08 forum?

    good question.
    Here we have the iPhoto 08 forum. But if you look at the About iPhoto listing (iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto), you'll see that what we have is iPhoto 08 (version 7).
    Clear? How about, iPhoto 08 is version 7 of iPhoto. See? That's not confusing in the least.
    But that's why the announcement is there.

  • Why did an iphoto update removed iDvd from share button?

    Lion os x 10.7
    Why did an iphoto update on 2-20-13 remove iDvd from share button in iPhoto?  Can you recoup the iDvd button on iPhoto?
    Thanks for any assistance.
    JN

    Because iDVD is not longer supported or offered by Apple.  So now you have to export any iPhoto slideshows at the large or medium size to your hard drive, place it where you will be storing QT movie files and then drag into an open iDVD project window being careful to avoid any drop zones in the menu window.
    If you place the file in the Movies folder you can acces it and iPhoto photos via the Media pane in iDVD.
    In iDVD follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • How do I figure out why iPhoto e-mail isn't working?

    I have used the e-mail within iPhoto for a long time and I've never had a problem. I use it usually to e-mail photos to myself for a particular purpose. Now all of a sudden, I can't get it to e-mail anything. I have tried re-starting the application and re-starting my computer. When I put my inputs in and click, "Send," the status bar shows, "Sending," but it never finishes, then I get an error that says, "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply. Check your internet connection. If the connection is working properly, the email server may be down. Try sending your email again later."
    Just to make sure there is no problem with my e-mail, I went into the e-mail program and sent an e-mail exactly the same way I am attempting to from within iPhoto (same e-mail addresses used), and my tests go through with no problem. I don't understand why iPhoto is having trouble with this.
    This just further exacerbates my annoyance that iPhoto started this whole "e-mailing from within iPhoto" thing a couple years ago. Before that, I was able to do the thing I am trying to do with much greater ease. I basically just need "medium" sized photos rather than these super large photo file sizes that iPhoto has. If I choose the "medium" size for e-mail, it's the perfect size. Before iPhoto changed, and it was integrated with the actual Mail application, I wouldn't have to send the photos to myself. It would put the photos into an e-mail, then I could just save those photos to my desktop. So you can see why it's so annoying that I feel stuck with this lack of being able to e-mail when all I really need are the "medium" sized photos!
    Thanks if you can help.
    Melanie

    But it is a better solution for me because, if you read my last paragraph of my original post, you'll see that's all I wanted to do in the first place. Having to e-mail photos was already not ideal for what I wanted/needed to do. So exporting to my desktop is actually a much better solution than e-mailing the photos to myself. I have no idea why I didn't think of it before.
    I did go in and check my e-mail client preferences in iPhoto and there's no reason it shouldn't be working. I don't know why it's not working but I don't care anymore. If I need to e-mail photos sometime in the future (it's something I almost never do), I'll address the problem again then (if it's still a problem).
    Larry, I really appreciate you trying to help me. Thank you.

  • Why can't I reload iPhoto Update 6.0.6

    My system crashed so I bought a new dual core 2.16GHz iMac5,1.
    I ran some routine updates including iPhoto 6.0.6.
    My engineer recovered my date from my old drive and gave it back to me as an external drive.
    In theory all I have to do is drag my old iPhoto package from the external drive into the applications folder and I should have all my photo back a process which certainly worked with iTunes.
    However iPhotos says 'You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto' Underneath it tells me I have made changes using a newer version of iPhoto and tells me to quit and use the latest version.
    However when I try to download iPhoto 6.0.6 again at the 'Select a Destination' stage I get the following error message. 'You cannot install iPhoto Update 6.0.6 on this volume. An eleigible iPhoto application was not found in the location /Applications/iPhoto.app
    I feel I am running round in circles. Can anyone help.

    Hi there, the same thing happened to me. I had help in another thread. IM8 actually. Did your new system not come with ILife 8 installed? My IP6 library was on another drive as well. So if 8 is in there, I could not open my 6 Library. I even tried to copy it to the new machine. The update you downloaded is for 6 not 8. I had to remove 8 from my system. I then took my IL6 discs and reinstalled. Then ran appropriate updates... I was then able to copy every thing over with no errors. The updates you ran were for 6 and you need 6 in there first to update. And you have 8. IM8 did not copy over 6. But IP8 copied over 6. I would be careful about getting the whole library into the 8 version as the app does things very differently. Back up before you do anything. By the way, I received the same exact errors, and never even opened the new installed IP app.

  • IPhoto update from iLife06 won't open HP Scans. Help?

    I decided to install iLife06 and had instant problems. I have a 2.5 Dual G5 running 10.3.9. and am using an HP 4890 scanner. Prior to installing the iPhoto update as part of iLIfe06, everything worked fine. I would scan a photo and transfer it to iPhoto and open it and work on it and whatever. Now...scans won't open in iPhoto. No matter how I try to sneak the scan into iPhoto, (via Preview, etc.), it won't open, freezes and has to be force quit. Reinstalled HP software to no avail. All the prior scans done on the same HP 4890, that were already in iPhoto, open fine, but new ones....nada. Had issue with iWeb too, not happy with this iLife06...how do I get rid of it, get back the old iPhoto, and back to serenity? If I use the original disks can I just install the old iPhoto?

    Hi redcatres,
    I do not know the answer of why the scans are not opening in iPhoto. Do you scan and save to a folder (not the iPhoto Library folder), then import into iPhoto?
    To get back to iPhoto 5, you would really need a backup of the iPhoto 5 Library folder that has not been updated to version 6 in order to keep your metadata such as comments and keywords, and also all your albums, slideshows, books.
    You can go back to 5 if you do not have a version 5 backup, but you will have to reimport your photos and lose your metadata.
    Steps:
    To reinstall iPhoto 5
    Drag the iPhoto Library folder in the Pictures folder to the desktop and rename it it iPhoto 6 library
    Navigate to /Applications and drag iPhoto to the trash
    Navigate to /Library/Receipts and drag all iPhoto receipts to the trash
    Navigate to ~/Library/Preferences and drag com.apple.iPhoto.plist to the trash.
    Insert your iLife 5 CD/DVD and choose to do a custom install. You will have to keep ongoing through the steps of the install before you get to the screen where you can choose a custom install.
    Install iPhoto.
    Run Software Update and update iPhoto to the latest version of 5
    Put your backup iPhoto 5 library in the Pictures folder and launch iPhoto.
    If you do not have a backup iPhoto 5 library:
    Open the iPhoto 6 library folder on the desktop
    -double click the iPhoto Library folder on the desktop to open it
    -the two main folders you will need to import are the Original folder and the Modified folder (only if you want to import the edited images).
    -the Originals folder has all your originals photos unedited. the Modified folder has all images that you have edited, rotated, cropped, etc.
    -Drag these two folders to the desktop
    -If you want to save the edited image, find it in the roll in the Modified folder and drag it into the roll of the same name in the Originals folder. It will replace the originals and now will be the original.
    -If you don't care to save any edited images, then don't import the Modified folder into iPhoto or don't bother replacing the edited image with the original image like I just described.
    -If you import the Originals folder into iPhoto you will have all your originals in their named rolls.
    -If you import the Originals and Modified folders into iPhoto, you will have all of the being in the originals folder in the finder. The roll with the same name as the other will have a _1 appended to it's name (in the finder)
    -the roll from the originals will be next to the same roll from the Modified folder within iPhoto. You can then delete any of the images from there if you want.
    I know this might sound confusing but it really isn't.
    Get back if any of this sounds like something you might want to do.
