My 2022 MacBook Air needed about 6 apps updated. I clicked "Update All" and all were updated EXCEPT iPhoto. Instead, a message popped up saying "iPhoto cannot be updated because it was refunded or purchased with a different Apple ID." But all the apps in question came with the device! How can I get iPhoto updated as well?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.3
iPhoto was discontinued 7 years ago. It is no longer developed or sold. It was replaced by the more powerful (and free) Photos.app that comes with the OS. You can migrate to that app very simply:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch Photos. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and point at your iPhoto Library. It will do the rest.
If you prefer not to use Photos there are several 3rd party apps that you can use. Which to choose depends on the kind of photographer you are and your budget.

Throw it away and use Photos or a non-Apple alternative instead. Even if you get around this issue, iPhoto still can't be opened in Catalina or newer.

Thank you, Yer_Man. I’ll try your suggestion today.
iPhoto cannot be updated but other apps can.
