“If you are using an earlier version of iPhoto 9:

If you purchased iPhoto on the Mac App Store, or if it was preinstalled on your computer along with OS X Lion (or later) , you can update iPhoto on the *Mac App Store*.

If you installed iPhoto from the iLife ʼ11 DVD, or if it was preinstalled on your computer along with OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.8 (or earlier), you can update iPhoto with Software Update (choose Software Update from the Apple () menu).”

when i do the “apple check for updates, no iPhoto update appears.

when i click the Mac App Store click, a window asking me This link needs to be opened with an application.

I click app store. ——> app store opens, no updates available.

so how so i fix this so all my photos i take with my iMac, iPad, iPhone will be on iCloud?

thank you.

You need to purchase the upgrade to iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x - backup your iPhoto library, go to the app store and sign in with your Apple ID (if you used one to set up the computer then sign in using it) and purchase and install version 9.5.x

back up on time machine or export?

there is connection to icloud at all.

either - as long as you have a good backup in case of problems - I like to make a copy of the library in addition to my normal time Machine backup but it is not necessary

i'm downloading iPhoto. i'll let you know if that section in iCloud is still grayed out.

it worked! thank you!
