When I search for new updates in iPhoto its comes with the message " new update availible" and then I open software update in the app store. Software update doesn't see any new updates. I downloaded the 9.4.3 manualy and then I get a warning that I need iPhoto 9.1 or higher. I don't know what to do now.
OS X version 10.8.3 iPhoto 9.4.2
iMovie '11, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Try clicking on the Purchases button in the App Store and see if iPhoto is listed there.
OT
iPhoto is not listed. I don't know if this information is helpfull but I bought my iMac with iLife in 2010 and updated to OS X Mountain Lion in august 2012. All the other updates from iMovie etc work fine. Many thanks for your help
Did the IMac come with install disks? If so the use the software install disk to reinstall iPhoto and go thrue the updaters. The disk will be like one of these:
Thanks Toad. I can now update to 9.4.3. I reinstalled iPhoto from the iLife disk and update first to 9.1 and then to 9.4.3.
Hi Toad. I thought it was fixed but still when I go to 'about iPhoto' he give version 9.4.2. It installed succesfully from the app store to 9.4.3. When I now from iPhoto 'search for updates' it still says that there is a new version 9.4.3. I go again to the app store and then the message is no updates availible. Then I installed my manualy downloaded 9.4.3. No warnings. The update was succesfully installed but still is the version 9.4.2. Any suggestions
Have you rebooted since the installation?
I had the same thought so I rebooted it after updating. It is still on 9.4.2. Strange isn't.
That is strange. Try deleting the iPhoto preference and cache files and then relaunch iPhoto:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and check it's version again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
I deleted the preference file and the cache.db. No result. Version is still 9.4.2. When I search for updates the message still comes up that there is a new version. When I go to the app store the answer is no update availible. Than I tried again manualy the 9.4.3 update. No result. Still 9.4.2. Other ideas. Thanks for your help I appreciate it very much
Looks like there is a standalone updater here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
