Q: iPhoto update needed, but none available...

My iCloud menu shows that I need to update my Photo Stream, but when I go to the App Store to do so, it says "No update available."

Until I either update Photo Stream or iCloud recognizes that it's already up to date, I can't share photos on the stream.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009)

Sorry, I meant to say update iPhoto. I'm running iPhoto version 8.1.2. This is the message I receive in the iCloud menu about the iPhoto update:

So it tells me to update from the App Store:

But then I get this message:

I may have spoken too soon, because I don't have an iPhone yet so I haven't tested using iCloud to send photos to iPhoto. I just assumed since I can't set it up on my computer yet that it won't work when I get an iPhone next month.

Thanks for your reply

Photo Stream requires OSX 10.7.5 and iPhoto '11 - version 9.2.2

Shared PhotoStream requires OSX 10.8.2 and iPhoto '11 version version 9.4.x

Since you have iPhoto '09 you need to purchase an upgrade to iPhoto '11 and you may need to upgrade your OS - what version do you have?
