The Iphoto is version 2008 but it won't let me upgrade to a newer version.
IMac, Mac OS X (10.0.x)
Give us thje exact version of iPhoto (click on iPhoto in the menu and select About iPhoto) and the system you're using.
What is the exact message that you're getting? Did you run any updaters prior to this happening or have any crashes or freezes?
OT
And what version of the OS do you have - your profile says OS X (10.0.x) Is that correct?
LN
Os is version 10.6.8
The exact Iphoto is 7.1.5 (378)
The message I'm getting is :
You can't open your iphoto library using this version of iphoto. You made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto.
When I could no longer open the photos on this computer I copied them to an external drive. I viewed the photos on a borrowed computer and was able to see them but now I'm getting the message to upgrade but again, when I go to upgrade it tells me I can't on this computer becuase OS 10.7.5 or later is required. I'm not given the option to upgrade to 10.7.5 though -- it says my software is up to date.
Thanks for your help!

1 - what version of iPhoto was on the borrowed computer? If it was a new version then it ask for permission to upgrade and explained that if yo upgraded you could not longer use the library with the older version
2 - OS X 10.7.x is a purchased upgrade from OS X 10.6.x - not a free update
Will your computer run OS X 10.8.x? That is the latest version of the OS and will run any version of iPhoto

I'm sure it was a more current version that was on the borrowed computer. I was concerned we lost all the photos. No, the computer won't let me upgrade to mountain lion.
Thanks LN
Do you have a backup of your iPhoto library that was not opened by your borrowed computer?
If not you need to purchase iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - it can "downgrade" your library to your current version

I'll check. Thanks very much for your help!

I can't access my iphoto library as I'm told I need to update iphoto. When I go to update it says there is no update available for this version -- HELP!
