Hello, everybody.
I'm not English, so I'm sorry for the mistakes. I know, that iPhoto '09 is now free, so I want to update it. But there isn't any updates available. Neither in Polish system language nor in English. I installed my iPhoto '09 with DVD. I reinstalled it and there isn't available update, again. Do you have some idea how I could update it?
MacBook, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Change your language to US English, go to the App Store, log in with the Apple ID you used to download Mavericks and check both the Purchases and Updates sections to see if 9.5 is listed.
Then if you're still having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
2 - select the Debug âž™ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.

It doesn't work 😟 I reset application and it doesn't work :/
How about downloading the free version of GarageBand 9.5?
The Terminal application is located in the Applications/Utilities folder. Launch it and copy and paste
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
into the window followed by the Return key. Then go to the App Store and look for the Debug menu in the menu bar.
Garageband is also free. Doesn't it appear as a free update?
No. None of my iLife '09 applications has an update. Every is workin on 8.x.x version. I've already done the debug menu, I have reset the App Store and there isn't any update. I even tried to change the system language into German! It doesn't work. And I tried to search the update by the iPhoto app.
And it appears:

I end here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/upgrade/
iPhoto 09 is not free. Neither is iPhoto 11.
The update to iPhoto 11 is free to people who already own it, regardless of where they got it from - App Sore or Disk.
If you have iPhoto 09 (that's v8) then upgrading to iPhoto 11 v9.5 requires a purchase.
There is something else wrote here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2509?viewlocale=en_US
No
Something else is NOT written there. It clearly is about updating iPhoto '11. It says nothing about UGRADING to iPhoto '11 from older versions
If you own iPhoto '11 you can update to the latest version (iPhoto '09) for free. If you do do not own iPhoto then you must purchase it

That document describes updates to iPhoto '11, not upgrade from iPhoto ´09 to iPhoto '11.
To upgrade from any iPhoto ´09 version you need to buy iPhoto ´11. Then you can update fro free to the newest version.
But I have read a lot of statements, that people have updated iWork '09 to iWork '11, but i can't update iLife '09 to '11?
But I even don't have my iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand in my App Store Purchases.
You can update to iPhoto/ iWork. It just requires that you purchase the apps.
So anyone doesn't care I paid for the iLife '09 box version? Now I have to pay again?!
Well I'm sure there are lots of people in Apple who care that you bought iLife 09.
I bought iLife 6, iLife 08, iLife 09, iLife 11, as well as the various versions of iWork along the way.
Updates - bug fixes and so on - where the principal number doesn't change (i.e. from v8 to v8.1.2) are free.
Upgrades - new features - where the principal number changes (v8 to v9) require a purchase.
Nothing new there...
And you don't have to pay for anything. You can keep using 09. If you want the newer features then you pay to upgrade.
Ok, Thank You all for your help and information. Thank You very much. 🙂
Here is the list of boxed applications that can be updated for free with Mavericks:
