iphoto keeps sending me back to update after ive updated?

updated to yosemite i photo updated but keep sending me back to update page, round and around we go.....

So you updated iPhoto to iPhoto 9.6? That is the only version that is fully compatible with Yosemite.

And are you running iPhoto 9.6 from the Applications folder? The Dock icon might still be linked to an older version, or you might be running the previous version from a backup drive. That would explain prompts to backup. Launch your new iPhoto version by clicking the icon in the Applications folder.

Your question links to this document: iPhoto '11 or later: About the Library Upgrader

Are you seeing a prompt to upgrade the iPhoto Library? You need to run the Library Upgrader for iPhoto Libraries created by iPhoto 7.1.2 or earlier. iPhoto 9.6 cannot upgrade these libraries directly to the new format. They need to be prepared. If you upgraded from a very old iPhoto version, download the upgrader as described in the link, install it, and then run it on your iPhoto library. It will be installed in applications > Utilities.

hi leonie yes ive done the upgrader thanks for swift reply

That's good.

And as to the sending you round and round - have you made sure, that you are launching the new installed iPhoto 9.6?

What is the exact error message you get, when you try to launch iPhoto?

Did you install it, then go to your Applications/Utilities folder and double click on it to run it?

oh i see what the problem was i did not open from applications i thought it auto updated from download, what a tool i am lol only downloaded it about 20 times...

If iPhoto is now running from Applications, update your Dock icon.

Ctrl-click the icon of the running iPhoto, select "Options", then check "Keep in Dock".

Thank you. Worked like a charm. I was launching the older docked version.
