I cant upgrade to iPhoto 4.0.1

[bopsi]

My iPhote 4.0 works fine but if I wanna upgrade to 4.0.1 iPhoto app change its icon and the file is only about 7Mb and it doesnt work at all. There after I can easly install old version 4.0 again. I tryed with auto update OSX system aswell as with D/L file from Apple's web page. Any idea what is going on on my system??

thanks for advice

It sounds like you moved the iPhoto.app out of the default Applications folder. Put it back and then upgrade and it should all go fine.

I havent done that. iPhoto IS in APP folder.

Repair permissions first and try again.

If you've upgraded an app and want to go back to the previous version, you must delete the 'Receipt' of the new version - these can be found in Macintosh HD / Library / Receipts.

I had this exact issue with iPhoto - does it say "a newer version of iPhoto exists on this machine" or similar when you try and launch the older one?

Where did you get iPhoto 4.0?

You can get iPhoto 4 here. It comes bundled with GarageBand 1.0.1, iTunes 4, iMovie 4, and iDVD 4. Or you can get it bundled with a New Mac either one.

That's Apple's official explanation for Repair Permissions.
