How can I reinstall iphoto on new hard drive?

Original purchase came with iphoto installed. After hard drive crash new hard drive does not have iphoto app. Anyone have any idea how to reinstall without having to purchase? Had to install original OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard

reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced = probably your case
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

How do i reinstall yosemite on new hard drive without a disk?

I bought a used imac late 2009 as mine died and needed far to much to be repaired. It came with yosemite installed. I used carbon copy cloner were I had an external hard drive with a recent backup image. I connected a usb external device and boot from my external backup. I copied the image I had back to the new iMac internal HD. I thought it would have been as simple as that. NOOOOOOO! that failed and now I am completely messed up. Purchased software says my serials are no longer good. I can't do any work. Office 2011 and outlook won't even read my email. Adobe software hangs and won't allow the OnOne software I purchased work. I bought the latest version of OnOne 9 Suite and it fails to install stating to contact the vendor. (of course no one is there to help). I have several photo sessions I need to edit. I am under pressure. I tried for hours to work around and try to resolve my issue. I safe booted and used time machine. It was chugging all night for 9 hours and in the end it said an error occurred and failed to restore my computer. I have now had 1.5 hours of sleep and truly frustrated and had enough. I dug out my PC laptop and posting to this forum. I gather at this point just say **** it and format and start over. Documents are saved and photos are on a raid device. SO I am not concerned about my work. I am concerned about getting the reinstalled software reinstalled because many of them when I tried to launch stated it was not compatible with Yosemite and to download a compatible version. Of course the vendors want money to get the latest greatest. I don't need the latest greatest because the version I had did exactly what I needed and I do not need anything more. My email in outlook is a concern. My livelihood, meaning how I make a living, is primarily based on email communications. My business purchases are in email. My billing and receipts and sales are in email. The last time I had a catastrophic failure with outlook and hours and hours of trying to recover from backups, I ended up asking my clients to forward me their copies and just started over with Outlook. iMail can't handle the 10,000 emails I deal with weekly and the deluge of email accounts I manage. I could not find any other email client that offers what I need... Calendar, appointment collaboration, organization etc etc. All this does not change the fact I am still stuck. I was told in a pop up this iMac is not registered on my Apple ID account. I can't even find where my broken one is registered, remove it and add in this used one. From what I can read, the solution is to bite the ******* bullet, again, and format and start over. Well, with the downloads of MAC OS X I don't have a hard copy on disc to boot from and just do that. With all the issues with Yosemite, I am not even 100% positive I want to go there and just be happy with Maverick and ignore the lies from Apple just how much better Yosemite is as it is not and just a license to print money with all the cash I need to spend to get my purchased software up to speed. Ok, I have ranted enough. I still believe that MAC is better than WINDOWS. Considering to buy a WINDOWS PC had crossed my mind and when it crossed I pushed it in from of the MAC truck and lost that consideration. I am a Microsoft engineer and know all the reasons why not to buy Windows. I need help from the community. I can't afford to pay a Apple support guy that says just reboot and hold down this key and when it fails to help he says he will have someone call be back that is smarter than he is. I am out the cash and never get that call. Your suggestions, recommendations and "How To's" are very much appreciated. Thank you for reading my query and my rant. -Brian

Thank you to all that helped. I did get the CD from Apple Care and managed to rebuild from scratch. In conclusion, there should be a better way to help recover from a complete disaster. I lost the original computer and hard drive. I had a Clone Copy of the hard drive I regularly updated. I used Time Machine. I thought I had all my bases covered in the event of a disaster. Even the cloned hard drive is stored is a fire safe guaranteed not to exceed room temperature even if the safe was in a fire 2700 degrees for over 25 minutes. (Enough time to have a fire department put water on the fire) The safe cost me a lot of money. The time Machine external hard drive is a RAID striped system with 5 HDD with a failover of 3 complete HDD failures simultaneously. Because of piracy, software installs will go to extraordinary lengths from having a license copy of the software cloned from one computer to another. I get it. People steal. Software companies deserve a pay cheque just as much as I do. I did what I did because of all the money and time I spend in setting up, installing and configuring my licensed software I wanted a fast resolution to recovery. As I learned from this experience it is simply not possible. If your HD changes, there are several disc sectors that are used for licensing that is not recovered in a carbon copy. Carbon Copy to me I thought was old school Bit Copy if you remember. Not so. Changing a motherboard or whole computer even if it is to a same make and model has issues too. It's called an ESN. Electronic Serial Number. This number that is specific to every motherboard made is used in licensing software. I searched the net looking for a way to PAY to have a fail safe system for recovery. I only found systems that are available or for very high sensitive information servers and is priced way out of reach for an average consumer. Meaning, that a complete disaster in your city will not loose billable or liable information about you. You can rest assure that after the zombie apocalypse you will still get your cell bill, hydro bill, mortgage payment schedules and your criminal record will remain intact. We can thank Hitler for teaching us that error when he destroyed the records of the cities he overthrew. It leaves me with an argument about accountability. Why is it when I buy software, I own nothing. It is a licensed agreement to use the software but I never own it. The developer sides with the fact they own the intellectual property and can not just sell it once and loose it. Agreed! It's the legal departments of the companies that want a piece of that pie too. So they remove any accountability of that licensed agreement that would hold them accountable the end user does in fact own nothing. When the software or product breaks down, their system they use that writes information to parts of your HDD that you can not back up and to be used against you because they don't trust you, there is plenty of small print that states they can not be held liable for their decisions. No matter what happens, their fault or not, with or without prejudice, they are not accountable, whatsoever. Being that I had no choice but beg and plead the people I paid money to for permission to use their software, on ways to help myself in a disaster, get copies back, to put me in the same state I was in before the disaster happened without getting further ahead of the game, I was simply told its not my problem or responsibility. When I asked about accountability? I am told read the fine print and when you are done, pay me to get the old copies back, to get the bootable medium you need and all along they way, let me ram a few more policies down your throat and say, your working software you had is no longer supported and you need to buy the updated version.
Can someone explain to me how I am a better person for all this. How about at least explain why I should not cave in like most other people I know and seek out pirated copies instead of paying for them. It's certainly not for support. I go none and what I was offered I had to pay for on top of paying for the license agreement.
My personal argument came to this head. I asked why do companies and people want to rip off each other. Was it greed? Was it economy? Was it the state of technology is changing so fast everyone is eventing on how to deal with this by the seat of their pants? Here is my conclusion: People generally are followers and not leaders. People that are leaders, thinkers and risk takers are generally outcasts, different and unusual people. Einstein said there is a very thin line between genius and insanity. He never said if they crossed that line or not or what happens. I think, the ones that do cross the line are more than we would like to consider acceptable. We coerced by their insane thinking, there leadership and their ideas. We elect them and let them form governments. We allow them to invent things and then tell us we can't live without it. I know most of you agree and some of you will say it has been going on for a long time. It's true. But like I said we are mostly followers. Thus it has been accepted as a way of life. Right? Wrong! The masses are getting fed up. They are being tired of being ripped off. Need to test this??? Just go a mall and on it's busiest night stand in the middle and shout at the top of your lungs "FREE 10" TABLETS, RIGHT OVER THERE" and point at some poor unsuspecting store. Watch what happens People love the word free. Because they are tired of not getting value for that they pay for. Free Software, Free Games, Free this and that. People download by the millions. Why, they no longer see the value of one person making money and getting value for that hard earned money. They are tired of paying for it and getting nothing. The know this intimately. Themselves are ripped off every day by government, insurance companies, banks, energy resources and yes even software companies. We have learned from the best, well at least the most insane. Here is a thought to leave you with as I seek to ponder about this experience and how I thought I had done the right thing for myself... get my value for my dollar: Have we been here before? YES, many times. The most recent one like this were the fat bubble burst was WWII. What happened in that war was not so much about the atrocities of the murdered and killed, the real story was the living, the survivors. The playing field was leveled. It no longer mattered just how rich you were, how new of a car your drove or what job you had made you different from everyone else. There was one objective. Survive. Live to see another day. After the war the survivors were not liberated. We had a great depression. Overcoming the loss of that war and the rebuilding that needed to be done when no one was willing to pay to have it done. We had to put our differences aside. Our culture, our creed, our resolve had no bearing. We were all in the same leveled playing field of life. My pondering is leaving me one tough question... What happened to us. How did we become so greedy and so racist with each other that we threw out accountability. Not only did we through it out, we all said ion way way or another that it was acceptable. Our problems may very well be different from each other but what has not changed we all feel we deserve respect and should hold each other accountable for our decisions. What happened to that very resolve that government bodies, religious leaders and factions, manufacturing and developing companies all feel this resolve does not apply to them. What happened?
LOL: Funny how a 12 cent CD could have been offered in the first place with a little knowledge being shared could have misdirected what I just said to the focus of this group. Wow.
Thank you people for helping me with my issues. I truly appreciate it. Thank you to those of you that put up with my rant. More thanks to those who read it. My sincerest apologies to those I reminded just how life *****. To the rest of you... click the home button on the browser.

How can I recover iPhotos from my hard drive?

I screwed up my MacBook Pro by adding a exFAT partition while operating in BOOTCAMP. Now I cannot start my machine. I can probably pull my hard drive and enter it as the OS Yosemite was probably not affacted. Is there a way to retrieve all my photos so when I reinstall everything I will be able to put them back on iPhoto?

If you’re able to access the drive, open your home folder on it, then Pictures, and copy the iPhoto library to another volume formatted as Mac OS Extended.

You are allowed to have two machines with activated installations, so if you only had one installation, you still have the option to install on a second without doing anything further than that. If you originally downloaded the purchase thru Adobe then you might find a download link available in your Adobe account online. You can also download thru the following page if you can find your version:
Download and Installation Help -
https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
You can have the first installation deactivated to free up the activation and have it available for another machine again as well. YOu need to contact Adobe Support thru chat for that. For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

Connect the computer to another Mac and put it in FireWire Target Disk mode, or use the Disk Utility to clone the drive or image specific folders with the USB drive as the target. After you've copied off everything you want, you'll likely need to erase the drive and reinstall the applications.

I installed a new hard drive from best buy for my "vintage" MacBook laptop. When I turned on the laptop and the flashing folder appeared, I need help?
I looked online for some clues. I put in the software disk I received when I bought the disk but I cannot select a destination volume to install the software. I tired to partition the drive within disk utility but there was an input/output error. Should I just plug in my external hard drive and hope everything reboots like magic ?

How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

Having removed the hard drive I'm finding I can't reformat it. I manage to mount the HD but Disk Utility crashes when trying to format (HD attached to Mac via Newer Tech. SATA cables to USB) and causes what I think is a kernal panic on my Mac which hard crashes. I see 3 partitions when attempting to mount one of which is AFP. Anyone got any ideas about how to do this? I've dug around but the only progress I've made is to note others have had to work around ACL's when replacing the logic board of the TC. Not sure if this even relates to the problem. However the tool for doing this seems to have been removed from SL. (Forum references to this procedure all relate to 10.5).

How to move files after installing new hard drive

I am considering the installation of a new 80 or 100 GB hard drive. I purchased the new iLife 06 program but I do not have enough space to install on my present 60 GB unit. I only have 3 GB available. I've read all the posts involving the possible brands, downloaded the instructions how to swap out the units. My question is how to backup and install my files and applications so I may reinstall onto the new drive. Can I just copy my hard drive volume onto my external Lacie storage unit and then drag the volume back to the new hard drive after booting off my OS disk? Any advice on how to move my apps and files? Do I need to purchase cloning software?

The easiest way is buy an external firewire enclosure and put your new drive in it. Then format your new drive. then use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy your internal drive onto your new drive. Then install your new drive and put your old one in the enclosure. You are now in business with an external backup on your old drive.
