How do I get iphoto back from trash?

I accidently put iphoto in the trash.  When I went to recover it in the trash...its not there.  I never emptied the trash.  The "empty trash" button doesn't show..all it has is a spinning circle at the bottom of the trash page.  How do I fix this

If you haven't emptied the trash, there's still a chance. Allow the spinning gear to continue for a longish spell; say up to 30 mins. iPhoto's a fairly big application, Finder may be just sorting out all the dependencies before showing it.
If it does eventually show the icon, either drag it back to the Applications folder or right-click and select "put away" from the contextual menu.
If that fails, you may need to reinstall iPhoto from your original instal DVDs. The iLife apps are usually on the second disc. Then run software update and bring it up gto date again.

  • How do i get iphoto back after it has been deleted

    my mac deleted my iphoto app and now i cant seem to get it back and i dont have the system start up discs anymore so how can i get iphoto back?

    Phone Apple Support and order replacement disks, or restore it from backup, or if your computer supports it, upgrade the OS and buy iPhoto from the Mac App Store.

  • My iPhotos have disappeared completely.   How do I get iPhoto back?

    My iPhotos have disappeared completely.   How do I get iPhoto back?

    1. Your Library should be in the Pictures Folder, not the Applications folder. Are you sure that you're not looking at the Application?
    2. If it is in the wring folder, move it to the Pictures folder. That's inly in the case of the Library not the application.
    3.
    Couple of things to try:
    Restart your mac and try launch iPhoto again.
    If that fails:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a file called ‘iPhoto’Lock.data or similar. Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If not: Where is your iPhoto Library stored? If it's on an External Disk, what format is that?

  • How can I get iPhoto back on my iMac?

    My Mac died so I'm now using my brother's old iMac running Mac OS X version 10.5.8.
    He didn't give me any disks to do a reinstall so I used a friend's to wipe the data and start new with mine. Unfortunately, I didn't think about all the programs that were on it. Luckily, I had my software disks still for Microsoft suite & Quicken. But, iPhoto isn't on here and now I can only view my massive amounts of photos using preview. Nothing is organized in folders, I can't edit, and generally is making me very sad.
    I can't purchase iLife or iPhoto because I'm running an older version of OS X.
    I don't can't upgrade to the newest OS X because I'm running too old of a version of OS X.
    I can't find anywhere to buy or download from Apple any version of OS X but the newest one.
    What gives?
    Any suggestions on how to get iPhoto back?

    Well, you can purchase and upgrade the OS o Snow Leopard here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard and then run software update to get to 10.6.8 to access the Mac App Store and purchase iLife.
    Or you can just go here http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_5?url=search-alias%3Dsoftware&field-key words=ilife&sprefix=Ilife%2Caps%2C183 and purchase iLife

  • How do i get Iphoto back?

    I deleted Iphoto and now i have no idea how to get it back.
         I recently changed apple ids and deleted my old one which i first used on my macbook pro about 3 months ago. Now i have i have accidently deleted iphoto and whenever i go to the app store to reinstall it i get an accept button instead of a buy/purchase button and then this error message once i click on the accept button:
         "These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the applications."
    So i dont have the apple ID they were first assigned too and i dont want to purchase this application. So i was wondering if there is any way to reinstall it or recover it because my macbook pro came with iphoto already installed.

    iPhoto is part of iLife, not OS X. You'll need to either reinstall iLife from your original disks (not sure what version you have or if it will even work with Leopard) or get iLife '08 (probably the most straightforward way to get iPhoto back.)

  • How do i get iPhoto back after deleting

    bought a imac and had pre loaded ilife apps ready to be downloaded in purchased tab and accidently deleted iphoto and imovie. how do i get them back?

    If I'm following correctly it sounds like you may have clicked on the 'x' when viewing your purchases. This, as you've discovered, hides them. To make them visible again, log in to your Mac App Store Account and select 'your account'  and you should see that you have some hidden articles. In the image the arrow shows what you need to click on - it should be obvious from there.

  • How can i get iPhoto back if it was a standard app on purchase?

    some have mentioned via updates and i know i have updated the software but now i cant find anything related to iPhoto in my macbook.
    as i didnt purchase the app from the app store i cant reinstall without another purchase.
    surly my ID should have an update somewhere where it can varify i used iphoto?
    Please Help
    Thanks

    iLife apps come with your system. If your Mac shipped with any system prior to Lion, it should be on your install disks that shipped with your Mac.
    You can use Pacifist to extract and install just that app.
    If you lost the disks, that shipped with your Mac call Apple for replacement, give them your serial number and they will send them for a nominal fee.

  • Photos *****. How can I get iPhoto back

    Photos lacks many of the features of iPhoto that I used all the time. How can I get it back?

    It didn't go away.  Look in your Applications folder.
    If you didn't update it to the Yosemite version, see this tip: Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS X 10.10.3

  • How can I get iPhoto back?

    I accidentally deleted iPhoto from my computer a while back (and it's been emptied from my trash since then). I don't have the disks that came with my computer because I lost my mac box while moving. I also don't have it backed up on time machine. Does anyone know how I could reinstall iPhoto? I really need it.
    Thank you!

    Depending on which version of iPhoto, as part of iLife, your
    now missing version was, you may be able to buy an iLife
    vintage suitable for use in Leopard 10.5.8 & it should work.
    +{But the better deal may be to see what a replacement set+
    +of original discs from Apple Sales/AppleCare will cost; if+
    +they still are available, direct from Apple.}+
    The retail meal deal, on its own install disc. And you may
    not have to install All of iLife in order to use the iPhoto;
    if there isn't a custom install mode to choose single iApps
    (an option in a few cases, where you can choose One item)
    you still could get only the iPhoto package to install from a
    install disc through use of Pacifist utility, a download that
    should work in demo mode for free; to extract just the one
    item from the install disc & from the Mac's desktop install it.
    (And before you try to start iPhoto the first time, be sure to
    run Software Update first and get it updated to the last
    version available for it; then it may actually work OK in your
    computer. Even if it wasn't the exact version as shipped.)
    Somewhere in not too old of Discussion posts, there was
    a question asking what version of iLife was best for use
    with OS X 10.5 Leopard; if one of the retail versions of
    iLife has an iPhoto suitable for your existing OS and files
    you may have saved, a retail iLife installer should do.
    • iLife: System Requirements (versions: '04, '05, '06, '08, '09)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27615
    There are hardware and other limits as to which iLife would
    work in different Macintosh computer configurations over time.
    Since your computer specs don't tell me what it really is, I
    can't help narrow the field as to which of the newest versions
    in the above linked support article may mirror what you had.
    Hopefully if you do call AppleCare support/sales to buy a
    replacement restore-install DVD for your computer and
    supply them with the machine's serial number, you can
    get the exact item that has gone missing; and it may be
    at a cost lower than someone reselling an old iLife '08/'09.
    And you still could use Pacifist to install just iPhoto, if that
    iLife installer disc does not allow you to choose one app.

    Hopefully that comes together for you, in any case.

  • I delete iphoto incident . how can i get iPhoto back?

    i want iphoto back
    how can i get this ?

    How did you delete it? (not a silly question)
    If all you've done is removed the icon from the Dock, go to the Applications folder, find iPhoto and drag it's icon to the Dock, being careful not to release the mouse until the other icons in there move out of the way for it. (if you release too early, you'll leave the application on the Desktop and will have to drag it back to Applications and try again.)
    The icons in the Dock are only aliases, so can be replaced easily.
    If on the other hand you've somehow deleted it from the Applications folder, there are two possibilities -
    If the trash hasn't been emptied, open it, right click on the iPhoto item and select 'Put Back'.
    If the trash has been emptied, you'll need to reinstall it from the software restore disc (disc 2 of the grey discs that came with the Mac), or from the iLife DVD if that's where you installed it from, or if on Lion, I believe you'll need to go the App Store and re-download it (but someone may correct me on that).

  • How do I get iphoto back after Yosemite 10.10.3

    I have just added the Yosemite 10.10.3 security update to my macbook pro and found that iPhoto has been replaced by a piece of software called Photos.
    The replacement application was not wanted and has been forced onto my machine without asking.
    Question is.... How do I get my original iPhoto back and the photographs without resorting to a full restore?
    Any ideas..... please.....
    Andy

    Yes as you already now know iPhoto can still be found in applications,,, HOWEVER, be warned that apple just informed me yesterday that it will eventually disappear  and you will need to have all of your iPhoto albums transferred from iPhoto to new Photos pgm just to be prepared for eventual shelving of iPhoto,
    I found this out because immediately after updating to os x 10.10.3 and as well after updating to the new photos pgm, my iMac all of a sudden no longer shows my camera under Devices in the Finder, and worst of all would NO longer recognize .jpg downloads from my camera (specifically Canon Powershot G6), I have spent 2-3 hours per day for last 2 days on phone with apple techs and they made me do a sh L t load of tests, and file caches adjustments etc… etc…, including a recovery re-install of these recent updates, but it still does not work, they have decided that the issue is definately not a problem with my camera as I was able to download the pics to an old laptop successfully, and then transfer them to a thumb drive and then was able to successfully transfer the .jpg's to my iMac using the thumb drive,(a long and painful process), plus all jpg's that were already in my iMac are still recognized and usable, it's when i try to download jpg pictures from a camera to either of the following pgm's; "image capture", "iPhoto", and even new "Photos" pgm, computer does not recognize .jpg's and gives error (-9937).
    they said that problem is with one of 3 issues;
    1) new OS X 10.10.3
    2) Application specific ("Image capture", "iPhoto" or "Photos") - not likely that all 3 now have issues at same time.
    3) Compatibility issue (specifically that the new OS system is no longer compatible with my specific camera)
    They refused to pick one, and the specific tech dept. "photos team, image capture team" would not speak with me and simply told this tech guy to tell me to do a recovery re-install of these new updates and OS, which did not work.
    BTW, this tech guy i am talking with is a senior tech who claims he does not know everything about image capture issues. he is supposed to call me back today (Day 3) (LOL are we having Fun yet??? LOLL) to find out if re-install worked,,, IT DID NOT!
    MOST IMPORTANT PART OF STORY;;; I have found online that jpg downloads not being recognized occurring immediately after an OS update/upgrade go back as far as 2009/2010. on a hit and miss occurrence.
    I am going to take a guess and say that there is a bug in new OS or somehow the proper Drivers incl. in update for my camera have a bug. Canon web site says drivers are not available on their site for OS X 10.10.3 and are included in iMac OS software. Also Canon's Image browser software is no longer available for OS X 10.8 or higher.
    They said senior tech who is calling me back today says if recovery re-install of updates do not work(it did not) he would take some pertinent info from my computer or on their end, (he was vague about that) and report it to appropriate dept. to see if they can get back to me shortly with a fix, (not holding my breath), or a future Bug fix/OS Update which he said could take 3-6 months.
    They also recommend that I buy a memory card reader and every time I wish to transfer pictures from my camera to my computer, that i should remove the compact flash card from camera and put into memory card reader and transfer it to my iMac that way (for me thats 2-4 times per day, as I sell on eBay, Kijiji and Craig's List.), No more simply plugging my camera into my iMac using USB.
