Can I uninstall and re-install iPhoto?

Or repair a library without the need for iPhoto to launch?
Because I've tried everything I can find suggested in these fora, and it won't.
*sigh*

Did you try running iPhoto in another user account on your Mac? If so what was the result? Also did you try creating a new library and use it?
Yes you can reinstall iPhoto. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Then install iPhoto from the source it came from originally.

3D in Photoshop does not work. Graphic Driver is updated. Can I uninstall and re-install Photoshop?

I have been on the phone with Adobe and Geek Squad and Intel trying to get the 3D in Photoshop to work. It used to work till the latest updates, although version 2014 has never worked. Is it feasible to uninstall Photoshop and then re-install it? Wish I would have thought to ask when I was on the phone with Adobe...but didn't think of this as perhaps something that might work. Is it possible? If so, how?

If you have the latest CC Desktop app installed, then you can click over to the Apps tab then hover over the Photoshop version you want to install and click the gear that appears, and that’ll give you an uninstall option. Once you uninstall PS CC 2014, you can reinstall it using the Install button next to Photoshop CC 2014 in the App tab further down.

Iphoto wont start and deleted all of my photos. can i uninstall and reinstall iPhoto?

can i uninstall and reinstall my iphoto and will it fix the problem that i have with not being able to import and look at photos?

Of course you can uninstall and reinstall iPhoto - but it Probably will not help at all
But that is only a wild guess since no one has any idea what you have or what your problem is
Lets start with really simple basics - what version of iPhoto do you have? what recently changed or happened that might be related to this? What exactly does "won't start" mean? Why do you "think" iPhoto deleted all of your photos?
Do you have a good current backup? Note that iPhoto does not "delete" photos - users can but iPhoto does not
You sate numourour problems - please describe each and be concise without editorial comments
1 - iPhoto won't start
2 - iPhoto delete all of your photos
3 - iPhoto will not import photos
4 - iPhoto will not let you look at photos

Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?

Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; I get the "end program" message and have to say "end now"it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?
- I've used Firefox exclusively for around 2 years.
- My outlook express has no problems
- other programs seem unaffected; it seems peculiar to Firefox.
- my main use is surfing the net, primarily entering competitions on line via specialist competition sites.
- every day at some stage(s) I have to switch computer off as Firefox has got very slow/sticky/freezes.
I'm not techy by any means, but I can only thing of un- and re-installing to hopefully start with a clean slate.

Sounds like something is keeping Firefox from closing properly. See this: <br />

Can I uninstall and reinstall apps I've installed? Want to move to an external drive.

After downloading a few of the apps, I realized that I'd rather install them on an external drive. Is there any problem with uninstalling and then reinstalling the apps I've already downloaded?

Yes, you can uninstall your CS6 applications from Control Panel(Windows) or Utilities(MAC) depending on the operating system you have. You can uninstall and re-install it "n" number of times on the same machine.
You can change the install location from Adobe Application Manager(File->Preferences)

I have been using CS6 for two years without incident. Suddenly the Media Encoder stops working, showing APPCRASH and displaying error message about WatchFolder.dll - I tried uninstalling and re-installing to no avail - can anyone help

Can I uninstall and install without loosing play lists

Can I uninstall and install without loosing play lists

Your iTunes folder (normally under ~/Music/iTunes) contains files that tell iTunes what you have in your library, playlists, genres, ...These database files have extensions of .itl and .xml. Deeper in the iTunes folder you have the actual media (movies, songs, tv shows).
Uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling iTunes should not impact your iTunes library. It will change iTunes settings like window size, if you have the sidebar turned on, and the like. I do recommend you have a backup of your iTunes folder but at least save copies of your .itl and .xml files.
Your question is a bit cryptic so I'm guessing at your actual question. Good luck.
