Can't re-install same OS

I have OS 10.4.11 on my iMac 17" with all software updates, but my iPhoto isn't coming up, as I migrated from another iBook and deleted some files prior to migrating. So I want to re install OS 10.4.11, but the message I am getting is I have a more recent OS, and won't let me, how can I accomplish this without erasing my HD, and starting over?

Why re-install the entire OS? Why not re-install iPhoto?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applcations Folder to the trash)
2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only...’
The only way to downgrade an OS is to erase the drive. Have you considered an Archive and Install?

  • Can't re-install same version of Safari

    Safari wasn't launching at all on Tiger 10.4.11, worked fine until now. Restarted computer, trashed the Safari prefs, etc. No go. I Trashed the app with AppDelete. Downloaded the same version 4.1 for tiger and dialogue box said that a newer version is already installed on this volume. Newer version ? I trashed it and it is the same version I want to install. Now I had to resort to Firefox until this is fixed.What files of the trashed version are still lurking in there ?

    HI,
    If you are running either v10.4 v10.5, follow the instructions here to do an Archive and Install.

    Make sure there is enough free disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

  • How many times can you clean install leopard on the same computer?

    How many times can you clean install leopard on the same computer? Will the leopard dvd run out of installations and not let you install anymore?

    Hi colman Prez;
    Now that the funny comments have been made, I have a serious question and that why are you worry about reinstalling Leopard with an Erase & Install which is what I take that you mean when you say clean install. In actually fact there is no such thing in OS X as a clean install.
    I am curious because in all the years I have used OS X, I have yet to do an Erase & Install yet.
    I know with Windows that they suggest reformatting and reinstalling at the drop of a hat but that isn't true with OS X.

    Thank you for your answers, it helps me a lot.
    But sorry for my ignorance. I understand how you mean it, but I don't know how to do it. I'm scared to lose the settings/edits of the images.

    iPhoto for iOS is no longer being offered by Apple and has been replaced by the Photos app. It is not compatible with iOS 8.  This Apple document may help:  Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8 - Apple Support

    It shows up in the store as a universal app, so you should be ok to go.

  • Downloaded mavericks for one mac can i use the same download to install on another mac

    I have downloaded for 12 hours initial installation on one mac for mavericks, and all installed successfully. Rather than download again for another mac, can I use the same download and copy on to the other mac..and if yes, where will I find it?

    All you need to do is go to System Preferences > App Store and uncheck the automatic install of updates box, then download the Mavericks installer, and copy to a flash drive.  You will need a flash drive of 8 G B or more since the installer is around 5.3 GB.  The installer will be in Finder > Applications.  You can then copy that flash drive installer to the Applications folders in all the Macs you have that are capable of running Mavericks, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
    When the installer runs, the last step in the installtion is for the installer to erase itself.  So makng a copy before the installer runs is essential if you want to avoid redownloading.
    Installing from the same installer does not cause problems for Macs on the same network.

  • Can I have the same printer installed multiple times under different names?

    On WIndows I have the same printer installed multiple times
    All using the same driver
    I have a Canon printer that has a rear tray and a bottom tray
    So, I will have one printer that prints to the rear and the other to the bottom
    Other printers (the same one) will be set so that they print in high quality and in duplex for example
    I'll name the printers 1.Canon 2.Canon 3.Canon etc
    So, when I go to print, I just hit a number on the keyboard and the printer I want is selected
    Can I do the same on my laptop?
    Thanks
    Omar

    Back Up - that's in case things go wrong.
    In the case you cite:
    You have
    Mother
    Mother Maiden Name
    as Faces, right?
    In the Corkboard view click on Mother Maiden Name and delete the 'Maiden Name'.
    It will disappear and all the photos will be in the Mother face.
    Note that 'Mother' and 'Mother ' (that is, with a trailing space) are not the same.
    You can  also just edit the name 'Mother Maiden Name' to 'Mother'
    As for photos staying in manual sort, I can only say that mine do. But as I've no idea what troubleshooting steps you've used.

    I need help please to find the correcte download so i can my wii-fii work as soon as possible (because my wife is making me crazy, she can't go on Facebook!!!! )
    Thank's for your help,

    Use AirPort Utility 5.6 which contains the features you need. It is compatible with Lion as well as Mountain Lion, however, the installer app will refuse to install it on Mountain Lion.
    This dilemma is easily solved though. You simply need to extract the app from the installer package using a package extractor like Pacifist.
    Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
    Mountain Lion will not allow you to delete its existing version of AirPort Utility. Just ignore it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist.
    Note: For those with Leopard or Snow Leopard systems you need AirPort Utility 5.6.1 (this is confusing - a later AirPort Utility version for an earlier OS X version - but it is correct).
    Download AirPort Utility 5.6.1 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1536

    Assuming that you are in Win (which you haven't said), you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of previous versions of Reader:

    Then, download the full offline Reader installer from

    and run it immediately after restarting your computer.
