¿How can I reinstall iPhoto after having it accidentally removed?

The thing is iPhoto came with my MBP when I first bought it, back then the osx was Lion. I was having trouble using my apple id to download stuff from the app store so my ex girlfriend (back then my girlfriend) used her id so that I could download free apps and stuff. that turned out to be a huge mistake because her id was instantly saved in my osx and all future apps and upgrades were made with her id. I upgraded to Mountain Lion as soon as it came out and iPhoto was working correctly until one day it no longer wanted to update, it kept me asking for my ex girlfriend's apple id password. It seems to me that the osx is still recognizing her apple id for some apps she downloaded to my computer, but why iPhoto? didn't it came with my MBP?
So I thought that iPhoto was free in the app store, since it came with my MBP, and attempted to delete the app from my computer and redownload it with my apple id (which eventually I could make work for the app store) so that I no longer had to depend on my ex girlfriends id, when it came to the surprise that it was not free. So I no longer have iPhoto and I'm needing it really bad because I bought an iPhone now and can't transfer photos to my computer via photostream.
I would really like to now:
1. How to get back iPhoto and make it upgrade with my ID.
2. How to eliminate all possible traces of my ex girlfriend's ID from my computer.
Thank you before hand.

Ok
So you need the Apple ID it was registered to or you need to purchase it
You can contact App store support using the link on the right of the App store page and see if they can help

If your computer came with iLife pre-installed, then you will find iPhoto on one of your original installer discs.
If you purchased iLife then you can restore it from the iLife DVD you received.

How Do I Reinstall iPhoto after Upgrading to Snow Leopard

hi, I recently did a clean install to Snow Leopard on my macbook Pro. Everything went smoothly other than apparently I need to add the iphoto back on to my mac. I DO have the original discs 1 & 2 that came with my macbook pro. Would someone be so kind as to walk me through how I would reinstall iPhoto, iDVD, etc. I have read some posts that say use disc 1 others say use disc 2..... so I am confused and don't want to do anything incorrectly. THANKS a million.

The programs for iLife are on your system restore DVD, Insert and opt to 'Install Bundled Applications Only.

How can I reinstall iPhoto? It's crashing after a fresh install of Leopard

I ran software update and did the 10.5.1 update. The disk utility finds no problems. Created a new account and iPhoto crashes there before it finishes launching. Everything else seems to be working. Is there anyway to just reinstall iPhoto from the Leopard DVD without redoing the whole install... that takes a very long time.

Lynn:
First try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try launching iPhoto again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can I reinstall CS2 after not uninstalling properly?

I hope someone can help me since after being on the phone with Adobe for almost 3 hours, they told me they don't do 'support' for CS2 anymore.
I bought CS2 and registered it about 4 years ago. I've had it installed in the same computer ever since.
Just recently I had virus problems and Dell re-set my computer back to factory settings. The Geek Squad backed up all my photos and documents, but I have to re-install all the software.
I installed CS2 and the last step was to put in my serial number, which I did. I got a message insinuating that I didn't have a legit copy. I called Adobe, and they told me that it was the correct number. But, they flat out refused to give me any 'technical help' as to why I can't complete the installation.
I read some of the questions here and am now thinking I was supposed to have uninstalled the software. But I didn't. So, it must be looking like I'm someone else trying to get the program for free. I just don't know.
Please, please help me. I'm not awfully computer literate and I'm totally stressed out from all that has happened with the computer.
Thanks much for any advice!

Here's an update on my CS2 "reinstall" problem. I didn't have to reinstall!
I tried to no avail some of the suggestions you all kindly sent. I hesitated to deinstall or replace folders from the CDs, but rather took a look on the Web for information. I found a useful hint at (http://www.justskins.com/forums/reinstallation-problem-128281.html). Though the article was about CS3, I realized that my problem might have resulted from a corrupt preferences file. I followed the suggestion to create a new XP user account. IT WORKED; that "new user" could immediately use all my CS2 products without reinstalling. One exception was that Illustrator would start and then just disappear, but "new user" was able to reinstall it from the CDs with no problem. My original XP user account still cannot use CS2 or reinstall. My next step will be figure out how to fix the original XP user, and then reinstall FlashPlayer 10 to see if it reproduces the original problem.
After going through all this, I remembered that once long ago Adobe Support helped me fix a corrupt preferences file without creating a new XP user account. I searched the Knowledge Base, and though I could have missed it, I didn't find any related info.
Thanks again and cheers, KvF

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 can I reinstall Iphoto if the installation is aborted?

I just bought Iphoto 9.2.1 from Apple store and I installed it on my Mac OS X 10.6.8. When I launch Iphoto I receive the following error message:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/NyxAudioAnalysis.framework/Versions/A/NyxAudioAnalysis
Referenced from: /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Frameworks/iLifeSlideshow.framework/Versions/ A/Frameworks/iLifeSlideshowProducer.framework/Versions/A/iLifeSlideshowProducer
Reason: image not found
It's possible that the electric power went down during the installation but I'm not sure that it happened during the installation.
Can I download and reinstall in some way the application from Apple Store?
Thank you

Yes.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
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.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

How do i reinstall CS6 after having to reinstall Windows 7

I have my serial number, and also have the program files backed up on a DVD. I have tried downloading the trial software, but cannot get the download files to open. The big file needs the extractor and cannot find it. The smaller file which I think is the extractor gives me an error message "The file archive part of Adobe Photoshop CS6 is missing. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe Photoshop CS6. Please download all parts." As far as I can tell I have downloaded the two files I need and have them in their own folder in my Downloads folder. Help.

Yes, I got the two new files from the location you mention. However, they do not want to open and seem to be missing something. However, I discovered that I still have the original software download files and hope that those will work. Wound up having to resolve a couple of other software issues before I can try to load CS6 again.
