How do I find out if iPhoto is installed on my new computer?

After visiting the Apple website section which discusses migrating from a PC to a Mac. Working out how to copy photo's from a PC to a Mac (easy) I have one question. Why am I told to use iPhoto to view pictures if it doesn't come installed with my Macbook Pro?
I'm guessing I'd have to get iLife 08 to get iPhoto. I don't believe it's worth it. What would you recommend instead?
In general can you guys ame a good Freeware Mac sofware website?

Basically, but there are a few ways to narrow it down and save some time. PLUS, you do not want to be installing the system again (that could lose you data if you select the wrong one).
When the disk appears on the desktop, look in the panel for a brown file (you may have to scroll down a bit). This is a "package". It is marked "Bundled Software".
Double click on that and you will get some options. All you need to select are the parts of iLife that are not already on your system (and before you do this, please do check again -- the application should be in the Applications folder and you should see others in there like iMovie, iSync and iTunes).
Also, have a look in the Pictures folder to see if you have an iPhoto library file there.
Once you have selected those that you want to install, click the button at the bottom, and you should be asked for the Admin. password.

  • How do I find out about iPhoto sales and promotions?

    I randomly happened to print a book in iPhoto about a month ago, and it told me that there was free shipping due to the Mother's Day holiday.  How can I find out when these sales or promotions are happening so that I could do this on purpose?  (You'd think that it would be easy to find a way to sign up for spam like this, but I've looked for an hour and can't find any indication that Apple wants me to know about their sales.)

    Haven't seen any such promotions in years and there is no such email address ever mentioned here. There is a link to contact Apple at the bottom of every page, on the right, perhaps someone there can help.

  • How can you find out if another VI running on the same computer and how can you find out the name of that VI?

    Suppose that several VIs running simultaneously on the same computer. How can I find out the names of the running VIs, from another VI?
    If the already running VIs are clones of the same basic VI, open and run with the option "Prepare to call and forget", how can I find out the names and index of each clone? 

    I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them.  I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
    I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory.  I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods.  [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
    I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.

  • [SOLVED] How do I find out what packages are installed in a distro?

    Okay. I was running Arch before, but GNOME had a bunch of problems that I couldn't fix myself, so I reformatted and went to Peppermint OS (it's a cloud-based system), and I absolutely love it. Now, the thing is, it's even slower than my Arch system was running GNOME, and it's supposed to be super-lightweight and speedy; but aside from that, I found it's a great distro (I think most of the slowdown is because it's based on Ubuntu and Mint). So, my question: how do I find out which packages are in Peppermint OS so I can emulate the basic environment, except with Arch underneath? Thanks, guys!

    Okay, I guess an hour of Googling wasn't enough, but I just found a site that tells me how to do it! I'll mark this solved, but for anyone else who wants to know, the info is right here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/find-out-i … -in-linux/ It uses dpkg, which I think is only used on Debian-based systems (correct me if I'm wrong) so it may not work for all distros, but it's a start.

  • How can I find out if iPhoto was opened on a certain date?

    Is it possible to access some kind of activity log to see if iPhoto was opened on a certain date?

    Hello, I doubt it, but you can likely tell the last time it was used, (likely no use now), by checking the modification date of...

  • I installed iLife 11 on my iMac wth 10.6.8, but it appears nowhere. How do I find out where it is installed?

    When I search on Spotlight for the installed iLife 11, it appears in Applications only as an install disk.

    You should have iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, iPhoto, and GarageBand in your Applications folder. iLife is a software suite and not a single application.

  • How do I find out if my iPhone 4 needs a new battery?

    The battery on my iPhone 4 has started losing battery strength much quicker than it had before. It is a refurbished one I got from an apple store when I had an issue with my first one ( not the battery) .  I havent had this refurb phone for more than 8 months.  Any ideas??

    Battery life never gets better, but how quickly is it depleting?
    If it doesn't last a day then it would be too inconvenient to tolerate. Only Apple can make the determination if it qualifies for replacement under AppleCare.

  • How can I find out if my iphone has been synced to another computer? (Backup/Sync Privacy)

    So it would seem easy for someone (lets just say a girlfriend for example) to plug my iPhone into her computer while I am staying the night and backup to iTunes.  I have my settings to "require a passcode immediately", however there was one day there was access to my passcode at her place while I was not there. So my question is three-fold:
    - How can I find out if my iphone has synced with another computer/iTunes (possible history in the iPhone)?
    - Are there additional privacy settings to make sure no one can backup my iPhone by plugging it into their iTunes?
    - If it has been backed up to another computer is there anything that can be done.
    One reason I ask this is because earlier this year her phone was backed up to my iTunes on accident.  I did not know it was there until months later, but was able to access it with software.
    Thanks!

    You don't.  Nothing gets stored on the iPhone about what computers the device has been backed up to.
    - Are there additional privacy settings to make sure no one can backup my iPhone by plugging it into their iTunes?
    Yes, it's called a passcode lock.
    - If it has been backed up to another computer is there anything that can be done.
    No.  You might consider changing your Apple ID password to be on the safe side, though, as well as your security questions.

  • On my MAC, my storage reads 48 free GB out of 500GB.  OF that "other" which is in yellow, is 350 GB.  How do I find out what "other" is because I would like to know to delete it.

    How do I find out what the "other" programs are on my computer.  It is slowing the system down.  I am wondering if it is one of my kids graphic games.  The system is so slow and maxed out but not sure what the item(s) is that is clogging up the stroage.  I am use to a dell and right clicking it to show me.

  • HT4906 How do you find out if you have iPhoto installed?

    How do you find out if you have iPhoto installed on your MacBook Pro ?

    It is about my Mac, but it's so I can sync my iPhone to my Mac.  I was directed here from the Apple website.
    But I don't have iPhoto in my applications folder, so I guess I don't have it installed on my computer.
    I thought it did, as when I was going through my iCloud, everything apart from Photo Stream was selected, and underneath it, it said you had to have Aperture or iPhoto installed on your compputer (I back up everything from my phone to my computer, and iCloud)

How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto? To be honest I'm not even sure what type of Mac I have and don't know how to find out what kind it is
    I'd also like to make address labels and don't know where to find that either

    You would make address lables with the Contacts app.
    If you don't have the user name and password used to set up the machine then you need to purchase the apps for yourself.
