How do I re-install iphoto on iMac?

Depends how you installed it in the first place! If you installed from a disk, reinstall from there. If you installed from the App Store or it was pre-installed, go back to the App Store and install from the Purchased tab.

How do I de-install iPhoto 11 as it is not working

How do I de-install iPhoto 11 from my computer? It is not working; just bought it and want to go back to original iPhoto that I had on my computer before installing. Please help as I can't get into it and can't save any photos or get to my photos.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the
Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

How do I re-install Iphoto only ???

Hello and greetings from Southern France.
I cannot open Iphoto, after trying to copy my old version to the newest one (.which I should'nt have done !!!) as I have replaced my MBP by an Imac..
Message saying there is "a problem" and that I might have to re-install Iphoto.
I think it's the thing to do...but how do I go about it ?
You will have guessed that I'm no computer expert !!
What I think I should do is:
1. discard the Iphot app that won't open, and which has never been used, into the dustbin
2; start the Mac from the installation CD, but then the question is: will I be able to re-install iphoto only or shall I have to install the whole OS ?????
I've tried to get a SIMPLE answer from the support info, but what I read is much too complicated for me.
Many thanks, even if the question looks stupid !!

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 can I transfer/import iPhotos from iMac to MacBook Pro?

How can I transfer some photos from iPhoto on iMac Desktop to iPhoto on MacBook Pro?

We're talking some photos? You can export them from iPhoto to a USB flash drive form the iMac and import them into iPhoto on the MBP. That's one way.

How do I de-install iPhoto 5.0.4?

My iPhoto 5.0.4 seems completely blocked and/or corrupted and takes forever to load. I've copied my photo library and am prepared to re-install iPhoto from the disk that came with my computer (Powerbook G4), but shouldn't I de-install first? And if so, how?

Are you sure the problem is with iPhoto? And Not with your Library? Here's a simple way to check:
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the library in the main account.

There were no installation disks with my computer because it did to come with an optical drive.... how do I reinstall?

Never mind.... i just discovered i can reinstall from the app store...

How to remove an installed app from iMac?

I bought my iMac from an individual and I am getting an 'update available' box for Pages. When I click on it to download it I get a message to sign in w/previous owners info. Also, that I can buy a serial number for me. I haven't been able to do that. How can I remove Pages from my computer so I can buy it for myself?
Thank you for your help.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
As it looks like Pages was installed from the App Store, you have two possibilities to uninstall the application:
1. Open Launchpad, hold Option key and press X button above Pages icon to uninstall the application.
2. Open Finder, select Applications on the sidebar and remove Pages.
After doing this, open App Store and purchase Pages, so it will be registered to your Apple ID and you will be able to update that app

It's a No-Go! How to import photos from iphoto (using iMac) to iPod??

I have been trying and trying to send my photos through to my iPod from my iMac (both of which are only a few days old...), and it doesn't accept them. Music and videos are fine, but the photo problem won't resolve itself. I have followed the online Apple tutorials to the T, but zilch! A message continually pops up after about a minute of trying to send the photos through:
'Preferences were not saved for the "Noel Ballantyne's iPod" because it could not be found.' [Followed by an /OK/ box]
Eloquently put, but it doesn't help me figure this out any. Help anyone, please! Do I need to set something up on my iPod before any of this can happen? I see that there's a "import photos", or maybe another button too that I need to hit first??

noelinkorea
Oddly, photos are sent through to the iPod via iTunes!
In iTunes, uses Preferences -> iPod and click on the Pictures tab. You can configure it there.
Note: The iPod preferences are available only when the iPod is connected.
If you need further assistance, I suggest you try the iPod or iTunes fora.

How do I move my iPhoto library from iMac G5 OSX 10.4 to iMac OSX 10.7?

How do I move my iPhoto library from iMac G5 OSX 10.4 to iMac OSX 10.7.2?

If you are doing an upgrade on the same Mac, just leave it where it is. When you do the upgrade, as long as it is not a "clean install" (wipe everything and start over), you should not lose any files.
If you are moving it to another Mac, move it to the same location in your user account on the other Mac. For example, no matter which Mac I'm on, the iPhoto library is always in Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library.

How can I re-install the last version of iPhoto, I hate this new version.

How can I re-install the last version of iPhoto. I hate this new version "Photos 1.0" which installed yesterday on my iMac. Please help. My operating system is OS X YOSEMITE 10.10.3. THANKS.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

How can i upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 8.1.2 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8 ?

How can I upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 8.1.2 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8 ?

With the above listed config that I have (iphoto 7.1.5 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8), how can I move my iPhoto library from this old iMac (2006) to my NEW iMac (2011) that is running iPhoto 9.5.1 ?
To open an iPhoto 7.1.x version in iPhoto '11 you need to run the iPhoto Library Upgrader. See this Support document:
iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrade
Download and install the upgrader, then run it on your iPhoto 7.1.5 library. After that, iPhoto will be able to open your library and upgrade it to version 9.5.1. And you will be able to merge the libraries with if Library Manager.
