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 !!
J.P./

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 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 on imac

    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 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?

    mer309
    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.

  • How do you re-install iPhoto on OS 10.8

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

  • I think I need to re install Encore off my discs. When I ask Premier Pro CS5 to send my project to Encore, Encore opens but does not receive my movie sequence. How do I re install Encore only without upsetting my movie?

    Hello. I have the Premier Pro CS5 suite on Windows. Can you advise me how to re install Encore off my discs without affecting any of my movie in Premier Pro please?
    I ask Pro to send the movie sequence through Dynamic Link into Encore so that I can burn the sequence to a disc.
    Encore does open but the sequence does not arrive from Pro.
    Last night the sequence did arrive into Encore but took forever to transcribe and I eventually cancelled the process as it appeared to get stuck and did not quite get to writing to disc.
    This morning the sequence does not even arrive into Encore.
    Very frustrating when I have a 4hr movie that I want to write to Bluray so I have now created 4 separate sequences and want to try writing them onto DVD in 1hr chapters.
    Hope someone can help me with this. Cheers. Janice

    Hello Ann. Thank you for your help. I have re installed EN and I have now
    sent parts of my movie to AME. I have then tried several different methods
    of getting the encoded clips into Encore successfully. Once in the Project
    panel and the Timeline, the movie does not show up in the Monitor panel
    above, so I have proceeded to build and write to a disc. I've tried a
    number of options but always end up with EN 'not responding' and having to
    close the program down.
    Something else is that I do get a message whilst in Premiere Pro that there
    is an update available for AME, however, when I look online I do not see an
    update for CS5, although there are 2 updates for CS6. Can you suggest what
    I could do please? The Encore problem is the one that concerns me the most
    as I am not able to record my movie.
    Looking forward to your reply.
    Kind regards.
    Janice

  • How do we re install system only?

    Is there an equivalent way to "install in place"?

    Hmm, that's a problem,
    Download this:
    Lion Recovery Diskmaker, if you have a recovery partition this will (a) find it and (b) make a disc you can use for reinstallation.
    If you don't have a recovery partition it will do nothing.

  • How to install iPhoto an DVD  only from my iLife 09 disk

    Following hard drive replacement I now have Snow Leopard. I tried to install iphoto and DVD only from iLife 09 disk but could not find a way to install them only.
    The full bundle will use all the free disk space I have which is 4 gbs. Following install of SnowLeopard from new disk iphoto and DVD did not install.

    You can do what you want
    BUT
    you need a minimum of 10 GB of free space for normal operations so you need to find a way to reduce disk usage - 4 GB is not enough and will cause slow operation and possible damage to systems or data
    You seriously need to free up disk space - moving your iPhoto library to an external drive may be the answer -
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • How to install iPhoto & iMovie without disk?

    I have a late 2010 Macbook Air that I was recently given from a friend
    I didn't do any reformatting of the hard drive as there wasn't much on it, but I noticed that iPhoto and iMovie are missing (it's not under applications). I'm wondering whether it was included in the first place? And if so, how do I reinstall them if I don't have any disks from the original owner? It's running OS X Mountain Lion Version 10.8.2, so I'm not sure if the previous owner upgrading the software after original purchase caused an issue that deleted it them either.
    Please help!
    Additional note: I realize that the two applications are available in the app store, but I really have no desire to spend $30 on them

    The only way to install iPhoto is from the original source or a purchased upgrade - the seller of the machine should have included the restore disks with it or provided you with the set up Apple ID so you can log in under it to download it from the app Store
    You can contact Apple support and see if they can assist - they may be able to replace the restore disk are a reasonable cost

  • How NOT to Install iPhoto 11, when installing iLife 11

    With the very many issue's I'm seeing throughout these iPhoto 11 discussions,
    Is there way to ONLY install GarageBand and iMovie from the iLife 11 disc?
    I installed iLife 11 on a test machine (my Mac Mini) and I'm not happy with iPhoto 11.
    BEFORE I install this on my iMac 24 (with over 24,000 real pictures, with tons of edits, keywords and organization throughout),
    I'd like to NOT install iPhoto 11, while installing the balance of the disc.
    Possible?....How, please?
    Thank You, In Advance

    In all fairness, when I stated that I don't like iPhoto '11, it was not because of bugs, or lost photo library's or issues installing. My install went perfect and without a hitch.
    I dislike iPhoto '11 because I don't like the reduced functionality built into iPhoto '11. The elimination of features and the loss of a more productive and flexible application that iPhoto '09 is, over iPhoto '11, is why I'm not installing it.
    Here are my four examples, at minimum. Of course, if you don't use these features, then like ladymac, you will be pleased with iPhoto '11. Like they say, ignorance is bliss.
    1) The elimination of Keywords under each picture.
    This is huge for me, with over 24,000 pictures and growing. Putting the Keyword off to the side, and ONLY viewable one picture at a time is not sane. With an extensive use of keywords across 24,000 pictures, I can easily tag and find pics. But if you don't use keywords, or never used them, ignorance is bliss.
    2) The elimination of "exporting" to mail. This would allow you to re-size pics at your discretion. Attach more than 10 pics at a time. 20, 30, 40 pics or more are possible under iPhoto '09. And deciding NOT to use their stationary. OR to use their stationary. If you never had this flexibility and choice, ignorance is bliss.
    3) The elimination of TRUE FULL SCREEN editing and viewing. This allows you to view any picture without tool bars or buttons alongside or underneath the picture. If you never edited this way, again, ignorance is bliss.
    4) The color gamut produced under iPhoto '11 is off. I expect this is a bug OR Apple has decided that they feel the colors in iPhoto '11 are a better representation than those under '09. If you can't tell the difference, again, ignorance is bliss.
