How do I restore my iPhoto app from a deleted apple account?

I went to the Genius Bar today because my MacBook Pro wasn't turning on, they reinstalled OSX mavericks but that did nothing. They deleted the files from my account which I'm okay with but now I can't restore my iphoto, iMovie and garage band. These apps were previously purchased from an old apple account that I have deleted because it was hacked into multiple times. I just don't want to pay $15 for iPhoto again, I don't expect my precious pictures back. Help please?

They deleted the files from my account which I'm okay with but now I can't restore my iphoto, iMovie and garage band.
The people at the Genius bar usually do not wipe a Mac without making sure that you have two backups. What happened to your backups? You should be able to restore the iLife applications from the backups.
These apps were previously purchased from an old apple account that I have deleted because it was hacked into multiple times.
Only AppleSupport can enable the old Apple ID for you again, if it has been disabled because of an account security problem.
You need to contact Apple Support and speak to the account security team. Only Apple can help you with this.
See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:
     Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.

  • How do I restore an iPhoto library from Time Capsule

    My iMac was stolen. I have a MacBook Air running Yosemite version 10.10.2. The iPhoto Library was not on the MacBook. How do I restore my iPhoto Library from a Time Machine backup on my Time Capsule onto my MacBook? I am using iPhoto version 9.6.1.
    Two complications:
    1. I have several hundred photos from a different iPhoto library on my MacBook.
    2. I think the iPhoto library that is hopefully on my Time Capsule is too big to fit on my MacBook. I have 50 GB free space remaining on a 256 GB SSD.
    Thank you.

    If the library to be restored is too big for your boot drive you'll need to get an external HD, formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored, and restore the iPhoto Library to it according to the instructions in the following screenshot:
    With the restored library up and running you can use the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager to merge the Macbook library into the restored library on the EHD.  A possible candidate for the EHD is the  OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro USB 3.0 / FireWire 800.  It lends itself nicely for portable use.
    Once you are satisfied that the merge was successful you can delete the Macbook library from the Pictures folder.

  • How do I Restore my iPhoto library from my time machine if it does not give me the restore option?

    How do I Restore my iPhoto library from my time machine if it does not give me the restore option?
    When I go into my backups and click on the iPhoto library it does not come up with an option to restore it just says open and of course then won't let me open it because it is a back up in time machine? I need these photo very important.

    No.  purchases are forever tied to the apple ID used to buy them.  Delete them and buy your own copies.

  • How can I restore an iPhoto library from Time Machine (ML) - when I TM doesn't see the backup??

    Hi,
    I recently did a Time Machine backup of my MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion) onto an external HDD. Around the time of the last backup, my system was behaving funny so I decided to rebuild the OS X.
    Because the last TM backup was of a system that as mentioned, was somewhat 'unstable', and I only had a few backups available (didn't have TM running too long beforehand) - I decided not to use TM to 'restore' my system. I just did  a clean install of ML and planned on pulling files over manually. I'd done this before and it worked a treat.
    This time ran into a snag. The backup disk TM used was an external HDD which I wanted to upgrade (suffice to say it works fine). So, I needed to move the backup.backupdb directory to my other HDD. The copy seemed to work fine ... so far so good.
    I installed the new ML OS on my MacBook Pro and that was fine too. I was able to pull most of my files over by going into the TM backup and copying what I needed.
    BUT, for some reason, this didn't work for the iPhoto library?
    Alas, I found that you need to do a 'restore' iPhoto library file from whithin TM. So I fired up TM and noticed that it didn't recognise the old backup file located on the HDD. I.e. when I turned on TM, pointed it to the external HDD (where I copied the previous backup to), it started a fresh backup.
    So ... my question is - "How do I restore the iPhoto library if I can't get to it from TM?"
    Thanks in advance to anyone that can help! The last 15 years of photos are stored in this library!

    Hi ...
    I've found a solution to my problem.
    Time Machine locates extenal HDD backups differently depending if they were done via a network or via a USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt connection.
    My initial backup was done via a direct Thunderbolt connection. I ran into the above issue b/c the second time when I tried looking for the backup file the HDD was conencted to my iMac and I was accessing it via a network conenction.
    I simply connected the drive directly to my MacBook pro and ... voila. I was able to see the backup, select the iPhoto library and begin the restore.
    Hope this helps.
    BTW - I found this out by reading the 'blue box' selection on this page: http://pondini.org/TM/E2.html

  • How do I restore my iphoto library from backup

    Hi,
    I'm trying to find instructions on restoring my iPhoto library from a backup that is not based on Time Machine.  I have an external hard drive with the entire user folder information which includes all the photos.  I'd like to know if I should delete current file and replace with the backup, or something else?
    Thanks much!

    The risk free way to do it is to drag the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the Back Up to your Desktop.
    Then open it and check it:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    If it's all there and working correctly, then - and only then - delete the one currently in your Pictures Folder.
    Regards

  • How do I transfer a particular app from a different iPad/account to mine

    There's this app in my cousin's iPad that I wanted to transfer to mine... It was purchased from a different apple account which, from what we know, was disabled... We tried, logging the account, from which the app  was purchased from, into my iPad but then we couldn't get it through because it said the account was disabled... It's still in that particular iPad, and working... But I'd like to know how to transfer or share it to mine... And how we could possibly update the app, despite the account being terminated....

    All apps, and other downloaded content, are tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it - so if that app was bought by your cousin then it will be tied to your cousin's account, you can't copy or transfer it to another account. If the app is still in the store then you should be able to buy your own copy of it.
    For your cousin's account being disabled, he/she might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    He/she might then need to log out of the account on your their by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
    If that doesn't fix it then he/she might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • How can I remove my phone number from a previous Apple account still in use?

    I originally shared an Apple account with my family until we all updated our iphones! Now everyone could see everyone's imessages! Just to be safe I made another Apple ID just for me! How can I take off my phone number and emails from the other Apple account?
    Thanks!

    This happens when you are using the same Apple ID for iMessage.  To fix this you have two choices:
    On all but one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
    On all of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".  Also uncheck anyone else's phone number, if present.

  • How can I restore the iPhoto app deleted from applications by accident?

    I am trying to restore the app iPhoto that was deleted. I restarted the computer using the Mac OS X v10.2 upgrade Install disc 1 and the response was, "you have a newer version of this system on your iMac" or something like that. How can I reinstall the original app or even an updated version that is compatible with OSX 10.2.8 (6R73)?
    Thanks

    Use the restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install of bundled software only

  • Help! How can I restore iTunes/iPhoto library from Time Capsule to new Mac?

    Sorry to trouble you, because it looks like this should be an easy thing, but I can't find an answer anywhere...
    I've got an 2008 MacBook Pro that suddenly began to suffer start up problems. Sometimes it boots to a black/grey screen and sometimes the screen/mouse freezes after only a few minutes of use.
    I've borrowed my brother's Mac until I can find out how to get mine repaired, so I'd like to copy over my iTunes and iPhoto stuff from a Time Capsule (where I'm hoping it hasn't been damaged) to his Mac. I only want to copy the iTunes and iPhoto stuff, without filling up his computer with all my other junk.
    Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks!

  • HT4927 How do I restore my iPhoto library from a time machine back up of a macbook pro to an iMac?

    My Macbook Pro is in a coma, but luckily I  backed up on the 20th May. I managed to get my itunes library back on my new iMac; but cannot figure out how to do the same with iPhoto. Any ideas out there?
    Thanks in advance!

    Again - this is not the way to do this and generally does not work - you must use TimeMachine as designed - instructions link again  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
    Note especially
    Restoring data from Time Machine backups
    With Time Machine you can go "back in time" to restore files, versions of files, or your entire system. Make sure your backup drive is connected and mounted (if not, Time Machine will alert you that "Your Time Machine backup disk can't be found."
    If prompted, enter an administrator name and password to proceed with the restore.
    Restoring specific files or folders
    Choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine menu and the restore interface appears. You can literally see your windows as they appeared "back in time."
    You can use the timeline on the right side of the window to reach a certain point back in time (the timeline shows the times of all backups on your backup drive). If you don’t know exactly when you deleted or changed a file, you can use the back arrow to let Time Machine automatically travel through time to show you when that folder last changed.
    Note: Dates in pink indicate the data resides on your Time Machine backup device. Dates in white indicate the data resides on your Mac. In OS X Mountain Lion and Lion, portable Macs have the feature of local snapshots. See thisarticle for details.
    You can also perform a Spotlight search in the Time Machine Finder Window search field to find a file. Simply type the Spotlight search field and use the back arrow to have Time Machine search through your backups to find what you are looking for.
    Before you restore a file, you can also use Quick Look to preview a file to make sure its the one you want. Highlight the file and press the Space Bar to bring up a quick look.
    To restore, select the file/folder and click the "Restore" button. The file will automatically be copied to the desktop or appropriate folder.  If the file you are restoring has another file in the same location with the same name, you will be prompted to choose which file to keep or keep both.
    Restoring your entire system from a backup
    If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
    With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Recovery system (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility.
    Note: If "You can't restore this backup because it was created by a different model of Mac" appears when restoring a backup that was made on a different Mac, follow the onscreen instructions.
    If you are restoring a backup made by one Mac to a completely different Mac
    Important: If the backup you are about to restore is from a completely different Mac, use the Migration Assistant to transfer data from the backup, as described in the next section.
    Migrating a Time Machine backup to a new Mac
    When you buy a new Mac, you can transfer all of your applications, files, settings, and other information from a Time Machine backup you've already made.
    You will be asked if you want to transfer files when you start up your new Mac for the first time. Or, you can use theMigration Assistant (located in Applications/Utilities).
    After Migration Assistant completes the transfer and you select your existing Time Machine backup drive, you will be prompted with "Inherit Backup History". Once selected you will be able to continue to use your existing Time Machine backup on your new Mac.
    And again for detailed TM answers go to the Time Machine forum

  • How do I restore my iPhoto library from my old macbook (stored in time machine) to my new iMac?

    I have my old macbook backed up on my time machine.  The problem is, when i enter time machine on my new iMac, I can only restore files from the current iMac's backups.  I can go to finder, and find my files under the "shared>airport time capsule" menu, but I don't know how to safely and accurately restore the iPhoto library to the current iMac's iPhoto.
    Most of the searches I did on this topic kept advising to enter time machine, find your file and hit restore, but I can not select files from my macbook's backup in time machine on the current iMac.

    Linc Davis wrote:
    While in Time Machine, press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and navigate to the files you want to restore.
    If you need to restore from a backup of the hidden user Library folder, first select a snapshot, then press shift-command-G. A Go to Folder dialog will open. In it, you'll enter the path to the folder. The dialog will help you by automatically completing the parts of the path when you start to type them.
    The path begins with slash character ("/"). Enter that. The rest of the parts will be separated by slashes.
    The next part is the date and time of the current snapshot. Enter a "2", and the rest of the date should be filled in automatically. Press the right-arrow key to jump to the end of the path. Enter a slash to start the next part.
    Next is the name of the volume (usually "Macintosh HD" unless you gave it a different name.) Start to type that, then jump to the end and enter a slash.
    The next part is "Users", followed by a slash.
    Next is your (short) user name, which is also the name of your home folder.
    Finally, enter "Library", then press return. You should now be in the Library folder. From there you can get around as in the Finder.
    This seemed to do the trick.  I found the iPhoto library file and chose restore.  The question now is where to put the iPhoto library file.

  • How do I restore my iPhoto library from a number of different back-ups (different dates) in Time Machine?

    I recently upgraded my internal hard drive to a 1TB. Prior to this, I had been backing up to an external hard drive using Time Machine and then deleting the older photos to make room for the newer ones. Now that I have a large internal hard drive, I would like to restore ALL my photos back onto my MacBook so that they are readily available. I thought I could just go to each of the individual back-ups in Time Machine prior to deletion and "Restore All" and they would be ADDED to my existing iPhoto Library on my MacBook. However, once restored, it had REPLACED the existing library. Luckily, I had just done a back-up prior to this, so I haven't lost anything. But, I want to restore all photos from all back-ups stored on my external HD back onto my MacBook. How do I do this? I have made note of the 3 dates I did back-ups prior to any deletions, so I know exactly which back-up dates to restore.
    Thanks for any help!

  • HT4946 How do I restore previously bought apps from appstore, from iTunes to iPhone again, after reseting iPhone?

    I had to reset my iPhone and before I reset it, I backed it up in iTunes (backup to computer). When I reconnected the iPhone back on iTunes, and clicked restore it only restored Contacts, Mail accounts and Calendar, but not photos, music but speccialy not Apps, even if they appear on iTunes Library. How do I get those apps back on iPhone?
    Thanks!
    MooonTooon

    The backup that itunes performs does not include any itunes content.
    If the apps are in itunes on your computer, then open itunes, connect iphone, select what you wnt to sync, sync.
    If you failed to transfer them to your computer, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries.
