How to get Iphoto software back on my Mac?

I'm on a mac X, 10.6.8 and at one point I was trying to free up some memory and I think I may have accidentally erased some software files from the IPHOTO program.  I now get icons on all of my photos of the last photo I viewed. 

With the very limited info you provide it looks like you corrupted your iphoto library - I doubt that you have an iPhoto application issue
TryBack up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window rebuild thumbnails and if needed repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database
And note that memory and disk space are totally different and have no relation to each other - how much free disk space do you have? 10 Gb is the Min!
For software
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
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 to get audio recordings back on my Mac?

    I accidentally deleted most of my audio recordings on the Mac.  But they're still on my iPhone.  When I sync my iPhone to my Mac they don't go back into iTunes but they remain on my iPhone.  Is there a way where I can get them back in my iTunes library?

    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup cop of your computer.  Have you failed to do this?

    Wow, you didn't make a backup of your files first?

    All I can say is make sure you have the same account name on the computer like before, even if you have to create a new user under System Preferences>accounts, then log into your itunes account with that and try to reverse sync from the iPhone like you would normally.
    Apple doesn't expect one to go backwards, so they are not all that friendly, you may have to ask around on MacRumors for third party software that can reverse sync from iOS devices.
    Good luck

    You can use some third party software to copy the music from your old iPod back to computer first, and then import the music into iTunes and re-sync them to yournew iPod. Here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • How to get deleted photos back in the trash can?

    I tried to dele all the photos I've deleted from iPhoto by cmd+delete all the photos in the iPhoto trash can, but that only made all the photos reappear in iPhoto.
    How do I get the deleted photos back in the trash can?
    I discovered this the next time I turned on my mac, so I couldn't just "go back".
    I really don't wanna go trough ALL of my pictures and delete the thousands of pictures I've deleted over the past three years..
    I now know how to delete dem properly, but not how to get them all back in the trash can. Please help me!
    Ida

    There's no way to do that. If you try and trash thousands of photos at one go you'll trash the Library - which is what sounds like you've done.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • Download from appstore get errors, and stops. but my account already charged $19.99 , how to get my money back?

    i tried to buy keynote from the appstore, and the download get errors, and stops. but my account already charged $19.99 , how to get my money back?

    Apple's policy states that, "all sales are final" > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    Keynote's minimum requirements are v10.7.4 Lion in case you are running a prior Mac OS X. That information is available under Information right side of the Keynote window at the App Store.
    and the download get errors, and stops
    Try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall
    Disable anti virus software.
    Then open the App Store. From the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads

  • While creating a project in Garage Band my sample tracks were cut short then overwritten in soundtrack pro. Any ideas why? and how to get my tracks back?

    While creating a project in Garage Band 09 my sample tracks were being cut short- I then discovered they had been overwritten in soundtrack pro.
    Any ideas why? and how to get my tracks back?
    I never opened soundtrack pro to edit the track just Garage band....the track just mysteriously saved as half the track.
    I am running Lion and I upgraded my Garage band to '11 hoping it would resolve the issue...it didn't. Now I can't find that tracks at all.
    The 2 songs having the issue are titled Exotic Yearning and Reunion.
    I am in the process of reinstalling the audio content from my discs. I just don't want to run into this again.
    Any thoughts and help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    After spending some time reinstalling the soundtrack pro 3 content I opened the full track called Reunion.
    It showed back up in Garage Band.*It was the full track and wasn't chopped off until I dragged it onto the project. Then it showed up chopped.
    Then I closed Garaged band and opened soundtrack pro 3....The song was again chopped off at the 1:33min mark
    Very Frusterated...:(

  • The last version of Firefox would go to a choice box when a new screen came up. I can't figure out how to get that feature back in Firefox 4

    For example. When checking spam in Gmail.....if I ask to delete all spam mail.....the cursor would automatically go to the box that pops up asking for confirmation. I can't figure out how to get that feature back. Otherwise everything works great!
