How to get my iPhoto...

I bought used MBP Retina, i wipped out all data and sarted to configure it and I notice that there is no iPhoto, iMovie & Garage Band. When I loged in to my AppSotre account there was nothing in "Purchases" (I red thet there should be there).
I'm loged to my old Apple ID account.

This issue has come up before, all I can suggest is the following: What you should have done is wipe using Ineternet recovery, not the Recoverry Partition: Reboot while holding down Command + Option + R. Use Disk Utility to erase ALL of the partitions, including the Recovery partition. Then reinstall OS X. This will create a new Recovery partition. Once installed, register OS X using your ID & the iLife apps should then be available to you. If not, you'll have to go to an Apple store to fix.
I suspect what's happening here is that if these computers are wiped using the Recovery partition & the original Recovery partition is left, somehow this ties the computer to the previous owner, preventing a new owner from acquiring iLife or even registering OS X properly.

How can get my Iphotos as screen saver ...all disappeared after upgrading ...I have done as suggested in deleting the files from the Finder ..now just left with the "squirly default " screensaver option

How can I get my Iphotos to show as my screen saver please ? all disappeared after upgrading ...I have done as suggested and deleted all relevant files , but now am only left with the "Squirly " screen saver option in the drop down menu and no option for Iphoto library.

Slow, intermittent. Sometimes bootable sometime not. Odd behavior.
Sounds to me like a classic case of your HD failing.
Your SMART status may still show verified, with no errors on the Apple Hardware Test, Disk Utility shows no problems on Disk Repair- this is of no help.
I trust you have a good back-up and a bootable clone.

How to get in IPhoto chosen top photo of album presented in iOS

On Mac a photo can be chosen as top photo.
In Photos on iOS a random? photo is presented.

In fact, I find the following instructions easier to teach someone how to do it (because copying a link is not easy for everybody, many people will end up clicking on the link and then not know what to do):
1- Locate the Picasa Web Album you want to import
2- Click on the link "RSS" (in blue on the right side). This opens the album in RSS mode
3- Copy the url of the page (it doesn't matter that it now start with "feed://")
4- In iPhoto, open the File menu and select "Subscribe to Photo Feed"
5- Do a "Paste" and add (by typing): &imgdl=1
Then hit Enter
6- Wait for the album to display all images.
7- Select all and copy them to the iPhoto Library with Drag & Drop
8- Delete the Feed
(wow, I am stunned it makes 8 steps when spelling things out!)
It is interesting to note that, after step 2, if you add &imgdl=1 in the url and go there, you get what seems like the same page (the album in RSS), but the links to each photo are now hi-res (the photo name under each pic). Clicking one downloads the hi-res picture via the browser.
This is not satisfactory by itself as it would need to be done for each picture, and it doesn't put the picture directly into iPhoto, but I just find it worth noting.

¿How can I reinstall iPhoto after having it accidentally removed?

The thing is iPhoto came with my MBP when I first bought it, back then the osx was Lion. I was having trouble using my apple id to download stuff from the app store so my ex girlfriend (back then my girlfriend) used her id so that I could download free apps and stuff. that turned out to be a huge mistake because her id was instantly saved in my osx and all future apps and upgrades were made with her id. I upgraded to Mountain Lion as soon as it came out and iPhoto was working correctly until one day it no longer wanted to update, it kept me asking for my ex girlfriend's apple id password. It seems to me that the osx is still recognizing her apple id for some apps she downloaded to my computer, but why iPhoto? didn't it came with my MBP?
So I thought that iPhoto was free in the app store, since it came with my MBP, and attempted to delete the app from my computer and redownload it with my apple id (which eventually I could make work for the app store) so that I no longer had to depend on my ex girlfriends id, when it came to the surprise that it was not free. So I no longer have iPhoto and I'm needing it really bad because I bought an iPhone now and can't transfer photos to my computer via photostream.
I would really like to now:
1. How to get back iPhoto and make it upgrade with my ID.
2. How to eliminate all possible traces of my ex girlfriend's ID from my computer.
Thank you before hand.

Ok
So you need the Apple ID it was registered to or you need to purchase it
You can contact App store support using the link on the right of the App store page and see if they can help

Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac. I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11. Is that the cause of the problem? Please advise. Thanks.

Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

How do I get Photos - iPhotos to work with my iPhone

I have a 2 month old Mac Mini, and noticed a system upgrade available 10.10.3 - I always download all that are offered. 10.10.3 loaded, and I proceeded to open iTunes and iPhoto and plug in my iPhone, All went well until I noticed PHOTOS I opened it to see what it was and was asked to selected a library as it seemed the only option on offer I did and found a mass of over 3500 photos in folders that I did not totally recognise, including one of Face photos. It was only then that I noticed a NO ENTRY SIGN on iPhotos. Thanks to some Mac Forum advice I have now been able to install a new iPhotos 9.6.1 to replace this but I now have a big problem that I cannot edit the photos on my iPad or iPhone.
I have 10.10.3 installed with iPhoto-9.6.1 - PHOTOS-1 - iTunes-12.1.2.27 & iOS-8.3 on the iPhone & iPad.
I Plug the iPhone into the Mac, iTunes can see it, click the camera icon I see a list of 30+ folders - 2 are ticked which are MC, it has 19 photos in it and PP, it has 1 photo in it - which is correct for the iPhone.
In PHOTOS when I plug in the iPhone, a new command appears in the top bar ‘IMPORT’ click on that and the iPhone icon shows on the left side with a box to tick - ‘open this device’ - click it and the message is ‘NO PHOTOS’. Under Albums I find the same 30+ listed with MC containing 50 photos & PP with 33.
In iPhoto I plug in the iPhone & it is recognised with a message on the right , LOADING… and there it stays STUCK but not crashed. Down the left side is listed the same 30+ albums, MC with 50 photos & PP with 33.
Question - how do I get Photos/iPhoto/iTunes/to communicate with my iPhone/iPad, to update the photo albums as they did before 10.10.3 & Photos were introduced to my system???? Your help please

Thanks for your help III
BUT: I really don't get it! About ten days ago or so my iPhone 4s was suddenly able to hold on to the AirPort Express network.
But then yesterday all of a sudden the problem was back again!!! I didn't do ANYTHING! It was just back out of nowhere!
Wi-Fi connection on my iPhone came on... and off... and on... and so on, while my MacBook was working perfectly fine with the network!
So I reset the whole thing again on my MacBook with the AirPort utility, I reset the AirPort Express and I reset my iPhone... still not working... Honestly this freaks me out. Especially because it worked for more than a week and as I said I did not change a thing!!!
Does anyone have any ideas how to solve the problem other then reset everything? Or is there an explanation around for this occurence???
Thanks for your Help!

How do I get my iPhoto library from a ppc g5 to an intel iMac mid 2011

How do I get my Iphoto library from a ppc g5 to an intel imac mid 2011?

I recommend tha tyou do not use migration assistant - it has a poor record of moving the iPhoto library successfully
Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

How to get photos from an email message into iPhoto?

Not sure if this is for the iPhoto forum or the Mail forum, but here we go:
I'm trying to figure out how to get photos I've received by email (through Mail) into iPhoto. I seem to remember seeing Jobs demonstrate it onstage a year or two ago but I can't remember what he did. I recall it was a simple one or two step process.
Any help?

Still works for me
on an e-mail with photos attached go to the Save button next to the attachments list, point to the triangle to the right of Save inside the button and hold the left mouse button down - a menu will appear with save all at the top entry, a list of photos below that and "add to iPhoto" as the bottom entry - move your pointer down to the "add to iPhoto" and release and your photo will be a new event in iPhoto

I am a Canadian staying in England for a few weeks. How can I get an iPhoto Book printed win England and sent as a gift to an English relative? With my account, it seems that Apple only allows for my book to be printed in Canada.

in the iPhoto preferences change the print products country to the UK and give it a try - there may be some restirctions on billing but it has worked for some people

TS2551 forced to upgrade to get on IPhoto & now an ! shows up everytime I try to view/email/print a photo! How do I fix this?

I had to upgrade to get on IPhoto and now an ! shows up each time I click on a photo to email/print. How do I fix this problem? Thank you

What do you mean by "get on iPhoto"? What was the exact message that you got? It may have been a message to upgrade the library rather than the application. The only time the app needs to be upgraded is when the library has been opened by a later version of the application.
As for the ! it shows up when iPhoto has lost/broken the file path to the original files in the library. So apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
NOTE: since you gave no indication of the version of iPhoto or system you're using the following is based on iPhoto 9 (11) and Lion or later.
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How can I get my iPhoto back after installing Yosemite OS X 10.10.3?

Can I have iPhoto and Pictures (Yosemite 10.10.3) both on my iMac? How do I get the iPhoto back on screen and compatible with Yosemite 10.10.3?

Where is the actual instructions to getting my iPhoto back on my iMac? I can't stand this new OS X Update 10.10.3 for the new photo's app! This community page only talks about the 10.10.2 but no instructions on how to retrieve the previous version back?
The new display is awful, not appealing at all, can't label the pictures with names anymore, editing pictures, cropping and etc? Not user friendly! I don't like anything about this new change!
