How to re-install iPhoto?

so I inherited this 2011 iMac at work,  The previous user set it up with things like trials of photoshop, coda2 etc.  now I have restored my timemachine account from a macbook air to the iMac.
The problem I'm running into is this... I am getting an alert in the mac app store that iMovie and iPhoto are now ready for updates, BUT i cannot update them because the previous user who no longer works at this company somehow connected his appleid to those apps.
can I just uninstall / re-install iphoto / imovie because I'm on the same machine? or am I stuck with an unupdatable copy?

Sort of... when I was issued the MacBook Air Gen 1, it was on 10.6 and was pre-installed with iLife (our helpdesk wiped out the mac from the previous user and reinstalled using the usb stick).  I then was upgraded to 10.7 (still had iLife on the machine).
I've been building in-house iPad and iPhone apps and now was issued an iMac (woo hoo ) but all is not well in mudville as now I have this badge over my mac app store icon to update 2 apps, which got registered to our previous developer... now I know I don't want to uninstall iMovie (I've actually used it for work quick edits of screen grab video) but I suppose I can just live with quicktime trim?? but I like adding things like notes on the screen introductions to the next person on the video etc...
I'm guessing I'll need to ask the company to spring for another iMovie copy???

    i upgraded to snow leopard but iphoto was not included. How do I install iphoto on snow leopard 10.6.8?

    IPhoto is not included in any OS upgrade. It is a seperate application. Unless you choose to erase your drive when you upgrade no application including iPhoto is affected by the upgrade (except potential compatibility issues). If you need to reinstall iPhoto for and reason you do it from the original source. Either
    1- the restore disks that came with your computer
    Or
    2- the iLife DVD upgrade that you purchased
    Or
    3- the App store

  • 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.

  • HT4178 how do i install iphoto on max 10 6.8 after putting a new hardrive ?in

    how to install iphoto in max 10 6.8 ater putting in a new hardrive so i can put back my photos?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you purchased iLife on a disc or your Mac came with DVDs, insert the Applications DVD or Mac OS X Install Disc 2 and install iPhoto performing a custom install. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest version.
    If you purchased iPhoto in the Mac App Store, the most recent version isn't compatible with your Mac OS X version, so you will have to upgrade OS X if you want to install iPhoto from the App Store

  • How do I "install" iPhoto themes?

    I downloaded iPhoto '11 from the App Store, now my themes can't be located when I attempt to create a book. I can see the themes in my Library folder - Application Support - iPhoto - Themes, there are about 343 theme folders in there, so how can I "install" them? How can I get iPhoto to find them? I see a number of people have had this issue, but as I downloaded the App rather than installed it from a disk, I don't have the option of re-installing it. Would be grateful for any suggestions or advice.
    Thanks

    How odd? Those links bring us right back to here...
    Reinstall.
    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 or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

    iPhoto '11 will work with 10.6.8 - as will iPhoto '08 and '09 (and iPhoto 6) - you can purchase any of thoses ilife DVDs that you can find on eBay on Amazon and install iPhoto or all of iLife
    The App store only sells the latest version and it will not work on 10.6.8

  • How Should I Install iPhoto 4.0?

    Hi,
    I use Mac G4; run Mac OS X 10.4.11 - TIGER; have iPhoto 1.1.1.  I just downloaded a free copy of iPhoto 4.0.  Is iPhoto 4.0 a standalone application?  Do I need to download upgrades to iPhoto 1.1.1 before I install iPhoto 4.0?
    Angel

    Thank you Niel for your prompt response to my issue.
    I did not download iPhoto 1.1.1 from Apple, I already had it on a second hard disk and copied it to my main hard drive a few days ago. I did not use it before because I didn't have a digital camera until now. I don't have iLife on any of my hard disks.
    I did download a free copy of iPhoto 4.0 just days after I installed iPhoto 1.1.1 on my main hard disk, and I don't
    know if I need any other updates to to bring me up to speed before installing iPhoto 4.0.  Should I just install iPhoto 4.0 and by doing so will it give me a standalone iPhoto 4.0 application?
    Sincerely,
    Angel

  • How can I install iPhoto on a 10.6.8 Macbook?

    Hello all-
    I had a quick question regarding the newest version of iPhoto '11.  Quite a while ago, I had to replace the hard drive of my (very old) Macbook Pro, and during this process I installed 10.6.8 on the new SSD.  Everything works perfectly, but I did lose my iLife install when the process was finished (I used the upgrade version of 10.6.8 as opposed to the full version, forgetting that the new drive wouldn't have my previous 10.4 install on it).
    Anyway, I'm looking to buy iPhoto '11, but the requirements on the App Store claim that it can only be used with 10.7.4 or later.  I can't find an older version of iPhoto that I can buy, so my question is-
    Can I use iPhoto '11 with a 10.6.8 Mac?  Has anyone successfully installed (not upgraded) iPhoto '11 on a 10.6.8 Mac?  If it won't work, how do I find/buy an older version of iPhoto which will work with my computer?
    Thanks for your help!

    I contacted App Store support, but it doesn't look like they'll be able to help me- apparently you can't buy the CD version.  I did find this on Amazon, however- I believe it's what you're talking about. 
    However, I'm not sure if this version will even run on my Mac- any idea on whether it'll work or not?
    Additionally, I found my old 10.4 discs that came with the computer when it was new- I'll try to get iPhoto installed off the bundled software installer and see if I can upgrade it from there.

  • How do I install iphoto for my mac with my start up discs for my mac?

    I have an mac OSx which was bought in may 2005. Mac gave any new mac users the iphoto program into the mac installed discs. ( I have 2 I dont know which one its on)
    My iphoto needs to be reinstalled as its not importing photos anymore. I need to instructed know how to use my disc to get iphoto in my computer. I dont want to reinstall my whole mac system. I just want iphoto put on.

    Start by getting Pacifist (versiontracker.com). Launch it. Then. in the Restore disk, go to System/Packages (something like that), and try to find the package you think is the right one. It will be obvious. Drag it onto the Pacifist window. Search for iphoto, and install.
    Before you do that, search for "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" and delete it. relaunch iPhoto. If that doesn't work, hold down opt+cnd, and launch iP. Rebuild it's database.

  • How to re-install iphoto in mac book pro

    I have mac book pro, I used to have iphoto installed and today I can't use this application. I tried to reinstall it but not able to do that as it won't let me update new os. Currently I have 10.6.8 and tried to update to os 10.7.4 to reinstall iphoto .But unable update os 10.7.4 or any latest os.. Please advise me to get iphoto.
    Regards

    iPhoto does NOT come with the OS. It is a separate App. Yes it is included on every Mac when new.
    Since you are running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 you got 2 DVDs witrh your system. One is for installing the operating system, OS X, and the other is for reinstalling the iLife Apps that come with every Mac.
    So find your original system discs and the Applications disc in particular. Delete, "Move To Trash", the current iPhoto app then reinstall from that Applications disc. Then use Software update to update it to the most current version.

  • How do I install iphoto?

    I have an old ibook G4 computer and I am trying to get iphoto on it and install into my computer?

    You need to install it from an iLife 09 or earlier DVD; places such as Amazon or eBay may sell these.
