I can't find iPhoto on my macbook pro

I recently had to get a new hard drive into my macbook pro and having received it back I am unable to locate iPhoto, wondering if I now need to purchase it or whether it is hiding somewhere. Any feedback would be grate. Thanks

Which version of iPhoto did you have and which version of MacOS X do you have now?
If iPhoto cam preinstalled on your mac with a MacOS X version 10.7 or later, you can reinstall iPhoto from the AppStore.  See this support document:
OS X: About OS X Recovery
Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X
If your computer came with OS X Lion or later and you erase your hard disk and install OS X, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start (up) from OS X.
Choose App Store from the Apple menu.
Enter your Apple ID and password when prompted.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.

    I can't find iDvD on my Macbook Pro...running OSX Lion...how can I get it?

    IDVD is sold separately.  (There are no realistic alternatives to iDVD.)
    You'll find it on the iLife 11 disc. Once installed Apple's website will update it to the latest version automatically.

  • Can't find iPhoto on my macbook air mid 2012

    Hi All,
    I have a problem. I just bought a macbook air mid 2012 13' notebook, and i don't find the iLife package (iPhoto, garageband, iMovie) on my laptop.
    This macbook is a used one, it means i bought it in a shop, but obviously someone had used it with a different apple id. it has still a garantie 'till december.
    And if i search for iphoto on app store, it says i need to buy these applications again.
    The interesting thing is, i already downloaded iPhoto app on my iPhone 5 last year. after a log in with my apple id on my macbook, can't find it.
    Someone please help me to understand the situation, and maybe some helpfull advice can pop up.
    Thank you,
    Peter

    This is the problem. Macs manufactured after the OS X Lion launch don't come with discs, so OS X, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand are registered to the Apple ID used to register the MacBook, so you can't install them free of charge.
    If you have just bought it, return it and get a new one because I don't think the shop will help you install the applications for free. A new MacBook will allow you to get those applications for free, so you won't have any problem. In case you still want to keep this MacBook, tell the shop to call Apple to deauthorize your MacBook from its old Apple ID, if they know which is it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

    One thing is iPhoto for OS X, and another thing is iPhoto for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. They are different apps for different operating systems, so iPhoto for iOS won't work on the MacBook

  • On MacBook Pro, in iPhoto, I can't find the "DON  In MacBook Pro where do I find the "DONE" button to save my editing changes and revert back to my library.

    In MacBook Pro, where is the "DONE" button to save my editing changes and revert back to the iphoto library?

    If you're using the Adjust editing pane there is no Done button. When you done with the editing just click on the Photos button at the top or use one of the arrows at the top to advance to the next photo.  No done button required.

  • Migration Assistant can't find External HD on MacBook Pro Mid-2012

    Hi, I have a MacBook Pro Mid-2012 running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and I am trying to use Migration Assistant to transfer Time Machine backups that are on my external hard drive, that I backed up from my old MacBook Mid-2010. The problem I am having is that Migration Assistant can't find my external hard drive. My MacBook Pro can find it when I plug it in (I see it in Finder), but Migration Assistant can't. Can anyone help or should I go to the Apple Store?  I need help with this problem as soon as possible.
    Thanks in advance,
    - Daniel 

    Since no one replied I figured out how to do it myself.
    1.) First I plugged in my external hard drive with my Time Machine backups on them, then I opened Finder and click on my external hard drive under devices.
    2.) Next I clicked on and opened the folder named "Backups.backupdb"
    3.) Once inside that folder I could see folders with the backups from Time Machine and all of the folders names were the date I backed up that backup. I clicked and opended the lastest backup folder.
    4.) Inside that folder, I clicked and opened the folder named "Macintosh HD"
    5.) Inside that folder, I clicked and opended the folder named "Users"
    6.) Inside that folder, I clicked and opended the folder named "Daniel" which was my Username on my previous Mac.
    7.) Finally I could see and access all my folders from my Time Machine backups from my previous Mac.
    Keep in mind this is only helpful if you are trying to access old backups (backed up from another Mac) on a new or different Mac. (Sorry for the blurry images)
    Hope this somehow helps someone else,

  • Where can I find a new 2008 Macbook Pro Battery?

    I hav had this laptop computer since 2008 and just recently discovered that the battery in the bottom is morphed/melted from too much heat. I read online and they said that this is normal and that i just have to buy a new one. Well, I have searched and I can not seem to find one. Where can i get one of these batteries?

    Bulging is not normal, but the Apple Stores are getting hard-nosed about replacing a swollen battery out of warranty.
    Apple still sells batteries for all MBPs but they are more expensive. If you do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click on "More Info..." that will bring up System Profiler showing the exact version of the MacBook Pro you have. The screen will look like this (note I fuzzed out the serial number--don't post serial #s here):
    The second line in Hardware overview--Model Identifier--tells us exactly your variant so we can decide the battery that you need. For some MBPs, the 15" and the 17" version use different batteries. If you post the model Identifier and your screen size, we can point to to a specific battery.
    Personally. I am somewhat reluctant to recommend eBay or similar sites. There are a number of reports here of auction site batteries sold as "new" arriving with 20-40 cycles on them. That's not "new." There are also some counterfeit batteries, branded Apple, but are inferior.
    I know the batteries that Apple sells are not great (my MBP from Late 2007 is on its second bad Sony battery), but third-party batteries seem worse based on posts here. You need to be careful if you go outside the Apple product line. If a responder here says they found a great third-party battery that lasted a long time, consider that but only from the same vendor the happy camper used. Ask  for a link that's not ebay.

  • HT3986 I got a macbook pro Retina and I installed a windows 7. The problem is I can't find drivers for the Macbook pro retina hardware which work for windows 7

    I got a macbook pro retina and I installed windows 7. How can I get the windows 7 drivers for the Macbook Pro Retina?

    Read the Boot Camp Instructions, you have to download the drivers using Boot Camp Assistant
    If you missed that I suggest that you read the instructions again.

  • Where can i find ram for 13" macbook pro mid 2009?

    I upgraded from 2G to 4G 2-3 years ago. Now I'd like to go to 8G, but Apple doesn't appear to be selling it anymore.
    Any suggestions for a reliable 3rd party solution?
    Here's a few specs of my Macbook Pro:
    MacBook Pro
    13-inch, Mid 2009
    Processor  2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Thanks,
    Ty

    Thanks very much!
    Crucial looks good. Can't believe how inexpensive RAM has gotten for this MAC!
    I also saw they have a Seagate 1TB internal hard-drive for $105?
    http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Apple/macbook-pro-%2813-inc h%2C-mid-2009%29
    Considering I only have 160gb internal right now, that's pretty hard to pass up too.

  • My sister can't find Pages on her Macbook Pro Mountain Lion, can someone help?

    My sister is new to her MacBook Pro Mountain Lion and thinks she may have deleted the Pages program. She's away at college for the first time and needs this program. I've told her to use Finder and search for Pages, or look in her applications, but to no avail. Help?

    How did she acquire Pages in the first place?
    If it was a purchase from the Mac App Store, all she need to do is launch App Store (from the  menu is easiest), sign in with the Apple ID & password used, click on 'purchases' & click the INSTALL button to the right of Pages in the list.
    If it was from a retail DVD she will need the DVD to reinstall.

  • HT1338 I can't open iphoto on my MacBook Pro because of a problem.

    This begin when synchronizing my iphone4s in my mac book pro in some way blockade iphoto.   help!
    I have all my photos are in this program

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.

  • I can't find iDVD on my MacBook pro.

    I run Maverick and do all of the suggested downloads, but???  Any suggestions I thought all of my software was there and up to date. 

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.
