I cannot find iPhoto on my new macbook pro

Where can I find iPhoto on my new macbook pro?

iLife apps don't come preinstalled on new computers. Now, open App Store > Updates and accept iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand, so they'll be registered to your Apple ID and you'll be able to download them whenever you want

  • Cannot install office 2008 on new Macbook pro.

    I have just received my new macbook pro 17 inch. I"ve installed the bundled apps cd, but when I try to install Mac Office 2008, I receive the following error:
    Microsoft office for Mac can't be installed on this disk. newer-version-installed message.
    I'm running Snow leopard 10.6.4 and have only installed firefox and AIM besides the software that came with the mac.
    I've searched the Mac and cannot find any reference to Microsoft or office 2008. I've also gone through the "Remove office 2008 manually" from the Microsoft website and again have not found any files or folders they referred to.
    Does anyone know what else I can do to solve this issue?

    Hi baltwo,
    However, running Remove Office might do the trick.
    I mentioned it anyway because I've seen posts in the past here where the same thing happened. The OP had manually deleted everything they could find, but still couldn't install without either running the Remove Office tool, or going the Draconian route and formatting the drive, reinstalling everything from scratch.
    I think that happens if you've opened any Office trial app. It must put a hidden file on the drive somewhere that tracks your 30 day usage from there. If it does exist, then using the Remove Office tool is the only way to get it off the hard drive so you can install the full version.

  • Migrated iPhoto content to new MacBook Pro,  but can't get '11

    Hi there,
    I migrated my iPhoto content from my old laptop to my new one, the new one has OSX 10.6.7, but somehow I seem to have migrated iPhoto v8.1.2 also. iPhoto '11 should be part of 10.6.7, right? iPhoto '11 cannot be found on my new computer, did one cancel the other?
    My hubby did exactly the same thing, migrated his old iPhoto content to his new MacBook Pro and he has iPhoto '11. I have tried to download it but it seems that it's too big to download, it requires a physical disc. My computer came with the software already loaded.
    If anyone can give me any pointers on how to fix this I'd be so grateful.
    Thanks,

    How did you migrate the iPhoto content?
    As to iPhoto version - iPhoto does not come with any OS - it comes on new computers and can be purchased as part of iLife or in the App store
    reinstall iPhoto - go to your receipts folder ("Your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts) and remove any iPhoto receipts and reinstall from the restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install of bundled software only

  • Cannot install Adobe Air on new MacBook Pro - Help!

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro and I am trying to install a program from Real Networks called Rinse (cleans up your iTunes).  When installing Rinse, I get a message that says the program requires Adobe Air and that I will need to download and install it.  I have downloaded the Adobe Air install program from the Adobe site, however when I go to install it, it either does nothing at all---or it gives me an error message that I need Adobe Air in order to install Adobe Air (makes no sense).  Specifically, I get the message below:
    This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found.
    Please download the latest version of the runtime from
    http://www.adobe.com/go/getair,
    or contact the application author for an updated version.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Hi,
    I would recommend you try downloading Adobe Air from this link : Get Adobe Air.
    You will have to manually select the operating system and version before you begin the download.
    If you continue to have the same issue, I would recommend that you post it in the Adobe Air Forums.
    Thanks

  • Copying iPhoto Library to new MacBook Pro

    I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro primarily to use when travelling. I also have a iMac which will continue to be my main mac. I naively thought that by using Migration Assistant I'd be able to copy/transfer all the stuff I have on my iMac (iTunes Library, iPhoto Library etc....) to the MacBook Pro but it's clearly not as simple as that.
    Can someone please help me to get the content on my iMac to the Pro and is there a way to update any new photos etc automatically from my iMac to the Pro? It's worth adding that I also have a Time Capsule which is used for backing up from the iMac.
    All help gratefully appreciated!!

    I naively thought that by using Migration Assistant I'd be able to copy/transfer all the stuff I have on my iMac (iTunes Library, iPhoto Library etc....) to the MacBook Pro but it's clearly not as simple as that.
    I don't know what problems you've had, but I was able to do that with Migration Assistant.
    To move your Library:
    1. Connect the two Macs together
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder on the iMac to the same location on the new one.
    3. Launch iPhoto.
    That's all there is to it..
    is there a way to update any new photos etc automatically from my iMac to the Pro?
    Yes, simply use the Pro as a back up location and back the library up using an app like DejaVu.
    However, this will work only as long as you use the Pro as a back up for the iMac. If you add photos to the Pro and then try and sync the two you may damage either Library.
    Alternatively, you can use iPhoto Library Manager to move Photos, Events and Albums, plus associated metadata between Libraries.

  • So I accidentally deleted iPhoto on my new MacBook Pro...

    I just bought a new macbook pro to replace my old black macbook and during the migration I accidentally replaced (and then deleted) iPhoto. Is there anyway to download a new app without spending $5 on it from the app store? Was thinking of going to a workshop at the apple store and seeing what they can do for me considering I just spent another $1700 on a new computer.
    Thanks!

    Hi giunta,
    Have you checked your Trash? Is iPhoto in there? If so, just move it back out.
    Cheers,

  • Cant copy over iPhoto Library to new Macbook Pro (Retina 15")

    So I tried migrating everything to a new Macbook Pro, all in all it was successful, but when I tried to start iPhotos up, the iPhoto Library got corrupt during the Library Upgrade process. I then copied my original iPhoto Library file (90GB) to an ext. harddrive to try again, but when I tried to copy that (original)  file on to the Macbook Pro, the computer kept telling me that there is not enough free space. This dont seem right to me, given that I have 175GB free space available out of 256GB.
    Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it because of the large file size? Is there a way to copy this file on to the machine? I've never ran into a size limit for files before, but then again, I cant remember the last time I tried to copy a 90GB file.
    Any people would be greatly appriciated!

    Yeah thats all fine, and everything is backed up. but I dont want to link the library to an ext drive.
    I actually got it working in a really convoluted way:
    I opened the iPhoto Library Package and copied the MODIFIED and ORIGINALS folders (these were the largest sized folders) over seperately from the rest of the Library. There seems to be some sort of size limit to Mountian Lion that wont let you copy files that are larger then 24GB in size (maybe an SSD thing?). So I copied over everything to the desktop, and then put all the folders back in the package. That worked like a charm!
    *I wouldnt recommend this method to a novice. Its imperative that everything goes back in the right place, or you can destroy your Library.
    I guess if I didnt do it this way, I could have also tried CCC, or time machine, which I believe circumvent this size restriction.

  • Can't update iPhoto on my new Macbook Pro?

    Hi guys!
    I just got my new Macbook Pro a few weeks ago. I just got around to try to open iPhoto, but when I open it it tells me to update. When I download the update, it tells me that I need iPhoto 9.0, which I know is on the iLife '11 disc. However, I saw no need to purchase iLife and don't want to spend the money on it, as I will not need a new version at a later point... What can I do?
    Thank you!

    Have you moved iPhoto from the default location? If so, move it back.
    Regards

  • After I used the migration tool to transfer contents of my previous MacBook Pro I cannot log in to my new MacBook Pro. I have tried using old and new passwords but to no effect. I cannot use my Apple ID. How can I re-set my MBook to factory setting pls?

    I have been a proud owner of Apple products for many years. However, this problem is very frustrating! Any help will be appreciated. I used the migration tool to transfer the contents of my old MacBook Pro to my new shiny MacBook Pro Retina! After migration finished I tried to access my new MacBook Pro retina. However, when asking me to log in it refuses to accept the passwords from either the new MacBook or the old one! I do not have the option of using my Apple ID either.... Please help! Unfortunately, I am past my 90 day Apple Support!!

    Restart holding down the CMD+R keys, launch Disk Utility and erase the HD, quit DU, and restore the OS. On first boot, use the Setup Assistant to do the migration. Details in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

  • I am trying to transfer files from my MacBook Pro to my iMac using migration Assstance and they cannot find one another.  My MacBook Pro uses Migration Assistance 1.0.6 and my new iMac uses 10.5.3.  What can I do to allow sharing?

    How does one transfer Files from an old MacBook Pro to a new iMac?

    10.5.3 is at least part of the problem.  You need to apply the latest updates to that mac.

  • Help -- cannot install Windows on my new Macbook Pro

    I have a new 2010 Macbook Pro with an Intel SSD inside, and where the DVD drive is I have a 500 GB hard drive with the MCE Optibay, which I used with no issues for 1 1/2 years in my last laptop. I have everything set up nicely however I find I am unable to boot any Windows disk when I go to install boot camp. I set up the 2nd partition, then go to do the installation using an external DVD drive that I've used before with no issues. The disc is sesned and everything seems like it will work but instead of booting the Windows installer disc I get a "No" Mark (like Ghostbusters without the ghost) and it stops booting. I've tried Vista (two different discs) and 7 and nothing will boot.
    Can anyone tell me how I can go about installing Windows on my 2nd disc. The disc itself is fine. Boot Camp sees it and says which disc would I like to make a Windows partition on, and all seems fine -- but the OS just won't boot off the Windows disc no matter what. Have tried 2 different external USB drives and it's frustrating.
    Hope someone can help!

    The problem you are experiencing probably isn't unique to your particular MBP. It took me two months to get Win7 (32 bit) installed and working on my MBP (early 2010 15.6" screen). I gave up on trying to get the 64 bit version to work. As far as I am concerned getting Win 7 to play on a Mac Book Pro is a crap shoot. You really have to be lucky, good has nothing to do with it. Maybe in another 6 months things will have progressed to the point that the installation is actually a no brainer. Sorry I can't be more supportive of your efforts.
    I don't have a clue as to why the 32 bit version installed (not without problems I might add), and I could never get the 64 bit version to play. I used the retail version of Win 7 Ultimate which came with both 32 and 64 bit DVD's.

  • Cant find iphoto after restoring my Macbook Pro!

    i restored my entire macbook due to unexplainable "other" files weighing it down. Now I can't find iphoto. where do i download this and how come it didnt restore on its own? I looked on the app store and itunes but couldnt find it. Please advise.

    where do i download this and how come it didnt restore on its own?
    IPhoto is not part of MacOS X.
    Reinstall iPhoto, like you originally installed it. Which MacOS X version do you have, and how did you originally install iPhoto?
    The problem is, that iPhoto is no longer sold at the AppStore.   If your iPhoto version came preinstalled with MacOS X 10.7 or later, look at the Purchases tab of the AppStore and reinstall from there.
    For earlier versions reinstall from the disk, that came with your Mac. But these earlier versions will not run on Yosemite. Which version do you have now?

  • Unable to run iPhoto on a new MacBook Pro after transferring from an older MacBook

    Hello,
    I recently transferred all of my information from an old MacBook Pro to a new one. Currently, when I try to open iPhoto, I get a message that states "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple." I got the iPhoto Library Upgrader from Apple and downloaded it, but the same error message occurs. Any ideas? All of my photos are stored on my computer, but the application will not run. Thanks!

    It's not enough to donload the updater, you also have to run it. It's in your Applications/Utilities folder.

  • Why can't i find iWeb on my new MacBook Pro

    I have a new and completly updated MacBook Pro with OS X version 10.8.2, but i can't find iWeb in my system. How come? And where can I find it? Maybe download iWeb elsewhere?

    iWeb, along with iDVD, was discontinued by Apple from before Lion was released.  If you have the disks that came with your previous Mac you can use the disks that came with it to install iWeb.  Or if you have your previous Mac you can just copy iWeb from it to your new Mac.
    Be warned that iWeb 2 does not play well with Mt. Lion.  iWeb 3, however, works fine with Mt. Lion.  If you didn't have iWeb 3 previously you can get it by purchasing iLife 11 or 09 from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: iLife 11 or eBay.com.
    The following will help you launch your website in iWeb the first time:
    In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
