I deleted Iphoto? How do I recover it?

Alright, so Iphoto was already installed when I got this (used) Mac, so I don't have the "disks" for it and whatnot. When I upgraded to OS x Yosemite, Iphoto refused to work, saying I needed to update it, however when I tried to update it on the App store, it said I did not purchase Iphoto with my current Apple ID and refused to let me get it. I did not know it costed money and I deleted it from the launchpad, hoping to re-install the updated version, but I went to the App store and it costs money. Now all my photos are gone and I don't know how to recover Iphoto, no matter how much I try. What should I do?

  • I have lost all my fotos in iphoto, how can i recover?

    I have lost all my fotos in iphoto, how can i recover?

    Simple and fast answer: restore from your back up.
    Other than that:
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • I accidently deleted iphoto; how do I get it back for free?

    I accidently deleted iphoto; how do I get it back for free?

    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.

    Has anyone accidentally deleted contacts how do I recover ?

    From a backup.  If you are using Time Machine on an Apple computer, simply open Contacts on your Mac, then open Time Machine and go back to a time when the deleted contacts were present.

    How Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    A few of the basic OS X installed applications can be restored from the Optional Installs installer located in the Optional installs folder on your Installer DVD.  However, if what you need is not there then follow the instructions below.
    How to Use Pacifist to Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive.  Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items.  Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
    Press RETURN.
    To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
    The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
    Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
    Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
    Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
    Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
    Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder. In the path field enter or paste ....
    /Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.)
    Click on the  "Go" button ..... • Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
    The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
    D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
    1.          In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
    2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
    2b.          or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
    3.          In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
    4.          On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
    5.          Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
              20 files were scanned. 20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk. 0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package. 0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
    6.          Click “close”. Go to step 7.
    Extract or Install........
    7.          In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
    8.          If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
    9.          In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
    10.          If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
    11.          Type in your password, click “OK”
    Pacifist will begin to extract files.
    12.          In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
    Notes:          Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
    Stop
    Leave original alone
    Update .....
    Default selection
    Replace .... (Replace option should only be used on full install packages)

  • Truecrypt volume is empty, but the volume was never deleted. How do I recover the files (I know the password to the Truecrypt volume)?

    Earlier when I went to access my truecrypt password encrypted volume, it showed that it was empty, and it contained 0 files. I never deleted the files and I am the only person with the password.
    I suspect it may be because (1) I tried making a password protected folder on disk utility or (2) tried to setup time machine and didn't quite work.
    My question is: is it possible to recover the files, if so, how can I recover the files. I've tried manually powering the computer off, restarting the computer, reinstalling truecrpt.
    Please help, I have many treasured pictures on the volume.

    Hi,
    DPM do not care about the Source File has changed or deleted, so SCDPM does not know if a File has been changed or is deleted.
    So there is now known way to archive your Goal.
    I can imaging that you can archive this Goal with a Powershelgl Script, but would be not this easy

  • I deleted iphoto, how do I get it back?

    I accidentally deleted iphoto of my 2009 macbook pro and I don't havet the startup disc anymore. Is there a way to get it back on my computer without paying th $14.99 in the app store?

    Depends - did your computer come with restore disks? If so then you either have to pruchase form the App store or call Apple and purchase new restore didks
    If it did not come with resotre disks and you accepted the Apps form the App store tehn you can reinstall form teh purchased list in the App store
    If you have purchased an iLife upgrade DVD then you must hav eit or pruchase a new one

    How i can recover iPhoto app i have deleted by mistake. i have got OS X "10.9.4" version.

    First look, if it is still in your Trash. If yes, use "Put Back".
    To download it from the App Store, launch the App Store and sign into the App Store (in the "Store" menu) with the AppleID you used when you set up your Mac and accepted iPhoto to your AppleID or when you purchased it.  Then open the "Purchases" tab of the App Store window and download iPhoto again.  You should see an "Install" button to the right of "IPhoto", if you already owned the current version of iPhoto. If your version was an earlier version and not bought from the AppStore, use the installer media you originally used to install iPhoto.
