I had my hard drive replaced by Geek Squad and iPhoto is no longer on my MacBook Pro. How do I reinstall withouth paying?

I can't seem to find it in Purchases as other threads have suggested.

How did you initially install iPhoto and the other iLife applications? Did it come preinstalled on your Mac with Snow Leopard and does your mac have install disks? Your signature says 10.6.8.
Then iPhoto is on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one; then only select  to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only'.
This should restore iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand.
If iPhoto did not come preinstalled, and you bought the iLife applications separately on DVD, use this DVD to reinstall.
But if you bought iLife bundled with a Lion or Mt. Lion installation, you should be able to download again from the AppStore. Have you signed into the AppStore with exactly the same AppleID you used, when you set up your Mac?
How did you restore your other applications? If you restored by migrating your applications and data from a backup, iPhoto should have been included.

    Reinstall them from your original install disks or your backup.

  • I just had the hard drive replaced in my IMac and it only at 1 to 1 or maybe 2 to 1 speed. my old one did over 10 to 1. car it be speeded up?

    Any way to get hard drive to read/ write faster?

    Go back to about this Mac, click on more info, and then on System Report (I think that's what it says in lion - not on Lion right now); you will get a window like this:
    Scroll down to serial ATA and it'll show all the info about your hard drive.
    Since you had Apple replace it, I would address the problem with them - even if you're not under warranty, the replaced part has a warranty, so I'd explain what is happening and politely demand an explanation.
    45 minutes is a tad excessive for a normal CD unless you're burning at 1 x speed?

    What system are you running?  Have you tried going to the Canon website to download and install the latest drivers for that model?
    Are you running Time Machine?

    Music Rescue also works as far as restoring your playlists etc. I've used it twice, you can use the Quick Recover mode, but have to click continue trial (something like that) allot, cp. to purchase option. Otherwise diesel is right as far as restoring via  your purchase history.
    Here is a review of Music Rescue.

  • I set up Firefox sync from my old computer. This has had its hard drive replaced and been sold. I now want to retrieve the information and got my bookmarks on my new computer. I can't see any way to do this!

    I set up Firefox sync from my old computer. This has had its hard drive replaced and been sold. I now want to retrieve the information and get my bookmarks on my new computer. I can't see any way to do this!
    Help please

    To build on the second option provided by The Edmeister make sure that you have your Sync Key, if this is not the case Firefox Sync will not help you (data is encrypted with that Key).
    Finally, if the last sync happened long time ago, it may be the case that your data is not on the servers anymore. Firefox Syn wasn't designed as a back up service.

  • Had my hard drive replaced and I've restored from TimeMachine backup. I have changed my username and now I can't access my old backups on my TimeMachine hard drive

    I've recently had my hard drive replaced in the Apple Store.
    I used time machine to backup and after I got my mac back with the new hard drive I restored all my files which are now on my computer and I can access it with no problems.
    The problem is that I've changed my username (admin) and when I enter time machine, I can't access the backups of my old hard drive which is really frustrating.
    A red negative sign appears on most folders. Also in macintosh HD/users there is a folder named with my old username and I get the same red negative sign in the folders.
    Any idea what can be done about this?
    If you need more info just ask.
    Thanks in advance

    Turn Time Machine OFF temporarily in its preference pane. Leave the window open.
    Navigate in the Finder to your backup disk, and then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb" at the top level of the volume. If you back up over a network, you'll first have to mount the disk image file containing your backups by double-clicking it. Descend into the folder until you see the snapshots, which are represented by folders with a name that begins with the date of the snapshot. Find the one you want to restore from. There's a link named "Latest" representing the most recent snapshot. Use that one, if possible. Otherwise, you'll have to remember the date of the snapshot you choose.
    Inside the snapshot folder is a folder hierarchy like the one on the source disk. Find one of the items you can't restore and select it. Open the Info dialog for the selected item. In the Sharing & Permissions section, you may see an entry in the access list that shows "Fetching…" in the Name column. If so, click the lock icon in the lower right corner of the dialog and authenticate. Then delete the "Fetching…" item from the icon list. Click the gear icon below the list and select Apply to enclosed items from the popup menu.
    Now you should be able either to copy the item in the Finder or to restore it in the time-travel view. If you use the time-travel view, be sure to select the snapshot you just modified. If successful, repeat the operation with the other items you were unable to restore. You can select multiple items in the Finder and open a single Info dialog for all of them by pressing the key combination option-command-I.
    When you're done, turn TM back ON and close its preference pane.

  • I just had my hard drive replaced and restored everything from a Time Machine external hard drive backup and now my "note" widgets won't load. Any ideas ?

    I just had my hard drive replaced. I restored it using a Time Machine backup on an external hard drive. When I open Dashboard none of my "note" widgets will load. The other widgets open, such as weather, weather radar, calculater, dictionary, stock...  Even the iPhoto Mini widget works, just not the notes ( Sticky Notes and K-Notes ).  Any ideas on how to fix this ?

    I did some research and found the solution to my problem. So I hope it's okay to answer my own question.
    When you reinstall the OS, your Preferences go back to their default settings. Apparently Preferences is where this widget information is stored. This Preferences folder is located in the user Library folder which is hidden by default. You can access it using "one, or the other" of the following actions.
    Action 1:      (1) In the Finder, choose Go > Go To Folder
                         (2) In the Go To Folder dialog, type ~/Library
                         (3) Click Go
                                                          -- OR --
    Action 2:     Hold down the option (alt) key when using the Go menu. The Library folder is listed just                            below the Home folder.
    After opening the Preferences folder, the file that you want to locate for k-notes is named
    widget-com.rakoth.lichlord.widget.k-notes.plist
    After you locate it make note of the byte size of the file. Now, with the Preferences folder still open, open Time Machine and go back in time until you see a big jump in the file size. That will be your uncorrupted plist. Restore it and close Time Machine.
    Then Restart your computer.
    After following this procedure I brought up Dashboard and my blank k-notes were now refilled with the previous text and color that occupied them before I had to restore the OS.
    This procedure also worked for Sticky notes, which in the Preference folder are named
    widget-com.apple.widget.stickies.plist

  • I had my hard drive replaced and since my Time Machine backups say failed

    I had my hard drive replace and since my Time Capsule backups are failing. The exact message is:
    The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.
    The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk.

    No, replacing your hard drive has nothing to do with it. There is a problem with your backup drive. As far as Time Machine is concerned replacing a drive is no different than buying a new computer. Time Machine will need to make a brand new backup from scratch.
    If you have a large enough backup drive this may not be a problem. Otherwise, you may not have sufficient space to maintain a new backup and keep the old one. So, I would suggest under the circumstances that you erase your backup drive, then start a new Time Machine backup from scratch.
    Drive Erase
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After Disk Utility loads select the volume you wish to format from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the Disk Utility main window.
    3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
