I HAD MY MACBOOK MEMORY CLEARED AND CANNOT UPLOAD MY IPHOTO ANYMORE

I recently had my macbook memory cleared and reset to all default settings. I was advised to back up all my personal documents and data as everything will be cleared. However, due to some technical issue (and one of the reason for memory wipe) i had to manually backup important documents, which were my itune, iphoto, and uni assignments.
After i my macbook had been wiped and returned to default settigns i began to reinstalled the documents i had backed up on my external hard drive. However, when i came to open iphoto it was saying i had to download it from the app store?? when i looked on the app store it was asking for me to buy iphotos for over £10 !! i was not aware i would have to buy this feature as i never originally bought the feature when i first got my macbook. without downloading iphoto i cannot access my photos which was the main thing i wanted to save as these are personal memories of me and my children.
Can anyone help me with this issue as i do not feel i should buy iphoto just so i can recover my own photographs, i have already paid for the memory wipe as it was strongly advised by the technician, who also helped me back up my documents in the store (which took 4 hours). I am correct in thinking that iphoto originally came as standard on my macbook when i bought it in 2009 or will i be required to purchase this and download it again??

Your post says you have a late 2009 MacBook with OS X 10.6.8. With the MacBook, you received 2 gray-faced OS X disks, one with the system programs and one with application programs. The application program disk will have iPhoto on it, so you would re-install it from there. See this Apple note on how to reinstall iPhoto.

Hi, I have had my MacBook Pro stolen and the police have mentioned about using iCloud to see if I can track it's whereabouts - however I have no idea if I had iCloud on my MacBook or how to track it if I did - can anyone help me please? Thanks :)

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To see if you have iCloud, open http://www.icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. If you can access to iCloud, you have iCloud. If you get an error message or you can't access, you don't have iCloud. This only works if you only have the Mac (not an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad with iCloud).
Apart from that, "Find my Mac" must be turned on in the Mac in order to track it, so if it wasn't turned on, you won't be able to track it. If it was turned on, the computer must be connected to the Internet to be tracked.
If you can access to iCloud through http://www.icloud.com, choose "Find my iPhone" and look at the Devices list. If your MacBook Pro shows up, "Find my Mac" is turned on, so see if you can track it and tell to the police that it's possible to track your MacBook Pro

Is this audiobook configured to sync to your iPod via it's Books configuration pane in iTunes? Click on your iPod's device name under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the Summary tab. Look for the Books tab along the top and click on it.

Where can I find the System Mac 9 that would be in the (original release) factory shipped iMac's prior to 2010?
What are you refering to here? Mac OS 9 came out around 2001 ( or about ). Mac OS 9 last run in an emulation mode in 10.4.11 -- Tiger. Mac OS 9 ran on PPC machines that were last produced before 2004 or so.
I think your conclusion you need Mac OS 9 is incorrect.

iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.6.8), need to upgrade system to 10.8
We need to verify some information. Are you really running 10.6.8? What hardware?
Here is how to find out what version of Mac OS you are running:
Click on the blue apple in the upper left hand of the screen.
click on this icon
Click on the first line, "About This Mac"
Most of these are numbers & that's what we want.
What version & Processor do you have?

IPhoto updated after a restore and now I am missing photos and cannot further update iPhoto

I needed to restore my iMac after the hard drive crashed. I use TimeMachine and the restore process went OK. However, when I restored I noticed I had a new version of iPhoto. I previously had a really old version and now I had iPhoto 11. It appears that I have been updated to iLife 11. All was good, but I soon started to notice some issues:
(1) Some photos are not displaying in iPhoto. Basically there is just a dotted square where the photo should be. The meta-data is present (e.g. camera details, etc..) but when I select the "Reveal in Finder" menu option, I get "The operation can't be completed becasue the item can't be found". Note that this is only for a small % of my photos. The large majority are OK.
(2) I am unable to update the iLife apps in the App store. I receive the following message if I try to download an update: “You have updates available for other accounts…” I have only ever had 1 account.
Help appreciated.
I am running OSX v10.8.3 on a 2.8GHx Intel Core I7 27inch iMac.
Regards,
Anita

Anita,
“You have updates available for other accounts…” I have only ever had 1 account.
You may accidentally have created a second account.
How exactly did you restore your iMac after the hard drive crashed? Did the store, that replaced the drive, install MacOS for you and you used Migration Assistant to restore from Time Machine afterwards, or did you reinstall Mt. Lion yourself and used the Setup Assistant to restore your mac from Time Machine, or did you restore manually?
If the Store set up your mac and you migrated later, any new installed iLife apps may be tied to a different AppleID or no AppleID at all. Did you already sign into the AppStore with your AppleID (from the "Store > Sign In" menu)? Check, if the new version of iPhoto needs to be accepted to your Apple ID - in this case it will be in the "Accept" panel of the "Purchased" tab. If available, press "Accept".
Did you buy your Mac second hand? Then the preinstalled iLife apps may be tied to the AppleID of the previous owner. In that case contact Apple Support.
Regards
Léonie
Some photos are not displaying in iPhoto. Basically there is just a dotted square where the photo should be.
Once the update problem is solved, I'd try to rebuild the iPhoto library.

I cannot uploade to Youtube anymore.. What to do??

Hi
I have some problems. I cannot uploade my videos to YouTube anymore.
I have barely started making videos and now it seems that I cannot uploade anymore, and I don't know what to do..
I have only made videos in the past couple of months, and my movie-libirary only consists of four videos.
I have recorded nearly two hours worth of film (119 to be specific).
When I want to uploade, the programs 'does uploade', but after a few minutes, which it takes to uploade, nothing happens. Not even on Youtube
I hope someone can help me solve this issue

Hi Natalia,
I'm not sure which iPhone you have, but the iPhone 4 shoots 720p video, while the 4S and iPhone 5 shoot 1080p. I have the iPhone 4S and am very pleased with the overall quality. However, I don't think I've uploaded any iPhone clips to YouTube, so don't really have a point of comparison. Most of my videos are shot with a dedicated camcorder (Sony HDR-SR7).
When importing your clips to iMovie (I guess you are using iMovie '11), use the Full Quality setting - not Large as this will reduce the resolution to 960 x 540 (720p is 1280 x 720; 1080p is 1920 x 1080). Export as either HD 720p or HD 1080p, depending on the size you imported as (if on iPhone 4 it will be 720p; for iPhone 4S or 5 - 1080p). Upload this movie to YouTube using YouTube's uploader (as discussed previously).
When viewing your movie in YouTube, set the viewer to HD. You will see some degradation in quality if you view in the standard setting.
One other point. If you are using a third party app for shooting video on your iPhone, make sure you've selected a HD setting. Some camera/video apps allow you to choose a setting for resolution. The standard Apple camera app doesn't provide a choice, however.
I generally use the iPhone app "Filmic Pro" for video, as it allows me to shoot at 25 frames per second (25 FPS), as well as others, and has several choices for resolution (for example, 960 x 540, 1280 x 720 and 1920 x 1080). Most video apps and digital still cameras use 30 FPS (which is the NTSC standard) but as I'm in PAL country I prefer to use a consistent frame rate of 25 FPS, given that my main camcorder uses that frame rate. It produces a better result when editing clips from both sources in a single project in iMovie '11. iMovie can handle mixed frame rates, but it can cause slightly jerky playback in fast motion segments when one rate is converted to match the other.

I bought about 2-3000 songs over itunes, I had different macbooks in usage. and now I cannot hear my music, I payed for because I used it already on more than 5 accounts? but the old macbooks are "dead" and i will activite the music on the new one....

hi,
it´s a little bit complicated.
I bought all the music and i have problems now with "too many accounts" - but i will use my music only on 1-2 ipods and on 1-2 macs - but i use some old apple hardware before and so I´m over the "5" maximum pieces. what can I do... thanks!!!!!

Just had my MacBook Pro stolen and both back up drives!!!

Today the worse thing that could ever happen to a photographer did. My camera bag which had my 15" MacBook Pro, 2 back up drives (my only ones with all my work/photographs) passwords, etc was stolen out of my car. If anyone has experienced such a loss I could use some guidelines as to remedy this situation. I have over 50 password to various sites that gratefully I printed out.
What are the chances that these passwords could be recovered. When the computer shut down I hadn't logged out so there is access to all my files on the
laptop.
I no longer have 90% of images. This is a serious loss as anyone can imagine. I have my iPhone and wondering if I can salvage some images I had in my pictures folder that I transferred over to the iPhone as well as my iTunes.
much appreciate any leads.. ~A~

Sorry to hear about the situacion.
Certainly report the theft to the local authorities.
As far as the passwords, anyone who has physical access to your computer has access to your data (obviously). This includes passwords stored on the computer (although these are relatively hard to access unless you know what you are doing).
As you know the passwords to the various sites, better safe than even more sorry, go change all your passwords ASAP. If you keep credit card information on your computer, notify your bank / credit card company about the situacion.
Images that are stored in your camera roll can be imported back to any Mac or Windows system just by plugging in the phone and launching an image capture application (iPhoto or Aperture). Images that were synced from the computer to the phone will need to be extracted using a program like this: http://mobilesyncbrowser.com/
For the future, consider not keeping all your backups in one place, using a remote backup solution as well as local backups (http://www.qdea.com, http://www.idrive.com, http://www.carbonite.com), and if you are always doing photo shoots in public places with your computer present, perhaps install some tracking software (http://store.lojackforlaptops.com).
Best of luck to you.

My iWork08 that was preinstalled on my macbook is now telling me that my trial is over and I can no longer save any files?? I really need to get this fixed asap. I've had this macbook since '08 and never had this problem until last night??

Any help would be really appreciated!

I doubt that's it. I've had it since 08 and Pages, Keynote and Numbers were all there and in full working order for years. I did upgrade my OS. But that was a few months back and I've used these applications since then. I don't know why I would have to repurchse iWork after 3 years.

Macbook Pro lost, and cannot find, TC and AEs

Ok - I've never had an issue backing up to the Time Capsule or streaming iTunes to my two Airport Expresses. Out of the blue today, my Airport utility cannot find my TC or my AEs. However, I still have wireless internet access through the Time Capsule. I have no idea what is happening or why? There appears to be many people having this issue but I cannot find a solution. Can anyone help?

One other thing - lights are green on all devices.
