I had to reinstall my hard drive and now my iphoto is gone

when I reinstalled my hard drive i realized that a few of the apps that came with my laptop are now gone. Does anyone know how to get iPhoto back? thats the only one I care about and I dont feel as though I should have to purchase it if it came with my computer to begin with

It is a part of the "iLife" suite including Garageband and iMovie. Depending on what version of iLife you had; you may need to re-obtain the iLife software DVD's or Contact Apple Support if it was the most recent version which can only be downloaded from the app store. If you contact apple support via expresslane.apple.com they should be able to regrant the iPhoto download individually since the most recent iLife suite is now split up and each is an individual purchase.

I had to erase my hard drive and reinstall ox snow leopard. when i try to sync my Iphone or Ipad it says that my device was synced with another computer and I will loose my songs on the Iphone or ipad and it will be replaced by the library that is on my computer now. The library is empty since I had to erase the hard drive. Can anyone help?

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone/iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone/iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

Had to reformat the hard drive and now trying to reinstall...

I have my original CD for PSE 4.0 and installed it. That worked fine. I printed out the info from when I upgraded to PSE 5.0 because I upgraded online at Adobe.com. But when I went to my Order History, the download wasn't there. When I called support they said they could no longer support this "old" version of PSE and that I had to come here for help. Which is frustrating because it says right there on the upgrade info:
Sign in to Your Account at the Adobe Store at any time to re-download your purchased software.
Anyway, I've got the serial number for my upgrade to 5.0. Can anyone tell me how to re-download it? Thanks!!

It's absolutely stunning what is out there on the nooks and crannies of the Internet. So I'd recommend that you search there for the upgrade. After all, the upgrade file is useless without the serial number you have, so Adobe wouldn't object to someone posting it on a web site.
Google is the perfect place to start your search. Try to think of terms you'd find on the web site you want - but would not appear on the average web page. That way Google won’t offer to show you 100,001 hits - which can be depressing. Here I'd use "Adobe Photoshop Elements", and "upgrade", and "version 5.0".
Keep Google in mind whenever you are searching for something unusual. People are putting more and more information onto the Internet. That can help you.
In 2001, I typed the name “Monte Payne” into Google. We both were point men in the same Infantry platoon in Vietnam. He triggered a boobytrap and died while walking point.
To my surprise, Google found a plea from his family. 32 years later, they still were trying to find someone who could tell them how and where Monte died.
I wrote them a long letter explaining what happened and how he had died. I also included the address of a U.S. Geologic Service web site that shows a detailed map of the area where he died. (The U.S. Geologic Service hosts hundreds of web pages that show small-scale maps of what was South Vietnam.)
I also gave them the grid coordinates of the location where he probably died. I didn't know the precise location because I was in the hospital when it happened. But because we both had been point men, I found out everything about his death once I got back.
I’ve often thought that if there ever was a contest on the most unusual uses of Google, I’d enter that incident with Monte’s family. I’m one of fewer than 30 people on the planet who could tell his family how Monte died. Without Google, we never could have found one another.

Had to replace my hard drive and now I can't update iPhoto.

(Originally posted this question in the MacBook Pro community but it might do better here.)
When I try to through the App Store I get this message: To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.
I submitted this to the App Store help email (or whatever it's called) and was sent an answer that wasn't helpful at all. I replied to the "if this doesn't work..." but haven't heard back. Anyone else have a solution?
I'm running 10.8.2. So I seem to be up to date. And I have been able to update everything else (such as iTunes yestereday). It's only iPhoto that won't let me update and gives me the above message.

Yes, it is much better to post here for this issue than the other communities.
iTS email I think you are referring to...
iTunes Store Support
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
If their answer wasn't helpful, mind posting it here so I can verify?
Generally, when you have your HD replaced, you are going to run into this problem. However, I am suspecting about all your other apps being alright. As this issue should also effect iMovie and GB as well, thought maybe you are using them.
There is a good chance you'll have to correspond with iTS on this again, and they may eventually grant credits since it's unlikely pulling adoption plists is going to work here.

I had to get a new hard drive and now iPhoto is gone. Can I get it back?

I had to replace my hard drive and now my iPhoto is gone. Is there a way to get it back?
Thanks

reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

I had to replace my hard drive and when I plug in my iPad, itunes says it is synced with another computer, and asks to erase all my data. Help!

I had to replace my hard drive and now when I plug in my iPad, itunes says it is synced with another library

That is because the iPad can only "sync" to one iTunes library at a time. You can move all of the iPad contents into a new iTunes library. This discussion will give you a lot of useful information.

This one is Mac specific - not that it is any different except for the iTunes menu.

Remember to authorize the computer in iTunes first - From the iTunes menu go to Store>Authorize this computer.

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
*1. Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
*2. Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
*3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
*4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
*5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back

I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back

I'm unclear on what the problem is. Have you installed a system on the new hard drive, and if so, what system? Had you actually installed Mountain Lion previously, or only downloaded it? And what does "it only wants to upgrade" mean? Have you actually got Mountain Lion already installed? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.)
All Macs that shipped with Lion or newer are capable of internet recovery in situations like this. Just hold down command-R and it should start in recovery mode over the internet if necessary. You can reinstall the system from there. If you had Mountain Lion, I would assume that Mountain Lion would be the system you would get reinstalling that way.

Everything's there including your new CS2 non-activation download file and your new non-activation serial number.

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos, documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want to move those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again to another external hard drive 1T. My question is:

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos,documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want tomove those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again toanother external hard drive 1T. My question is: Is it possible? Doing this willnot affect the files that I had in windows? No information is lost? or how cani do it?

Connect the external drive to your Mac and drag the files from it to your Mac's internal drive. Then dismount and disconnect the external drive, connect the 1TB external drive, and drag the files from the internal drive onto the external. Nothing will have been deleted from any of the drives up to this point; the files will only have been copied. Verify that the files are readable. There's no reason they shouldn't be; this is just a precaution.
Now if you wish to delete the files from any of the drives, drag them to the Trash, and Empty the Trash while the drive from which they came is still connected. If you disconnect the drive before emptying the Trash, the files you were trying to remove from it won't be deleted. They'll remain in the Trash and continue to take up space on the drive.
Note that if your external drives are in NTFS format, you won't be able to write anything to them or delete anything from them, though you will be able to read and copy the files they contain. The NTFS disk format is read-only to the Mac OS, unless you have a third-party NTFS driver installed. To make your drives cross-platform readable and writable, you must reformat them in the FAT32 or ExFAT format.

I had to replace my hard drive and can't get my Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 to activate. I have tried both the phone and the website and have both the serial number

I had to replace my hard drive and can't get my Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 to activate. I have tried both the phone and the website and have both the serial numbers. I can't find a number that works to speak to a live person at Adobe. I need to reduce the pixel size TODAY on some photos and need the program. Is there another way to reduce pixels if I can't get my Photoshop running today?
