I have lost my iPhoto app

I have just done a format of my hard drive and reinstall of mountain lion, which went according to plan, but iPhoto has not been down loaded, and now I cant access my photos from my previouse backup, can any tell me where I can get iphoto, with out having to pay for it. Thanks

It depends on where you obtained iPhoto originally.  If it came preinstalled on your Mac use the disks that came with the Mac to reinstall iPhoto.  The disk should look like one of these:
If you purchased iPhoto from the App Store the go to the store, click on Purchases and you can download it again.
In the future post questions about iPhoto on the Mac to the iLife/iPhoto community.  This is the iPhoto for iOS community.

  • I seem to have lost my iPhoto App? How can I reload?

    I have lost my iPhoto app. How can I reload it?
    If I use my app disk that came with the computer... will I lose any data in the process?

    The app and the library are two separate entities.  What version of iPhoto  were you running? Do you have Time Machine?  If so just go back in time in the Applications folder and restore the iPhoto application from the last backup that included it.
    If your Mac Pro came with Snow Leopard or earlier pre installed then use the disks that came with the Mac to do a custom install of iPhoto.  Then update iPhoto to the version you were using.
    If Lion came preinstalled on your Mac go to the App Store, log ing with the Apple ID that was used to purchase your Mac Pro, go to purchases and download iPhoto.

  • I have lost my Safari app and all the bookmarks that go with it. I have tried to download my back-up on external drive but cannot access it. Tried a start with C key held down but still no access to the back-up app.

    I have lost my Safari app and all the bookmarks that go with it. I have tried to download my back-up on external drive but cannot access it. Tried a start with C key held down but still no access to the back up app.
    Have used Superduper app. to back up and checked back-up occasionally to see if all files present  and appeared OK.
    I had previously started machine using original CD #1 to try and replace Eudora which was acting up. Did not knowingly touch Safari.
    Running iMAC System 10.4.11
    How can I successfully download from the Maxtor back-up?

    Further info.
    I checked the content of my other back-up and found the bookmark Bookmarks.plist in the library under Safari
    Dumped the existing copy in the computer and drag-dropped the back up. All bookmarks restored.
    Solved the Stickies problem by using Spotlight  to find file "stickiesdatabase" and did a drag- drop to replace file. All data restored.
    Re Ical data loss. Used Spotlight to find iCal document in  Library - Preferences where I found com.apple.iCal.plist in folder.
    Got ready to make change but did not immediately remove file. When I returned to Preferences folder to grab above document,
    the readable descriptors had been changed to code consisting of some upper case letters and/or single symbols!
    So now I cannot tell which is the symbol  iCal.plist
    Thanks for leading me so far, but how do I find that plist for my calendar?

  • HT203167 I sync my iphone with my computer to put my music onto it. Now i have lost all my apps. How do i find them?

    If you have iCloud backups then you should be OK except for a few odds and ends. See this:
    iCloud backups include nearly all data and settings stored on your device. iCloud backups don't include:
    Data that's already stored in the cloud, like contacts, calendars, notes, My Photo Stream, and iCloud Photo Library
    Data stored in other cloud services, like Gmail and Exchange mail
    Apple Pay information and settings
    Touch ID settings
    Content you didn't get directly from iTunes, App, or iBooks Stores, like imported MP3s, videos, or CDs
    iTunes in the Cloud and App Store content
    If it's still available in the iTunes, App, or iBooks Store, you can tap to re-download your already purchased content.
    Learn how to manage your iCloud storage or delete iCloud backups that you no longer need.
    An iTunes backup includes nearly all of your device's data and settings. An iTunes backup doesn't include:
    Content from the iTunes and App Stores, or PDFs downloaded directly to iBooks
    You can back up this content using Transfer Purchases in iTunes.
    Content synced from iTunes, like imported MP3s or CDs, videos, books, and photos
    Photos already stored in the cloud, like My Photo Stream, and iCloud Photo Library
    Touch ID settings
    Apple Pay information and settings
    Health and Keychain data
    To back up Health and Keychain data, you'll need to use Encrypted Backup in iTunes.

  • We have lost our Iphoto icon on the desk top and can't find it

    We have lost our Iphoto icon and can't find it.  Our photo's are still on the computer but just in individual files.

    The Application should still be in the Aplications folder.
    Just drag its Icon back onto the dock.

  • I have upgraded my iTunes for Windows and I have lost all my apps and music

    I have upgraded my iTunes for Windows and I have lost all my apps and music.
    Although i signed in with my iTunes account, i can see only 5 apps (that i downloaded in the last 2-3 days), although on my iPad and iPhone i have more than 100 apps.
    If i connect my devices to iTunes, the syncronisation will be made the other way, from iTunes to iPhone/iPad, so i will lose everything.
    1. How can i restore these apps from the iCloud back-ups from my devices to my iTunes? Or any other method possible?
    2. If you can also give me a suggestion about how to find my music playlists, that would save me from a lot of useless work on creating them again.
    Thank you!

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    In the unlikely event that all the media has been inexplicably and permanently removed from your computer, see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Ive just updated my iPhone4 to the IOS5 software and i have lost all my apps? why? and how can i get them back?

    Ive just updated my iPhone4 to the IOS5 software and i have lost all my apps? why? and how can i get them back?

    When an iPhone updates, it wipes the whole device clean and then reinstalls the software and then the backup. Obviously you didn't create/couldn't create a backup either via iCloud or iTunes. You can get your apps back when you go to App Store>Updates>Purchased and download the apps you want.

  • I have lost Address book app how do I recover it please. Thank you.

    I have lost Address book app how do I recover it please. Thank you.

    No kids or pets --- just me!I don't think there is too much mystery about the deletion of Address Book on my laptop.  I was trying to get it up-to-date from my desktop computer and as that is Lion and the laptop is sitll Leopard (all these ***** cats!) I must have trashed the laptop Address Book, then tried to install the one from Lion but, of course it couldn't be installed - wrong system!  By then I had lost Address Book!!  Horrors!  I then lifted it from my husband's computer (Panther or something!) et voila!   But I had expected to have all HIS names and address in Address Book when I opened it but -- not so, his were not there and mine were!   Don't ask!!
    Thanks again and regards, Lecia

  • HT201272 I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back?

    Hi All,
    I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back? Any ideas?
    Thanks

    All of  your apps should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync them back.
    If they are not, go into the purchase history and download them again.

    I lost my iphoto app and Im unable to view pictures

    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/
    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 you can find it in your Purchases List.

    Hello
    Lost mind last week. Remembered a post: impossable to delete this app and one should look in all the folders on the home pages.
    Found  it in a news folder. So have a look in all of your folders. Hope you haven't to many
    Best of luck
