I have no iPhoto on my computer?

I have a mac air and i am currently updated with all updates and i can not find iphoto anywhere on my computer

reinstall from the original source - most likely #3 for you
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 got my hardrive replaced a few months ago when it crashed. I don't have iPhoto on my computer anymore, is there a way to get it back at all or do I have to buy it?

    You must use the same Apple ID used for the original iPhoto purhcase.
    Open the App Store then select Purchases from the menu top of that window.
    Click Download to the right of iPhoto.

  • I just installed Photoshop and want to use it as the external editor.  I also have PS Elements on the computer and the only external editor I can get iPhoto to recognize is PSE.  Any help in changing the external editor to PS would be appreciated!

    Welcome. I am using Photoshop CS5 and this works fine for me. Possibly Adobe has changed this in CS6. Hopefully, LarryHN will have further suggestions. Best.

  • I have many photos on my computer.  I have backed up the computer to an external harddrive.  When I go into the external harddrive, how do I find the many albums I have stored/created in my iphoto library?

    You can't view your photos in the iPhoto library in Time Machine vis the Finder.  You must enter Time Machine, go back in time to the library you want to restore and restore it?
    One can only restore an entire library from TM:

  • I have OS X 10.6.8 and I want to buy iphoto for my computer.

    I have OS X 10.6.8 and I want to buy iphoto for my computer. I tried to but it said that it was not compatible. What should I do?

    The most advanced iPhoto for your 10.6.8 would be iPhoto version 11 (9.2.3).   The following thread refers.

    And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
    I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
    The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
    And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

  • Updating my iPhoto I have lost everything because my computer is all of a year old

    I was asked to update my iPhoto by Cloud, so I did, just to find out that my computer is too old for this update, so now I don't have any iPhoto and more importantly no photos.  My mac book air is less than a year old, and is a Lion.  I am feeling sick.  How can I get my old iPhoto back

    I know the suggestion of update was not by OS, it was needed by Cloud so that I could transfer information between devices, at least that is what I thought.  Anyway, since then I went into my apple preferences and it had updates available, so when I did that I see that my iPhoto responds to me.  And when I say that I mean it is on the stop sign icon at the bottom of the screen, but which still has a stop sign sort of thing instead of the iPhoto sign.  Now when I press on  see this message, I am a bit nervous about how I interpret messages, so what do I do with this.
    Do I accept this.  I have backed up my computer. 

  • Had iPhoto before getting computer fixed, now I don't have it...

    I had iPhoto before I took my computer to Best Buy to get worked on. After getting worked on the Geek Squad told me that I had to use the disks that I originally used to download everything onto my computer in order to get all my programs back onto my computer. However, I didn't have access to those disks so the Geek Squad said they would take care of it. Now I don't have iPhoto on my computer and I don't know how to download it back on. Help?!?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Look at the system install disks that came with your computer. The iLife applications will be on one of them.

  • IPhoto help again. I no longer have an iPhoto icon on my dock, in Apps, in Purchases, or iCloud. It was installed when I bought the computer. I don't have a disc. Any suggestions

    I accidentally erased iPhoto I guess when I synced my iphone to my iMac??? Out of the blue, I no longer have an iPhoto app on my dock, in my Apps, or in Purchases. iPhoto was installed prior to purchase and there is no disc that I can find to download from. The only thing I see is the ability to PURCHASE new iPhoto app. Can youHELP me restore iPhoto?

    Do a Spotlight look for iPhoto, if you cannot locate it then look in the Trash and if its still gone use Time Machine to restore it.

  • I have 2 iphoto libraries. How can I delete one? I have tried to put one in trash but it deletes both. Help

    I was transfering photos from an external hard disk. While doing this somehow or another I created another library. I have an additional icon on my desktop. I tried to put it in the trash but then it deletes iphoto from the computer. I just would like to get rid of the icon without deleting iphoto.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you've copied your iPhoto library to an external disk, it's normal that it appears. Anyway, open iPhoto holding Option key and look at the library you want to delete. At the bottom of the window, you must see the directory where it's, so just go here and delete your library

  • I HAVE SEVERAL IPHOTO LIBRARIES

    Hi,
    I am not sure how i accomplished this but I have several iphoto libraries on my computer. On my desktop i have iphoto library and iphoto library 1 then in my pictures folder i have iphoto library 10.10.06. I believe the last is a rebuilt library that I created after losing my pictures. How can I condense/delete some of this without jeopardizing my pictures? Also, how can I safely store my older pictures (ie: 2002,2003, 2004 folders) on to an external harddrive? Or in the alternative how can i burn these folders on to a disk and delete them from my harddrive to free up space? Thanks in advance for your help.

    There are three ways to get multiple libraries.
    1. Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. It will ask you if you want to create a new library
    2. Move the iPhoto Library Folder out of the Pictures folder. iPhoto will create a new one
    3. Use a Shareware called iPhoto Library Manager.
    So, which ever one of these you've been doing... that accounts for it.
    To merge the various libraries into one, download iPhoto Library Manager from http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/iphotolibrarymanager.html. It's a $20 shareware. It's the only way of moving pics from Library to Library while preserving metadata.

  • I have multiple iPhoto libraries w/ duplicates in several. How can I consolidate and find the dupes? Some photos are versions of the original.

    I have multiple iPhoto libraries w/ duplicates in several. How can I consolidate and find the dupes? Some photos are versions of the original. On my iMac, I also have many folders containing some of the same photos. My computer is used for both personal and business purposes. My libraries should be separated, one for each.

    To merge libraries use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  or Aperature
    To find duplicates within an iPhoto library use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - 
    Photos that are not in an iPhoto library can be imported telling iPhoto not to import duplicates (an imperfect procews) and then IPLM can find the duplicates
    As to keeping seperate libraries - only you can do that - IPLM can move photos between libraries for you but only you can know which photos should be in which library

  • I accidently somehow erased iphoto from my computer!! i really need help on how to get it back without having to buy it! please help me !

    I somehow erased iphoto from my computer when i was clearing out all unwanted pictures fromt he all images folder , i have no idea what i did, my computer went from 83 g left to 103gs now so i'm panicking !!
    please help me i have no idea on what to do!

    Did you erase iPhoto (an application in your applications folder), the iPhoto library (a database file in yoru pictures folder) or images inside of the iPhoto library which will cause iPhoto to not operate correctly?
    If you deleted images inside of the iPhoto library using the all images display (it is not a folder but a display of all image photos on yoru computer) and have emptied the trash then your optiopns are very simple - restore from your backup prior to deleting the images, purcshase file recovery software like file savage for one - http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id= 1 - have a file recovery company recover your files or go forward without them.

  • IPhoto Transfer from Computer to Computer

    my boss wants me to put the entire iPhoto library I have been organizing onto his computer. Do I copy and paste? Use iPhoto Library Manager(the paid version)? or Migration Assist? He wants all albums and keywords and faces and etc. to stay in tact as well. any help or reassurance that one of these three will copy over and not replace his existing iPhoto library. Thanks so much

    None of the above.
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
