I've lost iPhoto

Whilst updating Tiger to 10.4.4 I seem to have lost iPhoto. It's not in my applications folder and spotlight can't find it. Why is this and more importantly how do I get it back?

Hi. Apple do have a strange way of "fixing" this problem. There way is to install Panther back again, this will install all your original apps., THEN select "upgrade" in the installation list. See: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270 as to why. Everyone else uses "Pacifist's" wonder program which lets you "see" the programs on your original install disk(s). See: http://www.charlessoft.com/ — using this program will let you install only the apps. you require. Don't be concerned about using it - it is very easy! (Even for me)! Hope this helps. Best wishes, Robert.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone help?

    After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone please help? I am not an advanced user and I would like my photos back, having had no idea I would lose iPhoto in the upgrade!

    Thanks petermac87...but for some reason, the only purchases showing are OS. So assuming iPhoto is in Mountain Lion, I was hoping to look under Hidden Items there as you suggested, but there is no option for that. Only option is to download Mountain Lion again, not iPhoto specifically. Any ideas welcome!

  • I have lost iPhoto off my iMac OSX 10.7

    Hi, I have lost Iphoto off my iMac OSX Lion 10.7.5, I somehow deleted into trash with some other icons from the doc, now I cant get it back and I cant down load it from the Apps page either, can someone advise me how to replace it please?

    If you deleted the icon from the dock all you need to do is go to your applications folder and double click in iOhoto to launch it. Then right click on the icon in the Dock and "keep in dock"

  • Lost iphoto, cant install again

    I have lost iphoto, it is no where to be found and some kind soul from here advised me to reinstall. I cant. Help, please
    Heres what I tried:
    Installation disk 1- it restarts as it should. Then I get a window that says welcome to Mac 0s x. There are a variety of choices including "read before you install and also install mac os x". I click on that one. Then I go around again with the restart and the exact same list of choices.
    On disk 2 I select the additional application pkg, get an installation window and select the HD as my destination. Then I get the following msg
    “A newer version of “Additional Applications” (version 1.0.0.6.547) already exists on the volume “HD”
    This software does not allow older versions to be installed on top of newer versions
    so I Cancel
    Since I am wondering where the additional applications are I ask the FIND to locate them for me. Apparently there arent any because FInd cant find them.
    I am wondering exactly what my problem is and do I need professional help.
    I tried the disk utility program to verify and repair permissions and got 200 pages of information (example :Permissions differ on ./Applications/Internet Explorer.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Help/Images/Icon_folder.gif, should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are -rwxrwxrwx
    Owner and group corrected on ./Applications/Internet )
    Thanks for any assistance, I like iphoto and want it back

    Thank you silly rabbit but I still have trouble. I did install Pacifist and everything looked fine BUT There is an Iphoto icon in my hd/ applications and it says it’s an application(as opposed to folder,document). When I click on it it looks like it is open just for a couple of seconds i see the rainbow spinner then switches back to finder or the open application.
    I threw it all out (Pacifist) and emptied the trash. I restarted and installed it again. Then I installed IPhoto again. Looks good, its in the applications and clicking on it brings it up to appear to be an open application. I see edit (rotate, arrange photos, set title, etc.)
    I connect camera Iphoto opens, looks good
    tell it to import photos and it quits there was a msg but I didnt get it
    I undid the camera and shut down and restarted.Iphoto flashes in the finder then nothing
    iphoto is in application folder--i checked -but when I click on it it just flashes again and goes right back to finder
    Now I install Panther (10.3.9) figuring it will install IPhoto since nothing else did. Here"s what happened:
    click on iphoto and it asks if I want iphoto to open when I attach the camera YES
    attach camera------nothing detach
    attach camera iphoto opens
    click on import
    iphoto unexpectedly quits detach camera
    attachc camera iphoto opens
    click on import
    iphoto unexpectedly quits detach camera
    Can someoone give me some idea of what I should do??

  • In upgrading my OS X to 10.6, I lost iPhoto.  How do I regain capability?

    In upgrading my OS X from 10.4 to 10.6, I lost iPhoto.  How can I regain iPhoto capability so I can access to my iPoto Library in the backup disk and downlaod from my camera?
    Thank you!
    <Edited by Host>

    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/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/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.

  • OS X Lion Version 10.7.5 and after new hard drive I have lost iPhoto, iMovie, etc.

    I have the OS X Lion version 10.7.5 and after a new hard drive I have lost iPhoto, iMovie, Garage Band etc. I have tried the re-install of the OS X Lion and checking the app store under 'purchases' but none of these options were successful.
    When I click on iPhoto in the App Store, it says that it cannot update because version 10.9 is required (I tried to transfer iPhoto from my brothers computer but he has a newer laptop which means I cant open it whcih is why it says 'update' but have deleted it now). When I go to iMovie on the App Store, it says I need to pay but the only reason I dont want to do that is that it origionally came on the computer and after paying Apple to install a new hard drive I dont want to have to pay for all the apps that origionally come on it.
    Can someone please help

    Then you will need the Original System Reinstall DVD discs that came with the system to reinstall the iLife suite of apps then you can update them from the Mac app store or through Software Update.
    Those discs came in the box the computer came in. Hopefully you still have the box and those discs.

  • Screensaver configuration problem with lost iPhoto library

    Hi,  I justed switched my macbook and I used to have another iPhoto library in an external HD that is now gone. I cannot configure the screensaver, I think it searches for my lost iPhoto library and cannot select my current pictures. Can someone help me with this problem? Thanks.

    If the rebuild doesn't help try Fix 101:  make a temporary, backup copy of the library if you don't already have a backup copy and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Lost iphoto

    I had the HD changed in my ibook G3 and lost iphoto that was on it. I cant figure out where or how to put it back on the computer. Is it on the original disk that came with the machine. I sure dont want to screw things up, it took me a year to get the HD fixed.
    Should I download it from somewhere on apple or oldapps.com
    Thanks in advance for advice

    Yes - it is on the original restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install - bundled software only - for more details click here for the MacWorld write up.

  • Lost iphoto after reinstall, dont have ilife and cant find in appstore?

    I did a complete reinstall and clear on my macbook pro, I lost iphoto and garageband all those things that come with ilife. It did intiially come for free with my laptop, I read that if I go into the app store and just accept thse things I can get it back. Not true for me, I go in, log in, and they say accept but dont download or install. What are my options? I basically just want my iphoto back..

    Well, mymacbook pro didnt come with any restore disks. its just got that , osx reinstall that you get from the net when you restart the computer holding down i think it was command r. the original source for me, was when i bought it, it just came with it.
    Thanks for the suggestion though.

  • Yosemite upgrade lost iphoto access.

    Yosemite upgrade lost  iphoto access.  Cloud says I cant import "library: because  I need 43 more GB  ?  I  had no  problem with iphoto in old version. Now I cant  even see photos to edit or delete.

    Ive lost the iphoto icon , so  dont knnow how to access  all my photos stored there.  and yes, I would like to see what's on that "Photo" icon, but  it delivers  no photos.All I can get is a welcome page, + "get started"--which leads me to the message that they  cant import my library due to not enough GB...

  • I lost iphoto in my macbook

    hello
    i lost iphoto application and all the data on my macbook
    with serial no.W8******4R1
    <Edited By Host>

    If you purchased the machine new and it had OS X 10.7 or 10.8 on it, then you will have to talk to Apple because basically it's another machine as you likely had your logicboard switched, thus it has a different serial number and all AppStore software is copy protected and tied to your AppleID.
    If your machine originally came with 10.4, 10.5, or 10.6, then you can try to see if those installers will work as the iLife is on the disks, or you can use Pacifist from Charlesoft to extract the apps and put them on your machine, then Software Update so the versions are current.
