I want iPhoto back!

After I upgraded to Mavericks I lost iPhoto....
I tried again today to install it from the initial disk ( I have a late 2009 macbook) and then crack.... I have to uninstalled all the system and do everything again!!!!  
I don't know If it is possible to install my old applications from the CD with this new OS system.
HELP
thanks

Sorry, but Google Chrome is not included as part of the Apple distribution software, so I don't know what installer you are using. I can't really be much help if you cannot provide complete descriptions of what you are doing and from where and what discs you are using.
I may be wrong, but it almost seems that you don't really know what you are doing and have now messed up your OS X installation of Mavericks.

  • I delete iphoto incident . how can i get iPhoto back?

    i want iphoto back
    how can i get this ?

    How did you delete it? (not a silly question)
    If all you've done is removed the icon from the Dock, go to the Applications folder, find iPhoto and drag it's icon to the Dock, being careful not to release the mouse until the other icons in there move out of the way for it. (if you release too early, you'll leave the application on the Desktop and will have to drag it back to Applications and try again.)
    The icons in the Dock are only aliases, so can be replaced easily.
    If on the other hand you've somehow deleted it from the Applications folder, there are two possibilities -
    If the trash hasn't been emptied, open it, right click on the iPhoto item and select 'Put Back'.
    If the trash has been emptied, you'll need to reinstall it from the software restore disc (disc 2 of the grey discs that came with the Mac), or from the iLife DVD if that's where you installed it from, or if on Lion, I believe you'll need to go the App Store and re-download it (but someone may correct me on that).

  • My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6.  I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto.  However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup. ??

    My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6.  I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto.  However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup.  It lists my phone in the "devices" category on the left bar, but no longer shows any of my photos.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I've reread your question several times and am not sure I understand it.
    Are you trying to basically start over, as if you just took your iPhone out of the box?  If so, do:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings

  • I accidentally deleted my iPhoto when i empty my trash? i think 1year ago.i want it back but i heard that its difficult...my 2nd option is i'll buy iPhoto from apps. what do you think guys? thank you and god bless!

    i accendentaly deleted my iphoto when i empty my trash. i think 1 year ago. i want it back but they say its difficult. now i think i'll buy iphoto to apps. what do you think guys??? ty and god bless!

    A bunch of totally different questions
    iPhoto is an application and it is in your applications folder - is it there? It must be in teh Applications folder on your boot drive - it can not be on an external drive
    The photos are kept in the iPhoto library (by default and highly recommended) - is that what you deleted? It can be anyplace by by default it is in your pictrues folder
    Time Machine is a backup program that backuse your your Mac - you do NOT directly access its backup files but you use the Time Machine application to restore files - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US for details
    Your post is not at all clear as to what you have or what you want to do
    If in fact you do have a copy of the photos on an external hard drive as you say you thikyou do them you launch iPhoto and import them to iPhoto (file menu import  --  or drag them to the iPhoto icon in the Dock)
    If you have a time machine backup of your iPhoto library and you want to use that then you launch TM and go to the time you wna tto restore from, select the iPhoto library and click restore
    If the above does not cover what you have and what you want please post back with exact details of what you have and what you want to do

  • I backed up my iPhoto library to my EHD then deleted some photo in iPhoto on my iMac to make more HD space. I want to back up iPhoto again to my EHD again but do not want it to overwrite the whole library. How can I make sure it backs up the new photos

    Ok so how can i just back up the newer photos to my iPhoto library on my EHD? If it overwrites the backed up library it will delete the older photos that I backed up and then deleted from my iMac HD.

    Do you want to back up only your photos and not your current library? Then you will not get a backup of your albums, books, calendars, ..
    A lot ofyour organizational work will not be backed up, if you only save the newer photos.
    To find the new photos create a smart album:
    From Photo's main menu bar:  File > New > Smart album
    and add a rule: Date is after ....  ; enter the date of your last backup.
    Then export the photos from this album to a folder on your backup drive.
    File > Export > Original
    But it would be much better simply to copy the iPhoto library to the external drive, after renaming the older library, so that it will not be overwritten.
    Regards

    You might consider to let TimeMachine do the work and keep track of changed versions.
    Use Time Machine to backup the library regularly, so you always can restore a current version aand can find older photos that have been deleted, and make occisiona snapshots of the whole library on a second backup drive.

  • I want to back up my 4S but I don't get the correct screen when I plug it into my Mac - Just iPhotos and iTunes (songs) pop up. How do I get to the screen where I can back up and restore?

    Hi Spookola,
    I don't know how that could have happened. Go through the folders for the rolls and separate the 2005 rolls from the 2006 rolls, then import the 2006 rolls.

    iPhoto, prompt kept coming up asking if I was sure I wanted to delete photos.  I unchecked the prompt and I want it back.  How do I get it back?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7or later : Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (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.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • When I launch I photo it wants me to choose a library but it doesn't find one which is impossible, because i still have no storage. before i can clean up i want to back up them. how can i find my library?

    When I launch I photo it wants me to choose a library but it doesn't find one which is impossible, because i still have no storage. before i can clean up i want to back up them. how can i find my library?

    You may very well have damaged your library - or even your system by not having adaquate storage available
    And never select all of the pitcture and move them - that will destroy your library - the iPhotolibrary is a SQLite database and must always be kept intact as a single entity -
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • How do i get Iphoto back?

    I deleted Iphoto and now i have no idea how to get it back.
         I recently changed apple ids and deleted my old one which i first used on my macbook pro about 3 months ago. Now i have i have accidently deleted iphoto and whenever i go to the app store to reinstall it i get an accept button instead of a buy/purchase button and then this error message once i click on the accept button:
         "These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the applications."
    So i dont have the apple ID they were first assigned too and i dont want to purchase this application. So i was wondering if there is any way to reinstall it or recover it because my macbook pro came with iphoto already installed.

    iPhoto is part of iLife, not OS X. You'll need to either reinstall iLife from your original disks (not sure what version you have or if it will even work with Leopard) or get iLife '08 (probably the most straightforward way to get iPhoto back.)

  • IPhoto backing up archiving and transfering

    I'm trying to find a method to backup my photos. I have burned about 30 CDs full of pictures but I don't have much time to get this done so I bought a flash drive to try to get more pictues on. I was also convinced that CDs are problematic for really long-term storage.
    The only way I could get them on the flash drive was to export, create a folder, and then complete the transfer...took a while. I did it with the 10 events left in iPhoto after my mad CD burns but hope there is an easier way than exporting. If I stick a CD in can I essentially copy/paste? With my PC I could cut/paste or copy/paste but don't seem to be able to cut/paste with my Mac; it only copies. I don't use a mouse, just the pad, if that makes a difference. Please be explicit and simple, I'm fairly new to my Mac.

    Yes you are a little confused, aren't you
    I did some searching in iPhoto Help and found out where the Pictures folder is located. I did not know that I have a "home folder". I thought I had a "Place"
    You're getting the word 'Place' from the SIdebar in the Finder Window. That's a shortcut to the actual location, not the location itself.
    I have now seen several references in iPhoto Help that one can have more than one "Library". I haven't found an explanation on why one would need more than one Library.
    Well if you can't think of a reason why you would want more than one, you obviously don't need one. That's an option for folks who do see such a need.
    The iPhoto Help instructions for "Moving your iPhoto Library folder to a new location" implies that one moves the Library folder out of the Pictures folder.
    Implies? I would have thought there was nothing "implied" at all. If you look up moving then it tells you how to move.
    Therefore, by moving it to an external drive, is it no longer on computer?
    Again, that's what "moving" means.
    I just want to save a copy of the iPhoto Library - not remove it from my computer.
    So you don't want to move your Library, you want to *back it up*. right?
    So, if you drag your iPhoto Library to the External it will make a copy of the Library on the External and leave the original Library in your Pictures Folder.
    It will do this because whenever you try and move something from one disk to another the Operating System copies the material to the new disk - a protection against dataloss.

  • Importing iPhoto Back Up from DVD - Duplicate Event Issue

    i'm trying to transfer the iphoto back ups (created in iPhoto) from DVD to my external hard drive. with the disc in, i create a new iphoto library, name it and import the "iPhoto Library" file from the DVD on to my laptop's hard drive. When i do so, it imports over 3,000 photos, whereas it should only be 2,623. when the import is done, i have duplicate events; it looks as though the events are the original and modified versions.
    i don't want to have to reorganize my photos after importing them back in (there are 11 ). am i missing something?

    doesn't keep the name, but dragging them one by one keeps them separate. guess that's not too bad; at least not as tedious as having to weed through all the photos.
    is there some kind of automator i can use?
    why don't the events transfer over? this particular back up is Jan. 2009 thru Jun. 2009. I bought iLife '09 in April. could it be because half the photos were organized with a previous version of iPhoto?
    Thanks for your help btw. i really appreciate it.

  • How do I get iphoto back after Yosemite 10.10.3

    I have just added the Yosemite 10.10.3 security update to my macbook pro and found that iPhoto has been replaced by a piece of software called Photos.
    The replacement application was not wanted and has been forced onto my machine without asking.
    Question is.... How do I get my original iPhoto back and the photographs without resorting to a full restore?
    Any ideas..... please.....
    Andy

    Yes as you already now know iPhoto can still be found in applications,,, HOWEVER, be warned that apple just informed me yesterday that it will eventually disappear  and you will need to have all of your iPhoto albums transferred from iPhoto to new Photos pgm just to be prepared for eventual shelving of iPhoto,
    I found this out because immediately after updating to os x 10.10.3 and as well after updating to the new photos pgm, my iMac all of a sudden no longer shows my camera under Devices in the Finder, and worst of all would NO longer recognize .jpg downloads from my camera (specifically Canon Powershot G6), I have spent 2-3 hours per day for last 2 days on phone with apple techs and they made me do a sh L t load of tests, and file caches adjustments etc… etc…, including a recovery re-install of these recent updates, but it still does not work, they have decided that the issue is definately not a problem with my camera as I was able to download the pics to an old laptop successfully, and then transfer them to a thumb drive and then was able to successfully transfer the .jpg's to my iMac using the thumb drive,(a long and painful process), plus all jpg's that were already in my iMac are still recognized and usable, it's when i try to download jpg pictures from a camera to either of the following pgm's; "image capture", "iPhoto", and even new "Photos" pgm, computer does not recognize .jpg's and gives error (-9937).
    they said that problem is with one of 3 issues;
    1) new OS X 10.10.3
    2) Application specific ("Image capture", "iPhoto" or "Photos") - not likely that all 3 now have issues at same time.
    3) Compatibility issue (specifically that the new OS system is no longer compatible with my specific camera)
    They refused to pick one, and the specific tech dept. "photos team, image capture team" would not speak with me and simply told this tech guy to tell me to do a recovery re-install of these new updates and OS, which did not work.
    BTW, this tech guy i am talking with is a senior tech who claims he does not know everything about image capture issues. he is supposed to call me back today (Day 3) (LOL are we having Fun yet??? LOLL) to find out if re-install worked,,, IT DID NOT!
    MOST IMPORTANT PART OF STORY;;; I have found online that jpg downloads not being recognized occurring immediately after an OS update/upgrade go back as far as 2009/2010. on a hit and miss occurrence.
    I am going to take a guess and say that there is a bug in new OS or somehow the proper Drivers incl. in update for my camera have a bug. Canon web site says drivers are not available on their site for OS X 10.10.3 and are included in iMac OS software. Also Canon's Image browser software is no longer available for OS X 10.8 or higher.
    They said senior tech who is calling me back today says if recovery re-install of updates do not work(it did not) he would take some pertinent info from my computer or on their end, (he was vague about that) and report it to appropriate dept. to see if they can get back to me shortly with a fix, (not holding my breath), or a future Bug fix/OS Update which he said could take 3-6 months.
    They also recommend that I buy a memory card reader and every time I wish to transfer pictures from my camera to my computer, that i should remove the compact flash card from camera and put into memory card reader and transfer it to my iMac that way (for me thats 2-4 times per day, as I sell on eBay, Kijiji and Craig's List.), No more simply plugging my camera into my iMac using USB.

  • I HATE PHOTO, CAN I GET iPHOTO BACK?

    The last time my OS software was update (4/8/15) it also installed Photo and erased my iPhoto.
    I have honestly tried to make Photo work to my advantage, but I absolutely hate, hate, hate it.
    Is there anyway I can get my old iPhoto back in operation.  iPhoto is in my applications FINDER folder.
    However, when I try to launch it I get a pop up menu asking which library I want to use.  Only one is
    listed and that is photo library.  I select it and nothing happens.  This new Photo simply *****.
    I am using a Mid 2007 iMAC with OSX Yosemitee 10.10.3 installed

    Do you have a backup copy of your iPhoto library that was made before the last system upgrade?  If so restore it to the Pictures folder and open it with iPhoto 9.6.1 (that is the iPhoto version you have, right?).
