ILife '09 Install Just iPhoto

Is there a way to install just iPhoto '09 from the iLife '09 Install Disk. If so, how? I would like to install it on an external HD partition that has Leopard on it.

Look in your pictures folder. There you will find the iPhoto Libary. Simply copy this library to the new computer's pictures folder.
If you have already run iPhoto on the new computer you might need to delete the iPhoto Library that is there. (Assuming that there is nothing in that library that you want to keep!!!!)
When you open iPhoto on the new machine it will convert your old library to the new format.
If you have stuff in the existing Leopard library you want to keep, things get a bit more complicated.

Partial iLife 08 install(iDVD), iPhoto 6.06 crashes

I wanted to use iDVD 08 but not ready to install iPhoto 08 and other '08 apps.
iDVD runs fine, but iPhoto 06 crashes about 15 sec after opening, even a new library.
Seems to work OK for that 15 sec, then crashes.... Thread 6

Have you recently trashed GarageBand? If so, re-install it. Just the bare app, no need for all the loops.
IF you haven't recently trashed it, then open GarageBand and save anything.
Then try iPhoto again.

Can I install only iPhoto 7 and continue to use my other iLife '06 apps?

My mac Mini does not meet all of the system requirements for iLife '08. Can I install only iPhoto 7 and still use my old iLife apps like iMovie?

Here's a link to the iPhoto support page http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/. At the bottom left you'll find the system requirements for IP 6. It looks like you're within range as far as the OS requirement and computer model. IP 6 should just upgrade your older version. If you want to install just iPhoto, there should be a "Custom Install" option in a drop-down menu. Choose that (instead of the default "Easy Install") and select what you want to install.

ILife '11 installed and now iPhoto won't open, "damaged or incomplete".

I was unable to use iDVD after having Mountain Lion installed. I had an iLife '11 disk and I installed it. I didn't see any changes in the application folder so I used the iLife '11 disk again, found the iDVD application and selectively installed it. Now I have and iPhoto icon with a white circle crossed out and when I try to open iPhoto, I get the message, "You can’t open the application “iPhoto.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete."
I don't know what version of iPhoto I have because there are just two dashes after the "version" when I Right Click and select "Get info" on the iPhoto.app line in Finder.
I have been reading support blogs for hours last night and this morning. I am afraid to try any of the fixes because I have already caused problems for myself and my problem doesn't seem to exactly match anyone elses problem, but seems to be a mixture of more than one problem.
I have a backup harddisk that was set to the time machine before I had my computer repaired. It only backs up to Dec 2, 2013. I have not hooked it up again yet out of fear that it will start backing up and mixing old with new. I had Lion before the repair (new video disk) and when I received the computer, Mountain Lion was installed. This was last week. I specifically asked that Mavericks not be installed because I was reading so much unhappiness with it.
So - any help extremely appreciated. I am frozen.

You need to reinstall. There is no choice.
Note the instructions below for reinstalling from Disk:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
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 or later 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.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
I specifically asked that Mavericks not be installed because I was reading so much unhappiness with it.
There is much unhappiness with every version of every Os and App everr released - roll back to the release of Mountain Lion and you'll see exactly the same type of commentary. In the main, much of this commentary is useless.
The problems are manifold: for a start, happy people are less likely to review, unhappy people are much more inclined to. That's why we don't have thousands and thousands of posts on this forum from all the people who have no problems saying "look I have no problems". Unhappy people get cross and are more likely to express that anger in negative reviews.
Then what about the reviewer? What is his or her knowledge, experience and skill level? No doubt they are having problems, and real ones, but how do you know if their issues are problems with the app, their own inexperience, third party conflicts and so on. I've seen people on here claim the fact that iPhoto won't edit video is a bug. I've seen hundreds and hundreds of posts from folks on here who are certain they've found a bug, only for their glitch to be resolved. No review is worth anything unless you know something of the reviewer, his or her knowledge and experience.
So frankly, I never bother with those reviews on any such stores, not just iPhoto on the Mac App Store.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X doesn't come with iLife applications, so you have to install them manually after installing Mac OS X.
Insert the Applications disc or Mac OS X Install Disc 2 DVD and install iLfe applications. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest update. If you want, you can purchase iMovie, GarageBand and iPhoto in the App Store, so you will get the most recent version

Well you have a back up, right? Why not just roll back to before you installed?
That's the simple and fast solution.
Other than that, reinstall iPhoto.
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.

Iphoto not upgraded with ilife '08 install

Hi
I just installed ilife '08 and expected that my iphoto (version 5.0.4) would automatically be updated and so I didn't select a custom installation. Anyway when I open iphoto it's still the old version and on selecting software updates I'm offered the chance to go the apple page and buy ilife '08! I did try a custom application of iphoto but the selection was greyed out and I couldn't select it. Anyone got any ideas for getting out this loop?
Regards,
Ian.

Hi Terence
Thanks for the reply. My iphoto version 5 is still in the apps folder and an icon in my dock. I tried what you suggested and trashed some iphoto packages in library receipts and when I tried a re-installation from the ilife 08 CD, it only installed garageband and something called "ilife sound effects" and then quit telling me the software was successfully installed. This could have been happening the last time I tried to install, but I hadn't been looking at the screen too closely while it installed. Again, I didn't select the custom install, just the standard install.
Ian.

I needed idvd, but since my iMac is newer, I didn't have idvd on it. I installed iLife 11. I should not have installed the iPhoto part because it was 9.1 and my iMac was 9.2. So now my iPhoto wouldn't work. I went to iPhoto Library organizer.

I needed iDvd, but since my iMac is newer, I didn't have iDvd on it. I installed iLife 11. I shouldn't have installed the iPhoto part because now my iPhoto wouldn't work since iLife 11 was 9.1 and my iMac had 9.2. So I used iPhoto Library Manager to create a new library. That was working, but my computer ran out of hard drive room since my original iPhoto had 137 GB of photos. My new iPhoto library had the majority of my pics and the iPhoto now worked with those pics. But now I still had all of those original pics in my hard drive. I thought that by getting rid of the original iPhoto on the iPhoto Library Manager I would get rid of all of those original pics. I now have no access to them but they are in my hard drive and I can't do much with my iMac because it is all clogged up with those original pics - I think. How do I get rid of my original iPhoto pics out of my hard drive?

What system are you running? If it's Mt. Lion go to the App Store and sign in with the Apple ID you used to purchase the Mac. Go to Purchases and download iPhoto again. The current version is 9.4.3.
If you're unable to download iPhoto from the App Store you can reomstall iPhoto from the iLife 11 disk and update it from the Apple Downloads website to the highest version you can get to (I was able to update all the way to 9.4.3 via the updaters). Then if iPhoto can't open the library use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild it and it will rebuild it compatible with your version of iPhoto via this iPLM tutorial: Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager Help - Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto

I just installed Yosemite. iPhoto is gone, and Photos does not open. Instead, I am prompted to update to the latest version. The App Store tells me that is not available in the US. What do I do? Cannot access any photos.

Bill

Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

Can I install Leopard and iLife 09, but keep iPhoto 05

Hi,
I've tried looking for this answer and have come up empty. Can anyone tell me if I could upgrade my system to Leopard and iLife 09, but keep certain iLife 05 programs like iPhoto 05 and iMovie HD? The new box set is a good deal, but the new versions of those two programs sound worse than the old ones. iPhoto 09 seem to be a space hog with multiple copies of every picture, and iMovie 09 won't even run on my processor speed. I was also worried that iLife 09 programs might be too powerful for my older Mac and hang it up, but iLife 05 would be unsupported on Leopard and also get hung up. Anyone have any thoughts on this subject?
Thanks,
Ed

iPhoto 09 seem to be a space hog with multiple copies of every picture
iPhoto '09 keeps no copies - it will, just like iPhoto 5, have either two or three versions of a photo - the original, a thumbnail and if required a modified version
For this you get non destructive editing and always have the ability to revert to the original (the digital negative)
iPhoto '09 does take a lot of CPU resource - I have a 2.1 GHz G5 and it does bog down from time to time (the 8.0.3 upgrade made this much worse - I'm hoping that 8.0.4 or what ever improves the CPU needs)
And the feature set of iPhoto '09 is amazing compared to iPhoto 5 -- unless you have a memory shortage, or a disk shortage I would expect your 1.8 GHz G5 to handle iPhoto '09 acceptably - I've seen no one say it is worse that iPhoto 5 or 6 - an very, very, very few people have gone back to '08 (the report - I suspect that they stick with '09 for the most part since it does so much more)
Just the new format books with laminated photo covers and photo dust covers are reason enough to upgrade for me (and lots of others) - samples of the new book layouts can be seen at Liz Castro's web site - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/

After reinstall my lion. I can't install the iPhoto.

it's the new model of macbook air. include the ilife in the app store for free. last week after i reinstall the lion. i go to the mac app store to download the iphoto. after i click the accept and log in my apple id. it told me that "thest apps were already assigned to my apple id,i can find them in the purchases list",but i can't find them in my purchases list. till now i can't install the iphoto app.

Dear user, i've seen you have solved this problem for many users. But this didn't work for me :-(
Here's what happened:
I bought a Macbook Pro last year with Lion and iLife apps preinstalled.
Yesterday, for the first time, i made a clean install of Lion using my recovery partition. Everything worked out great. I installed the apps all over again.
However I can not find the iLife apps on the Mac now. They are not installed, and when i access the Mac App Store, i can't find them anywhere. I googled what could be happening but couldn't find anything that matched my problem, because:
- They are not listed under Purchases.
- I can unhide some apps, but not all apps that i have bought are being listed. For instance, i had bought Civilization 4, which i also did not see on the Purchases list. However, i could re-install it and it then said that i had already bought this, so its free. Only some apps are being listed under Purchases, it seems random.
When i search for iMovie and the others in the App Store, i can only click on the Accept button and then it says that these apps have already been accepted and assigned to my account. All seems to be ok, just that the apps do not show up anywhere on my Mac.
Do you have any solution for this? Would me sooooo appreciated!!
Thanks for your time.

Won't upgrade iphoto library after install of iphoto 6!

I keep getting an error message that says "library can't upgrade because current user doesn't have access" .
This happens after I installed iphoto 6, everything seems to have gone fine, but then after waiting 10 mins from my previous library to update, I get that message. (my friend burned me the ilife 6 dmg. file which is what I used to upgrade from previous iphoto)
My question is, can I just delete any existing iPhotos and just start from scratch and install iPhoto 6 all over again? In other words, instead of trying to use my friends burned dmg. file. can I just erase everything and start from scratch by purchasing the iLife 6 Install DVD??
I won't lose all of my pictures right? I've backed them up via an external harddrive and they are also in my pictures folder as well.
I just want to know if I can erase iphoto (by placing in trashing can) and starting fresh with the iphoto 6 install DVD.
any help would be great.....right now I'm stuck in limbo, and can't order new prints or anything

eeshell
(my friend burned me the ilife 6 dmg. file which is what I used to upgrade from previous iphoto)
This is an infringement of the licence for iPhoto.
can I just erase everything and start from scratch by purchasing the iLife 6 Install DVD??
Yes, but also delete the pkg files with iphoto in the name in HD/Library/receipts
I won't lose all of my pictures right? I've backed them up via an external harddrive and they are also in my pictures folder as well.
This is correct.

Unable to COMPLETE install of iPhoto 09 on Power PC G4 - specs OK

I have a very old PowerPc G4 (512RAM), 1,25Ghz, OS X 10.5.8 which my kids use for their photos.
I am unable to complete the install of iPhoto 09 from the iLife 09 update disc I purchased in the late 2000's.
The disc works perfectly and I get as far as slecting the drive on which I want to install iPhoto. I hit the install button and the beachball appears for 5 seconds or so, then diappears and the install stops. I can hit install again and the process repeats itself but it is not updating the program.
The reason for doing this is to transfer a my iPhoto 09 library over to this machine instead of re-importing the photos and having to recreate the albums / events.
iLife 08 is installed and working.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try using Pacifist to install iPhoto and it's supporting files from the iLife 09 disk. I would move your current iPhoto application to the Desktop until you know the install was successful and it operates as expected.

Leopard Upgrade, ILife 09 Install On A PowerPC G4

Hi.
I have a PowerPC G4 1.25 GHz Mac Mini. with 1 GB DDR SDRAM. The internal HD is 40 GB with only 9.5 GB still free. It is up to date, running 10.4.11 currently.
I bought the Mac Box Set (Leopard, iLife 09 and iWork 09). What I am thinking of doing is to do a clean install by erasing and installing Leopard. (This Mac Mini originally came with panther and was upgraded to Tiger. Seemed like a good idea to clear the cruft with an erase and install.)
The specs and user comments suggests that this should work fine. Is there anything I need to know or do before I do the erase and install?
Everything is backed up, so that is taken care of.
After installing Leopard, I would like to install the iLife 09. Will this be okay? Will the iLife 09 install on a PowerPC mac? Looking at the specs, iMovie 09 and Garageband 09 seem to require an intel processor. Does this mean that these two apps will not install on my powerPC Mac Mini from the iLife dvd? Or, will they install but be sort of stripped down, perhaps missing some of their features.
What problems, if any, do you foresee in this? Is there anything that I need to know before starting? Any advice, including a walk through description would be really, really appreciated. Thanks so much.

Oh... but look at the prices for internal Hard Drives! Hmm... could replace the 40 Gig internal with a new, larger one. Wonder if that would that be worth it. What do you think? Is there anything to be aware of in replacing the internal Hard Drive?
Assuming you plan on keeping the "old" Mini around for a while, a new hard drive is not a bad idea. Not only will you get a lot more space for files, you will probably see a noticeable improvement in responsiveness, especially if you get a 7200 rpm model. This is because a newer drive will almost certainly have inherently better performance characteristics than the original (lower average seek time, a larger cache & improved caching algorithms, etc.) and because the same amount of file data can be concentrated into a smaller physical area of the drive, reducing the number of track seeks the drive has to perform. A side benefit is that the new drive may even use less energy that the older, smaller one & thus your Mini will run cooler.
This will not make the old soldier comparable to a newer Mac with a faster architecture, but it is likely to result in noticeably if not dramatically faster boot times & application launches, shorter waits while the "spinning beach ball" is displayed, & quicker switches between running applications -- basically anything that requires reading from or writing to the drive.
Things to be aware of include making sure you get a drive with the right interface: you do not want a Serial ATA interface (often referred to as "SATA") but the older Ultra ATA kind (now often referred to as "PATA," for parallel ATA). Almost any new PATA drive will be either ATA-6 (also called ATA/100) or ATA-7 (also called ATA/133). Either one is a good choice. ATA-7 is potentially faster but the Mini's controller may not support it. If so, it will operate at the fastest ATA level it supports. Avoid ATA-5 (also called ATA/66) because the drive will be older & less apt to have the latest performance improvements.
If possible, get the specs for the original drive & make sure the power requirements for the new one are lower. They probably will be because lower energy consumption has become increasingly important over the last few years, but it never hurts to check.
I assume from the "putty knife" comment that you are familiar with opening the Mini & any reassembly steps necessary to restore its heat sinking ability to factory standards. If not, either learn about them or don't try this mod.
Also remember that you could just add an external drive instead, but if you like DIY projects or the idea of retaining the one-box form factor, this is a viable alternative.
