Inadvertantly deleted iPhoto
As another person reported, my iPhoto malfunctioned by apparently downloading photos, then on restarting, the new photos disappeared. Foolishly, instead of getting help, I deleted my iPhoto app, thinking to reinstall it, only to discover that all the downloads required a prior version.
This is second of two iMac 5s and only has 1 GB or memory
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: IM51.0090.B09
SMC Version (system): 1.9f4
Serial Number (system): W872220MVUV
Hardware UUID: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-001B63399C8C
So I can't install Lion and am running OSX Leapord 10.6.8.
Now what? Do I have to buy iPhoto even though I already had it before my thoughtless error?
You reinstall it from the original source. The restore disks that came with your computer or the app store
Then upgrade to the current version

Ive downloaded my photos into iphoto from my Canon G10 and cannot find them. I inadvertantly deleted photos from my camera. Any chance to recover or find them?
Do they show in "last import" or in photos view?
You give us nothing to go on so we can only make really wild guesses
you may be able to recover them on the camera card using software like media recover

After inadvertently deleting Safari, I reinstalled all applications, but iphoto still won't work
After inadvertently deleting Safari, I reinstalled all applications, and all returned to full fucntion except for iPhoto. Although the iPhoto icon appears in the dock, and despite my also having successfully downloaded the most current version of iPhoto via "Software Update, now when I open iPhoto, I get a window stating that I can’t open my "current photo library using this version of iPhoto." The window also advises as follows: "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?" However, despite tha apparetnly two options stated in the window--quitting or creating a new library, the only thing I can do at that point is "Quit," which closes iPhoto. When I reopen it, I enter the endless loop of window notifications documented above. What can I do, if anything, to render iPhoto functional with regard to the photos I had saved to it before I had to reinstall all of the applications on my iMac? Alternatively, are those photos lost forever? Please advise.
It's hard to say for sure, because we do not know what version you had or have now.
You should have to pay again if you already paid for an iPhoto upgrade at one time or another. All you should have to do go to the App Store select Purchases and reinstall that version of iPhoto.
If you did not Purchase an iPhoto upgrade from the App Store, then you will need to look and see what version of iPhoto you have (6, 8 or 9) and then as Carolyn suggests update it with the latest update for that version.
see > Apple - Support - Downloads
FWIW, I do believe that iPhoto 9.2.3 is the latest version of iPhoto 11 that will run in 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. -
Does Time Capsule back up everything on my computer? If I inadvertently delete photos from iPhoto can they be retrieved from Time Capsule?
About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.

How can I recover deleted iPhoto photos
Hello,
Just a few weeks ago, I noticed my hard drive was nearly to capacity on my imac, so thanks to the boards here, I moved my entire iPhoto library to an external hard drive. The move was successful, however, recently I was organizing photos in iPhoto (now on external hard drive) and I inadvertently deleted photos from a recent vacation. The next day I emptied my iPhoto trash can. Is there any way I can recover these photos? I have Time Machine but I believe it doesn't work on the external hard drive, does it? Please help!According to this link (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4927), "Time Machine canʼt do a full iPhoto Library backup when iPhoto is open. To ensure that Time Machine does a complete backup of your library, periodically quit iPhoto before backing up."

Can I now delete iPhoto after upgrading to Photos
I have upgraded to photos synced everything across iCloud and everything seems to be fine.
I have a migrated library showing in iPhoto
showing a size of 43gb. I know it is not this size but is it safe to delete the iPhoto library. And also can I delete the iPhoto app its nearly 2gbDo not delete iPhoto!
Remember, we now live in the world of downloaded software. Programs can get removed or changed and you have no ability to reinstall later. In fact this has already happened with iPhoto. You can still buy older versions of iPhoto sold on disk but not the current (download only) versions. -
When I bought my iMac, the Apple store helped me set it up (move everything from my p.c. to the Mac. To set up iPhoto, I used my original Apple ID which is now unusable due to changing my email address. I kept the password the same so I could always get into it but it won't work now.
Most of the apps I bought on my original apple id I have deleted since I cannot update them. Now that I have to update iPhoto and can't, I am worried. If I delete iPhoto to buy again on my 5 year old "new" Apple ID, will I lose all my pictures, videos, etc?
What is the work around for this? Losing my pictures is not an option but if I cannot use iPhoto due to upgrading to Yosemite, then what?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.First, try the new password. If you didn't sign out of iCloud prior to changing the primary email address of your Apple ID, this is what can cause this problem.
Also, read this: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support -
I inadvertently deleted the source tunes from my iMac. How do/can I restore them from my iCloud account?
Welcome to the Alpple Community.
Your iCloud account doesn't have anything to do with iTunes. With iTunes in the cloud you can redownload tunes you have purchased from iTunes (select purchases from the list of options in the top right hand corner of the iTunes home page.
If you have iTunes match you can redownload all your tunes by clicking the cloud icon at the right of each listing. -
I have deleted iPhoto from my MacBook Air. When I try to reinstall it, itunes tries to charge me. Is there a way to reinstall the old version for free?
depening on what OS you're running you should be able to reinstall it without charge since it's part of the operating system. if running 10.6.8 or earlier you will need to use the applications install disc if there is one or if you only have one disc you can put it in and do a reinstall of the OS which will put the iphoto back on. if running 10.7 or 10.8 can sign into the app store w/ the same apple id that is associated w/ the mac and it should show in your purchases for you to reinstall it. you may need to click on the accept button if it appears next to the iphoto in your purchase listing.

ICloud backed up my iPad yesterday at 3:00 pm. After that I inadvertently deleted an app called Good Reader which contained a lot of data. iCloud still shows the app, how do I get it back to my iPad?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
To recover completely you'd need to restore from a back up that contained the app data. Alternatively you can just restore the app by redownloading it.
You can re-download content purchased from the app store using the purchased option which is revealed by tapping the updates option at the bottom of the screen of the App store app on your iOS device. -
i accidentally deleted iPhoto on my mac and it says the the app was downloaded with a different apple id and now i can't get the app back without paying $14.99
Did you install it yourself are somebody else for you?
If you installed them yourself, but do not remember which AppleID you used, try all AppleIDs you might have used in turn.
If somene else set up your Mac for you, ask the person to reinstall it. If you bought the mac second hand, the previous owner needs to contact Apple to transfer the iLife apps. If that is not possible, delete the apps that you cannot update and buy them using your AppleID. -
My iphoto library has become unreadable. I am wondering if I shoudl delete iphoto and reinstall? Can I download iphoto from the web? I bought my computer in February of this year. Do I have to buy a new copy?
It's probably the library that's the prolem and not the application. Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and open a new library then your existing library is damaged.
If that's the case, Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Deleted iPhoto 5, do not have backup iphoto disk, where to go from here?
I deleted iphoto 5 on my ibook G4 because it kept crashing and wasn't responding properly. I cannot find the iphoto disk to re-install it, and have tried installing 6, yet since it reads that I do not have any sort of iphoto app on my computer I cannot use the upgrade. I can get the iPhoto 4.0 disk, will that work for me???
Hi Kerry,
From what you wrote it seems like you deleted photos from the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. When you opened iPhoto, the thumbnails were still there because you did not delete the photos from within iPhoto (the proper way to do it) When you click on the thumbnails of deleted photos to delete the thumbnails, iPhoto cannot find the photo to delete (thus the spinning ball)
Is this your situation? If it is, then you will have to deal with the spinning ball each time you want to delete the thumbnail of a photo that you already deleted from the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
You do need to get the version 5 library working well before upgrading to version 6. I suggest you follow the next directions for creating a new library.
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!
