Iphoto and ilife gone!

I discovered today that iphoto and the rest of ilife are suddenly not on my macbook anymore! They're not in the applications folder and I searched for them on the computer with no use.
I bought the macbook the day Leopard came out. It came with Tiger on it and Leopard on a CD. The Leopard CD was the only one it came with, and I don't see ilife on the CD.
How can I get ilife back?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
They are on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert and opt to install 'Bundled Applications Only'.
Regards
TD

I am using iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2 but can not use iCloud with it. I've looked for updates in iPhoto and iLife'11 but no luck. Suggestions very welcome.

No you won't necessarily lose your photos when upgrading but it's very very unwise not to back up first. Backing up is like using a seat belt in a car. You can drive without one for years and have no issues, but if you do have a problem the outcome will be a lot worse. So, too, with back ups. And upgrading is one of those times when the risks of a problem are higher.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

IPhoto and iMovie gone after Mavericks upgrade

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mavericks and lost ALL of my applications. I finally have most everything back in order, but iPhoto and iMovie are gone and now the App Store says I need to purchase them.
Why should I have to purchase them when I already own them from the purchase of my MacBook Pro? Getting a free Mavericks upgrade should not cause me to have to spend $30 to get the applications back that I already owned in the first place.
Please help me restore those two applications.
Thanks,
Greg

so please read my responce
2 - to get them back you reinstall from the original source - which may be the restore disk that came with your computer, a purchased iLife upgrade or the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up
Maybe it is clearer using bullet points rather that standard English puncuation
To get them back you reinstall from the original source
which may be
1 - The restore disk that came with your computer,
2 - a purchased iLife upgrade or
3 - the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up - in this case you go to the App store under purchases
Only you know what the original source is
As as to who should pay for yoru mistake -- obviously if your mistake creates a cost then you should pay the cost you created - pretty simple stuff
As to Time Machine - yes they should be there but it is better to reinstall them - copying from a backup dose not work well for applications

Upgrading iPhoto and iLife 11

Hi there
We have iMacs at the college running 10.6.6. They came with iLife09 installed and I have also purchased iLife 11. iPhoto won't open and keeps asking for an update. Since we're not on the internet (it's a secure college) I installed iLife 11 from the CD. However, after restarting, I realised that iPhoto was still at v9.0 and iPhoto was still asking for an update from the online updater before it would open.
iLife 11 should install iPhoto11 should it not ?
Can anyone throw some light on this matter ?
Thanks
Marco13

Iphoto import interrupted during photos being deleted from iPhone now no photos on iPhoto and most gone from iPhone

I cant find anything on the macbook with any of the photos in and i am worried that ive lost them all. Would be greatful for any help.

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Iphoto and pictures gone

My sons IMac is missing Iphoto 08 and all the picures are gone. We have looked under applications, but is not there anymore. Unfurtunately we didn't back up any of the pictures on the MAC, luckily most of the pictures were loade on our PC. Can the application be deleted easily and is there a way to get all those pictures back?

BTW. This would be a good time to purchase an external drive and start backing up. If you do not sooner or later you will lose everything

Iphoto and ILIfe 6

I am not able to upgrade my iPhoto album with the newly installedf iLife 6. I receive two error messages; 1. Says that I don't have user access and the other 2. says that som of my photos are locked.

Hi RJC1941,
" Unable to upgrade this library because the current user does not have access"
-First make sure your Pictures folder has the correct permissions for you, the user. Do this by highlightling the Pictures folder, hit Command i to bring up the info pane.
Make sure you are the owner and have read and write permissions. Click the button at the bottom of the window.
-If your problem is a locked file/files follow the info in the following Apple kb

If all this fails you might want to try BatCHmode.

IPhoto and iTunes gone!

My iTunes and iPhoto icons on the dock suddenly acquired transparent question marks and will not open. They have also disappeared from the applications list. What has happened?

On both our log-ins, iTunes and iPhoto are now only in the applications folder and not the bar - inconvenient but better than denial of service! Now how to get them back to the dock for both of us....?
Nice to get a reply from California - we are in the UK and our daughter and husband have just emigrated to Santa Monica
Locate each app in the Applications folder and drag it back to the Dock and it it will be restored to the Dock.
Southern and Northern California are worlds apart, both very nice but personally I'm a N. Californian and prefer it up here.

Reinstalling iPhoto (and iLife?) on OS 10.7

On the Apple iPhoto forum, I have established that I need to remove iPhoto from my new computer and reinstall it.
With OS 10.7 this presents a new challenge as there no disks came with the computer. Do I restart holding down command + R key or do I go to the App Store on the computer to reinstall iPhoto?
Thanks for your help.
John

It's always difficult to know what is off topic. This seemed to me to be a OS 10.7-specific question. The iPhoto expert has been great but seems to still be coming up-to-speed on OS 10.7 and it's all new to me as own machine is running 10.5.8. However, I'll take this question back to the iPhoto forum as you suggest.

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/

My IPhoto library is gone and I cannot find it. I have found an earlier version witha few photos but the big one is gone. Any ideas?

My IPhoto library is gone and cannot be found. There is an IPhoto in Applications marked "original". I can find the one I'm looking for using Time Machine but when I try to open it it says that it cannot be opened as there is a newer version installed. Any help would greatly be appreciated:-)

Download and use Find Any File to search for the file "Library6.iPhoto" which is in every iPhoto Library package. If you find more than one check both to see if one is your missing library.

I just installed iLife on my new Imac version 10.8.2 and now I can't open my iPhoto app. It says that I Photo is damaged or incomplete. What do I do to restore my iPhoto and pictures!

I just installed iLife on my new iMac 10.8.2 version and now I can't open my iPhoto app. It says it is damaged or incomplete. What can I do to get it back along with all of my picutures? I was told by an Apple employee at my one to one training that it was OK to install iLife to get the iDVD that I wanted. Help!

I have installed iLife a few times and because of photostream, the version on the disc must be updated. Software update usually takes care of it. It sounds like you installed an old version over a new version. I've not tried that.
You have a late 2012 machine, if you open the Mac app store from the dock, you should be able to go to the purchased tab and download/install the right version of iphoto. Honestly, you should not have used that disc on this new of mac or at least only installed iDVD & iWeb but not garageband, iphoto, and iMovie.
If the Mac App Store shows iphoto as installed already, drag the app from your applications folder to the trash and reinstall it again from the Mac App Store. That is the version you need. You may find garageband and imovie have similar problems.
good luck.
PS. your photos are in your photo folder in your home folder. don't touch those, I'm talking about the app "iphoto" in the applications folder.

IPhoto and iDVD won't open after I reinstalled iLife '08

I was unhappy with iMovie '08, so I tried to load an older version from my iLife '05. However, it copied over all of my iLife '08 apps. I was hoping it would give me the option of just installing the iMovie app. Everything opened except for iPhoto and iDVD. I then reinstalled iLife '08, to try and fix the problem, from the bundled software that came with the computer. But still, iPhoto and iDVD don't open. Here's what iPhoto report says...

delete all of your iLife applications and your iLife receipts - do not do anything with your iPhoto library
Install iLife '08 and go to the Apple downloads page and download iPhoto 06 (a free download for iLife '08 owners) and install it and you will have the best of both worlds iLife '08 and iMovie 06

After updating an older intel macbook to Snow Leopard and ilife 11, Software Update says everything is up to date, but when I try to open iPhoto, it tells me I have to update to the latest version, what can I do?

Download 9.1 and 9.2.3 updates and install them

IPod Touch 64GB activated October 2013 - how do I get the free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps?

I purchased (from an authorised seller - Dixons Duty Free, Heathrow) and activated an iPod Touch 64GB on 18th October 2013 (prior to the announcement of free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps but after the 1st Sepember 2013 date in their conditions). It had iOS6 preinstalled. I've updated to iOS7. How do I get the free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps? The App Store is trying to charge me for theese.

Problem solved from information found in another thread....
If your iOS device was activated for the first time after September 1, go to the App Storeon your iPod which should open to Featured. If not, tap on Featured at the lower left of the screen & scroll down to Collections & tap on New to the App Store? then scroll down to Apps Made by Apple & tap. You should now see the iWork & iLife apps as "FREE."

Iphoto and ilife gone!
