Iphoto App gone

Somehow my wife deleted the Iphoto Application, I think. This is on our macbook, not this G5.
It does not show up under "applications" and is no longer in the dock.
I was able to find a folder called "recoverd photos" when I went to "Places"- "myname"- "pictures". It looks like all the photos are there, but when I click a photo, it just shows the photo, it does not open it in Iphoto.
Do I just need to re-install ILife? Could it be that Iphoto is somewhere in the system, I just can't find it?
Thanks,
Ehren

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/
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.

Photo Collection Gone from iPhoto App

I went to my iPhoto app today on my Mac Pro with OS X Mountain Lion and found Photos to be some other family and the great amount of my prior photos were missing. I could find some of my photos on the Photo Stream but my thousands of pictures are gone. Can someone explain to me what might have happened? How can I recover my prior photos? To my knowledge I have done nothing to iPhoto except put on the updates to the app when they have come through.

What versoin of iPhoto and system are you running? Give this a try: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with
Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

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.

I've had my hard drive replaced and the iPhoto app is gone

Where did my iPhoto app go on my computer? Hard rice has been replaced

If you replace a hard drive nothing is still there -
reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

IPhoto library Gone! (replaced in just one click w/o ever dragging 2 Trash)

iPhoto library gone / replaced in just one click (w/ o ever dragging anything to the trash)!
I currently own multiple PowerMacs all sharing the same high speed local network. All of them run the latest / Mac OS X.4.9 and have multiple HD’s (both internal and external) as well as iLife’ 06. And all of them also have iChatAV3 and are able to video chat one with the other at will while on the same local high speed network.
This is my very first iPhoto library nightmare since I’ve owned a mac. and yes I’ve always been conditioned to backup everything one wishes to keep. This particular scenario is no different. (altho my back up HD for one of the three G4 computers involved was a bit dated by at least 6 months).
This was essentially triggered via two separate iLife ‘06 apps , namely iPhoto and iChatAV3 (combined with at least an ounce of stupidity on my part). That combined with 2 people not communicating properly / being on the same page (or rather the same Folder) when working on the very same task. Hey... I do NOT claim to be an expert at this particular application even though I have used macs since apple first introduced the Apple IIe decades ago. So this does not stem from lack of experience but rather not thinking things thru entirely in terms of all the possible consequences of simple, yet catastrophic actions when it comes to replacing or authenticating one particular folder containing the entire iPhoto Library simply titled “pictures”.
Starts like this, ichatav is open on 2 of three macs and my teenage daughter asks me to send her a roll of pictures she downloaded into my computer (since it’s twice as fast as her own) from her digital still camera. Now she wants all 12 photos on her computer as well. So I drag all 12 photos to my desktop and place them in a folder titled “Jackies pics”. I drag this folder to her icon on my buddy list and ichat AV simply refuses to allow sending the entire folder and ask me to send them one at a time. That should have been my first clue. Strange I thought. Always worked well in the past. Why not now? So I tell her over ichatav that the app simply won’t allow me to send her the entire folder and that I’ll have to send them one at a time. Please make a new folder on your HD called Jackie’s pics. She agrees and creates a folder on her end called .... (you guessed it) ...... “pictures”...... to which she drags each of the 12 images I sent over our local network.
Little did she realize this newly created folder has the makings of an atomic bomb when it comes to importing the entire folder into iPhoto’s library on her own mac. A dialog box quickly materializes asking that she “authenticate” or hit cancel. So she ask me what to do. I said that’s fine, hit authenticate (assuming she titled it Jackies pics). BIG mistake! She hits authenticate and now she has the 12 images I sent her in iPhoto....BUT .... the 1600 or so originals in the entire iPhoto library quickly vanishes. Her entire iphoto library is now wiped out or rather replaced with this new folder. She asks me, what happened? And in less than 30 seconds she in complete tears. Over 2-3 years of her photos (all 1600 images) gone in the click of a mouse.
Today is father’s day .... and I remembered that I have a complete backup of her HD (even though it is a bit dated). So together, we managed to recover about 90% of the lost images. If anyone reading this knows how I can possibly recover the final 10% (most current photos) then please help us.
Bottom line: We were fortunate. This Father’s Day iPhoto Nightmare ended happily....
TIA

Just another update .... Today, my daughter was multitasking on her G4 powermac working within iPhoto as well as email account and last but not least the latest iTunes. As she opened this final app (and I mean "final").... her entire hard drive bit the dust after she saw the spinning beachball and hence attempted to force quit. (I should also point out we are having a heat wave in San Diego today ...which also may have contributed to this hardware issue mainly).
This time, I had a complete updated copy of her HD and simply cloned it to a new hard drive. Took me a few hours to troubleshoot, clone and install a new drive in its place. But all is working normally again (sure hope it stays that way this time).
Friendly reminder to those who read this post .....
BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP .... ESPECIALLY IN IPHOTO & ITUNES!

Why can't I update the iphoto app on my mac (says not available in Canada)?

When I click on my iphoto it says it cannot open because it needs to be updated, yet when I try to update it in the App store it says it is not available in my region (Canada). This makes no sense, why shouldn't I be able to have/use iPhoto anymore?

Here's another possible means to get iphoto 9.6.1 posted by Terence Devlin:

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
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.

How do I save journals in iPhoto App

I have the new Iphoto App for my Iphone 4s. I need to do a factory re-set on the phone. When I do that, all the apps will be gone, including the Iphoto App, (I would assume) therefore I will have to re-sync everything to my phone. When the Iphoto App deletes, my other assumption is all the journals I created in it will be gone as well. Where can I save these journals. I don't see journals listed anywhere in my Iphoto App on my Macbook.
Thanks for any help.

I have reinstalled iPhoto and cant open my library. It says I have made alterations with a newer version of iPhoto, Have downloaded all software updates. What do I do to get iphoto app working?

I need help to get the iphoto apllication working. I reinstalled it from the iLife disc and upgraded the software as instructed but now it says I cannot open the library with this version of the iphoto app. Whats happening and how do I fix it?

I just updated photos on Yosemite and now iPhoto is gone. How can I get it back?

I just updated photos on Yosemite and now iPhoto is gone. How can I get it back?

What were you running before you updated? 10.10.2, or an earlier version of OS X (10.9 or earlier)?
If 10.10.2, then iPhoto should still be on your machine. If not, then go to the App Store, purchased tab, and look for iPhoto, and download it (you'll need iPhoto 9.6.1 to run on Yosemite).
If you never installed iPhoto from the Mac App Store, then you should contact AppleCare, who can probably help you out. That's the only option in this case; upgrading from 10.9 or earlier straight to 10.10.3 is a bad incidence of timing.

Which iphoto app comes with ios8

Which photo app comes with ios 8 ? Did they get rid of the iPhoto app, light blue with picture of palm trees? The only photo app on my iphone is the app with white background and colorful flower petals.

Did they get rid of the iPhoto app, light blue with picture of palm trees?
Yes, that is gone.
iPhoto is not compatible with iOS 8. You can migrate your photos to the new, improved Photos.app.
But it will be a lossy migration - no books or journals are supported any longer.

My Macbook pro iPhoto is gone!!

My Macbook pro has been running very slow and today i found out that my iPhoto is gone! I have checked my purchased items and iPhoto is not listed there! What I meant to do?! What is the problem?

A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.

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 or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.
If it's not on the list then check your account to make sure it's not hidden.

I clicked on iphoto app, it wouldn't launch. Then, I accidentally removed it off the dock. How can I retrieve it?

I clicked on my iphoto app, it wouldn't launch. Then I accidentally removed the app from my dock. How can I recover iphoto?

The good news is that even though you've apparently deleted the application itself as well as its icon in the Dock, neither of those deletions will have affected your iPhoto library or the pictures in it. You would have to have deleted that separately for your pictures to be gone now.

I accidentally deleted the iPhoto app?

Restore hidden photos in iPhoto app

I hid some photos in an iPhoto app (IOS 5.1) and when I returned to the album they were gone. The selected hidden photos worked until I left the album and they remain in the Photo app.
Any ideas on getting them back into iPhoto?

Ok, I tested with a synced group of photos, and anything I've hidden I can still see if I click the number of photos in the photo browser. I've included some pictures to make sure we're talking about the same places.

Iphoto App gone
