IPhoto app has disappeared

My iPhoto app won't launch and I can't find it via searches either.
I discovered this when I plugged in my digital camera and the import didn't start automatically as it had done previously.
How can the iPhoto app just disappear?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
How can the iPhoto app just disappear?
It can't. Here are the usual reasons it might be missing:
Someone put it in the trash - have a look there
Someone did an Erase and Install of the OS - iPhoto is not part of the OS and therefore needs to be installed separately.

  • My iPhoto app has disappeared and my iMovie has a question mark through it!?

    I went to go onto my iphoto app on my macbook pro today and realised it was missing and imovie has a question mark on the app and won't let me open it can any help me get it back please? I haven't messed with it nor deleted it so haven't got a clue where it has gone or what's happened. I don't want to pay for it as its not cheap and I had it for free on the mac so don't see why I should by it.
    Thanks in advance

    I've managed to get them back for all the other people who are having the same problem go onto the app store on your Mac and once it loaded click 'Purchases' with a little price tag by it and look for it in the list and it should be there for you to install it again for free

  • HT201272 My You Tube launcher app has disappeared from the home page and can't be found. How do I reinstate it?

    The You Tube launcher app has disappeared from my home screen. How can I reinstate it?

    The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version and there is Jasmine), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

  • My Facebook app has disappeared

    My Facebook app has disappeared. It still appears in the purchased section of the my app store with status OPEN but when I click on OPEN nothing happens.
    I have restarted my iPad, restored settings and still no help. I was also advised to cable link the iPad to my laptop and in iTunes remove/delete the Facebook app, then re purchase it. When I tried to remove it I was shown a message saying, this will not be deleted from your IOS device.
    Yes eh I can still access Facebook from Safari but that defeats the purpose of the app which gives me notifications immediately.
    I am really keen to find the Solution.

    You do not want to do the Delete/Redownload the App from/to your iTunes Library - you want to Delete/Redownload it from/to your Device. When you hook up your device to iTunes, click on the device, then on the Apps tab to the right in the Device Profile Screens (not on the App under Apps in the Library).
    You should see a little box next to the App that says "Remove". Click on that. It will then change to "Will Remove". Sync your device to remove the app. Then eject the device, check it to make sure the app is no linger listed with "Open" next to it. (depending on your display options, you may still see it but with a little Cloud next to it, or you may not see it listed at all).
    Plug the device back into the computer, and select it again. Then, under Apps in the Device Profile, see if the little box next to the App says "Will Install" If it does, then sync to reinstall it. If it does not, click on the box until you see the "Will Install" option and then sync.

  • Camera App has disappeared

    Just updated my iPhone 3G to version 3.0 and the Camera App has disappeared.
    So far I`ve:
    Checked all pages - not anywhere
    Done a full restore - still not returned.
    Check Restrictions - they were not on.
    Allocated Camera to home button but still not working
    Can anyone help PLEASE?

    There appears to be a bug with this new update (3.0) - If you're using Exchange (sync) support with the new firmware, then the camera disappears. If you deactivate the Exchange email account ( temporarily) the camera magically appears.
    Maybe Apple will call this a 'security feature'? < said as a joke > because many larger organizations shun using camera phones internally. In fact, many government/federal institutions do not allow you to bring camera phones into their offices...
    Whatever the reason, it's a bug.. not sure if it's a completely 100% known one but the next small point update should alleviate that.
    Try deactivating the exchange account and see if your camera icon shows up.. .Mine does..
    Good luck....

  • Camera gone? Basic camera app has disappeared.  How do I get it back?

    My basic Camera app has disappeared.   Did not think you could delete, did not do it intentionally.  It was the camera that came with the phone.  How do I get it back?  I did load Instagram a week ago or so.   Both apps were there now just the instagram app?

    Are you sure you didn't accidentally drop it into a folder?
    Try a hard reset:
    Hold Sleep/Wake & Home buttoms until the screen goes black and you see the white Apple logo

  • My iphoto library has disappeared. How can I get it back?

    My iphoto library has disappeared. How can I get it back?

    I'm very new to this sort of thing, so bear with me.  I had my computer in to the Apple store on Jan 10th, & they replaced Leopard with Snow leopard because of problems.  I have iphoto 8.
    This morning opening my computer a picture briefly appreared that I had saved to iphoto. I decided to place it in its correct event box, and  ! sign appeared.  Upon opening iphoto, I found a blank.  I've not backed up my files.  I've looked everywhere on the system, including Trash, applications, Pictures, all my document files.  
    Also I had 2 icons  of iphoto on my desktop because it had disappeared 2 years ago & came back some months later.  Two days ago I decided to clean up my desktop & moved the icons to the pIcture  file and a document file.  I don't know whether this triggered the disappearance. The main icon is still in the dock.
    Does this help?

  • My app has disappeared  how do I recover?  can I?

    My Numbers app has disappeared.  Can I recover it?  how?

    If you purchased from the App Store, easy fix! Just download it again from there. You will not get charged again. If you purchased from a DVD, still an easy fix! Reboot the DVD and install Numbers only!

  • My itunes app has disappeared from my iphone?  Help!

    My itunes app has disappeared from my iphone and also my app store icon.  How do I get them back?  I have reset the home page 4 times and they do not come back.

    If you can't find them on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen, then are they hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps and iTunes being set 'off' ?

  • My Mail app has disappeared from my ipod

    Whilst reorganising my apps in my ipod touch the mail app has disappeared.Anyone know how to retrieve it?

    Perhaps you have dropped it into a folder, together with another App. Check the App icons. Look for one that is a dark square with tiny (tiny) icons in the square. Tap it and it should expand to show you all the Apps in the folder.
    You can drag it out of the folder if you wish and set it on the Home Page.

Maybe you are looking for
