IPhoto application disappeared OS 10.5.8
Using my old g5 ppc. Upgraded to Leopard 10.5.8 when it first came out. Worked fine till about a month ago: iPhoto disappeared from my main diak as well as the 2nd disk which I use for backup! At the same time, Safari quit working - it would come up but no window was visible. Strange.
I used the Leopard DVD to restore Safari by reinstalling the optional software, but iPhoto is still missing.
I did not purchase iLife separately, and I think iPhoto is part of that, but, if so, what was the source of iPhoto that I have used up until recently? Was it left over from Panther? If so, can I restore that version?
Thanks.
It's almost certainly burried in your Leopard installer disk. But a since you indicate you are using 10.5.8 a quick google search for "download iphoto" turned up this update which is for 10.5.6 or later. Note that that same search also turned up other update versions as well.

My Iphoto has disappeared all of a sudden. I tried to use my application disc but it gives me an error at the end of installation. I don't have to pay for an App that was already on my computer. How do I download or get IPhoto in my situation?
Is this an iLife installation disk or system install disk? In either case download the demo version of Pacifist and open the install package on the disk. Locate iPhoto and use Pacifist to install iPhoto. Then you'll need to apply the latest updater from the Apple Downloads webpage:
Apple - Support - Downloads. Just search for the iPhoto version you installed to get the updaters for that version.

I am using iOS Yosemite 10.10.3. After update iMovie version 10.10.08 and OS Yosemite Recovery. iPhoto icon disappeared. I opened the Photos icon but all my images which used to be in iPhoto were not there. How do I access those images in iPhotos?
Go to Finder>Applications and open the iPhotos app.
Apple want you to use the new Photos app which now should be in your Dock. Photos will import your iPhoto library -
My iPhoto application is missing
After a recent system update, my iphoto application has completely disappeared. I've tried updates, but it says I already have it installed. I'm using OS X version 10.6.8
what version of the OS do you have? Under the Apple menu ==> about this Mac
For the Application
reinstall from the original source - If you have OS X 10.6.8 it probably is option 1 - ;ossibly option 2
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

My iphoto has disappeared and photo library
I have been looking at similiar problems but nothing seems to be exactly like my problem. My iphoto has disappeared from my doc. There is no "iphoto" in the applications. When i go to my iphoto library I get this message. "There is no application set to open the document "iphoto Library". I do not have back-up for photos. I do not want to lose them if at all possible. I do have my start up disks for my computer.
HELP!Well put in the applications install Disc. Received this message:
"The installation failed." An unkown installation error occurred.
The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.
Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
I tried this several time and have come up with the same message each time.! -
HT201516 can iphoto just disappear? Why does my computer show no photos?
I Was trying to look at photos and iPhoto had just disappeared from my computer and seemingly so had my 30,0000 photos stored on my external hardrive. I am running MacKeeper and seem to have started to recover them. I tried to download iPhoto again and it said It couldn't run on less than OSX 10.10 whereas I have 10.9.5. When I have recovered my pictures I will update the OS. Can I update it now while the recovery is happening? And can I download iPhoto while recovering the photos? Has anyone experience of this?
The first thing to do is get rid of MacKeeper.

Is the iPhoto application in your Applications folder and does it open? If not, do you have a backup you can restore the application from? iLife disks?
iPhoto 9.3
Can you see the iPhoto Library on the external drive? How are you recovering the photos?
Before upgrading, I suggest you try to get iPhoto straightened out. -
The only thing that was different was that I had enabled spaces for the first time. And assigned applications to different spaces. I went to open my iPhoto from the dock and nothing!
I disabled spaces, which was working fine with all my other apps, and then tried again. Nada! Then I went to the Finder and applications - no iPhoto! Did a search - nothing! When I click on pictures, my iPhoto library does not have the icon, just a doc. Help!Jannie
We have no idea why the application "disappeared", but I can think of no way that could happen without human intervention.
As to whether the existing Library will be available when you do re-install, we have no idea, but you're not going to know until you try What I can tell you is that re-installing should not change the condition of the Library. As always, you'll make a back up anyway.
In fact, as you will already have a back up from before this issue arose, you're pretty well covered, right?
Just remember that when you re-install you'll need to run Software Update as well to bring iPhoto up to date.

Iphoto has disappeared on all my computers
Ok I did not throw it away on any of my computer systerms. I have 3 macs and iphoto has disappeared on all of them. I plugged in my camera and that when I noticed its missing. On computer the icon is there but in the package is only music. WTH is going on. Is there a mac virus going around or something? Its not possible for this to suddenly happen on all three machines. One is an old MacPro that doesn't even have the latest on it. Did apple get rid of iPhoto? and deleted it without informing me?
I just called a friend and she was shocked to see it disappeared of her computer also
anyone know whats going on?Who knew that you has upgraded AND done it with an erase and install option - if you don't other to tell us what you have done then we certainly can not guess
You do not have to buy iLife - it came on your computer and you can install it again after the upgrade -
reinstall iPhoto - go to your receipts folder ("Your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts) and remove any iPhoto receipts and reinstall from the restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install of bundled software only
For more information <a href="http://www.macworld.com/article/132243/2008/02/pacifist.html"> click here for the MacWorld article on reinstalling OS X applications.</a>
Or if you do a simple upgrade rather than an erase and install (or even an archive and install) you will not erase your applications
With the way you "upgraded" you had to reinstall all of your applications - including, of course, iLife.

Apparently my iPhoto Application seems to be nowhere found in my computer. It states under Finder: Applications - 'You can not open the application iPhoto.app because it is not supported on this architecture."
Meanwhile, with my remote, I can click to Musics, Pictures and view my pictures this way. So the pictures are somewhere in my system.
Last week I had some games that I deleted when I went on web sites. I may have accidentally deleted the iPhoto application. How do I obtain this back into my system. BTW, the iPhoto is still on the dock - that hasn't disappeared, but when I click to it. Nothing happens. Does anyone have any suggestions.Your iPhoto Library (located by default in your Pictures folder) and the iPhoto application are separate entities and reinstalling the application will not jeopardize your library and pictures. Depending on the model of your Mac you can reinstall iPhoto from one of these disks:

My iPhotos have disappeared completely. How do I get iPhoto back?
My iPhotos have disappeared completely. How do I get iPhoto back?
1. Your Library should be in the Pictures Folder, not the Applications folder. Are you sure that you're not looking at the Application?
2. If it is in the wring folder, move it to the Pictures folder. That's inly in the case of the Library not the application.
3.
Couple of things to try:
Restart your mac and try launch iPhoto again.
If that fails:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a file called ‘iPhoto’Lock.data or similar. Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If not: Where is your iPhoto Library stored? If it's on an External Disk, what format is that? -

Hi Debra,
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X 10.4 Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Any change on rebooting? -
I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have. -
how do i allocate more memory from my hd to my iphoto application? i have over 80 gb on my hard drive, but only 1.7 gb allocated to my iphoto application & i am unable to add more photos to my library. i keep getting a popup that says not enough application memory.
There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks.") The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
"Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details. -
Safari application-disappeared. & can't be found after download/install ...
This morning, Safari application was no longer in the Applications Folder on my iMac. (Nor was FireFox!) Can't find it anywhere, even using 'Search'.
So, I installed Safari from a previously downloaded .dmg/.pkg. Went through all the steps, and greeted with "Installation was successful!!!"
However, the [supposedly] newly installed Safari application is nowhere to be found.
I have been through various cycles of this, even downloading anew on MacBook and then dragging from MacBook to iMac. I have been careful to use the correct versions to match the Mac OS 10.6.2 that's on the iMac.
I'm befuddled. Can't find a similar problem on the forum ...HI,
*I have been careful to use the correct versions to match the Mac OS 10.6.2 that's on the iMac.*
Absolutely.
First, instead of using a .dmg Safari from a previously downloaded .dmg/.pkg... that might be a previous version of Safari, Go here and try downloading the newest version of Safari.
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
Make sure and select Snow Leopard on the left. If after the installation, you still can't use Safari
after you download and install Safari....
When you have probems with applications disappearing, it's probably a good time to check the startup disk for errors.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
If the startup disk appears to be ok and there sufficient disk space, try booting in Safe Mode

I used to have the iPhoto application and for some reason it is now gone. Do I have to pay 14.99 in order for me to be able to have it again or is there a way I can get it back. I have a MacBook pro 10.9.5 .
Depends on what you had
If you had iPhoto version 9.5.1 then you can reinstall from the app store under purchases
If you had any version of iPhoto '11 then you can install for free from the App store
If you had any earlier version of iPhoto (iPhoto '09 version 8.x.x) or older then you need to purchase iPhoto '11 version 9.x.x from the app store
If you had iPhoto '08 (version 7.x.x) or older then you also need to download and run the iPhoto library upgraded prior to launching the new iPhoto
