IPhoto deleted, Please Help!

Hi. I accidentally deleted iPhoto off my computer and I put in the snow leopard cd and went to optional installs, but iPhoto is under the applications. Is there a way I can get this back since I am licensed to use this?

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/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/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.

If you have iPhoto '09, you cannot browse or restore seleted items from your backups. See the pink box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
Mail should work, however, per the blue box there.

Move iPhoto 9 library to iPhoto 11 please help?

I wan´t to move my iPhoto 9 library from my old computer, to my new computer with iPhoto 11 please help me?

Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

Hi, I'm using imovie 11, I want to delete a clip video at the end of the project, but keep the audio, everytime I delete the video, the audio is also deleted, please help!

Hi, Excuse my English, I'm using imovie 11, I want to delete a clip video at the end of the project, but keep the audio over the fade to black, everytime I delete the video, the audio is also deleted, please help!

I assume you are trying to end the clip/project with a fade to black, or something that just doesn't cut so instant.
One thing i'm thinking you can try is to Add a "Transition Clip" to the end, and try your first method. (with Detached Audio + Delete Selection. (Yellow highlight was deleted selection) Do you need something to end like this?
If you can, put screenshot up (Shift+Comm+4), if i'm not on the right idea. It seems like an easy fix, with a few ways of doing it. You can also add a blank image to end project, sub titles or Add,Cutaway fade +Opacity adjust.

IPhoto deletion: Seeking Help to fix!

Okay, so, I tried fixing the whole iPhoto issue where I kept getting a loading bar. Left it for hours, didn't get anywhere. So, I deleted thee entire package figuring I'll just start anew, no problem. No, I have tried redownloading the iphoto software starting with 5. Problem with that is, in the process of me deleting everything, apparently I deleted something important because in the downloading process of iPhoto 5, right when I get to Destination Select it says iPhoto 5.0.4 can't be installed on the disk. An eligable iPhoto application was not found in the location / application/ iphoto. app. Does this mean I'll have to purchase the package... AGAIN! Even though I had already purchased it when I bought it? I don't have the disks because I had it all set up at best buy. That's the only way I see this actually fixing my problem, but that's the last thing I want to do. If it is, so be it. But, please help! Maybe one of you can fix my problem?

You can't download an iPhoto 08 (is that the version you had?) from the Internet. All you're doing is downloading are updaters. You need an install disk.
iPhoto comes free with every Mac. Best Buy should have given you the install disks with the Machine. If they didn't then you need to contact them.

Is it possible to change the number of rows while printing a contact sheet in Iphoto? Please help

Hi guys, I am struggling to find out how to change the number of rows on a contact sheet on Iphoto , i have selected my photos and i want it to print 6 photos on each page however I am not able to do it. Please help me out, im a Art student and i need to submit my contact sheets for an assignment Thanks in advance guys !!!!!

I don't think you can do that with the Contact Sheet layout. If you have Pages or a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can do what you want. Or try the demo version of OmniGraffle for Mac It will run fully operational for 14 days.

Question: Inadvertently a visiting toddler gained access to my computer during a visit. He's obviously fiddled with something as I can no longer use my arrow keys to navigate through my albums or events on iPhoto. Only one pic shows up in the album view - I can't see any thumbnails. To see the other pics I have to use the scroll bar on the right hand side of the window. Please help!

Depeding on your version of iPhoto: On the left (iPhoto 11) or right (earlier versions) of the lower frame of the iPhoto Window you'll see a slider. Drag it left.

Random Pics stuck in iPhoto. Please HELP!

Hello, I am so frustrated any help is much appreciated.
I have been using iPhoto '09 to import for some time, and editing in Photoshop CS. I noticed recently some pictures will not respond to the double click that opens them up in Photoshop (PS from here on in.) The crazy thing is, it's random photos, even from the same day of import. I am so confused and really at my wits end. I can not drag and drop anything from iPhoto to the desktop. I can not copy or paste a selected image. I can not even find iPhoto file or library when trying to search from PS. I can't even edit them IN iPhoto when I select the app to be the editor.
I have no idea what I may have done, but will be pretty devastated if I have to lose many of the original images that are stuck in iPhoto.
PLEASE. If anyone knows what I can do, I really really appreciate your assistance.
Macbook OSX 10.6.8 2GHz Intel Core Duo
iPhoto '09 8.1.2
Photoshop CS version 8

Matt, you're awesome, and so sorry to have you on this mess! I have seen other files, like Data, Modified etc.. Now the Data folder looks like an Alias (has that little curved arrow in the bottom left corner), but the Data.no.index appears normal... This is where ALL my photos can be recognised, but they are simply thumbnails... The Modified folder holds all the originals as well, not just pics I've edited in PS.
How do I edit in PS? I have had that selected as the editor for iPhoto for years.
I am currently rebuilding the Library, with the top three choices selected. I'll see if that does anything, but you've helped a lot in teaching me how to access internal files or commands with the 'right click' before opening.
Again, your time and help have been much appreciated!

MY FAVORITE IPHONE 3GS WALLPAPER DELETED - PLEASE HELP !!!!

Hello All,
I'm desperately looking for an old iphone 3gs wet pink stemmed rose with water drops wallpaper which got deleted from my phone and now I see that the wallpaper is no longer in the wallpaper gallery of my phone either.
I have come to understand that older wallpapers are probably deleted when the ios is updated or something but that wallpaper was very very special to me - if any of you has the wallpaper, I beg you to e-mail it to me via email or send me a link where I can download it from.
I have seached the web extensively, but I've had no luck finding it. I've seen some collages of the wallpaper but not the wallpaper alone in itself in clear good res. It was a very common wallpaper used on most iphones in 2010.
Fortunately, I have a screen snap but it has writing and time over it so I can't use it as a wallpaper, but it will give you an idea of the wallpaper I'm looking for.
Here it is:
Waiting in anticipation.
Many thanks.

In an odd turn of events, I still HAD my favorite wallpaper when I updated to the new iOS, and now it has disappeared. Can someone please help me get it back?
The earth wallpaper was set on my phone when I downloaded the update, and I've been able to view it ever since then. But all of a sudden, today, the earth is gone from my homescreen. It looks like a blue, very very foggy earth but the earth is not visible. When I went into settings, it still appears there in the thumbnail that shows how my homescreen wallpaper should look.
What gives? How can I fix this and get the original earth graphic to reappear?
Thanks!

Missing Photos from my Iphoto library, Please Help!

#1 Woke up yesterday and noticed there are many pictures missing from my Iphoto library.
#2 The folders are still there but there are NO picture in some of them EVEN though my total picture count remains the same. About 25k pics.
#3 I do a google and some forums suggest "rebuilding" the photo album THROUGH my Iphoto Photo Library.
#4 I go ahead and start the rebuilding process which seems conceivably at the rate its going, it might take maybe a full day or more!!
#5 My laptop FREEZES for some mucked up reason at about 5500 photos rebuilt so far. I am forced to force quit Iphoto and RESTART the whole process.
#6 Now during the "rebuild" process. The process stops at and ONLY recognizes up to the 5500 photos.
#7 Now my library ONLY says 5500 photos instead of the 25k
#8 All of my photo FOLDERS still remain.
#9 A little tidbit, I don't know why but my external 2tb hd is somehow connected to my Iphoto, where if my EX HD is not connected I will be missing many photos from my mac laptop Iphoto Library while disconnected.
#10 2 things, I have not backed up my library since Dec 2010, BUT i also have added very little photo since then.
PLEASE HELP ME KIND MAC PEOPLE, What can I do? Where have all my photos in my library gone? Why will it only rebuild now only to 5500 photos. Please shoot my some ideas and help if you can. Thank you very much for your kind advice and help! Humbly "Devastated" for these photos are work and family irreplacable :[

It is unlikely that your problem is a corruped preference file - the correction for that is
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
It is likely that you have a corrupted library - and backups are NOT just to protect against hardware failures
Note - things fail - software - computers - people - and if you do NOT always have a current backup you will lose all of your photos and other data sooner or later
And the managed library has NOTHING to do with the library you have selected - it has to do with iPhoto preferences you have selected -
Were the "missing" photos only missing when the EHD was no tavailable as you implied?
and do you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - if htat option checked or unchecked?

I have a iMac 5,1 made b/t 7/23/07-7/29/07 but have OS X 10.6.8 w/ 2GB mem but unable to install Maverick, Garage band and iPhoto. Please help. Thanks!

I have a iMac 5,1 made b/t 7/23/07-7/29/07 but have OS X 10.6.8 w/ 2GB mem but unable to install Maverick, Garage band and iPhoto. Would installing Snow Leopard 10.6.8 make it possible to install Maverick? Please help. Thanks!

The highest OS X version you can install on your model iMac is OS X Lion 10.7.5.
To get to this! you would need to purchase the retail OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD, first.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
OS X 10.7 Lion is no longer available, directly, from the Mac App Store. You need to contact Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE and ask for retail software sales and tell them you would like to upgrade your Mac to OS X 10.7 Lion and they will give you a special download code to download it from the Mac App Store.

VERY URGENT IPHOTO QUESTION PLEASE HELP!!!

Good day. i know this is an ihpoto question which should be posted in the iphoto section- but due to its urgency i really need all the help i need.- I would like to create a slide show presentation with music attached to it. i tried it once with a few pistures and it worked. now, i have around 3 hundred pictures and would like to create a slide show but unfortunately the same music keeps on playing over and over again. once the 1st music is done and there are still pictures to be shown, can i use another music title? how do i do this? please help....

I always create a playlist in iTunes when I'm making an iPhoto slide show. You can select the playlist to play. I generally try to figure out how long I really want the slide show to last, and then make the playlist in iTunes. You haven't told us which version of iPhoto you're using, but the more recent versions have an option to time the slideshow to the length of the music rather than playing the music over again. Exactly which versions of iTunes and iPhoto do you have?

My library got deleted. please help me!!!

a couple days ago I plugged my ipod into my laptop and all of my songs got deleted in my itunes library. I knew that if I pluged it in again and updated it then I would no longer have songs on my ipod but I plugged it in in the hopes of transferring them from my ipod to the library and a message came up saying something like "this ipod is linked to another library would you like to replace all files" and I said yes thinking that the songs that were on my ipod would go back into my libray but it didnt work. I dont know how to get them all back. please help.
ipod mini

Although your iTunes Library display is blank, your song files may still be on your hard drive.
Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for some ideas on how to find them, changing file extensions in the search as is necessary (i.e. .mp3 or .m4a.)
If you find the files, you can add them back into your iTunes Library by your favorite method .

Os yosemite, cs6 ext, this is what I get when trying to open,Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). please help me

Yesterday it was working fine, this morning I tried to open cs6 and I get the message above. Tried to put the file back in from my laptop ( copied on a thumb drive ) and when I close all the windows the files does not show up again, and ps6 shows me that same message above. I use an iMac 27" computer. I installed a plugin ( WhiteWindowworkaround.plugin1_0_6.zip ) for correcting my cursor problem. PLEASE HELP ME.......

The first thing I would try would be to manually reset the preferences. If that fails, try uninstalling the plugin and see if the problem goes away.
In case you don't know how to reset:
Reset Preferences
1) Close the program and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Win)/Cmd+Option+Shift (Mac) during startup (not reversible)
or
2) Move the Folder. See:

Iphone 4s and iPhoto problem - please help me!!

Hi there
I have searched the discussion boards for an answer to my problem, but cant find one yet.
I have a brand new imac with Mavericks installed and up to date. My iphoto is the latest one according to the app store and I have ios7.0.3 on my iphone 4s.
I have about 300 photos on the iphone and i connected to the imac with a usb cable and it appeared as though all the photos were imported in the usual way, so i agreed to delete them off the iphone when prompted to do so.
However, the events for the appropriate dates have been created, but they are grey and all claim to have 0 photos in them.
When I look at last import, it says that the last import was the import I did a few days ago and appears to ignore the one I have just done.
Please can anyon help me find where my photos are in a simple way. I am getting very cross and frustrated. I have used macs for 7 years with no problems until this.
I would also add that my iphoto is very slow and regularly stops responding so that I have to force quit.
Help appreciated!
Thanks a lot
Nick

Thanks to LarryHN and Old Toad, my problems are nearly over, I hope.
I did the repair and, thankfully, my missing photos are back.
However, I now have about 100 photos which are on my iPhone 4s camera roll and when I plug the phone in, it says that it has already imported them, but I can't find them in iPhoto!
I can see the pictures on the mac when the phone is plugged in and I look on the iphone, but I cant see where they are.
Do you think that having photostream has complicated matters at all?
Also, why does the photo stream on my phone (and ipad) show more photos than the photostream folder fir Nov 2013 in iphoto? Is there a delay in appearing in iphoto?
Finally, about 3 out of 5 times, iphoto becomes really slow and stops responding, requiring a force quit. Any ideas why this is and how to fix it?
THis is a great forum, thanks to everyone for help so far.
Nick
