You can re-install iPhoto from the App Store for free. Just Accept the App at the Store. Then
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 or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

I want to open a .MOV file, but QuickTime doesn t open it. What can I do?

I downloaded 6 files from WeTransfer, all of the are .mov. There is only one file which I cannot open with QuickTime, and it tells me that the type of file is not supported.

I downloaded 6 files from WeTransfer, all of the are .mov. There is only one file which I cannot open with QuickTime, and it tells me that the type of file is not supported.
The MOV file container is generic. This means it may contain any valid combination of compressed data that was compatible with the system on which it was originally created. Different versions of the QT players are programmed to play different combinations of compressed data if
the file is not corrupted,
the file container is compatible with the player,
the player is programmed to play the compressed data in that file container,
the data was compressed correctly, and
the codecs required for playback of the compressed data are installed and available to the player.
Based on what you've said, all we know for sure at this time is that the file container should be compatible with all QT players. This means the file could be corrupted or contain data that cannot be decoded for any of several reasons. In order to determine why it doesn't play, you would need to provide more information or post the file for analysis by others.

I just downloaded Ilife 9 and now my Iphoto doesn't open. The error message says: You cannot open your library using this version. Quit and use the older version. What can I do?

I just downloaded Ilife 9 and now my Iphoto doesn't open. The error message says: You cannot open your library using this version. Quit and use the older version. What can I do?

iLife '09 is not available as a download - it is only available as a purchase
iLife '11 is available as a DVD purchase and the compoments of it are available from the App Store (iPhoto '11 (version 9.1.5), etc)
Exactly what did you do? And exactly what does the error message say?
On the surface it appears that you are attemptying to open a new library with an older version (iPhoto '09 can not open an iPhoto '11 library for example)

IPhoto doesn't recognize .jpg files and can't open it. What may I do now?

iPhoto doesn't recognize .jpg files and can't open it. What may I do?

a common problem is that you don't have permission to upload those files, but it is an easy fix
1) Finder
2) Users(it should have the account name on it)
3) pictures
4) right click on iphoto library then click info
5 on the bottom of the new window there should be a sharing and permissions tab
6) make sure you have permission to read & write
The only other problem I can think is that you are having problems with hard drive space. if so you might want to clean up your hard drive to free up some space. please let me know if that worked for you.

Hello John...
You may have a Safari third party add on installed that was compatible with the previous version of Safari but not 5.1. Try troubleshooting > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
FYI... this is a user to user forum. If you can't resolve the issue, information for contacting AppleCare here.

If your MacBook Air model originally shipped with an install thumbdrive, reinstall it from there. Otherwise, open the Mac App Store, sign in with the Apple ID you registered the computer under, choose the Purchases tab, click on Accept if prompted, and download it.

Is it actually a PDF file or something else.
You haven't given us enough information to do anything other than throw random guesses your way.
Version of Reader? File type? Downloaded and saved to your desktop or are you clicking a link?
Opening in browser or using File>Open in Reader?
More info is better.
