IPhoto gone after restoring hard drive. Can I get it back?

I had to restore HD drive from disk in order to open computer, now I have no iPhoto. The Macbook is only 3 weeks old, and I believe iPhoto came installed. What can I do without having to upgrade to Aperture now.
R

Perform a custom install from the MacBook's disks and install only that component if possible; if not, use Pacifist to install it.

All info gone after software update, how can i get it back?

New G3, notified me I needed to sync w/itunes to get the new update. After syncing, and various problems and errors, it said i needed to restore my iphone... everything would be wiped clean +but i could get it back+ after the update was complete. Update is complete, where is the option to put all of my stuff back on my phone? My contacts, my appointments, my alarms, my life... aargh!

Turns out those error messages it gave me were because it didn't sync properly and create a backup. Which is why when I restored from backup it didn't reload my old info. Instead of assuring me that I would have the option to restore my info, it would have been nice had it told me that a backup hadn't been completed and that restoring my phone without it would leave me with nothing.
Tech support had me use my old SIM card to import my old contacts. This worked, but I've entered contacts since getting the new phone that aren't on my old SIM. And doing so left me with a bunch of re-organizing to do (deleting, combining, entering First and Last name fields...) it took me several hours.
I didn't get my appointments back, cause my old phone was just a phone, and that info wasn't on the old SIM, but I'm REALLY glad I got my contacts.

I have an iPhone 4s. Today I went on to my calendar app to find everything deleted from it. Then I went to make a phone call and every single one of my contacts has gone from my phone. Can I get them back and how?

Whoa whoa no need to go restoring stuff yet, once you've done that check to verify you have done what Overlook2011 IF that doesn't work for calendars ensure your default account for calendars is set to iCloud and in calendars that it is told to "Show all calendars"

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?

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

I need to check a few other things...
Click on 'Mail' in the upper left corner next to the Apple ()
Click Preferences
Click the 'Accounts' tab
Make sure your iCloud account is highlighted in the column on the left.
In the account information section what does it say next to:
Incoming Mail Server?
Outgoing Mail Server?
Also, did you use MobileMe before the iCloud?

When editing my photos in albums (in 9.4.3)I enter descriptions and locations. I have had 2 iPhoto crashes and when reopened the descriptions are gone. Locations survived. Can I get them back? Or do I have to do over?

When editing my photos I add descriptions and locations. I have had 2 recent Iphoto crashes. When relaunched the descriptions are missing but locations survived. Can I get them back somehow? Have I missed a "save" step on each entry? Using Iphoto '11 version 9.4.3

backup your iPhoto library, depress andhold the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and use the resulting first aid window to rebuild your iPhoto database

The Apple Store recommended wiping and reloading software on my Mac Mini yesterday. In the process I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage Band. How can I get them back?

I took my Mac Mini to the Apple store yesterday since I was having trouble with difficult to read text. They recommended wiping the drive and reloading it. I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage band in the process. How can I get them back. The App store says they are already installed.

What I missed was that I needed to select "Purchased" rather than using the normal listing of items. Once I went to the purchased list I could easily download the various software.
Thank you all for your help.

I updated my ipod touch to ios 5 and now it wont restore and i can't get anything back...need help please!

I updated to IOS 5 tonight on my ipod touch 4th gen and now it won't restore. I can't get it to restore from a backup either. It either says "iTunes could not restore the iPod "____" because the backup session failed or i get error -50. It appears all of my songs and apps are in iTunes, but I guess I don't know where to go from here to get things back to how I had them before. Is there a way to access an early backup to try that? or am I going down the wrong path? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

don't ask me why this worked, but it did for me last night. In iTunes, where your device shows up on the left side, I double clicked on it. It then allows you to change the name like you can for changing file/folder names. I changed 1 letter on the name of the ipod and hit enter. I then right clicked on the new ipod name and chose restore from backup. My choices for backup was the original name of the ipod only and not the name i had just changed it to. I told it to go ahead and backup from the old name figuring I would get the same results, but not the case. It restored it with all app, music and pictures with one exception...all of the settings, email setup and information within the apps was lost. Atleast that an easier fix than starting all over. Hope this will work for you guys too with the same issue.

I plugged in my iphone then i took my iphone out of the computer then all my notes were gone exept for one how can i get them back?

they are not in my mail how can i get them back?

have you tried a hard reset, if not try this
it doesn't matter whether the phone is on or not to start with
Press-hold the Home button (big circle below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
Continue holding both buttons (Ignore the "Slide to power off") until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart.
You may let go when you see the silver Apple logo.
You have completed a hard reset successfully.

I reseted my MacBook Air, and now I don't have my iphoto and microsoft office anymore, please help me..how can i get them back?

Thank you for your question,
If you have the installation disc for iLife and MS Office, then you can install it from there. With iPhoto, if you downloaded it from the Mac App Store, you can redownlad it fron the "Purchases" tab.

If i backed up my iPhotos on an external hard drive can i delete them off my mac?

I recently backed up my Macbook pro on to an external hard drive. I was wodnering if i could delete my photos from my iphoto library to save space, and if so can i then get them back on my computer from my external hard drive?

Depends on exactly what you did
And if you delete the information from your main computer then you do not have a backup - to have a backup you need hte original on your computer and an exact copy on another disk
What format is the external drive? It must be Mac OS extended (journaled) to have your iPhoto library on ti
What did you copy to the external drive? The iPhoto library or your photos?
What you probably need to do is to run your iPhoto library on an external drive and to have a second external drive to backup to - Time Machine is a good choice
To run your iPhoto library on an external drive verify that the drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPHoto library to it intact as a single entity - depress the option and command keyus, launch iPhoto and select the new location - fully test the library on the external drive and after one successful backup cycle verify that the external drive is being backedup - then delete your iPhoto library on the main drive - test one more time before emptying the trash

All photos in Faces gone after external hard drive transfer to new MacBook Pro

Hello all,
I had a upto date 6 year old Macbook G4 that I regularly backed up onto a external hard drive.
I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro OS 10.8.3 with iPhoto version 9.4.3.
I imported all info from the external hard drive to the new MacBook Pro. Seems most all data transferred ok.
With the following exception with iPhoto application, I have over 17,000 photos in the iPhoto library.
On opening iPhoto on my new MacBook after import all the iPhoto seems to be working ok, Places, library, folders, editing etc.
The one problem seems to be with Faces. When opening faces it loads and the individual recognised face folders are there, with perforated outline
but no photos. No phots in any individual Faces folders.
All Faces folders are greyed out, the number of each of the faces in each folder is correct with names and are again all grey out with a perforated outline.
Help and information on how to get the pictures of the photos back into the indivudual folders which are still in the Faces page but are blank.
Thank you, signed "Faceless Faces"

I imported all info from the external hard drive to the new MacBook Pro. Seems most all data transferred ok.
Exactly what did you do? With iPhoto there is no "importing" involved - you simply drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the pictures folder of the new machine and launch iPhoto letting it convert as needed
With the following exception with iPhoto application,
You would do nothing with the iPhoto application - you use the new iPhoto application installed on yoru new system - you only move the iPhoto library as noted above
You can try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

New hard drive, can't get photos to load from "iTunes sync" back into aperture or iPhoto

My hard drive crashed while in for service. I had over 10,000 photos in aperture and they were not able to recover any of them. When I connected my iPhone 5 to iTunes, I see at the bar on the bottom that shows storage that there are 10,000+ photos but I can't get at them. I can see a few photos on my phone that did not sync to the new iPhoto so I know there is still something left on my phone too. How do I rescue my photos?

Good news- this is all so much simpler that you think. (I know because I too struggled with it for days.) It turns ou that you have to do NOTHING to set up streaming with 2.0. Once you have synced your computer, just leave your computer running and on your TV using ATV you will see whatever movies you have imported into iTunes in the movie menu even if you have not synced them. The only way that you can tell that they are not synced is that when you select them to play the streaming bar will appear briefly at the bottom of your TV screen to indicate that it is being synced. If you turn your computer off the movie that you have chosen would not even appear in the menu.
Hope this helps- it is too bad apple doesn't give more info about using ATV!

Restore Time Machine after restoring Hard Drive?

My iMac HD crashed and the good news is I was using Time Machine and it appears to have done an excellent job of restoring the drive. However, it is now trying to do a "full backup" onto the drive that already has the TM data so of course there is no room. Apple support describes this as normal behavior, but to me "normal" would be allowing me to pick up where I left off as if the drive had never failed. The only solution I can think of is to erase the TM backup and start over, but then of course I can never go back in time and the time machine is no better than a mirror image of the drive the day it died. Anyone know how to tell TM to go directly to incremental back ups?

Just to close the loop I did a quick erase using disk utility and started a new backup. If anyone from Apple is reading this,
No, nobody from Apple (except, perhaps, a moderator watching for language, rants, etc.) reads these forums. Make suggestions here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
it would be a nice touch to have an option once the disc has been restored to continue the time machine archive or start a new one. At the very least a waning that tells you a full backup will commence and whether or not your drive has enough capacity.
Agreed, but it doesn't always do a full backup (sure wish somebody could figure out why), and If there isn't room, the backup fails almost immediately, with a fairly clear message.
At the end of the day of course this is so much better than restoring a windows volume it's not even funny!!

My mac will not properly read the iphoto library on external hard drive. It only reverts back to the library on the computer instead.

I have an iphoto library on an external drive, which I have connected to my airport extreme. I can see the disk in my finder and access data on the external hard drive through the wireless, local network. The only problem is that when I use my iMac, the machine does not read the iphoto library on the external harddrive, instead it picks up the library that's on the iMac itsel. Is this a preferences list issue or something else? Any help would be great, thank you.

A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
