IPhoto missing after reinstalling leopard

After reinstalling Leopard on my new macBook, iPhoto is missing from the Applications. Has anyone any ideas how to solve this? I can't find the individual install for iPhoto either on the install disks.
Thanks

Why?
Because the copy of Leopard she has is unlicensed if she doesn't have the install disc.
Do I have to erase the installed one before I install my new copy?
If 10.5 is working why are you going to re-install?
Well, security for one. I would never, never, never use a pre-owned Mac without completely erasing and reinstalling everything from scratch. Who knows what hacks, security holes, pirated software, or other junk may have been left on it by its previous owner. We already know that the seller included a stolen copy of Leopard. Maya would be doing everything right by buying a fresh copy of Leopard and reinstalling.
And if iphoto is going to be missing, could I install it from the Tiger disk that came with my desktop?
System Restore Disks are particular to the model they come with. Also, it's a breach of the licence.
That's wrong. Software on a system restore disc may be transferred to a different Mac as long as the software is no longer installed on the first Mac. And while some have reported difficulty getting OS X to install on a different model, I think it's likely that the iLife apps will work.
If Maya has no system restore CDs for her iBook at all, she should contact the seller and demand them. If the seller told Maya that Leopard or any other Apple software is included, and then included no install discs, the seller defrauded Maya.

HT4711 how do I get iPhoto back after reinstalling mac os x lion?

I lost Iphoto app after I reinstalled mac os x lion, and cant get it back.....any suggestions?

iPhoto is not part of the OS X installation. It's a separate app.
Log in to the App Store and download it again - it doesn’t require a purchase.

Epson Stylus Photo 1400 profiles missing after Snow Leopard!

After installing Snow Leopard, I am no longer able to see the color profiles for my Epson 1400 printer in Adobe InDesign CS3 or Illustrator CS3. They do show up in Photoshop CS3 as well as Apple's Mail.app and Safari. But, they are most needed for the Adobe print programs.
I found another post that explained how to open an Epson package and copy the files to the ColorSync folder. This did not help; but, I was able to copy the profiles to the Adobe Color folder. Now they show up in InDesign. Haven't tried printing, yet, to see if they work properly. That's next. But, Apple and Adobe and Epson should fix this so others do not have this problem.

I've just upgraded from Leopard to SL on my 24in iMac.
I have an Epson SP R800 and an Epson SP 1400. Using Epson drivers for SL the 800 printer runs several blank sheets through before printing the first page. The colours are terrible. I use Adobe CS3 suite (final output in inDesign) for my brochures and can no longer print them to any decent quality.
With 1400 I just get an error mesage. I've tried the Gutenpress (or whatever it's called) alternative and while the 1400 prints with it the quality is atrocious. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the printers, resetting the lot and adding again, and no difference. I wish I had never switched from Leopard to be honest. SL may be slick (can't see any obvious benefits myself), but they could have developed it so that expensive printers still worked properly.
It also will not support Filemaker 8.5 Pro or Word 2004 - why not? A very unsatisfactory development all round that has offered no benefit that I can see at all.
If I reinstall Leopard and chuck SL in the bin would that be the best solution?

Lost Disk space after Reinstalling Leopard

I upgraded my Mac OS v.10.4.9 to Leopard v.10.5.1 in May and after Leopard was installed I had about 13 GB HD space left. It was lightning quick too. The new OS was v.10.5.1
Since then I've been downloading regular Security updates as they were prompted until the OS reached v.10.5.5 but the whole thing was gradually getting slower too so I figured I would reinstall Leopard and take it back to v.10.5.1 to see if it was back to the high speed it had when I originally installed Leopard v.10.5.1.
After I re-installed Leopard last week and it was back to v.10.5.1 it went back to running superfast again, but yesterday I started getting a notice that said I was running low on Startup disk space and I needed to delete some stuff to gain space.
When I checked available space I have less than 1 GB, about 300MB.
It seems that by re-installing Leopard it has been written adjacent to the 10.5.5 instead of on top of it, which I thought it would do automatically.
I found a file named 'Previous systems' on the HD and deleted that but it screwed it up so I had to restore that and now it's back to normal but I've still got less than 1 GB disk space.
Can anyone tell me how to delete my old operating systems (both the 10.5.5 and the 10.4.9 that I presume is still on there, which I originally upgraded to Leopard.)
I'm a conservative user of disk space and I deleted all my photos and only gained about 20 MB of new space so I'm pretty sure the problem is the OS's are written adjacent to each other instead of on top of each other.

Barry,
Thank you for your help.
When I deleted the Previous Systems file it was about 7 months after the Leopard installation.
You are right, I did do an Archive and Install in order to maintain all my info from v10.4.9.
The problem I encountered after I deleted the Previous Systems file was I then did a Secure Empty Trash and as it was emptying it was showing over 200,000 items and still upticking and that worried me that I had done the wrong thing by deleting the Previous Systems file.
So I stopped the Emptying process, and did a restart, thinking my HD space may be restored if the file was indeed possible to be deleted.
When it restarted that time, instead of the usual boot up process, there was a small flashing square box in the centre of a grey background, the small box had a blue earth in it and that went on flashing for maybe 20 minutes.
It eventually booted up and so I went to the trash, where the now presumably slightly diminished Previous Systems file was, and I dragged that file back into the HD and re-started the machine.
The world sign again flashed on, but this time for maybe only 10 minutes before it booted OK.
I checked and I was back to v.10.5.1 bit still with only about 300MB Disk space.
That's when I deleted all my photos but that only gave me about 20MB so now I'm up to about 320 MB - but as you say that is nowhere near enough.
But I do notice a definite increase in speed using 10.5.1 compared to 10.5.5. Those Security Updates have dragged it down badly.
Now that you have explained that the Previous Systems file may be safely deleted then I will try that again and let it run its course this time.
I'll let you know what happens.
Thanks again,
ann

Syncing after reinstalling Leopard

So I reinstalled Leopard, and for some dumb reason my iPod says that it normally gets synced with another library and that if I want to sync it with this one, I have to erase everything on it (which is problematic because I haven't backed it up in a month).
I'd like to know how I can backup my setting and apps, erase my iPod, sync it with my library, and then transfer music without getting rid of all of my applications and their settings.
Thanks a bunch,
SeanDaBomb

Start itunes, disable automatic sync. Connect your ipod, backup manually by right click on "ipod" in left itunes media window. This backup will contain all settings but no music or videos and you can use it to restore after your ipod was wiped the first time you synced. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
Transfer your purchases als well (File>transfer purchases)
As you still have your itunes library on your mac, you can sync content afterwards. You can download your apps again for free http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1977

ITunes won't open after reinstalling Leopard.

I have just reinstalled Leopard and when I try open iTunes, it gives me the following message: "The iTunes library cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I have gone to the Apple site and downloaded version 8 and it still says the same thing.

As noted - you will need to do a 'Software Update' as all the OSX programs were reinstalled with what was on the Leopard OSX Disk.
You can try to d/l each update or let the 'Software Update' panel take care of you in System prefs. Including the latest update to OSX 10.5.6.

Boot Camp partition after reinstalling Leopard?

IPhoto LIbrary missing after Snow Leopard upgrade MISSING FROM TimeCapsule!

_+*VERY ANGRY!!_!+*
My iPhoto library is missing from users/pictures after upgrade to 10.6
I figure I am backed up - use time machine/time capsule (ran it just before upgrade to be safe)
When I look at Time Capsule to restore, there are NO iPhoto libraries there anymore! None, over a year of running time machine!
I have used time machine and time capsule to restore my mac in the past, it worked, iPhoto was restored fine.
How can this be?!

Any word back from Apple (engineers or otherwise) on the missing iPhoto libraries? I updated our MacBook from 10.5 to 10.6 last night and all of our photos from 11/07 on have vanished. This corresponds to the date I purchased the current MacBook and of course, is close to the birth date of my two year old. Obviously, I am also furious that it looks like I've lost all of our photos of our only daugter. I also have a time machine back-up, but the folks at the Apple Store in Oak Brook thus far have been unable to find any indication of any additional photos on my dedicated back-up drive, suggesting that the iPhoto has never been backed up properly (the time machine back up drive has been in use for approx 1.5-years). I am amazed that this type of issue has occurred. Taking the Apple Genius' best guess of the situation, there appear to be at least two serious flaws: the 10.6 upgrade causes of significant loss of data (drive went from approx 7GB free to 52GB free), and (ii) Time Machine has never properly backed up the data in the first instance.
The Apple Genius just called again and wanted to give up, but as a last gasp, I convinced them to restore the whole 10.5 install off the drive, in hopes that 10.5 might recognize the library where 10.6 cannot. Given my understanding that Time Machine was supposed to back-up the whole drive, I have faint hopes this might work.

IPhoto missing after installation

I just installed from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion and now iPhoto is missing along with all my photos. I have photos on another device however I don't seem to have the iPhoto app anymore. How do I get it back?

Devil2Pay wrote:
Nevermind. Disregard my previous post. I ended up calling Apple Support, and although they couldn't figure out why I didn't have all the component software to iLife after upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, they did say to reinstall it (missing software) from the Application Install DVD that came with my Mac (didn't even know I had that, and luckily found it). So now I have all the missing software back on my Mac.
So you upgraded to 10.7 from 10.6, to 10.8 from 10.7
Good to know the 10.6 disk still works to install iLife. Thanks

IPhoto Disappeared after reinstall

I had some issues and needed to reload my operating system. After a restart IPhoto is now gone completely. I still have all the other ILife components(move, garage band, etc). I put the reinstall disk in and tried reinstalling ILife 08. It says it was successful but whenever I click on IPhoto nothing happens....the program still is not there. Any idea on how I can get it back?

Torti
Welcome to the Apple user discussion forum
delete all of the iPhoto receipts - "your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts - and do the reinstall again
What your you reinstalling from - iLife '08 disk or the restore disks that came with your computer? iLife programs are not contained on OS upgrades

Icons of some applications missing after reinstalling gnome3

I had to reinstall gnome today because I had accidently deleted all themes in /usr/share/themes and for that, gdm wasnt starting. After that everything works fine, only issue is that I cant see icons of some applications as seen below.
http://i.imgur.com/OeXPy.png
as you see icons of some apps like amarok, 7zipFM etc got replaced by the default icon. They used to show their normal icons before the reinstallation, and changing the icons via gnome-tweak-tool doesnt help.
All help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Are the icons missing when you use other icon themes like the default? Have you installed "alacarte" from AUR? You can then go in and change invdividual icons. Sometimes you have to restart gnome-shell for the changes to take place. "Alt-F2 then r"

Will restoring from clone defrag the disk after reinstalling Leopard

I have a (Santa Rosa A1226 MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz 2 Duo/4 GB/Leopard 10.6.7) that's recently been sluggish, slow, clunky and crashed twice last night. I've run disk repair on it twice in the last week but that hasn't resolved the problem. I searched the forums last night and found several posts that it's time to reinstall the OS. I have external hard drives (backup queen) and I will use Carbon Copy Cloner. But if I clone the hard drive and reinstall the OS, then reclone from my external, won't I just bring all the defrag or issues back onto the clean hard drive.
Thanks in advance for anyone with insight into this.

I know I can select the "restore from time machine" option in the main set up menu after inserting the installation disc,
No, don't do that. Don't restore a backup from a different Mac. Besides, Snow Leopard almost certainly won't run on the new Mac anyway. It will come with Lion.
Instead, use Setup Assistant when your new Mac first starts up, to transfer your 3rd-party apps, settings, user accounts and data from the backups. See Using Setup Assistant on Lion.
That will get your internal HD set up just like OSX was on the old one (except for things that are different on Lion, and there are a lot of them. See Changes in Lion from Snow Leopard).
Then use BootCamp Utility to install Windoze.

ILife is disappeared after reinstalling Leopard

Hello Everyone,
The subject may sound a bit silly so hopefully I can explain better here. I have bought my MacBook Pro 1.5 years ago. Originally it came with Tiger and iLife08 installed in the machine plus a Leopard DVD for the upgrade. So I upgraded shortly after I received the laptop and I ended up having Leopard and iLife08.
Until recently I decided to reinstall the OS with that Leopard DVD. I did a clean install so everything was wiped out. But after Leopard was installed I found out that iLife08 was no longer there. That wasn't unexpected since I did the clean install, but I was a bit shock when I realized I didn't have the installing files for iLife08. It was not part of that Leopard DVD and that's the only DVD provided from the package.
So now I am kind of stuck. I don't want to buy a copy of iLife08 or iLife09 since it was supposed to come with the machine. But now it is gone and I cannot install it from what's provided in the box. I wonder if anyone has similar experience like me? What do you do at the end?
Thank you for reading this.
Regards,
Johnny

As TD stated, iLife will be on the original Tiger Install DVD 2 that came with your machine (iLife '08 and Leopard were released a couple of months apart, but most MBPs with Tiger shipped with iLife '06).
You can try inserting that disc and running the Optional Installs package, and you may be able to install iLife. If you, you'd need to do your Erase & Install using the Tiger disc, then install iLife, then perform an upgrade to Leopard using that disc.

Iphoto gone after reinstall and can't install it again.

I've reinstalled OS and after that iphoto and all the programs from ilife are gone.
I've only got an applications install disc (on the disc: time machine, mail, dock, facetime etc.)
I need to get my iphoto back can anyone help???

Do any of the disks have an installer package like either of these on it:
