Lost iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD when hard drive crashed.

I owned my iMac since 2007 and my first OS was 10.4. As far back then, my iMac came with iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD already installed. Since 2011, I had OS 10.6 on my iMac. Two weekends ago, my hard drive crashed and lost many applications, including iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD. I still had a copy of 10.6 on a disc and reinstalled it and even updated it to the version I had before my HD crashed. I notice that iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD are not in my computer anymore.
I visited the download section on the Apple website and have found versions of iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD that would be compatable with OS 10.6.8, but for some reason I can't install them. I was able to install iPhoto, but can't open it. I can't even install iDVD. I haven't tried to install iMovie.
Is there any way I can install these applications I lost? I realize purchasing a new copy of iLife is one option, but the version that is out now is not compatable with OS 10.6.8.

These are not applications. They are updaters for the applications.
You will have got a disk with your Mac that had the applications on it. You can reinstall from that.

My hard drive crashed. Lost Photoshop 11 software. When hard drive fixed, I bought and downloaded Elements 12. Trying to get photos in 12. All I have had for several hours are hour glasses. Photos are there if you click on hour glass, but cannot get photos to show up on the grid. What should I do?

Thank you. Unfortunately I have very limited technical skills.I am not sure what some of your suggestions relate to and the others I would not know how to do. But I do appreciate your respnse. A good start might be if you could tell me how to turn off face recognition. Thank you again

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.

TS1702 Just had to have my iMac reinstalled due to a fault. Now OK, but I have lost iMovie, iPhoto and pages which i had already purchased. How do I get them back ?

How do i get Imovi, Iphoto, and pages back after have to reinstall my operating system due to a fault ?

If you bought them from the Mac App Store then they should show in the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store app on your Mac. If they were pre-installed then you might be better off asking the iMac or Mavericks forums, this forum is for questions about the iTunes store.

Accessing site files on .mac for iweb when hard drive crashed w/out backup

Hello,
My hard drive crashed. I built my website on iweb, had it stored on my desktop before being able to actually back it up.
I have been able to grab my site files from idisk, but cannot drag & drop the website into my desktop, so I can update it.
Can you please add this feature to the iweb software. I do not understand why I could save the website on the .mac
server, and not access it when I need it.
This should definitely be a feature for working with .mac.
Please let me know. I am a fine artist, and the site is great.
Help please.

There is no way for your to do this unless you remembered or knew to backup a file called "Domain" from your hard drive before you formatted it. The pages that you already published and that are still online do not constitute any sort of backup....they are simply the finished product of iWeb's processing. There is no way to import these files back into iWeb for editing from your iDisk or from .Mac.
In the future, you should know that iWeb stores all vital information about your webpages in a single file called "Domain". This file is the one and only file where iWeb stores everything it needs to be able to edit your webpages and publish them. This is the file that you would need to backup in case anything happens to your computer....or you just want to use iWeb on another computer. This file is changed everytime you make a change in iWeb, so in terms of backup, it is wise to make a backup after every major change that you make to your websites so that you always have the most recent work backed up. This file by default is located on your hard drive in the following folder pathway..... HardDrive/Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/.... It is best to leave the file here in this location unless you are familiar with iWeb and its treatment of multiple Domain files.
I am sorry to be the one to tell you this bad news. You have lost the ability to edit the sites you have already published. Unless you have a backup copy of this Domain file laying around somewhere, you only course of action will be to recreate your site from scratch.

Palm Zire 31 sat idle for too long and then my hard drive crashed - I have recovered my palmOne files from the hard drive but don't know how to install to desktop?

Since this product is no longer supported by the manufacturer, I hope that someone out there will be able to help me find a way to get my calendar and contacts restored to the desktop. My handheld sat unused for a very long time, but my desktop calendar and contacts were current up until my hard drive crashed. I was able to recover the PalmOne files from the crashed hard drive but all I can see are *.dat files. When I try to import or restore, the *.dat is not a supported file extension. HELP! I have the original installation CD. Thank you

.dat are the actual working files Palm Desktop is looking for - you can't import them.
Just create a user in Palm Desktop and copy the .dat files (that have more than 1k of data) over the existing address.dat and datebook.dat (or calendar.dat, I forget which existed on your device).

Lost Bridge when hard drive crashed. Restored bridge on new computer. Recovered hard disk using DiskWarrior but cannot rebuild directory due to critical errors. Now need to restore just photos to new computer. Need to know which file in Bridge photos re

After multiple recovery attempts I finally used DiskWarrior to download saved files/folder/applicatiions to external hard drive. I cannot get old version (5.0) of bridge to run. Redownload Bridge (5.1) but still need to recover my photos.
Any advise on how this can be accomplished.

Bridge is only a browser. It does not contain any files. You need to find out where you saved your photos, and hope they are still accessible on the crashed drive... Just copy them over to your new drive.

What Happens When Hard Drive Crashes?

Unfortunately my hard drive sustained a fatal error and had to be formatted. All 4200+ songs and videos in my Itunes library were wiped out, but I still have 'em on my Ipod. Can my library be restored by re-installing the Ipod software and reconnecting my Ipod? Can my purchased songs and videos be recovered as well? Thanks for your help!

I reloaded itunes. I was afraid to plug my ipod into the pc, but when I did, it told me that my ipod was already synced with another computer and could only sync to one. It asked if I wanted to transfer my purchase and I selected yes. It copied my purchases to the new itunes library. Since I have all my files backed up I just jumped right in. It worked fine.

How to recall emails when hard drive crashes

My harddrive crashed and they could save my data and files on it, so they are transferring it to another harddrive. Is there a way to get my emails back.
I have backed up my hard drive about a month before the Harddrive crashed....would there be a file or some way I can recoup them?
Thank you

Thunderbird stores all its data in a [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird Profile folder]. You need to restore that folder from your backup to your new Thunderbird installation.
It looks like you posted your question from Windows 7. You will need to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_where-is-my-profile-stored locate the Thunderbird profile folder in WIndows 7] first. You will find instructions for other operating systems there too.
Once you have located the backed-up profile folder, you can [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_restoring-a-profile-backup restore it to your new installation].

Lost my iTunes movies on old hard drive crash, now have new iMac...how do i get them back?

My old pc hard drive died and decided to get a new IMAC...im able to get all my music, shows, etc but how do I get my movies I purchased on Itunes?
Thanks

Restore them from your backup. It is not possible to re-download purchased movies from the iTunes Store.

I am running xp and the last time I tried to upgrade to Firefox 5 it caused my computer to slow down become unstable and eventually my hard drive crashed.

However I do believe the hard drive had other issues that just might have been further compromised by downloading 5. Talked to a couple of others who have also had bad problems after downloading 5 and that is what really concerns me is that my problem is not isolated. I have just got my computer back up and running and am very concerned about continuing with the 5 upgrade that was automatically downloaded and will be installed the next time I start up. How do I prevent the download from installing upon start up next time until I can get some clearer info on why 5 is causing some problems and can avoid them?

My mother just had this problem. After uninstalling a bunch of search malware, i was still seeing the bing tab come up on start up. The way I fixed this is to delete any shortcuts, remove it from the task bar and the start menu list. It appears this crappy malware modified the firefox and chrome(if installed) shortcuts to open bing.
Of course another way is to modify the shortcuts to remove the link that they added. It was easier for me to remove and just re-pin.
Hopefully that solves your problem too.

The story of iphoto and 2 external hard drives.

My computer storage was filling up fast due to all my photos, so I bought an external HD. The people at the Apple store set it up for me to where my music and my photos are not just backed up by the external but rather are stored on it thus saving space on my computer. Now I have a new external and I want it to work as the old one did. How can I do this myself with out taking both externals to the Apple store? Currently my new external is running through the very first TM back up.

Drag the music and photo libraries to the new drive, launch iTunes and iPhoto with the Option key held down, and point them to that instance of the libraries.

Lost my iPhoto after wiping my hard drive. Please Help...

I do not have the disk that came with my MacBook Pro anymore. Is there anyway of getting back for free or would I have to purchase the application just by itself? (In Addition I have a early 2011 Macbook Pro) Thanks in advance for all the comments and suggestions I may recieve.

Drag & drop iPhoto from the newer Mac to the older one over your network.
