Lost iPhoto app

Where is my iPhoto 9.6 app. Updated to Yosemite yesterday and upgraded iPhoto but app does not show in Applications folder. Does not show in a Spotlight search. BUT, when I open an iPhoto library in Picturtes, it works and shows up. So where is the app itself hiding?

When iPhoto is running, you can ctrl-click the iPhoto icon in the Dock. You should be seeing a dark dot beside the icon, indication that iPhoto is running. Ctrl-click or right click the icon and select "Options > Show in Finder".

  • Lost iphoto app on phone

    Has anyone had the experience of their iphone app just disappearing? that's what happened to me. I'd love to know if you had this problem and resolved it your self.  thanks

    iPhoto or Photo app? Do a Spotlight search for the app you think you are missing. It's probably just moved to another screen or ended up inside a folder.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone help?

    After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone please help? I am not an advanced user and I would like my photos back, having had no idea I would lose iPhoto in the upgrade!

    Thanks petermac87...but for some reason, the only purchases showing are OS. So assuming iPhoto is in Mountain Lion, I was hoping to look under Hidden Items there as you suggested, but there is no option for that. Only option is to download Mountain Lion again, not iPhoto specifically. Any ideas welcome!

    I'm using OS Extended 10.9.5.  I don't know what the original version of iPhoto was.

    Have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader? You need to direct it to the location of your old iPhoto Library by clicking the "Choose Library" button in the lower right corner of the panel you are seeing when the upgrade starts.

    iPhoto just froze so I Force Quit the iPhoto app and now I have lost half my (hundreds) of photos. How do I restore them?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

    My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

    We'll need to know more to beable to help. Do you want to try to restore your photos from your iPhone to your Mac, or try to recover the photos from the old iPhoto Library on your Mac?
    What is the situation of your Mac now? In hat way did it crash? A hardware problem with the drive? Does the system not start properly? Does iPhoto not launch? Do you still have the iPhoto Library on your mac or a backup, so we could try to rescue the photos there?
    What versions of iPhoto are on your iPhone and your Mac?
    however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?
    On the iPhone you cannot access the "package contents" - IOS hides the file system from the users. To restore photos from your phone share all iPhoto photos to your Camera Roll, that are not already in the Camera Roll,  and then connect the iPhone via USB and import the Camera Roll to iPhoto or Image Capture. Or use any of the other sharing methods described on thos manual page: see:  Ways to share photos http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnk7d8f763e
    To retrieve photos from a corruptrd iPhoto Library on your Mac we need to know the version number and more about the "crash" you experienced, the state of your mac, the system, the data. Please post back with more details.

    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/
    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.

  • I seem to have lost my iPhoto App? How can I reload?

    I have lost my iPhoto app. How can I reload it?
    If I use my app disk that came with the computer... will I lose any data in the process?

    The app and the library are two separate entities.  What version of iPhoto  were you running? Do you have Time Machine?  If so just go back in time in the Applications folder and restore the iPhoto application from the last backup that included it.
    If your Mac Pro came with Snow Leopard or earlier pre installed then use the disks that came with the Mac to do a custom install of iPhoto.  Then update iPhoto to the version you were using.
    If Lion came preinstalled on your Mac go to the App Store, log ing with the Apple ID that was used to purchase your Mac Pro, go to purchases and download iPhoto.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    This is normal. OS X doesn't come with iLife apps, so you have to reinstall them after reinstalling Mac OS X.
    If your Mac came without DVDs or you purchased it after July 2011, you have to install the iLife applications from the Mac App Store. Open the Mac App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and download GarageBand, iMovie and iPhoto free of charge.
    If your Mac came with DVDs and you didn't purchase the iLife apps in the Mac App Store, insert the Applications DVD and install the iLife apps. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest iLife applications version

  • I have lost iPhoto off my iMac OSX 10.7

  • Lost iphoto, cant install again

    I have lost iphoto, it is no where to be found and some kind soul from here advised me to reinstall. I cant. Help, please
    Heres what I tried:
    Installation disk 1- it restarts as it should. Then I get a window that says welcome to Mac 0s x. There are a variety of choices including "read before you install and also install mac os x". I click on that one. Then I go around again with the restart and the exact same list of choices.
    On disk 2 I select the additional application pkg, get an installation window and select the HD as my destination. Then I get the following msg
    “A newer version of “Additional Applications” (version 1.0.0.6.547) already exists on the volume “HD”
    This software does not allow older versions to be installed on top of newer versions
    so I Cancel
    Since I am wondering where the additional applications are I ask the FIND to locate them for me. Apparently there arent any because FInd cant find them.
    I am wondering exactly what my problem is and do I need professional help.
    I tried the disk utility program to verify and repair permissions and got 200 pages of information (example :Permissions differ on ./Applications/Internet Explorer.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Help/Images/Icon_folder.gif, should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are -rwxrwxrwx
    Owner and group corrected on ./Applications/Internet )
    Thanks for any assistance, I like iphoto and want it back
    Kathy Gueldenzopf

    Thank you silly rabbit but I still have trouble. I did install Pacifist and everything looked fine BUT There is an Iphoto icon in my hd/ applications and it says it’s an application(as opposed to folder,document). When I click on it it looks like it is open just for a couple of seconds i see the rainbow spinner then switches back to finder or the open application.
    I threw it all out (Pacifist) and emptied the trash. I restarted and installed it again. Then I installed IPhoto again. Looks good, its in the applications and clicking on it brings it up to appear to be an open application. I see edit (rotate, arrange photos, set title, etc.)
    I connect camera Iphoto opens, looks good
    tell it to import photos and it quits there was a msg but I didnt get it
    I undid the camera and shut down and restarted.Iphoto flashes in the finder then nothing
    iphoto is in application folder--i checked -but when I click on it it just flashes again and goes right back to finder
    Now I install Panther (10.3.9) figuring it will install IPhoto since nothing else did. Here"s what happened:
    click on iphoto and it asks if I want iphoto to open when I attach the camera YES
    attach camera------nothing detach
    attach camera iphoto opens
    click on import
    iphoto unexpectedly quits detach camera
    attachc camera iphoto opens
    click on import
    iphoto unexpectedly quits detach camera
    Can someoone give me some idea of what I should do??
