Lost iPhoto in Application List

I accidentally removed iPhoto from my Dock. When I went in to my Applications to put it back, iPhoto wasn't there. Also when I try to use iPhoto to view my pics, it's not there for me to open anything with. Do I need to re-install it or is there another way?

IF it’s not there then you’ll need to re-install it.
But first, lets see if it’s gone:
GO you your Pictures Folder and you’ll see the iPhoto Library. Double click on it. If iPhoto is on your machine it will launch.
Assuming it doesn’t:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applcations Folder to the trash)
2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
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...’

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 its 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??

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 you can find it in your Purchases List.

I've lost iPhoto

Whilst updating Tiger to 10.4.4 I seem to have lost iPhoto. It's not in my applications folder and spotlight can't find it. Why is this and more importantly how do I get it back?

Hi. Apple do have a strange way of "fixing" this problem. There way is to install Panther back again, this will install all your original apps., THEN select "upgrade" in the installation list. See: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270 as to why. Everyone else uses "Pacifist's" wonder program which lets you "see" the programs on your original install disk(s). See: http://www.charlessoft.com/ — using this program will let you install only the apps. you require. Don't be concerned about using it - it is very easy! (Even for me)! Hope this helps. Best wishes, Robert.

I've lost Iphoto and have deleted the original files - help!!

I have just bought a new WD My Book Studio external hard drive to store all my photo's and free up space on my imac. I moved all the files to the EHD checked to see they were there - checked my back up other EHD to see that they were there then deleted them. I have just come back to view the pics on my WD EHD and all I have is a blank page with a turned down corner called iphoto labraryand no folder - this is the same on my other back up EHD. When I try to open them it says there is no application to open them with. Have I lost all my photo's? 354gb (the info on the page says theat amount is there) and how do I get them back? The iphoto icon at the bottom of my desktop has turned into a question mark too.....Please help!! Thanks you My Mac is OSX Version 10.9.2

What format are these external drives?
It sounds like you have deleted the iPhoto Application.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
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 or later 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.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

I have lost iPhoto off my iMac OSX 10.7

I lost iphoto in my macbook

hello
i lost iphoto application and all the data on my macbook
with serial no.W8******4R1
<Edited By Host>

If you purchased the machine new and it had OS X 10.7 or 10.8 on it, then you will have to talk to Apple because basically it's another machine as you likely had your logicboard switched, thus it has a different serial number and all AppStore software is copy protected and tied to your AppleID.
If your machine originally came with 10.4, 10.5, or 10.6, then you can try to see if those installers will work as the iLife is on the disks, or you can use Pacifist from Charlesoft to extract the apps and put them on your machine, then Software Update so the versions are current.

I replaced my hard drive and lost iPhoto. Is there a way to retrieve? I can not find the starter discs that came with my Macbook Pro.

Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. You can purchase replacement discs from Apple.
Or, you can upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion:
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
B. Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Lost iphoto, imovie & garageband after restore

I restored my macbook and lost iphoto, imovie & garageband. I have a late 2011 Macbook pro which came with no ilife disc so i can't use that

Lost the Memo application

Tungsten T5
Windows Desktop (XP)
USB Hotsyncing
I have been doing Hotsync for years and today, I found out I just lost the Memo Application. It's nowhere to be found and in the Info folder, I can't even find it listed (e.g.. VersaMail is shown to have taken up 1216 K memory) implying it does not even exist in my T5. I tried to Hotsync with my Desktop but it stopped at Memos for more than 90 minutes. The Log did not register the Hotsyncing at all. Is there a way of recovering the lost data in Memos. I have a very bad feeling about this. Can anyone help? I am desperate!
Post relates to: Tungsten T5

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community. Sorry to read about your stress.
Memos is a core application of the Palm Operating System, so if it is gone from your handheld then something has become corrupt or you managed to delete a critical file.
The only way to restore the Memos application will be to perform a Hard Reset. This will erase all data from the T5 and restore a fresh copy of the Palm OS including all of the core applications such as Memos. The downside to this is that all Memos which were on the handheld will be gone...so, if you don't have a copy of them on your desktop, then they are probably gone. But, the upside is that if you had a previously good Hotsync and a copy of your Memos resides on your desktop, then they will be restored when you first Hotsync after the Hard Reset.
This article discusses the various types of Reset for different Palm devices:

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

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!

Hi I newly started using Iphone 6, I am not getting all the applications list under Use Cellular date for to restrict my unwanted apps on cellular data
Please help me out

Hi Rajesh778484,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that some of your applications are not appearing under Settings > Cellular on your iPhone so that you can restrict or allow use of cellular data. If you have some installed applications on your iPhone that are not showing here, the first troubleshooting step I would suggest would be to reset your iPhone. Please refer to the attached article for information on how to perform a reset.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Best regards,
