Need to reinstall iPhoto 6

I had purchased iPhoto '08 and when I installed it I realized that some of the book and calendar themes were missing (i.e. baby girl & boy). So, I have several questions...
1. Can I have iPhoto 6 and '08 both installed on my computer? If so, how? I noticed that I had my old version of iMovie still on my computer after installing iLife '08.
2. If I can't have both installed, how can I install iPhoto 6? I don't have the iLife '06 disk. My computer came with it already installed. I inserted the software disk the computer came with but iPhoto 6 was greyed out and had the word "skip" next to it. I couldn't check the box to install it.
Thanks for reading.

Yes you can have both installed, but it takes a little bit of jiggling to do it.
Ut first, have you a copy of your v6 library. v6 cannot open a v7 library, so unless you have a v6 library (on a back up?) the operations' rather pointless. Post back and let us know and we can proceed from there.

Need to Reinstall Iphoto

Hi, On my Macbook I did a reinstall of Mac OS X Snow Leopard and my Iphoto, I movie and Garage band are missing.. My version of Snow Leopard is 10.6.8.. I can't find anywhere where I can just reinstall Iphoto from scratch.. Everything just shows as updates. Also, In the app store, I had purchased I Movie 11 and when I try to reinstall that it says I need Operating system 10.7 or better. But when I try and search for updates it says my computer is up to date with software at its current vesrion of 10.6.8... Any suggestions, especially on the Iphoto would be greatly appreciated..

Use the disks that came with your MacBook. It should look like one of these:

Need to reinstall iphoto, apple reinstalled mac os x and it's gone

I had to go to the apple store and have my mac os x reinstalled. Now I don't have iphoto or garage band on my computer. Can someone please tell me how to get them back? I tried downloading iphoto from downloads but it said no eligable iphoto was found in application folder. any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. I need my iphoto lol

These should be on the software install disks that came with your computer. Otherwise you'll need to purchase the iLife package. There is no way to download the apps.

I reinstalled iPhoto but events did not update

I reinstalled iPhoto because I didn't like the photos app. When I did, the events did not update--the last one was April 12. I downloaded my photo stream, thinking that that would get me my most current events, but I just have a mess of photos. How can I get events to recognize everything after April 12?

Details needed
1 - what exactly did you do? There is no need to reinstall iPhoto as it is no removed by the OS upgrade - you just launch it form the LaunchPad or the application s folder and use it as before
2 - what updates did you expect? If you have imported photos into the Photos application then iPhoto knows nothing about them - you have to import them to iPhoto too
3 - Nothing has changed with PhotoStream what exactly are you seeing?

Need to reinstall my system, how do I backup iPhoto library?

I have a very large iPhoto library and now need to reinstall my system. I dodn't want to loose the library but how can I make a save backup that I can import later again?

Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. The disk should be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) This will make a copy on that disk.
Test this to make sure it works. Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and open the copied Library.
Really, the amazing thing is that you say you have a "very large library" and claim you don't want to lose it but you don't already have a back up?

How Do I Reinstall iPhoto after Upgrading to Snow Leopard

hi, I recently did a clean install to Snow Leopard on my macbook Pro. Everything went smoothly other than apparently I need to add the iphoto back on to my mac. I DO have the original discs 1 & 2 that came with my macbook pro. Would someone be so kind as to walk me through how I would reinstall iPhoto, iDVD, etc. I have read some posts that say use disc 1 others say use disc 2..... so I am confused and don't want to do anything incorrectly. THANKS a million.

The programs for iLife are on your system restore DVD, Insert and opt to 'Install Bundled Applications Only.

Do I need to reinstall Lion because my iPhone stopped being recognized by...

Do I REALLY need to reinstall Lion because my iPhone stopped being recognized by Image Capture, Aperture and iPhoto but still shows up in iTunes?
I was on the phone with Apple Support with 5 different Advisors for more than 3 hrs today and we were not able to resolve the problem (yet). Although the problem is frustrating, it's always kind of a pleasure chatting with the Advisors. (I said kinda)
Approx 2 weeks ago, iPhoto, Aperture and Image Capture all stopped recognizing my iPhone. Oddly, iTunes has no problem recognizing the iPhone. Here are just a few of the things we tried but didn't get the apps to see the iPhone again:
- Removed and deleted all photos on camera roll using a windows machine
- Removed all other photos synced between my iMac and iPhone
- Made sure an image existed on the camera roll
- Recorded some video on iPhone and then tried to get iMovie to recognize device
- Restored (gulp) the device followed by a restore from back-up
- Restored again (double gulp) but this time to factory settings and kept the device as a "new iPhone"
- Logged on as different users
and on and on.
Also, after noting that my machine refused to send a systems report to my Sr Advisor (Jimmy) at Apple, he suggests we re-install Lion (ack). But when we went to access the Recovery Partition we realized it wasn't there.
No recovery partition?
Not sending system reports to Apple?
Several Apps not seeing iPhone while others are recognizing the device?
So now I wait for Lion to arrive on one of those nifty Apple thumb drives for me to try re-installing ;-(
The following screen grab shows my iPhone in iTunes but not recognized by Image Capture. URGH!

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

How do I reinstall iPhoto 08 if I got the upgrade based on purchase date?

Based on the purchase date of my macbook pro I got the update from iLife 06 to iLife 08 for free. All was fine, until I upgraded to Leopard via archive and install. Now I need to reinstall iLife (iPhoto seems fine, but iMovie is complaining about missing components) but since I only have disks for 06 (System Restore) I'm not sure how to go about updating again to 08.
Is there some link, or will Software Update automatically figure it out based on some Apple VooDoo?
Or can I get new disks from an Apple store if I show them my receipt with purchase date on it?
Thanks!

Hah, reply to myself. Looking back at the receipt, apparently I ordered on Aug 9 and it shipped Aug 11. So the system ended up with the 'new build' on it from the beginning because of the timing between order and ship.
That's why I couldn't remember how I got the upgrade - I was concerned about whether or not I'd have to do the $10 upgrade "uptodate" program, but the lag worked in my favor and the new version was bundled.
I just re-installed iMovie and its version 7.0 (which is correct for iLife 08, less some subsequent updates).
Move along, nothing to see here....

Want to reinstall iPhoto only

Hi all,
okay, I'm an idiot (and A Luddite to boot). I did something stupid and short story is I have uninstalled iPhoto 4.0.3 from OS 10.3.9. I've tried dragging a working copy from another disk but no luck. Can anyone recommend a reasonably straightforward way that I might reinstall iPhoto only so I can save everything else I have on my drive?
Thanks,
Steve L.

Use Pacifist to locate, extract and install iPhoto from the disk that it came on with your computer.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created Automator workflow applications (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 5 and earlier and 6 and later and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can I delete and reinstall iPhoto?

There is an issue with the new operating system and iPhoto when creating a book, how do I delete and reinstall iPhoto?

drag the iPhoto application to the trash and
reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first
However it would be a good idea to tell us what is going one - most likely you need to fix your library not reinstall the application - it is rare to need to reinstall the Application

Trying to reinstall iPhoto 6 after multiple crashes

After numerous crashes of iPhoto 6 (and reporting crashes to Apple via the pop-up box until my fingers fell off), I finally decided to back-up all my photos, delete and reinstall iPhoto 6. To do so, I did a spotlight search for anything with iPhoto in the name and then deleted all items I could find. I finally came down to a Library6.iphoto file, but when clicking on the i button in spotlight, only a dashed line ghost rectangle appeared. It had no location name, the date created and modified was Dec. 1903 and other useless information. How can I get rid of this program, that is says is still present, but I can't find it anywhere to delete it. I dont' want to re-install iPhoto 6, with this ghost running around.

ExpressMan:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I've gotten those ghosts files from time to time and they haven't given me troubles. Here's what I recommend:
1 - launch Disk Utility and repair disk permissions and verify the disk.
2 - be sure all files with iPhoto in the file name are out of the HD/Library/Redeipts folder if you haven't already done so.
3 - install iPhoto 6 and then run the following updaters in this order:
a - 6.0.4
b- 6.0.5
c - 6.0.6
I suggest you downloade them from the Download page (see the Download button at the top of this page) and run them from your HD instead of Software Update.
4- run Disk Utility again and repair disk permissions.
Also be sure you're running Quicktime 7.1.5.
Restarting your computer may get rid of that ghost file. But I wouldn't worry about it.

If I upgrade to Lion from Leopard will I need to reinstall all my programs?

I have a bunch of photo & video editing software as well as some other things such as parallels on installed on my computer. I really don't want to have to reinstall everything all over again. I've tried to search this question, but I'm having one of those "technically challenging" days. For some reason, I can find everything about Lion except this.... I'd really love to upgrade, but if I need to reinstall everything, I don't have time to do right now.
Thanks so much!

You can upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.5 should run under 10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/
To upgrade your iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store if you have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly As for programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

well PhillyPhan, I can't tell that you're better looking just by your iphoto icon, now can I? Although it is a lovely sunset you've got there.
Thanks for your response to my question, I see your point and will do that, however, I have another folder that was created before I had a Mac, which has all sorts of lovely titles and labels and some of those pictures I brought over to my ibook when I first started. So there are some duplicates in my iphoto library that I already have backed up in that other folder. I guess I shouldn't really obsess about those. I guess I am just nervous about deleting all my prior iphoto library, but I should have faith that it will all be there in my pictures library. Just trying to clean up the virtual mess.
I'll hold my breath and take the plunge.
Thanks!

Reinstalling iphoto 5 from iphoto 6

Can anyone give me a basic step-by-step process on how to reinstall iphoto 5 after upgrading to 6? I've removed the application to finder's trash and did the same to iphoto 602 package. Still won't let me reinstall iphoto 5 though. Am I missing anything? Can't find detailed instructions anywhere.
Thanks

Got it. Missed the iphoto package itself. Does raise a question for me: I've read that some people keep copies of different versions of their ilife applications (iphoto 4 and 5) on their computer by renaming the application. Does that mean copies of the packages need to be renamed as well? Anybody have experience with this with iphoto or any of the other ilife applications?
