Need to restore iPhoto - don't know where from...
I recently had to do an erase and install of OS X (10.4) on my iMac (flat screen G4/700). I didn't even think about iPhoto, because I assumed that it would be reinstalled when I put the OS back on. No such luck. My problem now is that I don't know where my version of iPhoto came from originally, so that I can try to reinstall it. I never purchased iLife, so I'm fairly sure that it came on the computer or with one of the OS X versions that I purchased along the way. I still have the original OS X install (and hardware restore) discs (10.1.4) that came with my iMac. In addition, I have the original retail Jaguar 10.2 discs as well as the Tiger 10.4 discs. I can't find the option to install iPhoto on any of them when I boot from the install disc and try to only install bundled software or do a customized install. Does anyone out there know where my original iPhoto came from, what version it was, and where I might find it to reinstall??
Thanks to all for the prompt and effective recommendations. I used Pacifist on my 10.2 Install discs and got iPhoto installed. Now my problem is that it is version 1.1.1. I know that I was using a newer version than that... Maybe I purchased an upgrade along the way? Could that have been possible? Is there any way to upgrade to version 2 or 4?? Are there upgrades on the Tiger install discs? I read on some other boards that Apple offered Version 2 as a download to those that had purchased Macs and had version 1 on them...??? Any knowledge about this? I have run Software Update and it says that there are no updates available for any of my software... Did I need to install an entire package from the install discs? I only installed the iPhoto app. Maybe the updater isn't seeing my iPhoto version?
Thanks.

Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is to do so. Putting my Mac Pro onto icloud synching contacts resulted in duplicate and triplicates of the same cards. I have a few THOUSAND contacts and the last time this happened was on mobile me. that had a function where you could replace info on the mobile me server with info on the computer. I see no way to do that on the new cloud.

Hey guys,
I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally. -
my iPhone 3g has 2 white horizontal lines i don't know where did it came from. I turn it off then on but its still there. the lines spreads everyday. I dont know how to fix it. need some help guys.
If you take a screenshot (Press the home button and Lock button at the same time), does it appear on the screenshot? Zoom in on the screenshot and see if it's still there.
If not, then your display is failing. I would recommend taking it to an Apple Store if you can, if you can't then to an authorised Apple reseller.
If it does appear on the screenshot when you zoom into the spot, then it's a really weird software issue! You might have to backup and restore the device.
Let me know!

I have uploaded an old itunes library by mistake - any way that I can go back to my previous library. Unable to do a system restore and I don't know where to find an up to date music/playlist file. I was originally trying to recover a playlist that vanished after I had updated one of the ipads, did an online search, followed the instructions only to discover that I had loaded an itunes library from 2 years ago. Stupidly I thought that it had updated itself and didn't realise I had to do it. Any he
See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash. Hopefully you have a more recent library file that you can restore.

my iphone has been water damaged and in the mean time ive gone back to using my old phone. But i need to get all the contacts from my iphone i had synced to my laptop, but i don't know where to find them and im not sure if ive backed them up to anything!
If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select? -

am trying to restore my Ipod touch 5 generation but I am receiving an error message that says your Ipod can not be restored you need your password I don't know my password so I don't know what to do. I have started the procedures 3 times but no luck till now
If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation -

don't know what to do after that. Thanks for any help!!Before updating, import all you photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or another service such as Google, with a supported application such as Outlook or Address Book, or using an app like My Contacts Backup.

Hi, how do I manage storage? Disk Utility says “other” is taking up most of my storage but I don’t know where to find “other". Please help!
For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper 2>&-
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective 2>&-
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal. -
Having both a degenerative neurological condition and a large collection of Mac computers I decided I have to get rid of a lot of them and simplify my life.
I don't know where to start or which forum to post in but I am seeking help and suggestions to many mac ownership problems and decisions.
Multiple sclerosis seriously impedes my ability to rationalise and make decisions about many things so sorting out my extensive Apple history could be a potential nightmare for me so I am seeking some help from Apple enthusiasts and gurus.
I have an extensive collection of macs going back over 30 years and software to match.
I need to rationalise my life as it's become to complicated for me to deal with.
So where do I start front or back ?
I have decide to keep my imac 20" G5 and my Intel imac although slightly faulty.
I tend to archive onto other external and internal 500 gig hard discs.
I am currently backing up my entire CD music collections via itunes and storing them as 16 bit WAV or AAIF on two computers.
Of course it would have been easier if I had known how to do it to one hard disk and transferred and converted files for other computers.
Do you know how long it takes to rip over 200 CDs
I have decided to keep my one or two of G4 1.25 Ghz PPC as they have dual boot capability.
I also have a sonnet G4 3.4 Dual upgrade and I would like to see classic zoom.
I have decided I will get rid on my Dual Wind-tunnel as it's just to noisy.
I will also keep my one of 9600's power macs as I also have a G4 processor upgrade but what OS ?
I also have some serious memory chips and can fill it with 1.5 Gig if need be ?
I am tempted to keep a pizza box Centris or Quadra or even one of the older versions.
I also have nubus and 603e upgrades somewhere.
I think I may only keep one of my classic type computers.
Is it the original mac plus with external CD and HD and FDD ?
So if someone would like to help me please say so.First off my page* http://www.macmaps.com/selling.html
offers tips if you should choose to get rid of or sell certain machines. People knowledgeable about pre-G3 Macs are here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/older_hardware
and older software here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/older_software
>Do you know how long it takes to rip over 200 CDs
Average rip time is anywhere between 6 and 10 times faster than the actual run time of the CD if you are talking 192 kbps MP3. Less time the less you have to compress.
>I will also keep my one of 9600's power macs as I also have a G4 processor upgrade but what OS ?
Mac OS 9.1 is the best operating system for all PowerPC Macs that have upgrade cards that have PowerPC chips. http://www.macsales.com/ may have additional info on if a higher end operating system is available for a specific upgrade card.
>Is it the original mac plus with external CD and HD and FDD ?
The original Mac Plus could take an external SCSI CD and 7.5.5 according to:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_classic/stats/mac_plus.html
which suggests the internal floppy might be upgradeable to DS/DD floppy seeing as 7.1 came on larger floppy disks. The older hardware forum mentioned above can tell you what can be done with it. Hope that helps. -

The 4G/iOS 6 does not have an Activation Lock. That started with iOS 7.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
