Preinstalled iPhoto, iMovie etc. are gone after Upgrade.

Hello,
I got iPhoto and iMovie included with my MacBook Pro 13 (Early 2011), and I recently have changed my HDD to SSD. My question is how can I get these apps back again? The apps won't appear in Purchases tab in AppStore. I don't have any installation CDs, just a backup partition on my HDD. I also got Time Machine backup to external Drive, but I don't want to restore the whole info from it, just some apps... Also I have bought Space Gremlin from the AppStore - can't see it either. Any way to get the apps back will be great!
Thank you for your time!
Regards,
Viktor

How old is your Mac and is it used?
If your Mac is fairly old and the 10.2 disk that came with the computer was your original System Restore disk, then Tiger must have been purchased separately and Software Update was used later to upgrade to 10.4.10. But the Tiger upgrade would not have included any iApp's. Buying iLife '05 or iLife '06 would be needed to give you all the iLife App's. If you bought or received your Mac used, then someone did not include the Tiger and iLife software packages with it. If this is the case, the only way to recover your programs is to buy iLife.
If your Mac is fairly new, then your System Restore disks should contain Tiger 10.4.? and include all the iLife '06 App's. Again, if you bought or received your Mac used, then you may be missing the original System Restore disks that came with it. If this is the case, the only way to recover your programs is to buy iLife.
Either way, If you do not have a system backup, then the only way to recover your missing App's is to buy iLife. Also, if you want to risk losing Tiger 10.4, do not attempt to run the installation program from the Jaguar 10.2 disk.

All of my pictures from my iPhoto library are gone after upgrading to Mavericks

I just upgraded to Os X Mavericks and now all of my pictures are gone from my iPhoto library, and of course I am unable to access this version of iPhoto on OS X Mavericks.
I tried to find them using a different application or in Finder, and in both cases "iPhoto Library" is in Gray and no contents are available. My system memory doesn't seem to be reflecting the number of photos I have either.
If I go back to my old operating system will it work? If not, I have lost all my pictures since February of 2011. I have been crying nonstop for an hour trying to figure out what to do.

Open the App Store and upgrade iPhoto to the Mavericks version. Installing OS X does not do anything to your iPhoto Library.
The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.

Albums are gone after upgrade from iPhoto 2 to iPhoto5.0.4?

Are you kidding me? I have read everything I can get my hands on, and looked at every 3rd party software. We have over 3.5 GB of photos that I was hoping to import from an older computer. Everytime I tried to import them, I lose all of the album information. I have tried to rebuild the iphoto library. I have checked the permissions of the iphoto library I copied to the desktop. I have tried to open iphoto.db within iphoto (says iphoto does not recognize the file).
Is there anything I can do to retrieve the album data? I have multiple backups that I made on an external HD, so all of the data is complete (I think). I have successfully imported all of the pictures, but the albums are completely gone. This represents months of work, and I can't believe that Apple would be so shortsighted as to leave an upgrade path of the albums out of the software.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Bryan

I know it is frustrating when you do everything right and it still comes out wrong.
I find out that the times when things don't upgrade to perfection is when going from a version 2 library to a couple of versions up.
I went from 1 to 2 to 4 to 5 (there was no 3 ) and my albums were saved each time.
If Albums is the most important thing to you to keep I would suggest making sure every image on the older iPhoto library is in an album. then make sure you don't have images in more than one album.
Next export each album to a folder on the desktop with the name of the album.
Drag those folders in a new library just created open iPhoto viewing window.
Now you albums will be imported as rolls, which can easily be made into albums again.
-Another thing to try and I don't know how keywords transfer in an upgrade, so this is a maybe too:
In the old library, give every image in an album a keyword pertaining to the name of the album. Keywords should be short and you can even give each album a number keyword to identify them.
Now bring the library folder over into the Pictures folder and launch iPhoto.
it should open that library and tell you it needs to be upgraded to work with the new version of iPhoto. Let the upgrade happen and hopefully keywords will be preserved.
Now do a search for keyword is and select all from that search result window and go to File>new album from selection
-another way, and I am not sure on this either,In the old library name all the images in each album with the album name and a number appended. I know you can do this easily in iPhoto 5 with the batch change function. I don't think version 2 had this though.
Then when the library is transferred and upgraded you can do a search for the album name, then select all and do File> new album from selected images.
This is all speculation on my part because I don't have a version 2 iPhoto and library to test with.
i hope one of the suggestions might help you.

Stored Scripts are gone after upgrade from 1.5 to 2.0

Upgraded from 1.5 to 2.0 and there are now problems with the "SQL Scripts" in SQL Workshop:
1. SQL scripts appear to have gone missing - over 200 from one workspace. I checked the WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ table in 2.0 and they are not in there.
2. All the scripts have a long number added to the start of the name, and sometimes the SQL extension has a "1" added as well.
ie. 2100803509045739_CreateAuthFunction.sql1 (should be CreateAuthFunction.sql). Again checked WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ table and they are stored as .sql1
3. Some Control Scripts are there but the contents appear to have changed - this may be because they're no longer needed - not sure.
I saw a thread with a similar issue that suggested clearing IE temp files but this does not help. Any help appreciated.

My bookmarks are gone after upgrading to Windows 8.1, WHY?!

I upgraded to Windows 8.1 yesterday and now my EXTENSIVE bookmark library is GONE! I tried finding the backup file in the profile folder of the Mozilla, but there is no backup file from before the update. Please help!

hello, you might want to inspect your harddrive for traces of your old profile folder: [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
i don't know how and from which OS you have upgraded but that may have involved a reformat of your harddrive. in this case you cannot restore your prior bookmarks without an available backup...

All bought titles and albums gone after upgrading I Tunes

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

My iPhoto pictures are all gone after upgrade to Photos

Can anyone please help!!! All my pictures from iPhoto are all gone after upgraded to Photos tonight. Anyone know how I can recover them?

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
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.

Widgets gone after upgrade to 10.4.8

Hi
I upgraded my system after a security update prompted me to do so. When it was all done, my computer was completley different - the two main things that bother me is that:
1. almost all my widgets, even the standard mac ones (weather, dictionary etc), are gone, no where to be found, not even online.
2. idvd and dvd studio pro don't have templates anymore, for menues and buttons.
can anyone explain what happened, but most of all - what should i do???
Thanks

I have iPhone 4S and I can't download iPhoto, iMovie etc. For free. Why?

I have iPhone 4S and I can't download iPhoto, iMovie etc. For free. Why? When iOS7 went out it should be free. Iike it was said at keynote. I can't even download it on other iP5

It's free if you bought iPhone, iPad, iPod touch after 1st of Nov. Sept 2013
GarageBand is free on the App Store for all iOS 7 compatible devices; additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available with an in-app purchase. iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 7 compatible devices activated on or after September 1, 2013. See www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/ for iOS 7 compatible devices. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.

ALL pictures in iPhoto *and* PhotoBooth are gone :( please help

Hello,
I have a bit of a dilema here. On 6-27-07 (actually 6-28 cause it was after midnight), my daughter and I were taking pictures in photobooth. I selected the iPhoto icon from the PhotoBooth picture to send a copy of those pictures to iPhoto.
PhotoBooth froze up after doing several of them and wouldn't work. I am trying to remember from memory (which is swiss cheese from the MS), but I think I had to do a hard shut down. When I tried to go to iPhoto, it acted like it was my 1st time using it and it began asking me questions as if I was setting it up for the 1st time. ALL pictures are GONE. Everything in iPhoto and PhotoBooth are GONE I don't know what I did or how (if I can) to fix it.
Can anyone possibly help me? Lots of precious memories gone. I was recently going to read how to do a back-up right before this happened. Now I wish I hadn't gone to sleep that night until I learned how to do it and actually did make a back-up
My husband called Apple and they told him to do something and now that has created approximately 3 copies of random pics and not all of them, or I would just delete the extras. My husband may have done something wrong to have it make extra copies of the pictures it has now, I don't know.
My husband didn't seem like he was happy with the help that he was getting at the time. So, I found my way here again!!! I have been to the discussions boards once before, but I forgot how to get here (serious swiss cheese memory from MS). I have to save ALL websites that I like to my favorites or I should say 'Bookmarks' or I will probably never find it again. <embarassed>
**I will tell you a little about me and the use of my mac....... I have Multiple Sclerosis so my husband purchased the lap top to make it easier for me to get online and not be stuck to one chair which makes me hurt bad. I am new to Mac and have always used a PC.
Anyway, when we purchased it we explained that I would mainly be using it for Internet use and for the pictures that I take (I am disabled, so that is about all I can do but I thoroughly enjoy it), which happens to be more than the average person since I have a new Grandson
Any help that anyone can give me, I would TRULY APPRECIATE!!!!!!
Thanks,
New2Him

Brenda,
You're quite welcome.
That does sound like your original library. It makes sense to me; your husband was probably told to drag it to the Desktop by the Apple help desk person. Look inside your Pictures folder for the other two iPhoto Library folders. If you don't find them there, do another Finder Search. Click once on a found item in the Search window to see its path at the bottom of that window. That should help you locate those folders.
After you find and rename or delete the other libraries, you will be ready to create a new library. (You might not want to delete those other folders yet - in case some photos are missing from your main library. But if you are sure that nothing in them is original, go ahead and Trash them to free up the space.)
To create a new library, Option-launch iPhoto and click "Create Library." By default it will be located in your Pictures folder and named "iPhoto Library." You can change the name if you want - say, "iPhoto Library New" before you click "Save." A new, empty library will open. Drag the right corner of the window up so that it fills only about half of your screen. Do iPhoto > Preferences > Advanced and make sure that there IS a check in the boxes beside "Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when importing to library" and "Add ColorSync Profile".
On the other half of your screen, open a Finder window. Set it to column view and navigate this path: Desktop/ iPhoto Library/ Originals/ 2007/ (Film Roll folders). It is these Film Roll folders that contain your photos. Select all of the Roll folders and drag them as a group over the iPhoto window until the cursor shows you a green plus symbol. Drop them in the main viewing area of the iPhoto window. iPhoto will indicate to you that it is importing. A film roll will be created for each folder that you dragged. [Tip: if you want an Album to represent each film roll, then drag them to the Source Pane (left column) instead of the main viewing window. This will create an Album and a film roll, both with the same name as the imported folder.]
I have read that the film roll date can be wrong after importing, so you may want to check the dates as you go. Open the Info Pane in the lower left corner of the iPhoto window (click the little i). When you select a Roll, its info will display in the Info Pane. You can edit the Roll's title and date, if you wish.
When the 2007 rolls have all been imported, switch to the Originals/ 2006 folder, select the roll folders, and drag to your iPhoto window. Repeat for each year in your Desktop library.
This will recover your Original, unedited photos in the same film rolls as before. What cannot be saved is your Albums, Slideshows, Books, titles, keywords, ratings, and other metadata. These were contained in the database file that was damaged during the iPhoto hang or subsequent hard shut down.
If you had spent significant time editing your photos, then you may want to have a look in Desktop/ iPhoto Library/ Modified to see if you wish to save any of the edited versions. There is no way to reconnect the edits with their Originals; that info was also stored in the database file. But if you want to import them to your library you may. Be aware that this will cause the appearance of duplication, much like you had in the library your husband created. If you can part with your edited versions, then it is much easier to discard them. (If not, be selective.)
I'll look forward to hearing your progress. Regards,
Shelly

- You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
- Have you tried everthing here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You should
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Your library/media will not be affected.
- Does the iPod charge?

I synced my iPod to a new music folder and now all of my games (Klondike, Vortex, etc) are gone - how do I get them back?

Aren't those the default games that come with the iPod Classic? If so, they won't be in your iTunes library, but only on your iPod Classic itself as they are built in the iPod's software.
