Re-install of IPhoto

I had to do a clean insatll of Lion. When i bought my iMac (with Lepard) I had iPhoto pre-installed on it. Now it is gone.How do i go about getting it back???

Look for the disks that came with your iMac.  There will be a Applications Install Disk with a install package named Install Bundled Software.mpkg.  Launch that installer and do a custom install of the iApps that you want.
The disk will look like one of these:

  • Unable to COMPLETE install of iPhoto 09 on Power PC G4 - specs OK

    I have a very old PowerPc G4 (512RAM), 1,25Ghz, OS X 10.5.8 which my kids use for their photos.
    I am unable to complete the install of iPhoto 09 from the iLife 09 update disc I purchased in the late 2000's.
    The disc works perfectly and I get as far as slecting the drive on which I want to install iPhoto. I hit the install button and the beachball appears for 5 seconds or so, then diappears and the install stops. I can hit install again and the process repeats itself but it is not updating the program.
    The reason for doing this is to transfer a my iPhoto 09 library over to this machine instead of re-importing the photos and having to recreate the albums / events.
    iLife 08 is installed and working.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Try using   Pacifist to install iPhoto and it's supporting files from the iLife 09 disk.  I would move your current iPhoto application to the Desktop until you know the install was successful and it operates as expected.

  • I needed idvd, but since my iMac is newer, I didn't have idvd on it. I installed iLife 11. I should not have installed the iPhoto part because it was 9.1 and my iMac was 9.2. So now my iPhoto wouldn't work. I went to iPhoto Library organizer.

    I needed iDvd, but since my iMac is newer, I didn't have iDvd on it. I installed iLife 11. I shouldn't have installed the iPhoto part because now my iPhoto wouldn't work since iLife 11 was 9.1 and my iMac had 9.2. So I used iPhoto Library Manager to create a new library. That was working, but my computer ran out of hard drive room since my original iPhoto had 137 GB of photos. My new iPhoto library had the majority of my pics and the iPhoto now worked with those pics. But now I still had all of those original pics in my hard drive. I thought that by getting rid of the original iPhoto on the iPhoto Library Manager I would get rid of all of those original pics. I now have no access to them but they are in my hard drive and I can't do much with my iMac because it is all clogged up with those original pics - I think. How do I get rid of my original iPhoto pics out of my hard drive?

    What system are you running?  If it's Mt. Lion go to the App Store and sign in with the Apple ID you used to purchase the Mac.  Go to Purchases and download iPhoto again. The current version is 9.4.3.
    If you're unable to download iPhoto from the App Store you can reomstall iPhoto from the iLife 11 disk and  update it from the Apple Downloads website  to the highest version you can get to (I was able to update all the way to 9.4.3 via the updaters). Then if iPhoto can't open the library  use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild it and it will rebuild it compatible with your version of iPhoto via this iPLM tutorial: Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager Help - Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto

  • My iphoto wont open since i updated my mac, please help? it says i need to install an iphoto library upgrader which I have installed but still cant see my photos.

    my iphoto wont open since i updated my mac, please help? it says i need to install an iphoto library upgrader which I have installed but still cant see my photos.

    What version of iPhoto are you using? 9.6 is the current version.
    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • After installing aperture, iPhoto won't open

    After installing Aperture, iPhoto says it needs to be updated to open. When I run the updater, it says everything is up to date. Suggestons? thanks, Kevin

    Did iPhoto come preinstalled on your Mac? Then you need to upgrade it from the AppStore, not from the Update menu.

  • HT5037 I have installed the iPhoto Library upgrade, which confirms it was successfully installed, however when ever I try to open iPhoto 11, it refers me back to the bloody library upgrade again, so I can't use iPhoto any more.

    Thanks, it worked first time that  I double clicked as you suggested. 
    Why do Apple make it so hard to upgrade some programs?  They could make the follow through instructions a lot clearer.
    Now I have it open-  it works and.....................  it does look pretty neat.

    Downloaded iPhoto from App store and all now back working again.

  • After reinstall my lion. I can't install the iPhoto.

    it's the new model of macbook air. include the ilife in the app store for free. last week after i reinstall the lion. i go to the mac app store to download the iphoto. after i click the accept and log in my apple id. it told me that "thest apps were already assigned to my apple id,i can find them in the purchases list",but i can't find them in my purchases list. till now i can't install the iphoto app.

    Dear user, i've seen you have solved this problem for many users. But this didn't work for me :-(
    Here's what happened:
    I bought a Macbook Pro last year with Lion and iLife apps preinstalled.
    Yesterday, for the first time, i made a clean install of Lion using my recovery partition. Everything worked out great. I installed the apps all over again.
    However I can not find the iLife apps on the Mac now. They are not installed, and when i access the Mac App Store, i can't find them anywhere. I googled what could be happening but couldn't find anything that matched my problem, because:
    - They are not listed under Purchases.
    - I can unhide some apps, but not all apps that i have bought are being listed. For instance, i had bought Civilization 4, which i also did not see on the Purchases list. However, i could re-install it and it then said that i had already bought this, so its free. Only some apps are being listed under Purchases, it seems random.
    When i search for iMovie and the others in the App Store, i can only click on the Accept button and then it says that these apps have already been accepted and assigned to my account. All seems to be ok, just that the apps do not show up anywhere on my Mac.
    Do you have any solution for this? Would me sooooo appreciated!!
    Thanks for your time.

  • I bought used iMac 2007 with Mavericks installed but iPhotos was missing. I reinstalled Mavericks but didn't get iPhoto. Now if I want it I have to buy it? Is there a way to install it without having to pay for it?

    If you own any verson of iPhoto '11 then there is a free update to version 9.5.x in the App store
    If you own a previous version of iPhto (iPhoto '09 or earlier) then as always an upgrade to a new version (in this case iPhoto '11) is a paid upgrade and you purchase it in the App store
    and no OS update/upgrade contains a version of iPhto - it is a seperate program and although it is included as part of every new Mac it is not a free program and never has been sinve version 1 or 2 (I forget when it changes)

  • I just installed Yosemite. iPhoto is gone, and Photos does not open.  Instead, I am prompted to update to the latest version. The App Store tells me that is not available in the US.  What do I do?  Cannot access any photos.

    I have an old mac and wish to install an iphoto program. The app store only offers me the latest version of iphoto, but I think the mac can only support iphoto 5. Any suggestions on where I can get iphoto 5?

    Do you have the disks that came with the old Mac?  If you do you can install the iApps from one of those disks.
    Otherwise, what Mac model do you have? Go the the  ➙ About This Mac menu and then click on More Information.  In the System Information under Hardware you'll find Model Name.  What is the model?  I'tll be something like Macbook 5,2.

  • Can I install only iPhoto 7 and continue to use my other iLife '06 apps?

    My mac Mini does not meet all of the system requirements for iLife '08. Can I install only iPhoto 7 and still use my old iLife apps like iMovie?

    Here's a link to the iPhoto support page http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/. At the bottom left you'll find the system requirements for IP 6. It looks like you're within range as far as the OS requirement and computer model. IP 6 should just upgrade your older version. If you want to install just iPhoto, there should be a "Custom Install" option in a drop-down menu. Choose that (instead of the default "Easy Install") and select what you want to install.

  • HT5037 I installed the iphoto library upgrader and iphoto still will not open

    I installed the iphoto library upgrader and iphoto still will not open. can anyone solve this?

    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.

  • ILife '09 Install Just iPhoto

    Is there a way to install just iPhoto '09 from the iLife '09 Install Disk. If so, how? I would like to install it on an external HD partition that has Leopard on it.

    Look in your pictures folder. There you will find the iPhoto Libary. Simply copy this library to the new computer's pictures folder.
    If you have already run iPhoto on the new computer you might need to delete the iPhoto Library that is there. (Assuming that there is nothing in that library that you want to keep!!!!)
    When you open iPhoto on the new machine it will convert your old library to the new format.
    If you have stuff in the existing Leopard library you want to keep, things get a bit more complicated.

  • Cannot install apps (IPhoto etc) after full OS reinstallation

    Hi All,
    After full MacOS reinstallation (10.6.4) I cannot install apps (IPhoto, IMovie, etc) from DVD - "Unknown error" ("Pls contact soft producer") just after admin password during instalation process.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hello Carolyn,
    I've found finally your hint very usefull.
    Actuallu the full explanation is available here :
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3866345?start=0&tstart=0
    But what you've said is a part of it.
    So - all pending updates must be made (several restart and update check) - after that there is no more porblem with apps instalation.
    Thank you very much!

    Bill

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
