Re-Installing iPhoto on 10.6.8

Hi !
- Bought iPhoto on the Mac App Store a few months ago
- Did a clean install of 10.6.8 today.
- Tried to install newest iPhoto version. --> This failed, because the latest iPhoto needs at least 10.7.4
How do I get a working version of iPhoto for 10.6.8 ?
( No, I don't have a backup of my application folder. No, I don't have any other Macs with an older iPhoto version. )
Thanks,
Michael

I followed up with the Mac App Store Support.
They answered again with the same info: "Unfortunately, the version offered in the Mac App Store will require Lion, which you will need to redownload in order to have the apps function properly. Your apps will only work for 10.7.4 or later. Again, the Mac App Store does not offer older versions of the iLife apps." (or any other apps)
They then recommended to contact AppleCare.
I just got off the phone with the german AppleCare Center.
In short, they we're stumped ("It's the first time we hear about this"), they apologized and they will send me an iLife '11 DVD for free. (I also was not charged for the "support incident".)
(As all of you probably know: The iLife 11 DVD contains Snow Leopard-compatible versions of iPhoto and iMovie, which I can manually update to the latest Snow Leopard-compatible version by downloading the updaters from Apple's Support section.)
Thanks for all your advice and I hope this info will help all other people who run into the same problem.
The lesson I have learned:
"Apps can be re-downloaded at any times without additional costs."
NOT TRUE. KEEP BACKUPS OF YOUR APPLICATION FOLDER !

I deleted the pre-installed iPhoto app from my iPhone 5s by mistake. And I can't find the same app in the App Store. How do I recover it?

iPhoto for iOS is no longer being offered by Apple and has been replaced by the Photos app. It is not compatible with iOS 8. This Apple document may help: Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8 - Apple Support

Assuming you've done a system wide search for it including the Applications folder and it's not there......
I think you will need to address this with them - did you pay them for the application? Or was your purchase price to include it? And the question(s) to ask them:
If the app store states that it has been downloaded, ask them where it is and which Apple ID they used. (the store keeps track of Apple IDs and machine IDs on everything you download).
I have absolutely no faith in their advice; however, in this case, it's not so much technical advice, but an answer to your questions: you paid for something and it appears not to be there.

When I want to edit a photo in photoshop, iphoto duplicates the image and I end up with two or three copies of the same photo and they are also duplicated on my computer. This has only occurred since I installed iPhoto 11.

Ever since I installed iPhoto '11 on my computer, I have had a problem with images being duplicated when I want to open an image to edit in Photoshop. I did not realize at first that the images were also duplicated on my computer. This has taken up an incredible amount of space on my computer. Why does this happen? Is there a problem with the software? Can I remove iPhoto and re-install? Would that help?

saUnless you have a copy of your iPhoto 09 library you will have to start over from scratch with a new library and import the Masters file from inside iPhoto 11's library as described here:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Origianls (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.

I am trying to install Iphoto on my new MacBook Air adn the install button is grayed out Any suggestions

I am trying to install iphoto 09 on my new MacBook Air and the install button is grayed out. Both for installation and custom install. Is there a problem that I am not aware of?

Check for receipts
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/
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.

How to install iPhoto after upgrading to yosemite?

how to install iPhoto after upgrading to yosemite?

Download it from the App Store as Matt suggested. You may have to move the current version to the Trash Bin (don't delete yet), go to the App Store and look for iPhoto 9.6 under purchases. It will be free.
What iPhoto version did you have prior to the Yosemite upgrade? If it was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll also have to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before opening it with iPhoto 9.6.

How many computers can i install Iphoto 11 on

If you buy it on the App Store any Macs that you own or control for personal use. So, all the Macs in your family, yes. All the Macs in your Office... no.

Error in installing iphoto 6

Hi. I just converted to a new powermac G5 and started using iphoto.
I tried upgrading iphoto 5 to iphoto 6 but during the install when I'm asked to
"Select a destination volume to install the iphoto Update 6.0.2 software." I get a red stop sign when I click on the icon "Macintosh HD 233GB (219GB free)". It states "you can not install iphoto Update 6.0.2 on this volume. an eligible iphoto application was not found in the loction /Applications/iphoto.app".
I've read on here that I need ilife 6 but I thought this new computer (purchased oct/05) had it already on. Do I need to purchase it or is there something else I need to do on the install.
Thanks you for any advice!
powermac g5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thanks Lori, that's what I finally figured.
I'll go ahead and purchase it.
I appreciate the help!

I upgraded to snow leopard but iphoto was not included. How do I install iphoto on snow leopard 10.6.8?

i upgraded to snow leopard but iphoto was not included. How do I install iphoto on snow leopard 10.6.8?

IPhoto is not included in any OS upgrade. It is a seperate application. Unless you choose to erase your drive when you upgrade no application including iPhoto is affected by the upgrade (except potential compatibility issues). If you need to reinstall iPhoto for and reason you do it from the original source. Either
1- the restore disks that came with your computer
Or
2- the iLife DVD upgrade that you purchased
Or
3- the App store

Camera roll app gone after installing iPhoto

My Camera Roll app is no longer to be found on my Gen 3 iPad after installing iPhoto. I've reset my iPad, though i haven't erased all content and settings, and I cannot get it back. Am I relegated to the "scorched earth" solution of backing up and erasing all my data?

"If you are using the Camera app and take a shot, you can see your Camera Roll (bottom right) and when you tap on it, it will bring out the Camera Roll. Those shots are also in Photos app > Photos.
Note: There's no Camera Roll app."
Sorry, correction in the statement above : should be (bottom left).

Probsbly good to post in the OS forum along with the error message when it failes to connect
Is this failure only from iPhoto or from all software on teh Mac?

Error Message when installing IPHOTO 4.0

I had to purchase IPHOTO 4.0 because Apple no longer supports IPHOTO 2.0 for Mac photo books. When I tried to install IPHOTO 4.0 this message appears "This installation cannot proceed because one of the following applications is running - ITUNES, IPHOTO, IMOVIE" All these applications are not running, I have turned off my computer and on again and continue to get the same message. What am I to do? I have a PHOTO book ready to go and can't get past this message. Thanks. Marge R

Marge,

How to install iPhoto on Mac OS X 10.7.5?

I bought a new macbook pro 10.7.5 on ebay. When i got it i noticed it didnt have iphoto, so i went to the app store and tried to install it, but when i do it says, "iPhoto can’t be installed on “Macbook HD” because Mac OS X version 10.9 or later is required." If this is the case, is there still a way i can get iphoto?

If it originally shipped with 10.6.8 or earlier, install iPhoto from the computer's original disks. If you don't have those, ask the seller for them or phone AppleCare and order replacements.
If it originally shipped with 10.7 or newer, upgrade the computer to Mac OS X 10.9. If you don't want to upgrade it, go to the Mac App Store main page, choose Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.
