Recover iLife after eliminating iMovie

I have recently eliminated iMovie because I didn't use it a lot, and I uninstalled it with CleanMyMac 2, because of freeing space, as I have only 256 GB SSD, and now I can't redownload iMovie as I could do before. I am on Mavericks installing with the official installer, not a clean install.

Then you need to use the original system disc that came with your model to Re-Install the iLife Apps and then use software update to update them to the newer versions.
If for some reason you do not have the original system discs you can order them from Apple for a small fee or you can buy iLife on DVD or through the MAS. On DVD from places like Amazon or eBay.
Note the iLife apps on the MAS do not include iDVD or iWeb anymore. So you would need an older iLife DVD or your original sys discs to get those programs.

Recovering iLife After Installation

Hello,
I wasn't really sure where to post this, but this seemed like my best bet for getting an answer.. I recently (well not actually that recently) upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5, the former of which came on my iMac when I bought it. Included along with the OS was iLife '08. When I installed the new system I did an archive and install, saving the old system in a folder on the HD. This was very nice because I had a nice clean new system (I love setting my preferences), and I could easily access and drag over my old files and apps. However, when I tried to bring certain applications, including the iLife applications, from the application folder in the archive of the previous system to my actual applications folder, I encountered an error when I attempting to run them. Necessary files were missing. I assumed that they were located through the library folder of the previous system. But when I started to look for them I realized that moving all of those files was a daunting task.. there are tons of them and I dont know which to move and if I can even find all of them.
Does anyone know of an easy (or easier) way to move my old applications (especially my iLife applications) to the new application folder? I can still run, say, iPhoto from the previous system's archive, but I eventually want to delete the archive. I've tried (maybe not hard enough) to install iLife through the 10.4 system CDs that came with the iMac, but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if I need to explain the problem better.
Thanks

Your old system, including iphoto/ilife, will very like have been archived as an "invisible" file - one way of doing it is by this:
http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Automator-Actions---Workflows/Show-Hide-Invisible-F iles.shtml
but there was a terminal command if you're comfortable with that:
"+To display all hidden files, open up the terminal and type,+
+*defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE*+
+Change “TRUE” to “FALSE” to hide the files+
+Then restart the Finder+
+killall Finder+
+In Mac OS X, files and folders can be hidden by putting a “.” (without the quotes) in front of the file name.+

IPod Touch 64GB activated October 2013 - how do I get the free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps?

I purchased (from an authorised seller - Dixons Duty Free, Heathrow) and activated an iPod Touch 64GB on 18th October 2013 (prior to the announcement of free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps but after the 1st Sepember 2013 date in their conditions). It had iOS6 preinstalled. I've updated to iOS7. How do I get the free iLife, iPhoto and iMovie apps? The App Store is trying to charge me for theese.

Problem solved from information found in another thread....
If your iOS device was activated for the first time after September 1, go to the App Storeon your iPod which should open to Featured. If not, tap on Featured at the lower left of the screen & scroll down to Collections & tap on New to the App Store? then scroll down to Apps Made by Apple & tap. You should now see the iWork & iLife apps as "FREE."

How to recover photos after restoring iPod touch?

Yesterday, there was an update for the iOS 6, I believe. When I pressed the update button, a message popped up saying that there was a problem with my iPod touch 4G and that I need to restore it. I had absolutely no idea why that message would pop up in the first place because my iPod was working just fine. But I couldn't update my iPod to the newest version if I didn't do what iTunes says... so I was about to restore my iPod, but then I was worried that all of my photos would disappear. So I decided to update my iOS later so that I could transfer all my files on to my computer. I then unplugged my iPod, and tried to turn it on but the home screen wouldn't pop - no matter what I did, all the screen showed was an itunes icon on top with a USB plug-in cord at the bottom. So I had no choice but to restore my iPod. The thing is, once I restored my iPod and all, my photos were all gone and I did not use iCloud as a back-up since a few months ago. All of my recent photos are now gone and I have no idea how to recover them. I've tried programs that aim to recover deleted photos, but they didn't work.
Is there a way to recover photos after restoring the iPod Touch?

Hello,
It is very important to backup your device to the computer before updating or restoring.
You can restore your device to a previous backup, all the photos that were there when you made the backup should return with it, but I'm afraid that any photos taken or saved after the last backup are unrecoverable.
I hope this helps.

After installing iMovie 4 my Bookmarks have disappeared!

Actually, several things happened after installing iMovie. My ethernet adapter wouldn't work, but fixed that...kinda. It will now recognize my ethernet adapter if I plug it in after I boot. I also can no longer find my Download folder. There were three Download folders. One was the temporary one (I'm talking about that little Download window which pops up so you can see what you're downloading). Another one had all my downloads. Another, for some reason, had only 4 downloads from when I first began using the Powerbook 7 years ago. That one I can find. But the main one is gone. I just installed the update for iMovie (4.0.1) but that didn't do anything. Previous to installing iMovie I renamed my "Home" icon, but after the iMovie install it has reverted to the old name and when I try to change it back it says the name is already taken. I tried using Finder to retrieve the name I had changed the Home icon to, but it doesn't come up with anything. Is there a way to revert of they system settings before I installed iMovie 4?

I doubt that anything related to iMovie will fix your problem. iMovie has nothing to do with your ethernet adapter or with Safari's downloads folder and bookmarks. You probably need to go to the OS X discussion area.

I have a problem with Imovie. Just brought an macbook 15 retina , iLife install and Imovie was working. I than did a data migration from my old macbook pro and now it crashes on start up. I tried to re-install from app store but no option to re-install

Well, my two-month-old MBP has no qualms about booting from a no-name external USB HD I put together...
Given that is is a common point of failure, I would imagine a large Apple Store should keep a stock of HD's on hand.
Now since you're a bit desperate and the genie pops up til Saturday and you seem to be the enterprising kind, let's try an experiment: if you have room enough in the external HD and assuming it isn't a Time Machine volume, why don't you plug it in, stick the Install CD and see if the installer lets you select the external drive as the install target. If you can install Leopard on it, on top of the backup without reformatting, and the Mac can boot from the drive afterwards, at least you would have some functionality restored and would be able to pull your stuff from the internal HD. Apple says booting from USB drives is not supported but that does not equate to not possible; some brands do work. Risks? Always. You can always lose your backup. Like I said, a challenge for an enterprising gal....
Next time around, consider having a bootable external clone at hand for rainy days. I keep three myself...
P.S. Since I'll be in the Dallas-FW area in late June, I can volunteer with the confetti....

After update iMovie and OS Yosemite recovery, iPhoto icon disappeared. How can I find photos stored on iPhoto?

I am using iOS Yosemite 10.10.3. After update iMovie version 10.10.08 and OS Yosemite Recovery. iPhoto icon disappeared. I opened the Photos icon but all my images which used to be in iPhoto were not there. How do I access those images in iPhotos?

Go to Finder>Applications and open the iPhotos app.
Apple want you to use the new Photos app which now should be in your Dock. Photos will import your iPhoto library

How do i recover files after being trashed?

how do i recover files after being trashed?

If you emptied the trash, you don't unless they are on your backup disk.

After updating imovie with mavericks, clips added to a project no longer have an orange stripe. Any suggestions?

When I add clips to a project in imovie, the used portions no longer have an orange stripe on them. I recently installed mavericks and updated imovie. I could not find a setting to enable or view this feature. Thanks for any suggestions.

After using imovie some more after the update, it may have to do with the location of clips and the project. If the imovie project and the clip are saved in the same imovie library, the orange stripe appears when I add clips to a project. If the movie project and the clip are not in the same imovie library, the orange stripe does not seem to show up. To make sure I can alway see the orange stripe for clips I have added to a project, I keep the clip and project in the same library. Hope this helps.

After installing iMovie 8.0.5

After installing iMovie 8.0.5, iMovie is now COMPLETELY unable to import nor detect ANY videos on my hard drive what so ever.
Is it a bug in the update, that i'm supposedly the only one to experience? Or did I do something wrong. Everything has been working perfectly right until I installed 8.0.5.
I hope someone might have a solution or that a new update will do it!
Thanks!

Recovering data after factory reset (security issue)

Hello there,
Recently a friend of mine asked me how to erase all data on an iPhone ? I pointed to him to "factory reset".
Now, I see a bunch of websites that show how to recover data after factory reset using their software, not sure if they work as advertised or not.
What I would like to know is if the user wants the data to be erased and non-recoverable, is this the best option or if there is any other option available in iPhone that can make the data un-recoverable. We want to make sure the data is un-recoverable after factory reset.
thanks
Ashish Shah

unfortunately this doesn't answer my question.
I do know the option to "erase all content and settings" in iPhone.
What I want to know is to make sure once done, no one can recover that data back. Since this phone will be sold off to some stranger, we don't want them to have access to the data.
Here are a few websites from my just preliminary search results that show how to recover data.
just google "extracting data after factory reset iPhone" and you will see a bunch of websites offering their products to recover. So I want to check if this is so simple, how can we really make sure the data is wiped off clean.

After updating iMovie, some clips missing/some in wrong project

After updating iMovie to 10.0.3, clips from various projects are intermingled. In some projects, clilps are missing. In others, there might be two clips from a different projects in the project.
I took my MBAir and an external drive to the Apple Store for a One on One; the creative consult was baffled. He said he'd just started, and had never seen this problem. He gave me his name, asked me to make another appt, andto ask for him. He said he'd do some research. In the meantime, he suggested I write the forum, see if anyone else had this problem, and if so what the fix might be?
In the meantime, any suggestions/ideas welcome.
Thanks, Hal

Quite a number of people are reporting clips disappearing fom events, especially if they have used the "Adjust date and Time" function, so I am beginning to think that there is a real bug that has been introduced with iMovie 10.0.3. (I have not experienced this problem myself but I have not done much in iMovie since updating having moved on to FCP).
I have not heard before of clips moving to different projects though. is your problem only with clips in the timelines or do they disappear from events completely?
Geoff.
