Reinstall iphoto 11

So I did the update and now my iPhone ( 4s ) crashes my iPhoto 9.3.2, so I need to revert to an earlier version which is downloading as I type. When iPhoto crashes it tends to hang the system up, forcing a reboot.

Thanks for the question.
I installed the update from Apple. iPhoto going from 9.3.1 to 9.3.2, called an update.
I connected my iPhone to offload some images.
The application iPhoto crashes, and locks up the "whole OS".
So I seek instructions on "re-installing" the Application iPhoto. Preferable with losing the library ( yes, it is back up redundantly ( time machine/super duper ).
Pointer toward Apples instructions on reinstalling, on the road and do not have iLife disk. Early 2011 Macbook Pro.

How Do I Reinstall iPhoto after Upgrading to Snow Leopard

hi, I recently did a clean install to Snow Leopard on my macbook Pro. Everything went smoothly other than apparently I need to add the iphoto back on to my mac. I DO have the original discs 1 & 2 that came with my macbook pro. Would someone be so kind as to walk me through how I would reinstall iPhoto, iDVD, etc. I have read some posts that say use disc 1 others say use disc 2..... so I am confused and don't want to do anything incorrectly. THANKS a million.

The programs for iLife are on your system restore DVD, Insert and opt to 'Install Bundled Applications Only.

I am getting the following error message when I try to import photos into iPhoto from my camera: "/private/var/folders/GB/GBl4wh8-ELqUVMI5dO-ryU TI/-Tmp-/iPhoto/DSCF2033.JPG". Have already tried removing and reinstalling iPhoto to no avail.

Does this happen if you try to Import to Library within iPhoto, or is it when you connect your camera (and which is set to automatically use iPhoto) that this error message occurs?
If you open Image Capture > Preferences is iPhoto selected as the choice when a camera is connected?

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/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/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 or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Want to reinstall iPhoto only

Hi all,
okay, I'm an idiot (and A Luddite to boot). I did something stupid and short story is I have uninstalled iPhoto 4.0.3 from OS 10.3.9. I've tried dragging a working copy from another disk but no luck. Can anyone recommend a reasonably straightforward way that I might reinstall iPhoto only so I can save everything else I have on my drive?
Thanks,
Steve L.

Use Pacifist to locate, extract and install iPhoto from the disk that it came on with your computer.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created Automator workflow applications (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 5 and earlier and 6 and later and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IPhoto has somehow uninstalled itself, or I've done something wrong. If try to open iPhoto, it gives me this message: "You can't open the application "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete. I have an iMac OS X. How do I reinstall iPhoto please

What is your iPhoto version and how did you install it originally?
If it came with a new mac and Lion or Mt. Lion installed, you can delete iPhoto from the Applications folder (don't empty the Trash) and download it again from the "Purchased" tab of the App Store.
If you have bought the iLife CD, reinstall iPhoto from the installation media, after deleting it from the Application folder.
Or if your Mac came with an older MacOS X, but iLIfe preinstalled, use the system Install CDs, see Terence Devlin's post here: Re: My iPhoto isn't working. Error message says "you can't open the app "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete.
Regards
Léonie
P.S: This may not only be a problem of a broken iPhoto. What did you do, directly before this happened? Did you run a program, that will clean the Mac to save space, like "Clean My Mac" or "Mac Keeper"? These little helpers can be risky and overdo it and remove too much. Then it might be safer to reinstall your system, because other essential files might be missing now.

How can I delete and reinstall iPhoto?

There is an issue with the new operating system and iPhoto when creating a book, how do I delete and reinstall iPhoto?

drag the iPhoto application to the trash and
reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first
However it would be a good idea to tell us what is going one - most likely you need to fix your library not reinstall the application - it is rare to need to reinstall the Application

Trying to reinstall iPhoto 6 after multiple crashes

After numerous crashes of iPhoto 6 (and reporting crashes to Apple via the pop-up box until my fingers fell off), I finally decided to back-up all my photos, delete and reinstall iPhoto 6. To do so, I did a spotlight search for anything with iPhoto in the name and then deleted all items I could find. I finally came down to a Library6.iphoto file, but when clicking on the i button in spotlight, only a dashed line ghost rectangle appeared. It had no location name, the date created and modified was Dec. 1903 and other useless information. How can I get rid of this program, that is says is still present, but I can't find it anywhere to delete it. I dont' want to re-install iPhoto 6, with this ghost running around.

ExpressMan:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I've gotten those ghosts files from time to time and they haven't given me troubles. Here's what I recommend:
1 - launch Disk Utility and repair disk permissions and verify the disk.
2 - be sure all files with iPhoto in the file name are out of the HD/Library/Redeipts folder if you haven't already done so.
3 - install iPhoto 6 and then run the following updaters in this order:
a - 6.0.4
b- 6.0.5
c - 6.0.6
I suggest you downloade them from the Download page (see the Download button at the top of this page) and run them from your HD instead of Software Update.
4- run Disk Utility again and repair disk permissions.
Also be sure you're running Quicktime 7.1.5.
Restarting your computer may get rid of that ghost file. But I wouldn't worry about it.

Reinstalling iPhoto 6.0.1

Have had ongoing thumbnail issues since upgrading to iPhoto 6. Thought iPHoto 6.0.1 would fix problem. No. From day 1 of upgrade, iPhoto kept asking to rebuild thumbnail cache. 95% of way thru, iPhoto would crash.
Now having problems with garbled thumbnails. Have tried rebuilding thumbnails. After many crashes, tried deleting data & thumbxxxx.data files and then rebuilding the library. After many crashes, was finally able to rebuild thumbnails, but thumbnails still do not all match up to original picts.
Am trying hard to avoid recreating library since I have 7500+ pictures and most of them are commented.I don't want to lose my comments, albums, or photo books. (Apple TS's only advice was to back up originals, delete library, and reimport. Obviously they have never had a 7500+ photo library fully commented. I don't have 2-3 "spare" days to recreate my library. I have a busy life with 3 young children!)
So I am going to attempt to reinstall iPhoto 6.0 from iLife 6, then upgrade to 6.0.1.
What files should I remove first to ensure a clean install?
Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Before removing iPhoto (latest update crashed the app), I accidently removed it from my purchased Apps from the App Store. I accept iPhoto when I search for it, but does not put it back in my list. How do I get this back so that I can reinstall iPhoto?

I found the answer just after posted this. Thanks to a user named CloudWalker. Solution is to go in AppStore, View Account under "Store" Menu and unhide any purchases.

Reinstalling iphoto?

I couldn't open iphoto earlier and got this message:
"you can't open your current photo library using this version of iphoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto."
I hadn't consciously made any changes to iphoto and I thought I was using the latest version or one of them. I tried lots of things to fix this (see my post from earlier today). Now my iphoto library is empty and I don't seem to be able to import my backup photos on dvd back into iphoto. I can see them in iphoto, but only on the dvd folder (I gave it about 20 min to import 197 photos before I figured that it wasn't going to work) What did pop up in iphoto was about 100 seemingly random photos from various internet sites and mail along with some kind of error message. So I deleted them.
Can I wipe all the photos and corrupt stuff off my computer and reinstall iphoto, in effect, start from scratch? Do I use my iwork disc or my OSX install disc? Can I do this for iphoto only (and leave the other applications as is)?
Thanks,
Erik

Hi Erik,
I think, but am not sure, that I gave you this info:
So far I have not seen any solution for that error message in these discussions. If you have a recent backup of your iPhoto Library folder then take the old library out of the Pictures folder and put your backup library in there (I suggest you backup the backup before you do this) Launch iPhoto and hopefully everything will be back to normal. If you don't have a backup then...
The only thing I can tell you to do right now is to create a new library and import/add to the library to reimport your images.
these are the steps:
Close iPhoto
Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto
In the next window that opens choose to create a new library.
When the new empty library opens go to File/add to library
In the next window navigate to the library on your desktop and choose it.
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
You will have to redo your albums, keywords, etc.
Did you follow those directions yet? If not, why not?
Now, what is on this DVD? Is it a DVD you burned within iPhoto so it is mounting within iPhoto in the source column?
If that is what it is, do this:
Close iPhoto
Drag the old iPhoto Library folder to the desktop and rename it old-IPhoto Library.
Go to System Preferences/CD/DVD
Change the preferences to have Finder open or "ask what to do" when a Picture Cd/DVd is inserted into the computer. I have yoy do this so iPhoto won't open when the DVD is inserted.
Now insert the DVD and double click it on the desktop.
There should be an iPhoto Library folder inside it.
Drag that folder into your Pictures folder.
Rename the folder to iPhoto Library
Launch iPhoto and it should open that library.

Need to Reinstall Iphoto

Hi, On my Macbook I did a reinstall of Mac OS X Snow Leopard and my Iphoto, I movie and Garage band are missing.. My version of Snow Leopard is 10.6.8.. I can't find anywhere where I can just reinstall Iphoto from scratch.. Everything just shows as updates. Also, In the app store, I had purchased I Movie 11 and when I try to reinstall that it says I need Operating system 10.7 or better. But when I try and search for updates it says my computer is up to date with software at its current vesrion of 10.6.8... Any suggestions, especially on the Iphoto would be greatly appreciated..
