Reinstall iPhoto without discs?

How do I reinstall iPhoto without discs?

Was it installed on your Mac when you got it?
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.

HT1229 Can I reinstall iPhoto without losing my photos?

With Yosemite ,when I opened iPhoto it says it has to be upgraded,then when I do that it says it has to Rebuild the Thumbnail caches I let it go all day but nothing happens . I've tried hitting the command + option key when starting iPhoto same problem. So I want to know if I can reinstall iPhoto without losing my photos?

So I want to know if I can reinstall iPhoto without losing my photos?
You photos are in the iphoto Library and not in the iPhoto application, so reinstalling iPhoto will not delete your photos. But the problem seems to be with your iPhoto Library and not with iPhoto.
I've tried hitting the command + option key when starting iPhoto same problem.
How dis you try that? To run the First Aid tools you need to keep holding down the keys when launching iPhoto until you are seeing the First Aid panel. Did you do it this way?
If you tried the First Aid Tools without success, rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Trence Devlin:
uprgraded to yosemite all good but iphoto crashes every time I attempt to upgrade the photo library
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.

Reinstall iWork without disc

Hi guys,
I'm thinking of reinstalling Lion to get my Macbook running fresh again.
However, I am facing some problems. I have just moved to another country and don't have any of the discs of my software with me (iWork and Office, mostly). After I have reinstalled Lion, is it possible for me to reinstall iWork without the discs? Will the Macbook somehow 'remember' my serial number or do I need the disc to reinstall it?
Thanks in advance
Michael

You need to have the original retail disk or a disk image of the disk. With iWork '09 there is no serial number for the installation. If you migrate from a clone or Time Machine backup of your existing system it might remember, but I wouldn't count on it. You will either need someone to send you the disk or buy the needed iWork apps from the Mac App Store.

Iphoto has crashed and will not open. Can I reinstall Iphoto without loosing my existing photos?

Iphoto crashed and will not start. How do I save my existing photos and videos and reinstall Iphoto?

reinstalling will not cure this - you need to rebuild your library- Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
And the ONLY way to "save" your photos and videos - and every other file on your computer - is to always have a good current backup - sooner or later your disk will fail and with no backup you will lose everything

Reinstall damaged iPhoto without disc

I recently got a Macbook Pro Mid-2012 with OSX 10.8.3 which owned by my brother previously. However the iPhoto can not be opened and always says that it is damaged. I tried to look for any solution, but nothing worked.
1. Some said that I can reinstall it through DVD which come with Macbook. Unfortunately, this Macbook doesn't have any DVD inside the package.
2. I also tried to open the Recovery mode. The only option I found here is only to reinstall the OS completely.
3. Then I went to App Store, looked for iPhoto in my (and my brother's) Purchases tab. Still, I could not find iPhoto.
Is there any option for me to get back my iPhoto? I know iPhoto is a bundled apps comes with every Macbook and I don't want to spend $15 buying something I already have.
Thanks.

Have you tried the following with your iPhoto Library? It might be the library that's damaged and not the application.
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Reinstall Garageband without disc.

Hey, my iMac came with the 2008 iLife, but something or someone deleted Garageband. The problem is iLife came preinstalled, and therefore I wasn't sent the disc. How do I reinstall at no extra cost, or should I just upgrade?

When to reinstall iPhoto

I am running Tiger-- and have about 7500 pix in IPhoto 5.0.4. I have 512 MB Ram and about 10GB empty on the hard drive. Iphoto has become terribly slow.
I tried disc repair from the startup disc and got "Reserved fields in the catalog have incorrect data" a whole lot of times. I also got "The underlying task reported failure on exit. (-9972)" Any thoughts?
   So far I have......
   1. Established another user login-- the I photo program seems to run pretty well with a smaller library to deal with--        750 pix vs. 7500. Is it that simple that I should just empty the library to another drive?
   2. Run disc repair & verify/permission repair & verify from startup disc.
   3. I have tried deleting the .plist. and rebuilding.
Should I reinstall iPhoto from the startup disc? Can I only reinstall iPhoto without reinstalling the whole OS?

First, you can't import a photo from inside the library package/folder. That's one of iPhoto's ways of preventing duplicates.
Since you've confirmed that all of the original files are in the Originals foider try starting over from scratch with a new library:
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 Originals (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. Your original library will still be intact for further attempts at fixing if so desird.

Depends on where you got it - if it came on yoru compujter then you need to have accepeted it in the App store - and it will be in your purchases when you log in with the Apple ID that you used to set up your computer - it mahy be hidden - if you do not find it unhide applications in teh App store

I do not have my discs for install. My main computer is dying and purchased new computer. How can I reinstall on new computer without discs?

Hi,
My main computer is dying - keys do not work and video is gone.
I purchased a new retina Macbook pro and want to reinstall Logic Audio Pro 9. I do not have my original discs. I can still access the program on the original Macbook to deauthorize if necessary.
But how can I reinstall wihtout the discs?
Any help would be great. Thank you!

Carbon Copy Cloner -or-
You could remove the HD and put it in an External Enclosure -or-
Maybe try using Apple's Migration Assistant -and finally-
Once you have the new computer set up you may want to use Time Machine

Can't open up phots after reinstalling iphoto older version

Last year my hard drive crashed, and since I had applecare just took it to my apple store and they put in the new hard drive, and updated my OS to Leopard 10.5.8
I had used a program that didn't work as well as I thought for my back ups and had to manually pull everything over onto the new hard drive
Flash forward to today when trying to print off photos for the first time since then. It said that I had no themes installed and that I needed to install them before printing. So searching the forums here I found that I should just reinstall iphoto. So backed up the computer, and re-installed iphoto from the original start up disc which i believe had the Tiger OS. Problem is that it had formatted all my pictures to work with the new version, and now when I try to open iphoto it says that the pictures can't be accessed because of them being formatted using the newer version and that I should quit and use the new version of iphoto... no other options, it forces me to quit out of it. Problem is the nice people at the apple store just updated my software, and I don't have the disc.
I currently have a genius bar appt at the apple store, but would love if there was a way for me to do it without going in there, plus i'm scared that they'll force me to buy the new version of ilife, which is a big purchase for a broke college student. All the software updates on my computer have been installed, but still have the same probelm.
Any way for me to solve it myself?

Try the following;
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
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 Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

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.

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.
