Reinstalling iPhoto (and iLife?) on OS 10.7

On the Apple iPhoto forum, I have established that I need to remove iPhoto from my new computer and reinstall it.
With OS 10.7 this presents a new challenge as there no disks came with the computer. Do I restart holding down command + R key or do I go to the App Store on the computer to reinstall iPhoto?
Thanks for your help.
John

It's always difficult to know what is off topic. This seemed to me to be a OS 10.7-specific question. The iPhoto expert has been great but seems to still be coming up-to-speed on OS 10.7 and it's all new to me as own machine is running 10.5.8. However, I'll take this question back to the iPhoto forum as you suggest.

    No you won't necessarily lose your photos when upgrading but it's very very unwise not to back up first. Backing up is like using a seat belt in a car. You can drive without one for years and have no issues, but if you do have a problem the outcome will be a lot worse. So, too, with back ups. And upgrading is one of those times when the risks of a problem are higher.
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • Can't reinstall IPhoto and IMovie after reinstallation of the operative system.

    I made and reinstallation of the entire operative system of my Mac. But now having the MAc oS X Lion 10.7.5 I can't reinstall some apps as IPhoto and IMovie. They said I need the 10.9 version.
    How am I proceed?
    Thanks'

    Download Mavericks from the Mac App Store, or install those applications from a DVD; iLife 11 DVDs are available from sources such as Amazon and eBay, and if your computer's incapable of running Mavericks, it'll have come with disks which can be used to install them.

  • Iphoto and ilife gone!

    I discovered today that iphoto and the rest of ilife are suddenly not on my macbook anymore! They're not in the applications folder and I searched for them on the computer with no use.
    I bought the macbook the day Leopard came out. It came with Tiger on it and Leopard on a CD. The Leopard CD was the only one it came with, and I don't see ilife on the CD.
    How can I get ilife back?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    They are on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert and opt to install 'Bundled Applications Only'.

  • How to reinstall IPhoto and garageband

    I have a Macbook Pro OSX Lion. Iphoto and garageband was preinstalled. When I will update it, there is a dialogue box that appears "We could not complete your purchase, product distribution file could not be verified." So I put it in the trash and went to appstore to reinstall again, but  it won't. I don't have those two apps for now.

    This is absolutely incorrect, You shouldn't be giving out the wrong information when you have no idea what's going on. If you own iPhoto you own it, updates and everything. He should be able to go view his purchases via the app store and re install that way which is what i'm sure he was doing.

  • Do Need to reinstall office and iLife if i upgrade to Mac OS 10.6?

    Do i need to reinstall Office 2008 and iLife if i upgrade my software from Mac OS 10.5 to Mac OS 10.6??

    if you do the "normal" upgrade, all you apps should still be available. If you did an erase first, then you will have to reinstall them. BUT, BEFORE you do the install, create a bootable backup, just in case anything happens (very rare, but why temp fate).

  • Upgrading iPhoto and iLife 11

    Hi there
    We have iMacs at the college running 10.6.6. They came with iLife09 installed and I have also purchased iLife 11. iPhoto won't open and keeps asking for an update. Since we're not on the internet (it's a secure college) I installed iLife 11 from the CD. However, after restarting, I realised that iPhoto was still at v9.0 and iPhoto was still asking for an update from the online updater before it would open.
    iLife 11 should install iPhoto11 should it not ?
    Can anyone throw some light on this matter ?
    Thanks
    Marco13

  • Reinstall iPhoto and iMovie on iPhone 6 and Mac

    I was fooling around with some apps and deleted iPhoto and iMovie on my phone, not knowing they would be uninstalled on my Mac.  When I realized this I tried to reinstall them from the app store, both on the phone and Mac and am unable to.  I get the following message in the pic I attached.  Seems quite odd any other app can be reinstalled but these can't.
    There's a ton of info online but most seems many years old.  Plus there was a new update today.  Any ideas?

    Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
    1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept them into your Apple ID, do so.
    2. Try downloading them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
    3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
    4. Buy them.

  • Just reinstalled iPhoto and now it won't open the photos I saved on CDs

    I recently had a major hard drive crash and had to get a new hard drive. I was so glad that I had all my photos backed up on CDs. But when I reinstalled the software, I can't get iPhoto to open the CDs. I get a message that says the photo libraries were made using a newer version of IPhoto. The only version I have is the version that came with the computer which was iLife 05. I have not yet bought iLife 06 due to finances. The only thing I can think of is that there were updates to the 05 version that I had downloaded and now the original version will not open my files. I tried clicking on update the software, but all I got was an ad for 06. Is there any way to get the updates for 05 so I can get back to where I was before the hard drive gave out?
    Thanks,
    Carole

    That's a bummer.
    Here are the instructions for creating a new library. It will get you your photos back for now. Save the CDs in case a solution comes up.
    Close iPhoto
    Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
    Drag this library to your desktop
    Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
    This is the window you will get
    Create a new library or choose a library to open
    Choose to create a new library
    Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
    Go to File>add to library
    Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
    iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
    This is what to expect:
    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.
    Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
    You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
    You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
    It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
    Good luck!

  • Reinstalling iPhoto from iLife DVD

    After i migrated back from my Lion clone after a clean Lion install, i have had issues with iPhoto. How can i totally remove iPhoto, or another iLife apps, so when i reinstall the software, there won't be several copies of iLife apps left? Where are the pkgs. contents, etc for the iLife Apps on Lion? Also have Airport utility installed several times, and i need to remove those as well.
    Oh, and when i reset my TC, i know i need airport 5.6 to set it up, but should i keep it installed and still have airport 6.0 as well? Or should remove 5.6 after i set up TC and wifi network, then remove 5.6 and install 6.0 ?
    Thanks

    How can i totally remove iPhoto, or another iLife apps, so when i reinstall the software, there won't be several copies of iLife apps left? Where are the pkgs. contents, etc for the iLife Apps on Lion?
    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.

  • Iphoto and ILIfe 6

    I am not able to upgrade my iPhoto album with the newly installedf iLife 6. I receive two error messages; 1. Says that I don't have user access and the other 2. says that som of my photos are locked.

    Hi RJC1941,
    " Unable to upgrade this library because the current user does not have access"
    -First make sure your Pictures folder has the correct permissions for you, the user. Do this by highlightling the Pictures folder, hit Command i to bring up the info pane.
    Make sure you are the owner and have read and write permissions. Click the button at the bottom of the window.
    -If your problem is a locked file/files follow the info in the following Apple kb

    If all this fails you might want to try BatCHmode.

  • Quick question about reinstalling Lion and iLife

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro mid 2010.
    If I reinstall Lion, I obviously need the "Applications Install DVD" to install iLife. This should work even if the DVD is for Snow Leopard that came with my Mac, right?
    Just to make sure...
    V-M

    This is much simpler.
    If you have the System Restore disks that came with your Mac then yes, you do have the iLife apps on them.
    Yes you can install the iLife apps without installing the whole OS. Just opt to 'Install Bundled Applications only'
