Upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Where's iPhoto?

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion a few days ago and I can't find iPhoto.  I read on another thread that I can log in with my Apple ID, click on options before purchasing and I should be able to download it free.
Well, I signed into the App Store and I think I used a different ID because when I check my Order History, it says that nothing was purchased in the last 90 days.  It's possible I have two Apple ID's so I wanted to log out of that account and try signing in under another possible one.  BUT WHERE'S THE LOG OUT?  I can't find it to save my life.
Other than that, doesn't iPhoto come with Mountain Lion?  I had it with my previous OS before upgrading.  Thanks for any help!

iPhoto comes with your Mac. What version of OS X came installed on your Mac when you bought it?
If it came with any version of OS X before Lion came out then you will need to re-install iPhoto from the Applications disc that came with your Mac and then Update it through Software Update.
Like if Snow Leopard or Leopard was Pre-Installed on your Mac when you bought it, it came with 2 System Restore/Re-Install Discs. One for the OS and one for the iLife Apps, IE the Applications disc.
If you don't have them then there are 2 ways to get iPhoto and the other iLife Apps reinstalled on your system.
1) You call Apple and order a replacement set of System Discs at a small fee/charge.
2) Buy it and the other iLife Apps, if you want them, from the Mac App Store.
Or Option 3. If you know someone that has a similar year Mac and they still have their original System Re-Install/Restore discs you could try to use theirs to Reinstall the iLife Apps.
If your system came with Lion then you can get them from the Mac App Store for free but you must log in to the store with the same Apple ID you used when you first registered that Mac with the App Store.
Good Luck and Best Wishes

  • Upgraded to mountain lion and my iphoto dissappeared?

    Any ideas why my iphoto isn't showing up in my applications I just updgraded to Mountain Lion.

    Did you check other places on your HD? 

  • How can I get back iPhoto after upgrading to mountain lion

    I've upgraded to mountain lion and lost iphoto. Do I need to re buy it?

    Actually, I have the same problem. After a clean install of Mountain Lion only Garage Band and iMovie appear in my purchased list.
    If I look for iPhoto, it appears as a regular application that I have to buy... again? Wasn't it included with iLife when I bought my computer?

  • IPhoto update impossible after upgrading to Mountain Lion?

    I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion today and when I subsequently went into the iCloud settings I was surprised to learn my version (9.1.3) of iPhoto was not capable of supporting iCloud. The information stated if iPhoto had not been installed from the App Store, then one should go the the apple icon in the top left corner and select "Software Update" from there. When I do that, it is reported I do not have an update available. However, if I open iPhoto and check for an update from its menu, it indicates an update (two, actually) is available but when I click the "Open Software Update" button, I am directed back to the App Store where...no update available is the information provided.
    I would really like to use iCloud Photo Stream and is one of the reasons I ponied up $20 to "upgrade" to Mountain Lion. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have been a MS/Windows user for 20+ years and this initial exposure to difficulties with the Mac OS is not what I expected.
    Thanks.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. The purpose of this test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows: 
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
     *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Try the download while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, launching iPhoto reboots MBP

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, when I go to launch iPhoto, my MBP re-boots.  This happens every time I try to launch iPhoto.  The re-boot has occured randomly when using Safari and iMovie.  Looking for help.

    I was hopeful thAt this would help, but it did not.  Still experiencing the same behaviors.

  • Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.

    Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.
    i can select the picture but when sending it, an error symbol appears.
    Any ideas ?

    This doesn't work for me at all. I tried entering exactly the same information that I used to set up my regular email account and I'm still getting an error message. I even tried switching to using my gmail account and neither one worked. Then it got hung up and had to repair my database! I have a lot of photos on my Mac (thank goodness they're backed up) and I was really sweating it for a moment.
    Apple is so easy until it's not. I find this to be really aggrevating and I'm irritated that it hasn't been fixed. In fact I did an online search and someone described this same problem in detail and it was exactly what was happening to me. Same error messages.
    I'm frustrated that Apple keeps updating it's operating system and then we go through these glitches.
    And while I'm at it, I have never had such a frustrating time using my login information as I have to get into this forum! Why do they make it so difficult? There's just something about the way it's worded that get's me messed up every time. Meanwhile, at least get iPhoto fixed!

  • Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2 try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

    Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2nd try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

    Yes.
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.
    When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
    Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
    In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
    Click First Aid.
    If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
    Click Repair Disk.
    If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done.
    Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
    If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.
    If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced

  • Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new sad and upgraded to Mountain Lion., but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this?  Graham

    Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new ssd and upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this?  A backup run did not install either photos or songs. Graham

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

  • IPhoto Library won't open after upgrade to mountain lion

    One of my iPhoto libraries (stored on a WD Pasport Studio) won't open properly after upgrade to Mountain Lion 4oo5 open ok. One opens but disc symbol keeps spinning and Iphoto stops responding. Any ideas?

    See if anything in here will fix it:
    1. Hold down the Command and Option keys as you click the iPhoto icon.

  • TS1277 "iPhoto was unable to connect to Photo Stream" error after upgrading to mountain lion

    Has anyone gotten this error after upgrading to mountain lion on a computer that already had a user setup on it?
    My iphoto was working with photostream and now it will not connect at all.
    I ran fix disk permissions and once it showed up in iphoto, photostream was loading and then it disappeared again.
    help!

    FWIW I fixed mine when I realised I'd probably downloaded iPhoto using an AppleID from the App Store but logged into iCloud with a different AppleID. I deleted iPhoto and it's related files (but not the iPhoto Library) using CleanApp, entered the App Store with my usual AppleID and downloaded iPhoto again. Once the App Store, the downloaded iPhoto and iCloud logins were the same iPhoto Stream worked again.

    No one here would have any information as to where the MacBook Pro was purchased.

    I have snow leopard 10.6.8 and want to get on iCloud which requires Lion... should I buy Lion at $29.99 now and upgrade to Mountain Lion when available (I can't see where it is available for download yet) and what is cost of upgrade to Mountain Lion?   Or should I simply wait for Mountain Lion?

    I would wait for Mountain Lion to be released. According to Apple, Mountain Lion will be released by end of July 2012.
    It will cost you only $19.99 to upgrade. You can find all the details at the following link...

  • Post upgrade to Mountain Lion - no access and error with IPhoto

    Hi, I work on MacBook Pro 17 inch with operating system OSX 10.8.1.  Since I have upgraded to Mountain Lion, I am unable to access IPhoto.  Whenever I enter the programme through the icon, I receive start up message stating 'updating thumbnails'.  After about 2 of minutes, it crashes and I receive error message as below.  What do I need to do fully operational IPhoto?

  • HT4906 I have upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and updated Iphoto to latest, however, I still can not access photos sent to me via photo stream. what else do I need to do? I'm $30 into this effort, and no results!

    I have upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and updated Iphoto to latest, however, I still can not access photos sent to me via photo stream. what else do I need to do? I'm $30 into this effort, and no results!

    Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.  Then log back in and re-enable, respectively.  That should jump start Photo Stream.
