I just purchased a new iMac and I had to wipe the HDD and reinstall OSx because of an issue with the migration assistant. After I reinstalled OSx I noticed that I no longer had iPhoto installed. I went to the app store but there is no option to reinstall...OSx seems to think it is installed but it doesnt appear in finder!

Completed a clean install of Lion on 2009 IMac and thanks to some help from the Community was able to reinstall Aperture, Logic Express and Final Cut Express, which were supplied on DVD with the original purchase of the IMac (the computer came with these softwares pre-installed). But what do I do about iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie? Oddly, Lion doesn't include these, even though they were included with the initial computer purchase. The App Store wants to charge me for these, and my only option so far is to drag a copy (in this case GarageBand) from my backup drive, which generated a "Instrument Library in invalid!" error.

I woke up, went to my late 2011 MacBook Pro and it took forever for the display to wake up, and it kept showing beach ball. After some minutes, the login prompt came up but with the beach ball still spinning. After waiting for like 3 minutes I decided to shut it down by pressing the power button. The computer restarted and it's giving me a screen to re-install Lion from a backup or from the app store. I shut it down to see if it will work fine, but I keep getting the same screen re-install screen. Now what I want to know is will re-installing from the app store wipe away my documents? And don't have a backup to re-install from.

I want to wipe my system and only restore certain files to keep my system uncluttered and fresh. I use Time Machine so I thought I don't have anything to do now that everything is backed up. Someone told me once that Time Machine files can only be accessed by the user that created them (me). If I wipe my hard drive, that user will no longer exist. When I reinstall OS X, it will be a new user, so would that new user still be able to easily access and copy back the files from the Time Machine drive onto the internal drive?
I know there's a feature called "Browse other Time Machine Disks" but I don't know if that allows me to do anything I want and whether it will conflict with the new system. I also know about Migration Assistant but I don't want to use such automatic methods since I'm afraid it will restore problems from my old system. So in short, will I be able to easily get my files back one by one (not "all or nothing" like with Migration Assistant) from Time Machine when I will have my clean, freshly reinstalled OS X, with possibly a different username? Or does this only work if I type in the exact same user name as I am using now?
Does anyone know what would be a good hard disk wipe program for the intel iMacs? I am also wondering if Dban works as well.

I want to do a clean install of Snow Leopard.
Could I just copy all of my music files, documents etc to my BootCamp partition, then reformat and install Snow Leopard on the other partition? Or does it wipe the entire drive?
if you have a full backup, then you can macbook pro completely wipe and reinstall with the installation CD ofsnow leopard with nothing to lose?

When using the Disk Utility free space wipe to wipe sensitive data (using the 7 times option), I thought that would be sufficient.
I was wondering though, does the free space wipe option also wipe the slack files on the hard drive? Is this even an issue for a Mac? (I know on Windows the slack file needs to be wiped for a completely secure erase, right?)
After a problem with iPhoto, i would like to reinstall it. However, whenever i insert the Application Install Disc which came with my Mac, the option to install it is blanked out (ie. Skipping it).

How do I now reinstall iphoto 06? which seems to be the only app that doesn't work. Can I use the OSX discs that came with the computer initially, can I select only the ilife'"06 package from this to reinstall that only, or will this reinstall the entire operating system and wipe my computer?

I had to reinstall my OS(long story) and everything came back except for IPhoto. I used the reinstall software that came with the computer and found the iLife file. I have since reinstalled iLife ....everything else came back fine(iMovie, Rockband, etc.) but not iPhoto.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm an apple newbie. I accidentally deleted iphoto and safari. I easily downloaded safari again, but how do I download iphoto again. I already deleted the trash, so it's not there anymore. I assume I will be required to use my Mac OS X installation discs in order to reinstall my iphoto. However, how do just reinstall iphoto individually and not all the other applications which are still there? Also, will I be able to recover any lost photos?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

I have transferred photos from my windows laptop to the shared folder in 'macintosh' so this library is available for all three user profiles, however there are folders within i would like only for designated users.
How can I save these folders to the picture folder when logged in to a specific account? I would then like to delete these folders from the shared library.
At the moment I can only click on the iPhoto library which takes me there and shows me the folders but i cannot see anyway of selecting specific folders and moving them to another location.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running iPhoto 6 on a Mac running Mac OS X Version 10.4.11. I found several photos in the iPhoto trash that I wanted to add back to my library. I dragged and dropped the photos from the Trash back to the Library (I hadn't read the directions about reimporting them from the Trash, so I didn't execute that important step).
Now, the thumbnails of the photos show up in the library and the information for each photo shows that each is about a 1.2 MB JPEG image. However, when I click on the photo or try to export it, nothing shows up. I have tried putting the photos back in the trash and reimporting them, but that hasn't worked. I still can only see the thumbnail. I have also tried searching for the image names on my hard drive, but nothing is found. What can I do to get my photo properly installed back in my iPhoto library?
I can't open my iPhoto because I downloaded OS X months ago. I am sick of the App Store icon showing I have two updates - iPhone and iMovie - that I can NOT update. Also I am blocked from getting into iPhoto to boot!!!! Here's what's on the screen when I try to update these programs.
