reinstalling without an installation CD???

diamarie, Welcome:

Try the Apple Web site to see if you can download a copy. You may have to supply your Serial # you can get that by opening your system profiler > Hardware > Box on the right > Hardware Overview.

What version of iPhoto are you using and what version of Mac OSX are you using. How much hard drive disk space is available you can get disk space from any Finder window on the bottom not an application window. Double click your hard drive at the bottom of that window it will say > 1 of xx selected, xx GB available.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.

Did you register iPhoto when you purchased it, if so a call to apple support may get them to send you replacement disks. However, there is no way to install iPhoto without an iLife install dsk.

iLife '06 will work on your Mac OS 10.4.10. Under requirements it noted that iTunes 6.0.2 and QuickTime 7 are included but if you have > QuickTime 6 Pro and install > Quicktime Player 7 from iLife, you will lose the Pro version of QT 6 and will have to upgrade QuickTime 7 Player to Pro, if you want to use all of the QuickTime Pro options. Sometimes users miss that notice and are surprised when some of their options are grayed and not available.
If you just use QuickTime Player there should be no problem.

Upgrading to iLife may be a quick fix but it will cost I believe $79 and if you use QuickTime Pro 6 another $30 to restore and use QT Pro 7 options. A big plus is you will have an installer DVD disk with 4 other programs.

If you did register your copy you probably will have to pay for the disk and shipping which could possibly pay for at least part of iLife.

The requirements also note that 10 GB of disk space is required. iLife won't fill all of that space but the extra space is needed for OSX to work. It may pay to move some files to a DVD disk to free up space any new work may fill up OSX's working space and applications may crash because OSX can't swap out info to a full disk.
