Missing Themes

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.

Restoring iPhoto Themes

First look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation process described below:

1 - delete the current application.

2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.

3 - delete the Themes folder from your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder. Also look in the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there then delete it also.

4 - mount the system disk that came with your computer, double click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" file and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.

After installing reinstall the latest iPhoto updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime version.

If you have TimeMachine here is something easier:

Navigate to /Libray/Application Support/iPhoto

Make sure that you have quit iPhoto and that only the iPhoto folder is selected in Application Support. Enter TimeMachine, select a save image that includes the Themes folder, hit Restore. Restart iPhoto.
