iPhoto and iMovie gone after Mavericks upgrade

1 - if your applications were erased then it is user error - you choose to do that - a notmal upgrade does not erase anything

2 - to get them back you reinstall from the original source - which may be the restore didsk that came with your computer, a purchased iLife upgrade or the app store using the Apple ID you used to set yoru computer up

3 - if you do not own iPhoto '11 then you will have to pruchase iPhoto '11 at the App store in any case

Just to add to what LarryHN said,

If you purchased the MacBook second-hand then the iLife apps that came with it were probably registered to the original owner.

If you are the original owner and the apps came pre-installed (no discs) then make sure the MacBook was registered with your Apple ID here: https://supportprofile.apple.com

so please read my responce

2 - to get them back you reinstall from the original source - which may be the restore disk that came with your computer, a purchased iLife upgrade or the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up

Maybe it is clearer using bullet points rather that standard English puncuation

To get them back you reinstall from the original source

which may be

1 - The restore disk that came with your computer,

2 - a purchased iLife upgrade or

3 - the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up - in this case you go to the App store under purchases

Only you know what the original source is

As as to who should pay for yoru mistake -- obviously if your mistake creates a cost then you should pay the cost you created - pretty simple stuff

As to Time Machine - yes they should be there but it is better to reinstall them - copying from a backup dose not work well for applications

You can register it from the link: https://supportprofile.apple.com

Click the Register & Add products link at the bottom of the list and enter your Serial Number.

You can get it here:  > About This Mac > More Info... > Serial Number

Can't answer what Apple charges for and does not

Of course you can take it to an Apple store and request help

and as I said in my post

in this case you go to the App store under purchases

this should give you the reinstall links since you appearently accepted the applications form the App store

You can reinstall it again - but you do not have the information to do that - sorry that you find facts being a jerk - but then maybe the jerk is the one who is calling others names - some would think that

Have a nice day and hope that you find a way to resolve your error without my assistance - I choose not to interact with name callers

LN

PS I could care less what you choose to do with yoru Apple stock and your computer - it makes no difference to me - I gave you the information yo need to fix the problem you created - you now make your choices on what to do

I just upgraded to Mavericks and lost iPhoto, too. I believe it was because the existing iPhoto is not compatible with Mavericks. In this case, it is an old laptop so iPhoto came on the installation disk. I need to buy iPhoto from the App store in this case, since I haved to upgrade anyway.

The first Macbook Pro to come with out disks had Lion pre-installed along with iLife 11. Therefore you should not have to purchase iPhoto, iMovie, etc. Go to the App Store, sign out and then sign back in with your Apple ID and password and try again. \

My wife had the same situation when she upgraded to Mavericks and this is what we did to fix the issue.

1. Open up App Store

2. Click Store > Sign In...

3. Sign in with your app store credentials

4. Go to iPhoto and hopefully you can install without having to pay because you are already authorized to download the app.

Good luck!

Hey buddy,

All you have to do is go to the app store and click on the purchases tab (sign in will be prompted at some point), then iphoto, garage band and imovie will be in there to install again.

I hope i'm not too late in helping, i panicked and couldnt find it, can't believe how simple it was to get back.

I have the same problem, installed Maverick and iLife and iWork gone - remembered these apps came with the Leopard when I purchased the MBP, remembered I asked the iStudio where I purchased and they confirmed it's legal licences.

I only got the Mac install CD but not the iLife/iWork CD. Don't remember which version was in my old system.

I went to App Store, signed in, it indicates I have to "Buy App" (not Install), and I just clicked that... and now it's Installing...

Regreted I clicked too fast, hopefully I am not going to be charged ... or I will be charged and will be sad.

If I am charged, I think Apple should gives clearer warning for normal user like me that I could loose some of the Apps I own after installing Maverick.
