Q: iPhoto disappeared after formatting my Macbook

I had a problem with my Macbook so I had to get it fixed. But before I handed it in, I formatted it hoping it would work and I wouldn't have to pay being that I'm a student. When I formatted it, my iPhoto disappeared! iPhoto was already installed in my Macbook so does that mean I have to purchase another one?

    Well reformating does wipe the drive, so what did you expect?

     

    Reinstall the app from your original source. Did your Mac come with install disks? Or log into the App Store with the ID you used to set up the machine and check the purchases list.
