I have a macbook pro mac os x version 10.7.5. when i did my last software update something happened and it took most of my info away including the iphoto and now i have no idea how to get it back. im trying to download different versions for the iphoto but it keeps telling me to go back and download an earlier version. help please !
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
do you need to reinstall the iPhoto application?
reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first
Or is your iPhoto library missing? - then restore from your backup bfore before it went missing

i have same problem , i buy used apple macbook pro and i dont have ilife cd but there is old file cold Iphoto on the lap thats mean it was includ with it
What system are you running on MBP? Did you install it or did the MBP come with it?
Since you bought the MBP used you'll have one of two avenues to use:
If you're running 10.6.8 or newer:
purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com and do a custom install of iPhoto. Then update via the Apple - Support - Downloads website to the highest version that your system will support..
If you're running Mavericks:
go to the App Store, sign in with your Apple ID and purchase iPhoto 9.5.1.
If you're running 10.7.5 or newer you can upgrade to Mavericks for free.

im going to upgarde to the mavericks. it has been giving issues since the last upgrade. it turned off and was stuck like that for a few days. im going to give it a try and hopefully it works. i tried to buy the iphoto but it keeps telling me it needs a previous version to upgrade
This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1.
im running on v 10.9.2
and i download iphoto 9.4.3 from here now http://support.apple.com/downloads/#consumersoftware and when i open it says alert iphoto 9.1 or later is required to install this update .
That's an updater for iPhoto 9.1 or later. I you're coming from iPhoto 8 or earlier you need to go to the App Store and purchase iPhoto 9.5.1.
