To re-install iPhoto


1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)


2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.


For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:


2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.


2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type


/var/db/receipts/


2c: on 10.7 or later they're at


/private/var/db/receipts


A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.


3. Re-install.


If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.


If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.


*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?


iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

"Sie können das Programm 'iPhoto' nicht öffnen, da es von diesem Mac-Typ nicht unterstützt wird."?


Diese Fehlermeldung is ganz typisch für die Situation, wo eine Version einer Applikation gestartet wir, die mit dem Betriebsystem oder der Hardware nicht kompatibel ist. Haben Sie noch eine weitere (ältere) iPhoto Version installiert, vielleicht auf einem Netzwerkslaufwerk oder einer Sicherungskopie, die irrtümlich gestartet wird, anstelle von iPhoto 9.5.1?Hat der MAcMini irgendwelche Besonderheiten? Eine spezielle Grafikkarte, z.B.?

Oder befindet sich die iPhoto Mediathek auf einem NAS?


Wieviel freier Speicherplatz ist auf der Systemplatte? Haben Sie den Mac Mini einmal neu gestartet?
