Need iPhoto for OS X Lion 10.7.5 ASAP

I recently (finally) upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion.


I now see that iPhoto is gone! I need to access a number of photos stored within albums or groups which I created in iPhoto.


I tried looking through the iPhoto Library package contents, but I cannot find custom albums (only the Events). I need to access the photos in a custom album, urgently. Is iPhoto available for download for Lion? I don't have time to order a CD, etc. Thanks in advance.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.5), iPhoto

The upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion does not delete iPhoto, or did you erase your System drive before installing Lion? iPhoto is not part of Lion. It needs to be installed separately.

Sometimes the upgrade only removes the installed apps from the Dock. Have you checked, if iPhoto is still in the applications folder?


Either restore iPhoto from the backup you made before you upgraded to Lion or use the installer disks you originally used to install iPhoto, either your iLife '11 installer disks or the system install disks for Snow Leopard that came with your Mac. The second disk with bundled applications should have an iPhoto installer.
