Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Tried to create a folder for photo's to burn to cd. Put it onto desktop and all my photo's were transfered there I think. I deleted what I thought was the folders and somehow deleted my IPhoto icon. Now it won't let me create a new one on the task bar. Not in Finder as well. Help.. I have Leopard. do I need to reinstall it to get the app back?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Help.. I have Leopard.
Your profile signature says "Mac OS X (10.6.8)" - what is it? Leopard or Snow Leopard?
To get iPhoto back you do not need to install the system, but to find the installers for iPhoto. IT will will either be on the second System installer DVD with the bundled applications or you may have bought a separate iLife '09 or iLIfe '11 installer DVD. Use these to reinstall iPhoto, if it is no longer in the applications folder.
After reinstalling iPhoto you will need to update iPhoto to the latest version you used. WithMac OS X (10.6.8) you could update to iPhoto 9.2.3
It says Snow Leopard on the install DVD. How do I find the installer for this on the cd I have? I reinstalled the ILife 09 and it says I have a newer version and it won't allow or support it.
Said it needs IPhoto 9.0 to update. Guess that won't work with my old computer?
I reinstalled the ILife 09
What is the version number that is showing below the iPhoto icon? Does it say iPhoto 8.1.2 or is it a different number?
If it is not iPhoto 8.1.2, try to install the 8.1.2 update.
You can download it from this link: iPhoto 8.1.2
It says Snow Leopard on the install DVD.
Is there a second DVD with bundled applications?
Just inserted my Snow Leopard CD. Reinstalled applications part and still not seeing IPHOTO in Finder. It says "You can't open the application IPhoto because the Classic environment is no longer supported. Help
Will try the second CD that say Leopard.
Didn't give me an IPhoto icon to click on. The IPhoto icon has a circle with a slash through it. Can't figure this one out. Chose to download applications. Is that the right thing to do?
Tried both the 8 & 9 version. There is no icon and that's the problem
Said it needs IPhoto 9.0 to update. Guess that won't work with my old computer?
For iPhoto 9.0 you need an iLIfe '11 installer, not iLIfe '09. The version numbers are rather confusing.
In that case you will not have any luck with your iLife '09 installer or the Leopard disks, if they still have PowerPC code.
Do you have an iLife '11 installer somewhere?
If you cannot find the ilIfe '11 installer, the easiest approach would be to restore iPhoto from a backup. Do you keep a Time Machine backup? Then open your Applications folder, enter Time Machine, and go back in time until you are seeing iPhoto, elect it, and click "Restore".
If all fails, buy iLife '11 from Amazon.
I'll try that. Thanks.
Tried to copy pictures album for Windows users for cd. Now it deleted my iphoto icon and can't open my photos.
