I'm an apple newbie. I accidentally deleted iphoto and safari. I easily downloaded safari again, but how do I download iphoto again. I already deleted the trash, so it's not there anymore. I assume I will be required to use my Mac OS X installation discs in order to reinstall my iphoto. However, how do just reinstall iphoto individually and not all the other applications which are still there? Also, will I be able to recover any lost photos?

Thanks.
 
Welcome to Mac.

To reinstall iPhoto, there is a program out there called Pacifist (link) that will let you go into your installer disk to find the iPhoto installer package. Pretty handy. There's instructions on how to use it all over this forum, just search for Pacifist.

As for getting back lost photos, as long as you didn't throw away the iPhoto Library file in your Users/yourname/Pictures folder, they'll still be there when you reinstall iPhoto. If you did throw it away, well, then i hope you have a backup.

Good Luck.
