Yeah. I remember going through Snow L -> Lion. I wanted a clean system so had to make an ISO. Process reminded me a linux install from USB from 10 years back.

And I lost iPhoto. Because suddenly my Macbook Air stopped being eligible for free iPhoto.
- 3am_hackernews 14y agoHaha, yes - I lost my iWork apps likewise.
- aidos 14y agoI had an annoying scenario recently. I reinstalled Snow L on an older machine and then could no longer reinstall iphoto. I'd paid for it on my app store account but there was no way to install the older version (and I couldn't upgrade to the newer version). Once again reinforced the danger of the cloud hosted licensing model; software I paid for wasn't actually mine to keep/use.
- X-Istence 14y agoIf I remember correctly, when I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion I too lost my iPhoto, but that was because a newer version was required than the one I owned, so I had to re-purchase it.

Because suddenly my Macbook Air stopped being eligible for free iPhoto. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2604 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2604 iPhoto is part of the iLife package, a paid product. It is not part of OS X, but when you get a new Mac the latest version is thrown in for free. Maybe I've gone through too many OS X installations in my time but this neither surprises nor frustrates me in any way...
