I would think if you bought as new, you could go back and ask Best Buy to install them.

Looks like someone deleted the iLife apps. If you have another Mac in the
house, you could copy them over.

I never normally use LaunchPad.
I see that the current version has a search bar at the top of its display.
Type iPhoto into the search bar.

I highly recommend:
PaintBrush (free)
http://paintbrush.
It's very much like Microsoft Paint...and it's free!

You will have to give us specs for your computer. Can you select About this mac under the top left apple?

Here are three things to try that are fast, free and easy, that often helps in a situation such as yours.
Uninstall the copy of Flash that you have installed with this uninstaller (Adobe recommends doing this first):
<http://fpdownload.
or
http://is.gd/
Then download the latest version of Flash directly from Adobe, and install it:
http://get.adobe.
Other things that tend to really help:
Close all browsers.
Go to:
In the Finder
Option-click the Go menu
Your ~/Library will appear in the menu; choose it
--> Preferences
and delete this file (it will be rebuilt the next time that you launch your Web browser):
com.apple.quicktime
Delete all of your Flash cookies (this cannot be accomplished using Safari's Security settings; they don't effect Flash cookies)
Delete everything in these two folders (don't be surprised to find that there are hundreds of things in these folders!):
- In the Finder
Option-click the Go menu
Your ~/Library will appear in the menu; choose it
Trash all of the files in the folder at:
/Preferences/
- In the Finder
Option-click the Go menu
Your ~/Library will appear in the menu; choose it
Trash all of the files in the folder at:
/Preferences/
Info about Flash cookies:
<http://www.wired.
If doing all of the above doesn't help (and I'm willing to bet that it will help at least a bit), try uninstalling any anti-virus software that you have installed. (If you are running fully interactive AV software, this may require the developer'
Please let us know if the above does or does not help.

Under OS X 10.6 you don't use the Go menu to get to the user library.
The path is:
[hard drive icon] --> Users folder --> [your user name] --> Library

Only my opinion, you need at least 12 GB RAM to speed up your computer experience. RAM is much cheaper now than in the past. Get the max RAM which may be 16GB.
4GB is just to little for use today.
Then you can go about correcting software problems and settings, after you bump the RAM.

Otto, you know what you are doing, but not everyone does. Especially with as many Switchers we are seeing lately.
That is why Apple had hidden it. And it is still easy enough to get to.
Personally, I don't want it cluttering up the sidebar when with an open Finder window, all you have to do is click Go in the Menu Bar and then press the Option key will show it in the drop down menu, the few times I need it.
And there are even more ways to get to it.

But from the spec the OP gave, it is either a 2006 iMac or a 20-inch 2007. All have an Apple recommended maximum of 4 GB, and the 2007 might be able to use 6 GB.
MacTracker is a great app that help to identify different versions of Apple products. Please donate and keep this app alive. We almost lost it once.
I don't think that it is the RAM, but as Randy suggested, something to do with Flash or possibly an AV app.
And I am plugging away quite happily with my 15" MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz, early 2008, Mac OS X 10.7.5, 4 GB of RAM. But hell, if I had the cash, I'd pop to change out the RAM to get to 6 GB.
I have occasional slow downs browsing, but they seem to be only during busy internet times.

Well, I only have twenty (20) GB RAM and safari (6.0.4) still mucks UP!
Mac OS X 10.7.5, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Totally disgusted with safari problems so installed and use, quite
happily, Chrome.
Am installing most current safari now... Thought Apple was better than
this.

I don't really agree. Most Macs will run a bit faster with more RAM, but for most purposes 4GB of RAM works fine.
One way to immediately rule out not having enough RAM as being the problem, when one is experiencing slow running on a Mac, is to answer the question: "Has your Mac always been slow, or did it just slow down recently?"
If one's Mac has only slowed down recently, and it ran just fine previously with the current amount of RAM, not having enough RAM installed isn't the problem.

Nope, sorry.
First, I assume this is actually a Core 2 Duo, because, while there was a 2GHz Core Duo model (iMac4,1), it could only take 2GB of RAM.
*This* iMac is probably either:
the 20" iMac7,1 sold from August 2007 to August 2008
or
the 17" iMac5,1 sold from September 2006 to August 2007.
The latter can take 4GB, but only 3GB can be addressed.
The former can actually be expanded all the way to 6GB.
