So yesterday I reset my iMac 10.10.5, I managed to set the Mac up again and it downgraded to 10.9.5,I can't find iMovie, iPhoto or Garageband! I've looked in Finder, Spotlight and launchpad and I can't seem to find them!!! I hope a computer genius is here to save the day!!! please help!!!! I am really confused!!! my computer feels so naked...

Crying internally...

Those apps would have been installed originally since new on your Mac, but none are not a default part of a reinstalled OS X system, such as after erasing your hard drive completely, or after replacing your hard drive with a new, blank hard drive.
Go into your App Store, then the Purchased tab. You may see everything that you want listed there, because you would have been offered updates to those since Mavericks - and you can download them again from there.
Or, you can search for Garageband, etc, under the Featured tab. It should come up, then offer you a free download
Or may ask you to purchase the apps.

Alright, nothing came up

I'm going to update it and see if that helps
