Can I now delete iPhoto after upgrading to Photos

I have upgraded to photos synced everything across iCloud and everything seems to be fine.
I have a migrated library showing in iPhoto
showing a size of 43gb. I know it is not this size but is it safe to delete the iPhoto library. And also can I delete the iPhoto app its nearly 2gb

Do not delete iPhoto!
Remember, we now live in the world of downloaded software. Programs can get removed or changed and you have no ability to reinstall later. In fact this has already happened with iPhoto.  You can still buy older versions of iPhoto sold on disk but not the current (download only) versions.

  • Should I delete iPhoto after upgrading to Photos?

    Hi everyone -
    Since I only have a 750 GB SSD, I like to save space wherever and whenever possible. I have almost 20 GB of photos in the iPhoto library, now that I've installed Photos can I remove that folder and the iPhoto application?
    Thanks in advance for the help!
    Chris

    Yes.

  • Can't install newest iphoto after upgrading to Yosmite

    Hi guys,
    After upgrading my OS to Yosmite, my iPhoto icon has a "no-entry" icon covering over it. When I tried to open, it asks for an update. When in the app store, I can't seem to install the newest iPhoto app. Anyone experiencing the same problem and able to rectify it?

    I can't seem to install the newest iPhoto app.

  • Can I recover deleted videos after upgrading from ios7 to ios8 ?

    Hello-
    I am currently running my iphone 5S (locked) on ios7. I recently deleted some pictures and videos by mistake and want to recover them. I did not backup my iphone on itunes or icloud. I tried some recovery softwares but they all seem to be useless. They only show me my photo album - what a bummer....
    I understand deleted videos & photos show up in a separate folder for 30 days in ios8. If I upgrade from ios7 now, will I see recently deleted photos/vidoes ? Or will this feature only apply to pics deleted after installation of ios8 ? Can someone please advise ? I dont want to risk updating and have new ios8 version overwrite on deleted data and I completely lose any hope of recovering it. 
    Apple experts please advise ?

    And that's why your data will be unrecoverable.  No matter what iOS comes out or what features are available, you should always be backing up your devices. 
    iCloud is free and automatic, and you get 5GB for free and can upgrade the amount of storage for as little as 99 cents per month (20GB). 
    iTunes is free and has as much storage space as your computer will allow.
    You can import photos to your computer from your iPhone whenever you want.
    You can use services such as email, messages, Dropbox, etc.
    You can go to a photo kiosk and transfer photos/videos to CD/DVD.
    Sorry, but there's no valid excuse for not having data backed up or copied elsewhere.
    Start making backups now, especially before you update.

  • How can I get back iPhoto after upgrading to mountain lion

    I've upgraded to mountain lion and lost iphoto. Do I need to re buy it?

    Actually, I have the same problem. After a clean install of Mountain Lion only Garage Band and iMovie appear in my purchased list.
    If I look for iPhoto, it appears as a regular application that I have to buy... again? Wasn't it included with iLife when I bought my computer?

  • I can't update my iPhoto after upgrading to Maverick

    I just upgraded to Mavericks and ever since, my iPhoto (v. 9.2) will not work. It has a grey circle with a line through it over the application. I do see in my app store I have an update for iPhoto 11, but when I try to upgrade it and enter my apple ID, I get this error message. I only have this one apple ID and password, so I have no idea why it is saying this. I am so scared I've lost my photos!!!
    Error message reads:
    Update Unavailable with this Apple ID:
    This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
    I do not understand this or what to do. I have not ever tried to purchase this previously.
    PLEASE HELP!!

    You must log into th eApp store using the Apple ID that was used to set up the computer
    If that is not working then you must contact App store support - link is on the right of the app store windw

  • Imported thousands of photos without "copying" them to Library. Can I now have iPhoto automatically "copy" those photos?

    I have thousands of pictures in my iPhoto library. Many of them were not "copied" into iPhoto when imported. I had my preferences set that way to save space on my system's hard drive. I just kept those pictures on a separate hard drive in my Mac Pro. Now I would like iPhoto to automatically "copy" those into it's library while maintaining their locations in Albums and Events. (I realize this will add many GB to the size of my Library).
    Is there a way to do this?

    No - what  version of iPhoto are you running? Prior to iPhoto '11 Alias herder could be used to do this - http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/downloads/aliasherder/

  • Accessing folders/events that were in iPhoto After Upgrade to Photos for Mac

    I had 82 events/albums in iPhoto. What is the best process to access these folders on all my OS devices in Photos for Mac?

    Events and Albums are not the same thing in iPhoto. Iphoto Events are converted to Albums when you migrate to the new app. Using iCloud library is probably the best way to access these on your iOS devices.

  • Cannot update my iPhoto after upgrading to Yosemite

    27" iMac, 2.93 GHz i7 processor, Yosemite 10.10.  Can no longer use iPhoto after upgrading.  I get a message that this update is not available for this Apple ID because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.  How do I fix this?

    You must be logged in using the Apple ID used to purchase iPhoto or to set up your Mac - If you are logged in with the Apple ID that was used to purchase iPhoto or to set up the computer if it came preinstalled then quit iPhoto, backup your iPhoto library  and drag the iphoto application to the trash (do not empty the trash yet) and then go to the App store and install iPhoto
    If this does not allow you to upgrade then you need to contact App store support  - link i son the right of the app store window

  • Imported new photos to iPhoto - can I now delete the old folders?

    I just finished importing a bunch of photos from folders on my Mac into iPhoto. Can I now delete those folders?

    As long as you have iPhoto setup to copy photos into the library (a managed library) when imported
    you can delete the folders.

  • Unable to open iPhoto after upgrade to 9.1.3 (bought on apple store)

    Hello all
    I am unable to open my iPhoto after upgrading it with version 9.1.3 , bought in the apple store.
    The searching icon never stops.
    I trieded to synchro with my iPad (where I have a backup of all my pfoto's) but the system tells me that all photo's are still on my Mac.
    Can someone help me out, because I am rather a rookie in this kind of things
    regards
    Waldo

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library. If you can then then your library is the culprit.
    If that's the case make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library (Finder ➙ File ➙ Duplicate) and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How to install iPhoto after upgrading to yosemite?

    how to install iPhoto after upgrading to yosemite?

    Download it from the App Store as Matt suggested.  You may have to move the current version to the Trash Bin (don't delete yet), go to the App Store and look for iPhoto 9.6 under purchases.  It will be free.
    What iPhoto version did you have prior to the Yosemite upgrade?  If it was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll also have to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before opening it with iPhoto 9.6.

  • Where is my iphoto after upgrading to yosemite??

    Where is my IPHOTO after upgrading to yosemite ??

    Ok so here's what you gonna do. (had this problem myself today, and after some fiddling figured out what to do.)
    Find your old iPhoto with a cross through it, right-click it and select 'show package contents'. A folder will open. In that folder go to Contents>MacOS and there will be three little things there. Click on the one called 'iPhoto' and terminal will open. Leave terminal open and wait four seconds and VOILA! iPhoto opens. Leave terminal open until you are finished with iPhoto, because if you close terminal, iPhoto will close with it. THX! ENJOY! Hope it works.
    P.S.
    You can close terminal once you close iPhoto. I also suggest backing up your iPhoto library while you can.
