How to use iphoto after yosemite 10.10.3, that have disabled it for new photo app?

My iMac did install new yosemite 10.10.3 telling me that new Photo app was "best ever" but now I can't open old iPhoto library because it was in old format of iPhoto library and the iPhoto app was now unusable because new Photo app. Can you help me!!??

and the iPhoto app was now unusable because new Photo app. Can you help me!!??
Which version of iPhoto do you have installed? With Yosemite, MacOS X 10.10.3, you need to update iPhoto to version 9.6.1. Only that version is fully compatible.
Apple stopped selling iPhoto, but anyone who bought iPhoto from the AppStore or updated it to a version sold at the App Store (iPhoto 9.4.5 or later) will be able to reinstall from the App Store by downloading from the Purchases tab.
If you have any version of iPhoto, that has been updated from the AppStore and is associated with your Apple ID, try to reinstall from the "Purchases" page.
Unhide iPhoto, if it is hidden on your Purchases page (See this link: Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases)
Trash the incompatible iPhoto version, but don't empty the Trash.
Reload your Purchases page at the App Store with ⌘R
Then download from that page.
The step "Trash the incompatible iPhoto version, but don't empty the Trash." must not be skipped. If Spotlight sees a version of iPhoto installed, the AppStore will try to update instead of reinstall, which does not work.

Is it safe to update iPhoto 8.1.2 to 9.5.1 or should I just wait for new Photos app with OS X Yosemite ?

iPhoto has always been slow and less than reliable to use. Have never updated it because of concerns with updates. Will current pics in iPhoto get transferred to new Photos app with OS X Yosemite somehow or will I be stuck using both apps?

I do experience slowness/unresponsiveness and freezing in iPhoto,
Two points:
1. These sound like a damaged Library file and you might try repairing it.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
and from reading numerous posts, I am quite certain that many users have had similar experiences.
The problem with this is that the folks who don't have any problems never post, so you're working from a skewed sample.

How do I use an iPhoto library stored on an external HDD (time capsule) on the new photos app?

I have recently upgraded to a MacBook Air with the latest 10.10.3 updates as such it has photos installed, not iPhoto. The MacBook I'm upgrading from still had 10.9 and as such had iPhoto app.
The MacBook air has a smaller SSD (128GB) than the HDD from my 2008 MacBook, and isn't big enough to store my iPhoto library (over 150GB). I want to just keep my library on the external HDD (which is an Apple Time Capsule).
When I follow the steps on Designate a System Photo Library in Photos - Apple Support it seems to want to import all the photos, it took hours to get to just 3% of importing so I left over night. In the morning it said my MacBooks storage isn't big enough, which of course it isn't - I didn't want to import the library on my new MacBook Air !
I just want to change the location that photos looks for the library every time it opens, I don't actually want it to import the whole library which it appears to have tried to do. thanks!

Thanks for getting back to me!
It is connected over wireless. I don't have an RJ45 connection on the MacBook Air (although will purchase an adapter if needed). Even if I do have an RJ45 connection does this mean I can only ever use wired to view my external photo library?
I suppose having the wired connection will give me the time to organise my photos and delete some of the rubbish (which I would have liked to do on my old MacBook first but it was running too slow, especially with such a big photo library - so I treated myself to a new MacBook Air so I did!).
And I guess I could then put my favourite photos on the MacBook Air and have a separate library of older/lesser used photos on the Time Capsule and just access those as and when over RJ45 network cable. I prefer to use wireless as much as possible as the Time Capsule is normally stored in a room I don't use the MacBook or other wireless devices !

How to export photos to new Photos App

Any one know what the setting are to get LR to export to the new iPhoto app?

there was a built in option to export from LR to iPhoto
There was never such an option. A number of people have discussed various methods for getting pics from LR to iPhoto, all of which involve multiple steps. Some of these methods use iPhoto's "auto import" to reduce the steps. Unfortunately, the new Photos app doesn't appear to have "auto import".
Perhaps you were thinking of importing from iPhoto into LR? There is a builtin command to do that.
i'm sure some one will post the setting to do this soon.
There is no such setting in LR. Given that the Photos app doesn't have "auto import", it looks like you'll need to first export to a folder from LR and then manually import into Photos.

Do I have to use iCloud with new Photos app?

I see that Apple has eliminated iPhoto and is going to require me to update to the new Photos app. When I read what Apple has to say about the update/change I am worried that I have to put my photos on the iCloud... I read quotes like "If you shoot a snapshot, slo-mo, or selfie on your iPhone, it’s automatically added to iCloud Photo Library as well" and "iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos in the cloud" directly from the Apple website. I absolutely do NOT want my photos on the iCloud. I currently take photos on my phone and upload them onto my Mac when I want to, and I want to continue to do this. So I'm trying hard NOT to update my software until I understand better what the new Photos app will require of me. Any help is appreciated.
Update is OS X 10.10.3, Photos app

I see that Apple has eliminated iPhoto and is going to require me to update to the new Photos app.
For the time being is iPhoto still working very well with the latest release of MacOS X 10.10.3. You can try out the new Photos for Mac app, while you are still keeping your main Photos library in iPhoto.
With MacOS X 10.10.3 you need iPhoto 9.6.1. Apple does not sell iPhoto any longer, so you can neither update it nor purchase it. But you can reinstall, if you already own iPhoto and it is associated with your Apple ID.
See this user Tip:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.
You may need to unhide your Purchases, if you do not see iPhoto on the Purchases page when you sign into the AppStore with your AppleID:
See this link: Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support

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.

I can't get a full screen picture using iPhoto with yosemite. how can i do that?

How do I retrieve my photos from iPhoto after Yosemite 10.10.3 update on my Macbook Pro?

I have a MacBook Pro and just updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
I noticed I had the Photos icon that the same as on my iPhone was on the dock where my iPhoto icon was. How do I get my photos from iPhoto?
Thank you in advance!

Apple does not sell iPhoto any more at the App Store.
But you should be able to reinstall from the Purchased tab of the AppStore, if iPhoto is showing among your purchases. You may need to unhide your purchases. Also try the "Updates" tab at the App Store.
See this post by Tom Perkins:
Re: how do i sort albums by date in the new photos app?
I just went through the situation of not finding iPhoto 9.6.1 in the App Store. Working with Applecare, the solution was to (a) delete the iPhoto app, (b) restart my iMac, (c) go to the App store and click on Purchases, and (d) reinstall iPhoto. In my case, for some reason, iPhoto was hidden from my purchases. Go to Store > View My Account, and go to Manage for Hidden Purchases, where you can unhide iPhoto. Once I did that, things seemed to work okay.

How do I fix orientation of photos after they were changed after importing iPhoto library into new Photo app in Yosemite?

When I switched over to the new Photos app in Yosemite v10.10.3 and imported my iPhoto library to it, random photos in my library had their orientation changed. Some are upside down and some are turned on their side. I have a huge photo library, so this is frustrating. Hoping I don't have to go in and fix each one. I tried rebuilding my library by lauching Photo holding down option+command, but that didn't fix anything. Please help! Mahalo!

You do not have duplicate albums or photos.
Photo Stream
http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html
The Camera Roll is for photos/videos that were captured by your iPhone, and for a photo saved from a received email, MMS, or from a website. These photos are also placed in the Photo Stream to be synced with your computer and/or with another iOS 5 device. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. The photos in the folders or albums below include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in a particular folder or album below only by selecting the folder or album, or you can view all photos in all folders or albums be selecting Photo Library.
This cannot be changed.
Removing photos or folders/albums of photos from your iPhone that were transferred from your computer via the Tunes process is done in the same way - via the iTunes sync process.

How do I get the new Photos App to use my iPhoto library which is stored on an external drive?

2 years back  assisted me in putting my HUGE iPhoto library on an external TB drive where I store all my pics and videos. They showed me how to point the iPhoto app to the iPhoto Library on my external, and it has worked flawless since. But now that I updated to the new release of Yosemite OS X, the Photos app failed to find it. And from what it looks like, it requires it to be stored locally on the iMac's drive... which I only have 500Gigs, and that was the whole reason for relocating the library...it's WAY bigger than 500Gigs. I would like to see if there is a way for the Photos app to find the iPhoto Library on my external, and update it so I can take full advantage of the new app and it's features.
Any help would be appreciated...!

Hey spdnbusa09,
If you hold down the Option key on your keyboard and launch Photos it should let navigate to and select you iPhoto Library on your external HD.

Need help reloading iPhoto after Yosemite loaded

I put OS X Yosemite on my computer yesterday. Today iPhoto had a symbol over it and would not open. I found a similar page and it said to delete iPhoto and close app store and reboot and then reload iPhoto. When I went back into the app store the there is no iPhoto app to upload. Please help me get it back.

As of 10.10.3, iPhoto is no longer supported. You'll need to migrate your iPhoto library into the new Photos app.

HT5037 How to use iPhoto Library Upgrader

How to use iPhoto Library Upgrader

Hello Terence,
sorry that I come here with a completly different thema but I follow your answers since long and they are always excellent! And I do not know who could help... as I can not find the solution in Apple Support Communities.
I am very afraid with my MacBook Pro: midd. 2012
Prozessor: 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7
4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 4000 384 MB
Software: OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
Kernel-Version: Darwin 12.5.0
iPhoto 11, Version: 9.4.3 (720.91)
iPhone 4s, 64GB Version:7.0.2 (11A501),
Symptoms:
1. I have notice three days ago that Spotlight allways answers I should go to the web when I look for data in my computer. It seems that Spotlight can not find anything from my computer.
2. Timemachine has no data before the 28th. January 2014 (!?) No idea why this happens
3. In Finder window when I go to "Alle meine Daten"(= All my data) there is absolutely nothing there...it means 0 objekts are there.
4.In Systemeinformationen (=Systeminformations) if I go to Software and then to Programs... there is nothig there because the Plug-In do not react quick enough (Das Plug-In hat beim Sammeln dieser Informationen nicht schnell genug reagiert). I am asking me which Plug-In it is and where to find it...
5. On my iPhone the Photo-stream suddenly shows only 110 fotos from Dezember on, but in My MacBookPro the iPhoto Stream shows of course the lasts 1000 ones...from 25.01.2013 to 03.02.14 as it did allways before.
I am not going to sync anything until I discover what is going on...
6. On my Contacts suddenly appeared the link address of a "game" in my own card ( both in iCloud and Lokal AddressBook)... and I have never ever played an online game (!?). So I deleted this two links as I discovered them some days ago...
I do not know what is going wrong here but I'm afraid to loose all my data in the computer, so I am making a secure copy in an external drive right now...
Could it be a virus inside... a software problem may be...?
The mayor Problem is how to get the programms to work (Spotlight, etc), or how to repair them.
I'm trying to find something wrong in the Protocols I have here, for example
- the Repair protocol for users from 27.01.2012 ( /Users/Begona/Library/logs/fsck_hfs.log).
- the Datasystem-Reppairprotocol from 01.02. 14 (/var/log/fsck_hfs.log)
- the Installationsprotocol from 04.02.14...
but I am really lost.
Thank you very much for reading this, help would be high appreciated

Why it´s not possible to use IPhoto after the Maverick Update ?

Why it´s not possible to use IPhoto after the Maverick Update ?

I can not make a free update. It costs € 13.99 €.
I can not update it.

Cannot access my photos at WD using iPhoto after Mavericks!

Cannot access my photos at WD using iPhoto after Mavericks!

Did it.
iPhoto opens nicely but without the photos:-(
However I can reach the them by: WD > iPhoto Library and then right click Show Package Content > Originals
All the photos are there and reachable manually.
I am guessing that there should be a software patch/update by either Apple or WD to bridge the photo portfolio at the external disk and the iPhoto.
Thanks your efforts.

Using mail on my mac, having upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 i now cant import photos sent via email into the new photos app. if i highlight the photo in mail and right click the mouse the option is still to export to iPhoto !!
