Iphoto and Yosemite 10.10.3

How can I get Iphoto back now that it shows Photos. With iphoto all my pics were numbered and in order for a perfect slideshow - now all over the plaace - all were sorted in events - now in albums all over the place and it would take me months to sort. PLEASE HELP - OLD TOAD ARE YOU LISTENING?

Glad to hear you know your solution.
When I updated Yosemite, I was a bit surprised and startled to find Photos instead of iPhoto, but then discovered I could still use iPhoto. Now I am using both until I decide which to go for. I must say the Preferences in Photos are rather limited, compared with iPhoto, particularly the loss of ability to choose an outside editor.
Yes, no doubt there are a lot of adverse comments, as always with something new, but if you consider that most people who like the new, or don't care, do not bother to post comments about how great it is, you are likely to get a distorted picture of the real situation.
Give it a try and she might be alright!
Regards.

Updated to Yosemite, no problem. now iPhoto and iMovie won't open. Says I need to update software however, when i try to update indicates my User ID and PW won't work for these two pieces of software. User ID and PW works everywhere else.

I am having the same problem. I even changed my password and updated all of my security information. Now it just gives me an error and retry message, which of course also does not work. Went to support and was going to open a chat (seemed the simpler option) and received a message that my support has expired for this serial number unless I want to pay $29.00. So I chose the option to call later, which was the exact time suck I was trying to avoid. Why wouldn't the new operating system also update the apps that were already part of my old platform?

I recently upgraded to Yosemite on MacBook Pro - unable to open iPhoto and Photo Booth

I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 on my MacBook Pro (bought in 2011). Since the Yosemite upgrade, I have been unable to open both iPhoto and Photo Booth at all. I have lots of photos and need to access them. Both icons of iPhoto and Photo Booth have a circle with a bar across them, in my dock.
When I click on iPhoto I get the message " In order to open “iPhoto”, you need to update to the latest version. The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite. Download the latest version for free from the Mac App Store". I have tried upgrading iPhoto on the App store but get an error message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store" .
Since I cannot even view my photos, I cannot store them elsewhere. Please, can someone help me resolve this problem!!!
For Photo Booth, when I click on it, it says "You can’t use this version of the application “Photo Booth” with this version of OS X. You have Photo Booth 3.0.3" - gives me no option to upgrade at all.
Would appreciate help for both iPhoto and Photo Booth issues described above, with iPhoto being the most pressing concern. Thank You.

The new app is called Photos. It's icon was added to the Dock. Both, Photos and iPhoto, are located in your Applications folder.
If you need to upgrade iPhoto, follow these instructions prepared by Barney-15E: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-8431

How to get iPhoto and iTunes to a clean installed Yosemite from Time Machine

I wiped the Hard Drive and clean installed to OS X Yosemite. For Some reason, some of my Time Machine back ups disappeared or got deleted and it wasn't even full. I had back ups from 2011 and now it only starts from 2013 of June.
Next....when I try to restore my other apps(like iPhoto and my iTunes) I doesn't give that warp space effect in the background. It gives me the window layer effect but I just see the same mountain background on the desktop as the default Yosemite(unless thats how its suppose to look like that?) I can't restore using Time Machine because the little lines at the right are red (see screen shot) and it won't let me restore, and if i go back by using the arrows, if freezes. So,
I don't know how to install the old iTunes and iPhoto on my existing clean installed Yosemite from my Time Machine.
Can someone help me?

@ LarryHN Thank you ver much for you help I understand now that you just can't copy over the old library(got it)
I had the latest version of iPhoto before I cleaned installed.
The link you gave me was most informative and I want to thank you. But still problems arrive.
This came up and I don't know which one to pick

Iphoto and aperture start up problem with Yosemite

Just found out that after installing Yosemite, both my iPhoto and aperture library took very long in order to show up contents after start up. Not sure what causes the delay, does anyone else experience the same problem? For reference, I am using late 2013 15" Macbook pro.

In the case of Aperture you can open the Activity window and check what Aperture is doing.
From Aperture's main menu bar: Window > Show Activity
When Aperture launched the first time, I saw the following activities, that took a noticable amount of time:
Importing iCloud photos
Scanning faces
Rendering previews for iCloud videos.

IPhoto and Nikon NEF files in Yosemite

Hello,
Since I installed Yosemite last weekend, I cannot upload photos from my Nikon D610 NEF (RAW) format. Every time I have tried to upload -either by connecting the camera with the cable or by inserting the memory card in the Macbook- iPhoto starts to idle when I click "import photos". Beach ball appears and after several minutes iPhoto crashes. I use a Macbook Pro 2.8Ghz, intel core i7, 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (late 2011). I even tried doing it one by one... same problem.
Is this a problem that Apple is going to solve: NEF or RAW compatibility with iPhoto and Nikon files? Does anyone now how long for this to get fixed by Apple? I have hundreds of photos in my memory card to upload and work with.
Thank you.

Support for your camera was added in Camera Raw 5.4 which means support will be available in PSE7 and automatically in versions 8, 9 & 10.

Iphotos/mavericks and yosemite

This is all very confusing for a person new to OSX. I have a MBP running Mavericks. I have no inclination to update to Yosemite yet. I have iPhoto 9.5.1. I've already been told by TD that I have taken up extra space by having my photos in my photos folder in addition to having imported them into iPhoto. I don't care at this point. I want to see jpg files not in an iPhoto library. Much of what I need to do with my photos I can do from finder and I like to manage files there. I understand that many of you are long time fans of iPhoto who have talents way beyond my needs. I have been following posts and it seems that my version of iPhoto which I downloaded from the app store last May after I purchased my MBP is no longer there. The updated version is there but not mine until I update to Yosemite. But all this will go away when the iOS compatible Photos app is released. Strangely, I did click on the updated version of iPhoto and saw a message that says "the current version of iPhoto requires 10.10 but you can download the last compatable version" and the download button was blinking blue. Am I wrong in believing that my older version of iPhoto can still be downloaded because I am running Mavericks? Will that all go away when Photos is released even though I'm still running Mavericks or will Photos be available to users of Mavericks?

Your question is not clear
iPhoto is not currently available to Mavericks Or any other older OS unless you have previously downloaded it and can download it from your purchases
If you have not then your only choice it Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6 -- soon your only choice will be OS X 10.10.3 and Photos I suspect unless you currently have older software - if you do have older software you can continue to use it but will not be able to update unless you go the the current versions
What exactly are you trying to find out?

IPhoto, Upgrades, and Yosemite

I have iPhoto 9.5.1 . I can upgrade it through the App Store, assuming the upgrade is iPhoto and NOT Photo for Yosemite (I don't have Yosemite - was concerned about the issues I read about). BUT I have additional iPhoto libraries on two external hard drives - how do I upgrade these? I was going to put the entire set of libraries on one drive. Should I do that and THEN upgrade the iPhoto? I have loaded the photos onto cloud servers as well (I don't want to lose them) so have back ups covered.
Any advice for me?

You upgrade any and every library the same way: by opening it.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
As for what you read about Yosemite: go back and read what they said about whatever version of the OS you are running... Remarkably similar you'll find.

Can not find iPhoto and music files since upload of yosemite

how do you find iPhoto and music files after upgrade of yosemite on my mini mac

Same way as you did before. It doesn't change. More detail in your question might get a better answer.

Unable to update iPhoto and iMovie. "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID"

I updated to Yosemite and all went well but for the message "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID" for the two apps iPhoto and iMovie. I have tried using the terminal window and used code that others have suggested and obtained a SmartSearch. I deleted everything in that folder and I still can't update these two apps. The other apps updated without problems. Thanks for any help.

For a couple of years now, the verson of the iLife apps that come preinstalled on new Macs are the Mac App Store (MAS) versions. MAS apps have the Apple ID that bought them encoded in the app as an anti-piracy scheme. Since these apps are preinstalled, before using any of the three apps, the new Mac owner must open the MAS, go to the Purchases pane and accept these apps into their MAS account. This allows the MAS to encode the owners Apple ID into the apps.
Failure to accept these apps into your account and have them encoded with your Apple ID before using one of them renders the apps "as is" and they cannot be updated or downloaded to another Mac. The only way that I know of to rectify the problem is to use OS X Recovery to erase the Mac and reinstall OS X and the iLife apps, so that the initial setup can be attempted again and the apps be accepted into the MAS account and encoded with the Apple ID.

Can't open iPhoto after Yosemite upgrade MacBook Pro

THe wheel just spins and eventually I have to force quit. I tried resetting the Pram. It's a 2011 15". Need to get into my photos! I know I can access them in Pictures but I'd like to use iPhoto.

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Are you able to create a new library or still get the SWOD (spinning wheel of death)? If you still get the SWOD try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Apps on old Apple ID. Can't access email but will I lose my pics if delete iPhoto and rebuy on new id?

When I bought my iMac, the Apple store helped me set it up (move everything from my p.c. to the Mac. To set up iPhoto, I used my original Apple ID which is now unusable due to changing my email address. I kept the password the same so I could always get into it but it won't work now.
Most of the apps I bought on my original apple id I have deleted since I cannot update them. Now that I have to update iPhoto and can't, I am worried. If I delete iPhoto to buy again on my 5 year old "new" Apple ID, will I lose all my pictures, videos, etc?
What is the work around for this? Losing my pictures is not an option but if I cannot use iPhoto due to upgrading to Yosemite, then what?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

First, try the new password. If you didn't sign out of iCloud prior to changing the primary email address of your Apple ID, this is what can cause this problem.
Also, read this: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support

How to restore iPhoto and iBooks after clean install?

I need to do a clean erase and reinstall of Yosemite. How do I preserve my iPhoto and iBooks content and settings after reinstalling those apps?
Thanks,

I am new to Yosemite and to date have not used Time Machine. I did find another detailed web site that hopefully will answer your questions - Apple OSX and Time Machine Tips. There is a link on that site titled How Time Machine Works its Magic which is very detailed. The author of the website was a respected member of this community. He passed away I believe last year.

I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade and now iphoto will not open correctly anymore. please help

I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade and now iphoto will not open correctly anymore. it stays on the opening screen and the message
shows up that I must update the mediathek. If I click on update the program shuts down. How can I fix this?

I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade
Does that mean, you are running iPhoto 9.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 Yosemite? Or are you using an older MacOS X? "New" iPhoto is relative and depends on your system.
If I click on update the program shuts down. How can I fix this?
Does "shut down" mean it crashes? Then post please the error log from the error panel here - copy and paste the report into your next answer (the first 50 lines should suffice)
Where is your iPhoto Library (Mediathek) stored? Have you moved it to an external drive, or is it still in your Pictures folder (the order "Bilder")?

Deleting images using iPhoto and a 128GB SD card and a Sony a6000

I am having a problem with deleting images after transfer to my mac using either iPhoto or Aperture (All newest version) under Yosemite 10.10.2. What happens is I can transfer images and video from the a6000 into my mac but when asked to delete and answering that it is okay to delete I run into an issue. When after deleting the images in iPhoto and looking at the a6000's stored images there are blanks that have the filenames but know images. I have to format the SD card to get them cleared off the SD card. I would say it is a bug. It happens in both iPhoto and Aperture. And this occurs regardless of if I use an SD USB reader or hook up the camera video USB. The bundled software called PlayMemories from Sony doesn't has a feature to delete the images off the camera. The a6000 is a newer model and I think the way Sony organizes things on the SD card is crazy but it would be nice to have the delete feature in iPhoto actually works like every other camera I've owned.

Yes but... you really don't want to use the iPhoto delete feature.
Never let your computer erase data without you first checking that the data is safe. Specifically never use iPhoto (or any other app) to delete the photos from your Camera Card. Disconnect the camera, check the transfer has gone correctly and then use your Camera to Reformat the Card. This has three advantages:
1. You know your data is safe - because you've taken the time to check it.
2. Reformatting the card is much, much faster - takes a couple of seconds
3. Reformatting also refreshes the Directory Structure on the Card, helping prevent issues with the card and prolonging its life.
But that's my 2 cents.
