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 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 folders after upgrading?

    I'm new to Mac and I just upgraded to 10.4.3. Do I need to delete any folders or anything to keep it running smooth? Did 10.4.3 simply just replace 10.4.2 ? Or are all the folders copied? I'm showing the same amount of disk space, and I still see the same disks listed under disk utilities. I'd just like a brief sypnosis on what actually happens when one upgrades. Sorry for being so neurotic.

    Hi Gaubie,
    Welcome to the world of Macs!
    (in addition to Allan's excellent reply)
    After using Software Update, the only thing you can do to complete a very cautious, safe Update, is Repair Permissions with Disk Utility (in the Utilities folder).
    In any other case, except for Apple software coming from your install DVD or Apple Download site, repairing permissions has no positive nor negative effect, as explained in the linked KB article.
    Enjoy your new Mac!

  • 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.

  • My iPhoto pictures are all gone after upgrade to Photos

    Can anyone please help!!! All my pictures from iPhoto are all gone after upgraded to Photos tonight. Anyone know how I can recover them?

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library.
    BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Downloading Aperture has slowed down photo editing on my iMac.  Should I delete iPhoto?

    Downloading Aperture has slowed down photo editing on my iMac.  Should I delete iPhoto? 

    So it was only the initial preprocessing after an import of a complete library. If your system drive is nearly full, you should expect performance problems. Try to free at least 20% of your drive.
    I would try to keep your iPhoto Application - it is only 1.1 GB and you may need it later; but you can safely delete the iPhoto Library once you are sure, you imported it successfully. iPhoto can do some things Aperture cannot - e.g. greeting cards, calendars. And it is always nice to have a second application for testing purposes, if something should go wrong.
    But make a backup copy of the iPhoto Library, just in case. Sometimes you will notice years later that a single image not imported correctly, and then you will be glad you still have a backup of the original iPhoto library.

  • Should I trash iPhoto after installing Photo?

    Should I trash iPhoto after installing Photo?

    Should I trash iPhoto after installing Photo?
    Why would you want to do that? You paid for it, and Photos cannot do everything that iPhoto can, for example add location data to photos or batch changing the titles. Don't trash iPhoto, before you have explored your migrated photos library thoroughly and are sure, that all photos migrated correctly, and before you have tested all features of the new Photos and are sure, that there are no hidden bugs on your system, that would require reverting to iPhoto until the bugs are fixed.  And even if you, be sure, to keep a backup of iPhoto and your iPhoto library - best make a bootable clone of your system. Better be safe than sorry.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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

  • 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.
