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.

  • I can't update iPhoto after installing OSX 10.9.2, it has the name otto@**** in the apple ID box and will not let me change it. Any thoughts?

    Hello people,
    I can't update iPhoto after installing OSX 10.9.2, it has the name otto@**** in the apple ID box and will not let me change it. Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • Issues printing with iPhoto after installing OS X 10.10.2

    After working with 2nd and 3rd level Apple Support I was able to print photos using iPhoto after installing OS X 10.10.2. I have an HP 7520 all in one ePrinter and the latest Yosemite driver have been installed. When I tried to print a photo using iPhoto the application would hang and I had to force quit to continue. Apple support was able to identify the problem. The iPhoto application had an outstanding print job listed in the Recent heading on the left side of the screen, I do not know how this happened, but after clearing out this print job I was able to print from iPhoto. The Apple Support person said I could avoid this problem by hitting the cancel button located near the print button on the bottom of iPhoto, after any print activity had finished. He said this was a known problem when using iPhoto and Yosemite.

    EW,
    Kernel Panics here on the same model. My problems started after the recent Firmware Update for Airport and Airport Expresses (7.6). No other new software installed besides the Firmware Update and they are occurring daily.
    I haven't seen any remedies yet....

  • I can't update iPhoto after installing yosemite

    i can't update or open iPhoto after installing 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.

    I have resolved this issue with the apple chat support by going to the "purchases" tab in the app store - where there was a message that I had to accept updates for the apps that wouldn't update.  Once I did this, signing in for each of them, they all updated just fine.

  • I purchased iPhoto after installing Yosemite, but App store shows the download is "waiting"

    I purchased iPhoto after installing Yosemite, but App store shows the download is "waiting", with a greyed out box that says pause.

    Hi exyankee,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, an app is stuck on waiting. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • 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.

  • Why is that I am not able to update iPhoto after install os x yosemite?  is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

    "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"  iPhoto is gone after installing to OS X Yosemite.  Where did it go and how do i get all my pictures back ??
    HELP !!!

    "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"  iPhoto is gone after installing to OS X Yosemite.  Where did it go and how do i get all my pictures back ??
    HELP !!!
    Did you upgrade to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 in Mavericks? Then updating to 9.6 may not work - it is buggy at the moment.
    If you already own a version of iPhoto 9.x.x, but cannot update iPhoto, try to buy a new version.  When I look at the AppStore, the price has now changed to "Free", so it should not matter if you buy again or update.
    Delete iPhoto from Applications, but do not empty the Trash.
    Go to the first page of the App Store and sign in with your AppleID.
    Search for "iPhoto" using the Search field.
    What does the button below the iPhoto icon show? If it is showing "Free" like for me, click "free" to purchase again.

  • All of my pictures are gone from iPhoto after installing Yosemite..how do i get them back?

    I have tried everything to get my pictures back after installing Yosemite on my laptop. Are they gone? Or is there a way to retrieve them?

    Define "everything" because if you've tried everything then your last recourse is:
    1 - restore your backup copy of your iPhoto Library created just prior to your Yosemite upgrade or
    2 - Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Could not open iPhoto after installing Yosemite.

    Could not open iPhoto from dock or launch pad after installing Yosemite. Went into the iPhoto application in applications and clicked on MAC OS and then clicked on iPhoto.  iPhoto then opened but when I closed the exec window iPhoto closed.

    Could not open iPhoto as a guest user.
    Was able to open iPhoto in my account when I went to the application list, right clicked on the iPhoto application then chose Show Package Contents, then clicked on Contents and then clicked on MAC OS which then opened iPhoto.
    This is the only way I have been able to open it.
    Thanks

  • Should cs5 be uninstalled after install of cs6

    1. cs6 does not recognizes but will not run 3d party plugins that worked on cs5/64
    2. should cs5 be uninstalled after upgrade to cs6

    Not sure what you are asking. Simply keep your CS5 around until vendors provide updates to whatever plug-ins you may be using. Feel free to uninstall later, but in light of potential compatibility issues you might still keep it around for a while, especially if you exchange files with other people who may not yet have upgraded...

  • What to do with iPhoto after installing and migrating to Photos?

    I'm basically trying to understand what goes on with the pictures after migrating to the new Photos app:
    After migrating to Photos I tried to open iPhoto which warns me that changes will not be visible in Photos. Fine, but will changes still be present in iPhoto? There are some pictures in the trash bin, which I guess will stay until I remove them from there?
    I see both an iPhoto and Photos library among in my Pictures folder, about the same size. From the total disk space I do not think they are duplicates. How does it work?
    Can iPhoto be removed, removing all traces, with no adverse effects on my photo library?
    Another related issue that I haven't figured out: I heard that when editing in iPhoto the application would create a new image and save it on disk, while e.g. LightRoom would just store the edit information? Is it true, and how is it done in Photos?

    I see both an iPhoto and Photos library among in my Pictures folder, about the same size. From the total disk space I do not think they are duplicates. How does it work?
    iPhoto and Photos are sharing the image files using hard links. The photos are only once on your disk, see:
    Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support
    After migrating to Photos I tried to open iPhoto which warns me that changes will not be visible in Photos. Fine, but will changes still be present in iPhoto? There are some pictures in the trash bin, which I guess will stay until I remove them from there?
    The changes will stay applied in the iPhoto Library, yes. And empty the iPhoto Trash, if you want the trash deleted.
    Can iPhoto be removed, removing all traces, with no adverse effects on my photo library?
    It could, but I would wait a bit, before take this step. Check your photos library thoroughly, before you delete if.
    If you should discover later, that the migration of your libraries has been faulty and you need to repeat it after repairing your libraries, you will be out of luck.
    Remember, it is is just a few days after the first release of Photos as version 1.0.  There are very likely some bugs and I would not burn all bridges before the library has been thoroughly tested and you are very confident, that this early Photos release is working well on your Mac.
    Another related issue that I haven't figured out: I heard that when editing in iPhoto the application would create a new image and save it on disk, while e.g. LightRoom would just store the edit information? Is it true, and how is it done in Photos?
    iPhoto and Photos have a lossless workflow like Lightroom. They store the sequence of edits, and create only a preview image of the edited version.  When you add further edits, all edits will be applied starting from the original image, and all edits can be removed and the photo reverted to the original.  With Photos this works also with iCloud Photo Library across all your devices. Edit a photo on your Mac and change the edits on our iPhone.

  • Problem emailing photos from iPhoto after installing OS 10.5.1

    Since installing Leopard I have had problems emailing photos from iPhoto. I can send from my laptop to another Mac without problem BUT when I try to email pix from iPhoto to a PC user or to post on my Google Group board it only sends the 'title' I gave it in iPhoto or the 'PC134567.JPG' the camera assigns it. I have tried exporting and attaching to emails but that doesnt work either .. at least not all the time. AND when I do send them from iPhoto to my office PC they arrive NOT as an attachment but are embedded in the email message .. seriously what the heck is going on and why is this not working the way it used to pre-OS 10.5.1? What changed? How can I make this work the way it used to?
    Thanks for reading and hopefully solving my problem

    Thank you again .. I got home and immediately tried the fix you suggested .. sent a 'test' email and it worked perfectly.
