Why did apple take iPhoto?

Okay, last years "Big Thing" was iOS 7 and the iPhone 5 series. They gave us iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, you get the gist.
Now a year later they take back iPhoto. What gives?  Is there a reason for this not working with iOS 8?  I lost family videos I made in the phone and never got them over to my Mac before updating.  Yea my mistake, just ticked that they took this feature from us.

Understood, but that seems kludgy and seems to fly in the face of the entire Apple "simplify" philosophy.  There's no reason for Apple to drop a standard that encompasses billions of existing files.  The whole point of MacOS and iOS is that they just work.

  • Why did Apple discontinue iPhoto for iOS?

    Why did Apple discontinue iPhoto for iOS?
    This app offered great features such as the ability to format your pictures and journal and, add comments and context.
    It's disappointing to be forced to migrate away especially when this is a paid app ($4.99). Many other companies may stop supporting paid apps, but at least you can still use the apps.

    Apple did not say why, so we can only speculate.
    But have a look at what has changed in iOS 8. http://www.apple.com/ios/developer/
    The basic frameworks, that support image editing apps and any graphics apps have been completely replaced by newer frameworks, for example PhotoKit. Also, the Photos.app and its library are very different, with the Camera Roll being replaced by the "Recent Activity" album.
    iPhoto used "Photos" to access all photos on the device and did not them separately. The code would have needed to be completely rewritten. Probably, Apple did not want to develop iPhoto a second time, in addition to the new "Photos", but is relying on the third party developers to supplement Photos with extensions:
    PhotoKit
    Developers can enable their photo apps to edit photos directly in the Camera Roll without having to import them first.
    Photo Editing
    Developers can embed their filters and editing tools directly into the Photos app. So you could apply third‑party effects to images without leaving the app where you view your photos.

  • Why did Apple take MIDI support out of QuickTime 10?

    MIDI may not be a prevalent standard, but there's still quite a lot of music written in it.  Why would Apple drop it?  It seems like a giant departure away from Apple's usual philosophy of "everything just works." If I wanted to use an OS where I had to download an entire application every time I needed a new CODEC, I'd still be using Windows!  This was just a bad idea.

  • Why did Apple take away the ability to shuffle videos?

    A firmware update about a year ago took this feature from my 5th gen video iPod; I was hoping other iPods didn't suffer from the same affliction, but lo and behold, my 3rd gen Nano does the same thing. If you set Shuffle to "Songs" or "Albums", the iPod will only play one video in a playlist, then stop. If you turn Shuffle off, and put Repeat to "All" you can play all the videos in a playlist, but only in order.
    Can anyone think of a way around this, short of manually doing the shuffle yourself in iTunes? Or alternatively, anyone know how to contact Apple techs and get this feature put back?
    Thanks
    Paul

  • Why did apple take out YouTube in the new iOS update!!!

    I am so mad that apple took out their YouTube I don't even want this phone anymore I'm not even kidding when I say this if apple brings back theirs I will be very happy but as of right now I do not want to own this phone

    Yeah, Apple is distancing themselves from Google (you may have noticed the maps app in iOS 6 is now an Apple product, no longer Google). But Google does have their own YouTube app available in the app store, which you can download for free. Don't think there's any reason to trash your phone.

  • Apple why did you take the Sites folder with my website in it? Nobody helps!

    Since upgrading to Mavericks I lost my local website folder that used to be in the Sites folder!
    Error: Can't connect, check your info! Oh Apple why did you take it? "H E L P  P L E A S E!"

    Thank you Barney-15E
    I have no clue why this is or why I am getting this error in Mavericks. All I have is a local website folder in the Sites folder using Dreamweaver CS4 to update my files, working perfect on my other drive running 10.6.8 . Why I cant update and get the error above is the reason I am posting here. (and several other spots)
    You said:
    "First off, FTP is disabled in Mavericks, which is why you likely cannot FTP into your local Mac--why are you ftp'ing to the Mac you are working on?"
    You said:
    "Your Sites folder is in your Home folder. However, if you created it somewhere else, you'll have to figure that out."
    When I say my Sites folder is not in my Home folder you can bank on it. No I never changed any folders in there.

  • Why did iTunes take out the category, "AIFF or mp3 encoder" on their latest version?

    I make CDs for use in my carr so it is valuable to me to know which version of a song is on iTunes:  either AIFF, or mp3.  The previous versions offered these specs for a category as a column listing in the library but the latest version doesn't;  if you don't remember where you last had it set you have to check in prefs., then hit "import settings" which is annoying when you're compiling for a CD.
    Why did they take that category out (under "view options") or am I wrong and you can tell me where I can find it?
    Thanks

    Dear loeezy,
    Sorry you felt offended by my post. That was not my intent and I never suggested you were stupid.
    Your post was a bit confusing because you were describing unrelated things.
    I was simply trying to explain a few things to help you out. Seems it did not work.
    My apologies.
    Please check out exactly the directions I wrote about "import settings".  I believe you will find the active button, "import settings" next to "ask to import CD" which is next to the words "when you import a CD:" under the heading, "General" in the pull-down menu, Preferences. 
    Yes, I understand what the Import Settings are and how to change them.
    However, Import Settings has nothing to do with burning a CD or selecting file types for adding to a playlist.
    Since it is not needed for making a playlist or burning a CD, I don't understand why it would "annoying".
    If you are burning a data or MP3 CD and only want specific file types, then you need to know what format of the files you add to a playlist are but that still has no relevance to what your current Import Settings are.
    And no, iTunes will NOT "convert the file as needed" if you want one song in both formats.
    If you are burning an audio CD, the result is one format. Audio CD.
    That is why I wrote, "If you are burning an audio CD the format is irrelevant", because iTunes will convert AIFF, WAV, MP3, AAC & Apple Lossless to audio CD format.
    Next time read the question thoroughly, make sure you do have the right version, and test what the the person is saying
    I did read thoroughly and understand exactly what you wrote.
    In the end, seems all you really needed was how to view the Kind column.
    Seems you have sorted out your issue so good luck.

  • Why did Apple omit the Panorama feature in Camera on the Ipad, when they did the IOS6 update?

    Why did Apple omit the Panorama feature in Camera on the Ipad, when they did the IOS 6 Update? They included this feature on the iPod touch (5th gen) so why not on the iPad?

    I was on vacation in a national park and saw people using their iPads as a video camera...one of them standing in the  middle of a 'river' (read really large stream) at the time.
    I'm going to also go with the supposition of it being a different camera and probably different video handling processor. The iPhone is quite far ahead of the iPad camera wise, so probably has better protocols in place to handle images, especially something as complex as the 'live photo stitch' of the panorama.
    many existing cameras take what the panorama was, a 'photo stitch' where mulitple side by side photos are stitched together into one large panorama. This just appears to do it 'live' instead of individual shots that need to be processed on a comptuer to make the panorama.

  • Why O Why did Apple removed the sidebar colors?

    Why O Why did Apple removed the sidebar colors in the new Aperture update? I used those colors to organize my workflow.
    Everything is Greyscale now. Isn't Photography all about colors? If I wanted a greyscale user interface I would have bought a PC ...

    It's the new design since Lion - Iphoto already has gone gray before Aperture See these links:
    Re: After updating to Aperture 3.3 all my icons appears in Black and white. This includes the inspect button, photo stream button, the Facebook / flicker share button. Could you please help here ?
    How to bring back the color: (for experienced users only)
    Re: Have today loaded the 3.3 up date on Aperture. After the up date the colour of the Menu Bar and all icons showing projects / albums etc are now grey. Any thoughts on how to reestablish the colours.

  • Why did apple stop supporting disc installed video games in their macs

    I was wondering why did apple support disc installed games like spore on older macs but they wont install on the newer macs. This is really bothering me because i like disc installed videos games they are safer and you have to purchase them in order to play them unless you have a crack. Now apple is saying that discs are obsolete when really they aren't.

    These are user-to-user forums where everyday folk (volunteers) post questions and offer answers (technical support) to each other.None of us users take part in any of Apple's decisions and/or why they do the things that do.  Your best bet would be to post your concerns over on the Product Feedback website.

  • Why did Apple raise its prices overnight by $200 on the iMac, including refurbished models.

    Other than greed and trying to narrow the spread between the price of the old iMacs and the just-announced new iMac, why did Apple raise its prices overnight by $200 on the iMac, including refurbished models? Their existing product component costs didn't increase overnight.
