Will iPhoto still be available after installing the 10.10.3 upgrade ?

Having read much of this thread, I'm very reluctant to use Photos as I have a couple of libraries (one of 11,000 + images) which are iPhoto 9.6.1 based.
Is iPhoto overwritten by Photos when the upgrade is installed - or does iPhoto remain on the machine ?
It would be great if I can '...just say NO...' to using Photos and continue using iPhoto !!
Thanks
John F.

iPhoto will remain installed, after you update to Yosemite 10.10.3. When you launch Photos and let it upgrade the iPhoto Library to the new format, it will create a copy to be used with Photos, and you will find the original with a filename extension "Migrated". You can use the library still with iPhoto. The additional Photos library is sharing the photos with your original library via links, so it does not need much additional space. (see this link: Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support)
Just be sure to make a current backup of your Mac before you upgrade to the new version. Updating to newer systems is never without a risk, i.e., just one day after the fresh release.

  • My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything!

    My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything! It used to crash when importing but now I'm at the point where I open the software and after 2 seconds it crashes (nothing connected either). What to do? Can't access any photos

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create a new library and import some test photos then the problem lies with your original library. 
    If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    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.
    If iPhoto crashes while trying to create a new library then try this:
    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    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.
    If that fails to help a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all relavant updaters.
    P.S.  If you're still running Tiger, 10.4.6, then the above may not apply.  If you're running a newer system you should update your profile so we have a better idea of where you're at.

  • After installing the latest version of iTunes , I can no longer export files from EZ Vinyl Converter to iTunes. I tried restoring an older version which accepted these files, but that version no longer will open my library. I have been archiving my albums

    After installing the latest version of iTunes, I can no longer export music files converted by EZ Vinyl Conversion software to iTunes, which is the only export option available in the software. I have been converting my vinyl records, tapes and cd's to MP3 files in iTunes for about a year now, and have well over 1000 man-hours invested in this effort. I tried restoring the last version of iTunes, but it will no longer read my library, as, apparently, the new version modified the library file(s) in some way. I want to reenable this export-import function to finish my archival. What is necessary ???

    Apparently, security programs like Macafee and Norton view Itunes updates as new programs and block then from access. If you add Itunes to the list of exemptions, it solves the problem.

  • After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times).  Any help?

    After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times).  Any help?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

  • HT5037 iphoto will not open although i have installed the library upgrade

    iphoto will not open even after installing the library upgrade ....

    Ok - but since we do not read minds we need to you tell us what you are talking about
    If you are upgrading from a pre iPhoto 6 version of iPhoto to a newer version (one possible guess) then you download the upgrader, run it and then launch iPhoto so it can upgrade to the correct version.
    If that is not it then what exactly are you trying to do? if upgrading, what is the old version adn the new version and what OS? And what does happen?

    Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

  • After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC.  I receive a window with the Microsoft error code R6034

    After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC (Windows 7).  I receive multiple error windows with the Microsoft error code R6034.  Microsoft's Help site states that this error occurs when a driver attempts to access the C++ library without a "Manifest".  I do not know what a manifest is, but apparently any attempt to directly access the C++ library is not permitted.  The site instructs the viewer to contact the application developer.

  • I have all my music in iTunes and have "Music Match" turned on.  Apparently, I also have music on my iPhone 5.  I need to free up space on my iPhone.  If I delete the music on my phone, will it still be available to me on my phone via the cloud?

    The same is true for photo's.  I have too many photo's on my phone taking up space.  Now I realize I can remove a lot of the photo's via sync options, but ...

    This can happen if iTunes gets confused about what is and isn't on the device. These steps should resolve.
    Backup the device.
    Restore as a new device.
    Restore the backup made earlier.
