Q: iPhoto features missing in iOS8

iPhoto is no longer supported on iOS 8, and the the success - Photos.app does not (yet?) have these advanced editing tools. Tags and captions are also missing, photo books and journals no longer supported.

To get you started with Photos:

Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8

Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8

I talked to the customer support and they only refereed to the terms of use.

http://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/at/terms.html

They have the right to limit features. But they have no solution for the problem.

There is no solution to the problem.  Migrate your photos to Photos via the instructions that léonie posted.  Then tell Apple which iPhoto features you'd like to see incorporated into the Photos apps via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html.

I don´t think it would be clever to migrate before there IS a solution.

(In particular, while "Yosemite" is not yet available and there is no single cloud solution which causes problems with the iOS 8 versions of Pages, etc.)

I don´t think it would be clever to migrate before there IS a solution.

It is not clever to upgrade to iOS 8, if you want to use your mobile devices for your photos and need iPhoto's advanced features. There is no way back, because Apple does not support downgrading to earlier iOS versions, and the time window, when downgrading is possible, is small.

Once you have upgraded to iOS 8, your photos are locked in iPhoto, unless you migrate, and cannot be accessed.  Migrating will allow you to use them at least with Photos. You could make a backup of your device to iTunes, before you migrate. If iPhoto should ever be updated, you can restore the iPhoto Library from this iTunes backup.

That's exactly what I meant.

I didn't know that I was necessary to explain it in detail

Sorry, then I misunderstood your post. Your post was a bit ambiguous in the context of the previous posts. I read it as "I don´t think it would be clever to migrate from iPhoto to Photos before there IS a solution.", since we were discussing the migration to Photos.

Once someone has upgraded to iOS 8 there is not help but to migrate from iPhoto to Photos. We need to avoid the upgrade to iOS8 in the first place.

Yes, I agree with you.

The Problem is, that the iPhoto program was terminated for iOS 8 before Apple offered a solution for the missing features of iPhoto.

As I wrote at 9:53 AM there is a similar migration (cloud-) problem with Pages, Keynote and Numbers.

Does anyone have a solution in the meantime (assuming that the missing features will be brought back)?  I used the web journals a lot - is there an app that anyone can recommend that will do the same or similar?

I'm really upset about this. I had no idea iphoto had got the axe. Not sure I would have done iOS 8 had I known. the brushes were great and I used them regularly. Any other apps anyone knows of with brushes?  Apple could at least freeze iphoto but not develop it further. Apperature still works in Yosemite!

I spoke with an Apple rep through chat and they told me they can't even give a refund for the $4.99 iPhoto purchase either. I don't understand that at all. They are the ones who pulled the app and haven't given us an alternative that is acceptable as far as features go. There was no warnings or communication from Apple about this either. This is pretty bad customer service for a company like Apple.

I think this is really naughty of Apple. i have enjoyed producing web journals on my iPad and now I can't access them to update or edit them.

All removed without any warning from Apple.

Has any clever person found a way around this yet please?

I have not yet found a single app that has brushes like iPhoto iOS had.

There are no changes in iOS 8.1!
