Q: I hate this new Photos!

I had already spent hours multiple times to get all my photos sorted. I have traveled all over the world and have thousands of pics, also have Faces set up with those locations. Now, after this latest update, everything has totally changed and I am so angry I could scream or choke someone! What can I do to get the iPhoto back and get rid of this update?

 

Thanks for the help if there is any hope left.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

    Nothing to "get back" - iPhoto is in your applications folder - launch and use it - no reason in the world to use a program you hate

    There has to be some way to revert back to the iPhoto and get rid of the "Photo" update. It updated just today and your reply was ridiculous. I need a good answer from someone who knows what I'm talking about.

    iPhoto and Aperture are no longer available for Yosemite users. They have also been pulled from the App Store. Instead of these two apps, Apple has released new Photos for OS X app, which is a replacement. One possible way to use iPhoto is to downgrade your operating system.

     

    If you previously purchased iPhoto, it should be in your App Store Purchases list. If you don’t see it. it may be under Hidden Purchases. You can try downloading it from there. That's another way out.

    If you haven't erased your hard drive before installing Yosemite, you may also try to locate it on your Mac.

    Sorry but you are too arrogant to help

     

    you have the exact and correct answer - you choose to refuse to use it but to post troll crap instead

     

    Have a nice day - and good luck with your Photos and you life  - with your attitude you are  in for a very trying time with both

    Incorrect - no need to downgrade anything - just use iPhoto (or Aperture if that is your previous program) They are not removed but are still in the applications folder - just use them and move forward until an OS upgrade breaks them which will happen someday

    What can I do to get the iPhoto back and get rid of this update?

    Which iPhoto version do you have installed?  If it is iPhoto 9.6.1, simply launch it.

     

    If it is an earlier version, you need to update to version 9.6.1.  Only, the updates page of the AppStore will no longer show the update. The only way to install the update is to reinstall iPhoto. 

    Make sure, iPhoto is showing on the Purchases tab of the App Store. You may need to unhide it, as D.Cohen mentioned.

    See:  Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases

     

    • If you are seeing iPhoto on the Purchases page, move the currently installed version from the Applications folder to the Trash.  Don't empty the Trash yet.
    • Reload the Purchases page of the AppStore by pressing ⌘R .
    • Then try to reinstall from that page.

    You are not addressing Apple here.  We are just other customers like you.   See the link below and you can communicate to Apple and let your voice be heard.

     

    As mentioned by others above you can continue using iPhoto or Aperture.   Moreover, you can try third-party photo editing/organizing programs.  Some consider "Lyn" a good replacement for iPhoto.  Some consider "Capture One" as a replacement for Aperture, both can be tried free for 30 days.

    Well I tried going to applications and it's sitting there but it has like a no smoking sign over it and can't be opened. It says to go to the app store but then it tells you it's not available. So not quite so simple as just finding it and using it. Not happy, this is my work computer and I use it to record all my students artwork, this new photos has just increased my work load. Not a happy camper!
