Q: I only have one iPhoto Library but Photos app didn't auto import it
Just upgraded to Yosemite (yes I'm behind the times). iPhoto is grayed out as incompatible with Yosemite, which is fine, I'll just use Photos. Opened Photos and it didn't import my iPhoto photos, but rather synced with my phone's photos. The only way I could get my iPhoto photos in was to hold down option while opening Photos and choose my iPhoto library (the other choice was "System") However, Photos should have automatically imported my iPhoto photos on first opening it, because I only have one library for iPhoto (see Get started with Photos for OS X - Apple Support) I dont have Apeture either. Is Photos counting my icloud photos as another library and therfore making me keep them separate? I want to have all my photos in one place and have them all synced to iCloud - the photos from my iPhoto and the photos from my phone. How do I do this?
MacBook Air (11-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
