Q: How do I transfer from PHOTO back to iphoto ?

Do you have your iPhoto Library file in the /Home/Pictures/ folder? Did you have a previous version of iPhoto that you purchased from the App Store. If so then:

Re: Is Iphoto gone ? i want it back!

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1

If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash

Install the App from the App Store.

Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?

iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

I recently purchased a 2015 MacBook Pro. I don't like PHOTO at all .

So, I'd like to transfer my 5000 photo's back to iphoto .

So far the only method that works is dragging each photo to the desktop .

Then place in iphoto . Needless to say it is time comsuming .

 

HELP

Here is a list of support sites to help you get started with Photos along with apple feedback site.

Unfortunately the change to PHOTOS will be the way to go and PHOTOS is designed to run on tablet/phone/touch screen -- so many of the options appear to be hidden.
