What OSX version did you install on the external drive?
iPhoto did not come with OSX that was a separate app and is not longer available from the Mac Apo Store. The Photos app was introduced in 10.10.3.
How did you migrate the other date?

Aug 23, 2015 9:08 AM in response to lllaassby Luisa Mosquera,I had and now have OSX 10.8.5
My friend says its' impossible to not have PhotoOSX because the installation would not have occurred, but I cannot find anything relating to photos other than Photo booth!
So I am guessing in response to your response since the operating system is 10.8.5 it is not on there.. but oddly enough neither is iPhoto.
Should I try to update operating system?
Please forgive my ignorance in these issues.. still learning so much for a senior citizen!
thank you!!!

Aug 23, 2015 9:23 AM in response to Luisa Mosqueraby lllaass,I do not understand this statement "So I am guessing in response to your response since the operating system is 10.8.5 it is not on there.. but oddly enough neither is iPhoto.".
I do not know what " PhotoOSX " is.
As I said, the iPhoto app is a purchased app, it does not come with OSX.
If you Google you may be able to find a genuine Apple DVD with iPhoto. However, it is not clear if you can update the DVD version.
Do y have the installatio disks that came with your Mac? Maybe it iLife DVD is there, iPhots is one component of iLife

Aug 23, 2015 9:43 AM in response to lllaassby Luisa Mosquera,I'm sorry I was not clear.. What I meant to say was that I did not know that iPhoto was a purchased app in the new system OSX, since mine originally came with iLife.
Photo OSX is what I believe the new iPhoto is called
I do not have the original install disks and I am not sure how I would install on to external drive which is what I am now using as I have not been able to purchase a new internal drive.
The operating system is on that external drive.
I do not live in a Mac friendly country which only adds insult to injury. I suppose I will have to wait until I go to the US to solve this.
. I will try to muddle my way through until I can purchase either a new laptop or a new drive.
Thank you so much or your assistance.
