Catalina disappearing iPhoto

I had all my photos stored in a certain way in Iphoto and now cannot access them in IPhoto. How can I recapture them? They do show up in photos, but my labeling and organization was much better in original iphoto. ???

iPhoto was discontinued more than 4 years ago. It is no longer developed or sold. It was replaced by the more powerful (and free) Photos.app that comes with the OS. You can migrate to that app very simply:



Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch Photos. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and point at your iPhoto Library. It will do the rest.



If you prefer not to use Photos there are several 3rd party apps that you can use. Which to choose depends on the kind of photographer you are and your budget.
