I bought a new iMac and now my iPhoto app is not supported. When the info was migrated over, my videos on the app were not installed. How do I get this app to work? It says to contact the developer, but this was an app through Apple itself

iPhoto was discontinued more than 5 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.
