Q: IOS8 erased all my diaries/projects from IPhoto!

Why in heavens name has Apple erased IPhoto in IOS8?! I have many diaries and projects I have developed over the years, and then all of a sudden I can't access IPhoto. Try again apple! If I can't access my work, travel diaries and projects from my wedding and the likes, I have purchased my very last Apple product. Please tell me it was a mistake and it will be corrected and not an inconsiderate choice from Apple, that leaves us with no possibility of going back to IOS7 to restore our memories, photo albums and projects.


Sorry for being so tempered, but have just been on the phone with Apple support, and all they said was "sorry, there is nothing to do."

Someone please tell me they were wrong?!


iPad 2, iOS 8

    It was inconsiderate by Apple, but I see no silver lining of hope, that they will correct this in he her future.

    Have a look at Apple's documentation at this link:        Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8

     

    "iPhoto for iOS is not supported on devices with iOS 8 or later. This article will explain how to migrate your iPhoto data to Photos.

    ...

    Photo Books, Web Journals, and Slideshows are converted into regular albums in Photos. Text and layouts are not preserved.

    "

     

    You would have to downgrade your device to iOS 7 again, to be able to run if again. But Apple made it impossible to downgrade by no longer signing the firmware installers. So you would have to setup a different device that not yet has been upgraded to iOS 8 and install iPhoto there.
