Is iPhoto deleted by the 10.10.3 update ?

have updated to 10.10.3 two hours ago.

iPhoto is blanc and no option to open it (app is not available at the moment - please try it later again)

The good message from my side: all photos and videos from my iPhoto version are stored in the new Foto app as summery with original comments and dates

It did weeks ago. It's just no longer available, like all of iPhoto.

Not so. No flavour of 9.6 is available, quite right. But various versions from 6 up to 9.4 are available from Support Downloads.

C'MON APPLE!! As soon as you pull an app from the App Store, you should immediately place it in Support Downloads.

I just went through the situation of not finding iPhoto 9.6.1 in the App Store. Working with Applecare, the solution was to (a) delete the iPhoto app, (b) restart my iMac, (c) go to the App store and click on Purchases, and (d) reinstall iPhoto. In my case, for some reason, iPhoto was hidden from my purchases. Go to Store > View My Account, and go to Manage for Hidden Purchases, where you can unhide iPhoto. Once I did that, things seemed to work okay.

Unfortunately, though iPhoto wasn't hidden for me, on the App Store, its UPDATE button simply went grey and unresponsive on clicking it.

Don't tell us, tell Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Everyone... if moving your iPhoto to the trash (don't empty trash) and redownloading from your purchases or hidden purchases does not work then, as per my earlier post, simply remove it from the trash and right-click on iPhoto and click Show package contents, then go in to Contents, and in to the MacOS folder and double click the iPhoto app from there... it launches just fine! So make an alias for it or drag it in to your dock. A non-pretty but functional workaround.

I will try that one Todd - none of the other suggestions work.

Done.

Thanks Todd, that's a great tip - Did Apple leave that loophole there deliberately, I wonder.

And also a repeat of the plea to Apple - please re-instate iPhoto and even support it for longer, until the user community has decided which it likes best. And yes, I have left feedback to Apple as well.

Thank you -- Of all the solutions offered so far on several threads, this is the first solution that has allowed me to open iPhoto since updating to 10.10.3.

I've owned each major iteration of the iMac since 1999. I bought this iMac 5 days ago -- with iPhoto, only to find it gone after running a routine software upgrade. I'm disappointed with the hubris of Apple, thinking it's OK to sell me a computer equipped with something I want, and taking that feature away immediately after my computer is set up. (Like ordering your usual dinner, and before you take your first bite, a waiter comes over, grabs your plate, and replaces it with something they just dreamed up in the kitchen, saying, "get used to it, we decided it's what you will like.")

Time will tell if Apple does the right thing here -- not the right thing for their shareholders, the right thing for their customers. My reasons for liking iPhoto are that iPhoto allows archiving my collection by keywords, and by events illustrated by a representative photo of that day's photos. I know that most professional photographers prefer Adobe Lightroom to any Apple products, but I always liked iPhoto for organizing photos from my camera, and then processing in Photoshop.

The idea of Photos saving just a cheesy small file on my computer and keeping the original on the cloud with a 5GB limit before fees kick in, can only appeal to Facebook denizens and Apple apologists (and of course, shareholders.)

Todd, thanks again for the workaround. I hope you will post this to the other threads dealing with this issue.

You seem confused. Installing 10.3.3 does not remove iPhoto. If it was not up-to-date then it needs to be reinstalled, but it runs just fine in 10.3.3.

You know the most popular camera in the world right now? The iPhone. Photos is aimed squarely at the majority of Apple's customers, folks shooting with an iPhone. It does more, but that's who the customers are. You can use Photos to archive your collection by keyword, instead of Events you have Albums and these can have a representative photo too.

Apart from the obvious sneer at millions of people who are perfectly entitled to want this, you do not have to run Photos in the mode at all. You can run it just like iPhoto. All your photos on your Mac, full size originals and versions as you prefer.

I totally agree. I used key words and albums to organise my photos. I had lots of slide shows. Now I have a totally inaccessible 42G of photos. I have no hope of finding anything. I hate Yosemite. If I could take my old mac back to Mavericks I would but I am told you can't just restore from Time machine. Great!

Who tells you these things?
