Q: Is iPhoto deleted by the 10.10.3 update ?

Ok, we now have the Photo app, to replace iPhoto.

But does the update actually delete iPhoto from the Mac ?

 

I have used iPhoto Library Manager from Fact Cat Software to split my pics archives into several iPhoto Library ( one per year basically ).

I do not want to lose easy access to my old pics if iPhoto is removed. (or assume that iPLM will be updated )

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

    You may have missed this earlier post of mine:

     

    Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.

     

    When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there is a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.

     

    NOTE: It's been reported by several users that if the Event albums are moved out of the iPhoto Library folder in the sidebar they may disappear.  It's not widespread but several users have reported that issue.  Therefore, if you want to assure that you keep those Event albums don't move them outside the iPhoto Events folder.

     

    There's a way to simulate events in Photos.

    When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N.  Name it as desired.  It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder

     

    When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window

    .

    Albums and smart albums can be sorted by Title, by Date with oldest first and by Date with newest first.

     

    Tell Apple what missing features you'd like restored or new features added in Photos via Apple-Photos Feedback.

    Hello,

     

    I was having the same problem, if you go to your app store & click updates you can update iphoto to the compatible version. you cant do it from your dock on the iphoto app because itll tell you iphoto is not avail in the us. but do it through itunes updates & it should work. thats what I did.
