You do have iPhoto still - it is in your applications folder


Is this the exact and complete error message?


"Database Error: failured to persist version"

will any photos import? How are you importing from the iPad and he iPhone?


As to what's the difference? In What? If it is re the error message it is critical to have the exact error message - often the messages reported are done by memory or interrupted and without the exact error message it is not possible to help

Sorry,


Yes, the error message is exactly like that ("Database error: failured to persist version")

No photos will import at all. I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2.


About the difference? iPhoto and Photos . Are there two softwares?


I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto. It's call iPhoto library. At one point I turned off streaming.


Thanks again Larry HN.
