How do I revert back to Aperture from Photos?

Your Aperture library is where it always has been in the past - where you put it. Aperture is still in your Applications folder.

I had the same thing happen to me. Photos migration did something to the library and it now says migratedphotolibrary.

Find your old aperture library right click it and select open with... Aperture.

I got my library back. I'm just having the problem that my iPhone no longer shows up to import into aperture.

I upgraded to Yosemite and I was shocked that the OS don't let me use Aperture anymore. The app is still installed on my computer but the OS refuses to start it. Now I have to use the useless Photos app. This is not an upgrade but a downgrade, because Photos misses essential features, for instance comparing two pictures next to each other, good advanced searching by keywords (i.e. with more than one search field), easy editing of keywords, applying keywords to a collection of pictures instead of one, like Aperture does, etc etc. Apple forces users to downgrade to Mavericks or to buy Adobe Lightroom. It is a SHAME.

I want one of these things:

- A better Photos with (at least) the functionality of Aperture. Otherwise it is not an upgrade!

- Use Aperture again under Yosemite. Does anyone know a trick to do this?

Apple PLEASE!

You need Aperture 3.6, which is available in the App Store on your "purchased" tab.

I'm having the same issue with aperture not recognizing my iphone or my SD card out of my nikon. i gave photos a try and it

was very slow and hard to manage my libraries. so i re-opened aperture and chose the old aperture library and it isfunctioning

normally, but whenever i attach an SD card or my iphone, aperture doesn't want to recognize it like it used to...makes it

painful for importing photos off of my devices. (after i went back to aperture, i deleted the photos library hoping that would

make a different, but it did not.)

any thoughts?

Yes, I see that I have to upgrade. There is a version 3.6 in the App Store on my purchases tab. Are you sure this version will work under Yosemite? I have downgraded to Mavericks and I will only install Yosemite when Aperture 3.6 works under Yosemite.

Aperture will not be upgraded anymore, the same with iPhoto.

Pete

Yes I know. But will Aperture 3.6 WORK under Yosemite? The older version 3.5.1 was blocked by the OS.

I'm using it right at the moment in Yosemite.

Pete

Thanks. And, does it work faster under Yosemite?

I hate, I mean I HATE the new Photos app. Same problem here. I WANT TO KEEP USING APERATURE TO IMPORT MY PHOTOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Photos is really lame. Very frustrated. Time to reorganize my raw photos on my external hard drive and buy another product. This stinks, I just bought Aperture a year ago.

You CAN use Aperture if you want. Learn to use the product. This is user error, and your rant isn't helping anything.

I Believe you moderators removed the wrong post. You left my rant and deleted my response with details. Here it is again with the hope some one will have an answer instead of tellin me it is user error:

I know how to use Aperture. When Photos imported my Aperture library into the Photos library, my Aperture library contents were deleted by the the photos import and the library is now empty and void of my raw photos. There was nothing in it. Empty, GONE! So I had to open the newly created photos library with Aperture, and it was all there, but when I connect a camera device Aperture will no longer recognize my devices (Nikon SLR, iPhone, SD CARDS) for importing; even if I select for Aperture to open automatically when a camera device is connected in the preferences pane. Photos opens up and there doesn't seem to be a way to correct it. I even unchecked the Phitis preference pane for Photos NOT to automatically open! I appear to be FAR FROM THEONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM! My rant may not help, but it sure makes me feel better. User error? Not. Any suggestions??

I upgraded from Aperture to Adobe Lightroom and I'm not regretting that. In fact, I'm glad Apple stopped the further development of Aperture. That was a good decision. Although I loved Aperture, now I'm using Lightroom I understand. It forced me to upgrade and although I complained, now I am happy they did. Aperture was too good for the amateur, not good enough for the professional. For the average user Photos is good enough, the professional photographer should us Lightroom. There is no alternative for Adobe, in this respect, now Aperture is gone. So If you think Photos is not good enough and are frustrated about Aperture not working anymore under Yosemite or whatever, upgrade to Adobe Lightroom.
