I have down loaded El Capitan and the iPhoto icon has a big warning sigh. I tired to update in the App store but it says my version is not available in the UK store .What do I do now please
Put the existing copy of iPhoto in the trash, don't empty the trash. Go back to the App Store, you should find the current version ON YOUR PURCHASES page.
Greetings, sorry to ask but how do i get all my photos back out of trash? I opened it but if I select all all I am not sure what to do then. I onlys eem to to things one at a time
Why did you trash the photos as well as the app?
Ok . cos I am not at all tech savy. So to review. I have ticked Photo in iCloud and I guess all the photos will be sitting in there. Also I have a Time Capsule might they be sitting in there. I think I was in a hurry this mornig and when Photo came up for the fist time I did not import all the Library. I am panicing now worried about my photos and paying the price for being so dumb.
Did you place the iPhoto library in the trash?
I placed the Iphoto icon (the one that sat at the bottom of the screen with all the other icons) in the trash . Is that the same thing. I thought , by mistake that is what you said to do
That is only a shortcut to the Application, which lives in the Applications folder, so you have not deleted it. The pictures are in the iPhoto library, which can be found in the Pictures folder .
Delete iPhoto from the Applications older but do not empty the trash, leave the library alone. Then download the new version as explained earlier.
Can I not retrieve all this from the Time capsule or iCloud ?
Can you answer a question without asking one?
I think so, what is the question ?
Is the library in the trash
There is a row of icons at the bottom of the sceen like the Finder , App Store, Film etc The one that was Iphoto was the one I put in the Trash . Not a folder
No, you trashed a shortcut.
Go to an Apple Store, ask them to show you how.
This would be a good time to start using the new Photos app and leave iPhoto behind. Why? Developement of iPhoto was stopped over a year ago and is no longer supported by the Apple Print Product Stores. It's only a matter of time (not too far away) that iPhoto will not longer be compatible with the latest offered system.
