iPhoto does not work on sierra

what would be your purpose of responding

I would have thought that was quite clear: I wrote telling you what was required for us to help you.

Apparently you are not one of the people who has solved this problem. Therefore you are void of information needed to solve the original intent of this discussion, getting iPhoto to work on Sierra as some have reported is possible.

Well there's faulty logic. It is not at all necessary for me to have solved this issue in order for me to assist troubleshooting it. Believe it or not, I've assisted several thousand people when they've had iPhoto issues over the years and with some considerable success. And I was willing to help you too.

That inclination has now passed however.

Take a minute to read this user tip and the ask again: Writing an effective Apple Support Communities question

iPhoto 961 seems to work fine w/ macOS Sierra here. Any evidence to the contrary?

A very good thing, as Photos.app 2.0 is an inadequate, feature-poor replacement.

(e.g. missing manual control of Collections/Events; missing 5 point rating data)

missing 5 point rating data

The ratings in iPhoto were converted to keywords during the migration to Photos. Keywords are nearly universally supported by DAM (digital asset management) applications whereas ratings are not. Thus more compatible with other apps.

missing manual control of Collections/Events;

That's what albums are for. During the migration from iPhoto to Photos the Events were converted to albums in the folder titled "iPhoto Events". In them you can control any way you want.

Photos has far greater editing capability that iPhoto, particularly with the 3rd party External Editors For Photos from the App Store.

They should have warned users before the upgrade. My Aperture and iPhoto program have become useless, but it installed Photo program and automatically transferred my pics from iPhoto into it.

One thing though, upon activation Photo program, the screen will ask you to upgrade storage to min. 12Gb (not free) for Photo to work. I just clicked canceled and it worked just fine and I use photo as normal. I don't need more than the free 5BG.

Just checked it again, I could't enable Photo in iCloud if I don't pay for storage upgrade. But I can still see my photos in Photo on my desktop but not in iCloud. So other option, I use google photo that gives unlimited storage for high quality upload.

My Aperture and iPhoto program have become useless,

Aperture and iPhoto will work on Sierra, if your version of iPhoto or Aperture can be updated. You need iPhoto 9.6.1 or Aperture 3.6. You can update, if the version you own is in your Purchases history at the App Store. In that case you can update by reinstalling. See: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-8431

In the long run some system update will break Aperture and iPhoto completely and only Photos will work, but I like to be able to open my old libraries in Aperture, to see the metadata I assigned or to be able to use the Aperture editing tools.

How much storage you will need to upgrade is entirely dependent on the size of your library, and whether you elect to use the iCloud Photo Library, if you have 200G of photos, you will need 200G of storage. Simple really. And you were warned when it happened, which was not with Sierra.

My biggest issue with Photo is that when I transferred everything over it didn't keep them organized by Events, which *****. I cannot seem to fix red-eye anymore either? Lastly, I HATE the fact that you cannot delete photos anymore? Why is Photos getting such praise?

All the old events should appear in the Albums section, in a folder "iPhoto Events". is this folder missing?

I cannot seem to fix red-eye anymore either?

Is the Red Eye tool missing, or does it not work for you? You should be seeing the tool in the Edit panel:

Lastly, I HATE the fact that you cannot delete photos anymore?

You can delete photos - select the the photos to be deleted and enter the key combination command-delete ⌘⌫

What is happening, when you try this?

The red eye CHOICE is there, but when I try to click and drag over the eye, like I used to, it stays as an arrow and doesn't do anything?

I do NOT have an old events section? Only something that says Memories and it's not the same at all.

Okay thanks for the delete command, what a pain that you have to search and ask to find out how to do that in the first place.

Try it this way:

• First adjust the size slider. This will create a circle. Drag the slider, until the circle has the size of the eye.
• Then click the eye you want to correct.

If Photos created event albums, the will be in a separate folder among your other albums.

Reveal the sidebar with the key combination option-command-S ⌥⌘S, then scroll down to "Albums". Is there a a folder called "iPhoto Events"?

Have you seen this support document? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204478

I do NOT have an old events section?

Open the sidebar and look for the folder named iPhoto Events. In it will be all of your Events as albums.

This user tip will help explain the new organization: Moments in Photos are the New Events

Imagine or not, that's what they did more than two years ago, so, frankly, I wouldn't hold my breath. Your options are: 1. Get with Photos and its way of working or 2: Find another app.
