The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it. Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS. If you not yet have 9.6.1, update as described here: You will see a prompt, that the iPhoto Library has been migrated, but just click the "Open iPhoto" button and iPhoto will open the old library. If your iPhoto version is iPhoto 9.6.1, just drag iPhoto from the Applications folder back to the Dock, then click it to launch it.
iPhoto should still be in your Applications folder, if you did not uninstall it intentionally. The update just removed the iPhoto icon from the Dock. Upgrading to Photos or using a virtual machine preserves both.How can I get iPhoto back? It says it is no longer available in the UK and all the updates online have been discontinued. And you might not be able to import modified versions of photos you edited within iPhoto-only the originals. With Google Photos and either Lightroom choice, you won’t be able to preserve metadata added in iPhoto, however. (You could also revert to Mojave, but that’s a time-limited choice, too, and Mac models released after this point won’t run macOS before Catalina.) At the bottom of the list, click Update next to iPhoto 9.6.1 4. You can postpone making a change for a little or long while. Here is the best way to install iPhoto on 10.10.3: Go to System Preferences (Black Apple Symbol TLHC): 1. While it’s not a solution forever, you can use Parallels or VMWare Fusion within Catalina. Install a virtual machine to keep macOS Mojave or an earlier macOS running for iPhoto and other apps. The cloud-oriented version is just $10 a month, which includes 1TB of storage and the use of all the apps across your devices. Adobe offers two different versions: one is oriented towards images stored on a computer ( Lightroom Classic), while the other leans heavily on cloud-based sharing and access for mobile, desktop, and Web (the weirdly named Adobe Photoshop Lightroom). Switch to Adobe Lightroom for photo library managing and maybe for cloud-based sync.
You can have the desktop software read an iPhoto library to upload your images. Google offers desktop and mobile apps for importing images and syncs via its cloud service. Photos doesn’t copy the iPhoto images, but it uses a special kind of link that lets the same file exist in two places, avoiding increasing your storage requirements.
Photos can still read and upgrade an iPhoto library, as it doesn’t require launching iPhoto. If you upgraded to Catalina without first launching Photos or finding another solution, what options do you have? Plenty. The outdated software won’t launch in macOS Catalina, because its core functions rely on a software framework Apple has also sent riding into the sunset. Now, iPhoto’s number is finally truly up. Photos has improved substantially, though it’s still not everyone’s cup of tea. Many people preferred iPhoto’s controls and the new Photos app was initially missing features and buggy, crashy, and slow at times. If you’ve continued to use iPhoto after Apple discontinued it in 2015, you had to know its days were numbered.
