How to Use iPhoto Instead of Mac Photos App in OS X - 0 views

  • Though it’s certainly possible to run both iPhoto and Photos app on the same Mac, it’s best to not try to juggle using both the apps so as to not confuse or mess up an image library, users should really stick to one app or the other.
  • f you really want to use both, be sure to create different photo libraries for both apps so they do not overlap while both in use.
  • Most commonly, Mac users will encounter the following error message when trying to launch iPhoto on a Mac with Photos app: “In order to open “iPhoto.app”, you must update to the latest version. The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite. Download the latest version for free from the Mac App Store.” but when you click on “Search App Store”, you’ll get an error saying “Item Not Available”.

    Some users who have updated to new versions of OS X with Photos app have discovered that Photos app does not meet their needs, and thus would like to continue using iPhoto on the Mac. This is possible, at least for the time being, but there can be some hiccups in getting iPhoto running again in OS X Yosemite with Photos app installed.

iPhoto - The Difference Between An Event And An Album | No Problem Mac | Call 310-621-5679 - 1 views

  • Events store your original images. If you delete a photo from an event… it’s gone. Albums are created from copies of images pulled from events. Photos can be added or deleted from an album with no impact on the original image.
  • Make a habit of cleaning up events each time you import new images from your camera or iPhone.
  • Albums are a simply another method of enjoying your images. They work exactly the same way as a playlist.
