    Can't delete old photos orginally from iPhoto

    This is a weird one. First off, running High Sierra 10.13.6. I couldn't just transition my old iPhotos to the new Photos, even with iPhoto upgrader. So, I had to manually drag all my photos from the iPhoto library (Package contents - originals) and also from my external drive where I had the...

    iPhoto broken by iTunes 12.8.1 on Yosemite

    I'm using a mid 2102 MBP with SSD running Yosemite. I learned yesterday that the latest iTunes update 12.8.1 breaks Safari when running Yosemite. This I fixed by removing a framework file as has been recommended on various forums but the same issue occurs with iPhoto. I know I should have...

    Stuck on 'Preparing to move...'

    I'm just trying to prep my old iMac ahead of migrating to a new iMac Pro & this problem is driving me nuts. I still use iPhoto and want to transfer that library to the new machine so that it can do a totally clean conversion to Photos. As much as I despise that app I will need to migrate so now...

    How to install iPhoto

    I'm trying to get my mom's computer to automatically back up photos to an external drive whenever there is an update. iCloud is full and she doesn't want to purchase more space, apparently. Problem is the computer was upgraded after a hard drive replacement a long time ago, and extra apps that...

    iPhoto Facebook Login Error

    I was previously logged into Facebook via iPhoto and happily sharing albums and pics. iPhoto was taking a long time to sync, so I logged out as a way to "force stop" it. Now I can't log back in. I hate "Photos" and much prefer iPhotos as a way to manage all of my digital pictures. I've tried...

    Photo chaos - ludicrous, exciting, unnerving!

    Could somebody please shed some light on these matters... About 3-4 years ago my photos went berzerk. I'm not exactly sure, when it happened, but in any case I didn't have any appropriate hard drive backup with which I could have fixed this problem. I mean I had some, but they didn't help in...

    What's my Photos library size and how do I get it into iCloud?

    How do I determine the actual size of my Photos library? I've got a 144GB iPhoto library and a 161GB Photos library on my hard drive, suggesting 300GB of Photos. But within the Photos app, Info says I have 113GB GB of photos. Photos uploaded 80GB of photos into my 200GB iCloud family account...

    iPhoto... supported but for how long?

    We use iPhoto to manage our 50k+ photo library for our small business. Putting aside all of the 'you need to face change...' arguments etc the simple fact is that Photos may be useful for people who's world revolves around the iOS & iCloud but there are people like us, who have been using...

    Migrating from iPhoto to... what?

    I have an iPhoto library that contains about 65,000 images. I rely heavily on iPhoto's proprietary features, and have been since I started using the first version of iPhoto when Apple released it well over a decade ago. Apple's concept of a well-designed "digital shoebox" has proven itself...
