Regardless – here are the steps to turn iPhoto back into a functional App. Once you have iPhoto working again, maybe you’ll want to take a closer to look at Photos.
It’s unlikely that it’ll receive another update (perhaps bugfixes, feature updates far less likely) and it would seem the future is “Photos”. NOTE: Apple is sending a clear message – iPhoto is gone. Following these instructions, you’ll have iPhoto working in Yosemite in no time.
Update: this guide/method also works for OS X “El Capitan” (10.11)Īfter Photos came out, you might have noticed that iPhoto no longer wanted to run.įear not. For whatever reason you’ve wound up here (probably not a fan of Photos) – this step-by-step guide will show you how to install/re-install iPhoto on your Mac running Yosemite (OS X 10.10.x).
