iPhoto does not work on any of the 64 bit only operating systems. Photos replaced it many years ago.


Photos can convert an iPhoto library into a Photos one. Launch Photos with the option key held down. From the dialog, choose your iPhoto Library. Photos will create a new library with your iPhoto media. Your iPhoto library will not be changed, though it will be renamed.

Thank you,


the albums have been transferred but not the events. Not all my photos in events have been placed in an album. A picture I added to iPhoto just prior to upgrading I can see in recent but what happened to other photos I did not place in an album

I'm trying to convert an iPhoto folder on an external storage device. When I open Photos and try to select from "Other Library", I can't select the iPhoto file--it is grayed out and can't be clicked on or opened. This happened when I moved the file to my Pictures app, too. What am I doing wrong?
