    Updated just now without any issues. Fonts and screen seems sharper somehow on cMBP...

    I like to list my photos by event and in iPhoto you could view them 'new to old' so your most recent photos are at the top. In Photos though I can;t find a way to do this and they are listed old to new so I have to scroll down through a couple of hundred of events and thousands of photos to get to the latest photos. Fine if you only had to do it once but overtime it's a bit of a pain.

    Am I missing something obvious to fix this?

    Update did not work for me.
    I am unable to restart my Mac :eek:

    The black line during restart only goes ⅓ of the way across the screen & then it freezes.

    Any advice appreciated.

    Any time machine backups? If so, CMD + R after the startup tone will get you into the recovery menu. If you've no backups then try the steps from Apple's support page here

    Thanks for the reply.

    As it happened it just found itself after an hour or so.

    This update is taking me hours and hours to download. Never experience such slow speeds from the App store before.

    Photos is terrible! what are they thinking??

    I’m not happy about the demise of Aperture, but a cloud-based photos app for the Mac was long overdue. iPhoto should have been canned ages ago. Photos is fine and will grow in functionality alongside its iOS counterpart. I suspect a third party app along the lines of Pixelmator will soon fill the gap left by Aperture.

    I managed to change this manually. Took me ages to go through a couple hundred events but have them in the order I want now. Surely there should be an easy way of doing this, maybe we'll get it in an update.

    Jesus. Didn't realise Photos replaced iPhoto. It's awful, clunky and requires more work to do simple things.

    Can anyone recommend a suitable alternate photo management app?

    I've been stung by iPhoto before corrupting data so I really need a reliable photo management tool.

    Is that correct that 10.10.3 automatically replaces iPhoto with Photos?
    My 79 year old brother has spent dozens of hours getting iPhoto to work his way after taking my advice to switch to a Mac.
    There would be hell to pay if he had to try to get Photos working to his satisfaction [and I'd be roped in].
    That would mean he'll have to stay at his current version.

    It'll still be there, but you have to have version 9.6.1 for it to open. If you update without it, you won't be able to open iPhoto.

    If he's happy with the current setup, then why upgrade?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 469 ✭✭JonMac


    Well, I found this quote: At some point you will want to fully migrate all your photos to one or more Photos libraries, because while you can still use iPhoto and Aperture, Apple is no longer providing support and at some point they will cease to work effectively with future OS updates.
    He is only 79 so hopefully a lot of years left in him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,981 ✭✭✭Diarmuid


    I understand that. However maybe it's not worth upgrading to future OSX versions? If the computer and OS he currently has meets his requirements, then there's a lot to be said for sticking with it. It will still work just as well in 5/10 years time

    Location of photos can't be changed either on Photos I don't think. The GPS on my IPhone is obviously a bit wonky and was way off on some shots I took at the weekend but I couldn't find a way to fix them.

    I notice when using an app like Disk Inventory X to see where HDD space is used on my Mac that my photographs show up in two different libraries; iPhoto and Photos.

    I realise that there is really only one because my HDD isn't actually big enough to store two copies. However, the Photos library is 7GB bigger. Do other people notice this? I'm running low on HDD space which is why it is annoying me.

    EDIT

    Actually I think it is happening because when you make changes in Photos or add new photos it is not reflected in iPhoto.
