Drag (to move) or Option-drag (to copy) the Masters folder to the Desktop or to another drive. Choose Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Photos uses the same master file as iPhoto, so you do not need the double space to run the apps Nothing will change in terms of location. When you upgrade an iPhoto library, your Photos library will be stored in the same location as the original library. Photos store your library in the Pictures folder on your Mac.I know I could copy the app, but what support files also need to be copied.Home How to upgrade iPhoto to Photos How to upgrade iPhoto library to Photos for Mac I do have Mavericks installed on a bootable external with an iPhoto that works (not exactly sure which version, but probably either 9.4.3 or 9.6.1). When I run any of the updaters (9.2.3, 9.3, etc), it gives me the error message “iPhoto 9.1 or later is required to install this update.” which is a bogus message, but probably something that Apple has ceased to care about.Īs far as I know, there was never an iPhoto 9.6.1 updater put out by Apple - by that time it was updated via the App Store.Īny ideas on how I an get a runable version of iPhoto on this Mavericks Mac? (Yosemite is not the answer for other reasons I won’t go into). However, I’m left with a non-launchable iPhoto, although it’s a slightly newer version 9.2.1. I also have the iLife ’11 DVD, so I uninstalled her copy of iPhoto (the app and the receipt files located both in /Library/Receipts and in /var/db/receipts) and installed from iLife ’11. However, when I run the 9.2.1, 9.3.1 or 9.4 or 9.4.3 updater, they all report that “the version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the App Store” - which now is not possible.
So, I figured no problem, I kept all the iPhoto updaters from that era. When I look at her App Store > Purchases, it shows iPhoto as “installed” and button is greyed out. The combination of OS 10.9.5 and iPhoto 9.1.5 shows iPhoto as a non-launchable program. (In hindsight, I should have updated iPhoto when she was still on 10.7.5, but here we are.) So, we updated to Mavericks before realizing that she had an “old” version of iPhoto, version 9.1.5, which I figured we could update later. Friend running MacOS 10.7.5 wanted to update the OS but stick with iPhoto.
