Re: A few problems after upgrade 10.8.5 to 10.10 Yosemite

[Matt Falvey]

Hi Ronni, I am sorry I thought that we had sorted it and that you just wanted 
me to post the outcome and a request for information on how to upgrade to 10.5 
on the WAMUG list to others could see what had been discussed. When I did I saw 
you had already posted the answer before I had had time to post the question.

So I thought we had just go the timing wrong and left it at that as you had 
already told me what I needed to know.

I am sorry for the confusion, as I have been sitting back having a rest from 
the Mac now the iPhoto mess has been finished and I was able to get the photos 
over to England for the funeral which was yesterday. 

I hope this post does get posted as I haven’t had time to renew my subs yet for 
the new year.

Thanks again.

Matt.

Hello Matt Falvey,

Please respond and let us know if this is all completed, so I can clear my 
desktop and file all documentation & emails relating to your issues.

NOTE: Saturday 8 Jan. 2016 - Matt has not responded to my post to WAMUG 30

Subject: Re: A few problems after upgrade 10.8.5 to 10.10 Yosemite

Hi Matt,

Good to hear iPhoto 9.6.1 is sorted. And thanks for sending my Thumb Drive back 
I received it today.
I have put this subject back on to WAMUG & I'll reply to your post with further 
details  - installing the Yosemite 10.10.5 combo update and the transition to 
Photos - how to migrate/import to Photos from iPhoto.

As I mentioned in a previous reply you can still use iPhoto.app in Yosemite & 
El Capitan, I use iPhoto as well as Photos in El Capitan and did in Yosemite 
when Photos was released in the 10.10.3 update.
You can still use your original iPhoto library with iPhoto 9.6.1 and Aperture 
3.6 after you've migrated it to Photos.
Your old library won't be converted, just imported, so you can still open it in 
iPhoto or Aperture if you like.
NOTE:  Any changes you make in iPhoto or Aperture after you migrate to Photos, 
like image edits or album changes, will be visible only in iPhoto or Aperture.

Matt -As you realise, if you are unable to upgrade your Aperture v3.4.5 to 
Aperture v3.6 - Aperture will not work in Yosemite or El Capitan.

I also recommend repairing/rebuilding your iPhoto library with iPhoto before 
converting it to Photos.  
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and run the following 
options in the First Aid window:
 
1 - Option #1 - Repair Library Permissions
2 - Option #4 - Rebuild Library Database.
 
This will help facilitate a clean conversion of the iPhoto library to the new 
Photos library format.

When you are satisfied that Yosemite is working well, then install the 
osxupdcombo10.10.5.dmg.
I would suggest you first BACKUP - Time Machine and CCC Bootable backup (check 
bootable backup - check TM backup)
Then Install "osxupdate10.10.5" Combo
Just double click on the osxupdcombo10.10.5.dmg to open the disk image then 
follow the instructions.

After the combo update installation completes, check Software Update and 
install any updates shown.
==
The migration from iPhoto or Aperture to Photos actually happens automatically 
if you only have one library in your Pictures folder. 
One quick note: I’ve posted before to WAMUG warning people - Before you migrate 
all of your existing photos into Photos for OS X, make sure you have enough 
iCloud storage space if you want to take advantage of iCloud Photo Library, 
which syncs your images across all of your devices. With iCloud Photo Library 
turned on in the Photos app, all of your images will be uploaded to the cloud, 
which does eat up your iCloud storage space. 

You can use Photos without iCloud Photo Library -- just make sure you turn it 
off in the Preferences menu.

How to: Move your iPhoto or Aperture Library to Photos 

As you have previously been using iPhoto or Aperture on your Mac and iPhoto 
Library or Aperture Library is in the default location (User Home > Pictures 
folder) 

Step 1. When you first click on Photos app and the Welcome Screen appears, you 
should click on the Blue Box 'Get Started'. 

Step 2. If you were previously using iPhoto or Aperture; after clicking 'Get 
Started', it searches your system and detects your iPhoto and Aperture 
libraries.
Select which Library you want to use with Photos from the list
Which (unless you changed the name of your iPhoto Library) will be 'iPhoto 
Library' 

Step 3. Once you select the library, it presents the option to set up iCloud 
Photo Library, (Apple's iCloud-based photo and video syncing and storage 
service. This will allow you to sync all the Photos from your Mac and iOS 
device to each of your other devices, keeping your edits and albums in sync.)
At this stage, especially if you are not sure about putting ALL your pictures 
into iCloud Photo Library - I recommend you DON'T - (you can always set that up 
later under Photo's Preferences from the menu bar; it's optional and never 
required unless you want automatic, cloud-based syncing. 

Step 4. It then starts to Prepare your library to transition to Photos.
Your old photo libraries will stay on your Mac if you decide you want to use 
iPhoto or Aperture (because Aperture is more for Professional photographers & 
has more powerful editing tools and built-in support for external editors).
However, if you make any changes in those libraries, they will NOT 
automatically sync over to your new Photos Library. 

Most of the data from iPhoto and Aperture will transfer to the Photos app. 

Faces is still the same. Also, if you were using star ratings, flags and colour 
labels in iPhoto & Aperture

[Matt Falvey]

Hi Ronni, I managed to get iPhoto on a USB stick and installed it this morning, 
it ran straight away and without any problems. So iPhoto on Yosemite 10.10 is 
fine.

If you could let me know the best way and time to install the Yosemite 10.10.5 
combo update and how to migrate/import to Photos from iPhotos.

I believe you mentioned previously that I can still use iPhoto in Yosemite and 
El Capitan and that you use both iPhoto and Photos?

Thanks.

Matt.

Re: A few problems after upgrade 10.8.5 to 10.10 Yosemite

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Matt,

Good to hear iPhoto 9.6.1 is sorted. And thanks for sending my Thumb Drive back 
I received it today.
I have put this subject back on to WAMUG & I'll reply to your post with further 
details  - installing the Yosemite 10.10.5 combo update and the transition to 
Photos - how to migrate/import to Photos from iPhoto.

As I mentioned in a previous reply you can still use iPhoto.app in Yosemite & 
El Capitan, I use iPhoto as well as Photos in El Capitan and did in Yosemite 
when Photos was released in the 10.10.3 update.
You can still use your original iPhoto library with iPhoto 9.6.1 and Aperture 
3.6 after you've migrated it to Photos.
Your old library won't be converted, just imported, so you can still open it in 
iPhoto or Aperture if you like.
NOTE:  Any changes you make in iPhoto or Aperture after you migrate to Photos, 
like image edits or album changes, will be visible only in iPhoto or Aperture.

Matt -As you realise, if you are unable to upgrade your Aperture v3.4.5 to 
Aperture v3.6 - Aperture will not work in Yosemite or El Capitan.

I also recommend repairing/rebuilding your iPhoto library with iPhoto before 
converting it to Photos.  
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and run the following 
options in the First Aid window:
 
1 - Option #1 - Repair Library Permissions
2 - Option #4 - Rebuild Library Database.
 
This will help facilitate a clean conversion of the iPhoto library to the new 
Photos library format.

When you are satisfied that Yosemite is working well, then install the 
osxupdcombo10.10.5.dmg.
I would suggest you first BACKUP - Time Machine and CCC Bootable backup (check 
bootable backup - check TM backup)
Then Install "osxupdate10.10.5" Combo
Just double click on the osxupdcombo10.10.5.dmg to open the disk image then 
follow the instructions.

After the combo update installation completes, check Software Update and 
install any updates shown.
==
The migration from iPhoto or Aperture to Photos actually happens automatically 
if you only have one library in your Pictures folder. 
One quick note: I’ve posted before to WAMUG warning people - Before you migrate 
all of your existing photos into Photos for OS X, make sure you have enough 
iCloud storage space if you want to take advantage of iCloud Photo Library, 
which syncs your images across all of your devices. With iCloud Photo Library 
turned on in the Photos app, all of your images will be uploaded to the cloud, 
which does eat up your iCloud storage space. 

You can use Photos without iCloud Photo Library -- just make sure you turn it 
off in the Preferences menu.

How to: Move your iPhoto or Aperture Library to Photos 

As you have previously been using iPhoto or Aperture on your Mac and iPhoto 
Library or Aperture Library is in the default location (User Home > Pictures 
folder) 

Step 1. When you first click on Photos app and the Welcome Screen appears, you 
should click on the Blue Box 'Get Started'. 

Step 2. If you were previously using iPhoto or Aperture; after clicking 'Get 
Started', it searches your system and detects your iPhoto and Aperture 
libraries.
Select which Library you want to use with Photos from the list
Which (unless you changed the name of your iPhoto Library) will be 'iPhoto 
Library' 

Step 3. Once you select the library, it presents the option to set up iCloud 
Photo Library, (Apple's iCloud-based photo and video syncing and storage 
service. This will allow you to sync all the Photos from your Mac and iOS 
device to each of your other devices, keeping your edits and albums in sync.)
At this stage, especially if you are not sure about putting ALL your pictures 
into iCloud Photo Library - I recommend you DON'T - (you can always set that up 
later under Photo's Preferences from the menu bar; it's optional and never 
required unless you want automatic, cloud-based syncing. 

Step 4. It then starts to Prepare your library to transition to Photos.
Your old photo libraries will stay on your Mac if you decide you want to use 
iPhoto or Aperture (because Aperture is more for Professional photographers & 
has more powerful editing tools and built-in support for external editors).
However, if you make any changes in those libraries, they will NOT 
automatically sync over to your new Photos Library. 

Most of the data from iPhoto and Aperture will transfer to the Photos app. 

Faces is still the same. Also, if you were using star ratings, flags and colour 
labels in iPhoto & Aperture, they are still around in Photos, but they are now 
Keywords and assigned to the photos. 

You'll notice your Events from your previous photo library is organised 
alongside Albums in the new Photos app preserving your organisation. 


A SAFE and HAPPY NEW YEAR to WAMUG Committee and all Members!

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: A few problems after upgrade 10.8.5 to 10.10 Yosemite

[Matt Falvey]

Hi Ronni, I tried the Update option and it came up with the message, "An error 
occurred during purchase" and would not go any further. I tried it on all the 
apps listed, so this option is not a viable one.

If you would so good as to upload the iPhoto 9.6.1 to your Dropbox or Copy 
folder and let me know how to access it I would be more than grateful.

Would I then just need to delete the old application and put the new one in 
place and open it?

Once again thanks very much.

Matt.

iPhoto from an Life DVD will only show up in Purchases, if you previously 
updated to at least iPhoto 9.4.5. 
That will have associated your Apple ID  with iPhoto at the AppStore and add it 
to your Purchases history. 
If you never updated to a newer version, that is only available from the App 
Store, beyond iPhoto 9.4.3, you cannot reinstall iPhoto from the App Store.

You can try, it is worth a try - but I don’t ‘think’ this will work with iPhoto 
9.6.1. 
I feel that when you click on Update (beside iPhoto) it will require you to 
Sign-In with your Apple ID.
If you type in your regular Apple ID you probably will receive a message 
“Unavailable” if you type in the New User Apple ID you might receive “Not To Be 
Found”.
But give it a go and see what happens.

A Finder copy of iPhoto.app v 9.6.1 will work. In other words if you have the 
needed version (9.6.1) on another computer, or can obtain iPhoto.app v9.6.1 
copy - you can delete the old version and copy over the 9.6.1 version into 
Applications.
I have a copy of iPhoto.app v9.6.1 file size is 1.7GB, so I’d need to upload it 
to my Dropbox or Copy folder which will take all night to upload before you 
could download it.

By default, all Applications are installed in /Applications. Those are 
available to all users. 
If you choose to install in your home Applications folder, they are only 
available to that user.

Re: A few problems after upgrade 10.8.5 to 10.10 Yosemite

[Matt Falvey]

Hi Ronni, thanks for that. Quite a predicament.

Okay I had bought iPhoto and Aperture the old fashioned way and installed them 
using DVD’s, so there was nothing to see in the Purchased tab in the App Store 
relating to either of those apps.

I had a hunt around on the web for ways of trying to find how to get iPhoto 
9.6.1 if you don’t have it in the Purchased tab.  Someone suggested creating a 
new user account with full admin privileges, restarting the mac, getting a new 
apple id in the new name, logging into the App Store and then have a look.

I did this and in updates I have 6, including iPhoto 9.6.1 and Aperture 3.6.  
the others are Keynote, Numbers, Pages and iMovie, they all have “Update” next 
to them.

The million dollar question is as these say Update, not Install is it just a 
question of clicking Update and letting it go ahead?

Am correct in thinking that even though I have created another “user" that we 
will both be using the same apps, so it will update my existing versions and as 
I have no intention of ever doing anything under the new users name apart from 
these updates, it should have no bearing on the existing apps?

I may if you give me the go ahead start with one of the apps I seldom use like 
Numbers and see if it works on that first. I have left the iMac open on the new 
users page, with the App Store page open in case I mess anything up, until I 
hear from you.

Thanks.

Matt.

Re: A few problems after upgrade 10.8.5 to 10.10 Yosemite

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Matt,

As you were aware you require iPhoto v 9.6.1 & Aperture 3.6 in Yosemite.
Apple previously stated that Aperture and iPhoto will remain functional if they 
were already installed.
But both installed iPhoto & Aperture had to be the latest updates. 
iPhoto v 9.6.1 & Aperture 3.6
You mentioned that you have iPhoto v 9.4.3 & Aperture 3.4.5 so they need to be 
updated.
I assume that when you went to "the App Store and downloaded 3 or 4 software 
updates" that iPhoto & Aperture were not showing?
Aperture and iPhoto were removed from the Mac App Store and are no longer 
available for download.
With their disappearance from the Mac App Store, however, users are unlikely to 
get future updates.

After you update to 10.10.5 you will migrate your iPhoto & Aperture Libraries 
to Photos which came in the 10.10.3 update.
Your old library won't be converted, just imported, so you can still open it in 
Aperture or iPhoto if you like (though once you import, if you do anything new 
with that library in Aperture, it won't carry over to the Photos version). The 
same with iPhoto.

The new Photos library references the same master images as your old library, 
so you don't need the space to store images twice. It also makes for an 
incredibly efficient migration process.

So how can you update iPhoto & Aperture?
If you purchased from the App Store.
First try this:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. 
If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1 - If Aperture is there it should be 
v3.6

If iPhoto is under Purchases - Quit the App Store.
Then:
1. Delete (Move to Trash,but don’t empty) all versions of the iPhoto.app that's 
on your hard drive.  
Induce any alias files for them as well.  
2. Go back to the Purchases section at the App Store and download iPhoto 9.6.1.
You might find you need to Sign Out and then Sign back In to your Account 
to change the ‘Open’ to ‘Install’ or 'Download’ beside iPhoto
3. Click Download
4. Install iPhoto

If Aperture was in Purchases - you might need to do things a little differently:
Then:
1. Uninstall Aperture. 
Go to finder; applications, find Aperture. 
Click on Aperture, and look above to Action, click on that and click on ‘Move 
to Trash’.
2. Open the App Store
3. Go to the Featured tab in the app store
4. Click on Account which is on the right side of the page.
 A box comes up for you to put in your password! Don't put it in. 
5. Sign out.
6. Go back to Account, and Sign In. 
7. Go to purchases. You will now should see Install to the right of the 
Aperture Icon
8. Install it again 

Unfortunately these are the problems you experience when you stay too far 
behind in OS X upgrades.
Post back with your results please.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: A few problems after upgrade 10.8.5 to 10.10 Yosemite

[Matt Falvey]

HI Ronni, I have done all of those and have managed to get the App Store online 
and downloaded 3 or 4 software updates. As we discussed I did not install the 
10.10.5, even though it was there, that was the only thing left in the Upgrades.

I repaired permissions and let Mail and iTunes update.

Aperture and iPhoto still have the grey no entry sign across the front of their 
icon and I thought I would wait to get some type on instruction from you as to 
how to proceed with this problem for these two, or one as they share the same 
database, before I try to open either of them?  

So far the rest of the installation has gone really well.

Thanks.

Matt.

A few problems after upgrade 10.8.5 to 10.10 Yosemite

[Matt Falvey]

Hi, I have just ran the install for Yosemite to upgrade from 10.8.5. (Thanks 
Ronni.) Most things seem to have worked out well.

I have been working my way through Ronni’s list from “Prepare to Upgrade to 
Yosemite”, after Spotlight had finished indexing, I tried to open Software 
Update but could not connect. I had to enter the WPA password into System 
Preferences to get the WiFi working again, no big deal there.

When that was finished I still could not get Software Update to open, “Cannot 
Connect to the App Store”. I tried, opening the “firewall”, logging in and out 
of my Apple account, going to the Keychain to see if I had any Verisign login 
Certificates and a host of other possibilities, none could get the connection 
to open. Any ideas as to how to fix it so I can do the upgrades?  (I had 
intended to only do the updates for this 10.10 version as Ronni suggested and 
then run the 10.10.5 later when everything is working ship shape.)

Safari is working fine as is Mail. I did notice though that the icons for 
Aperture and iPhoto have a grey do not enter icon over them. So I did not 
attempt to open them before posting her to find out what I should do about them 
before hand?

Thanks

Matt.
