Hi Stephen & Peter, Photos was introduced in OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 software update? What version of OS X did she just upgrade to High Sierra? ------ Her iPhoto Library will still be in the default location (User Home > Pictures folder)
I posted to WAMUG on 27 April 2015 4:29pm Subject: Re: iPhoto to Photos migration, after Walter and Peter did not do it correctly. I’ve copied my email below: — Hi Walter and all members who are confused how to migrate/import to Photos from iPhoto. Walter & Peter have not done it correctly. Walter the first time you open Photos you do not import any photos from the desktop, you are doing a transition/import of your complete iPhoto Library. 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) 1. When you first clicked on Photos app and the Welcome Screen appears, you should click on the Blue Box 'Get Started'. 2. If you were previously using iPhoto or Aperture, after clicking the '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' 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. 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 it 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.... As I mentioned in my previous email below. 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 color 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. Hopefully this email and my previous emails to the list will help clear any confusion. On my own Macs and my clients Macs the transition has gone very smoothly and easy without any issues at all.
