Problem: Can't update iPhoto because it's not available in the App Store

Updating your Mac to Sierra isn't always smooth. I can't open iPhoto. iPhoto won't run on Mac Sierra. I get a prompt saying I need to update to the latest version and directing me to the App Store. However, the new version of iPhoto is not available in US stores. Please help. (iMac, macOS Sierra 10.12)

Answer:

Solution 1: Update to iPhoto 9.6.1 by reinstalling

Starting in 2014, Apple gradually stopped developing Aperture and iPhotos, and replace both with Photos. If you did not update iPhoto (9.x) before updating to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3, you cannot update iPhoto after Yosemite through the App Store. However, you can still update to iPhoto 9.6.1 by reinstalling the app, which will download the current version (assuming you purchased iPhoto 9.x).

Preparation:

1. Go to the "Applications" folder and copy iPhoto to an external hard drive or USB as a backup.

2. Move iPhoto from Applications folder to Trash. Make sure there is no disk installed with a copy of the iPhoto application.

  • Go to the AppStoreà Purchase tab. Make sure iPhoto is on the list of purchased software. If not, you can skip to solution 2.
  • Go to the Purchase tab and find iPhoto using the Update button labeled Install.
Note: You may encounter a 503 error and be asked if you want to try again. Click "Retry" and it will start downloading.
  • Click "Install" and it should download the current version of iPhoto. This will take some time as there is a 1.2GB download.

Solution 2: Switch from iPhoto to Photos

iPhoto无法在macOS Sierra 10.12上运行,如何修复?

The new Photos app adds many features that iPhoto does not have. Changes you make in iPhoto don't show up in Photos, and vice versa. Photo refresh makes finding people, places, and things easier. When iPhoto won't run on Mac Sierra, it's time to switch from iPhoto to Photos.

According to Apple, the new Photos app will be included in the update as long as you have OS X Yosemite v10.10.3 or later installed. If you only have one iPhoto library, all items in this library (photos, videos, albums, projects, etc.) will automatically appear in Photo the first time you open it. If you have multiple photo libraries, you can feel free to choose between libraries created by iPhoto and Aperture. Here's how to do it:

  • Exit photos.
  • Hold down the Option key and open the photo.
  • Select the library you want to open and click "Select Library". If the required library is not listed, click Other Libraries. Navigate to the required library and click Open.

Just make the switch and don’t look back. After you get used to the differences between iPhoto and Photos, you'll love Photos. Also, I know how much photos mean to all of us, sharing an amazing iOS data recovery app that can recover photos, notes, contacts, messages and up to 20 types of files from iPhone, iPad and iPod.
