iPhoto is by now yesterday's snow, sadly, and macOS 10.14 will most likely be the last system to support it at all.

Here is a user guide for Photos 2.0 on Sierra: Īnd this document describes, how your iPhoto Library will be migrated to Photos: How Photos handles content and metadata from iPhoto and Aperture - Apple SupportĮven if you can update to iPhoto 9.6.1, use it just to get your iPhoto Library ship-shape and then move on to Photos or any other application, that will suit your needs. You will find all your photos and albums, when Photos opens. Photos will create a Photos Library from your iPhoto Library. Turn on your Mac computer, head to System Preferences > iCloud and enable the Photos option as well. Put the switch of 'iCloud Photo Library' to ON position. Unlock your iPhone, tap on your Apple ID and go to 'iCloud' > 'Photos'.

Launch Photos while holding down the options key ⌥ and select your iPhoto Library. It comes simpler to sync photos between iPhone and Mac via the Photos app. You will see it in your Dock - the icon is showing rainbow coloured flower. In that case use the successor to iPhoto, the Photos.app.

Apple stopped the development of iPhoto at the end of 2014, and you cannot purchase the version any longer, that would be compatible with your current system. If iPhoto is not in your Purchase history, you can no longer update iPhoto. This will update iPhoto to Version 9.6.1, and this version will run on Sierra.

Open the 4th tab 'Purchases' and see, if there is now an Install button next to iPhoto. Then reload the AppStore with ⌘R or launch it again, if you closed it. Upgrading to Photos or using a virtual machine preserves both.Which version of iPhoto do you have installed? If you have been using iPhoto '11, and your iPhoto purchase is listed in your Purchases history at the App Store, you can try to move the iPhoto.app (not your iPhoto Library!) to the Trash. And you might not be able to import modified versions of photos you edited within iPhoto-only the originals. With Google Photos and either Lightroom choice, you won’t be able to preserve metadata added in iPhoto, however. (You could also revert to Mojave, but that’s a time-limited choice, too, and Mac models released after this point won’t run macOS before Catalina.) You can postpone making a change for a little or long while. While it’s not a solution forever, you can use Parallels or VMWare Fusion within Catalina. Install a virtual machine to keep macOS Mojave or an earlier macOS running for iPhoto and other apps. The cloud-oriented version is just $10 a month, which includes 1TB of storage and the use of all the apps across your devices. Adobe offers two different versions: one is oriented towards images stored on a computer ( Lightroom Classic), while the other leans heavily on cloud-based sharing and access for mobile, desktop, and Web (the weirdly named Adobe Photoshop Lightroom). Switch to Adobe Lightroom for photo library managing and maybe for cloud-based sync. You can have the desktop software read an iPhoto library to upload your images. Google offers desktop and mobile apps for importing images and syncs via its cloud service. Photos doesn’t copy the iPhoto images, but it uses a special kind of link that lets the same file exist in two places, avoiding increasing your storage requirements.

Photos can still read and upgrade an iPhoto library, as it doesn’t require launching iPhoto.

If you upgraded to Catalina without first launching Photos or finding another solution, what options do you have? Plenty.
