How To Download Iphoto On Mac

Here are the steps for how to use iPhoto recovery program to recover deleted photos from iPhoto on Mac. Click the download button to get the trial version of iBeesoft Data Recovery for Mac. Install it on your Mac like you install other types of software.

Upgrading from iPhoto '09 to iPhoto '11 is actually pretty easy. If you purchase iPhoto as part of iLife '11, just run the iLife '11 installer. If you purchase iPhoto '11 from Apple's Mac Store, the software will be automatically installed for you.

One interesting wrinkle in the update process is that Apple at one time offered a free demo version of iLife '09. If you still have the demo version hanging around on your Mac you can use it to upgrade to iLife '11 without having to purchase the newer iLife suite.

How

iPhoto Version Numbers

If you're confused by the iPhoto names and versions, you're not the only one. Apple used a somewhat convoluted naming scheme for iPhoto and the iLife suites, never quite getting the version numbers in sync. That is why you have an iPhoto '11 name that is actually iPhoto version 9.x

There are two things you should be sure to do; before you install iPhoto '11 make sure you have a backup, and one you install it iPhoto '11, but before you launch it for the first time make sure and check that it is the most current version.

Backup iPhoto

Before you install any iPhoto upgrade or update, you should back up your iPhoto Library. This is especially important with iPhoto '11. There was a problem with the initial version of iPhoto '11 that caused some individuals to lose the contents of their iPhoto Library during the upgrade process. By backing up your iPhoto Library before you upgrade iPhoto, you can copy the iPhoto Library backup file to your hard drive if something goes wrong during the upgrade process. When you relaunch iPhoto '09, it will update the library, and you can try the upgrade again.

If you're not sure how to back up your iPhoto Library, our Backup iPhoto '11 - How to Back Up Your iPhoto Library guide will walk you through the process. (The instructions are the same for iPhoto '09.). You can also use Time Machine or a favorite cloning app such as Carbon Copy Cloner.

Update iPhoto

After you upgrade iPhoto but before you launch it for the first time, use Software Update (Apple Menu, Software Update) to check for updates to iPhoto, which is currently at version 9.6.1. (Although iPhoto is part of the iLife '11 Suite, it's actually iPhoto v. 9.)

If you prefer to perform a manual update, you can download the latest version of iPhoto at Apple's iPhoto Support site. Just click the Downloads link.

iPhoto or Photos

While I won't call iPhoto obsolete, it is no longer supported by Apple, having been replaced by the Photos app with the release of OS X El Capitan. While Photos does not currently have all the bells and whistles iPhoto had, it is continuing to add features with each update. It also has the advantage that it is included with OS X El Capitan and the newer macOS.
