Iphoto 9.0

Posted on  by

I had been wanting to upgrade iPhoto ’09 to iPhoto ’11. But I have been reading few horror stories as how the upgrade would kill iPhoto, make it crippled and inaccessible and most importantly trash photos beyond recovery. I did not jump to upgrade right after iPhoto ’11 was announced.

Iphoto 9.0 free download - Facebook Exporter for iPhoto, Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0 Service Pack 2.0, iPhoto Library Manager, and many more programs. You will need to purchase the iLife 11 boxed disc from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11 (US). Then install iPhoto 9.0 and apply the iPhoto 9.1updater. 9th standard tamil konar guide pdf free. Then you can download and instal the iPhoto 9.4updater.

Then, there in fact was an update from Apple. I then followed few discussions on that. Sadly there were either new problems or the patch did not work for many. Then I came across one more patch from Apple. So then I thought I would give it a shot.

Backup

My iPhoto ’09 library is little over 13GB. I had spent LOT of time to edit, enhance and organize my library. I didn’t want to loose ‘any of them’. Even before I had planned the upgrade I had been taking snapshots of it, using Time Machine. In addition to that, I chose to ‘export’ photos by ‘Events’.

Under ‘Export Options’, I chose to save them as originals as otherwise, you have to convert them to JPEG, PNG etc. (those are time-consuming too).

These were copied into a local folder and those were backed up by Time Machine as well, before the upgrade.

Aperture

Aperture has a superb option to either ‘Copy’ of ‘Move’ photos from iPhoto ( iPhoto ’09). Before I started the upgrade, I chose to import using Aperture and it did a fantastic job. So essentially I had another (much more powerful) photo management software handling my photos. I didn’t want to delete all my photos and start from the scratch, even though I think that would have been an easy option. Since I had redundant backup’s I thought I would try to upgrade my 13GB library to see what happens.

Upgrade

Honestly, I find the documentation on the upgrade from Apple, very confusing. If you read the same page (that I pointed earlier), it refers to update 9.0.1, but when you visit the link (pointed), it has the version 9.1.

I was not sure if I had to assume that 9.1 would include 9.0.1.

At least I didn’t find any documentation on that. So I followed the following steps (after taking backups, as listed above)

Iphoto 9.0.0

  • Install iPhoto ’11 (version number : 9.x), but do not open it (yet)
  • Patch up 9.0.1 [ If you try to run the patch with iPhoto ’09 (version number : 8.x), it will throw errors) ]
  • Patch up 9.1 [ again, If you try to run the patch with iPhoto ’09 (version number : 8.x), it will throw errors) ]
  • Reboot (not required, but thought I’d just have a clean start)
  • Do a software update – Ironically, Apple by then had issued their 2nd update for iTunes (with in 24 hours), not related to iPhoto
  • Then I started iPhoto ’11
  • It prompted that my library has to be upgraded to be used with iPhoto ’11. I went ahead, it took a while (may be because of the size) and it came to life
  • Since I had the entire library in Aperture, comparison (to see if any photo or event is missing) was very easy
  • I didn’t miss anything – Events, Photos, Faces (I had painstakingly set, Geo Coordinates) were all intact !

And needless to say, iPhoto ’11 is awesome. Thanks to this exercise I finally got around to play with Aperture as well.
