iPhoto has suddenly begun to want to update my photo library in a way that will render the photos inaccessible to all my older devices. Because of this irrational new desire on the part of the program, now all my photos are inaccessible because I cannot open the program without performing the update, which I will not do. In short, I can't open iPhoto any longer. So I'm screwed.
I've thus far downloaded an earlier version of the program and the computer won't let me install it because the evil newer version (probably came bundled with the OSX.9.5) won't let it. It's like having a bad girlfriend move in and not let you see any of your friends or family.
I got an iPhone 6 recently and wonder if it's related to that. It automatically opens iPhoto whenever I plug it in to charge or add apps. That's annoying and I'd like to disable that, too, but given I cannot enter the program without ruining all my photos, I'm stumped. I was hoping I could get into the Preferences folder to make some adjustments, but it won't let me.
Do any of you have any workarounds for this? I'm scratching my head.
