In extremely rare cases, if you do not follow the recommendations below during the upgrade process, you may experience data loss. Organize your collection into albums, or keep your photos organized automatically with smart albums. Perfect your images with intuitive built-in editing tools, or use your favorite photos apps. And with iCloud Photos, you can keep all your photos and videos stored in iCloud and up to date on your Mac, Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, and even your PC. Jan 10, 2017 I hear Apple no longer have iPhoto for download at the app store any more!! But some people have tried work around by copying iPhoto from older Mac computer running an older OS or downloading it from the internet from a third party. But I hear macOS Sierra will not allow iPhoto.
