Mac – Can’t find and open the Photos application in Mac OS X 10.10.2 (Yosemite)

macosx-yosemite

I can’t find and open the Photos application—that has replaced the iPhotos application—on a Mac that is running Mac OS X 10.10.2 (Yosemite).

I've looked in Finder, Launchpad, and Spotlight.

Yep. Photos was introduced in OS X Yosemite v10.10.3.

Let your Yosemite installation do all its software updates and Photos will be there.

The current version of Yosemite (as of this writing in early September 2015) is 10.10.5, so you're many months behind on updates, and thus missing out on security fixes and other critical bug fixes (Wi-Fi, Bonjour, etc.).

In terminal:

Enable: sudo nvram boot-args="niog=1"

To undo: sudo nvram -d boot-args

This works brilliantly!

Steps I use: 1) After putting in the terminal command, reboot and close the lid immediately 2) Keep the lid closed during boot up and once logged in, open the lid 3) The MacBook Pro's screen is off
