A:

After you installed Yosemite, you need to install iPhoto 9.6 from the AppStore.

Launch the AppStore App, sign in from the Store menu,  and open the "Purchases" tab,

If iPhoto does not show at the AppStore on your Purchases page, perhaps with an Accept button, install it from the main page of the AppStore. Open the main "Featured" tab and enter "iPhoto" into the search field.

Download and install iPhoto from there.

    1 - you need to update your profile as you state that you have OS X 10.6.3 in it

     

    2 - for Yosemite you need to backup your iPhoto library and install iPhoto 9.6 from the App store - if you are upgrading from iPhoto '08 or earlier you need to also run the iPhoto Library upgrader prior to launching iPhoto 9.6

     

    3 - Your photos are NOT in iCloud - it is not a place to store photos - it is only to move photos between devices (MyPhotoStream) or people (shared PhotoStreams) - they are (by default) in the iphoto library in your pictures folder - if you did not backup your iphoto library prior to erasing you disk then they are gone
