Q: can iphoto just disappear? Why does my computer show no photos?

I Was trying to look at photos and iPhoto had just disappeared from my computer and seemingly so had my 30,0000 photos stored on my external hardrive.  I am running MacKeeper and seem to have started to recover them.  I tried to download iPhoto again and it said It couldn't run on less than OSX 10.10 whereas I have 10.9.5.  When I have recovered my pictures I will update the OS.  Can I update it now while the recovery is happening? And can I download iPhoto while recovering the photos?  Has anyone experience of this?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.8)
