Q: iphoto will not run

I just updated iPhoto by installing a new version (9.6) from the App store when i realized i can't access my photo library without doing so. the program will not run. when i click on it from the applications menu, nothing happens, and it appears to not have been installed although i downloaded it and followed all of the prompts for installation. i tried downloading the library updater but it doesn't seem to have made a difference. how do i get the program to run? thanks.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

SO you did step 1 - now you need to do steps 2 through 5 - run the library upgrader

iPhoto '11 or later: About the Library Upgrader - Apple Support

Then you launch iPhoto to finish the upgrade

In future posts you need to provide all details including messages you receive

hi,
well i didn't receive any messages at that point - the details i described was the entirety of my experience. however just now when i tried to run the library upgrader, it says "Your library can open with the current version of Iphoto and does not need to be prepared with this tool." yet i still cannot open and run iphoto. do you any suggestions? thank you

Backup your iPhoto library, Hold down the option and command keys and double click on the iphoto library to launch iPhoto - key the keys down until the first aid window appears and rebuild your library
