Feb 5, 2015 5:41 PM in response to Bad@computersby Linc Davis,Start by updating iPhoto to the current version (9.6) in the App Store. If you've already done that, please describe what happened in more detail.

Feb 5, 2015 6:04 PM in response to Linc Davisby Bad@computers,My iPhoto 9.6 is already installed. I updated my computer a couple of days ago and I went to my iPhoto library this afternoon and none of my photos were there. I am unsure as to whether they were deleted during the update or by something else.

Feb 5, 2015 8:15 PM in response to Bad@computersby Linc Davis,These are your options:
1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
Advantages: All images and albums should be preserved.
Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.
