    No one here updated your Mac, no one designed or had anything to do with the making of this issue. We're all users like yourself, so if you want help the least you can do is not throw your tantrum at us.

    and this update popped up..

    Which update?  Did you install the newest MacOS X 10.10.3 with the new Photos.app?

     

    Then you need to update iPhoto as well, if you current iPhoto version is not iPhoto 9.6.1.

    Which version of iPhoto do you currently have?

    The question is which version?  iPhoto 9.6 will no longer run on MacOS X 10.10.3 - it has to be updated to iPhoto 9.6.1, and the App Store does not always show the update. That is on and off today ...

    Terence I am very sorry...you are dealing with an old woman that didn't even have a computer till a few years ago...I know absolutely nothing about anything...I just knew how to do my pictures...so please understand my frustration....I didn't even know how to post this...I thought I was asking someone from Apple...leonie, yes I dowloaded the newest MacOS X 10.10.3 with the new Photos.app..We tried to click on the iPhoto9.6.1 and it wouldn't let me..said it was no longer available...but I could be wrong..I appreciate you replying, I will wait till my husband comes home and see if he can figure it out...I am just upset and old....and don't understand...

    Well there's no need to be upset. Have you tried launching the new Photos app?

    This is bad news, but you will have to be patient in this case.

     

    Since day  before yesterday iPhoto is no longer sold by Apple, so it does not show at the App Store. You should still be able to update iPhoto to version 9.6.1 from the Updates page of the AppStore, but the is not always offering the download. Try regularly; Apple Support promised that the update will be available again soon.
