Oct 17, 2015 2:30 PM in response to Crankycatby léonie,If you are running MacOS X 10.10.3 Yosemite or later, you need to update to iPhoto 9.6.1.
Updating does not work. The only way to install the update is to reinstall from the Purchases tab. To be able to reinstall, iPhoto needs to be showing on the Purchases tab of the AppStore with in "Install" button and not an "Update" button. Move any incompatible version of iPhoto you have installed to the Trash (but don't empty the Trash), and then open the fourth ab of the appStore, Purchases. Enter the key combination ⌘R to relaod the tab. Does it now show "Install" to the right of iPhoto? Then click it.

Oct 17, 2015 6:59 PM in response to Old Toadby Crankycat,The step that got the "install" to show up for iPhoto was to restart the computer. But I was able to reinstall iPhoto 9.6.1 after that. Thanks.
