Q: I have lost my iPhoto app after a reinstalling the disk
I had to reinstall the operating system or reformat it after it stopped working one day all of a sudden. Im using OS X Mavericks 10.9.5. Afterwards I had to download many apps all over again which I easily found on app store and elsewhere. But I have not been able to find iPhoto ( i don't know which version it was that I was storing my photos on). Im totally lost as to how to get all my photos back. Can anyone help please?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

I was hoping , somewhere on the internet, on the Apple servers, my photos would still be living , and I'm going to find it all back miraculously
iPhoto can only use My PhotoStream and Shared albums. hat is why you could recover your My Photo Stream photos.
But iPhoto cannot use iCloud photo Library, to store your photos in iCloud, like the new Photos for Mac can.
Do you perhaps have copies of your photos on a mobile device? Did you synv´c an iPhone or iPad with your Mac?
If you do not yet have a backup routine set up for your mac, consider to use Time Machine. it is easy to setup and automatic. It will continually back up your mac, so you will have copies of your documents and data, your photos on an external drive, the next time your Mac crashes so badly that and you are forced to reinstall. Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support
