Q: iPHOTO no longer works after upgrading to El Capitan
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this community looking for help with very limited technical abilities. So please be patient.
I recently bit the bullet and decided to upgrade my 13" (Mid July 2011) Macbook Air from OSX Lion V10.7.5 to OSX El Capitan V10.11.1.
I now have a few problems I need help to resolve. The first is with iPhoto. When trying to open iPhoto I get the following message:
In order to open "iPhoto", you need to update to the latest version.
The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X El Capitan. Download the latest version for free from the Mac App Store.
When trying to update to the latest version 9.6.1 from the App store I get the following message:
Update Unavailable with this Apple ID
This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
The original iPhoto version came installed when I purchased the Macbook air so why am I getting this message and what can I do to resolve this issue?
After reading all the issues people have encountered I'm thinking I should have gone to Yosemite instead of El Capitan. Oh well lesson learned. Do your research before taking the plunge.
I'll discuss my other issues in a different post.
Thanks in advance.
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2011), OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

Mac OS X 10.10.3 and newer include Photos, which is intended as a replacement for iPhoto. If you'd like to go on using iPhoto in addition to or instead of switching to Photos, click here and try following the instructions; you'll only be able to do so if you previously associated iPhoto with the Mac App Store.
