Q: When I double click on IPhoto to open and look at my photos the APP store trys to open it. I never had this issue before. Why now?

I was using IPhoto looking at creating a Book when I uploaded the book for purchasing the site froze. I stopped the upload turned off computer and when I restarted the computer IPhoto dissappeared. I called Apple and the lady talked me through restoring IPhoto. She found it in the trash.It worked fine for a day or two, I uploaded more photos from Nikon camera closed IPhoto and now it won't open. The App Store trys to open it but it times out and won't connect.

 

When I double click on IPhoto to open and look at my photos the APP store trys to open it. I never had this issue before. What  do I do?

MacBook Pro, iOS 7.0.1, OS X 10.9.1

    Try dragging a photo to the desk top, highlight it and press COMMAND I this will open the info window, in the drop down menu "open with" select either preview, or other, then select iPhoto. Preview is the default.

    Then click "Change All"
