Hi,
I just recently dowloaded the latest updates on my macbook pro, including the new version of iPhoto, via the App store. And now I still have the old iPhoto on my dock which is not responsive and does not load? Also, my app store is very slow loading and then the watermark logo of the app store appears with none of the icons on the top responding?
Please can you help...
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2), Attempting to get iPhoto V9.5
Remove iphoto (old) icon from dock

Go to finder/Applications/iphoto and drag the icon back to the dock.
see this thread re app store problem
Still no luck!
I removed iPhoto from the dock as suggested, but in 'Finder' --> 'Applications' I have two iPhotos. The newer version has 'App store download' written as the description in the 'Kind' column.
So I tried dragging the older version of iPhoto onto the dock, and still the same problem. Also, because my App store is not loading properly I am unable to re-download the update.
Is there any way of undoing the changes from my latest application updates? Similiar to windows restore?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
