Use Preview.

Also OS X 10.9.4 is not a Classic operating system.

The correct forum for such questions is here:

OS X Mavericks

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:

what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
how is the external hard drive formatted? It should be OS X Extended (journaled)
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?

what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
