Q: when i click on my iPhoto icon absolutely nothing happens

I have an iMac27-inch mid 2011.

Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5

Processore 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

I am running OS X Yosemite 10.0

I am not sure what iPhoto I have.

But when I click on the iPhoto icon nothing happens.  It will not open it does not show an error message.

I have restarted the computer but that did not help.

    Make sure your using iPhoto version.9.6 and not 9.5. Update to 9.6, it is for Yosemite users. If that doesn't work, then try doing what rkaufmann said.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages

    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

              View ▹ Show Log List

    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try to launch iPhoto. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    Thank you all for your responses.  Updating the iPhoto to 9.6 resolved the issue.
