After updating my OS X to Yosemite, 10.10.2, In order to get iPhoto working I pdgraded to version 9.6.1. When I go to open it, I get this window.
I select repair, Enter in my password and it appears try to do its thing, but gives me the following message
I click OK and it promptly closes.
Any solutions? Thanks in advance.

Couple of things to try:
Restart your mac and try launch iPhoto again.
If that fails:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a file called ‘iPhoto’Lock.data or similar. Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If not: Where is your iPhoto Library stored? If it's on an External Disk, what format is that?

Thanks for the tip. I did as you instructed. After dragging the file to the desktop and trying to start iPhoto, I got this message.
I selected Upgrade and that solved the problem. I tossed the lock data from the desktop. I saw a new file in the folder and it works. Thanks much
