iPhoto not available in US app store?

I have iPhoto 8.1.2. I need 9.2.2 but cannot update to it from the App store.

The only way you'll be able to get iPhoto 9 is to purchase the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.ccm or eBay.com. That will install iPhoto 9.0 and you can update it to the latest version that will run with your system via these updaters applied in the following order:

1 - update to iPhoto 9.2.1

2 - update to iPhoto 9.3

3 - update to iPhoto 9.3.2

4 - update to iPhoto 9.4

5 - and finally to iPhoto 9.4.3

Note: There is no 9.2.2 version.

Will do. Thanks much for your help.

Gail from maine - to clarify, if i have yosemite, and my iPhotos app is not replaced by Photos (and i see that because both are listed in my Applications folder and in dock) what does it mean when i get the message telling me "in order to open iPhoto, you need to update to the latest version....Download the latest version from the Mac App Store" , and then after clicking on Search App Store and getting the message that this version is not available in the US store, then am i understanding right that there is no way to do this? There is no way i can have iPhoto working on my mac running yosemite?

You need iPhoto 9.6.1 - If you do not keep your software up to date see Can't Update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store

No, there is a way to get it running. I have it running with El Capitan, and I had it running with Yosemite. If you were running a 9.x version of iPhoto before you upgraded, then you can follow these instructions to get a working copy of the iPhoto app on your Mac:

Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities

Hi. i have iPhoto 9.4.2 and i have Yosemite. So i just found out i can't open this version of iPhoto and there is no update available for my OS which is 10.3.3. So to clarify, your post about obtaining the 9.0 update from a 3rd party like Amazon is irrelevant to my situation,right? As far as you know, is there no solution for my situation of needing to use iPhoto? Even though i think you said iPhoto 9.5.1 is needed to use the work around you described in another post, i tried it anyway, because i don't have anything else to try. I opened the package using control click, i went into contents > macOS and tried to make an alias from the iPhoto file (that says EXEC on it). i haven't made an alias in so long, i have forgotten how but i thought if i just drag and drop the file it would make a copy. That's what appeared to happen. On my desk top there was a copy of the file with a little curved arrow, and in the MacOS folder was still the original file. OK, good, so then i clicked on the alias file. It tried to open iPhoto but during the long process, iPhoto crashed, i tried again and it crashed again.

i just checked the Contents > MacOS folder and the iPhoto file is not there. Only the Google Chrome file is there now. I drug the alias file from the desktop to the MacOS folder and it was in there, but after closing and reopening the folder, that file is gone. I did a find file attempt. i don't remember the exact name of the file, i think it was just iPhoto, but it did have iPhoto in the name, and my search does not show that file. Is it now a hidden file, do you think, or is it destroyed or deleted by my attempt to see if i could somehow open iPhoto that way? Any idea? ave

Very discouraging. Will the loss of this file destroy anything important? might there be any way of getting that file back?
