Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1


If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash


Install the App from the App Store.


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.

I had the same problem, worse - I can't import photos from my camera since upgrading to 10.10.3.


The good news is that I have found iPhoto lurking under PICTURES and now re-named as PHOTO LIBRARY. I opened it and there it was in the old format. All my photos were there too. The bad news is it still won't recognise the jpg files on my camera!!!

Greetings Terence!

After I upgraded to El Capitan this evening, the iPhoto was asking to be upgraded, only for the App Store to say 'Temporarily unavailable'. This was fixed by your suggestion of trashing the iPhoto app only, and installing it from the Purchases tab. iPhoto 9.6.1 installed successfully but now when I open it, the rainbow wheel spins for a while and says the iPhoto Library is being used by 'mbfloagent' and asks me to quit mbfloagent. Is this too bad?


If this is too bad, then I'll need to restore from my Mavericks backup, taken last night. I was never on Yosemite, if it helps.


Thanks!
