How do I migrate my iPhoto to photos?
I just upgraded to Ysemite 10.10.3. iPhotos is apparently not compatible. How do I salvage my photos?
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
iPhotos is compatible with 10.10.3 as long as it is version 9.6.1

If you don't have iPhoto 9.6.1 try downloading it according to the instructions in this post by Terence Devlin:

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.
