My iPhoto won't open, and tells me I need to download the current version. But when I try to do that, it says the application isn't available in my country.

I was trying to open iPhoto one day, when I noticed the icon had a white circle with a slash mark through it on top of the icon. I clicked on it, and an error message popped up that read: "In order to open iPhoto, you need to update to the latest version." (I had just updated my Mac with the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Supplemental Update) So I go ahead and click download on the error message, and it brings me to the app store and says "Item Not Available. The item you've requested is not currently available in your country." (I live in the U.S.)

Had this happened to anybody??

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

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.
