I recently did the software update ( Yosemite 10.10.3), and having issues with my powerpoint program now. Im working on a project and I wanted to add pictures but I am unable to access iPhoto from within the powerpoint program now. Before update I had no issue.
MacBook Pro, Yosemite 10.10.3
Some folks have fixed this by first launching iPhoto, oddly enough.
Thanks for your reply. I Tried that and still nothing.. 😟
Powerpoint is not compatible with 10.10.3 and Photos. It will only access an iPhoto Library via the Media Browser. Until Adobe provides us with a plugin for Photos you'll have to export the photo you want to use to the Desktop and add them to the PP presentation from there.
iPhoto was not deleted from your hard drive, only removed from the Dock. If you have iPhoto 9.6.1 you can still use your iPhoto library. If you don't have that version but some offends version of 9.x try following Terence Devlin's iinstructions in this post to obtain iPhoto 9.6.1 from the App Store:

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.
Powerpoint is not compatible with 10.10.3 and Photos.
That's not the case: This is in my PP, bit the 2011 and the 2016 versions:
A lot of folks have issues with the Media Browser that I don't have but I have no idea why mine works and your's doesn't.
I'm running Office 2008 which is a bit behind the curve.
