I'm new to Apple software and products and so far I am not impressed! When I try to open i photo on my new Mac book pro with retina display, I am told that I need to update it from the app store. When I click the link to the App Store I get a message that App Store UK has no knowledge of this update. Result - I am unable to use i photo. I am using OS X Yosemite ver. 10.10.3. Can anyone help please?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
What version of iPhoto are you trying to open? Control (right) - click on the application and elect Show Info from the contextual menu. There will be the version no.

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.

Thanks for your reply, at least I now know that I have ver. 9.6 of iPhoto but I still cannot find 9.6.1 at the app store, I'm losing patience with this, why does Apple make everything so complicated? now 5 past 11 and I'm tired so am going to bed!
Drag your existing copy of iPhoto 9.6 to the Trash bin (don't delete as yet) and then go to the App Store and search under Purchases or Updates.
