iPhoto won't open

Hey everybody!

I recently bought my first macbook pro and so far I've managed to solve all the problems by myself, but this one just doesn't seem to make any sense.

I'm using macbook pro 2015, os X Yosemite 10.10.3 and today I installed some updates that app store suggested and after that I can't open iPhoto anymore.

It says this:

If I click on the "search app store" button it just says: The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store.

Everything was working just fine before. I don't know what to do now.

Has anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Martin

iPhoto '11, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

If you previously purchased iPhoto, it should be in your App Store Purchases list. If you don’t see it, it may be under Hidden Purchases. You can try downloading it from there.

Here you may find more info how to hide/unhide purchases; Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support

I didn't purchase it, iPhoto was already on my computer. It's not in hidden purchases either! I think the problem comes from opening the Photos app. Is there any way to reverse all this?

Would formatting my laptop to previous settings help get iPhoto back to work?

Which is the iPhoto version you had installed? If your computer came with iPhoto '11, version 9.x.x preinstalled, and you updated it regularly, it should be showing on your Purchases tab, when you sign into the AppStore. Perhaps you are using the wrong AppleID, when you go to the AppStore > Store menu to sign in?

If iPhoto does not appear at the App Store for any of your AppleIDs, but your Mac came with iPhoto '11,contact the Appstore Support for help. There is a link to the Support on the main page of the App Store, in the "Quick Links" section.

Only if you have a full Time Machine backup, including all applications, of your Mac that you created before you updated to Yosemite.
