Which iPhoto version do you have?
You need to update to iPhoto 9.6.1.
Apple stopped selling iPhoto from the App Store. No wonder you cannot find it on the Main page of the Mac App Store.
You can no longer buy iPhoto from the App Store anywhere, and also not update it from the "Updates" tab of the App Store. You can however reinstall it, if it is showing among your Purchases history at the App Store and associated with your AppleID.
Sign into the App Store and look at the Purchases tab. Is iPhoto listed there? Only if you see it there, can you reinstall as described in this User Tip:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
The main idea is to move the incompatible iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the App Store by pressing ⌘R, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.
So move iPhoto to the Trash (don't empty the Trash), relaunch the App Store. The button to the right if iPhoto should change to Install on the "Purchases" tab.
If you do not see iPhoto there, try to unhide your Purchases as described on this page: Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support
If you do not see iphoto on your Purchases tab, give the App Store Support a call. The "Support" link is between the Quick Links on the Main Page.
My computer says i need to update to latest iphoto which is compatable with os x but apps says it is not available in uk
