When I upgraded to Yosemite I lost my iPhoto and now have Photo which lost some of my photos and I prefer the editing in iPhoto. I am told told I must have the latest version of iPhoto to return to iPhoto. The latest version of iPhoto is not available online. How can I obtain it?
Mac Pro, iOS 8.0.2

Re: Is Iphoto gone ? i want it back!
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.
iPHoto is in your applications folder and it works just fine if you are up to date - if you do not keep your software up to date see Can't Update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store
