How do I upgrade iPhoto?

I receive this message. "A new version of iPhoto is available as part of iLife '11" I want to upgrade my iPhoto from v8.1.2 (424), but cannot find iPhoto or iLife in the AppStore. I am using OSX 10.9.5.

I don't care if it costs a little, unless I'm entitled to a free upgrade. At this point, I've spent a few hours looking for it, and can't understand why Apple makes this so difficult.

Can anyone help, please?

Thanks!

MacBook, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), safari 537

There is no iPhoto anymore. When you upgrade to Yosemite you will find iPhoto has been replaced by Photos. I suggest you upgrade to Yosemite. There no longer is an iPhoto upgrade available. And, you don't have a copy of iPhoto that had been purchased from the App Store.


It's possible to buy copies of the iLife '11 DVD on Amazon or eBay. Be sure you get a copy of the retail DVD.

Thank you all who responded so quickly.

I've just read many unfavorable reviews of "Photos", and it sounds like I don't want that.

I wanted to download the software, so I don't have to wait for delivery of a disk in the mail-how old fashioned!

Apparently, there was an iPhoto13, which I guess is not sold separately.

All I wanted to do was be able to edit photos from my iPhone on my MacBook.

But iCloud says I must upgrade iPhoto first.

Why does this Apple support still say it's available on AppStore?

Is there anything official from Apple saying it was discontinued?
