iPhoto 9.6.1 temporarily unavailable?
The App Store app on my 15" MacBook Pro (which is running the latest version of Yosemite, v10.10.5) says I have iPhoto 9.6.1 available to download/update. When I try to do so, I get a warning dialogue window that says, "This item is temporarily unavailable. Try again later." When I click OK, the warning dialogue disappears and nothing happens within the App Store app. This has happened to me every time I have tried to update my version of iPhoto (v. 9.5.1) over the last few weeks. To make matters worse, I can't open iPhoto on my laptop because the application is overlayed with a "prohibited" icon.
In the description of what the version 9.6.1 update does, it says it, "improves compatibility when migrating iPhoto Libraries to the Photos app in OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 (available this spring). In my internet research, I have read more than a few "horror stories" about the migration of iPhoto Libraries to the Photos app, and I want the latest version of iPhoto (i.e., v. 9.6.1) on my computer before I do so. What's going on, Apple????
