iPhoto temporarely unavailable

Since about 2 weeks, the AppStore App on my Mac shows an update for iPhoto Version 9.6.1. However, each time I try to download this update, I get the message "This item is temporarely unavailable. Try again later". Now I wunder: When is later?

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), 13" Mid 2012, 4 GB 1800 MHz DDR3,

This could help, since iPhoto is not supported and not delivered as part of the OS anymore:

Empty the Trash bin;

then drag the iPhoto.app icon from the Applications folder to the Trash bin, do NOT empty the Trash bin;

Open Appstore.app, choose the Purchased tab;

select iPhoto (it should be there), and click install: this will install the latest version, your settings are still there.

Quit Appstore.

Start the iPhoto.app in the Applications folder: it works in Yosemite and ElCapitan.

When satisfied completely, empty the trash bin.

BTW, iPhoto was never delivered as part of OS X.


Any updates to iPhoto or other iLife apps have always been separate from OS X updates.


That has now changed with Photos, which is integrated into OS X and receives updates with the rest of OS X.
