Need iphoto 9.0 to upgrade to iphoto 9.4.3

Hi


Recently upgraded our IMAC to El Capitan and IPhoto stopped working

It asked to go to the apple store for a new version and then said it didn't exist. whoops!


Not to be outdone I googled lots and found a way to get to iPhoto to version 8.1.3. the next version being 9.1.

link here Apple - Support - Downloads


Version 8.1.3 doesn't work with El Capitan either double whoops!

The IMAC now tells me I need version 9.0 to proceed to version 9.1


Does anyone know how to get hold of version 9.0 iPhoto or how you get iPhoto working on el capitan which is the end game.


any advice greatly appreciated

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

To get from version 8.x.x to 9.x.x is a paid upgrade and not a free update.

You would need to purchase an installer for iPhoto 9.x.x. and then update this to iPhoto 9.6.1, the only version compatible with El Capitan.


You can still purchase the upgrade to iPhoto 9.1 from Amazon or eBay as part of the iLife '11 bundle, but it would be useless for you on El Capitan, because you cannot update it to iPhoto 9.6.1. The last iPhoto update on the downloads page is for iPhoto 9.4.3, and that will not run on El Capitan. there is no longer support for iPhoto on El Capitan. The window of opportunity to get the iPhoto 9.6.1 version of iPhoto was shortly before the relese of MacOS X 10.10.3, when Apple introduced Photos for Mac as the new Photo software. After that, iPhoto vanished from the AppStore.
