Q: how to retrieve iphotos from icloud

my imac hard drive crashed and i got a new hard drive installed. I had all my pictures in iphoto in the old hard drive. How can I get access to iphoto so i can view my old pictures.  Also why does my new harddrive not give me a iphoto icon?

    Since iPhoto does not use iCloud Photo Library there are no photos there to recover

     

    what version of he OS are you running and what version of iPHoto  --  the best answer is to restore your backup from before the crash - that is why you always have current backups to protect against this type of hardware failure
