Since the new update to Photos, I can't seem to find my old iPhoto photos anywhere. There were a lot of pictures there that meant a lot. Please help.🙂
If they aren't stored in the Photos app ..
Check your Pictures folder. Open a Finder window. You should see Pictures on the left.
Other than that, perhaps you can restore from a Time Machine backup ...
Or see if you can locate photos using Spotlight helps you find what you're looking for
Look in your Pictures folder for the iPhoto Library package. If it's not there do you have a backup of your hard drive made just prior to your upgrade to El Capitan. Restore the library from it.
iPhoto wasn't deleted from your hard drive. It was just removed from the Dock and is still in the Applications folder. In order to get iPhoto 9.6.1 from the App Store you first must have some version of iPhoto 9.X on your hard drive. If you do try following Terence Devlin's instructions in this post to obtain iPhoto 9.6.1 from the App Store:

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If iPhoto 9.6.1 is there, close the App Store, drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash and then go back to the App Store.
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
However, as of tomorrow, March 31st, iPhoto will no longer be supported by the Apple Print products store. So if you intend to purchase any books, calendars, prints or cards you should continue migration to the new Photos app.
NOTE: the key to this procedure is to move the existing version of iPhoto 9 to the Trash bin in the Dock (don't empty yet) before going to the App Store.
How do I recover all my old iPhoto photos?
