Q: Where are all my photos after upgrade?
Hi,
I just upgraded to 'El Capitan' from a much older version, I had skipped Yosemite. I had 12,000+ photos.
When I open iPhoto there is nothing in it. When I check my 'About this Mac' I still see 28GB in my memory filled with photos. They must be still there somewhere. How can I get them in my new iPhoto application?
Thanks for all the help I can get.

I have it in 'purchased', but it doesn't allow it, never gets to 'install', only 'open'.
If you are seeing "Open" you have a version of iPhoto installed. Then it is not possible to get to "Install".
Drag your incompatible iPhoto.app from the Applications folder to the Trash (but don't empty the Trash).
Eject all backup drives, if there may be another copy of iPhoto backed up. Then restart the App Store. The button should now be showing "Install".
If you manage to get iPhoto installed, you can try to use its "Repair" function to repair your iPhoto Library before migrating the library to photos.
Do you have enough free storage on your Drive? The migration might get stuck, because there is not enough storage for the migrated library.
