The newest version of iPhoto for Mac is essentially the same software you’ve been using since 2010: iPhoto 9.5, released in time for Mavericks, does not change much in terms of either the interface or the core functionality of Apple’s consumer-based image editor and photo manager. If you didn't update your 9.x version of iPhoto prior to updating OS X Yosemite to 10. You can re-install the app which will download the current version.
am using an OS X Mavericks iPhoto 9.4.3 and trying to install iPhoto 9.5.1 - but when I load up iPhoto 9.4.3, it states that I should update to iPhoto 9.5.1 - I click 'Go to Software Update', am booted to the Mac App Store, then it doesn't show iPhoto 9.5.1 as an available download.
I went the route of Ask Different iPhoto 9.5.1 upgrade thread and deleted the com.apple.storehelper/* but that didn't help. Then I went and deleted iPhoto.app. Big mistake. Now I'm unable to download the app from the Mac App Store (it states 'Newest version of iPhoto is for OS X Yosemite only - want to download the previous version?' I click yes and am told 'Mac App Store error (null)' and that's it.
How should I proceed? I was able to find a downloader for iPhoto 9.4.3 from the Apple Support pages - and am hoping that it will at least let me re-install iPhoto 9.4.3, but getting to iPhoto 9.5.1 would be pretty important right about now.
(background story, trying to upgrade library to iPhoto 9.5.1 so I can boot up iPhoto 9.5.1 from another Mac and combine / merge it's iPhoto library and the 9.4.3 iPhoto library -- since I'm doing a massive 3 machine 3 iPhoto library merge + duplicate check work for a friend)

Here is the download link of iPhoto 9.4.3
Other versions here:
- Install iLife '11 (or some other version of your choosing that's compatible) from an iLife disk. You'll need to purchase it from somewhere like Amazon or possibly Apple if you somehow manage to get them to agree to send you one from there deep depths (by calling their support or something)–however, once you do so, it's easy riding.
- Though I haven't tried it myself, apparently the iPhoto 9.2.3 update actually contains a full version of iPhoto that you can extract using something like Pacifist.
- Find a 'friend' who happens to have a copy of the relevant installer/application lying around.
There is no way to legally download the latest version of iPhoto for free, as it only came 'free' with brand new Macs for a few years (and has now been replaced on the newest Macs with an app just called 'Photos'). With the new Macs that qualified for the free downloads, the first time you signed in to the App Store you would be prompted to 'Accept' iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband which would then bind these apps to your Apple ID as purchases (although they were free). At this point you could then technically download them on all machines that you owned for free, provided they met system requirements and you remembered your Apple ID and password (no activation key required).
If you're running Mac OS X 10.6.8 though, Apple outlines that only iPhoto 9.2.3 or lower is compatible, which is not available on the App Store.
Iphoto 9.5 Download
If you could locate your original discs that came with your Mac, you could reinstall iPhoto from the second disc titled 'Applications Install DVD'.If your Mac came with an older OS than Snow Leopard and you upgraded after the fact it may not have included these applications to begin with (depending on how old).
Iphoto 9.6
You could try calling Apple. As of 2 years ago I know they were still able to replace this disc for you with an original for $15 upon request.
I am curious though... if you have a button that says 'Update' and not 'Download', barring any other weird glitches that usually means that the App Store is seeing the 'iPhoto.app' SOMEWHERE on your hard drive. Have you tried running a search to see if maybe it just accidentally got moved/dragged somewhere other than the Applications folder? (Like the Trash or another user's Desktop?)
