Downloaded new software version OS Catalina 10.15.3 cannot open iphoto? It looks like the new 64 bit does not work with old iphoto, says to reachout to developer? Isn't that apple? Help?
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.13
iPhoto was discontinued more than 4 years ago. It is no longer developed or sold. It was replaced by the more powerful (and free) Photos.app that comes with the OS. You can migrate to that app very simply:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch Photos. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and point at your iPhoto Library. It will do the rest.
If you prefer not to use Photos there are several 3rd party apps that you can use. Which to choose depends on the kind of photographer you are and your budget.
Reread this piece again...
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch Photos...
I tried using option key and tried opening iPhoto but the application will not open, it has a circle w/line indication on it. It gives same message as before. Thanks
That instruction is for Photos, not iPhoto, and is only needed if it doesn't automatically import the iPhoto library.
Photos will be in the Applications folder and the Dock.
