with the updating of my iMac I can no longer open my iPhoto file. Does anyone know how to retrieve those photos?

Photos replaced iPhoto years ago. Launch Photos with the option key held down. From the resulting dialog, choose your iPhoto Library. Photos will create a new library with your iPhoto media. Your iPhoto library will not be changed, though it will be renamed.
