Hello! I can't open iphoto anymore. I think I still have some old photos in there, but I can't check... Why can't i open it (it is a "no entry" sign, 🚫) and could it still be pictures there? Can I ever open it og can I just delete it because it takes a lot of space on my mac...
MacBook
It sounds like you just updated to Catalina or Big Sur. iPhoto no longer runs on those OS' because they are 64 bit only.
You can use Photos - iPhoto's replacement - with your iPhoto Library. Launch Photos with the option key held down. from the resulting dialog, choose your iPhoto Library. Photos will create a new library from your iPhoto media. Your iPhoto Library will not be changed, though it will be renamed.
You can certainly trash the iPhoto application, though it does not take up much space. Once you have converted the iPhoto Library to Photos, and you have verified that your images are in the new library, you can remove your iPhoto Library.

Quit Photos and then hold down the option key (On english keyboards it is the opt key second to the left from the space bar, on the other side of the command key) and click the Photos icon. Keep holding the key until a library chooser dialog pops up.
Thank you for your answer! I am not sure if I do it the right way. Is it like this? On English it says: Options, show all windows, hide and finish.
