It is still possible for most Macs to get the latest version of iPhoto, but it now requires jumping through some hoops. Normally, it would be a simple matter of updating your version of iPhoto via the Mac App Store, but since Apple’s release of their new Photos app, iPhoto is now no longer available on the app store, which makes it impossible to directly update older versions of iPhoto. If this is the case, then trying to open libraries or perform other operations with iPhoto Library Manager will likely result in an error message saying that the installed version of iPhoto is not compatible. Certain versions of OS X enforce a minimum version of iPhoto that must be installed, and will refuse to run older versions.
