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. As of 2 years ago I know they were still able to replace this disc for you with an original for $15 upon request. 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). Then select your iPhoto Library from the list and let Photos create a new library from it. Release the key, when the library chooser dialog appears. Pick the library you want to export and click Choose Library. If you’d like to see the library’s location in Finder, click Show in Finder. You’ll see the path to the Photos Library currently in use listed there. In Photos preferences, click the General tab, then look at the Library Location section. Launch Photos while holding down the options key. Hold down Option on your keyboard and open the Photos app. Open the Photos app, then click Photos > Preferences in the menu bar.

If you could locate your original discs that came with your Mac, you could reinstall iPhoto from the second disc titled "Applications Install DVD". You just need to let Photos open your iPhoto Library and create a Photos Library from your library.

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. 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). 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). Yes my settings are exactly like the screen shots. Then check your iCloud settings are as in the second screenshot. 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"). Is the button circled in the first screenshot greyed out.
