Click Install to install the latest version of iPhoto from the app store. ![]() So, if you want version 9.6.1 of iPhoto, you better grab it while you still can. ![]() However, these humble supplicants should not overlook the lesson: you never know how long the download window will remain open.

The "temporary" freeze-out appears to have ended. Well, the frustration is over, because today, as always, I clicked on iPhoto listing in the Updates tab of the App Store, and, to my surprise and delight, the upgrade to version 9.6.1 of iPhoto actually began to download! I just installed it on the Yosemite partition of my Mac Pro, and it launched just fine. I was among that group who tried, but failed, to download that final upgrade. When they tried to download the iPhoto update, all they would get was a cryptic message saying that the file was "temporarily unavailable." This frustration went on for about six months.

On the other hand, if you do add a title, then that is displayed instead. If the Add a Title field is left blank, then Photos will display the filename when viewing thumbnails. Just make sure that you have titles turned on so that either of these bits of information shows up (View > Metadata > Titles). (This used to be your only choice.)
