Opened iPhoto 9.6 in Yosemite 10.0 and had to update my library.  Updated but now I don't see my photos.  Trying not to panic.

Saying there are no photos in my library.  Should be over 13,000.  Went through update iPhoto requested upon start up.  Had a message box at beginning saying there was an issue with permissions which needs to be fixed.  Chose to fix and then update proceeded.  After a while iPhoto finished but if I click on Photos, Events, etc. in the library it is saying No photos in top right side of screen. 

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
