The machine is running Yosemite and Photos.
The original database was created on Iphoto but since Photos upgrade most of my pictures are showing as a square.
I have tried to repair the database by holding command + option keys however I can't restore the images.
Can anyone advise please?
Thanks.

Backup of your iPhoto library before you try this:
Hold down the option and command keys then at the same time double-click the iPhoto icon.
From the window that will pop up use the rebuild all thumbnails option.

I am using PHOTOS not Iphoto. Your advice is for Iphoto.

"I am using PHOTOS not Iphoto. Your advice is for Iphoto."
The repair is similar, but the steps may differ...
iPhoto is supposed to be in your Applications folder, just the dock icon was removed and replaced with Photos. Maybe try opening iPhoto with repair in mind?

I can not reopen Iphoto or download it again. The OS X is Yosemite, please advise otherwise.

Photos appeared in OSX Yosemite update 10.10.3 if the update was applied to 10.10.2 - people have reported that iPhoto is still in the Applications Folder. Not true?
Hold down the option and command keys then at the same time double-click the iPhoto icon.
