Could not open the Photos after Snow Leopard update to El Capitan

I have an iMac 3.06 GHz, which has been updated to El Capitan on January 15. Most of the things were going well with the transition, but it seems to be "stuck" now between iPhoto and photo - I don't know how else to put it, but I can't open the Photos. When I click on it in the Dock, I get the attached screenshot. It has been like that for several years I did the update to El Capitan. At first, it seemed that iPhoto has been migrated correctly to Photos during the update. But then, after clicking on my backup external to iPhoto, it appeared that if the migration process began all over again.  I now have the image shown on the attached screenshot. He's been stuck on '50% complete' for several days. When I try to stop the Photos I get: "Can't leave the Photos when creating or opening a library."

After doing some checks for similar problems in previous posts, I was clued in to take a look at my Applications folder. And here, it lists the following multiple iPhoto libraries:

iPhoto Library... January 15, 2016 (Date last opened)

iPhoto Library - old... January 15, 2016.

iPhoto Library - old... January 29, 2016.

iPhoto Library - old... November 26, 2015.

iPhoto Library... November 25, 2016.

Clearly - even for me! -something is all fucked up here

There is no attached screenshots - to attach a picture click on the camera icon in the top bar of the new message window

What format is the external hard drive? Is this a Time Machine backup or EHD are used by TM? How the EHD are connected to your Mac?

And you should not have iPhoto (or pictures) libraries in your applications folder - they should be in your pictures folder

One thing to try is force quit Photos (File menu ==> force quit), and then drag the iPhoto library you want to migrate the Photos icon in the Dock (if it is in an appropriate place on an appropriate disk)

  • Could not open the photos

    I just tried to open the application 'Photos' (or icon) on my Mac and received a message that says "Photos could not find the system 'photos library.photoslibrary' how can I do to recover it?  I have about 10,000 photos which are lost!   I run a separate hard disk as a time machine which is connected permanently, but I've never had to use it before.  Any help would be appreciated.   Mike George

    What happened, until you got this error message?  Did you update or upgrade software?  Move your photo library to another drive?  You run applications of cleaning?

    By default, your photo library should be called Photos Library.photoslibrary and be in your pictures in your folder folder, unless you have moved elsewhere.  Check your pictures folder, if the library is still there.

    If you have kept the library on an external drive, make sure that the disc is mounted and connected locally, not a network drive.  Photos cannot open a library on a hard disk that is used by time Machine.

    What version of Mac OS X and Photos do you currently use?

  • Could not open the film after completing

    Seems, I am not alone, but I don't see a convincing solution yet, so I write the question.  I finished the editing of a film and inserting the titration overall.  iMovie has crashed a few times, but the project was intact at the opening.  When you are finished, I clicked on "Finalize project" and left the computer alone for a few hours.  He said it would take three hours, but after about two saw that the status bar was no longer visible, and the app was always open to my movie, so I thought everything was fine and closed my MacBook Pro.  Now, back to search, I find the project file, but no evidence of my finished movie.  I see other projects of film that I can open and play, but only the first sequences of the film I just did.  It shows that the project is 5 + gigs, but I don't know if it simply means that all the raw images is 5G or if it's that big because all my titles is there somewhere (I hope).

    Never mind.  If you make the menu drop-down 'open with', you will see a selection of watch "content of the package."  There you will find your recorded several times, all renowned movie with generic codes relating to the size with extensions .mov and MP4 files.  Renamed completely.  Not useful.  No rational.

  • Could not open the PC After Effects CS6 v. Mac created AE comp version 13 11.04.2?

    I can't open a Mac created v.13 model of EI using my PC AE CS6 v 11.  No work around?  It has been saved for PC use.

    OS is irrelevant. You need to be saved in version 11 of AE.

    This means that someone needs to open in 2014 CC (version 13) and choose Save as CC (version 12). Then someone needs to open in CC (version 12) and choose to save it as CS6 (version 11).

  • Satellite U405 - S2833 Fingerprint error: could not open the sensor

    Hello, I am very new to the forums so I apologize in advance if I don't give all the necessary accurate information in this thread.

    I have a Toshiba U405-S2833 and it came with the TrueSuite Access Fingerprint Software.

    I downloaded an update a few days ago, but I don't remember if it's for Vista or Toshiba. Since then, my fingerprints were all removed from the system, and when I try re - save, I get this error message "error: could not open the sensor" I can't find the material to fix the sensor manually without going through the TrueSuite software.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    I am also having the same problem.

    My boss uses a Satellite U405-2628 fingerprinting and with the sensor TrueSuite Access Manager. It worked fine, then I updated windows and it has stopped working. I was on the updates and noticed an update of TrueSuite and thought that maybe that was messed up things.

    Then there were other issues that went past me locked out of the machine (anti-virus and loss of relationship with the field... also my fault). So I decided to wipe the machine and install fresh Vista.

    I installed everything but the TrueSuite software still not able to open the sensor. After hitting my head on it, I decided enough was enough and I restored it using Toshiba recovery disks.

    It took a few hours and here I am logged in as administrator and the TrueSuite software still cannot open the sensor. I don't know what I can do, since it is to return to the factory settings.

    As the above poster said, HELP!

    Thank you.

    ... a little later...

    Well, I managed to do work, and this can be useful for some people out there since I found no easy answers. I can't guarantee anything, and it's really complicated... so here go us.

    First, I downloaded the latest update from Toshiba (util_fingerprint_27460A.exe) and nothing has worked.
    Then I uninstalled the sensor since (click right, uninstalled) Device Manager to uninstall the driver as well (it should invite you to do so)
    Then, still in the Device Manager, I scanned for new hardware and it came with my sensor. I said to look for drivers and when he could not find, I think it gave me an option for windows search for an answer... or something like that. He came back with a link to Authentec (www.authentec.com/win7update/w7wbf32.exe, I think). So I downloaded that and installed. He rose through the device under "Biometric devices" then before... I think it's under the "Personall security device" or something like that. But alas, still no luck. So I uninstalled all the device from the Device Manager (taking care of uninstalling the driver as well) and of the TrueSuite software. Then came the break I was looking for.

    Online research I came across this page... http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?action=download&driverid=1194755. I had the chance before to DriverGuide.com so I thought what the heck. It is a driver of HP for the same sensor and it is dated 2006. So I downloaded and installed. Still nothing...

    Disgusted, I thought, well let's try to install util_fingerprint_27460A.exe on top of that. So I did, restarted and I couldn't believe my eyes when he said to connect and register fingerprints not seriously. And so I did. I hope this helps people, I don't really know how the sensor I so messed up, but I'm glad it worked.

    Yet one thing... and this may be important. When I took TrueSuite first after doing all this, he told me that the storage of fingerprints was full... or something in that sense. So I clicked the button remove all traces of fingers button and it I would like to register my fingerprints. I'm starting to wonder if that was all I had to do in the first place... Guess I'll never know.

    Good luck.

    onfig file error cannot open file row 0 column 0 - whenever I try to open my hp game console... I get this error message...

    Hello

    Was the HP works well before game console? If Yes, then do you remember any hardware/software changes, after which the problem started?

    Method 1: I would say you put the computer to boot and then check if the problem is caused by any third-party application.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2: I would say as you uninstall and reinstall the HP game console and check to see if it helps:

    Uninstall or change a program

  • XmlDataModel could not open the file

    Hello

    I can't seem to understand how to fix this (attention: XmlDataModel could not open the file "... /..") /.. (' / data / model.xml ').

    what I have is the following,

    generate an XML file using the QXmlStreamWriter and after you have created the file (confirmed that the file exist) create a new XmlDataModel

    // modelfile is define in the h file like QFile *modelfile;
    
    modelfile = new QFile("data/model.xml");
    
    QXmlStreamWriter* xmlWriter = new QXmlStreamWriter();
    xmlWriter->setDevice(modelfile);
    
    // do the xml write stuff
    
    modelfile->flush();
    modelfile->close();
    
    XmlDataModel *dataModel = new XmlDataModel();dataModel->setSource(QUrl("../../../data/model.xml"));//dataModel->setSource(QUrl("modelx.xml")); << file in the asset folder to check if this works ( and this works )listview->setDataModel(dataModel);
    

    THX,

    Found the solution:

    dataModel-> setSource (QUrl::fromLocalFile(QDir::homePath() + "model.xml"));
