El Capitan 10.11.2 updated and inaccessible photo library

I've seen questions similar to this one, but none quite match. Photos worked El Capitan. But after the update to El Capitan 10.11.2, I can't pictures to locate the library system, although it is still visible in my pictures folder. (I have several bookstores, how I manage with PowerPhotos). I use an iMac late 2009.

When I opened the Photos, I get this message:

Sometimes this message at the same time:

I can't choose ', open ' because I can't do this active window or get the buttons to act; I have to select "Exit" in the window "unexpected error".

I tried to press the Option key when opening the pictures; same result.

Also, I've used my photo library system for my desktop and screen saver. After update, the office always displays photos of the library. In the system, under the screen saver preferences, the 'Source' menu does not include Photos. I tried to select "Choose a folder", then selecting different libraries of Photos, but it does not work. In desktop preferences, there is a similar lack of power to choose to use a library of Photos, but he continued to use the one I had chosen before the update.

As I said, I still see libraries in [user name] / photos. This includes the system library I was using before the update (and which is apparently still used for office). They all have a normal appearance in Finder, including update, size, showing as a number of GB, etc.. In PowerPhotos, however, the library system shows as having zero points. Other libraries appear as normal in PowerPhotos, but PowerPhotos does not seem to have a function allowing you to switch which deals with pictures of libraries such as the library system. Trying to open a library other that the library system in Photos, either by PowerPhotos or from the Finder, generates the same error messages above. (The same with trying to open the library system from the Finder).

I don't know what version of El Capitan I was running before the upgrade. I always installed updates to OS x I use as soon as the alert informs you that one was available.

Start in Safe Mode, Mac OS x: Safe Mode bootand try from there.  If you succeed, reboot normally and try again.

  • Why my EXIF data is not updated in my photo library?

    I'm putting an existing library about 15 k pictures and after import in the Photos app, I can see that the EXIF data for many of these images are incorrect.

    I've updated the EXIF data using a third party application called 'Pull the shifter' and the images but my photo library has been updated, and pictures taken in 2007 are displayed as having been taken in 2005.

    If I update the EXIF through the Photos, it works immediately so I'm guessing that there is a disparity between the library of Photos and real pictures?

    How can I update the library after external changes?

    You can not

    What are you doing exactly?

    You cannot make changes to the contents of the iPhoto library using pull the shifter or any other program except Photo - there is no user repairable in the photo library - once the pictures are imported in the Photos, you can only use Photos of them to change in any way - if the pictures cannot make the changes that you want to then you will need to make the changes before importing the phtos

    You can check the HoudahGeo - it could work within the iPhoto library - last I looked the pictures do not have the API they ned to do the same with the Photos, but it is possible as things hae advanced since I looked

  • ICloud - do they play well together and external Photos library system?

    Due to limited hard disk space, I need to move from a library of Photos 500 GB on a hard drive 3 TB mounted outside.

    If I name an external library as the library of the system, iCloud will recognize it there and add photos recently uploaded to the cloud?

    I formatted externally as MacOS extended journaled. and added to my backup process Time Machine (destination - 3 TB Time Capsule from Apple.)

    My goals are threefold:

    1. create and maintain space of hard drive on my iMac

    2 have a redundant backup of photos/videos of Photos

    3. to have access to these photos and videos for editing/design work, when you travel with MacbookPro.

    Any suggestion for a workflow, different and better appreciated. As well as recommendations for when my library reached the iCloud 1 TB limit.

    Now, my iPhone was crushed and expected the swap - so I need to get the photos/videos on my iMac so that I can save and unload an another 110 GB of media before the Exchange. (And I must improve my OSx).

    I recently updated my i5 Mac Mini with the new software system of El Capitan Mac (OSX 10.11). The computer no longer recognizes printer laser HP P1102 and wants to either "ignorant" or "eject" the usb connection.

  • ICloud and obsolete Photos.library

    I had lost the data of three days because of a problem with the update (10.11.6) and damaged the last time machine backup. If I had recovered from the oldest. Now I want to synchronize photos with iCloud where are the most recent. But when I opened iPhotos app it starts immediately to download the entire library stored on my mac to iCloud. Why? These photos are already on iCloud and there's more recent photos. It should not just download these photos which are in lack of mac? And does not remove this download new photos iCloud?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Photos will upload your library still frequently. Every time you have to compare the current local library for iCloud. It will download all the photos in your library, compare photos in iCloud, resolve the conflicts.  Once all potos miising upload, it will start ing to upload photos that are found only in iCloud.

    If you restore your library from a backup, move to another disk or repair library, or if the crash Photos, download again the pictures and you can't avoid it.  Try to avoid the reasons for the upload.

  • My iCloud storage said I have only 1.3 GB of available, but my backups phone says only that it uses 1.6 GB and my photo library using 1.2 GB and my mail read 176 MB iCloud. Why my available storage is a little more than 2 GB?

    Hi FunkyPanda007,

    I understand that you are concerned about your use of storage iCloud. I know it's important to make the most of the space available, so I'm happy to provide advice to help.

    It is important to note that some applications can use iCloud for synchronization of the data on your device as well. This is not reflected in the screen, you are on, which may explain the differences you see. You can see more info on your iCloud here storage utilization:

  • Export pictures Apple pictures and uninstall Photos Apple

    I'm not really sure what's going on, and I don't want to invest time to understand.

    I want to only use LightRoom to manage the photos and the Photos on my MacBook app gets in the way.

    The Photos app seems to have found something very old (perhaps from iPhoto five years ago) I want to keep for future exploration.

    Here's where I am so far:

    I copied both the iPhoto library old and new photo library on an external drive - which I'll support also up before going any further

    I disabled iCloud synchronize photos on my MacBook and iPhone

    I'm going to muck about with the Photos to see if I can export all in a place for more security.

    I'll go through all the photos of very old who migrated on my iPhone and get them away from here as long as I know that I have elsewhere (elsewhere are actually two).

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    I disabled iCloud synchronize photos on my MacBook and iPhone

    Did you use iCloud photo library with the option "optimize storage' enabled?  Then, it is essential to turn this option off and wait for all of your photos to upload to iCloud photo library, before disable you iCloud photo library, or your photos will be only in iCloud and not on your Mac.

    I'm going to muck about with the Photos to see if I can export all in a place for more security.

    To export your photos to select pictures of pictures in Photos and apply "file > export > Originals unmodified export" and select "export IPTC as XMP.   This way of that other applications can retrieve metadata from XMP sidecar files. It will save the totles, GPS; key words.

    To save your changes and export a second time, this time, the edited versions.

  • What is the relationship between the library of Photos and the iPhoto library?

    I'm asking this question here because I can't find all the relevant information online.

    I was dealing with imac a client recently who had a full boot drive. I noticed that his old iPhoto library used 126GB while she had already made the transition to the Photos. His photo library said that he was using a lot more (200 + if I remember correctly). I copied the iPhoto on an external drive library and deleted. Then, I opened the contents of the package and imported pictures remains in program pictures to make sure that I wasn't actually remove all of his memories. Once the work is finished, I was surprised to see that there are more than 6 GB of free space on his computer. What gives? Is there a relationship between the old iPhoto library and new photo library? If so, what is it? Is what I did without danger? I understand at the time that she will not be able to return to iPhoto. But what I'm missing?

    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    No - they are totally separate - connection or relationship of any kind is not

    or the other can be deleted without any effect on the other - but it won't save much space at all and is not recommended - which is exactly what you have seen- Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  • iPhoto and photo library on hard drive storage

    I'm trying to free up space on my HD, and I've got this huge 'other' file.  Further investigation, it seems that he might actually reflect my pictures on my computer, despite photos apparently only 12.42 GB of space.

    But then my pictures folder contains 80,21 GB of data.  So, the 'library of Photo migrated' iPhoto said he composed 24.96 GB.  And the photo library makes 53,11 Go.  Can I delete the iPhoto library (is it a duplicate because it was migrated?)

    Yes. But you claim back so much space that you think that both applications share the masters BLAH common to both pictures.

    Drag / drop photos to Pages ' 09 seems to be broken. Copy-paste works.

    Since I upgraded my Macbook Pro retina 2015 to 10.11.5 SMB transfer speeds to my Synology NAS are not go faster, then 25Mbit.

    When I use AFP I get 110Mbit speeds on my nas.

    A Mac Mini which has 10.11.4 and the SMB and AFP tested speeds are good 110Mbit.

    10.11.5 mac mini updated and I get speed via SMB 25Mbit!

    Looks like a bug in the release of El Capitan 10.11.5 SMB protocol

    Same thing here - very slow speeds to my NAS Qnap (SMB) (also the mentioned 25Mbit. Before 10.11.5 I had about 100 Mbit).
