Got a new iMac, cannot open my library

Hey there, my old iMac 2011 crashed (Yosemite running), and I was back up with a Time Capsule. Bought an iMac brand and transfer all the files. Everything is there, except the Photos. When I try to open it, I get this error message repeatedly:

This happens even when I hold down the 'Option' at the opening of the Photos and then click "Choose Library". I was on the phone with Apple Care for hours yesterday... no progress... I restored the photo library of the 2 previous backups on my Time Capsule and still have the same question.

I also get this message when I simply click on 'Photos' to open:

I kept a copy of the photo library in there, so I would have two choice... but when I followed the instructions here, I can't choose 'Preferences' to define whatever it is by the photo library of the system.

The library is about 17 GB. It seems that the library is corrupt, but it won't let me 'Fix' when I hold down the Option/command.

ANY ideas would be helpful! Thanks in advance, Carol

The library is about 17 GB. It seems that the library is corrupt, but it won't let me 'Fix' when I hold down the Option/command.

Where your photo library is stored? It's on an external drive or in the folder images?

If it's on an external drive, which is the file system on the disk?

How did restore the library of Time Machine? Do you have Time Machine restore t library?

I also get this message when I simply click on 'Photos' to open:

Have you tried to double click to open the pictures on it, the photo library? If this is not the case, try to repair the library while pressing the command-option key combination and double click on the library you want to repair, not on the Photos icon.

  • Cannot open my library iPhotos in photos

    I got my photos on a MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8. I had iPhoto ' 08, 7.1.5.

    I moved the library to my new computer, a Mac mini 10.10.5, with a processor clocked at 2.6 Ghz Intel Core i5 OS. There pictures 1.0.1

    The move succeeded. I see that the file and all 49 GBs are there. I can even access it from my Facebook account to publish photos on Facebook. However, Photos not open it. I applied iPhoto Library of valuation, by following the instructions. I tried now hold the Option key pressed when opening pictures, but the library migrated is grayed out and I can't open it. When I try dragging the album on the Photos icon to open it, I get this error message:

    "Cannot open the migrated library. The content of the 'IPhotoLibrary.migratedphotolibrary' iPhoto library has already migrated to the Photos. Open the Photos to display your library or use a compatible version of iPhoto to open the iPhoto library. "

    I can open other libraries in Photos, but not the migrated.

    Hope someone can help me with this. Thank you.

  • Cannot open the library - 'Photos' obsolete?

    Hello!

    For a few weeks, I have been unable to open my library Photos... States of photos that the library was created by a newer version of Photos, and that I do need to update 'Photos' a newer version.

    I use Yosemite version 10.10.5 (fully up-to-date as I write this), and my version 1.0.1 (215.65.0) pictures.

    I have no updates pending in 'App Store'.

    I'm not sure if my fiancee uses el captain or not on his cell phone, and she could have updated the library... But; I think that 'photos' to Yosemite and 'photos' to El captain are the same software, and this should not be a problem?

    But; I think that 'photos' to Yosemite and 'photos' to El captain are the same software.

    It is not the case. The latest version will update the library and the earlier version will not open it.

    Hello Nikola,

    Could you please put the code you are using, and the exact error you get. In addition, please check the env variables, as CLASSPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and etc. here (java.sql.SQLException: problems with the native/lack of loading methods library )

    Also "verify that the entry in the tnsnames.ora file is associated with a DSN TimesTen or service_name in the simple connection string is set to a DSN TimesTen." (http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/timesten/odpnet/readme.htm)

    I forgot my password iam unable to open a session now and in my system, there is that no other administrator accounts are available. How to connect

    As you go now, having a spare admin account is a very practical thing - if you think of it in advance. Fortunately, there are many other options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

  • best way to put in place a new iMac with saved files?

    Hi all

    I'm new here so please forgive me if I've done something wrong. Just recently got a new iMac and wanted to get all my software work of music and other files installed. I used the Migration Assistant on the iMac to move files from a recent time Machine to the top of my Macbook Pro. After what seemed to be a successful migration, I noticed that Garageband, iMovie and a few other products Apple should be updated. My new iMac has been updated the newer versions until the migration wizard has been used. My questions are, it's best to go on a new set up, and never has that somehow restored my new machine settings to the previous settings of the Macbook Pro? Would it have changed anything wise speed or image and sound quality wise? of resolution, depth of bit or similar?

    Thanks in advance for any help or answers.
