I've demoted from El Capitan in Yosemite because of Photos of freezing. My photo library is now useless. Help, please!

I've recently upgraded to El Capitan, and absolutely not regret it. I was able to access my photos, but any time I chose videos, panoramic, etc.. Pictures would freeze. My photo library is stored on an external drive, because my library is too large to fit on my laptop. I even went out and bought a new way of thinking of external drive, it was a problem with the lack of an update of El Capitan software compatible for the reader. But now, I see that this is probably not the case.

So I went down to Yosemite and now I have this message: library not supported. The 'My Photos' library from a newer version of Photos. Please update the Photos to open this library.

It's maddening! I upgraded to El Capitan, thinking they had the bugs developed here. But the pictures kept freezing and I had to force quit whenever I used the application. I want to just go back to what worked before. But Apple won't let me.

I tried to fix this for days now. Someone had a similar problem? Have you been able to "downgrade" your photo library?

I appreciate all the advice. I'm ready to give up the pictures after getting my library. I really think that I would be better to download my phone by Preview and any filing manually in the files on my external hard drive. Over the years, problems of iPhoto/Photos took weeks of my life. I'm exhausted.

Before you upgrade to El Capitan, you should have a copy of your photo library. There is nothing you can do now, but go back to El Capitan. Photos in El Capitan should do even better than in Yosemite. I think that you updated a dysfunctional Yosemite, but since you have reinstalled it maybe, again, you should try El Capitan. This time you can try to install El Capitan on another partition of your startup disk if you have enough space to do so. If this isn't the case, then install it on a separate disk. Now, if you have any problems, it will be easy to return to Yosemite. In addition, you can see that El Capitan work best when it is installed properly.

  • Problem copying from inside to the external usb HDD, error 0 x 80070057 the parameter is incorrect. Help please

    I am trying to copy a file from my hard drive internal sata to USB external hard drive when I get the error code: error 0 x 80070057 the parameter is incorrect.

    Windows 7 Ultimate. SP1, all updates applied until 01/06/2013. It is the first time for many years that I was puzzled. Help

    Hey, thanks for the back. But I found that Windows has nothing to do with the problem. Recently I had upgraded to Acronis 2013 and used it to make several copies of my C drive for a total rebuild.

    I decided to move these files to my drive to free up space on my internal hard drive, external usb drive. That's when the trouble started. The four files, I moved only gave problems.

    Still scratching my head on this subject. Auto car, supposed to Acronis TIH2013 must be at fault. So I uninstalled with REVO Uninstaller ATIH2013, to a maximum depth of scan. Then downloaded and installed a new copy of the ATIH2013, made a new image to replace the one which gave the trouble.

    Problem solved!

    The first download of Acronis must have had a bug in the download, the second seems to be clean and working properly.

    Anyway, thanks for the help. I'll keep it in mind in case I ever encounter this problem again.

    Elements consists of two separate but closely linked programs: the editor, where you work on your photos, and the Organizer, allowing you to organize them. You are looking in the editor. The Organizer, click the Organizer button in the start screen or at the bottom of the editor.

    Now, you want to keep your photos in iphoto or organizer? It's a choice you need to do, sooner or later. The Organizer includes an EEG of photos by > command iphoto, but who's going to copy all the photos in your iphoto library to a new location and organizing data bases do for copies. Is that what you want to do, or want to you use iphoto to organize your photos, in which case you would not use the PSE Organizer?

  • Cannot repair the photo library. The best way to restore from iCloud library?

    The photo library of the system is damaged and cannot be repaired.

    It is said "Photos has attempted to repair the library"Pictures Library 2015 ", but can not open it." .


    I first met problems with this library a week before and at the time where I could repair and open the library successfully, but lacked a month value of photos.

    Given that it was successfully in the iCloud library, I left it to re - sync - but this process suspended several times before the end, and the photo library of the system now seems to be permanently damaged.

    I have no project of marked or impression of faces in the photo library of the system, then I would be happy just to restore from iCloud.

    My plan is to put in place a new - empty - library and then that designate the library of the system.

    If I understand this right, the new (empty) system Photo library will now resynchronize with iCloud and will copy all the contents of this library of back to my Mac.

    Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

    And while I'm here - what is the best way to manage a very large library? I had my photo library become corrupted ten three or four times over the past years and have found it necessary to divide into single years to prevent this. I overlooked this piece of household by the end of 2015, and now it's happened again... Surely, there must be an easier way to manage libraries of images of several years?

    Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

    Yes, if you don't have a useful upward on your Mac.

    How do you call a large library, I've never had a corrupt Library, I think that your problems are not the result of the size of the library, but rather something else. From my experience it is recommended to maintain a local upward, I use Time machine, but also have a second to the top using a third-party backup solution.

  • Upgrade to El Capitan in Yosemite

    I have a fairly new MacBook Pro running Yosemite. I was going to upgrade to El Capitan, but now he me Sierra offers instead. I don't want to do because of the risk that £500 dollars worth of software (File Maker Pro 11, final draft 8, Office 2011) will stop working.

    My office is running El Cap, and applications above all work fine.

    In my view, there is the ease of upgrade to El Cap, but he seems to be reserved for people running older versions. Do you think I can upgrade using this path? Or everything will go horribly wrong?

    Thank you

    The problems you read here are analogous to sick people go to the emergency room.  Of course, you won't see a lot of healthy people who wander.  I would say that 90% of people who bring problems/complaints/questions here get resolved when they remove third-party applications useless, outdated, incompatible or swollen from their hard drives.  Sometimes they solved by removing the malware/adware software from their hard drives.  It really depends what is unique to their computer, and we have a couple of tools at our disposal that allow us to see what it is.

    If you want to upgrade, and your computer can accept the upgrade and you have backed up your system in case where, go ahead.  Make sure that all your applications/drivers are updated to be compatible, otherwise you will need to remove or uninstall first.  If you don't want to upgrade because the Mavericks works very well for you, wonderful!  You don't have to.  Stick with what works for you as long as you want.
