Photos does not work in El Capitan

I recently replaced with El Capitan Yosemite on my Mac Mini last 2014. Everything worked well after the original download, including Photos. Then I closed the computer and went to bed. When I started again this morning, the system does not start, and I had to use recovery mode to reinstall El Capitan. 13 hours later (for some reason that the software took so long to download) the system works again - but not photos. Unlike other Photos post-EC problems, I get no message, just a bar with almost all the options greyed out. One of the few non-grisé options is under the tab 'windows', where, by selecting 'Photos', I get a white box. And that's all. I tried to start clicking on both of my two libraries - nothing. I tried from Photos with the option key - touch nothing. I tried from Photos with maintained command - nothing. All my photos, apart from those of Photostream, stored locally; I have all my pictures on iCloud, and nor do I want to. I'm sure that they are all there, because the library of the main image shows 36 concerts and everything is backed up, but I don't know how to access. Any help much appreciated.

All my photos, apart from those of Photostream, stored locally;

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

I tried from Photos with the option key - touch nothing. I tried from Photos with maintained command - nothing.

try to find out if the problem is system-wide or only happens in your user account.

Can you launch Photos, if you connect from a different user account, for example the guest user? (see this help page: isolate a problem by using another user account)

  • If Photos does not even from another user account, your relocation was unlikely.  Try to reinstall again with a stable network connection.
  • If pictures work well from another user account, delete the preference files in your Home folder.

Remove these items from your user library in your folder:

  • Delete complete files - if they are there-

    ~/Library/containers/com. Apple.photolibraryd /.
    ~ / Library/Containers/com.apple.Photos/.

Log and turn it back on. The files will be recreated when you try to launch again the Photos. But don't try without a current backup of your system!

Your user library can still be hidden. To reveal the hidden user library:

  • Bring the Finder to the front by clicking on the desktop or the Finder icon in the Dock.
  • Select your folder user/home (with the House icon in the side bar of the Finder)
  • With this window in the Finder in the front window, press the ⌘J key combination to bring up the display options.
  • In the view options panel allow you to "show the library folder. That will make your visible user library folder in your folder.
  • Open your folder, then the library folder, then the containers.
  • Move the entire folder ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Photos/ on your desktop. Move the entire folder, not just the content.
  • Delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Photos.plist Similarly, if it exists.

Restart the mac, after you have deleted the items, then try opening your photo library and see if pictures will now launch properly.

  • The CD/DVD does not work with El Capitan 10.11.5 on Macbook Pro

    Hello everyone, I spent the time to research on the here and the other site on why the CD/DVD does not work with El Capitan 10.11.5 on MacBook Pro mid 2009. This discussion forum has said that he will not work with the El Capitan software. Any idea or suggestion? Back to Marverick or Yosemite? I tried to use SMC reset, restart, recovery and still the same issue.

    I thank in advance.

    ~ Mike

    I have my doubts that the (10.11.5) software is the problem.  Are you sure that the DVD player is simply not defective?  Have you tried to clean the lens?  What is the State of the disc?

    Your best option may be a date at a bar in engineering of the Apple store for a FREE evaluation.

  • photos does not work

    I have a 16 000 images large iPhoto library stored on my hard drive. When trying to convert to photos he stalls on 50% no matter how many times or days, I waited. I tried to repair the library, and when I do, I get to 8% with an error message that the library is not recognized. I can't open iPhoto more because I've updated to El Capitan, and he no longer recognizes iPhoto. So in short, I can't access my photos all and any effort to repair did not work. I also did a repair disk in recovery mode and it made no difference. Help, please

    It's on an external drive? If so is what format?

    If you change the suffix of file on the library of .photoslibrary of migratedphotslibrary you will be able to open with iPhoto.

    Option 1

    Save and try to rebuild the library: press command and option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. The dialog that allows you to rebuild. Choose to repair the database. If this does not help, then try again, this time to help to rebuild the database.

    If this does not work:

    Option 2

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its function of reconstruction. (In early versions of the Library Manager, this is the file-> command Rebuild.) In versions later it is under the menu library.)

    This will create a completely new library. It will then copy (or try) your photos and all associated metadata and versions to this library and as close as possible to what you had in the damaged library fix it. It does this based on the information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but it means that things not shared won't be there, so no slide shows, books or calendars, for example - but it should recover all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places.

    Because this process creates a completely new library and does not change your old, it is non-destructive, and if you are not satisfied with the result, you can simply go back to your old.

  • Quick Time Player does not work in El Capitan

    Now Quick Time Player does not work properly.  When I click to use it, the only thing it allows me to do is 'click to drag', while he was recording a screen, buttons disappear and the only way I can stop the recording is to go to the menu screen and exit the Quick Time Player.  So annoying!

    It also is not allowing me to change.  When I try to edit my videos and then save it, it says that it cannot save the file.

    None of this makes no sense at all.

    If you simply want to watch as download you them from your camera, you can simply use the default built in app Preview. He opens them - that is what I use before deciding that one has need of some 'creative' changes or anything, and then drop them into my own folder of Photos (in my documents) that I created when I decided that I did not care to iPhoto or Photos.

  • PDF Print Plugins does not work in El Capitan

    I have long used automator to create a plugin to print pdf, as shown on the attached screenshot.  Stocks that renaming a file, create a pdf file and then automatically rename the file, at least in part and save it.  Since the upgrade to El Capitan, the process seems to work, but the files are not created.  I had the same problem 'Open with PDF Pen Pro' and with the removal of various files and reinstall was able to do this job, but I guess that other systems use overview and it does not work and I don't know if an extract can be reinstalled.

    Anyone facing similar challenges?

    A process Automator will not necessarily work on a version of Mac OS X later than that in which they were created. Try to re-create the workflow from scratch.

    Thank you.

    Yes - I found a post on the HP website - "HP can't stand this product."

    This is unfortunate, because I just bought the machine two days ago.  If you are indeed working with where to HP, you can hire a query regarding WHY they sell products that you will not endure.  Needless to say, it will come. Also needless to say, when I looked for a replacement, I don't even consider another HP product.   Who knows if those who are still in charge, even if they are sitting on the shelves in stores.

  • Mail.app encryption does not work in El Capitan

    I've been encryption of e-mails between colleagues and had years of this work on all OS x versions and it still works on the iPhone.

    However, I bought a new 12 "and did a fresh install and now cannot operate on El Capitan.

    My certificate is in Keychain Access and I can sign your emails. I have my colleague certificate in the keychain (save his email signature). My colleague can sign and encrypt and I can read.

    However, I don't have an option to encrypt when sending to my colleague. It's like Mail.app does not recognize his email:

    In addition, the icons showing the encryption itself do not work properly. For example:

    It is a real cipher of my colleague for me (can not read in web app). However, it shows no encrypted anywhere icon.

    Someone else has problems with encryption on El Capitan?

    First of all, after you install an S/MIME certificate, is you leave and then to restart the mail to make it available.

    The address associated with the S/MIME public key must exactly match the address you are trying to send the encrypted message, or from which you are trying to send a signed message. If the message is signed and encrypted, both addresses must match. Matching is case-sensitive: "[email protected]" does not match "[email protected]".

    The signature or encryption certificates must be valid: not expired, revoked, self-signed, or signed by an unknown CA. You can check the status of the certificate in Keychain Access.
