When I start Photos 1.3 nothing happens.

The Photos 1.3 app opens quickly, and I don't get a menu bar.  But it is not a window of Photos, or do anything else.

Holding Option to try to open a library replacement does not work - and I use this option frequently... it works normally.

Option + command to rebuild a library (which I've never tried it before) to hold anything also.

I tried to restore an older version of pictures of Time Machine, but I get the error "Pictures is required for OS X, so cannot be changed in any way.".

A scary and unsatisfying error.

I'm sitting here dead end on what to do to get all my photos now.  I have three large comprehensive libraries and apparently no way to move forward.

When pictures is launched, it seeks the old iPhoto Library, then begins the long process of migration the new photo library images. Since you said that you have iPhotos several libraries, I guess that Photos have not moved anything and just create an empty library file.

Please check your users > your name > images folder. If you see a .photoslibrary file, move it to the trash (do not drain immediately). Now the Option Launch Photos and select the library that you want to migrate from iPhoto. Migration is a very slow process - give it time.

Be aware that Photos cannot merge several libraries. Several libraries are problematic if you plan to use iCloud photo library functionality and are therefore referenced libraries.
