Hi Peter, I might have to take this ‘Offlist’ as I’m not too sure if you are giving me the correct information. Check what I’ve mentioned below and reply to the list please.
I’ll send you a document ‘Offlist’ showing screenshots of my iPhoto Libraries BEFORE & AFTER Update/transition to Photos. And the Option Key open Photos App to ‘Choose Library’ FYI iPhoto Libraries before & After transition to Photos Libraries.pdf > On 15 May 2015, at 5:53 pm, Peter Crisp <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Ronni, I am back home now so feedback now is first-hand off my wife's MBP. > Responses to questions inserted below. > > Regards > > Pete. > > >> On 5 May 2015, at 4:44 pm, Ronni Brown <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> Hi Peter, >> >> Just to clarify a few things before I suggest anything else. >> >> On your wife’s MBP - In her Pictures Folder there is NOT a “iPhoto >> Library.photolibrary” Or "iPhoto Library”? >> In the Pictures folder there is an iPhoto.photolibrary of size 291.94GB Are you SURE iPhoto.photolibrary is correct - or is it iPhoto Library.photolibrary of size 291.94GB >> and there is a Photos Library.photoslibrary of size 292.84GB.

Are you SURE - or are they named Photos Library.photoslibrary and iPhoto Library.photolibrary If they are named as I mention above- that is correct… that is what you should see! Select 'Photos Library.photoslibrary' and click Choose Library The file sizes on the two Libraries indicate the update/transition has completed - you should be able to select ‘Photos Library.photoslibrary’ to open Photos with all your previous iPhoto photos & albums etc. I’ll send you the document in another email to you ‘Offlist’, but please post back to the list otherwise it is a consult fee. This has taken a lot of time trying to send & receive information through a third party is always difficult. Cheers, Ronni >> What shows there? Also what shows there if you click “Other Library”?
