Ever since the update to OSX, iPhoto hasn't worked - I have just been presented with the message "Aperture library needs to be upgraded".
I believe it was the cleaner app which placed the iPhoto library in the Trash but from over 3 weeks ago I can't recall if that cleaning operation was before or after doing the OSX update - if I was to guess I would say I ran the cleaner app after the OSX update. If the cleaning was run before OSX update (and the iPhoto library was in Trash while the OSX update ran), perhaps this is the reason. What if I did a trial and placed the iPhoto library back in Trash (without emptying naturally) and then tested the operation of iPhoto and Photos? If the mapping for Photos (with its intelligent cross mapping with iPhoto) was established with the iPhoto library in Trash, that may account for the 'broken' front end to back end connection as the locations of the files in the mapping table is wrong? I have run the Repair Photos library as you've suggested here and it runs through to 100%. Still same status with no photos showing after that, old iPhoto events list still showing all greyed out.
