When I tried to open the iPhoto library with the newer Photos App, it wanted to upgrade the entire iPhoto library. Here’s how to access an individual photo from an old iPhoto library. If you go to your home directory, there is a folder called ‘Pictures’ where Apple stores all your photos. (To find your Home folder, begin in the Finder and choose Go → Home.) If the short name you use to log into Mac OS X is mozart, the full path to your iPhoto Library folder from the main hard drive window would be Macintosh HD → Users → mozart → Pictures → iPhoto Library. Thea studio. Actually, I have also an iPhoto Library, almost of the same size. But if I click on it I get the error: Cannot open migrated library. The content of the iPhoto library “iPhoto Library” has already been migrated to Photos. Open Photos to view your library or use a compatible version of iPhoto to open this iPhoto library. Select the iPhoto library you would like to restore, and click the Restore button. IPhoto may prompt you to repair your library if there are some inconsistencies in your files. If so, please allow it to proceed by clicking the Repair button. If you notice blank thumbnails, reopen iPhoto while holding down the Command and Option keys.

Reader Stephen Love writes in about uploading photos that are stored in Photos or iPhoto to websites. He knows he can navigate to a photos library—an OS X package that can be opened—and find media inside there. But he wants to be able to select images as they appear in Photos or iPhoto.

You should be able to use a media browser, sometimes labeled or described somewhat differently among various Apple software, desktop user interface, and third-party apps. In Pages and iMovie, there’s a labeled option to browser your main and alternate media library, including offering options for both iPhoto and Photos if you’ve retained libraries in both formats.

However, in any OS X app that lets you select a file for upload or editing—so long as it includes media formats—scroll down in the sidebar and you should find a Media section that lists Music, Photos, and Movies. Click Photos, and you’re further offered supported apps. I have one older app, my email client, that only shows iPhoto and Photo Booth. However, Firefox and Safari both also list Photos as an option.

Select the app type, and you’ll be able to drill down to years, moments, albums, collections, and other division depending library type. The nanny season 3 free.

One worthwhile note, though. If you’ve selected to optimize your Photos library when syncing with iCloud Photo Library (Photos > Preferences > iCloud, Optimize Mac Storage), Apple warns that you have to set up an album and force a download of all included media to make it reliably available.
