I can't open my Photos Library after iOS Sonoma 14 upgrade - I get phphotoserrordomain error 3111.
I had my Photos working fine before upgrade and post upgrade as soon as I open Photos I had the phphotoserrordo,main error 3111. Pre-upgrade I had a local Photos library that I had activated icloud on. I also did the repair which did nothing post error.
Tried to read the other links but they are very confusing and seem to assume that no local copy (icloud / external). This was not the case for me, I had a local copy and a copy in documents on icloud that I used to transfer from my old Mac to the new one (could have been move not copy). Now it seems when I search there is only the icloud copy (600gb) that I am not convinced is the one I had been using only the same day of the upgrade. of course wont let me open it as its not local anymore and also it has the cloud crossed out as per the other posts i read.
Dont understand why should have to copy the library back to my Mac when the reason I use the icloud is to not have the full images locally.
I opened an old (much smaller local test copy) photos library and it opens fine.
How do I get my Photos working with my icloud library?
Thanks, Phil (very frustrated Mac user)
