Q: I-photo Library Corrupt
Hello there,
I am very new to the apple community forum. I have tried looking at the advice on previous threads but none of them seem to work. Basically I had 2 i-photo libraries. One I have managed to get my photos from and the other stated it was too old. I tried the i-photo upgrader app but it would not let me click on the required photo library file. I then tried the i-photo manager app but when it imported it told me I had over 1600 photos but all of them were corrupt and could not be displayed. This is the message I get when I click on the file.
OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

Which version of iPhoto created the library? You need to run iPhoto Library upgrader, if the iPhoto library has been last opened by iPhoto 7.1.2 or an even older version. Then you need iPhoto Library upgrader to prepare the library.
Where is the library stored, that you cannot open? is it in your Pictures folder or on an external drive?
The screenshot you posted looks like you were trying to import the iPhoto Library.
To access the library, open it in iPhoto, do not import it. Launch iPhoto while holding down the options key and then select the library from the library chooser panel.
