Jun 24, 2016 6:28 AM in response to sigettyby léonie,The iPhoto Library upgrader will check the version of the library anyway. You need only to run the upgrader of your library has been created by iPhoto 7.1.2 or an older version.
Did you open the iPhoto Library in your current version if iPhoto?
Then look for the iPhoto version number below the iPhoto icon in the Finder:
Otherwise, the version of the library is encoded in the database files in the iPhoto Library.
Select your iPhoto Library in the Finder, then ctrl-click it, use the command "Show Package Contents".
Look for a file "Info.plist".
If you open this file in a Text Editor or Xcode, you will see code like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key>
<string>iPhoto Library 9.6.1</string>
<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>9.6.1</string>
</dict>
</plist>
The last string, highlighted here in red is the version number.
Be careful when you open the package. Don't modify or delete anything.
