Photo quit Unexpectedly
I'm using Mac OS Mojave 10.14.3 and it automatically updated iPhoto to Photos. I just upgraded from 10.5.?. Upon launch, Photos says "Preparing Library." It gets to (4% complete) and then "Photos quit unexpectedly." I've tried 3 times and the same failure occurs.
The original iPhoto library is big 900GB and I only have 61GB free on the hard drive. Is photo trying to make a duplicate copy and therefore running out of space?
I made a backup copy of the whole system to an external drive before I started the OS upgrade. So I have the iPhoto library on the external hard drive also. I have 1.5TB of free space on the external hard drive. So I may be able to convert the library on the external drive.
What is the best option to get Photos working??
Mac mini 2018 or later
