Photos Library won't open
#1 DON'T answer if you're gonna suggest the alt/command repair thing. That doesn't work when it won't open.
#2 DON'T answer if you're gonna suggest contacting apple support
#3 DON'T cut and paste another similar discussion thread here because that's not going to help....just perpetuate the endless apple circle of nothing answers.
Out of the blue the other day the photos library can't be opened. tried the "hold down alt/command to launch the repair"....that doesn't work. I get the same "...cant be opened error". So after a day I decided to go ahead and install the latest update (11.7.4). Im usually not a fan of updates....bought this used from an authorized Mac shop. It older....maybe a 2016 model. But the guy assured me it can handle a few updates. Anyhow....that didn't fix it. This is so unbelievable. I barely use this thing. Mostly for a few work emails, and I don't even have many photos on it ar all....fewer than fifty. Rather, I access albums Ive shared to the cloud via my iPhone. This thing is about to go under my car tire. Seriously.
