Photos app can't locate the file after Sequoia 15.1.1 update

Photos app can't locate the file after the Sequoia 15.1.1 update.


The window popped up, "Photos was unable to open the library “Photos Library2.photoslibrary”. (3145).


I tried to create a new library and still no luck. I wanted to repair it and still no luck. What do you suggest?

iMac 27″, macOS 15.1

Do you know where your Library is? The normal place is in the Pictures folder. It seems to be looking for a 2nd Pictures Library-- does that make sense? Maybe you really want the 1st one? When you find anything with a ".photoslibrary" extension, double click on it and see if that's what you want.


To see what Libraries Photos knows about, first try closing Photos and the option-clicking on the Photos icon. This is what I get

I have several libraries, and Photos even shows the path to each one.


Let us know if you find the Library that has your pictures. If you don't find it, let us know-- we have other ideas…
