    Sentences and paragraphs help other people understand what you're asking.

     

    If you get a box asking you to choose a library then you're not holding the command key as well as the option key when launching iPhoto.

     

    Are you referring to iPhoto Library Manager? That does not require a purchase to use the rebuild command.
