How find old photo book data?
Multiple issues:
I have an old MBP (2008, running 10.6.8), an iMac (2011, running ML), and a new MacBook Pro (2012, running ML). I originally worked on a photo book through iPhoto on the old MBP, but it was slow so I wanted to start doing all of my photo stuff on the iMac. I turned sharing on and was able to access my iPhoto library, however, it said I needed to upgrade my iPhoto library. I said yes, go ahead and do the upgrade on the iMac, but then it said it couldn't complete it because some of the files had errors. I went through the same process on my new MBP and was able to upgrade the iPhoto library on the old MBP no problem. Now, I can access the iPhoto library on my new MBP, but not on my iMac (issue #1). However, I wanted to reprint the photo book I had created before and I cannot find it when I open the iPhoto library on my new MPB (issue #2).
(Issue #1): When I try to open the iPhoto library on the iMac, it says the library is locked, I don't have permission to enter. But all sharing is open, and on, and says that iPhoto is version 7 instead of version 9.
(Issue #2): When I created the photo book, I created an album, and then went through the arduous process of picking pictures, picking a layout, typing words, etc. I was able to see it on the old MBP through iPhoto before I upgraded the library, but since I can't go "back" with iPhoto, I want to know how I can go back and access the original library, settings, albums, photo book, etc.
