Question for Old Toad
I'm trying to run iPhoto 9.2.3 on OS 10.6.8 and it will not launch. The messages received are: "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." I then click Upgrade, which gives me this: "iPhoto is unable to open this library- The library has issues that require rebuilding to correct". I then click Rebuild, which gives me this: "Waiting for iPhoto Library- iPhoto will open as soon as the iPhoto library is available. Time Machine might be backing it up."
Time machine is not running and the circle spins for hours and hours (10+ last night).
I've tried to rebuild the data base using option/command at iPhoto launch and I've also tried to launch using a restored file from Time Machine and tried using a new library created through iPhoto Library Manager. All attempts have given the same results with the messages above.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
