I downloaded OS X Yosemite yesterday, the progress bar at the end of the installation seems to sit there not moving. My iPhoto is the latest vn which I have downloaded through the Apple store but the folder is empty. When I click :
"iPhoto Library is closed on a locked disk or you do not have permission to make changes to it. iPhoto can try to repair ....
Please help!
Thanks
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
I don't understand. If your installation is stuck...
the progress bar at the end of the installation seems to sit there not moving
Then how are you trying to access iPhoto?
.........the Yosemite has downloaded but when clicking iPhoto a pop up appears..
"The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it. iPhoto can try to repair the permissions." 😝
Not sure what to do next ?????
Where is your iPhoto Iibrary? Is it on an external drive? Then check the file system of the drive. The library needs to be on a locally mounted disk formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled), if it is not in your Pictures folder or on your system drive.
See: iPhoto: Issues with FAT32-formatted drives
Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture
Couple of things to try:
Restart your mac and try launch iPhoto again.
If that fails:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a file called ‘iPhoto’Lock.data or similar. Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If not: Where is your iPhoto Library stored? If it's on an External Disk, what format is that?
Yay! Its good to have all my pics back guys. Thanks for the prompt response
