iPhoto library not opening anymore
Hi all,
seems like I am having similar issues with iPhoto as others have
Problem statement: I have 3 iPhoto libraries stored on my time capsule as an external drive (my book does not have enough storage). I always opened them from the time capsule and never faced an issue (except that it is very slow). I upgraded the operations system to Yosamety and it all works for a couple of days. However, since a week, my main library can't be opened anymore. Neither in iPhoto nor in Aperture. I am always getting a message, that I need to upgrade the library first. I checked and it is upgraded. A window opens talking about some examinations done and eventually closes and nothing has happened.
What did I try so far: I deleted the iPhoto app and re-installed (three times), but nothing changes. I also tried to ignore iPhoto and only have Aperture installed, but that does not work either. I tried a 'suffix' solution that I read on here, but it did not work.
Except of my main library, the others do still open from my external drive...
The only solution I now see is to create a new library and import everything again!! That would take days!!
My question:
1. Is there a solution to this with iPhoto?
2. Can I throw iPhoto out of the window and only use Aperture (even though I would have to re-create everything)? My masters are fortunately still all there.
Thanks for your comments
