Q: Ever since I tried to update or install Yosemite---I can not access my iPhoto! It is stuck saying that it is in use with another application or has become unreadable.

I can't access iPhoto after Yosemite install/upgrade on my Mac. Upgrade appears to be complete. There are no other applications that need to be updated. I've disconnected my external My Passport for fear of pictures being lost in there. I think Yosemite is the first operating system that I upgraded to?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

    Do you mean, the iiPhoto application has been upgraded to iPhoto 9.6, or the iPhoto Library has already been upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 format?

    Where is your iPhoto Library? On your My Passport or in the default location in your Pictures folder?

    If the iPhoto library is on your external drive, then check the filesystem. iPhoto needs the iPhoto Library to be on a drive formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled). If the filesystem should be wrong, move your iPhoto Library to a drive with the correct filesystem.
