iPhoto is asking me to use iPhoto Library Upgrader, downloaded it and it wont let me select iPhoto or the libraries on my desktop.

I have iPhoto 9.5.1. The other day I tried to open an old library that I moved from another laptop. Since then, I have been getting this error message. I have downloaded iPhoto Library Upgrader and it wont let me select my 9.5.1 version of iPhoto or the old library on my desktop.

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), iPhoto 9.5.1

You do not need the iPhoto library upgrader for a library created by iPhoto 9.5.1 - only for libraries form iPhoto '08 (version 7.x.x) and older



The iPhoto Library Upgrader is a tool that prepares libraries from iPhoto '08 (v7.x) or earlier so that you can upgrade them with the current version of iPhoto. If your library is from iPhoto '09 (v8.x) or later, you don't need to use this tool.

I know, that's what's confusing me.. I shouldnt need it but it's prompting me to do so after I tried to open an old library (that would definitely need upgrader). When i tried to open the old one, via iPhoto 9.5.1 on my dock, it didnt prompt me to download upgrader but gave me another error message (which I can't recall unfortunately).


Any other suggestion would be much appreciated! I've tried restarting and did all my software upgrades...
