Q: photos says iphoto library cannot be repaired--yet it loads fine in iphoto and iphoto library manager

I don't know but the photo library Photos works with is YourLibraryName.photoslibrary.

The iPhoto library is like YourLibraryName.photolibrary

The difference is photo and photos.

Just thought I would point that out in case you missed it.

Option plus Click on Photos to choose the Library you wish to work with.

Hope you find your answer soon, good luck.

You probably have to run one or all of the IPHOTO resets/repairs over your library.   Its in IPHOTO help which keys you have to hold down while opening IPHOTO.

Sorry don't remember which keys.

Backup your iPhoto library and launch iPhoto while holding down the option and command keys - in the resulting first aid window repair permissions and rebuild your database and try the conversion to Photos again
