The only way I can get Photo Library First Aid to appear is by creating a new library contiaining no files. How do I get iphoto connected to the corrupt library to make repairs?
iPhoto '11, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
sorry but you have to provide details since we can not see you
to get the first aid window hold down the option and command keys while launching iphoto - if this is not working we need to know exactly what does happpen

When I open iPhoto I get a window prompting to connect to an existing library or create a new one. No libraries appear in the window so I go to connect manually and try to connect my default library and nothing happens. This leads me to believe my default library is corrupt. So if i close iphoto and reopen while holding down the option and command keys, no photo library first aid window appears. After several attempts i created a new library from the prompt window when opening the program. After I create a new library I close the program and open while holding the option and command keys down and I get the first aid window. In summary, i am connected to an empty library and can't connecto to my original library with 1500+ photos to run the iphoto library first aid on.
Hold down the option and command keys and double click on the library you want to open
If that does not work then use the free trial of iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild your library
