Q: Photo library in shared directory - photos was unable to repair permissions on your library
Hello.
I have migrated my iPhoto the new photos app and I am happily using it on one of the two administrator accounts.
I have my photos library in the shared folder, so that theoretically two users have access to the photos library.
When I try to open the photos library from the second adminsistrator account, I get the error message "An error occurred while repairing permissions - photos was unable to repair permissions on your library" and I cannot open the library.
I tried verify and repair disk permissions using disk utility, same error message.
I ensured that the first administrator had quit the app before trying the second.
I'm using OS X 10.10.3 on a mid 2011 iMac, 3.1GHz i5 8GB RAM.
Photos is v1.0, library size is 221.57 GB.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4), iTunes 10
