Q: Photos Won't Import: "Database error: failed to persist version"
Hello everyone. I'm importing all my photos into Photos for OS X, and mostly loving it. I've been exporting my albums from Aperture into a folder, then importing into Photos. Worked fine for the first few days, automatically uploaded to iCloud, everything synced to all my other devices, great.
In the last couple days, anything I import comes up with this error:
| "Database error: failed to persist version" |
Photos seems to think these photographs are not valid files, though they are. I get the preview in Finder, I can open them in Preview and any other image application. The files that didn't work initially were JPEG from a Nikon D700 so I figured it was something specific with that camera, but then I tried importing files from a D300 that previously worked a few days ago, and now they don't.
I've tried:
- Processing them with JPEGmini first
- Exporting from Aperture again (both originals and versions)
- Importing into particular albums, rather than just importing
- Restarting machine
OS X 10.10.3, all updates applied. What the what? Anyone have a similar problem? Thanks!
Photos for OS X, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
