HI!
I've updated yesterday and today when wanted to open Photos I receive this error message and Photos does not open!!!!
"The application built with PhotoLibraryPrivate version 209.52.00 but is running with version 215.65.00."
Any help?
TIA
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
Launch Photos while holding down he option and command keys - repair the database
10.10.4 included an update to Photos 1.0.1 - it sound lie the library did not upgrade correctly
LN
Nope. Same thing. I've already tried that.... 😢
Ok - why don't we save some time and you tell us what you have tried so we do not waste everyones time a making suggestion after suggestion only to have you lost back "I already did that"- we can not see you and only know what you tell us
LN
ooopssss sorry.....
Only tried that and the usual: Repair Permitions, Disk Verify.
TNX!
Hold down the option key and launch Photos - create a new test library - does that work? And under the Photos menu ==> about Photos verify the version you now have
LN
I can't do anything. It only shows this window and I can only press OK.
Option won't do anything. I've moved the Photos Library and same result....
Photos even won't allow me to click on About Photos.
TNX
then you need to back up and boot into the recovery volume and reinstall the OS -- OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support

Oh.... I was afraid of this..... such a PITA....
I have a lot of work to do right now I think Photos make can wait a couple of days....
Thanks for the GREAT help!
Ok
reinstalling the OS is pretty painless and quick if you have a good internet connection
Somehow your instal of Photos did not work and I would be concerned that other software might not be installed correctly too
LN
No need for a reinstallation....I have the resolution my friend, Just open photos from the application folder in finder on the left side and it should open.
It just seems that you will only get that error message if you open it from the dock.
So remove the photos from the dock and then drag it back there from the applications folder and that should have it working.
Let me know if it works.
OK! Didn't come to try that (good) one!
What I did was using Pacifist to extract Photos application from the combo update package, put it in the Applications Folder from my Yosemite Backut an voila: it worked.
Tried that to avoid the installation, as the rest of the system seems to be working perfectly, without a hitch.
nyronxxx_, your solution is even easier. I'll try it next time.
Thanks everybody!
Did you have the Photos app stored on a secondary drive?
I had this exact problem, and it was because the OSX update re-wrote a new version of photos into the Applications folder on the main drive. It also presumably updated some stuff related to opening the photos library. There was a conflict between the new Photos app on the primary drive and the old Photos app on the secondary drive.
Deleting the old photos app and re-linking the dock icon to the new app solved it.
This sounds great except I don't know how to do this. Tried the Command + Option and did not work. Really hated to see IPhoto go seemed better than Photos.
If anyone can tell me how to link etc please do.
