Terminal Commands from Apple do not work to transfer iPhoto pictures to Photo app.
I updated to Yosemite...and now I cannot get Photos to retrieve my pictures from my iPhoto Library. I have tried the commands provided by Apple (If Photos can’t copy or create a library - Apple Support) and they do not work. I THINK it is because my pictures are not in the default location (Mac1/Pictures) as per the instructions from the commands. They are on my desktop (Mac1/Desktop/Official iPhotos/iPhoto Library)
The specific error I am receiving is: "Photos was unable to make a copy of your library before preparing it. Photos does not have the necessary permissions..."
So my true question is instead of "...your_username /Users/your_username/Pictures" should I do "...your_username /Users/your_username/Desktop" or what??
I've had iPhotos since 2007 and I am freaking out-hoping I haven't lost my all my pictures and events. :/
Thanks
