Q: Unable to restore Photos Library

Hey everyone ...

 

On Saturday, I noticed I was having issues with Yosemite. I figured it was from just upgrading over the past 2 years.

 

I went into recovery mode, and did a fresh install of OS X. When it was all done, I restored my Photos library (which is 65GB in size) from Time Machine.

 

When I opened Photos to make sure everything was back, I got this screen...

So, I clicked on "Repair", and when it got to roughly 95%, it stalled and I got this screen.

It doesn't matter how far back into Time Machine I go to restore my Photos Library, I keep getting the same thing. I also tried deleting the package contents of the library and restoring a backup directly into it. Nada....

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks!
