How are you trying to open the second library? Open the second library by dragging it onto the Photos icon in the Dock.
If you are seeing a warning "the library has already been migrated", click the button "Open Photos" in the panel.
See this help text: If Photos won't open a library that you already migrated - Apple Support
hi leonie, thanks a lot for your fast answer/help, but:
there is no possibility to open photos, when the window tells me "already merged"
look. it means "more information" and "quit"
In that case select your iPhoto Library (Mediathek) "iPhoto Library bis2014" in the Finder. Then press the key combination ⌘I or use the menu "File > Get Info" (Ablage > Information, if your Mac is set to German).
In the Info panel open the Name&Extension section. Uncheck the option "Hide extension" if it is active. Then change the filename extension back to .photolibrary. It will probably be set to ".migratedphotolibrary".
Then try again to migrate the library.
hi leonie,
thanks a lot - it helped. it works.
have a nice day!
best, andreas
Gern geschehen, Andreas! 🙂
