Photos Library

Thank you Léonie for your help. Unfortunately, "use a system photo library" is already greyed out but that didn't solve the issue. I am under the impression something goes wrong with my Photo Library but I do not know what to do.

Hello Léonie. First of all, thank you for your help. The Photo Library is in the Picture folder. I have done all your tips: Rebuild the Photo Library, Removed the iPod Photo Cache as well as the Apple TV Photo Cache, rebooted the IMac and I am stil in the same situation. Everything works except that there is none of the application that sees the Photo Library.

If I open Photos, All my Photos are there but neither IMovie, ITunes or Mail works with Photos. I have no Photo Library appearing in IMovie, when I try to sync with ITunes, the Mac send a message saying "The Photos Library is not yet available, try again later" and I cannot load Photos on Mail (I don't use Pages and I do not know how to check Photos on Safari).

I am completely lost! I have an MacBook Pro for my job and it works fine. I have compared every single menu between each other, no differences. What to do?

Hello Léonie.

You put your finger on a potential solution as the Share Button was greyed out in the Photo App (I didn't see it). I have tried the solution in the Terminal App but the Share button remains greyed out.

We are on the right direction but something still miss. Sorry

Hi Léonie. I have made again all the tips you gave me with the Terminal App, rebooted and the good news is that now, my Photo Library is available within IMovie (Congrats and Thanks a lot). However, I remain unable to sync my IOS and AppleTV devices through iTunes. I still receive the message "Your Photo Library is not available for the moment. Retry later".

Regarding the "Share Button" in Photo, in fact, it worked after selecting a picture (I screwed up). Obviously, when no photos are selected, the button remains greyed out.

Therefore, only Itunes looks to have difficulties to work fine with Photos.

Hello Léonie, I have rebooted my IMac and now, again, Imovie doesn't include the Photo Library (It becomes crazy). My Photos Library in not on the Cloud. I sync always through Itunes.

I am completely lost.

I have made all the manipulations you proposed me and it looks like now, IMovie and Mail have access to the Photo Library (I am not sure it is still very stable but it looks to work).

I have looked at the link about the sync and made also all the manipulations with no success so far. However, one of the writer explains that he had to keep Photos open overnight before Itunes sync recovered. I am going to test this solution but again, thank you very much for your valuable support. If you come to Paris, you're my guest. 🙂

Every works fine finally. You have been very helpful.

It looks like when you have a large Photo Library, you have to open it for a long time (few hours) for other Apps to get the full plugin and be able to use its content. However, I believe that all the processes you invited me to apply were solving the overall issue.

Thanks again.
