Photos Library

Since I have loaded ElCapitan on my IMAC. Photos Library is not available for Itunes neither for IMovie (the library doesn't appear in the menu). However, I am able to watch my photos when I open the App Photos. This issue prevents to sync with AppleTv and other IOS devices and I cannot make films with Imovie using resources in Photos.

I have reloaded twice ElCapitan and also rebuilt the Library Photos but the problem remains.

Is there somebody who faced such an issue. What is the solution?

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1), IMAC on El Capitan 10.11.1

Only your System Photo Library is available in the Media Browser for other applications.

Have you enabled the Photos Library as your System Photo Library in the Photos > Preferences > General?

"Use as System Photo Library" should be greyed out. Is it?

Thank for the confirmation. So patience is the solution. Let the background processes do their work over night 🙂

I'm glad it is working now for you.
