Please explain. What do you mean by "trying to import"?

Are you trying to import one Photos Library into another? You can only switch between Photos Libraries, but not merge Photos Libraries by importing one library into another. You can only import photos but not libraries.


This Help page explains how to handle multiple Photos Libraries: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht6d60b524
