All my libraries disappeared in Photos after upgrading to High Sierra

After upgrading to High Sierra, all of my previously created albums (birthdays, events, etc) have now completely disappeared.

All of them.

The individual photos all seem to be present in Photos but years worth of cataloging the individual photos into albums is.


I have attempted to repair the Photos library (option-command) but no use.


Please help...

Have you looked in. the sidebar?

You may need to disclose your albums:

To the right of the title "Albums" is a hidden Show/Hide control, You will see it, if you hover the pointer there.

There is also disclosure triangle to the left of "My Albums", click it.

If this is not the problem, you may have opened a different library, or the library is on an incompatible external drive. where is your library stored? Is it on an external drive? Has it been restored from a Time Machine backup?
