cant open photo library I exported all my photos and videos from Six "PHOTOS" libraries into a folder to later import and create one "Home Library". I had called APPLE Support and ask this question: "When open PHOTOS, I would get a tutorial page NOT the library." -APPLE response: "the reason is your "HOME LIBRARY" is in an external drive which is turned off... the computer can not access to it." Which was correct! I was the told, and walked through, how to create a Single "HOME LIBRARY". I EXPORTED all my Photos in a folder, IMPORTED all photos into one library and put that "HOME LIBRARY" onto my internal hard drive so it could be recognized easily. .. I does not open! It now shows an empty Library (as you see in the photo i provided) even though my HOME LIBRARY in on my internal hard drive.. Why is my new photo library not being recognized?! Thanks All

That happened occasionally to me with earlier versions of Photos. With the new version 3.0 it's not done that.

You'll need to force quit Photos and relaunch it.
