APPLE photos & iphoto library upgrader STUCK

Hi,


I tried to open Photos and got message to download iphoto library upgrader because it's too old.

However if I open it, it says it doesn't require preparation from the tool...


Looking for advice on how to continue.

See screenschot.


Grtz

The iPhoto Library Upgrader needs to be used for libraries, that have last been opened by iPhoto 7.1.2 or older. Some iPhoto Libraries may need, others not.

When you launch the iPhoto Library upgrader you have to select the library, that needs upgrading.

  1. If the library shown in the window is not the one you want to upgrade, click Choose Library and select the correct iPhoto Library.
