Specify read and write permissions to access external drives on Mac to correct this factor. IPhoto library is running out of free space: If the drive on which iPhoto library is saved is running out of free space, then this could be the reason why your iPhoto library might have gotten locked. Way 1: Change System Date and Time on your Mac. It is possible that due to the wrong date and time on your Mac, Apple servers are having difficulty to verify the newly downloaded macOS Catalina. Here are the steps: Step 1: Simply, go to the Apple menu and click on ‘System Preferences’. Step 2: Then, navigate to ‘Date & Time’. If you have a permissions issue with your library, you might be able to resolve the issue by using the Photos library repair tool. If the volume isn't formatted APFS or Mac OS Extended (Journaled), or has been used for Time Machine backups but hasn't been erased, this checkbox will either not be present, or won't be selectable after unlocking. Copy the library to an external drive with sufficient free storage and set it as the primary Photos library, then enable iCloud Photo Library, and, after syncing, copy it back to the main drive.

I never used the utility, so I don’t know what went wrong, but something did if that’s the outcome, or something is missing in the Time Machine backup. Because she can’t run the older version of iPhoto, she can’t simply rebuild the library, which is the usual suggestion. (I’d make sure you had version 1.1 via the link above, as older versions are out there, too.)

I’d normally suggest for forward version compatibility to try to find an intermediate version of software, which has been useful for folks with various older releases of the iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote). However, the only course of action with an iPhoto 7 library is apparently to run it through the upgrader; you can’t just try to open it in iPhoto 8 (or 9). (I don’t have older libraries to check this out, so I’m relying on Apple and forum posters.)
If the upgrader just won’t work with the old library, the only real solution is to crack open the library and extract ones photos.
Where Is My Iphoto Library
- Control-click the iPhoto Library.
- Choose Show Package Contents from the contextual menu.
- Drag (to move) or Option-drag (to copy) the Masters folder to the Desktop or to another drive.
- Launch the latest version of iPhoto 9 and import that Masters folder. Or launch Photos and do the same.
Unfortunately, you’ll lose a lot of information associated with photos and video that’s stored within the library, such as metadata, potentially some edits, albums, and other organizational elements. But this is better than losing the high-resolution versions of your media.
