Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

if other options fail go to Time Machine backups and regrab the iPhoto 
library.  Then start Photos while holding down the option key and select that 
library.  Photos should convert it and store the remodelled one, leaving the 
iPhoto library intact.

iPhoto to Photos migration

[petercrisp]

Last week I updated my wife's 2012 MBP to latest OSX which brought the
new Photos application. I had done my own 2014 Retina MBP previously
without issue and have all my images carried over into Photos without
a hitch.
The issue with my Wife's machine is I did the update and am unable to
see the images in Photos. I just get the intro screen with the 4
options for a new user. I've done the "Option" whilst starting it up
and directed it to the new Photo Library file and still nothing The
Photo Library file shows in Get Info of 295GB so it would appear to be
a file containing the picture and video files but how do I access it?
An issue potentially caused by me was that after the update,  I ran a
cleaner (Cleanmymac) and it did some cleaning. I did in my travels
after the cleaning notice in the Trash can was the old iPhoto
Library!!! I assume this was an action of cleanmymac. So I selected
"Put Back" and it in turn is now placed alongside the Photos Library
in the default Apple folder location.
It was only after this that I opened Photos for the first time and I
suspect that upon first opening, it runs a script which does the
migration (but not duplication) of image files.
It gets worse - much worse I am afraid.
During the update I turned Time Machine off to prevent unwanted
backups during the process of updating. I think this is a recommended
practice anyway. Well, after the dust settled (but before running
Photos) I turned TM back on and it goes through the Preparing Backup
routine for a looong while and then says Backing Up 325GB!!! I pressed
the cross to stop that and thought about it a bit. Running low on TM
disc space and having done this previously (and never once having had
to call upon the TM backup to retrieve anything in the 6 years of Mac
ownership) decided I would delete the Sparesebundle file and do a new
Backup from scratch . I suspect that the Preparing Backup routine
spotted the iPhoto Library in the Trash and the Photos library in its
normal home and detected there are two libraries to back up hence the
order of magnitude of the backup.
Anyway, now that I am over this, I still have the problem where
neither iPhoto nor Photos will open showing my wifes previous
images. 
When I launch iPhoto - I get a message "Aperture needs updating" so
when I try that, it says the version of Aperture required is not
available in the Australian Apple Store - so no good there
When I launch Photos - I get the first time user screen. If I select
Albums, I see the greyed image of the previous Events folders as
Albums and the names of Albums are accurate per the previous iPhotos
Events folder, but upon opening, nothing is visible. Still no images.
Whilst in hindsight some of my actions have been not very good, I
still don't understand why I can get at my images/videos?
Anyone have any ideas how to get out of this pickle?
Pete :(

Hi again John.
Google has just returned to the land of the living !

Thank you for your reply mate.

Re: OMG has Google crashed ?

[Stephen Chape]

Hi John,

Google is my home page.
So always opens automatically, but not now.
I even tried www.google.com  but same result.

I can open any other website, but not Google.
I just used Duckduckgo to search with no problem !
