Hi Ronni, I've just this moment decided to transfer the application iPhoto 7.1.5 from the old to the new MacBook Pro and renamed it iPhotoV7.1.5. Changed the name of the transferred library that wouldn't open to 'iPhoto Library' and bingo it opens using iPhotoV7.1.5. So there must be a compatibility issue with iPhoto 9.1.5 trying to open a library from the 7.1.5 version! cheers Douglas

You are running OS X 10.6.8, I can’t see where you mention what version of iPhoto, but if it is iPhoto’09 or ’11 To Restore your entire iPhoto library. 1. Quit iPhoto. 2. Open the folder containing your iPhoto library. Home > Pictures > click iPhoto Library once (to highlight) 3.. Then ‘Enter Time Machine'. Use the Time Line to go back to the ‘correctly’ working iPhoto Library 4.. Click on the library and hit Restore. To open Time Machine, click its icon in the Dock, or click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine.
