The Library folder contains many of the resources that installed applications need to use, including preferences, support documents, plug-in folders, and the files that describe the saved state of applications. It has long been a go-to location for troubleshooting issues with individual applications or components shared by multiple applications. By default, the Photo library are stored in /Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary. Backup the Photo library. Copy the whole Photos Library.photoslibrary folder to the external USB drive or other place. Copy all original photos from photo library. Access the location of Photo Library.photoslibrary in Finder.
If iScrapbook, Business Card Shop, Labelist, PrintLife, or Greeting Card Shop can't open your iPhoto library, it may be corrupt. iPhoto provides built-in tools to repair itself. Here's how:
a) Quit iPhoto, if it's open.
b) Hold down the Command and Option keys as you click the iPhoto icon. The Photo Library First Aid window opens.
c) Select Repair Permissions to repair permissions and unlock necessary files and folders.
d) Click Repair.
e) If the Repair Permissions option doesn't solve the problem, try the other options as well.
If iPhoto's built-in first-aid tool don't solve the problem, then there's a chance that it's because the AlbumData.xml file inside of the iPhoto library is corrupt. If it is corrupt, you'll see an error message that looks something like this:
Couldn't load iPhoto library because an error occurred: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 'The data couldn’t be read because it has been corrupted.' (Unknown character '(' (0x28) in <integer> on line 93429) UserInfo=0x100863200 {NSDebugDescription=Unknown character '(' (0x28) in <integer> on line 93429, kCFPropertyListOldStyleParsingError=The data couldn’t be read because it has been corrupted.}
